SENTIMENT AND MURDER.

The postponement of the execution of the
murderer Kemmler, who was to have been
the first to suffer death by electricity, may
not in itself be an evil of any particular
moment, but it is something of mis- or
tune that so much nonsense has been talked
about the cruelty of the death punishment.
The affair has given the opponents of capi-
tai punishment chance of which they have
not been slow to take advantage. For a
few days it looked as if the great State of
New York were about to abolish its death
penalty for murder in response to the skill
fully managed campaign of an electrical cor
poration that objects to the exploitation of
electricity's deadly power, and the renewed
efforts Of misguided sentimentalists and
humanitarians. For the present, however,
there is no likelihood of murder being en-
couraged by the removal of exemplary
punishment in the Empire State. We are
glad of it, for ill-advised clemency might
have found noisy advocates in this State,
where already murderers are seldom
punishen as they should be.
1t is curious how eager some people are to
rush to the rescue of a murderer; and the
more atrocious the crime, the greater the
sympathy for the criminal, as q rule. No
sooner is the murderer in peril of sharing
his victims fate, than hundreds of inverte-
brate men and hysterical females clamor for
his salvation. The incontinent fools who
are never so happy as when expressing their
ignorance and folly in letters to the news
papers, hail the conviction and sentence of
murderer as an opportunity of the first class.
And very often in the maudlin flood of sup
plication in Gains behalf, the fate of Abel
is altogether forgotten.
Another miserable feature of this senti-
mentality gone mad is that when case oc-
ours like that of the luckless colored man
Smith, now in the shadow of the gallows,
case in which there are many good reasons
for mercy, the sympathetic crowd shrinks
away. and hardly a voice is raised to stay
the hand of justice.

Assessments for Street Repaving.


In street repaying, SO much of which is now
being ordered, would it not be as well for the
city authority to formulate rule which should
apply to those thoroughfares that were i'm
proved under the Penn avenue acts and its
supplements" The city at large paid the great
big end Of the bills for those improvements,
the abutring property owners Though the ma
jority of them petitioned for the same) having
declined utterly. or compromised, by paying a
proportion more or less small, when the Su-
preme Court decided against the Penn avenue
act.
The rule 1 should suggest is that in repairing
any Of the thoroughfares in question each
should be considered as new work, except in
the proportion to the whole amount of its Penn
avenue act improvement cost 1t has paid Take
a street that cost $40 per front loot and which
compromised on 50, that street should be re-
garded as under the repairing law only to the
extent OF one-ffth, the fourfifths of the cost to
be regarded as though the street were TO be i'm
proved de novo. This would be nothing more
than fair to the general taxpayers and not at
all unfair to the abutters Immediately con-
cerned. IAMRIGHT
PITTsBURG May 8.
lThis might be an equitable and excellent
plan were it not imperative, since the law al
ready requires the city to do all repaving on its
own account and exonerates abutters from any
responsibility for repavlng excepting where
they voluntarily assume it, sometimes to get a
better requirement. than the city might pat
down. for instance, asphalt in place of cobble
stone, the abutters do assume part Of the cost.

A POINT THEY FORGOT.

The courts can be relied upon to settle the
battle of the two big traction companies &C.
cording to the law; but it is interesting to
note that in the sharp attacks of
rival counsel yesterday upon each
others Notifications, no mention at
all was made of the obvious fact that
the interests of the city would have been
more justly served had Councils insisted
upon an adequate compensation for the
rights of way over the city streets.
Rapid transit has been great blessing to
the town. 1t saves time and pains to the
citizen; it helps real estate; it is the boon Of
the period. But it also brings immense
profits to the proprietors, and in parting
with the rights to the streets, Pittsburg
should have stipulated for more paving and
repairs and for revenue considerations
which seem to have been wholly overlooked.
If this is too late to mend, then the next
best thing to hope for is that competition
may be declared in order, with the prospect
of yet lower fares. But it should be con-
tinuous competition, not the sort that would
end in consolidation, in which latter event
the last state of the traveller would be worse
than the first.

The Carnegie Library Site.

10 the Editor OF Inc DISPATCH:
The gentleman who predicts that in ten years
hence tsburg's fashionable and best attended
opera house will be in East Liberty, etc., talks
nonsense as regar ds making that reason for
building the Carnegie main library in East
Liberty. The library is not intended for Pitts
burg's fashionable and best attended opera
house audiences, wherever they may choose to
drive their carriages to in ten years. New
York is not parallel case either. New York
is not built that way. and has not got the
natural advantages of Pittsburg for putting up
imposing buildings like the Bedford avenue
site presents; and as far as that goes a very
large percentage of the people who patronize
New York's principal theaters. ETC., come from
Jersey and Brooklyn sides, Just the same as
Pittsburg places of amusement get the bulk of
their audiences from Allegheny and the South
side.
No matter how the city spreads in ten years
or LOCO years, the plain solid fact is nature
presents a commanding and unique spot in the
midst of great working class population, now
called the Bedford avenue site, which ought to
be utilized when SO much money is given to
Deautify and adorn this city. Just Lecause
nature gave, her such commanding places
which the citizens had the common sense to
use makes the city of Edinburgh in Scotland
the finest city in Europe-the modern Athens,
and the most interesting place of resort to
American tourists. Good drainage yentila-
wants and would get. and court yard and
promenade terrace, with bandstand, could be
constructed that would be the most popular
place of resort in this county for the working
classes. .- -. A BooKKEEPER.

POLITICS IN COURT.

