should They BE Exccuteds

In every community there is a feeling
against carrying into effect the death
sentence that has been pronounced in the
case of a woman. However horrible the
crime may have been of which the woman
was convicted, there are always TO be
found people VINO are ready and anxious
10 sign a petition for her pardon or the
Communication of her sentence. If public
sentiment is against hanging a woman,
why not change the law? But if 1t is re-
garded' as against the public welfare to
change the law. why not enforce 1t? 1t is
against common sense to insist upon a
law that is practically ignored in accord
ance with popular sentiment.
In New York Gov. Morton is burdened
with petitions to pardon Maria Barberi,
an Italian girl, who was recently convict
ed of numbering her sweetheart, who had
wronged her and refused to marry her.
In this state petitions to the governor
are being circulated asking executive elem
ency for Mrs. Mobiles. the woman who
was convicted a few days ago of murder
ing her husband. There is more ground
for sympathy for the Italian girl than for
Mrs. Mobiles. Both acted deliberately,
however, and both were sane when they
committed the deeds for which they were
sentenced to death. Each had a fair trial,
and in neither case could the jury have
rendered a different verdict under the
instructions It received.
Should executive clemency be extended
in either case? We do not think so. The
fact that the criminals are women should
make no difference in the carrying out
of the law. 1t is not a question whether
or not we have sympathy for them, but
whether or not the public good requires
a strict compliance with the law. If we
allow sympathy to nullify the law, we
only put a premium on crime. If the law
is wrong it should be repealed, but If the
law is as it should be, then 1t should be
enforced.
When people are thinking deeply they
do not talk much. The farmers of Georgia
are not having much to say with regard to
political matters just now. The sign is
! good for the Democratic party and sound
money Meantime, the silverites are quite
garrulous.
Speaking of the new woman. what of the
now mother-in-law? Is she to be new
too? Whether she is or not, it would
be saferto wager that she will not be
fresh"

The Philadelphia Press thinks it little
queer that Mrs. While X. Vanderbilt,
who does not speak to Mr.. Willie X. Van
derbilt," should stick TO his name and
initials" But when one comes to look at it,
it doesn't appear SO queer after all. Mrs
While X. Vanderbilt was born Smith.
While there is nothing in the world the
matter with the name of Smith, it is hard
~ q name to conjure society with.
