As to Woman Suffrage.

In deciding adversely on the amend
ment to confer suffrage on women the
New York constitutional convention
no doubt reflected the prevailing SEN
timent at this time. And in the ap-
parent certainty of such Propositions
rejection at the polls is to be found
some excuse for the conventions dis
inclination to authorize the expense
and trouble Of an appeal TO the people.
Nevertheless, there is nothing more
certain, it seems to US, than that men
who participated in this adverse vote
will yet live tosee their action reversed,
and by even more emphatic majority
than that which was cast at Albany
this week on the conservative side.
The strongest arguments in favor of
the change have not yet been brought
into general play. 1t is not a question
of discrimination on account of sex
which should influence action on this
proposition; but instead, one of dis
elimination on account of intelligence
and character, be the sex what it may.
There are thousands of women unfit
to vote. But on the other hand, ave
there not thousands of men equally
unfit? The time will come when the
experiment of universal male suffrage
will be looked upon with decidedly less
favor than it received at the framing
of our federal constitution and at the
time of the enactment of the Four
tenth and Fifteenth amendments. If
fitness be made the test in the civil
service, regardless Of color, race or sex,
shall it not eventually become the test
at the ballot box?

The Aladdin Oven.

While the politicians are haggling
over the currency and the tariff, and
doing their best, it seems, to make
both as scarce as possible, it is reassur-
ing to note that DR.. Edward Atkinson
of Boston has not rested from his Yalu-
able efforts to reform the commissariat,
with view to increased cheapness.
Most of our readers are doubtless al
ready familiar with the implement
whereby this eminent statistician pro-
poses to reduce to one-third the present
cost of living, without sacrifice of nu-
triton or variety of foods. He calls it
the Aladdin oven; and if all or even
respectable fraction of what is said
of it in a current bulletin from the
agricultural department in Washing
ton be true, it certainly deserves the
name. Indeed, a writer in the Wash
ington Post is moved to such admira-
tion over its wonder working proclivi-
ties that he regards it as more than
possible for mankind soon to be eman-
cipated from the use of iron stoves and
ranges, fire-building, hard and soft
coal, dyspepsia, indigestion, INSULT
cient nutrition, cuss words, and gen.
eral household misery. He goes fur
ther and demonstrates that millions of
dollars are to be saved in the cost of
living-that any man or boy may be
his own cook, and put up a delicious
meal "while you wait" By this won
derful discovery it is shown in accu-
rate and carefully prepared statistics
that the inhabitants of city like Bos-
ton can provide all necessary, appetiz-
ing food for 20 cents to 81 per week,
while those who want to revel in the
luxury of tenderloin steaks, venison,
canvasback ducks, terrapin, soft'shell
crabs, capons, ETC., can easily WOO ex-
istence on 81 per week.
A few figures will show the tremen-
dous possibilities of this reform. A
saving of cents per day each person
for nation of 7O,OOO,OOO of people
equals $3,5OO,0OO. In year the saving
thus made would amount to 81, ,277,-
100000! In general terms DR.. Atkin-
son implies that the saving will be
much greater than this. Indeed, if we
take into account what the doctor
says about the nutritive qualities of
food cooked in steady heat without
sacrifice to its essential oils, essences
and juices, it would seem to be reason
able to make large statistical allow

association, who was born in Nova
Scotia, Elmer H. laval, superintend-
ent of the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre
Coal company, and scores Of other men
intimately and prominently identified
with the anthracite mining industry
do not know what they are talking
about when they affirm, and prove by
accurate figures, that free bituminous
coal would deprive them of the whole
Atlantic seaboard market, only to
hand 1t over to the Nova scDtian syn
dicate. The Philadelphia Record is
undoubtedly very wise; but it does not
yet know quite all about the coal trade

The exclusive and succinct publica-

THE exclusive and succinct publica-
ton yesterday in the RECORD U MON OF
the result of the Thompson-C -Crofton false
imprisonment case. which was two days
on trial in the Superior Court. created a
great deal of comment in the community.
People were not only surprised but as
founded, that in this day and age human
being should be imprisoned by man
who assumed the right to hold him by
force and arms, on the plea that he had
not done certain work to his, the captor's,
satisfaction. 1t is not at all likely had
Thompson been white man, that any
attempt to restrain him of his liberty
would have been made-but Thompson
is q negro.

THE McNULTY CASE.

