the CRIME OF LEzE MAJESTY.
Was Once Punishable with Torture ant
Death.

Was Once Punishable with Torture and
Death.
The frequent appeals OF tho German
emperor TO the law OF leze majesty,
which commonly appears in the foreign
dispatches Us ''leze majestatis," and
In full should DO ''crimen laesac mar
estatis" have brought prominently TO
the attention Of the modern reading
public this once dreaded legal means
which IN absolute monarch was form
erly able to use In order TO accomplish
almost any wrong that occurred to
him rs desirable.
OF all severe laws In In age when all
laws were severe this was the most
feared, for It was capable Of SO many
different applications and explanations
that II could be made to at almost any
case that arose and was used as form
liable means Of oppression when the
monarch desired to gain the property
or take the life Of subject who had
grown too rich or become too powerful
to suit tho ideas Of royalty. Trans
lated, the words mean simply injured
majesty" but when kings were abso-
lutte majesty was SO easily injured and
there were so many ways by which
the injury could be effected that no
one could be sure that in an entirely
innocent action he might not violate
the majesty Of the king and thus incur
the severest punishment known to the
law.
Arson, robbery, murder, assassina-
ton were triAcs In the eyes OF SOW
ereign who regarded his majesty as his
most sacred possession, and while these
were punished by death. simple hang
ing, beheading or other form OF speedy
execution was altogether too good for
the man guilty.of violation OF majesty.
and the ingenuity Of exccutioners was
taxed to provide lengthy and exquisite
ly painful tortures for the criminal who
was adjudged guilty Of this offense.

ice or coal and diamonds, as held by
Prof. Mendeljef, OF Russia; Prot May
or. of Germany, and Prof Newlands,
Of England. DR.. Emmons added that
plans were under way to establish q
laboratory in New York for the pro-
duction Of gold from silver upon q

THE parole system for convicts, the
Chicago Timcs-Herald says, underwent
q hard strain when the police discov.
cred that the robbers whose raids so
greatly disturbed Chicago for several
months were ticket-of-leave men from
the reformatory ut Pontiac and were
supposed to have been reformed. "
But Maj. McClaughry, the superin-
tendcnt of the institution, sufficiently
answers criticism by showing that q
majority of paroled men abide by their
word OF honor and IRE reclaimed, while
only very inconsiderable number re-
turn voluntarily to life of crime.

Gov Sheldon, of South Dakota, is
the maddest man in the state. He is
still breathing vengeance against the
Brookings county, S. D., silverites. A
few nights ago his excellency made an
address at Aurora, in the county in

small-not quite 1OO-but the governor
gulped down his disappointment and
stirred up the Bryanites with sharp
stick. 'And now" shouted an incon-
siderate wretch in the audience, as the
executive of the state took his seat. IL
move you, gentlemen, that we proceed
to organize a free silver club and the

A NOTABLE CONTRAST.

Here is what the Boston Globe, a
|high-toned gold standard Mckinley
organ, had to say Of Mr.. Bryan when
he appeared in that city. Contrast it
with the petty abuse of the cheap
organs over the country. The Globe
admitted in b very creditable way that
Mr.. Bryan is great man.
Boston audiences are not as a rule
extraordinarily demonstrative, not near
ly so much as those of the west or the
south. But last night there was no
stint of applause. 1t was al audience
thoroughly en- rapport with the orator,
and like all Boston audiences, quick to
seize the good points and appreciate
their full significance Let it be said
about Mr.. Bryan, although perhaps it
is unnecessary to say so at this late day,
that he is genuine orator, one of those
rare beings who possesses the power to
mould the emotions of man as the skill
full worker in clay shapes the plastic
material to assume the tangible forms
of his brain. This verdict verdict
which has already been endorsed by
thousands and tens of thousands in
hundreds of cities in the past few
months, met with the approval of a
Boston audience last night. And let il
be said that it was an audience of high
intelligence. No man could say that il
was a gathering of cranks or anarchists
or uneducated persons. 1t was an as
sembly such as few cities could furnish,
but which are not uncommon in Bos-
