The ParOra case at Memphis is
probably without a parallel in the
history of criminal procedure, as it
brings into direct conflict the iu-
dietary and the executive branches
of government. ParOra was SEN
fenced to hang for murder; the case
was appealed, aud, pending the ap-
peal, Gov. Taylor issued an order
committing the death sentence to
life imprisonment. Judge Cooper
held that this procedure was void,
and then Parora's appeal was with
drawn. Judge Cooper still held
that Gov. Taylor's order of com.
mutation was void, and sentenced
Parora to hang Oct. 10, which is to-
day. Judge Cooper says that Parora
must hang, while Governor Taylor
says he must not, and Sheriff
Carnes, who has two orders, one
commanding death and the other
giving life, says he will obey the
latter.

A BASE APPEAL.

The Republican leaders, urged by frantic
desperation at the thought of prospective
defeat, placed In circulation a political
pamphlet, in which an appeal was made 10
the basest and most despicable spirit which
can animate the mind of man-the spirit
of bigoted prejudice. BY this action an
al ont was gratuitousiy offered to lar o
pa OF the population, and its auth, rs
placed themselves in the vile category of
the unjust and intolerant.
This pamphlet admonished the reader to
vote TO put the public schools into the
hands of their friends. BY implication Re-
publicans are friends; Democrats are ene-
mics. "Codlin, not Short, is your friend"
Into the hands of their friends, indeed!
Into the hands of those whose chief aim
and concern Is the control of the public
schools, not their betterment. And these
same persons with cool effrontery make
the slanderous imputation of hostility to
our schools against class OF citizens
which is as deeply interested and as we'll
intentioned as any other class.
In the hands of its friends, forsooth!
Are the members of the School Commit
tee elected last fall unfriendly to oui
schoolsf Have they neglected their dutiesf
Have they not been active, energetic and
competent? Have they not shown an in
telligent conception of the needs of ouI
school systemf Have we heard word
open criticism of the position which they
have taken on any school question: Does |
any one dare openly to impeach the purity |
of their motives? viii anyone deny tina,
they are able and conscientious? The fac, |
of the case is that the election of the Dem |
ocratic nominees to the school board was |
like infusing new life into valetudinarian. |
Into the hands of their friends! Is Mr.. |
Nathan w. Littlefeld, Democratic MEM
ber elect, an enemy of our public schools?
1t is quite in keeping that those who ar
rogate to themselves all the civic virtues
should reflect on others, while skulking
upon the cover of anonymous publication.
Latitation is congenial to their tastes.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

The civil service rules may be likened to
. punching bag in a public gymnasium,
and the senators and representatives to the
punchers. Whether they can punch the
bag to pieces is yet to be seen. The senate
civil service committee is preparing to
make an exhaustive examination of the
workings of the civil service under those
rsles, but that inst going fast enough for
some Of the opponents of Mr.. Cleveland's
numerous extensions Of the rule, and Re-
preventative Corliss, of Michigan, has Of
fered joint resolution providing for the
repeal of every extension made under the
last administration. Mr.. Corliss tried to gel
immediate consideration for the resolution
bat Speaker Reed would not have 1t tina,
way, so 1t has gone to join the numerous
bills and resolutions which are awaiting
the appointment Of the house committees
Mr.. Corliss says that President McKinle,
has the authority to rescind these rules
but that he thinks 1t would only be righ
for Congress to assume the responsibility
OF doing 90.

TWEED RELICS SCARED.

1t Is surprising how dyspeptic con-
science makes some men tremble. Here
are the remains of the Tweed gang, scared
almost into senility because one w. E. D.
Stokes, who has in his possession lot Of
Tweed letters, might, II he chose, expose
them. He won't.
1t is a good many years since New York
was convulsed over the financial antics of
Tweed. Many of his guilty associates es-
capped merited punishment, except that of
cowardly fear. These men are as timor-
Gus as ever. They cringe and cover at the
very suggestion of implication. They fear
their own shadows. That Is what they
get for sharing the spoils Of Tweed. They
deserve it, but it Is laughable the way
they act over the Stokes episode.
We are sorry to see disposition on the
part of some honest and well-meaning
people to glorify Tweed. He may have
aided In some public works of merit, but
1t Is poor man who never did any good
1t is better to let such men as Tweed lie
in their unhallowed graves, than to resur
rect them and try to put them on a pedes-
tai. Next we know somebody will bt

A WARNING AGAINST DEBT.

The Supreme Court has decided that the
State House Commissioners must not
plunge this commonwealth into debt ex-
ceeding $4,000, unless the people vote to
incur Q greater debt. This means that a
general graball IL not 80 likely to result as
seemed to threaten few days ago. With
this admonition in their ears it is probable
that the Commission will 60 slow.
Still even now 1t will take . vast sum to
put roof over the heads of our statesmen.
1t Is estimated that about three and half
millions will be necessary to complete the
job. II Gov. Lppitt had not grown
alarmed at the waste and sent word to the
Supreme Court we do not know where the
expenditure would have ended.
The State House could easily have been
kept within the limits OF the original sp-
preparation once, but II cannot now. The
best thing that can be done Is to mend the
break by making II uncomfortable for the
commission to spend any more money
than necessary.

Brooklyn Eagle: Chairman Dingley may
claim till doomsdsy that his bill has been
framed with an eye to industries in all
parts of the United States and that the
wooden manufacturers should not hope to

the fact that members of Congress look at
the subject from the point of view of the

Gov. Lippitt has received from the su-
