BURNED AT THE STAKE.

The terrible punishment last week-death

Colorado, who outraged and murdered
little white girl at Limon recently, indicates
that blood in this matter, as well as in 9th.
ers, is thicker than water, and that the
South is not the only section in which such
disbollcal crimes cause frenzy of popular
resentment. 1t is thought by many persons
in Colorado that the law might have been
allowed TO take its course but for the fact
that capital punishment has been abolished
10 that State, and that imprisonment for life
was the severest legal sentence that could
have been pronounced for this unspeaksbly
atrocious crime Be that as il may, the
swift and dreadful vengeance taken by the
white people of Colorado carries with it O
significant and solemn warning "Ssvages,
Mrs. <. H. Merrill, Of the Syracuse Mothers
Club, is quoted as saying In commenting on
the case, "will meet the fate Of savages"-
Mr.. Clark Howell, Of the Atlanta Oonstitu
ton, expresses the same idea when he says
editorially: "There Is one crime the negro
knows he must not commit, and in commit.

legal process If conservatism prevails, by
mob violence If desperation series a com.

and Illinois, or even in the East, just as II
does In the South"

Congressional Measures.

Seven of the features of the Republican
legislative program for the second session Of
the Fifty. sixth Congress are the Army Re.
organization bill, the Reapportionment bill,
the lsthmian Canal bill, the Ship Subsidy
bill, the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty, the Spoon
or Philippine resolution, and the revision of
the War Revenue law.
II is not TO be understood that these meas
ures are to be disposed Of in the order here
named, but the indications are that they
will all be disposed of before the adjourn
ment on March A. This has been the pro-
gram of the Republican leaders ever since
the election, and there is Substantial una.
nimity among them There is some differ
ence OF opinion on two or three matters,
particularly as TO whether the Reapportion
ment bill should be accompanied by a pro.
vision for cutting down the representation
of the South what the amount of the war
revenue reduction ought to be how large
an army should b, provided for, and wheth
er the Nicaragusn bill should be passed be.
Senate and contract made between this
Government and those of Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA under the terms of which the
United States shall become absolute owner
of the canal when built.
The canal bill is on the calendar as a
special order for December 8, and until re.
Gently it was the plan to push it to vote
promptly. 1t was also the plan Of the Ad-
ministration to propose the reduction of the
war taxes TO the amount of $4,000 900.
Recently, however, II has been urged upon
the President aud the members of the Cabi-
net that the canal bill should be withheld
until the way can be paved for its passage
by the ratification of the treaty and the
making of the contract referred to, and this
will probably be done although it is said
there is no doubt that the bill will be passed
IN both Houses before adjournment.
Nothing definite will be decided as to the
amount of the tax reduction until the com,
mittee shall have considered the subject.
Among politicians 1t is said that it is quite
likely that the most stubborn contest will
be upon the Subsidy bill, for this measure

BE THANKFUL.

How greatly 10 be envled lie he whose
heart lie filled with thanksgiving Not only
has he something for which to be thankful,
but, better yet, he recognizes the value Of
his possession and rejoices 10 it, thus be,

the object attained which gives pleasure,
but the light In which we regard III A trip

in themselves be innocent Of any intent TO

as q misfortunef When you have discov
cred the answer to that question you will
have found one OF the most carefully con.
cealed Of the many keys that open the doors
of true happiness, and ever sfterwsrd you
may taste at will OF the joys that come to
the truly thankful heart. There is nothing
that can make one feel much better than a
heart full OF gratitude. 1t lifls one far above
petty vexations, for time, To plane where
one can look down upon the world and call
1t beautiful. Ii is only necessary 10 get a
very little distance away from everyday
cares in order to see how greatly we have

effect the temporary separation SO quickly
as gratitude.

contribute our share to its proper observ-

pressions OF Joy and gratitude greater than
the unthinking realize. JOY is infectious.
II creates an atmosphere that is good To live
In.
Those highly organized individuals who
become too happy for words are not Of very

1890, In Washington, d. G aud resided to-
gether In Montgomery county, Maryland,
until sometime in October, 1895, when with
out any just cause the defendant deserted
and abandoned the plaintiff, although his
conduct towards her had always been XII nd
shecliona,e, and above rep zach, and that
she declared her intention to live with him no
longer, that said abandonment has continued
uninterruptedly for at least three years, aud
is deliberate and final, and the separation Of
the parties is beyond any reasonable expecta-
ton of reconciliation.
That the plsintiff aud defendant have had
no children born TO them as the result of said
marriage
That the defendant is a non-res dent of the
State of Maryland.
1t is thereupon, this 10th day Of October

CAPITAL PUNLsHMENT

AT their last meeting, the Progressive
Women Of America discussed capital pun
ishment and the attitude which women
should maintain concerning it. The dis.
cussion brought out marked differences 10
opinions, and in some instances consider
shle warmth in expression, and at its close
the members were so nearly equally divided
in sentiment that 1t is difficult to outline the
views OF the majority.
On one side II was commended that the
subject must not be discussed from the stand
point of a theory, simply, but rather with
respect to conditions as they are, and that
when thus viewed, II must be conceded that
in capital punishment lies the greatest safe.
guard to civilization yet discovered. 1t was
also commended that 1t had the sanction OF
high authority-its principle being, In fact,
the basis Of the old law, "sn eye for an eye
and tooth Tor tooth" and II was further
more claimed that 1t having existed for 80
many years should be taken as proof Of its
value as a safeguard for society Nor can
u w 0bucI tCu tuht thC bOohu pCuuity uOOc uul
exert deterrent influence, simply because
all crime has not ceased, since 1t can never
he known how much more crime there
might have been had not death been fixed
as the penalty for certain crimes.
The opposition claimed that capital pun
ishment was not in line with advancing
civilization. that we had outgrown 1t. that
ian eye for an eye" &C., was flt for time
when brute force was the rule, and more
humane punishment would have been mis-.
understood, and that II was quite as absurd
To try To apply 1t to present times as 1t would
be to go back to other customs which civi
iization no longer tolerates, 1t was asserted
that there are plenty Of statistics to prove
that crime has not diminished in States
where the death penalty is enforced, and
that there is a sold foundation Of truth in
the homely saying. "One hanging makes
many"

GOOD APPOINTMENT.
John w. Mason Succeeds the Late Judge
John Marshall Hagans.

Governor Atkinson has made a
good selection in appointing JohnW.
Mason, of Fairmont, to fill the va
cancy in the Second Judicial Dis
trlct caused by the death of Judge
Hagans, of Morgantown. The law.
yers of the circuit nearly all united
in asking for the appointment of
Judge Mason. The latter has held
Court several times for Judge Ha.
gans, and also in this circuit for
Judge Holt, and makes good
Judge. The appointment will only
hold good till the coming election.
when some one will be elected, most
likely Judge Mason, if he wants the
office.
Judge Mason, VINO is now about
So years, when youth was SOL
dier in the Union army and remained
in the service until the close of the
war between the States. He studied
law and has been successful in his
profession. He later on develor ed
taste for politics. and in 1879 was
made Chairman of the Republican
State Executive Committee of West
Virginia and served four years. He
served eight years as member of
the National Republican Executive
Committee from this State, and in
1882 he was Republican candidate
TOR Congress in the Second Con-
gressional district. In 1888 he was
on the Republican ticket for a SUI
preme Judgeship, but he failed of
election, as the Democrats carried
the State. Under President Har-
rison's administration Mr.. Mason
was appointed to the office of Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue. He
is member of the Presbyterian
Church, and is a genial companion.
Judge Mason married a Miss Wal
lace, of Morgantown, some years
ago, and has very interesting
family.
