HANGMAN'S DAY.

The law had it's inning yesterday and four murderers paid the extreme pen alty for their crimes. Two of these were judicially executed in Nevada and two in Canada. The feature of the day in this line was the execution in Elko, where woman was one of the victims. She and her hus- band had killed an old man on whose place they lived and whom they owed money. They crushed in the old mans skull and then mutilated his remains and buried them, confident that if found they would not be recognized. The t..eOry is that the woman, who was of powerful build, killed the old man with an exc, while he was asleep. The re- mains were found and the couple were convicted. Yesterday the murderers were executed and died protesting their inno- cence. There is natural prejudice against hanging woman, but if Mrs. Potts was guilty she we'll merited her fate. If she was really innocent an awful mistake was made, but mistake that will be repeated so long as men have to be hanged for shedding the blood of their fellows.

AN ExORBITANT PENALTY,

The City Council in an ordinance regulating the levy and collection of taxes of the City of Phenix for the years 1S90-9l" have laid a penalty upon delinquent taxpayer, that is without precedent the most exorbitant ever known.
 Section 9 provides that eff within one year after the sale of real property for delinquent taxes the owner or other party having a direct interest therein appear and pay such tax and delinquency with all costs thereon, together with thirty t30) per cent penalty on the pur- chase price, then such party in interest may redeem said property"
 A clause in section 12 provides that "on filing such certifcate' [of sale of delinquent real property for taxesl with the City recorder the lien of the city vests in the purchaser and is only di- vested by payment to him or to the Tax Collector for his use, of the purchase money with thirty (30) per cent penalty as aforesaid and seven per cent interest on the purchase money from date of sale."
 Did anybody ever hear of such an ex- orbitant penalty as this? Thirty-seven per cent added as penalty and interest on delinquent taxes or forfeit the property in one year. Verify our Dem- ocratic Council and Mayor are pressing the poorer class of tax payers with heart less severity and we much doubt if the court will approve such an ordinance.

THE ELECTION BILL.

Just as soon as the Silver bill is out of the way, the Republicans will take up the Federal Election bill, which was re- ported by the Committee on Elections on Thursday. This bill was prepared by the Committee in pursuance of in- structions from the Republican caucus. It will provide for the election of the President, the Vice President and Members of Congress.
 In reporting the bill the Committee say that they believe that fraud, vio- lence and corruption exist to such de- gree and that popular confidence has been so largely shaken in regard to the cleo tions in many Congressional districts that they have as little doubt of the expe- diency of such measure as they have proposed as they have of the full and absolute power of Congress to enact legislation of this kind whenever circumstances seem, as they now do, to imperatively demand it. This has been the sentiment of the country for many years, and the party was very slow in coming to this de- cision.
 The object of the bill is to reach the abuses in the South, and the Democrats will fight the measure as they have never yet antagonized billin Congress. This very antagonism demonstrates the need of the bill, and the Republican who will not stand by it will be recreant to his party. Even Democrats do not disguise the fact that American citizens endowed with the right of suf- frage are not permitted to enjoy that right in many districts. Open boast is made that the negro shall not vote, and fully one-half of the Congressmen from the south rep resent the minority party, occupying their seats fraudulently and at the sacri- flee of law and justice.
 This violation of the letter and spirit of the law has thus far done no harm save to give the Democracy fictitious and fraudulent strength in the National House of Representatives. It can, how ever, not be long continued without in- jury to the whole country, for even the strongest nation cannot atone fraud like this long without danger. The Re- publican party has determined that henceforth the elections for President, Vice-President and Congressmen shall be held under the control and machinery of the Federal government, and as nearly within the requirements of the law as the full force of the government can accomplish that end. There is am- pie authority in the Constitution for such law, the demand for it is impera- tive and it's enactment should not be delayed.

Why doesn't THE REPUBLICAN suggest some names for the office of Delegate to Congress and also for the various county offices? It is time it seems to me- that these matters should re ceive some attention. PEDRO
 As a straight Republican newspaper, one that has no axe to grind and nc ambition beyond the success of the party, TIE REPUBLICAN will never be found meddling with nominations. II is not the province of newspaper tc advocate men before a Convention and unless the nominations be notoriously corrupt, its unequivocal duty to advocate the election of it's party nominees after 6 Convention. This is the platform ol THE REPUBLICAN in relation to it's own party. Hence our silence on the subjects suggested.

GOVERNOR WATERMAN has earned the thanks of every good man and woman in California for his manly stand against prize fighting. The brutal exhibitions which the athletic clubs have been giv- ing of late are disgrace to mankind and discredit to the State. The fnan- cial and social influence of the members of the California Club was so great as to overawe the police and all local objec- tors. It remained for the Governor to break this influence and to put the po- lice on their mettle. Chief Crowley has already announced his intention to stop prize fighting in San Francisco, and that he would not only stop the next contest attempted at any of the clubs, but that he would arrest the principals, seconds, officials and every one who aids or abets the offenders against the law. probably including the spectators. The next on the card is the La Blanche-Mitchell bat tie at the California Club. After that event the Occidental Club has an exhi- bition billed. What the California Club will do on account of the announcement of the head of the police department re- mains to be seen. Both La Blanche and Mitchell are in training for their contest, in which great deal of interest is being manifested by the sports, as it is con- ceded that if it occurs it will be one of the best ever seen in the city. It will almost certainly be declared off. There is no doubt that the days of prize fight ing have ended in San Francisco, and for the good of society and especially for the rising generation it is well that it has been ended.

THE RAILROAD BILL.

The worst fears of the friends of the Maricopa railroad bill were realized last evening when word was received that the President had vetoed the bill. The President undoubtedly acted in en- tire good faith and conscientiously in the matter, but through ignorance of local requirements and possibilities was led into error and did this community and the entire Territory a great wrong. There is still hope that Congress may right this wrong, by passing the bill de- spite the veto and determined effort should be made in this direction.

TIE complaints. against the census enumerators were to be expected, but that they are all justifable is not so cer- tain. Many an ambitious town will have it's wings clipped by the census and boom towns naturally kick, but it doesn't follow that the enumeration has not been properly made. In the main the work has undoubtedly been honestly and conscientiously performed. That the census will be perfectly done no one will contend, but it will be approxi- mately perfect and that will answer all practical uses.

IT is the prevalant opinion throughout the Territory that county offices are too lucrative. There are no end of men who as private citizens were glad to earn from $40 to $100 month who as county officials draw from $500 to $500 month. It is too much money and the people cannot afford to pay it. The duties and responsibilities of county positions do not call for farcy salaries and it will be one of the first duties of the next Legisla- ture to cut down fees and salaries.
