VIRTUE AND THE LAW.

ss Well done will be the plaudit OF the people
Of Virginia to the Supreme Court of Appeals
on the eminently proper decision rendered In
the case OF Cutchin, the disgraced but insistent
mayor of Roanoke. 1t is a high tribute to
Judge Mullen. the eminent and fearless iuris,
designated by Governor Mann TO discharge the
disagreeable duty OF sitting in the trial of
Cutchin. that the highest tribunal in the
State sustained him every point involved
Iii the appeal. Convicted, after fair and full
hearing of misfeasance and maseasance in Of
nee and of gross neglect OF official duty.
Cutchin's removal from Office recommended

that verdict, nuiiiaed for the time being by
legal technicalities, is given final approval
and becomes effective
81 The case of Mayor Cutchin was one OF the

charged by grand jury with grossest mis-

several weeks and marked by evidence cal

Z u animous voice declared that there no
error in the trial. that every charge made was
frily sustained and that Cutchin must bow to
the law and give up his Office.
Thus virtue and the law triumph. II Is
amazing TO see that the convicted mayor will
arain seek election at the hands of the people.

The Tariff the Issue.

The great virtue of Mr.. Underwoods tariff
policy, announced at Annapolis the night
before last, Is that IL proposes something deli
mite. Mr. Underwood wants the platforms OF
the two parties--particularly the Democrats
party--to state in detail what they propose to
do about the tariff. what they propose to do
about each individual schedule, and then let
the people decide between them. This Will be
no difficult matter for the Democrats for they
will be able To point to the piecemeal bills
passed by the Democratic House last year and
this, in Illustration of their stand.-tor- the
Republicans It Will be a difficult matter. be-
cause OF the wide difference of opinion existing
among the members of the various factions
OF the party this subject. Between the nro-
gressfve and the ssfnta s~fea IS v itfSf
gulf fxed that IL will take q great deal OF skill
to bridge or casuistry to explain. But the i'm
portance of the tariff issue Is such that the
party must be made to say just whore il stands
on the subject 1t scannot afford to meet the
definite detailed promises OF the democrats
with glittering eralities.
The splendid work of Mr. Underwood Speaker
Clark and the House majority has made 1t "os-
sible for the Democrats to force this Issue this

Capital Punishment.

Editor RiChmond N1rginlan.
Sir.~~The subject at the head OF TINS p1Psf
has been discussed pro and con in your column $.
II goes without the saying that 1t Is an I'm
POI tant matter and all must concede that tho
subject is worthy TO be fully discussed and well
ventilated. The motives of those who oppose
capital punishment are no doubt good and there
is some plasusibility in the arguments they ad-
vance in opposition to 1t. but that their views
are erroneous Is apparent, think. for the fol-
lowing reasons: Punishment is IA logical. neces-
sary result of the violation Of law. Law with
on. penalty ceases to be law, and law aims to
prevent crime by Furnishing violators that others
may be deferred from committing crime. This
is good motive as all must admit 1t Is re-
voting to hang or electrocute poor criminal
we all know but If that be done to prevent
others from committing similar crimes it changes
the entire aspect OF such punishment. II Is
rot fair or just to speak OF a lawful hanging
OF eieetrutution as judicial murder. for 1t ~
not murder Of any kind. The jury, the pre-
siding iaagc ard the governor Of the State who
render the verdict pronounces the death SEN
tence and refuses to interfere with the verdict
not murderers. but are agents and officers
Of the law which rests upon the scriptural

Reasoning from the less to the greater IT Is
not true that God. the Great judge. sends any
soul everlasting perdition. for the Bible tells
that the eternal perdition into which some
souls go was prepared Tor the devil ana MS
angels. In giving His to die for Adam $
race, God has done all that could be done to
men. and those who will be punished meet
such fate, because OF their refusal TO be
saved. Like the jury, the judge and the COVER
nor. the Lord must maintain the majesty of
the law and neither Is responsible for the fate
that the murderer the sinner reaps. No
thoughtful person deny the probability OF
a great many more crimes than we now have

this world of sin and wickedness the crime

THIS business OF pityfng criminals and 0eing
Mortified at executions and looking upon capital
punishment as a relic OF barbarian. may sound
very we'll. but l think more pity and sympathy
for those whose hearts have been crushed by
the crime of murder and more free strength
for the future to prevent other murders Is a
far better business and this to the mind OF the
writer is far more religious, too.
