The GuilIotine in France.

Outcry has been raised In france
against the public execution of criminals
q practice which has recently been revived
in that country at the behest of public
opinion against the further ignoring OF
the law of capital punishment. On the
few occasions on which the guillotine has
been lately used scenes Of the most
shocking character have occurred, mobs
forming early and shouting vile oaths
singing obscene songs and reviving mem
cries Of the Terror. when the blade fell
ceaselessly. 1t is believed that the chief
reason for the revival OF public execu-
lions was the hope of certain officials
that the spectacle would evoke a renewal
Of the demand for the abolition OF capital
punishment. Thus far the sentiment OF
the country has not been stirred to that
extent, but there is an unmistakable de-
mand that future executions should be
Of blood will not demoralize the crowd
and give the condemned a final oppor-
tunity to pose as martyrs.
The present tendency in all civilized
countries where capital punishment re-
mains an institution of the law. Is tc
screen the final stroke from the public
view. No longer. in a majority OF Amer
lean states, are condemned criminals
hanged before the people. In several OF
the states electrocution has replaced the
gallows. a more humane process and less
likely to arouse the passions of the
vicious classes. A sentiment exists here
I'm the District for the substitution OF
electricity for the rope.
In France the guillotine is inseparably
identified with the revolution. with its
barbaric toll of death. The slaughter OF
innocents in the name of liberty stained
the record of France indelibly, and it Is
to the credit OF the people OF the republic
that they now shrink from the spectacle
OF the execution of even the most de-
PRAYED criminals in public by means OF
the device which was invented solely fol
the purpose OF enabling the executioner
to count his daily victims by the score
The farther the instrument Is put out OF
sight and out Of mind the better it will
be for France.

The L0NCINGS OF Upton.

From the Detroit News.
Upton Is over here after the America +
cup. What does that man want? He's
been filling it with tea these many years.
From the Concord Monitor.
There is good deal Of truth in what
Sir Thomas Upton says about the rules
of Americas cup racing: but 1t would
have been in better taste for him to
have let some else say it.
From the Baltimore Star.
Sir Thomas Upton will race again IL
the rules are arranged SO he won't lose.
From the Chicago Journal.
Impression is growing that the bricx
wall Sir Thomas Upton says the New
York Yacht Club has built around the
championship cup Is no Pigment OF the
Imagination. To tine inlander II seems
that Sir Thomas has fairly earned the
right to have something to say about
conditions under which the next race
will be sailed.
From the Syracuse Herald.
The consensus of opinion throughout
the nation seems to be that IL Sir Thomas
wants a boat race he ought to be ac-
commodated. II the rules don't suit
him, let him fix them up as he pleases
He has earned a little more than ordi-
nary consideration.

A Song Of the Street.

The motor man stands Outside the car.
His hand Is tense and his face Is grim,
He guides the wheels as they speed afar
And you're told that you mustn't speak
to him.
Facing the cold or the heat intense,
He meets conditions as best he can.
AMI we say as we ride. Its all i'm.
mense"
And nobody thinks Of the motorman!
The conductor, with manners OF brisk
alarm.
Seems to be running the whole affair.
But the eye that's keen and the ready
arm
We merely know they exist somewhere.
IT'S thus that we frequently forget
The hands that do and tho brains that
plan;
As progress goes speeding more swiftly
yet,
We Oft lose sight of the mctorman.

I knew a melancholy gent
Who never cracked his face

So while he straddled up life's track
For weary mile on milo

Because he would not smile.

CIVILIZATION.

Run like mad to make a train
And ind the train Is late:
Wake up with an awful pain
And wonder what you ate:
Read none but best selling hooks
And can't tell what you've read:
Talk OF dresses. cash and cooks,
Or who is being wed:
Live some place q little while
And then desire to move:
Every week change of style
To keep us from q groove:
Busy signals on the phone
Just when you want TO talk;
Auto tires TO bits are blown
And then you have to walk;
Modern transportation lines
Without a place to sit:
Landscape bid by painted signs
That make you throw Q ut;
Daily scandal over graft
And statesmen swearing mad:
Half the people wholly daft
And everybody bad,
Noise around and on each side
And smoke all through the air:
People rushing eager-eyed.
Not getting anywhere;
Some one makes a hit today,
Tomorrow he's forgot:
All must work and none may play
This Is the human lot.
Modern work and modern life,
Advantages supreme,
whirling. seethfnE. goddess strife
How restful il would seem
To find the o.den. golden DAYS
That we have long despIsed,
And ignorantly walk our WAYS
Aud be unciyilizcd.
