NUMBER iS.
THE GOVERNORSHIP.

The following bit of political
news comes through special from
Baton Rouge to the Picayune
'There has already been good
deal OF talk about the next guber-
material contest. and the name Of
nearly every prominent man has
been mentioned in connection with
the democratic nomination. This
talk was started in New Orleans
and the names most prominently
mentioned have been Lieutenant
Governor Snyder, Senator Me
Emery, Justice Blanchard, ex-Con-
greSsman Price and Senator Law
rason. There are many men in
the party who still pin their faith
to Senator McEnery and think he
ought to be the next candidate.
There have been many rumors atloat
that he would come into the race, but
no word had been heard from him.
Some days ago Hon. John Herbert,
of Jefferson, addressed letter to
the senator, telling him of the ru-
mors and asking him if he would
be a candidate. To-day he received
u reply, from which the following
is an extract: ~ cannot now say
what my intentions are as to the fu-
tnre in the way of political life. tits
a long time off before a selection will
be made for governor and there is
no telling what may arise. After
all the whole matter rests with our
friends in New Orleans, and it is
premature to say anything before
they have declared their intentions.
have great and abiding faith in
their wisdom, and know they will
select a true and faithful man to
head the party"

THE HENRY GEORGE MONUMENT.

The proposed monument to be
erected on the grave Of the late
Henry George will, it is expected,
be finished in about ten days, Rich
ard George, son of the late author,
when seen yesterday, at his home
on the Shore Road, near Ninety
seventh street, Bay Ridge, who de-
signed the work, informed an Eagle
reporter that he thought everything
could be completed in that time.
The bronze bust of Henry George,
which was also designed by his son,
is handsome piece of work.
The monument is of Quincy gran
ite standing nine feet high. The
foundation supporting it is eight
feet wide. On the face Of the mOnu-
ment, which is in reality large
slab some sixteen inches thick, will
be two wreaths, one representing
the ivy leaf, in the center Of which
is inscribed the date of the late au-
thOr's birth. The other wreath will
represent the olive leaf, the date Of
death being in the center.
On apedestal rising up in front
of the monument will be the bronze
bust. The entire back of the gran
ite will have engraved on it q large
wreath in which will be inscribed
the following words, taken from
the concluding chapter Of the au-
thOr's greatest work, Progress and
Poverty:
"The truth that | have tried to
make clear will not find easy ac-
ceptance. II that could be, it would
have been accepted long ago. II
that could have been, it would never
have become Obscured. But it will
find friends those who will toll for
it; il need be, die for it. This is
the power Of truth. ."-BrooklyM
Eagle.

MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.

Public Opinion reproduces an
article from the Omaha Bee, from
which we CLEAN some statistics we'll
calculated to make this enlightened
country of ours hang it's diminished
head in shame.
AS is general y known, Australia
was first settled, and not SO many
years ago, as a penal station by
criminals who, perforce, "left their
country for their country's good"
and yet the method Of dealing with
felOns there now is characterized by
rapidity and thorough efficiency. It
is stated by the Bee that there were
but thirteen murders committed in
the colony in the last four years,
and for these crimes eight persons
were hanged and seven sentenced to
life imprisonment. The average
time from arrest to conviction was
about sixty five days, and from con-
viction to execution forty-five days.
In every case, that is, of a known
murder in the time mentioned, the
guilty persons have been either ex-
ecuted or sent to prison for life.
Nor is any mention made of a
pardoning power, which seems to be
rarely called into requisitiOn.
In 1894 there was one murder in
the colony for every 25O, 600 of po-
pulation, and in the years since the
average has been about one for
every 400, 600 Of population. Statis-
ties given for the United States tell
another tale. In 1894 there were
7,7OO murders, or about one for
every S,4OO Of population, and in
punishment Of these crimes there
were only one hundred and twelve
legal executions, and these after
delays Of months, and in most in
stances Of years. For the 5000
murders in 1895 there were but one
hundred and thirteen executions.
In more recent years murders have
been still more frequent, but neith-
er executions nor prison sentences
have increased. 1t is shown that
had the proportion Of murders in
the United States to population been
rs low as in New South Wales,
there would have been but one hun
dred and seventy-five murders in
1896, instead Of over 8, 900. A nOta-
BILE case is cited as illustrating the
difference between Australian and
American methods Of dealing with
criminals. 1t is that of Butler,
who some years ago murdered
several persons and fed to Califor-
mia, where he was caught. The ex-
proceedings in this coun-
try occupied one hundred and seven
teen days Of the courts time, when
the only question was one Of iden-
tification (Which, to any but the
astute legal mind, was clear Is noon
day) and the expense was $2S, 600,
while on his return to Sidney the
man was tried and convicted in two
lays and half.

