Abnormal sentimentality.

The bill Of Representative Berry of Whit
field county, the purpose of which is to
discriminate between the male and female
murderers to the benefit of the latter, is
based upon a sickly sentimentahty, is
wrong in principle, and should not be pass
ed The bill provides that no woman shall
be hanged for murder unless by especial
direction of the jury. On the other hand,
it is provided in the statutes that MUIR
derers shall suffer death unless recon-
mended by the jury to the mercy of the
court. With the Berry bill made law and
of force, We should have one kind of law
for men and another kind for women. We
should have a premium put upon the crime
of murder when committed by a woman.
We should have IL written into our stat
utes, virtually, that we regard woman as
an inferior creature, not TO be held as
strictly accountable for her acts as man is
held.
It is a very fine and admira BILE senu-
ment which teaches respect for and ten
derness towards women in the ordinary af-
fairs of life, and that sentiment deserves
10 be conserved and strengthened. But
when a woman commits a heinous crime,
and especially the crime of murder, she
puts herself beyond the pale of sentiment,
and should be treated precisely as any
other criminal of the same class under the
law. 1t is no compliment to the sex to
excuse woman of criminality because
she is woman. On the other hand, it is
an affront to, a reflection upon, the sex.
1t Is equivalent to saying a woman is NOR
ally Inferior to a man; that she has not as
high a sense Of law and right and justice
as man, and, therefore, ought to be ia
vored because of her natural shortcomings.
What woman would accept as true any
such proposition? What man would as
sert such a proposition to a woman of in
tellgence?
1t is said the governor desires the Berry
bill passed, in order that he may have its
backing when he comes to grant a COM
mutation of sentence or pardon to Mrs.
MOBILES. Does he lack the moral courage
to say yes" or NO. upon the merits
of the case? Have the appeals for Berres-
ford, and Perry, and others taken the
starch out of his backbone? In that case
1t is a board of pardons, and not a Berry
bill that is needed. There should be no
drawing of a sex line through the Grim
inal laws.

The Silver Issue.

Some of the western republicans differ
with Congressman Dingey as to what the
issues in the congressional campaigns next
fall will be. In his paper, the Lewiston
(Me) Journal, Mr.. Dingley said recently
that the contest would be along the free
silver lines of 1896 Ex-Speaker Keifer,
who was speaker of the House more than
a dozen years ago, but who is still quite
prominent in Ohio politics, says the free
silver coinage may be an issue in Maine,
but that it is no longer much of an Issue
in Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska and some of
the other western states.
We are inclined to think that Mr. Ding
ley is much nearer being right than Mr.
Keifer is. Mr. Keller Notwithstanding
his prominence in politics, Is not now, and
has never been, far-seeing politician. 1t
has always been about as much as he could
do to understand what was going on in the
political field round about him When he
has made predictions respecting the flu
ture he has been, almost Invariably,
wrong.
1t is doubtless true that there is not as
much interest felt in the free silver issue
now as there was during the national cam
paign of last year, and it may not be a
very live issue in 1900, but it will have life
enough to play an important part in the
congressional campaigns next year.
The real live issue in the congressional
campgns will be the Dingley tariff unless
that tariff proves TO be a much better rev.
enue raiser than it has yet. The republi-
can party said the Dingley tariff would
give the country ample revenue. 1t is not
doing it, and if new sources of revenue are
not provided the chances are that there
will have TO be a bond issue. To Issue
bonds for the ordinary expenses of the
government, particularly as the republi-
cans promised so much for the Dingley
tariff, would be almost like turning con-
gress over to a democratic majority The
republicans would rather have free silver
as the issue in the congressional cam
paigns than their fnanciering

That Sooner army in Kansas which
has served notice upon the Secretary of the
Interior that it's members intend to in
wade the Indian lands in Oklahoma and
take what they want, with or without the
consent of the government, should, and

The "sooners" assume that the Indians
have no rights which they are bound to
respect, and that the government will back
down before bluff. If the leaders of the
'sooners" Were put in Jail for while
they would probably come to more rea-
sonable view of things.

The debt of the struggling little church
in the suburbs had all been paid off but
$500, says the Chicago Tribune.
A clergyman noted for his skill and
success in raising church debts had been
sent for and was conducting the morn
ing service. The sermon was over, and
the work of stirring up the audience to
the requisite pitch of enthusiasm had be-
gun. Subscriptions rose rapidly to $500
then to $40o and, after considerable effort
to $500, where they stuck. In vain the

cation appeared to have been reached
