GRIGGs on LEGISLATION.

Former. Attorney General Griggs
stated that the talk Of amending the
constitution to deal with the stu
alton which arises out of the shoot.
ing of President Mckinley is unnec-
essary. "a law should be passed, u
he said, making it an offense pun
ishable by Imprisonment for life to be
a mem Der of any organization that
teaches the murder of public officials.
1t should be made a capital offense
TO attempt the life of a chief execu-
tive and The higher officers of the
government, whether il succeeds or
not. This is not like ordinary at
tempted murder. The object of the
crime is the subversion of the gov
eminent, and is therefore aimed at
every citizen of the republic.
Another law should be passed
prohibiting the importation into this
country of ali persons who are mem
bers of organizations that hold and
teach these murderous doctrines, and
still another providing for the de-
portation of all such persons.
The suggestions coming from so
eminent legal authority are import
ant and would seem if adopted Just
about as they are stated to meet the
public idea of the requirements OF the
situation

WI TING FANG, Chinese minister,
commenting on the shooting Of the
president, said: 1--WE would consider
such q man a parricide, and would
deal with him as the ancient laws of
Confucius direct. He would suffer
the 'ling-chi' or the death of 1000
cuts. They are made with the saber.
Not only would he be executed in this
manner, but all of his blood. The
family of this parricide and traitor
would be exterminated. 1t is the
worst of crimes to kill ones parents,
but to try to kill the father of the
country is as bad, so we think"

TIE NEW GALVESTON.

Galveston is to build q great sea
wall of stone along the coast front to
protect the city from the ravages of
the waves. The new Galveston is a
great city. 1t is destined to be
greater. Statistics show that during
the season of 1900-1901 the city did
more business by far than during the
season of 1899-1900 and there is every
evidence that the presentraPid growth
and improvement will continue. The
Galveston disaster, horrible as it was
at the time, has, in q commercial
way, proved a benefit to the city
rather than detriment. Thus is it
emphatically proved that cit is an i'll

token not all are optiinis1s. Three OF
them from the samp township were in
town this morning and came together
in a group. One of them whose APP
pearance indicated that he was at
peace with all the world, said that
his corn was in first class condition
and would shuck out so bushels to
the acre. Another said that he was
in hard luck and that if he got Is
bushels per acre he would be doing
mighty well. In addition to his as
sertion he looked the part.
II feel sorry for you," remarked
the hopeful farmer, condolingly. land
I'll try and help you out. I'll give
you the present market price for your
field at 10 bushels to the acre and take
my chances of less corn and smaller
price later on"

and take the chance myself" replied
the man of many cares.
"Well, I'll go some better. I'll
give you the present market price
and call it 80 bushels to the acre"
mo; can't say that Pm prepared
to take that offer. but IL you'll double
up again and make it 90 bushels I'll
think it over tonight and let you

told at the corners, would take the
