CRITICISlNG THE GALLOWS
DIR Tracy Finds Fault With the New
Ssif-HanglnG Contrivance.

DIR Tracy Finds Fault With the New
Sef-HangtnE Contrivance.
DR. A. w. Tracy of the state board of
charities, at the meeting at the capitol
yesterday, strongly objected to the use of
the automatic hanging apparatus soon to
be put in operation at the state prison.
He objects to it as less humane than other
methods in that the condemned man is
virtually made to commit suicide.
Should the convict feel conscientiously
that this mode of executing the law EN-
bodied a certain possible element of sui
eide and refuse to add what he may hon
estly consider another crime to those fol
which he is about to suffer death, would
he not be morally justified in resisting
with all the physical means at his COM
mand the commission of this additional
crime? His body certainly belongs to the
state, but his soul is still his own, and his
conscience his only guide. If that con-
science dictates resistance, resistance it
must be Mt all hazards, in which case the
only sad alternative for carrying out the
mandate of the court would be brute force.
Cronin may die entirely unaware of the
modus operandi of his execution, but IN
fortunately others will follow and we can
not reasonably in their case expect the
same condition of blissful ignorance.
Inc CONVICT Is Also ODllSeu 10 remain
upon the trap q certain fixed time after the
attendants have completed the strapping
and adjusted the cap. This season of sus-
pense is unnecessary and cruel. The ap-
paratus is somewhat complicated and.
therefore liable to make n mishap. DR.
Tracy claims the weight will not fall for
nearly twenty seconds after the strapping
has been completed, and this time is an
unnecessary punishment. The weight
should be allowed tn drop the instant the
condemned man is made ready. The rea-
son. DIR Tracy thinks. why the prisoner is
made an active agent in his own death is
the desire of the warden to shirk the re-
sponsibility of being the execuioner. The
judge upon whom involves the responsible
ity of pronouncing the death sentence
might as we'll, by photographic contri-
vance. shift that responsibility upon the
prisoner himself. The matter will be
brought to the attention of Governor
Morris and Warden Woodbridge.

A Good show.

The Winsted Herald. speaking of Harris
Nickel Plate circus which exhibits in this
city Thursday and Friday, says it gave a
first-class entertainment to an audience
that thoroughly appreciated the excellence
of the acts. 1t is undoubtedly a fact that
most people like one-ring circuses better
than the overgrown two or three ring per-
formances. The circus is as good as many
high priced ones which have visited us in

strincine Narwhals.

With na1whals ''stringing" is amost
favorite trick and tried by the har-
pooners when at all possible, It is
intended that the harpoon should
pass clean through the first, skip
over the surface of the water and
SO into the second. It is necessary
that the boat should be much nearer
than in the case of happening one,
and a considerable distance between
the animals may be allowed, pro-
vided always that the line is direct
one.
This, then, is what we are about to
attempt.
We have been padding with
breathless care, and scarce 20 yards
now separate us. Davidson sights
steadily, and suddenly there is a loud
report, causing a piece of loose Gnow
to break off from the foe and tum-
bic into the sea. At the same mo-
ment two unicorns spring into the
air and fall back with single splash.
The stringing is a success. Up
goes ringing cheer that skips oyer
the sea and filings itself from point
to point of the ice foe in waves Of
sound. Away flies the line over the
bow, but the next minute the strain
ceases, and they come to the surface
dead. All the Year Round.

An exchange whose patience hac

cheek displayed by its contempora
ries takes off its coat, rolls up it,
sleeves, and digs down and throws
up the following cold and solid histo
rical facts and briefly comments or
each:
Away back in the SOS the Demo
cratic press declared that slavery was
of divine origin. They lied.
Later the party declared through
President James Buchanan that econ.
gress had no power under the consti-
tuition to coerce a state, and therefore
the southern states were at liberty tc
secede." They lied.
Further along they declared thai
Lincoln was butcher, Grant sol
and the war failure. They lied.
When peace came they avowed il
was impossible to pay the public
debt.-They lied.
And again, that the resumption OF
specie payment was wild dream and
entirely out of the question.-They
lied.
Before the election of Grover Cleve-
land to the presidency they promised
a reform administration, reduction OF
taxation and economy in public ex-
penditures. Lied three times.
In '88 they said that the election OF
Harrison meant disaster to the
country and season of business de-
preston. Lied again.
A short time ago they were shout
ing themselves hoarse over the finan-
cial distresses which must follow the
passage of the Mckinley bill. Every
one can see that-They lied.

How He Escaped.

James Payn tells of a friend of his
who had avoided jury duty forssome
time by the assistance of a govern
ment official in acknowledgment of
a certain douceug, bat he got tired of
paying an annuity and wanted ii to
be done with for good and all. For
91O," said the official, II will guar
antee that you will never be troubled
again" And the money was paid.
When the day came for his attend
ance at the court. John Jones, let us
call him, could not resist che tempta-
ton of seeing how his money had
been invested.
He described the sensation of hear
ing "John Jones" called out as rather
peculiar. 1t was called out second
time, and he could hardly resist an
swering to his name. When it was
called out third time, he felt quite
eerie, and much more SO at what took
place in consequence. A person in
deep mourning and with voice
broken with emotion, exclaimed,
John Jones is dead, my lord" And
his lordship, with little reflected
melancholy in his tone, observed:
Poor fellow. Scratch his name out"

