PARRICIDE IN THE NINETEENTH CEN
TCRI

Three weeks ago a couple OF poachcrS were
hanged in England for having in the course OF
a midnight anray killed a gamckccpcr who
had attempted to interfere with their nocturnal
sport. and not a voice was raised in their be
half week later two lads one nineteen and
the other seventeen years of age, were sen
fenced to death at CIewc for the prcmcdltatcd
murder Of their father. and not only the jury
which had convicted them, but nearly hall OF
the adult population Of Great Britain. pleaded
in their behalf for mercy and for a commute
ton of their sentence. Monster petitions were
signed, long cable dispatches were sent to the
Queen ut AiX-cS- I'ans, and public meetings
were held by the score demanding that capital
punishment should be rcmittcd i'll their case.
Many Of the leading newspapers champOncd
the cause of the young PARTICLES, and one OF
them even asserted that to hang them would
he a scandal, and that although a period of
penal discipline must be undergone by them,
yet it is permissible to hope and believe that
opportunity may yet be afforded to them Of
icdccming their character" The Secretary OF
the Home Department, in his efforts to please
everybody recommended the Queen to com
mute the sentence Of one of the prisoners and
TO allow the other to be hanged. This course
has naturally failed to give satisfaction either
to the friends Of the young criminals or to
those who believe that they should suffer the
death penalty. The minority protest in the
strongest fashion against the escape Of one OF
the brothers from the gallows, while the ma
iority denounce the Secretary with such indig
nant terms for his " barbarity" in permitting
the elder brother to atone for the crime on the
scaffold that his position has become unten-

made by him to the A1nory Board Yesterday
the contractors for the 22d Regiment Armofy
ought to have difficulty in getting paid for
their work and as they have failed to do 1t
on time. is there any good reason why the
penalty provided for in the contracts should
not be strictly enforced? 1t also appears that
thousands Of dollars are needed already to re-
pair the roof of the 18th Regiment Armory.
which was finished about two years ago. MIR.
Coleman says that this work should never have
been accepted. That is evident enough now
but some one should be held accountable for
elaring neglect of duty two years ago.

1t is perfectly plain that an uncommonly
vigorous effort must he made, and made at
once. if the bill relating to the Aqueduct con-
tractors claims is defeated in the Assembly
In spite of the protest made by the Aqueduct
Commissioners and other city officials and In
spite Of the energetic opposition OF the press
of the city, the Senate yesterday refused 10
reconsider its action. The vote on the qucs-
ton was 10 to 9, though the bill itself was
passed on Tuesday with only one dissenting
vote. Apparently the Assembly is disposed to
push the matter through without allowing
much time for consideration. The influences
behind the bill are powerful, and forbidden
and abhorent forces seem to be at work

Ballot reform is making progress even
though Governor Hill blocks its way in New
York. The lower house of the ONO Legs
laturc yesterday passed an Australian balloe
bill. with provisions for exclusively olhciai
bal,ts. to be distributed only in the election
booths, and there is a good prospect that 1t
will become law. The ONO Legislature
is Democratic by a small majority but that
party lines are oblierated on THIS question Is
shown by the fact that yesterday 5 vote was
g. to 49, Moreover, unlike Governor Ill.,
Governor Campbell is in favor OF the reform.
The Assembly gave a hearing on the Fassett
Rapid Transit bill yesterday afternoon ana
the points made in the debate are gwen IN
our Albany dispatches. Senator faSSett agreed
to amend the measure by extending its pro-
visions to all the cities of the State having over
100. coo inhabitants. BY so dong he greatly
strengthened it, disarming It's enemies OF the
weishtest objection which they had filed
against it. Counsellor Bechman laid great
stress upon "home rule"-but his argument
would have been more impressive if leading
home rulers of the metropolis were not in such
particularly bad odor just now Mr. Fish gave
notice of his intention of offering an amend
ment when the bill comes before the Assembly
TO insert the commission named by Mayor
Grant The salient feature OF the hearing was
the decision of the Railroad Committee before
which it took place again TO report the bill
favorably to the House. This will be done
to-day. and possibly it may be passed before
the recess is taken.
