REPORTERS SAW HIM DIE.

The action of the New York legisla-
ture in permitting the presence of re-
pOrters at electrocutlons is proper both
because the public have a right to know
tho sentence was carried out, and the
publicity given to the details of such
events adds immensely to their power
as crime Misunderstanding Dis
patch.
Now that the revision of the electrical
execution law has been wisely begun by
repeating the press gag section, why
should not there be restored the old
method of naming certain day for the
inflictiOn of the death penalty, and thus
dIvorclng the ultimate exercise of the
power of the state from cruel doubt in
volving moral torture?-New York Re-
cOrder.
To say that the execution at Sing
Sing yesterday was the first execution
by electricity of the success of which
the people have had an opportunity to
judge from reports made by eye wit
neSSeS is to comment sufficiently upon
the mOnstrous folly of that provision of
the law which was repealed last week.
and which prohibited any report or ali
execution by electricity beyond mere
mention of the fact that the execution
had occurred.-New York Times. r. Il
The absurd and unnecessary mask of
secrecy having been removed. the pub
lie are now able TO Judge, from autiien-
tic information, whether execution by
electricity is humane and compara-
lively painless. Reports indicate that
the convict put TO death yesterday was
tortured barbarously. So far, there
fore, the open evidence is against the
electrical method 1t is said that bill
will be at once introduced to repeal the
electrical execution act.-New York

FAVOR LIVINGSTON.

The appointment of Hon. Walter II. San
born to the circuit ju6geship creates q va
cancy III the board of aldermen of this CITY.
This vacancy must be flied at the next meet
ing of the board, and yesterday number of
names have been mentioned in connection
with the position. In the Sevneth ward it is
not question of politics. but rather who is
the best man and who will 40 the most good
for the ward. Among the prominent and
well known citizens of the Seventh ward
there IS no one who stands higher than
Crawford Livingston. He is and always has
been intensely loyal to st. Paul, and has al
ways been at ihe.front in every movement that
has been started in the interests of the CITY,
Yesterday canvass was made of the ward
and many OF the residents were interviewed
i'll regard TO the matter. and. with single ex-
ceptlon. every man approached, without re-
gard to politics, expressed preference for
Mr.. Livingston as the man to succeed Aid
Sanborn. The election of a man of Mr.. Liy-
ingston's known standing and character
would inspire renewed confidence in the ex-
celient board of aldermen which the city
now possesses.

BOIES AT DENVER.

AS the honored guest at the Greystone
club banquet last evening Gov. Boies
acquitted himself well. His statement
of the fundamental principle of the
Democratic creed was admirable, and
his definition of the supreme issue at
the present time was as clear and strong
as could be deSlred.-Chicago Herald.
Gov. BoieS' idea of tariff for rev.
enue only is one which lets in all raw
materials free and which levies on
manufactured goods duties sufficient to
meet the revenue requirements of the
government. Such tariff would he eX-
tremely popular in New England, but
it would not be one ''for revenue only"
as Gov. Boies admits. Hence he should
not use the phrase.-Chicago Tribune.
Perhaps Denver, the center of the sill
yer kingdom, was not the most appro-
pirate place for the PRONUNCIATION of a
platform into which the silverplatfOrm
entered not at all; but Gov. Boise must
be permitted to be the architect of his
own boom. Tariff reform was the bur
den of his song. Grover Cleveland
himself never spoke with more solemn
sense of ''coDsecration" to the One Idea
than did this new apostle of the West.

HELP STILL NEEDED.

The demand for farm laborers in

state that it is a grave and perpIexiug
problem with the farmers how they
shall obtain the requisite help to take
care of the wheat not threshed and pro-
vide for the new crop. The Grand
Forks Herald regards it as very mod
crate estimate that the Red River VALLEY
will require 5000, the James valley
1000, and the Mississippi slope 500.
From 5000 to 10000 can evidently find
employment on the farms all the season
after the ground begins to thaw. The

a TOUCH OFPoLITIC3.
Proposed Creation of a New Par
tiSan Office.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-ln the SEN
ate today there was a preliminary
question sprung on motion that when
the senate adjourn it be to meet Mon
day. The motion was agreed to. Sew
erai bills were reported and put on the
calendar.
The senate having taken up bills on
the calendar, Senator Vest asked that
the bill to provide for the erection of.
poStoftlces in cities where the receipts
exceeded $4,000 per annum be made a
special order for Monday week, and it
was SO ordered.
When the consideration of the printing
bill was resumed, MIR. Call (Florida)
moved to strike out the appropriation
for printing eulogieS of senators and
members. ciiaracteriZing this as a per-
fectiy useless outlay of money. but his
proposition was voted down without a
division.
MIR. German moved to strike out the
section making the superintendent of
documents presidential Office and con-
fiding to him the distribution of all pub
lie documents. In support of his amend
ment Mr.. German referred to the polit-
zeal possibilities of the position. The
man having charge of the distribution
of documents would have possession of
the private lists of senators and MEM
bers, and the authority thus given him
would become powerful factor in his
hands, and would create new depart
ment which would grow. He believed
the retention of provision in the bill
would endanger its passage elsewhere.
Mr.. Henderson and Mr.. Hawley vigor-
ouSly opposed Mr.. Germans PROPOSE
ton.
Mr.. Cockrell said this proposed
document superintendent. approved
by the president, was required
to keep the record of adj
dresses of every man, woman or child
to whom public document was sent.
He did not want to put that power i'm
the hands of any party; it was a aan-
gerOus power liable to be prOstituted.
1t would be worth millions of dollars in
hotly contested campaign, and ends
of dollars to any advertising agency. He
was unwilling to place it in the hands
of any man.
Mr.. Paddock secured unanimous con-
sent to making his pure food bill the
DeXt order after the disposition of the
printing bill. An effort to name time
for taking vote on the printing bill
failed, and at 4:45 D. IN. the senate adj
jOurned until Monday.

