the work Of Improvement would pro-

den upon the interested companies at
one time.
One method proposed is out OF the
question because OF charter provisions.
iut it seems SO reasonable that IL
merits attention. 1t was suggested that
the city make a contract, as it does In
the case Of local Improvements, for the
whole SYSTEM, issuing local improve
ment bonds. payable in ten-year Install
ments. This would enable the COM
panies to pay about $4,000 year. The
scheme Is irnpractieabIe because the
the great security afforded In local inn
proyemeuts, the lien upon the benefited
real estate, would be wanting in this
case.
The excellent intention of the city
council meets with general favor, which
will not be Iessened by such leniency as
shall secure the improvement without
intiicting undue hardship upon the In
situations upon which the cost is arbi-
trariiy imposed.

The figures from the ST. Paul Pioneer
Press published In this paper yesterday,
reviewing the expenditures and earnings
Of the Great Northern railway for the
eight fiscal years ending In 1893, would
have been useful reading for the state
legislature when the freight rate reduc-
ton was under consideration and the
railroads were eloquentiy setting forth
their inability TO submit to the proposed
tariff notifications.
During the past eight years, accord
ing 10 these figures, the Great Northern
has steadily increased its earnings in
spite OF a steady decrease In freight
charges. In iss9-si. when the ton-rnile

the year upon which the roads based
their showing at Olympia. the ton-naile
revenue had fallen To $685.. but the
train-miie revenue had risen to s2.s9 In
other words, the charge by ton de-

number OF miles over which tons were
carried in the fiscal year Of ls9o-91 was

banded to more than three times that
number. or 1887 .s55. SEA The number of
train miles Increased in the same lapse
OF time from 3.1k.54o to s,l27.lss. and
the train load grew from 1871 to 3ls
BY the reduction OF revenue upon each
ton OF freight. l. e., by the reduction of
charges, the Great Northern vastly en-
larged It's gross tonnage and materially
advanced it's earnings. which liz exactly
the result the friends Of grain-rate re-
ductions In this state claimed would be
the outcome OF the enactment of the
LaFollette- Runner bill BY lowering
the cost OF transportation to the farm

have been encouraged and the railroads
themselves would have been the gain

pie.
Railroad lobbying against reasonable
legislation Ia costly and shortsightea
folly which should be eliminated from
the policies of the Western railroad
companies.

are alarmed at the fa..ure Of the iegisla-
ture TO elect a successor to- Senator White.
They argue that the failure Will result in
the election o. a Democratic Legislature
two years hence. And are, therefore, anx-
ious that Gov. Gage should call an extra
session. Gov. Gage declines TO make pub

conceded by politicians OF both parties that
the governor will cali an extra session De-
fore the meeting OF congress.

MRS. PLACES EXECUTION

The execution Of Mrs. Place a; Sing
Sing Monday morning raises again the
old question whether the iniiction Of
capital punishment tends to the dimin-
ution of capital crimes. 1t may be that
the execution of a woman-a most I'M
usual occurrence--in New York Will
have q tendency 10 deter other women
In that state from committing crime
which may result in death sentence
so long as Gov. Roosevelt holds his
present position. He has demonstrated
his belief that a woman's sex should not
her nlisdeeds. and, as women are high
~ impressionable ii is certain the Oh
ject lesson viii not be lost upon those
who might be tempted TO commit a
crime if they believed their sex would
serve to mitigate the penalty.
AS long as it is the law OF a state
that q person convicted OF muir
der shall suffer capital punishment.
the sex OF the criminal should
not be permitted TO nuilify the
law Probably there has never been IN
this country an execution conducted
more humanely. with more considera-
tlon for the feelings Of the condemned
and with less unsyrnpathetic publicity
than that Of Mrs. Place. Yet the story
Of the killing Of this woman by law IS
horrible to a sensitive soul. one can but
feel the utmost compassion for the
woman--murderess though she was-as
she was led half fainting 20 the death
chair and her life deliberately taken By
the officers OF the law
After all. the real question at issue Is
not as 10 whether 81 woman should re-
ceive the same extreme penalty as is
visited upon man. but whether the IN

Daily camera., 1899-01-06
Harry Corson Clarke,

Society will be represented at the
Temple tomorrow night on the occasion
of the first appearance here of the bril-.
liant young comedian, Harry Corson
Clarke, who is one of natures genluses
in his chosen profession.
His record of triumphs in San Fran
cisco during the past two years is re
markable one, he having played some
forty different and distinct parts in that
city and has yet to have recorded against
him one failure or one adverse criticism.
He is now at the head of his own COM
pany, presenting the great laug citing sue
cess "What Happened to Jones" one of
the wittiest and most intensely amusing
comedies written in years. 1t is great
New York and London success and Mr..
Clarke has secured the western rights
1t is unnecessary to state that be has
been very successful in the farce anG
the theatres invariably have been crowd
ed, his reception in many instance
amounting to an ovation.
He has gathered about him most ex
cellent company and will no doubt, be
greeted by full house here.
