1t won't be very difficult to invent
excuses, more or less plausible, for not
living up strictly TO the pledge we made
in regard to Cuba when we went to war
with spain. 1t can be said, as 1t is
being said in some quar- ters, that as we
destroyed tine existing govern ment 1t is
our duty to see that one Is set up and
maintained that will be able to preserve
the peace OF the island and gaii1ll all In
tsrnational obligstions, and on the plea
that H. IS -,,.sssary to see that such a
government is not only set up, but main
tained, we can keep our army there
indefinitely. But 1t is going TO he very
difficult To convince any body that euch
excuses are anything more than plausi-
ble. That they have any real standing
nobody will believe, not even the men
who invent them. We can't live up to
our declaration that the Cubans are by
right, aud ought 60 be. fras and indepen-
dent, by exercising any species OF guar.
dianship over TIA island, that Is not
asked by the Inhabitants. We can't live
up to our pleige to withdraw from the
island as soon as paeiHcation is secured
by pointing out that inasmuch as revolU-
tion may break out sope time In the
future, pacl1cAtion can never be declared
to be fully aTsured, and so We can re-
main there Indefinitely without breaking
the letter OF our pledge.

Attorney General knowlton in his ar
gument against the death penalty before
the Massachusetts legislature, In proof of
mis- assertion that the nature of the pen
atty has no deterrent effect upon the
man bent on murder, pointed to three
atrooious murders which were committed
Immediately after the conviction and
sentence to the gallows of a man for the
same crime, all OF them in the same county
where the conviction and sentence had
taken place. This certainly was pretty
strong piece of evidence In support OF his
theory. The three murderers, had just
had an object lesson of the risk they ran
both OF being caught, and Of going to
the gallows II they wers caught, yet no
appreciabie restraining influence was ex-
erted upon them. IL the sole purpose OF
punishment is to deter from crime, moth
ing, probably, is to be gained by reerect-
ing the gallows In this Stats. r pun
ishment that is retaliatory is sought.
then the galllows will answer the pur-
pose letter tAan life imprisonment. AS
retributive measure, hanging probably
much better tits the crime of murder
than imprisonment. But the deterrent
eifsot OF the latter is quite as great as
that OF the former, and of neither, we
fear. is 1t very much. just now there
seems to be u wave Of murder sweepingover
this State, and good many are attrib-
uting 1t to the lack of capital punish.
meut. A wave OF just the same kind
SWEET over the State when hanging was
In force, and the then governor
called attention to 1t In his mes
sage to the Legislature We are not at all
sentimental on this subject, and II there
were any satisfactory proof that murder
was less frequent under the death penalty
We should advocate Its restoration, but
we doubt the wisdom and advisability OF
restoring it without some proof OF this
kind. The death penalty renders 1t a
good deal more difficult to secure legal
convictions Of murderers Jurors bsing
so afraid that they may DO au irremedis-
BILE wrong as to give the accused the
benefit OF very shadowy doubts
