The Guillotine Gets valiant.

Valiant. the Anarchist. was disencum-
bered OF his head yesterday in the pres
ence Of about twelve hundred Parsians
We can only account for the smallness
Of the crowd of spectators by the theory
that the public did not know the hour
when the execution was to take place,
or that the authorities restricted the size
of the crowd. valiant was saucy and
vociferous to the last. and died de-
nouncing the Bourgeoisie and extolling
the Anarchists.
1t is credltable TO the French system OF
justice that he was executed in so short
a time after the commission Of his crime.
The French seem not TO be disposed 10
exchange their guillotine for the hang
mans rope or the electricians chair. The
guillotine satisfies their purposes admira-
bly,. 1t is indeed a trusty blade, and
there is no doubt that it gives as pain
less a death as any other instrument-the
electrical current not excepted. True, II
spills blood. and that would horrify our
people but the French-those Of them
who are not to be executed-make no
outcry against il on that account. A
people who exhibit their stranger dead
I'm big showcase windows on a great
thoroughfare, as they do at the Paris
morgue. are not TO be Mortified at the
sight of a little blood.

Another Opponent Of the Miller Bill.

The Fredericksburg Star joins hands
with the opponents OF the Miller bill, and
presents unanswerable objections to the
bill-as follows:
ut would be far better for the Demo-
cratic party TO defeat it and let the pres
ent local-option law remain In force. In
every section OF the State the best element
OF the people don't want any law that
gives them a special privilege
What benefit can possibly accrue 10 the
Democratic party by making the Miller
bill a law? II can do no good and may
possibly create widespread and disastrous
dissatisfaction. We are opposed 10 the
Miller bin not so much because we favor
local option, but because 1t deprives a
large number OF people in the State from
tho right of petition and gives that right
TO others, when a spirit of fairness
and Justice demands that all should have
that right or that all should be deprived

The Prohibitionists have lived up 10 the
spirit of the local-option law. and are enti-
tied 10 claim that they consented TO the en-
actment of that law as a compromise

hIbitionists will no doubt proceed forth

Please permit an humble Democrat 10

right OF men who believe in our govern

the majority to rule. There are thou
sands and tens Of thousands OF Demo-
Gratis In Virginia who. like myself, are
Democrats not merely for revenue or

One Of these principles is local self-gov-
eminent. THE Democratic party believes
In home rule and the control OF their
own affairs by the people OF the vicinage,"

platform OF 1892. To vote for n repeal
OF the local-option law now In existence

TO the platform aforesaid and a direct
blow at one Of the chief corner-stones OF
Democracy.
To argue that elections held under this
local-option law stir up bad blood. en-

reason why the law should be repealed,

sumption that the committee does not
reprcsent correctly the House OF Repre-

take TO estimate the strength In Con-
gress Of the denationalzers OF the cur
rcncy. that MIR. Cox did not propose TO
repeal the 10 per cent. tax unconditional
ly, but only 80 far as II operates upon
national banking associations State bank
ing associations, and State banks. His
bill expressly provided that any person.
firm. or association other than national
banks, State banks. and State banking
associations, should pay a tax Of 10 per
cent. on their circulating notes. SO We
see that even after the repealers had
80 greatly modified their proposed scheme.
It was voted down. That scheme has
in It already the seeds Of dissolution.
1t will soon take its place with the fat
money schemes OF 1878.
