The report that the Rock Islander
would come out last week as republican
paper, seems to have been substantially
correct, although no official announces
ment is made to that effect. In a column
article, however, it renounces the princi-
pies of the peoples party as enunciated
in the national platform lately adopted at
st. Louis. The leaders of the labor party
are termed disappointed Office seekers, ="
and in conclusion the paper commits it,
self to the support of Gov. Fifer's candi-
dscy. 1t is now in order for the Rock
lslander to haul down its sntiquated
heading as the champion of the laboring
and industrial classes and proclaim its
allegiance to Mckinley ism and protected
monopolies.

are considered simply slight cold. In nearly
every case they indicate the coming of Grip.

A Lady with an Opinion.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: You announce
IN your paper this morning that prepara-
lions are being made for the execution of
Charles Freeman. This gives the public
the opportunity to express an opinion
upon the subject of capital punishment.
1t is a question in the minds OF many,
# there should exist any law permitting
q Government to inflict the death pen
atty. While admitting the imperative
need society feels of enjoining penalties
1or the infraction of laws it has made for
IT'S own maintenance, they deny its right
20 take away that which it cannot restore.
Recognizing the fact that evil has ever
been more powerful than good, therefore
The need Of laws and their enforcement
1or the protection of the weak. They
maintain, while life once taken cannot be
restored, to deprive a convicted felon of
liberty is to intlict penalty which can
De remitted, should there at any time
arise the necessity for such remission.
1t is claimed that to be restrained of
liberty is, to the majority of mankind, a
greater punishment than the deprivation
Of life; and as the laws are not intended
so much as a punishment for the COM
mission of crime as protection to So
ciety, the ends of justice would be at
aimed by restraining the criminal from
all opportunities for the commission of
acts inimical to the peace and well-being
of the State.
Capital punishment does not act as a
preventive measure. There would be
no greater number of those crimes COM
lnitted for which it is the penalty if it
were abolished.
The knowledge that life is the forfeit
paid for depriying another human being
Of existence has never yet deferred the
murderer from the commission of his
awful crime. Death is not so dreadful to
contemplate as the ordinary person be-
lieves it TO be, while there is no one but
shudders at the thought of perpetual soli-
}ude. This is the punishment the evil
doer breads above all others. No future,
no present-nothing left of life but its
memories, and they should be pleasant
ones to enable one to endure existence.
Those memories cannot be agreeable ones
That malefactor carries into prison with
MIN.
If punishment is the first object in the
enforcement of the laws, there can be no
out labor; and it has this advantage-it
can be remitted, but who can restore the
vital spark when once it has been extin-
Guished?
If punishment is not the primary OBJ
iect, whence the necessity of depriving a
fellow being of the few short years allotted
% him? Capital punishment leaves no
hope Of reform-no opportunity for re-
pentance-and in aggravated cases proves
" holly inadequate; for how often is it
said of some offender that hanging is too
best-and there should be some way de-
Yised by which the majesty of the law
may be vindicated that will prove as eff
cacious as the taking away, by process of
law, that which is beyond the power of
The law to restore. Mrs. A. j. b.

OPIUM FIENDS ELIGIBLE.
a Peculiar Probate Contest Decided
by Judge Van Fleet.
\ Ruling of the Supreme Court Inter-
feres-Charles Shear Acknowl-
edges His Weakness.

Mrs. Mary A. Shear died recently leav-
ing an estate valued at $4,000, and the
cole heir was Charles II. Shear, her son.
Young Shear petitioned for letters of
administration over the estate, but was
met with an opposing claim on the part
OF Public Administrator Bronner. The
latter contested the young mans claim
Tor letters on the ground that he was in
competent to manage the estate.
The contest came up for hearing before
Superior Judge Van Fleet yesterday.
HE SMOKES OPIUM.
The Public Administrator was repre-
Eented by Major w. a. Gett and Hiram
w. Johnson, while young Shears coun-
sci was A. c. Hinkson. The contest of
3ronner was stated to rest on the fact
that the young man was addicted to the
use of opium and morphine, and was
mentally, as well as physically. unable to
intend to the duties required Of him in
managing the estate.
Shear was placed on the witness-stand.

young fellow with brilliant eyes and an
extremely nervous temperament. Under
oath, he admitted that he was addicted

chewed it. He denied, however, that he
was ''hypo"morphine fiend, and de-
MED that his arms bore the scars of the
hypodermic syringe.
1t was after considerable hesitation
that Shear made these denials, and the
manner in which Bronner's attorneys
pressed him, excited him considerably.
KEPT IN SOCIETY,"
When questioned regarding his asso-
ciates, Shear insisted that he mingled in
good society, and did not hob-nob with
other opium fiends or dissolute persons.
lie did his smoking at home and in the
Brown House, and only frequented
Chinatown when he wanted to purchase
the deadly drug. He claimed that he was
jockey by profession, and mentioned
several horsemen who had given him
employment.
No testimony was offered by the Pub
lie Administrator and his attorneys, they
being satisfied to rest the case on Shear S
statement.
Judge Van Fleet, however, decided
that under the recent ruling of the Su-
preme Court he could not deny the young
man the right to administer upon the
estate. Under the law an administrator
was always under the jurisdiction Of the
court. The petition of Shear was accord
ingly granted.
S. c. Tryon, A. G. Hoagland and Will
bur Smith were appointed appraisers OF
the estate.

The Brush-Campers Sentenced for Va
grancy by Judge Henry.
John Grozier and Louis Francis, the
two hard characters who were recently
captured in the brush near Freeport by
Constable Brissel, were brought before
Justice of the Peace Henry again yester-
day.
They were partially examined several
days ago on the charges of vagrancy pre-
ferred against them.
After hearing the testimony of Henry
Peters, who had been with the men in
their luxurious camp, Judge Henry
found them guilty and sentenced each of
them to twenty days Imprisonment in
the County Jail.
These are the men who were sus-
Dected of being implicated in the murder
of Watchman Howard at Rio Vista re-

He had something like $40 with him, he
says, when he entered the State Prison.
He expended all of this, except S. As,
during his incarceration for tobacco, un-

asked for the s. which is usually allowed
all departing prisoners by the State, but
Deputy Warden Hughes refused to give
him the money for the reason that John

could not collect the s., and Judge Henry
