+ Many respectful and delicate tributes
are being and will be paid to the memory
of Victoria the Good in the United States,
but among them all We venture to say
that none will be found to compare in
beauty of diction. or in comprehensive
ness OF thought and expression, with the
following. written by the Hon Frederic
r. Coudert, OF New York:
''Queen Victoria acclimated the domestic viz
tues to the atmosphere of court Vice shrank
shame-faced from her uncongenial presence Her
immediate predecessors had not made virtue
fashionable. George III meant we'll, but as he
always lacked intelligence and sometimes reason
his example counts for little.
Perhaps there has been more glory in a
sixty-yesr sermon Of beautiful life than there viii
be in high-sounding epitaphs recalling the great
of the Empress-Queen. The moral tone OF
the worid has been raised by yictorias example;
good women the world will bless her mem
DRY for enhancing the dignity of their sex.
TO us IF the United States she was loyal
friend. We shall not soon forget that her royal
hand mitigated the brutality OF her Minister 5
pen when our national life trembed in the bal
ance She then earned the benetliction promised
peacemakers.
III much blood was shed during her reign and
the lust OF land and gold drove her Government
into indefensible adventures, we must remember
how small was her real authority. Her sceptre
was a badge OF everything but power; her crown
was a !eweed fiction which Elizabeth would have
sSornen -

But yesterday a sorrowipg Empire and

Probably few OF the younger generation
in this country have read the late Queen
Victorias journal in the Highlands" 1t
is the narrative of happy and eloudless
young married days, when the now
stricken Empress Frederick was little
girl, and "Vickys legs" hung down ridic-
ulcusly as the gillie carried her over the
stream, and when Edward VII was a baby
in arms. II one wants to know the Queen
with her crown of. and her awful state
sent to her banker to be kept in his
vaults until the end of her holiday. it
will be well to get this book and read
how great monarch may be at the same
time. when off duty, the healthy young
gentlewoman, wife, and mother, full of
the joys of love and nature, and lux
uriating in both. II is plaintive to think
what few years of unalloyed happiness
this noble lady was to be permitted.
But she was a good and true soldier. She
fought the fight and never finched from
the place in which it had pleased AL
mighty God to station her, until, in the
course of lifes battle. it came her time
to fall by the shaft of the unerring
archer, Death. Peace to her pure SOUL

Capitol butiGfnS improvements
An extension OF the Capitol Building on

The Death Penalty in Kansas

The Death Penalty in Kansas
Kansas should come out flat-footed either
for or against capital punishment" said
RepI sentative Curtis yesterday. There
is too much shilly- shaliying about the
present laws OF criminal punishment, es-
pecially the punishment of the higher
crimes. Kansas is neither one thing nor
the other and shirks most woefully it's
duty toward the community in respect
of law breakers. The present method of
disposing of criminals condemned to death
is inadequate in the extreme and illogl-
cal. In the State penitentiaries now
there are about 500 conyicts under SEN
tenoe of death. a sentence which under
the present arrangement will never be
carried out upon them. They represent
the aggregate of murderous criminals con-
demred to suffer the life penalty during
period of about thirty years. Within that
time there have been few, If any. hangings
within the State. The present law ope-
rates thus: The criminal convicted of
murder in the open court is consigned for
one year to the pententiary. After that
year is up the Governor of the State is
at liberty TO sign the mans death war
rant If a criminal has any influential
lrlenuS at ali ne can lnueunltely stay the
Governors action. Hence it Is a long
time since the death penalty has been in
fiicted, and the murderers. hold-ups. and
sandbaggers have collected within the
prison walls. No Governor of this day
who knows but little, IL anything. of the
cases would put his name to the death
warrant in any one of them. l belieye in
capital punishment for some crimes. and
| believe also that the judge and jury be-
fore whom the case is tried should pro-
nounce the final judgment and see that ii
is carried out, not the Governor. A re-
vusion of feeling has come about. prob
ably through this Leavenworth lynching.
Where there is no death penalty pre-
scribed by law. the people take the mat
ter into their own hands when they think
the circumstances warrant.