THE FAIR UNDER FIRE.

Let the committee on appropriations
enter on its assigned task without delay
nor cease its investigations until moth
ing be left for further discovery. Chi
cago welcomes investigation by a COM
mittee of the house or by the whole
body of congress, and invites dispatch
and vigor iii its prosecutiOn.-Ch
Herald
The investigation asked for in the
Henderson resolution, which has Just
been sent to the committee on appropri-
atiOnS, is specifically aimed at the man
agement of the national commission.
Indeed, the author of the resolution
took particular pains 10 say so on the
floor of the house. If the local manage
ment is also included in the investiga-
ton, such is admittedly perfunctory and
unnecessary News.
Viewed in its proper light the attitude
of Congressman Henderson is not I'M
friendly to the fair. He makes full ac-
acknowledgement of the important, the
dominant, part Chicago has borne in the
great undertaking. Bnt since there
have been limitations of extravaganza
done by the national commission he
would have official investigation by
disinterested committee. = Chicago
Times.
Mr.. Henderson's personal spite over
reached itself. He showed intense ma
lignity, an ungOyernable animOSity to
Davis as an individual. 1t was perfectly
evident that he had grudge of some
kind, and was not actuated by regard
for the public interest. He was so very
full of malice that no concealment was
possible. Time will probably bring to
light the cause of this animosity.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.
AS to the fair per Sc, it has conquered
every feeling of hostility; but the man.
agement must expect, and should invite,
continuous scrutiny. 1t does look, at
this distance, as if some of the higher
dIgnitaries were in the receipt of very
liberal salaries. Still, they are entitled
to hearing in advance of criticism !;
and the country will rejoice if they can
convince its representatives that the
labor which they are doing is not dis
proportional to the hire.-PhiIadelphia

that there will be considerable Demo
cratic opposition from the cane sugar
districts of the South, and possibly from
the beet sugar districts of the West.
The resolution, which was referred to
the ways and means committee, declares
that since July /. 1891, the producers
of sugar have filed claims for bounty
under the bill amounting to many mil
lions OF dollars, for which warrants
upon the treasury have been or are
about to be drawn, thus imposing
grievous burdens upon the taxpayers
of the country. The resolution further
cites the decision of the supreme court
of the United States by Justice Miller

citizens and with the other to bestow it

THE COOPER UNION PROTEST.

THE COOPER UNION PROTEST.
The meeting last night at Cooper
Union, New York, to protest against
the early call for Democratic conven-
ton was largely attended. Perhaps it
eXcelled more in numbers than in Spe-
cial political prominence of those pres
ent. That it included large percent
age of what is known as the InGepend
ent or Mugwump vote is beyond cavil.
Still, the resolutions passed were ten.-
perate in tone. In view of what they claim
is widespread dissatisfaction with the
action of the state Democratic committee
the resolutions demand reconsideration
OF the call for state convention on Feb.
%, and the naming of date some
months later. With this end in view a
committee of fifty was appointed to wait
on the state central committee and labor
with them in behalf of such reconsider
ation
Such is the practical result of meet
ing in New York of purely local char
aeter and whose influence should not be
felt outside of the state of New York.
1t should he remembered that in this
local dissention no rights are lost or
jeOpardiZed belonging to the national
convention which will meet June q at
Chicago. Summed up it signifies this:
New York has two candidates for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
GROVER CLEVELAND and Senator
DAVID 3. HILL. Each has strong fol-
lowing. 1t need surprise no one to hear
of another monster meeting held in the
exclusive interest of the latter. and
that, too, at an early date. That the ac-
ton of the committee appointed last
evening will have any visible effect
upon the state central committee is to
be doubted. In these days of earnest
political strategy and tireless scheming
men have no tine or disposition to turn
back from step once taken. and espe-
cially when that backward step is solely
in the interest of rival candidate. To
the Chicago convention only can an ap-
peal lie i'll this case, and it is certain
that between June and November the
Democratic party will be found in the
field with an invincible candidate, and
prepared to wage national contest
with ten times the vigor manifested in
the present New York play for position.
