ABOLISH THE pARDoNING POWER.

The one fear Of law.abiding people,
when the conviction Of Prendergast by
the Chicago jury was announced was
that Governor Altgsld might pardon
him. The prsrogative Of executive
elemency introduces an element OF un-
certainty into the operation Of the
criminal law which is highly de-
moralizing, and which robs punish
ments, when they are administered, Of
large share Of their exemplary effect.
When a criminally disposed person
argues with himself on the chances of
being made to suffer for a contem-
plated misdeed, he says II may be
able to conceal my crime. If ! fail in
this, may be able to get away. II /
am caught, and tried, good lawyer
may manage to secure my acquittal.
But even if / am found guilty, and
sentenced, shall still have the chance
of obtaining pardon from the COY.
ernor."
With the expectation Of punishment
so shadowy and uncertain. what Won
der that fear Of the law cuts small
figure In deterring people who have
murder in their hearts2 One of the most
serious arguments against sentences of
life Imprisonment instead of the death
sentence for murder in the first degree
is the opportunity which life prisoners
have for renewing appeals for pardon
time and again, before different Gov
ernors. with the probability that sooner
or later governor with an impression
able nature may surrender to the ap-
plication. 1t would be better for the
cause of justice if the prerogative of
executive clemency were abolished, and
If sentences imposed by the courts
could be commuted only by a board OF
judges, on the basis of evidence which
had not been produced at the original

HE MORALITY OF KISSING.

There are people who consider dane
ing and going to the theater improper,
and who are, nevertheless, of opinion
that kissing is form of salutation
which may be INDUCED in by persons
of opposite sexes without improperly.
They even sanction it as an exercise to
give zest to social gaines, such as
Copenhagen" "forfeits" and other
recreations familiar to patrons of the
church sociable and the Sunday school
picnic. On the other hand, there are
people who place theatsr- going and
dancing among the most innocent of
amusements, but who object to kissing
In public as an act Of indecorum.
Hamlet's observation that "there's

viewed in connection with the pend
ency of the Wilson bill.
English locomotive manufacturers
would not go to the expense Of making
trial runs o2 American roads il they
did not believe that the Democratic
congress will open American markets
to them. The natural policy of Eng
lish stockholders who can control
American railways will be. to buy
equipment for those railways in Eng
land, if it can be ACCOMPLISHED. and in
that case what will become of the
American mechanics now employed in
the manufacture of locomotives and
rails and other railway supplies
American locomotives have hereto
fore stood high in the esteem OF
the world. In many respects they
have borne the palm. But If the
Democratic free trade folly is persisted
in, the competition between American
and foreign built locomotives will not
be decided entirely on the basis of me-
ehanical merits. Besides, what would
there be to prevent foreign manufact-
urers from availiug themselves of
American designs? English capitalists
controlling an American railroad might
also own stock in locomotive building
works. What would be more certain,
if the tariff were out of the way, than
that these men should make their
American railway interests contribute
to the prosperity of their English man
ufacturing interests?
Nothing is clearer than that the car
rying out or Democratic free trade
policies will tend to make the United
States a poor and dependent nation,

THE PROPOSED NEW STATES.

The senate committee on territories
has now under consideration bills that
have already passed the house provid.
ing for the admission of Utah and
Arizona to the Union 1t is taken for
granted that the house. vt an early
day will also send to the senate a bill
giving the right of statehood to New
Mexico, as tho Chicago platform de-
clared in favor of the admission Of all
three of these territories to the Union.
The impression prevails at Washington
that the senate will ratfy the action
of the house in short order. There are
nevertheless. strong reasons why the
senate should take broader and more
statesmanlike view of the subject,
and reject the bills in their present
shape.
Utah, Arizona and New Mexico
should not be admitted as states for
the sufficient reason that none Of them
has population that warrants admis-
sion, under existing circumstances.
Utah has population of two hundred
thousand, Arizona Of only fifty nine
thousand six hundred and twenty, and
New Mexico of one hundred and fifty
three thousand five hundred and ninety
three. AlFthree territories have been
growing very slowly Of late years, and
there is no reasonable certainty that
they will grow in population more rap.
idly in the future. Arizona increased
only twenty thousand in the decade
from 1880 to 1890, and New Mexico
only thirty-three thousand. Why
should the little groups of people who
live in these territories, many thou
sands of them Indians and Mexicans,

United States senate equal to the in-
tluence welded by great common.
wealths like New York, Pennsylvania
and Illinois?
Senator Proctor has introduced a
bill providing for the annexation oi
Utah to Nevada. thus making one large
state of the two, and this idea is meet
ing with much favor. Another equally
good plan would be the union of Ari-
zona aud New Mexico. Unitedly they
would have only population of two
hundred and fifty thousand, and not a
very desirable population at that. II

nothing good or bad. but thinking
makes it SO" would seem to apply to
kissing. There were enlightened peo'
pie in ancient times who thought 1T
shameful for women to hear the music
of the lutte. Yet in Scranton there are
thousands of members Of the gentle sex
who listen delightedly to music by
whole orchestra Of stringsd instru'
ments, and who are very Ostimable per
sons. A society of the vicinage which
devotes itself to the culture Of music
and which entertains no distrust of the
once suspected lutte, is, singularly
enough, divided by controversy over
the permissibility of kissing. The
leader of the organization has been
called to account to answer to the
charge thar ne openly kissed member
of the ladies' choir, He admits the soft
impeachment He explains, however,
that the manner of the occurrence was
this: There had been a dancing pro-
gramm0, which was concluded. and
one OF the young ladies begged the
director to play one more dance. He
jokingly replied that he would if the
young lady would give him kiss. To
his surprise, she accepted the PROPOSE
tion. What would any man have done
under circumstances like this?
Kisses Of the kind that Ella Wheeler
celebrates and even kisses such as the
late Emma Abbott introduced upon
the stage are no doubt too warm and
intimate for public psrusal; but a
light and laughable salutation such as
that with which the director of a
singing society under highly ameliora-
ting circumstances, alleviated the en-.
bArrassment of a playful and pretty
young girl, may perhaps be safely
overlooked without danger to the
| social fabric.

c. A. Wiley has hard luck story that
deserves publicity. and we will therefore
give space to the narrative. A few days
ago Moran & Co., received number Of
decoy ducks made Of canvas. which are
infia ed. The novelty Of this new inven-
ton struck Charley's eye, and he pur-
chased one. and the next morning arose
bright and early and started for the
slough for the purpose Of trying his new
novelty. Arriving at the slough he in
fisted his decoy, set her afiost and laid
in the brush to await further develop
ments. He had waited but short while
when he heard two shots and looking to
the water he saw his decoy fast sinking.
The conclusion Of the story is that the
decoy was such a true representation
that some other hunter had blazed two
barrels.into.the canvas duck and sunk
him.

considerable sum Of money to be hung
up in purses as an induceDent for these
horses to come here. but as usual, Miles
City responded nobly and the deal is
closed. Regarding this added attrac-

truthfully said. that although we have
had some pretty tine races on our track
in the past, they cannot be compared
with what will be offered next week and
as our track is said by horsemen to be
the best in the state it is more than prob
able that the best time ever made by
these horses will be made here. Each
able is said to be out to win il the
horses can do it. and series OF exciting
races may be looked for. The coming
Of these horses here will bring not less
than 800 visitors from Helena, Anaconda
and Missoula, and a large number can
be looked for from Livingston and Bill
ings. where the horses have just con-
pleted two weeks of racing. The county
fair is rapidly growing into big thing,
and the country people must make it
