Tonsorinl Artists From Pittsburgh to Visit
Their Wheeling Brethren.
There will be a big time among the
BARRIERS next Sunday. On that day a
delegation OF two hundred tonsorial ar
lists is expected to arrive. Arrange
ments have been made to feed and en-
terrain them at Benwood junction. The
Pittsburgh BARRIERS want to organize
those OF Wheeling, and will bring some
of their best arguments to bear on
them. The Pittsburghers will bring
their crack base ball club along, and
threaten to wipe upt ground with the
Benwood nine, with which they are to
play.
a good many BARRIERS think an organ
ization among the knights of the razor
is badly needed. Some time ago an
early closing movement was set on foot
and lasted just about three days. Then
one man kept open Il little longer, his
nearest competitor did the same the
next day, and in a remarkably short
period the shops remained open the
usual length OF time. Tho master bar
bers' employees are wondering what ar
engagements for a holiday on the Fourth
of July the bosses will make. Some arc
willing to give whole dav, others are
willing to grant a half, but there are
one or two who would like to work until
evening, One man on the South Side
has expressed his intention to keep
open the whole day. In that case,
other BARRIERS may follow suit, and tbr
employees will not spend very pleasant
Fourth. Hence the crv for an orpani-
cation, which will obviateg these diff
entities

no question that now that the INTEIsnI-
dENcER has advanced the suggestion,
other towns, particularly Charleston
and Parkersburg, will want the exhibit.
But Wheeling, from her commanding
position, can secure it if she takes time
by the forelocki and takes, the steps at
once to sccureeit. That it would be rs
good a thing for the city as for the State
at large is apparent. a little en-
sired end, & and give Wheeling
a constant ATTRACTION for visitors
and a permanent advertisement as the
centre OF West Virginia interest, as she
is now the leader of West Virginia en-
terprise and progress:
The only question is, does the city
andi she willing TO make the needed
effort to secure it when it is within her
reach?

This yell, heard on the streets in the

the new class at the Linsly. The boys
OF '92 are no longer juniors, and they
exhibited their citation at being freed
from their letters by sercnading the

elected officers of the cadet battalion,
entertained the members OF the class
OF '92 at banquet at his fathers

Offered-Flening's Brother here.
Yesterday Capt. b. B. Dovener, coun-
sci for Late Woodson, held on charge
OF causing the death of Thomas Elem
ing, waived preliminary hearing be-
fore Squire Phillips, and Woodson's
commitment was made, to hold him I'M
til the next term of the Circuit Court.
The Justice cannot admit Woodson to
bail, but Capt. DoYener told an INTEL
LIGENcER reporter yesterday afternoon
that as soon as the testimony. before
sthes Coroner is written out by the stem
ographer, he will make an application
to the Circuit Court to have Woodson
admitted to bail.
Woodson takes his situation very
hard on account of his mother and his
wife and child, who are at Cincinnati.
They are dependent on him, and he has
been sending his wages to them weekly.
Monday morning after he put Fleming
out of the saloon he waited, instead of
retiring at his usual hour, to get u
money order to send to his wife. He
had sent it off and Just gone to bee
when the officers called at his room.
A friend OF Woodson's said last night
that he was very indignant over sem
sational telegram sent from here by
some irresponsible scribbler and
printed in yesterdays Pittsburgh Cone
pssfsn FGs saying Woo 9t, had
mug. He proposes to investigate the
origin of this false report.
The statement that Fleming was the
only son of his parents was mistake.
He has two brothers. One of them ar.
rived here yesterday from Toledo to take
the dead MANS remains there for burial.

II seems to be hard matter TO find
out just how matters do stand in Rus
STA as regards that country's grain
crop. Reports have been TO the effect
that it was short, and that millions
were starving, but writer in the
November North american Rerieao says
this is not true He claims TO have
recently made a trip through the dis
tricts most affected and says that
while there are crop losses, there is no
general distress nor prospect of i'm
mediate starvation. He claims that
the order forbidding the expectation
of grain was military move, rather
than from an economic standpoint. it
being TO prevent spectators from
forcing the government into paying
extrayagant prices in districts where
they are moving troops. There is a
good deal of plausibility TO this state
ment, whether there is any founia-
ton for it or not.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

The recent hangings of The murder
ers, Rose and Goheen. has caused con-
siderable discussion through the press
of the state as TO whether hanging
should be abolished or not, and both
sides have ably presented their reasons
for and against. The FREE PRESS be-
ieves that the death penalty should
be retained, but also believes that a
less barbarous method might be
dlyesed in executing it, than by hang
ing. Where a man has deliberately
committed murder, received a fair
trial and is convicted, he should pay
the penalty for the same with his life.
We believe, however, that imprison-
ment for life is really more terrible
punishment, and yet the death SEN
tence was never pronounced upon a
criminal that he, or his friends for
him, did not make an effort to secure
a communication of the sentence to
life imprisonment. In the majority
OF cases life imprisonment means but
few years of confinement, and their
freedom comes. If the criminal who
deserves the full measure of the law,
could be shut up and kept there, it
would present the question in a diff
ferent phase. But to secure this we
would be obliged to take away the
pardoning power, and while this
would abolish an evil in one direc-
tion, it would Great a hardship in an
other. There are somany cases where
a pardon should be granted that it
would not do to shut that right off en-
tirely.
1t has been urged that instances
like the hanging of Rose have infiu-
ence in causing juries, where they be-
lieve the prisoner guilty, of bringing
in an opposition verdict. Thismay be
true in some instances, probably is,
but it only shows that we should look
around for less barbarous method of
carrying out the law. The last cases
of execution by electricity in New
York seem to have been successful.
and electricity may open up way to
escape the revolving scenes that often
occur at hangings.