The ways of promoters of petitions for
pardon are often past finding out. II
those who signed the petition for the par
don of McNulty, the murderer, do not,
since the exposition of the case by the
Governor, regret their action, they fail to
do so because they are opposed to capital
punishment, and not because they be-
lieve McNulty acted in self-defense. For
the Governor irrefutably establishes the
fact that McNulty's plea of self-defense
was an afterthought, and not raised until
the bottom was knocked out of the in
sanity plea, which McNulty himself now
admits was baseless.
But one clause in the petition for COM
mutation of the sentence is so ineonsist-
ent that it is amazing that it should ever
have been preferred-that is, that McNulty
should be imprisoned for life. If he acted
in self-defense, or if he was insane, in
either case he should not be punished for
murder, for then he did no murder The
petition would have been infinitely
stronger had it prayed for the discharge
of the prisoner.
Still another popularity of the petition
which Governor Markham declines to
grant is the plea that because McNulty
has managed to keep justice at bay for
The record-union., 1894-01-18

nearly six years, and has all that time
been in prison, and has twice gone
through the dread ordeal' of anticipating
the death sentence, therefore he ''has
suffered twice over all the penalties of
the judgment of death. wherefore he
should not now be punished upon the
gallows
That is to say, the petitioners actually
ask that mental suffering and the mercy
of the law, which has been slow, very
slow, in bringing the guilty to punish
ment, shall be deemed reason for COM
muting the sentence to life imprison
ment. But if the man has suffered twice
over all the penalties of death, why, on
the basis of the petitioners claim, fur
ther punish him by life Imprisonment,
or at all?
The RECoBD-UNIoN does not assail the
sincerity of the petitioners; it has no
humane impulses which prompted them;
but it cannot be blind to the inconsisten-
cies of the pleading of the petition. Two
chief executives of the State have given
the prayer of the petition full considera-
ton from two standpoints-tha of in
sanity and self-defense. Both have found
these claims to be groundless; both have
sustained the verdict of the jury. The
present executive has stripped from the
prisoner the disguise in which he has
been posing, and leaves him exposed as
a murderer without reason for merciful
interference.
Here is a case in which a human life
was wantonly taken nearly six years ago,
in which just punishment has been sue
cessfully STAYED off. 1t is such cases as
these that bring reproach upon the
methods of our laws. 1t is such cases as
these that go so far to justify the claim
that our system enables the criminal to
wear out the law and escape punishment.
That the case has not been added to the
long list of those in which justice has
been defeated, is due to the firmness and
judicial calm of the Governor of the
State.
The law is not vengeful it cannot en-
tertain the sentiment OF revenge; the
emotion of anger is unknown to it; it
neither hates nor hunts McNulty. But
its decree is that of the Divine command,
thou shalt do no murder, and it atfixes
penalty for disobedience of that order,
that is before the eyes of every man as a
deterrent, and as the legitimate result of
offending That the integrity of the law
may be maintained. the people who con-
stitute the State demand, not in venge-
ance, not in anger, not numerically and
cruelty, but with an eye single to justice,
that the penalty for undoubted guilt shall
be visited upon whose commits murder.

GIVING AID TO THE ENEMY.

Republicans who have faith in the prin-
ciples of their party can do nothing more
effective to make Democratic policy do
minant in the nation, and TO keep Demo-
Gratis in power, than to fall into such
traps as so willy a demagogue as Con-
gresham Geary sets for them, when he
poses as friend of protection, and at the
same time proposes at Washington to
vote with his party against the very in
terests he assumes to defend.
The issues between the two great polit-
Ical parties are Enthusiastically defined in
their platforms. The one favors protec-
ton by tariff barrier, the other demands
a tariff as a method of taxation to supply
revenue. The two things are as wide
apart as the poles; as distinct as is the
doctrine of free trade from that of tariff
protection.
Now Mr.. Geary belongs to the party
opposed to protection; he is caucus
pledged to the party bill for revenue
tariff; he is platform bound by that
policy; he canvassed and was elected on
that distinct ground. But Geary wants
to hold down a Republican district;
district which would be in favor of pro-
lection as advocated by Republicans.
To accomplish his end Mr.. Geary plays
fast and loose upon the question of with
drawing protection from single COM
modify in his district. and he actually
thinks that there are Republican fools
enough who believe in him, to prop his
political ambitions. Perhaps there are,
but if so, they are foolish because misled
by selfish interest; if they are giving
Geary aid and comfort they are doing an
idiotic thing. They wish their party
policy to dominate or they are opposed to
it. Assuming that they are sincere in
support of party doctrine, then they vote
themselves foolish when they aid man
who represents a party opposed to their
faith. to remain in power.
In short, there is no way out of the
proposition that the Republican is foolish
who toys with the enemy and hopes to
gain victory over it by giving aid and
sustenance to it.