A SHOCK TO Mr.. ROCKEFELLER.

The Senate's proposal to levy
tax of one quarter Of one per cen
upon corporations engaged in tn
refining of petroleum and sugar in
censes the Standard Oil Company
a monopoly which last year pal,
more than $3 600, 900 in dividends
It's leading attorney declares tn,
tax to be unjust and unconstitu
tional."
If the Standard Oil Company de
cides that this or any other meas
ure is unconstitutional, unconsti
tutlonal it is, and the tax will never
be paid. The courts seldom fail tl
discover that the constitutional law
OF the Standard Oil Company is
sound.
Surprise is manifested at the oil
trusts defiance of the Senate and
its prompt refusal to help pay the
expenses of the war with Spain.
But why should there be any sur
prise! The Standard Oil Company
has grown to be what it is by ignor-
ing all interests, public and private,
except it's own. 1t cant be expected
to have any respect for law, since
for many years it has defed the
laws which forbid conspiracies with
railroad companies in restraint of
trade, which provide penalties for
eXtortiOn and pronounce trusts to
be illegal. 1t knows how to violate
the civil and criminal law in its
methods of getting rid of cOmpeti-
tion, and then to provide itself with
Judges and juries that cannot be
persuaded Of its guilt.
1t is natural that the Standard
Oil Company should resent the at
tempt of Congress to lay the Gov
ernment's hand on any part of it's
colossal income. The trust is ac-
custOmed to taxing, not to being
taxed, and when an inferior power
like the Government of the United
States presumes to levy an impost
upon it, is it astonishing that it
should be astounded and indignant!
Such an assault upon sovereignty
the Standard Oil Company cannot
put up with quietly.
Not only will the Trusts view of
the unconstitutionality Of the tax
be upheld should the House concur
with the Senate, but learned men in
Mr.. Rockefeller's Chicago Univer-
sity will write articles for our very
best magazines pointing out that a
tax upon petroleum can be approved
by none save the enemies Of social
order, and Of our Christian civil
zatiOn itself.
1t is true that the prosecution of
the war with Spain to a successful
involves the national
honor, and that it is every citizens
duty to aid the Government to the
extent of his ability. Mr.. Rookie
Teller will agree to that as far as his
fellow citizens are affected, but as
for himself, he no doubt feels that
he did quite enough for the nation

GOVERNMENT SEED TESTING.

The act Of Congress making ap.
preparations for the Department OF
Agriculture for the fiscal year end.
ing June 30, 1899, under the head
ing "BOtanical Investigations and
Experiments, Division Of Botany" "
contains the following clause:
"The Secretary Of Agriculture is
hereby authorized to pure hase
samples of seed in open market,
test same and when found not up
to standard he may, at his discre-
ton, publish the results Of these
tests, together with the names of
the seedsmen by whom the seeds
were sold."
The purchase Of seeds for the
tests authorized under this act will
begin July l, 1898. It will be the
aim Of the Department of Agricul-
ture in carrying out this law to put
a stop to the sale Of seed so poor as
to make probable a positive injury
and loss to the purchaser, thus Civ
ing protection on the one hand to
the farmer and gardener, and on
the other hand to the honorable
scotsman and seed dealer.
Further information, including q
table Of the standards of purity and
DerminatiOn and n LIST Of the most.
injurious seeds likely to occur in
commercial seed, may be obtained

cation.