BELIEVE IN THE DEATH PENALTY

The hanging of Rose and Goheen,
called out many expressions in regard
to the death penalty, from citizens of
the state. A few days ago the New
Ulm RelCieao published a number gath
cred from prominent persors around
the state, among which were the fol-
lowing from well known Mankato
citizens:
Judge NJ. j. Severance: Il believe
in the right OF society through the
forms OF the law TO infiict the death
penalty for wilful murder, when the
proof of guilt is clear and satisfactory.
1 know OF no other means that the
innocent can employ TO protect their
right to live. | think that one who
wllfully preyS on human life should
forfeit his own. In 1862 thirty eight
Indians were hung at Mankato for the
murder of citizens Of New Ulm and
that vicinity, and in a humble way |
helped 10 do ii. | sincerely hope that
| shall not be called upon either here
or hereafter TO apologize TO those lousy
bruteS for the part l took in that eX-
hibiUion. You say that the hanging
OF Rose at Redwood few days since
for the murder Of Moses Lufkin has
created in your vicinity considerable
opposition TO punishment by death.
l assume that Rose was guilty, ii he
was not. his lot was certainly d hard
one. 1t is true that the rope broke at
the execution of Rose and let him fall
TO the ground. This fact seems to
have aroused for him d great deal OF
sympathy, many Surmising that he
suffered more than he would mad the
rope not parted. 1t is barely possible
that this is so. and l feel very sure
that Moses Lufkin suffered a great
deal more when Rose sent rifle ball
crushing through his body than he
would have suffered had Rose let him
entirely alone. This is question
that ought TO be answered correctly
before long: Who is the most enti-
tied TO sympathy. the murderer or the
murdered'?"
Hon. Daniel Buck: Il have been
sick for several days and unable TO
answer your inquiry as to ny views
upon the subject of capital punish
ment." | have always been OF the
opinion that whoever wilfGlly and
maliciously and without proyOcdtion
kills another person shall be punished
with death. If there is any other
reasonable and safe remedy against
wilful murder | have never found IL
out. To hang man upon circum-
stancial evidence or where there may
be some doubt of his guilt is another
question and | might think 1T better
TO imprison for life. But wicked,
malicious, deliberate murder should
be punished with death. and the cry
of barbariSm, that sometimes is put
forth with such earneStness against
such penalty, is too often but morbid
sentimentality. | take no stock in
the many professions of innocence
upon the scaffold, for whoever will de-
liberately murder, will deliberately
lie.

SOME how or other the Democrats
do not like the reciprocity scheme.
Whether they see in it a movement
that will defeat their free trade plans
or not, we can not say, but they don't
like it and are predicting all sorts of
failures for it,. The latest we note is
in the Minneapolis Times TO the effect
that what we gain in trade from the
South American countries, we will
lose in our trade with England, be-
cause England must trade with them
to get gold to pay US. Now, why the
United States cannot work up this
trade and secure the gold direct, the
Times does not explain, probably for
the good reason that it would upset
its other theories.

CHILL having refused an explanation
in regard to the recent outrages upon
American sailors, it is probable that
an informal demand for immediate
assurance of proper action on the
part of the CHILEAN government viii
be made, and if refused, Minister
Egan will be recalled. In New York
a feeling exists among many mer-
chants interested in CHILEAN trade,
that the present government, flushed
with its last victory, would Willingly
plunge into war with the United
States, but what it would expect to
gain by such a course is a mystery.

OK Saturday, Minister Phelps gave
dinner TO leading notables at the
German capital, at which he served
corn bread and bacon. His guests
were delighted with the bread. DIR.
Miguel, the Minister of Finance, said
that hereafter corn bread should be
included among the supplies for his
table, and more important yet, that
the German duties ON Indian corn
should be removed and American
corn bread fed TO the German army,
which viii render Germany independ-
ent of Russian rye This dinner may
yet prove very important in its results

THE free silver Democrats try to
strengthen their position by saying
that the Republicans, by their silver
bill of July, 1890, have provided for
cheap money based on silver. But
they forget that the silver certificate
is based upon a dollars worth of sill
yer, while the coined dollar is not, and
the Republicans put an end to the
outgoing of so many 75-eent dollars.

THEY have d big sensation on their
hands in Wisconsin, over what are
known as the State treasury suits.
Ex-Congressman La Toilette, of Mad
ison, who is d brother-in-law of the
judge before whom the cases are COM
ing up, says that Senator Sawyer, who
is one of the bondsmen for eX-Treasu-
Ter Harshaw, offered him sum of
money if he could get the judge TO
render favorable decision for the
defendants. On the other hand Sem
ator Sawyer states that they wanted
Madison lawyer for the purpose of
looking up the records, and he was in
structed to retain LaFollette Ac-
cordingly they met by appointment,
and Sawyer offered the eX-Congress-
man retainer of $500, whereupon La
Toilette informed him that being
brotber-in-law of the Judge. and as
the cases were being more or less of a
political nature, he thought it best to
keep clear Of the matter altogether
The senator states that until then he
did not know of the relationship be
tween LaFollette and the Judge, and
of course it would not be well unde
the circumstances for him TO mix in