The unique spectacle of court Of equity
called upon to assist in determining the
qualifications of delegates to a nominating
convention was presented yesterday in con-
nection with the convention in Philadelphia
to nominate Democratic candidate for Mr..
Randall's seat. This is a reminder that
political primaries are recognized under the
law, and that the practical politicians who
practice the games which are alleged in this
case are liable to find the laws interfering
with their plans But the evidence that the
Philadelphia Democrats cannot nominate a
candidate in the only Philadelphia
district where they have = chance
of success. without going to the
courts to settle their disputes, does not speak
very we'll either for their honesty or for the
harmony. 1t might almost be supposed that
flying rumors to the effect that the Demo-
Gratis are going to make an inroad on the
stronghold of protection had set the Demo-
Gratis to quarreling over the spoils before
they are won. But Pennsylvania Demo-
Gratis always were perniciously pugnacious.

character of the performance given by the
Tuesday Night Club at the Pittsburg Theater
last night. Which is Which" is a notable
little comedy by q. They're Smith. 1t is neat
piece of work, possessing plot simple, direct
and of itself humorous. and a dialogue
more than usually witty. 1t tells Of an i'm
pecunious painter beset by duns, to whom
a convenient uncle comes at a critical moment
with assistance in the shape Of wealthy ward.
The uncle bids the painter WOO his ward, who is
presently ushered into the studio with another
girl Nobody being on hand to make introduc-
tions, the two girls for a joke resolve to ex-
change identities for the time. The artist is
thoroughly mystifed, and against his better
judgment woos the heiress. under the impress
sion that she is pennless. Of course he wins
his suit and finds out (which is Which, to
his great satisfaction.
Mr.. Frew played the young artist in his
wonted way, of which easy assurance and quiet
humor are the telling characteristics. The ex-
traordinary courtship compressed into ten
minutes was delightfully."- funny picture. or
course the beauty and grace of Miss Watson
gave piquancy to this passage. In the prelude
to 1t Miss Reymer was charmingly feminine

something we are not wont to get from anna

THE HOME CANDIDATES CANVASS.

The interviews published this morning
that if any attempt has been made to draw
uafavorable inferences to Major Montooth's s
candidacy from the recent discussion in the
club upon the Governorship, it will be
futile. There appears to be no doubt that
the handsome Major is Just as much in favor
with the greater number of the Americas
BOYS now as be was when they formerly
Endorsed him. From the statements made
it is quite clear that considerations of
courtesy to Delamater and Hastings, who
have since become members, alone stand in
the way of the club making a trip to Harris
burg and ''whooping it up'' for Allegheny
county's soldier candidate.
Also, since the subject is up, it may be
we'll to remark that if Delamater and Hast
ings run close race, as is altogether likely,
Montooth, with the Allegheny delegation
solid and several other counties to hear from
favorably, will have a highly interesting
fighting chance for the honor he seeks. He
is known as competent and popular man,
with friends in all quarters of the State and
well wishers within all faction lines. No
one doubts that he would be elected if NOM
mated.
Allegheny county aspirants have often got
the cold shoulder from the practical politi-
clans in the nomination of State tickets,
and, in several instances, the others who
were honored in their stead fell at the polls.
There is. however, luck in persistence.
This time there are probable contingencies
in which Montooth stock would be highly
promising investment.

SHAKESPEARE ON THE STAGE.

Ought Shakespeare's plays to be acted
upon the stage? Mr.. Andrew Lang, who is
writing about Shakespeare's comedies in one
of our magazines, thinks that Shakespeare
should not be put upon the stage. 'The
poetry of Shakespeare" says Mr.. Lang,
seems to me to die in the glare of the foot
lights and in the mannerisms of stage pro-
nunciation." 1t is lucky for the children
OF men that the nicehess of such men as Mr..
Lang has not availed to keep the great dra-
matist's plays from the theater. Despite the
cant to the contrary, Shakespeare is not and
never has been read BY the masses. They
would never have learned the wondrous
value OF Shskespeare's works if the theater
had not made them intimately acquainted
with his comedies and tragedies. But aside
from this utilitarian view, Mr.. Lang's stand
strikes Us as wrong artistically. The

grandeur OF Shakespeare's poetry. its deli
cacy and truth, are all brought out to the
best advantage by actors-supposing always
that they are artists of the first class. None
but these should attempt Shakespearean
roles.
Again, Mr. Lang in rhapsody over the
characters of Jessiea and Portia in "The
Merchant of Venice" says that "they speak
to us with soundless voices" and that, there
fore, to fill them with flesh and blood and
vocal competence is a proclamation. Surely
this convicts Mr.. Lang of hypercriticism.
The beauty of the two chief female cbarac-
ters in "The Merchant of Venice is their
rare naturalness. They speak to us not
with "soundless voices"-whatever they
may be-but in the clear dulcet tones of
women that we all may know. They are
women of any age and of all ages in the
worlds history. POrtid breathes to-day and
,JeSsicd, by no means perfect young per-
son, can be discovered in Pittsburg without
much of search. For this reason we dis
agree with Mr.. Lang again, when he de-
nies that actresses can be found to
play these parts properly. He asks: 1.-THE
witchery of Jessicd, the romance and reck-
lessness; the dignity, the sweetness, and in
turn the mischief of Portia-what women
are to represent them? Can we ever hope to
see them on the stage as we see them in our
fancy?" Women have been found to bring
Jessica into real existence, and even the
graceful, commanding, playful Portia-the
feminine paragon-has been embodied most
