THE EXECUTION OF CRIMINALS.

Two murderers were executed in lIa-
vana last week and the grisly business
was performed in way which gave
no hint of the introduction OF Ameri-
can ideas. In the first place, the Grim
inals were garroted. method OF in
flicting the death penalty which, though
thoroughly Spanish, Is about as good
as any, and preferable to some, hang
Ing included. even il hanging is stiii
considered good enough in most parts
pf the United States.
The garrote is rapid, and in all
probability humane, AZ regards the
amount OF pain inflicted while the
spectacle presented to the onlookers
Is as little terrible as man killing can
hc made. but another characteristic
of the executions was not so commend
able, The cxecutioner was a fellow
prisoner OF the condemned men. and
he did the work for reward consist
ing partly OF gold and partly of Il
Communication OF his sentence for
minor crime.
Such delegation Of duty Is an an
achronism. and its implications are ut
terly out Of harmony with the modern
conceptions of justice. The hangman
or headsman of other days was viewed
with adherence. and properly enough
for he was usually the servant of des-
potic and irresponsible power, Staying
the innocent as willingly and perhaps
as often. as the guilty, Now the death
penalty. at least in theory. Is inflicted
only as n dreadful necessity and for
the protection of society. and In recog-
milton OF these facts the work Is done
by the holder of an honorable Office as
one of his regular duties. To intrust
II to criminal Is in a way to admit
that the task Is base as we'll as re-
pnlsive, and is no more reasonable
than would be the calling In of a Jail
bird to take the place of the Judge in
pronouncing sentence. II Cuba prefers
the garrote to the rope or the electric
current. the choice Is not indefensible.

To Favor Exclusion

Ex-Comptroller Eckels In An inter
view at Washington the other day said
he would not be surprised II the next
national Democratic platform should
contain paragraph congratulatlng the
country on the establishment of the
single gold standard
The usually level head Of Mr.. Eckels
must be getting topsy turvey. The
Democracy OF the country will In 1904
In all probability acquiesce In accom-
plished facts. but it will certainly not
stultify Itself Such course would
bring 1t neither honor nor victory.
Mr.. Eckeis Is more sensible and more
Democratic when he says:
Tariff reform and reciprocity are
likely to be made issues In 1904 by the
failure of the Republican Congress to
meet the demands OF the present In
dustrial situation. II may seem early
TO predict that the Republicans will
faii, but there are some Indications
that the interests which oppose reyl-
sion will prevail with the Republicans.
The tariff has subserved It's purpose
In certain influences and has built mp
Industries which are amply able to
stand without any artificial support.
This support is drawn from the people
OF this country; II means additional
taxes Yet II rebounds often to the
benefit OF the foreigner. The tar'fY
must be revised. II Its friends fall to
DO 1t there are others who will. The
money is pillng up In the treasury.
This calls for a reduction OF the reve-
nue. taxes. A large surplus Is a menace.
IL is standing temptation to extra
vagance and corruption.
Undoubtedly questions OF taxation
will be In issue In 1904. There will be
no reductions OF the tariff by the pres
entCongress and no reciprocity treaties
will be ratified by the Senate an It is
now constituted, Notwithstanding the
attitude of Presidents Mckinley and
Roosevelt. The protected monopolies
which supply the campaign funds for
the Republican party will not permit

The Democratic party in 1904 will
stand for tariff reform. 1t will attack
Subsidies and all forms of class legls-
iation. 1t will Insist that the Consti-
tuition must be supreme In all Amer
lean Territory. II will be on the right
side OF all public questions. But It will
eat no dirt.

WAS given out.
But when the "RaJah of ltanJit ana

New York he was recognized. Hun.

saw him. Until last May mis- face was

ton In the administration of the State
governments, II Is In those OF the
great cities that the most outrageous
and astounding corruption Is found In
the handling Of public affairs.
II has been well said that cities are
ulcers on the body polite A great
center Of population breeds vice and
crime, and these infect all who are
brought in any intimate and continued
contact with their noXious influence.
People who would in the country be
ordinarily decent and reputable when
brought in close communication with
the wee and crime OF great city are
too often poisoned In mind and soul.
and they yield, only to swell the ranks
OF the criminals and the Vicious.
But even in cities, II has been dem
unstrated, that the better element Is
always In the majority. In some cities
no extent OF criminal misyOyernment
can offset partsanship. Philadelphia
is an example of this. 1t IS not credit
able to Philadelphia that while Tam
many has b"cn overwhelmed with de-
feat In New York Philadelphia has
once more succumbed to machine rule.
In both cities the contest was waged
tor right for decent government, for
personal liberty and for political
morality In both il was contest
against the false and pernicious notion
that a great city must be governed by
a machine IN the interest of party.
While In New York large majority
of the Democrats contributed 20 the
overthrow of Tammany, in philadel-
phia u great majority of the Republi-
cans supported corrupt machine in
spite of the manifold evidence OF its
malfcasances.
In New York the foreign born Gle.
ment, which natlVism SO much affects
to dread, largely ranged itself on the
side of good government, while In Phila-
delphia the native element is always a
powerful prop OF machine misrule,

Gen. Louis Botha, the commander

Englishman carrying arms. IL this

the curtain Is down on the tragedy

occasional glimpse can be had of the
horrors OF the situation In the land

confirms the suspicion that the war Is
one OF mercless retaliation by both
sides.
This means d savage carnival OF

desolation. the rapIne and the cruelty,

NAV Build a Railroad.

Mandan, N: D., Feb. 6.-The Mercer
County Land Co. held a meeting and is
seriously considering a proposition to
run a railroad from New Salem on the
Northern Pacific to it's lands which lie
about t%hirty-fve miles north. The com
pany has $4,000 acres, and its scheme is
to construct a choap trolley line for pass
engers and freight. During good crop
years there would be several hundred
thousand bushels of wheat to transport
to market that would come along this
line in preference to the uncertain and
expensive boats that come down the
Mis- souri,. There is an abundance of
coal along the proposed route which
could be used for generating electricity
to propel the cars.
The farmers who have been approach
ed have consented to donate the right OF
way and much of the grading would be
done free of charge. There would be an
entire absence of heavy grades along the
road. Insurance Commissioner Leutz,
who is president of the company, is en-
thusiastic over the project.
