GRAND JURY'S SENSIBLE SUU-
OESTION.

A Baltimore press dispatch dated
Sept sth says;
The grand jury. upon being DIS
CHARGED to-day by Judge Dobler. in
the Criminal Court, made the follow
ing suggestion in its report:
The punishment Of death, whether
iudicially or illegally carried out
would be considered the most ei1ec-
tive punishment for rape when
could be inflicted; it having failed,
however. in its results, we would sug-
gest castration and imprisonment ID
all cases of conviction, instead OF
hanging.
This punishment, unquestlonably'
will prevent the criminal from again
committing this crime. and he VIII
become a marked object and a living
warning, which we think will cause
others of the same brutal pro-
pensities to hesitate before they give
way to their passions
We have long held the opinion that
punishment by death does not meet
the case for crime Of this kind.
Break the culprit's neck, or burn him
at the stake if you will, and the thing
i speedily over with and the example
soon lost upon others. SO we say
in view of past experience we DO
not believe hanging for rape meets
the case.
The punishment suggested by the
Baltimore grand jury would come
nearer to it we think, but it does net
90 far enough. In addition to thus
manning the criminal he should be
marked in some way so as to make
him readily recognized and his crime
read Of all men. This could be done
bv the cutting off Of both ears and
branding in the forehead. Nor should
he then be confined in prison but
turned loose.
This would be terrible punishment
to be sure but it would not be as bad
as taking the wretch's life either on
the gallows by due process Of law or
bv the slow and tortuOus methods
devised by mob violence. And GER
tainly this form of punishment would
be more lettering and the effect
more lasting. A man so marked
would be living, walking advertise
ment of his crime and the dreadful
penalty that would be inflicted upon
others guilty Of the same thing.
Such person would be hated, shun-
ned, despised-an object of contempt,
loathine and disgust, -abhOrred and
kicked out, made to move on from
place to place, friendless and alone,
a wanderer in the world looking for
sympathy and rest but finding none,
until at last, worn out and weary of
life, death would be courted as a
sweet boon and balm to his wretched
soul and an end put to his miserable
existence.
The GOLD LEAF believes the Balti-
more grand jury is moving out along
the right lines. Let the law be
changed to tit the case.

worthy citizen and consecrated

good ability and culture, most
faithful servant of God. was held in
high esteem by a great many people

ripe and waiting for the closing scene
and the blessed life beyond. We had
the pleasure of a personal acquaint-

COMMENTING on the last trouble
Claude Bernard has got himself into,
the Greensboro correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer, SAYS:
have not been able to find any
Republicans here who have SYM
pathy for United States District At
torney Claude Nj. Bernard in his
present trouble. They hold that his
dignity of manhood and legal acumen
are in no wise commensurate with
his proclivity for getting himself
and other people into difficulty.
They say that it would be remarkable
if a man with hot blood in his eyes
should cry aloud his own domestic
betrayal and attempt murder-all as
a part of political plot. One of
these Republicans added: For a
long time Bernard has held his office
only by thread. happen to know
that he is persona non grata with the
Mckinley regime. They are sure to
lift him now"

WIN Hassard. the i7-ycar-old son Of
W. q. Hassard Of 2i5 Eleventh

dent on Eighth East street last evening.
