New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1895-05-15

Blixt, the murderer Of Catherine Cling,
has been let off with Imprisonment for
life, and 1t is given out that Erwin will
now bring all possible pressure to bear
on the governor to secure similar fate
for Hayward, the arch conspirator in the
awful crime. Should he succeed, q
mistake will have been made, for re-
spect for the law falls off as soon as it is
trifed with. When sentence is once
passed, punishment should come swift
and sure IN order to be preventive to
any degree. It was mistake in the first
place to mitigate the punishment implied
by the law for the offense committed by
Bixt. He may have repented and con-
fessed and been the means Of bringing
Hayward to justice, but that does not
make his crime any less or entitle him to
a lighter penalty, for any murderer is
apt to plead in similar vein. Had he
been man Of worth, he could not
have been induced by any other being to
perform. the terrible deed, and having
done it, the law should take It's course
If the law is wrong let it be repealed
but do not trife with it as long as it re-
mains on the statute books.

him. They were welded, but their subsequent

that zone of the name" will not answer.

The Deeply Interested Voter.
THAT THE STATE IS ASKED TO ASSIST TO
VOTE.

From the Baltimore Sun, December 2Sth. ]
Data obtained from the State auditors
Office at Richmond, Va, show to what an eX-
tent the civil war and reconstruction have
altered the incidence of economic burdens in
the Old Dominion. The total Of taxes paid
into the treasury of Virginia under the as
sessment OF 1891 by whites was -, S36,62O by
negroes sos, 565. On real estate the whites
paid ST, 143, 6SS, the negroes So. 652. On per-
sonal property the former paid S374 445, the
negroes S12.51S. The white capitation tax
! was SIG 295, OF which $40, 662 was delinquent,
the colored capitation tax, S11494S, of which
s54, 944 was delinquent. OF income tax the
| whites paid S62. 100, the negroes 5000. Uh-
der other heads Of State income the negroes
do not figure at all.
The criminal expenses of the State, as
shown by the auditors report of 1891, were
$3.50, 76S. Apportioned in the ratio of con-
victs of each race received in the penitentlary
! 81 whites and 344 negroes-the cost entailed
| by crimes Of whites aggregate S55,740, of ne
groes S2O4 OILS. The crimes of the latter class
cost much more than the total of taxes they
pay.

| annually in warrants S697 1929; to the State
board of education 100000; total $780,, 929
This sum is apportioned in the ratio of atten
dance at school, which is for the whites 1879,
| 973, for the negroes 6S,317, with the result
that the white free schools get S5S7 ,564, the
negroe free schools S3O9,3G4 or just three
times the amount they pay in taxes. 10 the
| Colored Normal at Petersburg the State gives
annually $4,000; to the colored lunatic asy
lums $4,000.
Summing up the amounts paid on account
of the negroes for criminal expenses, TO!
schools, normal school and asylums, it is
found that the total is s6Os, 1888, as against
taxes paid by them to the amount of S1O3, 565
making the bounty received by them from
their white neighbors annually S504.s1S. OF
over half million. Capitalized at 8 pei
cent. this annual expense of S5O4, S17, repre-
sents burden on the whites Of nearly SIT,
| OOO, 0OO-in other words, S504.8l7 would pay
| interest on that much of the State debt. Nc
| longer property and no longer productive as
a laborer to the extent he formerly was, the
colored brother in Virginia represents still
the vast burdens entailed by the civil war.

into one of the regular passenger coaches.

happened to let my gaze rest on demure,
dainty little woman across the aisle from
mine. She was intently perusing the pages
of paper-covered French novel. little
later she dropped the book and produced
from her traps-she was surrounded by boxes
hand bags, and shawl strap bundles-a
steamer schedule of the Compagnie Generate

seats of a day passenger coach is hardly the
place one would select for such calisthenic
exercises as | knew my fair fellow traveller
was about to indulge in. Time, place, and
surroundings disturbed her not. A pair of
stout walking boots were brought forth, the

fully arranged about her ankles that not the
smallest bit of hosiery was displayed. MOI