Senator G. X. Davis when asked
his opinion in regard to the siren 9Th
of the Peoples party in the Dakotas,
said:
81 am satisfied that is on the de-
cline. feel sure the Populists will
not poll as large vote as they did
two years ago, and they certainly will
draw less heavily from the republicans
as they did then. OF course the hard
times in consequence of the failure of
crops and the general depression of
business tends to make people rest
less, and when the people are restless
they are more liable to be carried
away with Populistic theories than
they would under more favorable cir
cumstances. But they are beginning
to see that Populism brings them no
relief, and consequently they fall back
into line"
We think that the same may be
said of the situation in this state.
The class of voters who drift around
from one party to another on the inn
pulse of the moment are not likely to
stay in any party long, waiting for
something better to come but will
seek new hobby and ride it while.

the roads and public authority II very
different there from what exists in the
United States. Not only rates, but the
building of new roads is carefully super

been so well accepted by the people

The Graceville Phenix now spreads
it wings and squaks to the extent of
half-column in the vain attempt to
compel the TRIBUNE to take back a
statement that was not relished by
the Graceville bird. Doc evidently
takes exception to an editorial recent
ly published in the TRIBUNE, wherein
we called attention to the recent ex-
posure of the fraud existing in the
circulation rating of S. M. Ovens
paper, the Farm, Stock & Home.
The Phenix says:
In looking over the MORRIS TRIB-
UNE of last week and seeing the old
tissue of lies that have been exploded
long ago in regard to S. M. Owen,
strung out in over column, we
could not but wonder whether the
TRIBUNE had any influence Or not.
Every intelligent, well-read man
knows they are tissue of falsehoods
and misrepresentation, and what
confidence he could have in a news
paper that WOULD resort to such
things for mere partisan purposes is
more than we can comprehend.
We beg leave to inform the Phenix
that the article in question was less
than a half-column in length, not
.'over column" And further the
Phenix should have very little to say
regarding the influence of this or any
other sheet. The Phenix continues:
Great parties do not put at the
head of their tickets that class of
men.
Of course they do not. Who said
they did. We did not infer that the
great Sidney NJ. owen was nominat-
ed by ''great party" to head tick
ct. But he was nominated for gov
ernor by the populists of Minnesota.
AS for making misrepresentation of |
any kind in the article referred to, we
stand ready to prove our statements
at any time. But we are giving too
much space to matter so unworthy
of our notice. Probably not dozen
people read the article in our contem-
porary. But perhaps we should ex-
plain that the Phenix we have
mentioned is 6x9 campaign hand
bill published semi occasionally in our
little suburb by DR.. Robertson in
The interests of nobody in particular
but the Doctor in general. We hope
our readers will pardon the digres-
sion. /

Getting Even.

Here is an incident of the Peekskill
militia camp, which shows that at
least one brave soldier boy was on
duty there. Among the excursion
lists to the camp was the wife of a
private in one of the Separate COM
panies. Her husband was in the
guard detail for the day and had
been posted as sentry guarding a
portion of the camp where visitors
are not allowed.
The wife, after searching vainly
for him i'll his company street, at last
discovered him at his post. She ran
gladly to greet him, but stopped In
dislnay before leveled bayonet.
"Haltl Who is thereg" sternly
challenged the sentry.
"Why, John, don't you know mep
asked the wife in dismay.
'You can't come any nearer" The
wife moved a step. Haiti Corporal
of the quart, post sevenl' he shouted.
The corporal ran from the guard
tent to find the wife confronted by
her sentinel husband. All three were
from the same town, and the corporal
knew the couple well.
Sentry, what is the matter9
That's your wife," he said in aston
ishment.

Considerable attention is being
given to the game of foot ball Just
now in our public schools, and, while
objections are heard from various
sources, we heartily recommend this
game as proper, healthful and ben
eficial athletic sport, well worthy of
the time given to it by our youth.
In regard to this game, Prof. E. l..
Richards, for quarter of a century
an instructor at Yale, says that it is
game in which mastery is gained
both by physical and mental quail
ties, and that it results in all-around
benefits to the players.
The game has many rules and in
no other game are the rules SO
strictly observed. Football also en-
cages more players than the base
ball or the rowing and trains more
substitutes. All the muscles are
brought into active use in this game
and a great deal of good is accom-
plished in the way of physical devel-
opment. 1t has been found to be
conducive to habits of sobriety, as a
good football player must be temper
ate in everything. It teaches valu-
able lessons in endurance, obedience,
self-control and self-denial. In ODE
dience the discipline is as strict as
military rules, instant submission to
the word of the coaches being de-
handed.
This game, SO popular in our col
leges, has spread to the public schools
carrying with it it's collegiate popu-
larity. It has aided in bringing
about the highest physical and men
tai development and proven an excel
lent antidote for excessive study.
Of course, football, like all good
things has its evils. Excessive time
IS often devoted to the practice. Prof.
Richards thinks that two hours daily
is about the right thing. The charge
OF brutality is probably the one that
football advocates are called upon to |
meet most frequently. Football |
players, however, are, as rule, too
gentlemanly to indulge in cruelty, |
and the old brutality of college Gus
toms is passing away. By all means
let this game be encouraged so far as
it does not interfere with our school
work, and we think that good will re-
suit therefrom. /
