DEATH 6Y ELECTRICITY,


ors. This makes New York feel !
great deal more civilized than if it
were sick at the stomach.-St.
Louis Republic.
It is safe to say that in New York
at least the rope and scaffold will
never more be the method of legally
putting condemned murderers to
death. The adoption of electrical
execution by other states will not
long be acknowledgements Plain
dealer.
The new killing machine worked
pretty we'll, but the officials have
managed to get up a mysterious
muddle on the subject that is offen-
sive. 1t was stupidity not to
admit the reporters-the witnesses
ofthe people.-Cincinnati CONNER
cial Gazette.
The four executions by electricity
which took place in Sing Sing
prison were entirely successful
from scientific standpoint and
were contaminated without any
trouble or delay. But SO far as
preventing publicity in the press is
concerned the law seems to be
failure.-Indianapolis Journal.
If electrocution can be made a
success let it stand. But we fear
it cannot. Experimenting with
human life is to be deprecated.
Hanging might have been made
uniformly successful with half the
effort that has been applied in
learning to shock a man to death
without roasting him at the same
time.-Buffalo Express.
deterioration having leen tested
again in New York and four MUIR
derers being instantaneously put to
death the electric companies may
concede point and admit that the
product of their dynamo is not alto
gether a simple, harmless fluid
which is useful only as a motor or
lighter. Let the law take it's
course.-Washington Star.
Evidently the electrical process
of killing is more humane than
hanging, although it is barbarous
enough, heaven knows. Capital
punishment is hideous and an
awful thing and it seems safe
prediction that twenty-five years
hence it will not be practiced in
any form by any people pretending
to Observation-Disclosures SEN
tinel.
For some unaccountable reason
the new law of New York forbids,
the presence of representatives of
the press at the executions. The
consequence of this usually is that
all sorts of contradictory stories
get into print. Nearly year has
elapsed since the execution of
Kemmler at Auburn and to-day
lSthe public does not know whether
he passed away painlessly or was
tortured tn death.-Wheeling Tele-
gram.
It is curious inconsistency in
the new law regulating capital pun.

Protectionist papers are still rejoic-
ing over the cheapness of sugar and
are landing the Mckinley law TO the
seventh heaven for the money it is
saving the people on their sugar. The
New York Tribune says; THE differ
ence of more than two cents per pound
in cost means that more than 1858, 000,-
900 has been saved TO consumers in this
country by single clause of the new
tariff. This Is not far from 81 for
every man, woman and child, and there
Is scarcely any other product Of which
the consumption per head of the work.
ing population approaches more closely
that Of the wealthy"
The refrain TO every song which the
protectionists sing is that British free
trade" means ruin to the country; yet
now they never weary Of praising the
Mckinley law for its cheapeninP effect
at the one important point where it
gives us British free trade" absolute
and unauthorized. Do they think to
"float" the high protective features Of
the new law by continually harping
upon the one bright spot of free trade"
in 1t? Their argument now seems to
be, "Protection is great thing-when
you take it Off" just MS certain small
boy once defined salt as 1.-THE thing
what makes food taste bad when you

ABOUT WAGES,

How wages nave uison in England Our
Wages Under Protection Have Conc
Down In Some rlhCcN-A CuBO For Pro-
tCctionist Lying.
That wages in general are lower In
England than in the United States Is n
we'll known fact; but 1t Is one which
gives our protccttonists occasion for
much downright lying They pretend
that it Ia the syStem Of "British free
trade" which has made wages lower in
England than here; whereas the fact is
that wages have not been made lower
in England at all, but have constantly
tended upward since England adopted
her present policy.
A recent session OF the Royal COM
mission of Labor In London was de-
voted to an examination into tho con-
dition OF labor in the cotton spinning
and weaving industry. Among the
many witnesses examined was Mr..
Albert Simpson, of Preston, n cotton
spinner, cotton manufacturers and East
India merchant, who said that during
the last thirty five years the wages Of
cotton operatives had increased from
80 w Wv lNl ttllbs, tHhi hh iilS Suliit hlihN
n fall in tho price Of commodities had
taken place.
There IL doubtless much poverty
among the working classes in England,
but the above statement does not look
Ms II "British free trade" had any part
In causing that poverty. 1t is not
enough for our protcctionists to point
out that wages In England are low; the
decisive fact Is that wages there arc
becoming higher,
But how is 1t with us? Wages have
gone up here to some extent in thirty
years, but not SO much ms tho wages
OF the English cotton spinnors and
woavers just referred to; and In some
states, whore protected industries are
most humorous, wages have actually
gone down, Here, for example,, are
the wages in the chief industries of
Massachusetts in 1880 and 1850, rs given
by Carroll d. Wright in his report for
1883 as labor commissioner for the state
