i GOOD COLD MAN.

The choice of Lyman J. Gage for sec retary of the treasury meets with ap- proval in all parts of the country. Oc- casiJ ally a hide bound and near-sight- ed partisan walls that MT. Gage voted for Cleveland in 1884, and is therefore unfltted to be secretary of the treas ury this year and the three years after it, But that is all the dissent there is, and that can be endured by an admin istration whose existence was made possible by Democrats who were as independent last year as MT. Gage was in 1884.
 MT. Gage is gold man. He said gold when there was some hesitation about saying it. He is financier of extraor- dinary ability and his most sincere and glowing inducements come from other financiers who know his ability and re- spect his judgment and skill in dealing with financial affairs. MT. Gage him. self has made this declaration: Tt will be my chief object to see that the country is given a business-like admin istration, so far as the duties devolving upon the secretary of the treasury are concerned. My appointments will be made with regard to merit and not political obligation" This is a good platform and one that can be safely stood upon. The good of the people should come before peanut politics, even if the peanut politicians object.

Monday, No0. 9 (continned). The preachers text yesterday morning was: "The greatest of these is love"
 last clause 1. Cor. xiii: 13. Such d sermon as he preached. He is good preacher is our minister, and he lives his preaching too. That's the best of it. Seems to 1ne that he never preached better than he did yesterday morning, or was it something i'll my own physi- cal state and the new hopes, which I hardly dare mention, about the future right here on the earth It was a magnificent text and noble discourse. How beautiful the world seemed as he talked How small, how petty, seemed hate and human ambition, and gain, and place! That sermon, and especial 1y the text, just possessed me the rest of the day, and was the last thing in mind as fell into d good sleep at an early hour. And last night 1 had a. mother dream. saw poor fellow have a fearful time. My first sight of him was on the top of a great wave, beat ing against jagged cliffs. Again and again he was thrust against the rocks until it seemed as if there could not be life in his torn and bleeding body. Finally he was thrown by waves and rising tide into a shelf-like niche. Then, horrible to tell, a great eagle attacked him and began to tear out his vitals. Before he could complete his feast, the eagle was attacked by d lion, and fierce battle ragged for the possession of their prey.

THE DEATH PENALTY.

The Curtis bill, lately enacted, abol- ishes the death penalty in all cases within the jurisdiction of the Federal courts except those of treason, murder, rape and capital offences enumerated in the articles of war for army and navy: and a further communication is provided for in murder and rape cases, in the discretion of the jury. The judg- ment without capital punishment" may be added to verdict of guilty, and life imprisonment at hard labor substituted for death.
 Some interesting facts came out in the consideration of the bill. It appear ed that in the first years of the Repub- lie conviction of 8 crime easily capable of proof was not hard to obtain, and that death was pretty sure to follow conviction of those crimes most revolt ing to public sentiment. In thirty-nine murder trials there were thirty-five COQVlCllOIlS, anu tW SHAy -t"o U oi IhC pCi sons convicted were eventually hanged. Other statistics show similarly large proportion of convictions and execu- tions, But in recent times the reverse appears to be true In the three years 1890, 1891 and 1892, out of total of 271 persons indicted for murder, but sixty three were convicted and only thirteen suffered the death penalty. The ratio of convictions to trials had declined, in the course of sixty-five years, from about ninety per cent. to twenty three, while the ratio of executions to trials had declined during the same period from more than fifty-six per cent. to less than four
 In the course of his investigations Mir Curtis gathered material from many countries where capital punish ment has been abolished, and the tes- timony is conflicting Brazil reports that capital punishment has been abolished for all crimes, and no in- crease has been noted in criminal sta tistics."

POISONOUS BOSTON GAS.

The many deaths in Boston by as phyXiation have directed sharp atten- ton to the nature of the gas furnished, and it is likely that a legislative in quiry will result. Figures furnished by Dr. Draper for the district in which he Is the medical examiner show twen- ty-four accidental deaths by asphyx- iation in 1896. This is considerably over a third of the total number of such deaths in the district for eighteen years, while the first month of 1897 furnishes many more evidences of the peril. The increase in mortality is claimed to be co-incident with the use of water gas. This latter is much more insidious than the old kind. There was chance Uf resuscitation in cases of partial asphyxiation by coal gas, but the water gas poisons the system in a very brief time. Dr. E. s. Wood of the Harvard Medical school says that water gas contains as a rule about 40 to 50 per cent. of hydrogen, 50 to 40 per cent. of carbonic oxide, and about 10 per cent. of petroleum or naphtha gas. As it Is comparatively devoid of odor, it's escape from pipes and diffu- sion through the air of an inhabited room in dangerous amount cannot be readily detected. Carbonic oxide, Dr. Wood says, is one of the most active of poisons, producing, when inhaled, speedy death, and, according to Leb- lanc, one volume of it diffused through 100 volumes of air totally units 1t to sustain life It is suggested by Dr. Wood that the addition to water gas of more petroleum gas would very greatly diminish the danger by imparting to the mixture a very powerful odor.
 There is still some smell to New Ha- ven gas.
