According to this showing the number
of murders in this country has decrease
about two-hfths since 1853, bur the num-
Der OF executions is practically the same.
IN 1880 "A murderer ran about on" chance
IN eighty of being hung. but in 1899 this
chance was one in about forty seven. 1t Is
true that al executions are not for muir
dor, .but the proportion IS about the same
In different years and cannot appreciably
affect the argument. The figures prove
directly the contrary to what the oppC-
nents of capital punishment claim, so that
the argument as to the rcluc tanCe of wit
neeses to testify and of juries to convict
in murder cases falls Ia the ground. The
ether argument as To- the barharism Of
hanging IL no more tenable. The oppo-
nontS of the death penalty say that cX-
ccutions horrifY ard hrutaizc the sensi-
tive and the young This may have been
truc when they were held in public, but
humanizing influences have surrounded
them with privacy and in some States
have substituted the electric chair for the
galioWs.
Five states in the Union have abolished
capital punishment. Trey are Colorado
Maine, Michigan, Rhode Island and Wis

restored it. The action of all these Stat, s.
eNcept Colorado, was taken from twenty

State and ii cannot he cited AS an eX-
ample. 1t is fair to conclude, then, that
there has been no recent growth or pubic
sentiment in this country against capital
punishment. The frequency Of lyncning
is another proof of the popularity Of
/ hanging the mob taking the law into its
own hands from the fear that the courts
viii not infiict adequate punishment. The
advocates of abolishing the death penalty
are not evidently making any progress. If
they would turn their efforts to urging
the substitution of the electric chair for
the gdllOws some results might be
reached.

Members of the house tell me that
there is one great change in the office
of speaker that is very agreeable to
them. They feel that when Majority
wants to get Il measure through the
hous" there will be no arbitrary oppo-
sition. For instance, the friends Of
the Nicaragua canal bill have not the
least doubt about securing considera-
ton for that bill. Frank Eddy of MIN
nesota and Dennis Flynn Of Oklahoma
are sure that their free homes bills will
be given considera ton at this session,
something that was denied in the last
session because they did not meet the
approval OF the speaker.

is their first stopping place in their
search for new fortunes.
Two German ships left Lorenzo

Beers. They were closely followed by
two French ships with $50 souls from
the Transyaal, mostly women and
