\ OF FER CASE.

The state of Michigan finds itself in
a peculiar quandary in regard to the
man L.atimer who recently made his
escape from the state prison by poison
ing two of the guards. n of whom
died from the effects of the dose adj
ministered. Some years ago Michigan
abolished capital punishment. substitut-
ing Imprisonment for life as the punish
ment for murder. Latimer was serving
IA life sentence for the murder of his
mother under conditions of extreme
brutality, and is also believed to have
poisoned his father, who died under sus-
picious circumstances. His escape from
prison, made possible by the premedit-
ated poisoning OF the guards is of recent
Occurrence. as well as his subsequent
recapture. Being now confessedly
guilty of a new murder the state of
Michigan finds itself powerless to pun
ish him for the reason that il has already
exhausted its power OF punishment III
his case. by thu life commitment. 1t
follows therefore that while the state
must continue t. shelter. feed and clothe
him comfortabl3 during the remainder
Of his natural te. he alone of all other
inhabitants of that state enjoys the uni
que privilege Of numbering his fellow
beings at will without the possibility Of
being punished for such acts. Except
in self defense. or to prevent his escape.
no hand can be raised to take his life
legally. while he can continue his muir
ders indefinitely. The situation is SO
forcibly presented to the country. that it
will undoubtedly serve as a check to
other communities disposed to abolish
,capital punishment, and possibly cause
a repeal of the Michigan statute.

of New York, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton were hauled over the Goals in
fine shape in the Senate yesterday,
when Senator PETERS resolution of
inquiry regarding their persistent
refusal to pay checks of their depos-
itors IN cash came up for discussion
An attempt was made to sandbag
the inquiry by referring it to the
Finance committee, where it would
sleep and sleep of eternal death, but
Senators Manderson, Wolcott, Kyle
and Hill made very vigorous pro
test against reference, which com
PEELED those ardent defenders of the
national banks, Senators Hoar, Nc
Pherson, Washburn and Voorhees,,
to cry for mercy. They admit that
the national bankers of the cities
named are gnilty of violating the law,
bnt claim that this course was ren
dered necessary by the existing finan-
cial situation, and that strict
enforcement OF the provisions of the
national banking act would compel
all the banks of New York to go in
to the hands of receivers, to the great
injury of the business interests of the
country.
Undoubtedly it would be public
calamity if the banks of the princi-
pal financial centers of the East
should be compelled to close their
doors because of their inability to
meet their obligations, but law is law,
ana if the bankers of those cities
may be permitted to do as they
please why should not the bankers
OF other cities and towns enjoy like
privileges?
Why should Congress, which is
chosen to represent the country, per
NIT the national bankers of Eastern
cities to do as they please about
obeying the law under which their
concerns are organized, or the secre-
tary of the treasury to violate the
plainest mandate of the Sherman law.
requiring the monthly purchases of
silver bullion, while the laws which
bear with special severity upon the
masses are enforced in the strictest
possible manner?
Is there anything in the constitu-
ton or statutes of the United States
which lays down one rule of conduct
for national bankers and another for
the plain people of the country?
If it is the will of Congress that
the national bankers of New York.
Philadelphia and Boston shall be
permitted to violate the law with alb
solute impunity, why should not the
people know it? The same Treasury
department which permits favored
bankers to do as they please regard
less of the law never misses an op-
portunity to strike down silver by
false constructions and technical in
terpretations of statutes that were
passed for the purpose of sustaining
silver.
We hope that the supporters OF bi-
metalism will let no opportunity pass
TO expose the favoritism which has
SO long been practiced in behalf of
the national banks These institu-
tions, with few exceptions in the
silver producing section of the conn
try, have been the most bigoted and
powerful opponents of bimetallism
that the people have had to contend
with for the last twenty years. 1t
may not be possible to convert them
to the cause of honest money, but it |
certainly should be feasible to com
pei them to live up to the law under
which their banks are organized
