The Detroit Tribune urges the pas
sage of bill now before the Michigan
Legislature to restore capital punish
ment in that State. and thinks ait would
be well to make the penalty for murder
In the first degree both death by hang
ing and imprisonment for life, as at
present, leaving the sentence to the dis
erection of the judge" The Journal is
decidedly of the opinion that the same
rule should prevail in this State. Under
the present law, which makes the pen
atty for murder hanging or imprison-
ment for life and gives the jury the
right to decide which penalty shall be
imposed. hanging has become practically
obsolete in Indiana. All murderers who
are convicted, and not half as many are
convicted as ought to be, are sentenced
To imprisonment for life, with every
prospect of a new trial or a pardon be-
fore many years have passed. The re-
suit is a steady increase of h0micidal
crime, with every now and then lynch
ing as a protest against the inefficient
enforcement of law. The Journal be-
lieves that the average judge has more
nerve and higher sense of duty than
the average jury, and that for this rea-
son it would be better that the penalty
for murder should be fixed by the judge
rather than by the jury. AS to the re-
suit of the abolition of capital punish
ment in Michigan. the Tribune says:
Whatever the influence of the abolition
of the death penalty it has not been mani
tested in the decrease OF the crime OF hOmi-
eide 1t IL fair to presume that the lessen
ing of the penalty has. IN fact. been one of
the causes of the frlghtfnl prevalence of
murder. Ii there is anything IN the punt
tive theory at ell this must be true. for the
deterrent effect of punishment is exactly
prOpOrtionate to it's certainty and it's se-
verify. What is wanted nova
days are liberal doses of old-fashioned pun
tive Justice. Put the criminal classes in
fear of the law-let the Callows dangle be-
fore the eyes of the murderer. Do not set
aside the immutable laws of nature for the
theories of soft hearted criminologists.

1T is not true that any considerable
number of Republican papers have, as
an alleged independent paper in this
city says, opposed the present pension
system or the general enforcement of
the pension laws. After the passage of
the Mexican service pension law. in 1886.
which Mr.. Cleveland approved, the Re-
publican party pledged itself to some-
thing like as liberal legislation for the
veterans of the Union army as was be-
slowed upon the Mexican survivors.
The pension act Of 1890 was the result.
but il is not as sweeping as the Mexican
act. which Mr.. Cleveland approved, and
concerning which every mugwump and
professedly independent paper is silent.
All Republican papers will sustain any
fair proposition TO scrutinize the PEN
sion rolls. They do not believe in maxi
ing charges as 20 frauds IN the pension
rolls without presenting some sort of
evidence.

These contradictory statements, are

ator Voorhees, or Postmaster general
Bissell, one or both, are guilty of false
hood or equivocation. 1t may be true
in literal sense, as stated by the Post
master general, that che had not been
informed of the removal of any of the old
carrier force by Mr.. Donham," because
Donham's action amounted to nothing,
but the Postmaster general knew per.
fectly we'll that Donham had tried to
remove tho carriers and had issued an
order to that effect. Senator Voorhees,
says the Postmaster general ''sustains
Donham at every point" including the
removal of the letter carriers, while the
Postmaster general says he could not
approve of that act because he never
heard of it. There is a lie out some
where.
