The Execution of Beck.

Sheriff Clemons is thoroughly in the
right in his determination not to per-
nit large crowd of curious spectators
to witness the execution of Frank Be-
EEK on August l. The anxiety of ra-
tlonal persons TO see man hanged is
beyond comprehension. Death in any
form Is a thing to be viewed with re-
pugnance; but to turn the solemn retri-
button which the law-unwisely as We
think-metes out to convicted murder
ers in this state into a festive occasion
or kind of circus entertainment would
be to cast reproach upon civilization.
Public sentiment is nowadays gener-
ally swift to condemn the mawklsh SEN
timentality which deluges blood
stained assassins with flowers and
other tokens, and which, after their
death on the scaffold, cuts up the fatal
rope or splinters the death-deallng
wood into souvenirs OF the occasion.
Why should it not, then, be equally
swift in discouraglng the unnatural de-
sire OF throngs of people to feast their
morbid instincts on the spectacle of
man dangling in the legal deaths
dance?
Capital punishment at best is a relic
Of barbarism- Let US keep the barbar-

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Commenting upon the possible effort Of
Senator Quay's friends to set aside in the
state convention some of the governors ap-
pointees to the Superior court the Phila-
delphia Bulletin very properly and oppor-
tunely says: "1f Senator Quay shall op-
pose the nomination of all or any of Gov
ernor Hastings appolntees he must fur
nsh the party with stronger reasons for
their rejection In the convention than the
grievance that they do not suit his pleas
ure or that they were selected without
consulting his advice. The people are In.
terested only In the choice OF judges who
VIII measure up to q high standard of lu-
dic,al duty, and they do not recognize the
assumption that II Is incumbent upon the
governor to submit his appointments TO
Senator Quay for approval and that re-
fusal to do so shall be punished by the con-
veniion as n high crime and misdemeanor,
The true test. and the only one which the
convention should act upon In considering
the question of indorsing the governors
appointments, is whether each of the new

The Origin of the Panic.

Road Reform Begun.

Probably no other legislation yet
passed upon by the governor Is of the
immediate practical value of the Finn
road bill, signed yesterday. It's pro-
visions have already been printed in
detail in The Tribune; the laws pur-
pose, briefly, Is to enable counties and
townships TO levy a special road tax
and proceed with the work OF road i'm
provement whenever the people of the
affected division so elect.
This law Is only beginning. The
Ideal scheme of road reform will not
bs reached until the state can afford to
take supervision of arterial roads,
offering prizes for the best plans and
contributing to the roads construction
and maintenance. Such a system, sup
plemented with state bounties for
smaller roads reaching fixed standard
Of excellence, would give to the COM
monwealth a uniform and adequate
series of main and cross roads, with
out putting upon poorer communities,
where the need of good roads Is always
greatest, q financial burden in excess
OF their ability to sustain.
But for the present, the Finn law
will serve an admirable purpose where
ever public sentiment Is alive to the
advantages of highway improvement;
and in communities where this senti-
ment is dormant 1t will supply an in
centve for vigorous agitation.

The Battle for Home Rule.

The Irish National Federation of
America has issued an appeal to Amer
leans friendly to the cause of the Irish
Nationalists, in the course of which 1t
says: "The Liberal ministry has re-
signed, Ireland is once more to face
the authors of the policy of coercion
and landlord rule. The long pending
dissolution OF the British parliament
will follow quickly. The Irish party
have kept faith in letter and spirit
under very trying circumstances with
the Liberal party and performed their
share of the compact, viz: Mutual sup
port in the passage of reformatory
measures for Great Britain and Ire
land; home rule to have first place
In Ireland the strife and heated parti-
sanship witnessed at the last general
the pacific, prudent and intelligent ap-
peals of the Irish party to the people.
The Unionists of the north have come
to see that a common interest demands
a common protection from the rapacity
of the landlords. and large meetings
composed entirely of former political
opponents have endorsed the Irish
party. Thus has the political atmos-
phere been cleared and the Irish cause
strengthened in the interim between
the rejection of the Home Rule bill and
dissolution.
'Ireland Is today in better
position than evdr before TO
force her claim for Home Rule in
the future. England can have no stable
government and know no peace until
Ireland is accorded the right of self
government. The general depression in
business has deprived the Irish party
of the financial support hitherto OBJ
tained from our countrymen in Aus
tralla, Canada and the United States
The Irish people have made great sac
rfces to maintain the contest from
their own slender resources: the cost Of
a general election demands immediate
financial support to enable them to go
back with an increased vote to hold
the balance of power again in the next
parliament and wiring from Tory min
istry, II returned, the passage of a
Home Rule bill for Ireland"
Consequently American friends and
sympathizers are urgently requested to
send such contributions as they can to
Joseph =. Ryan. secretary Of the Irish
National Federation Of America,
Room &c, Cooper Union New
York city, checks to be made
payable to John d. Crimmlns,
treasurer. The appeal is worthy one
and also timely. The fate of home rule
hangs in the balance. but vigilance and
cooperation on the part of its friends
may yet win the victory.

Cleanse the Constabulary.

"Judge Edwards" says the Wilkes
Barre Record, deserves praise for the
emphatic manner in which he scored
the conscienceless constables Of Lacka-
wanna county who levy blackmail upon
citizens under cover Of their official
positions. lie should follow it up ,by
causing the arrest and punishment or
the blackmailers. Drastic measures are
sometimes necessary in dealing with
these alleged conservators of the law
Nothing short of u term in Jail will
bring them to realization of their
duty.
"The courts themselves could do
much toward improving the personnel
Of constables. There is altogether too
much laxity displayed in the appoint
ment of deputy constables. 1t is COM
mon practice in Luzerne county for
regularly elected constables to turn
over their offices to irresponsible depu-
ties who are promptly appointed by the
court and no questions asked. The
bonds Of these deputies are as a gem
eral rule worthless. They are not close
ly examined, neither are they filed Of
record. Consequently these alleged
officers of the law enjoy comparative
immunity.
"This accounts in part for the lack Of
confidence on the part OF the people in
the average constable, and the conse-
quent lack of efficiency on the part of
these officers. A little more intelligent
would bring about change for the
better"
