CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FAVORED.
From The Baltimore Sun.

What the Legislature OF PENNSYLVANIA and other

THE DEATH PENALTY
From The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The demand for the death penalty for kidnapping

good, but IL Is made without careful consideration

A BAD EXAMPLE.
From The Detroit Free Press

Isn't 1t very probable that the men who stole

the present theft ever have been contemplated?
