TPlyE COURAGE. &

One of the most pathetic stories that
we have read Ia the story OF the suicide
in washington OF Judge Leonard II. Man
gum, OF Arkansas. He came from dis
tinguished North Carolina family. and
was a nephew of Senator Wiley p. Man,
gum who was prominent In southern
politics years ago, and one OF the most
distinguished OF North Cardinals distln-
guished sons, lie was Confederate SOL
dler and Democrat, and received an ap-
poIntment In the Treasury Department
under President Cleveland, He lost his
position when the Republicans came In,
but was reappointed to place In the
War Department. and afterwards trans
ferred to the Census Office through The
good Offices Ut Senator Berry. OF Arkan,
sas. AT tho time that Judge Mangum
was appointed. Senator Berry also sue,
ceeded In having woman from his STATE
placed In the Census Department. and
recently when retrenchment became ne,
cessary, the Senator was Informed tlut
one Of his appointees must be- removed.

The King Of Portugal, who recently en-
tertained King Edward. and especially his
son, represent an interesting mixture OF
royal blood. King Carlos Is only partially
Lat!nized. Ha Is not only a distant cous-
In OF King Edward. but he Is near
blood relation Of Prince Ferdinand OF Rou-
mania, The Grown Prince Of Portugal
represents a singular combination OF fam
lilies, as he Is partly Portuguese, German.
Italian and French. He has @ greater
mixture OF royal blood that any an other tFle.r

Ne, Distinctly decided that the prison
er be hanged until he IL dead. It $ts ex-
aotly similar to the case Of q man who
may be sentenced to Jail, but Who e o..
capes. IL reoaptured, ne uoes back to

nut Is this a parallel casef When a.
man escapes from prison. It is his 4, own VI
act, lie has not submitted to the law
nor served out the sentence Of the law s'''
But when Tic Is discharged from prison
by the officers OF the law, on the ground
that he has served out his sentence he is

III seems TO us that this was the case
WITH the Alabama negro who was hang
ed The court In pronouncatis sentence
said that he was to be hanged until ne
was dead. That Is until he had ceased to
live: Until he should be Il, that state IN,
which ali the functions Of life or OF UT vital n
powors had ceased to act. On the day Of
execution. tho sheriff proceeded to put put
that sentence into effect. He PLACED I: q
ropo around the neck Of the doomed man.
sprung the trap suspended the man be-,
tween heaven and earth and Kept him
suspended until the attending physician
declared that the prisoner was dead. that
the vital functions had ceased. that the
heart had stopped beating. that the pulse
had stopped throbbing, that the man had
ceased to breath. According to tho judg-
mont Of this expert who IN sense at
least was a representative Of the Jaw,
the sentence Of the court had been duly
executed, The man was to all apphr--
ances dead. Indeed, we may say that the.
mar, was dend. Ills body was then DE-
livered to friends and relatives and i
was publicly proclaimed that the law
was satisfied. ;iiso3 81
III But friends and relatives undertook to
bring the man to life; that's, to restore
the functions OF life to set the heart TO

put breath Into the lungs, and now the
man is alive again, according TO report. IS

DELINQUENT88 TAXES.

\ One OF the many dmirable PROVISIONS
IL senate bill No. o26, known as the Tor
rens bill, is that relating to the coiec-
ton Of taxes on registered real estate.
It must be apparent to any. one who will
take the trouble to read this bill that
IL passed. the Stat will never have 'tt any
dinlculty in promptly citing ~. all her
taxes 81, lands that may be brought un-.
der the act. And. While this is traie, great
care is also taken to protect the interests
Of the owner of the property, 50 that
in no event can he be deprived Of i
without direct personal notice and ample
gopnortunity4 to redeem T his alone ought
Ia recommend the bill to the Legislature
and insure its prompt Sc. 81 Butt 3 IN
addition to this, the act contains a
further provision, which will render IT
exceedingly, popular and beneficial to all
the people, and particularly to that large
class Of our citizens who have Invested
practically their whole fortune In an
humble home. For no real estate can
DO forfeited for the non-paymeitt OF
taxes under the Torrens. oil. III ~ Il
This is a new and gorglnel feature, in
troduced for the first time among civil
ICED men, 50 far as wesknow. IN the
Virginia bill. 1t corrects q great evil and
removes what the author terms "a blot
upon the civilization Of the twentieth
century. Instead ofssfo 81 land, as
has always been ;done hereto fore, this
Torrens bill provides thatdt shall be pub
licly sold for taxes TAT theSeSplration OF
Tho two years within which, redemption
ia allowed under the general law, after
| due advertisement, as sales are made
under deeds OF trust; that absolute title
shall be passed to the purchaser at the
sale a sound article being disposed OF at
lndynntageous public auction and that
the proceeds Of salo shall be applied.
Arst, to the payment Of al, ataxes and
leyies then, due. with interest, penalty and
costs ana thsn' to the satisfaction Of any
claims against the property. Including
honus of Ave dollars to the tax purchaser
at tho former sale, and lastly, that the
surplus shall be paid over to tho pre-
yious owner,
This is simple Justice, and the Won
der is that 1t has never been seen and
but into law before. Clearly the State
ought not to take more than what Is
due her, and she ought not to take the
property OF one citizen and attempt to
give 1t to another. When she sells real
estate for taxes she ought always to
PASS absolute title and to sell q sound ar.
| ticle; and. after satisfying all proper
claims she ought to be careful to sec
that the surplus proceeds arc turned over
to tho rightful owner,
All this Is simply and effectually pro-
yidcd for BY the Torren g, BILL and the
Legislature should lose no time IN pass-
i Ing this great public measure for the
benefit OF Virginia and all her citizens.
We now have chance to resume tho
position we once occupied as leader in
enlightened legislation. Willtthls worthy
General Assembly fail to take advantage
OF it2
