MURDER ON THE INCREASE.
Harper's Weekly Thinks We Do Not Dc
Enough Hanging.

It appears that we ought all to do
what We can to get more people hanged,
says Harper's Weekly. In states where
capital punishment is administered by
electricity that method of taking life will
answer. but the law that prescribes it
must be enforced. The electrical ma
chimes must not be allowed to stand idle,
and we ought to use our influence to keep
them in frequent use. Of course our
duty in this particular is painful, but it
is imperative. The question is whether
we shall kill murderers or they shall kill
us. BY all means let us kill Them They.
neeo killing far more than we do, SO
long as we are peaceable and decently
behaved. A supplementary question is
whether murderers shall be killed by due
process of law or by mobs. Let us have
them lawfully executed, for that gives
by far the best results. r., More than TO-.
GOO people were murdered in the United
States last year. In the year 1883 less.
than 1000 were murdered. The increase,
of population in seven years has been
considerable. Last year business was
bad. and people were cross, and more
murderously inclined, no doubt, than
common Still, taking everything into
consideration, the increase of murders
was astounding. 1t ought to be checked,
and the only practicable way to check it
is to have murderers suffer the legal
penalty of their crime. 1t is shocking
to kill anyone, but if one must choose be-
tween killing the guilty after conviction
and having the innocent killed offhand,
there cannot be any hesitation about
what duty and common sense demand,
Murder must be made more unpOpular i'm

Power in Electric Station,

5 Probably = no other kinds Of power
plants afford better illustrations Of the
tendency to concentration than some of
the modern, splendidly equipped electric
stations in large cities, where ground
area has closely approached the maxi
mum in value, and in which, therefore,
economic considerations have dictated
the putting Of as much generating appa-
ratus into as little space as human inge-
tnuity would permit, with due regard to
satisfactory performance. In some of
these stations vertical engines and boil
ers i'll large units have been installed to
the entire exclusion Of horizontal de-
signs, and in others, again, the saving
in ground space thus secured has been
still further augmented by setting en-.

New England Republican Calls Each of
Two Candidates His Favorite.
A New England Republican has en-
ulated the example set by Representa-
tive Elijah Adams Morse, who. when
elected to the Fifty-frst Congress, wrote
to each of the speakership candidates,
offering his support and making mod
est reference to his desires in regard
to committee assignments When Sen
ator Aldrich opened his mail this morn
ing he found letter addressed on the
envelope to him, but addressed on the
inside to Senator Elkins. The writer
said that he favored Elkins' presiden-
tial aspirations and requested to he
furnished with some Elkins buttons.
Senator Aldrich referred the letter to the
West Virginia senator, with little
good-natured comment on the fact that
he had at least one supporter, and in
his afternoon mail he received from
Mr.. Elkins a letter from the same New
England Republican addressed to Mr..
Aldrich. The writer had mixed his let
"ters up. In the letter to Senator Aldricl
he said that he had read in the news
papers that be was one of the managers
of the Reed boom, and requested to be
supplied with a few Reed buttons, as
Reed was his favorite presidential can
didate.
The managers of the Quay, Morton,
Allison and Bradley booms are vet to
be heard from, but undoubtedly they
have been asked for buttons also.

Mr., Wilder'S --latest.

This is one of Marshall P. Wilder's
latest stories, but something of chestnut
in Milwaukee: A young man, almost
discouraged, noticed an advertisement in
one of the newspapers for a delivery
man. He called on the merchant, who
made inquiries if he had Il horse and
wagon. NO. was the reply. The
young man showed such signs of disap-
pointment that the merchant said: Il
tell you'll have a light, one-hOrse wagon
which you can use if you can find a
horse" Said the young man: 'Let
me see it." After examining it care
fully he came to the conclusion that he
would try to hold the job for a few days
by dragging it around himself. He de-
livered the goods without much trouble
the first day, but the second day he did
not return at noon and the merchant
became alarmed. However, in the mid
die of the afternoon the young man ap-
peared. He was all bruised and the
wagon was badly broken. The mer-
chant asked him what was the matter
and if he had been run into by the cars.
'Oh, no." said the young man. II de-
livered the goods all right, and was
coming home when little gust of wind
blew some paper across the street, and
l SHE'D and ran away and broke things
up generally!'

The Shah'S Re1rS

The late Shah of Persia had three sons
and thirteen daughters. The latter are
all married, and their husbands are the
only noblement in Persia who can have
but one wife each. The eldest son, who
was debarred from succession through
Russian influence on the ground that he
was born from woman of humble
birth, is immensely wealthy, and may
make strong fight for the throne. The
second son and present Shah. Muzaffer
Ed Deem Mira. is devoted to Russian
interests. but he has not the money to
sustain a long fight for the throne. The
third son is dark horse. For many
years he was trusted by his father with
the positions of minister Of war, of con-
mander-in-c chief of the army, and of gov
ernor-general of several of the northern
provinces, from all of which he derived
immense wealth. He is man of con,
siderable ability and cleverness, and his
chief fault is Incidence. The person who
possesses most influence over him is
stamping young Viennese girl, the wife
of his Austrian head-gardener.
