Decline Of Capital Punishment.

Not only in New York and Massa-
chusetts. as we mentioned, the other
day. is the movement for the abolish
ment of capital punishment being re-
vived before the Legislature. this WIN
ter, but in Pennsylvania and Kansas
as we'll Many states in the Union
have no death penalty for crime. and
their number is steadily increasing. 1t
is also true that while murder has
been increasing in this country in re-
cent years, legal executions have not
increased at like rate. More muir
derers are punished, but not by death.
In this connection the Kansas City
Journal has compiled some figures
showing that neither is the death
penalty in favor among the harsher
governments of monarchial Europe. as
might be supposed Capital punish
ment has been entirely abolished in
Switzerland. Portugal, Roumania and
Holland. In Prussia executions are
very rare. Out of Asa in one decade
condemned to death, only one was exc
chted. Tuscany has had no execution
for over fifty years. and in Russia
capital punishment is retained only fo1
treason and military INSTRUMENTATION.
Belgium executed a criminal for the
last time in 1863 The number of
nurdprprS for tho decade alirlp
was 921, for the decade after, 103 In
Finland capital punishment has not
been inflicted since 1924, and murders
are extremely rare. In some other
European countries, while capital
punishment is still a part of the penal
code. it's infliction is extremely rare.
Austria, r,~ iretlEc-. t.4v3.-i only
sixteen Of SOC found guilty; Norway
executed three out Of fourteen in i
decade. and Sweden three out Of II r.
ty-two in the same period.
From all of which it appears ti.at
the old Mosaic doctrine Of an eye for
an eye and Il tooth for a tooth is
largely discredited in the closing years
of the nineteenth century. The d.
trine that state should revenge its If

pudiated, and the more humane the "

The Bubonic Plaque in Hawaii.

There are some people not yet re-
conciled TO the annexation of Hawaii,
and to these the news that the bubonic
plague has obtained Il foothold in
pleasure. They even enjoy exagger-
ating the extent to which the dread
disease exists in that city, in the hope
of convincing this country of the dan
gers which the Americanization oil
Hawaii brings us. A few days ago an
interview with man in Sioux city
was given to the press in which n"
claimed to have received private ad-
vices from Honolulu showing that the
real extent of the plague was kept
secret by the authorities and that
there were over a dozen deaths daily.
The reliability of his information was
at once questioned on all sides, and
now the Journal is able to present
some evidence at first hand which
completely Confutes it.

brought to this office, yesterday, a pri-
vate letter just received from his
cousin. Joseph Il. Atherton, formerly
of Massachusetts, now prominent
business man of Honolulu, in which
the bubonic plague conditions were
fully discussed. The letter was of 4
later date than that purportcd to have
been received by the Sioux City man,
and there can be no question that M
Anterior knew what he was writing
about There had been just 20 cases at
that time. all confined to the Chimes :
quarter. and the few deaths that had
occurred were all Of Chinese people.
The board Of health was taking heroic
measures to stamp out the plague,
using fire. quarantine ana disinfec-
tants and the city was confident that
it was under control. A copy of the
Honolulu Evening Bulletin of January

speaks Of the situation as 'reassur-
ing" with one new case and no deaths,
the previous day. As there is Yet no
cable 10 Hawaii this is the latest news
received. and shows how gross an eX
aggoration was that Sioux City dis
patch with its dozen deaths. daily"
The bubouic plague is a horrible
thing. Its ravagcs in China and India
have been terrible, beyond the COM
prchension Of American minds. occa-
sionally we get a scare in this country
when some ship arrives from an in
fected port, but our quarantine system
and health regulations are Il mishty

to fear from any such scOurge. Its
hold in Hawaii Will not be any source
of danger to our Pacific coast. Homo
lulu is remarkably healthy city, and
the plague will b. confined to the
chinese quarter and soon stamped out
And this will probably be another sore
disappointment to those cOntractionists
who objected to the acquisition Of
