ABSOLUTELY PURE
Death by ElecIroculion.

Albany. Nov '12-GOvernor Flower Il
willing to allow experts to make a test
TO ascertain whether a man killed II the
electric chair can be resuscitated. To
the Associated Press representative he
said: L am perfectly willing to allow
the experiment to he made, if it Is il
NV power under the law. l think i
would be a good thing to have this long
standing controversy settled at once ana
forever
Ever since the adoption of the electric
al execution act by the state the West
inghouse people, whose dynamos are
used, have declared that electricity was
not the cause, but death resulted from
the holding OF an autopsy after the body
had been taken from the electrical chair.
No less authority than Nicola 1eSta, the
famous electrician, contended that he
could bring back to life a man supposed
to be killed in an electrical chair, provld-
ed the attempt was made Immediately
after execution.
Mr.. George Westinghouse has always
ascertained electrical death was a sham,
and that New York C omIniSSon, head
ed by EIbridge L. Gerry, had added the
autopsy clause to the law to make 1t GER
tain that the man was dead. Within
the last few weeks the agitation of the
subject has again become prominent,
and an appeal is to be made to the
governor to allow the next man COM
mitted to death as a subject to be ex-
peIimented on.
The attempt, if made, will undoubt
edly create great excitement and inter
est in the scientific world. 1t will also
arouse curiosity among laymen, because
if successful it will bring to life a new
man who can not be again executed,
having once suffered the penalty of
death 1t will also prove that the state
executioners have been the surgeons
who have held the autopsy, rather than
the state electrician.

HE reports of disagreement between
President Cleveland and Secretary Car
hsle on the question of the necessity of
making new loan at this time are eff
fusively denied. Such reports can gem
orally be traced to a stock -jobbing
source. There is no more convenient
way of getting up little furry in the
market than to misinterpret or misrep-
resent the sayings and doings of the
head of the treasury department, whose
task has been for the past year and a
half made doubly arduous by having to
meet extravagant outlay with deficient
revenue, and an always impending terror
over his head of outstanding demand
notes in excess of the means of redemp-
ton.

IHE New York Mercury mentions the
obvious truth, which deserves iteration
as an assurance to business interests.
that ''even if the Republicans elect the
next President and control the senate
they would be unable to repeal the Dem
ocratlc tariff if the house of Representa-
tlves to be elected IN 1896 should be
Democratic" There is hardly any ''if'
IN the matter, as the Republicans have
not carried the house twice in succession
during the last twenty-five years; and
already the chief thought which their
recent victory suggests to their leaders
is as to what they shall do with it.

AMBASSADOR Thomas +. BAYARD, speak
ing at Baltimore of the late election said
Il have had grave apprehensions as
to the result of the recent elections for
some time"
The ambassador said he had no idea
that the change of power was lasting or
even meant to be lasting. l don't want
to run afOul of those gentlemen
who are responsible for the delay in the
p assage of the tariff bill, but, as / say,
the path of duty is unmistakable, and
the necessity for pure Democratic tariff
legislation was never so great as it is now.
The bills for free raw materials should
be passed immediatly and then the
country will be able to contemplate the
Democratic idea of the tariff in full
working order for two years before
another national election rolls around.
If this is done, have little fear that
the verdict will be satisfactory in 1896. -

a GREAT question in New York lust
now with politicians is the reorganization
of Tammany, and how to do it, and with
what materials 1t is not likely that the
Iammany society, polling over IOO, 900
votes at the late election, with over a
century back of It of good and bad
history, and with organization in every
election precinct of New York, will hari-
kari itself. The "WorId'' prints a long
interview with Henry ID. Purroy, who
Is talked of as new leader, in which he
says that if Tammany is to be rehabili
tated these things must cast out its mer.
cenaries, find new and better leaders,
draw TO itself, if possible, such men as
Grace, Whitney and FairchiId, and so
reform its methods as to command the
respect and devoted to principle rather
than interest. That would be a new
Tammany.

Wants $4,000 Damages.

Pittsburg, Nov. 12,-Another echo of
the famous Homestead strike was heard
to day by the suit of III J. Bird for $50.
600 damages against the Carnegie Stee;
company. The plaintiff, a non-union
workman, alleges that he was poisoned
while working for defendants. He ate
in the famous No. restaurant and soon
afterward became sick. He was i'll nm
tll January, 1898, and could not work.
and after that he could only work half
time until April last, when he was dis
charged. He claims to have been re-
duced from man weighing 40 pounds
to 20 pounds.

On the tariff question John Sherman
is hedging as he gets before the people
''No duties should be levied for protec-
ton that are not needed for revenue. =
he said in his speech few days ago at
Akron, Ohio. The principal object of
a tariff" he added, ''should be reve
nue. for the government and not reve
nue. for few individuals. When there
is surplus the tariff should be reduced
and in no case should duties be imposed
solely for the protection of an industry
No tariff at all should be placed on arti
cles that We cannot produce, such as
tea, coffee and spices" That is the
kind of a defender of McKinleyism
Sherman is on the stump. He is op
posed to McKinleyism, as much so as
General John B. Henderson. He is as
much against high protective tariff as
the Globe Democrat was in November.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS.

The South Dakota board OF equal
ization made Il very conmendable
move in raising the assessments Of
corporations, and their action will
meet will, general approval. The
railroads took the stand that their
property was permanent. that the
road can not be taken up at the
option Of the owners, that the money
invested could not be got out ut
will aud invested in more remuner-
alive channels; that they could not
stop running when there was a lack
OF patronage or they would lie CON-
PEELED to forfeit their franchise, and
that during the past year the North
western had lost about $780, 900 and
the Milwaukee about $500, 900 in
operating their roads in South Da-
kota, and that the prospects were
that the loss the coming year would
be still greater. and for these rea-
Sons asked for a reduction. The
board held that the assessment of
former years was toe small and that
the plea Of hard times carried no
weight whatever. as the people OF
the state were affected to a greater
extent than the companies, and that
to reduce the levy on corporations
would be an unjust discrimination
against the people. The board held
further that the holders of railroad
stocks were probably more able to
put up with the losses than were
the common people, and therefore
raised their assessment, and the
people say amen to their decision

With a prospect, probably, OF the
smallest wheat crop in the north.
west known for years, the price Of
wheat last week went down to 55
cents in New York, the lowest ever
known. Fifty-five cents in New
York practically means 30 cents 10
the farmer, and that means starva-
ton. With u plentiful crop, even
at that price, the farmer could live,
but with IS per cent Of the crop
destroyed and only 30 cents tor the
balance, it is certainly calculated to
discourage most any man. W. are
