minutes Mr.. Parnell was escorted 10 the
presidents platform. where he replied to
remarks Of the Lieutenant-Governor a.
follows:
go Mr. President and Gentlemen OF the
Senate, Il return my heartfelt thanks Tor
the honor you have to-day done me ana

privilege of the floor of the Senate OF NIr-
gina. Public sentiment has already done

more today. The honor to address the

Mr. larne!l was by no means n ilucnt
speaker. He often hesitated for word.
In his brief remarks 10 the House he cor
rectcd himself two or three times.
The speech that Mr. Parnell made at
Mozart Hall that night was perhaps the
best that he made here. but it dealt moro
with the details Of the Irish situation at
that time. He left Richmond the next
morning.

The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1891-08-27

It is encouraging to note the fact that
killing by beheading and by hanging is be-
coming unpopular in Germany. The gov
eminent is now favOrably entertaining kill
ing by electricity as more humane meth
cd. AS the peoples sense of refinement
improves the vulgar and barbarous ways Of
dealing with society's untortunates become
unpopular. ElectrocutiOn is becoming more
popular than hanging because it is thought
less brutal. The latter method too will
pass away. What farce upon justice and
humanity is killing men for crime! Go into
the slums. Regard the social system of
towering greed. and ask what is society's
share in the crime that is committed. We
breed and inbred in criminal stock; we sur
round the babe, the boy, the girl. with such
influences as make impossible pure life.
and then we take the unfOrtunates who are
not chargeable with the blood in their veins,
nor for their surroundings. and kill them be-
cause they yield to the impulse of their
blood. and accept the education which we
give them. Shame on civilization that
mOcks the mighty Maker of all. by making
mock of his laws as applicable to mankind.
We treat the wild and domestic animals
with more consideration. There is nothing
in history. in ethics, in reason. in love. in
humanity to justify the taking of human
life. Out upon such a monstrous barbarism.
