DEATH BY AsPHYXIATION
Suggested by a Nevada Man as scheme for
Killing Criminals.

Killing Criminals.
Iwould suggest asphy yxiation by :gas as a
painless and quick means of executing
criminals, writes Sam Davis, of Carson, New,
to the New York World.
In the past 20 years over a dozen men have
been killed by gas in the Comstock mines.
The gas was produced by combustion OF old
timbers. In several cases it came on the
miners unawares, and in every instance the
victim died without tremOr. One miner
was opening bulkhead, and as he smashed
in one of the planks the gas escaped through
the opening. He was laughing and talking
at the time, and the instant he inhaled the
gas his body 1nk to the ground, word
half spoken died upon his lips, and his COM
rades a few yards away were enabled to es-
cape uninjured When his body was taken
out his face still wore a laughing expires
sion. Evidence could be produced ad infini-
tum that asphyXiation with certain gases
is instantaneous and painless.
Place the condemned man in an atr-tight
chamber with glass sides, turn on the gas
and in two seconds he would die a painless
death, with no burning of flesh by electricity
or the neck breaking by the hangman's rope.

THE arrival at Liverpool of the steamer
which took a cargo of grain from Duluth
evokes the remark from the New York Sun
that the grain could have been transported
in less time and at lower rates by way OF
New York. If that is so, it may be taken as
an assured fact that grain will continue to
go by way of NeY York. But it is more than
doubtful whether this will continue to be the
case if the New York idea of shutting the
Canadian railroads out of the transportation
business is given practical effect.

IT is pathetic to hear the plant of the
Minneapolis Athletic Club that it loses about
$l2, 900 from the stoppage of the prize fight be-
cause 1.-The fight could and should have been
prevented 80 to go days ago, before dollar
of expense had been incurred" Inasmuch
as the statutes forbidding the fight were in
existence long before the time specified, the
loss seems a very appropriate penalty for an
athletic club" which proceeds on the as
that it can nullify the law.

THAT the Liberal element is gaining

ment to prevent the Gladstonians gaining
control. 1t has already found it necessary
to steal the Liberal thunder to stand right
