CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.


The Governor has commuted but one
sentence to death, and that only after iu-
dicial reconsideration. He calls attention
to the powerful pressure brought to bear
to secure pardons for murderers and to
abuse heaped upon him for refusal. He
has prepared statistics of capital crime in
all but Sacramento and San Francisco
counties. These show that from 1850 to
1860 the executions for murder in the first
degree were 100 per cent. of the conyic-
tions; 1860 to 1870, 70 per cent; 1870 to
1850, 29 per cent; 1880 to 1890, 10 per cent.
The number of life sentences in the first
period We're none; in the second, Z per
cent of the convictions; in the third. 4g
per cent; and in the fourth, 20 per cent;
the percentage not accounted for being
for combinations, suicides, escapes.
awaiting execution, etc. About Is per
cent. of the number of those sentenced to
death have had their sentences cominuted
by the various Governors to imprison-
ment for life. He says it would seem to
be almost conclusive that the verdicts of
juries in murder cases indicate that the
minds of the people have changed, and

The Adjutant- General has most aptly
SAID that the National Guard of this
Slate VIII compare tavorably with any
military organization in the country in
eIuclency and discipline. The officers
ana men are from our best representative
citizens. They lay aside, for the time be-
lAR' Vnelr private affairs, and devote
much VaIua able time III periecting them
serves IN the duties of soldiers. They
nave no return III anything that does not
come TO all, and their patriotism is
worthy OF the kindest consideration. 1t
IS mistake to assume that these duties
are assumed for purposes of social enjoy
I ment; they are too onerous and exacting,
require too much valuable time to be con-
sloered other than as a high duty they
owe TO the state. The State eXacts OF the
guardsman the exposure OF his life in
Times OF war and in defense of the pub
lie peace, and that he shall lay aside for
the Time his private interests; and totally
independent OF his comfort of wishes,
claims of him, at its discretion, services
involving not only great personal but
neaVy pecunIary sacrifices" In this
fully concur.
The State has during the last fifteen
years given more or less military train
ing TO over 10000 young men, who could
IN cases OF emergency perform duty for
the state or Nation.
| take pleasure in commenting the
efficient, faithful and conscientious man
ner III which the Adjutant-General has
managed the fund appropriated by the
last Legislature for this department. l
can also speak in the highest terms of
praise of the officers and men composing
the National Guard OF the State, and earn
estly recommend that appropriations be
made to meet all necessary expenses.

Some of these, you will observe, amount
to more than 81, 900. When the taxpayer
examines the general appropriation bill
he naturally supposes that each institu-
ton costs the State the amount therein
appropriated.
