CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

The disgusting processes by which a
negro was killed by stages about the
gallows, after being chloroformed, and
giving some suicidal aid, are used with
some pertinency to show that the gallows
is barbarOus, and should be put away.
That it should be put out of public view
is easily suggested, and it may be ques-
toned if there is not in the develop
ments OF science some more decent proc
ess of ending life. But the need of cap
ital punishment is not at all affected by
any unpleaSantness in methods. There
is little question that electricity or
chloroform will eventually show orderly
and pleasant processes. The governor of
one OF the Western states is being petit
toned to spare the life of young fiend
fifteen years old, who coolIy murdered
and robbed two lads in freight ear
without sign of provocation. There
can be no hope of reform in such case,
and the death penalty is needed to pre-
vent any possibility that the murderer
may be let out some time.

THE TWILIGHT CLUR.

In the regular order of things there
should have been a meeting of the Twi-
light club last night, unless blood on
the moon or some other portent had
warned its members from attendance.
The GLOBES most vigilant reporter,
however, was unable TO run down any
gathering Of the savants, and it locks as
though the dinners, which had dwindled
from "forty present. in the fall to less
than dozen fortnight ago, had finally
suffered total eclipse.
There have been several successive
efforts made to maintain an organiza-
ton like the Twilight club in ST Paul,
and the Twilight club itself is the most
notable result. 1t was composed, for
the most part, of very interesting and
intelligent men, and the subjects were
as well selected and entertainingly dis
cussed as they would be likely to be
anywhere under similar circumstances.
The dinner was usually good, in addi-
ton to this; and yet, somehow or other.
there was no enthusiasm about attend
ance, and great many people who
could have contributed very much to
such occasions, having come once, never
came again.
There are several explanations for
this state of affairs. one OF two OF which
it is worth while to note In the first
place, in our city men of the grade of
intelligence who would be welcomed
at meetings of the Twilight club are
very much absorbed in the actual solu-
ton of problems of much completely

THE TAX LIST.
A Property Owner Wants 1t Pub
iiShed.

To the Editor OF the Globe.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 2S.-I would like to
call the attention OF the taxpayers of St.
Paul and Ramsey county and the Ram
sey county delegation 70 the necessity
and Importance of publishing the real
estate tax list of the city and county for
the information of property owners.
The heavy property owners have a
knack of getting around the assessor
and making it appear that vacant and
unprOductiye property should be UNI
dervalued. Mayor Smith has gone on
record as being opposed to this gigantic
swindle. He says improved property,
such as the poor mans homestead,
should have the benefit of the rebate.
The only practical way of reaching the
matter is to have the tax list published,
so that we can all see for ourselves and
make comparisons. If it is necessary
to publish assessments for street sprink-
ling time and again for the compare
lively small amount involved, it is GER
tainly very necessary to publish the
general tax list. The attention of the
Central Citizens union is called to this
matter. TAXPAYER.
