Jose Ma. Martin, stand up. Jose Ma
Martin, you have been indicted, tried and
convicted by jury of your countrymen,
OF the crime Of murder, and the Court is
now about to pass upon you the dread
sentence OF the law. AS a usual thing,
Jose Maria Martin, it is a painful duty for
the Judge of Court of Justice to pro-
nounce upon human being the sentence
of death. There is something horrible
about it and the mind of the Court natIi-
rally revolts from the performance of
such duty. Happily, however, your
case is relieved of all such unpleasant
features, and the Court takes positive de-
light in sentencing you to death.
You are young man, Jose Maria Mar
tin apparently of good physical constitu-
ton and robust health. Ordinarily you
might have looked forward to many years
Of life and the Court has no doubt you
have, and have expected to die at a green
old age; but you are about to be cut off in
consequence of your own act. Jose Maria
Martin, it is now the spring time; in a lit
tie while the grass will be springing up
green in these beautiful valleys, and on
these broad mesas and mountain sides
flowers will be blooming; birds will be
singing their sweet carols, and Nature
Will Uc ptlUClllS Oh utI HlOSU gorgeous ttLtt
attractive robes, and life will be pleasant
and men will want to stay, but none Of
this is for you, Jose Maria Martin, the
flowers will not bloom for you Jose Maria
Martin, the birds will not carol for you,
Jose Maria Martin; when these things
come to gladden. the senses of men, you
will be occupying a space about six by
two beneath the sod, the green grass and
those beautiful flowers will be growing
about your lowly head. .""
The sentence OF the Court is that you be
taken from this place to the County jail;
that you be kept there, safely and secure
ly confined, in the custody of the sheriff
until the day appointed for execution. Be
very careful, Mr.. Sheriff, that he have no
opportunity to escape and that you have
him at the appointed place at the appointed
time. That you be SO kept, Jose Maria
Martin, until-Mr Clerk, on what day of
the month does Friday about two weeks
from this time come? March 22nd, your
honor Very well, until Friday the 22nd
day of March, when you will be taken by
the sheriff from your place of confinement
to some safe and convenient spot within
the County; that is in your discretion Mi.
Sheriff, you are only confined to the limits
of the County. and that you are to be
hanged by the neck until you are dead
and the Court was about to add Jose Maria
Martin may God have mercy ON your
soul" but the Court will not assume the
responsibility of asking an All Wise Pro
violence to do that which a jury OF your
peers has refused to do. The Lord could
not have mercy on your soul. However,
if you affect any religious belief, or are
connected with any religious organization
it might be well for you to send for your
priest or minister and get from hm-well
such consolation as you can, but the
Court advises you toplace no reliance up
on anything of that kind. Mr.. Sheriff

Concerning Capital Punishment.

HOW JUDGE IN THE WILD AND WOODY
WEST PASSED SENTENCE OF DEATH.
To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Cap
ital punishment, thank fortune, is a thing
of the past in Maine, and probably Justice
is as well served as in the days of old.
We are at all events saved from the
humiliation Of seeing condemned crimi-
nails lionized, as it were, the disgusting
sympathy Of the tender hearted, the tears
of sentimental ladies, and our judges are
relieved from what must be duty disa-
greeable in the extreme, to say nothing of
the sheriff and his little affair.
The following, copied from the court
records of New Mexico, occurred last year
and is in sharp contrast to that with which
we are familiar, and if not characteristic
of the wild and woody West is at least
unique. Yours, Etc, Down EASTER.

While some Of our Democratic contem-
poraries seem lost in admiration of Lord
Salisbury's diplomatic ability and the
strength of the English cause, the clear
headed London Star comments like this
on the Behring Sea correspondence:
The dispatches do not give Lord Sal
isbury the better of it. He has not been
consistent. Mr.. Blaine has. The Amer
leans have behaved as if they genuinely
desired to protect the seals. Lord Sails
bury has behaved as though he was afraid
of offending the Canadians, whose only
desire is to catch seals''

be no war with Great Britain, and no one

was as threatening as the attitude of Presi-

The great world has been spinning
along quite briskly the past twelve
months. Many things have happened
20 the world at large, and few to us
rs individuals-which last are in our
ayes the most important of all the
events of the year. The trains of the
various Burlington Route lines have
oeen spinning along during the year
ON the ringing steel rails--seven thou
sand miles of them-carrying on all
sorts OF pleasant or sad journeys some
millions of people, in and out of Chi
cago, Peoria, St. Louis, Kansas Citv.
Atchison, St. Joseph, Omaha, Lincoln,
Denver, Cheyenne, Deadwood, Mime
apolis and St. Paul, and the hundreds
of cities and towns between. TO the
people OF the Northwest, our friends
and patrons, we say: May the worlds
OF your individual lives spin merrily
and softly during 1893; and if you want
to take spin for pleasure, buy your
tickets via the Burlington Route-it
goes everywhere. Call on your home

that its enemies have enough money
