TEE LATEST LEGISLATIVE OUT

Turn latest Invention of the enemies of the
people who were sent last fall to the Bute
- Capitol to swindle the publio, la a bill to es
tablish a new iteam-looomotiTe railroad
' through, the heart of Fairmonnt Park. This
project would item inoredibly sudaoione if
re did not remember that the Yoters of Phila
delphia last fall re-elected members who were
guilt of supporting schemes only a few de
grees less inf amoaa, and if the belief had not
been generated that our citizens will quietly
flibmit to any rascally wrong those unscrupu
lous adrenturers may choose to perpe

great eviLs would inevitably result from the
grant of legislative powers to members who
were notoriously indifferent to the welfare of

peoted or feared that they would dare to lay
. their sacrilegious hands upon Fairmonnt
Park, and interseot the territory set apart for
. ft sacred purpose by a totally unnecessary
- steam railway line. Yet on Monday last Mr.
Miller introduced a bill into the Heuse. whioh
was referred to the Bailroad Gommittee.provid
ing for the incorporation of the Schuylkill and
" Angora (or Angolia) Bailroad Company, which
' confers the power to construct a steam railway
' eLixeotiy westward from the Columbia avenue
railroad bridge, through that portion of the
'Park whioh lies west of the SohuylkiU, to
Fifty-fourth street, and thenee in a southern
or southeastern direotion, with incidental
power to intersect the Park at other points.
' The secret purposes of this act are not dis
1 closed, but some bright genius has probably
eonoeived a plan whereby a few dollars may
' be made by a gross violation of the rights of
the citizens of Philadelphia, and sad expe

representatiTOS are ready to betray their
' constituents for a share of the plun-
' and oppression. These heartless knaves care
not if they render the expenditure of millions

- comparatively useless, provided they can earn
their miserable bribes; but if the foroe of
publio opinion is not totally powerless, we
trust that a protest will be made against this
latest soheme of villainy which will make our
venal legislative tyrants quail, and teaoh
them that the people still have a few rights
remaining which they are bound to respect.
THE ABOLITION OF TEE DEATH
PENALTY.
It is admitted on all sides at the present day,
that the punisnment of criminals is intended
primarily for the protection of society, and,
secondly, for the reformation of offenders.
Punishments should be so severe and so cer
tain that those who are disposed to outrage
the laws will be deterred from so doing, and
at the same time they should be of suoh a
nature as will permit of moral influence being
' brought to bear upon the convict, to inspire
him if possible with a desire to lead a bettor
life. Of all the crimes that come under the
. sentence of the law, that of murder is the
' only one that modern civilization lias
adjudged to be of bo heinous a character that
it oannot be expiated except by the life of
the "murderer. All men shud
der'' at i'" the infliction" of , suoh
a penalty as this, and there are not a few
; who dispute both the expediency or justioe of
s society taking the life of one of its members
under any oircumstanoes. The obieot of the
"death penalty is, or ought to be, not so niuoh
,. Teogeanoe for a wrong done to sooiety as the
, prevention of the crime of murder by inspir
l ing those who may be disposed to commit it
with a wholesome dread of the gallows. 1 The
disposition is every day growing stronger to
" prevent the infliction of the death penalty
except upon evidence of the most conclusive
character.
The mere faot that a murderer is oonvioted
osiIaIv on f.iranmatantia.1 avidnnnA in snfftninrit
, with many persons to secure for him an
amount ot sympamy mat materially lnter
.; i feres with the administration of justice, and
those who interest themselves most warmly
' in such oases are frequently ardent advooates
of capital punishment in the abstraot. Mr.
' 1 ' Marvin H. Bovee, in a letter in the Prese of
1 " this merning in favor of the abolition of the
"death penalty, urges the difficulty of procur
ing the oonviotion and punishment of mur
derers and the sympathy exoited in their
favor as reasons why the whole machinery of
the gallows should be done away with. We
think that Mr. Bovee is clearly mistaken as
- to the extent of this sympathy in the
majority of oases where the guilt is clearly
demonstrated, and a search through the
- records of the courts and the exeoutive de
partments at Harrisburg and Washington will
show that quite as muoh is done to shield
from punishment offenders in other matters
as in that of murder. It is notoriously more
difficult to seoure the conviction of certain
outlaws who are guilty of nearly every crime
except that of murder, and it is much easier
to procure a free pardon or a commutation of
the sentence of the courts from the Eieou
tive. If Mr. Bovee's argument on this point
held good, the sympathies of sooiety would
be against any punishment for orime what
ever. We know very well, however, that the
obstacles in the way of punishing certain
classes of offenders are entirely outside of the
' sympathies of sooiety at large, and are iuci-
Aant.l (a LnA AArnlnilnna nf nnf intam
""arnment. .................. .
With regard to the abolition of the death
penalty, however, the most important ques
tion is, Will it have a tendency to diminish
the crime of murder f If this ean be demon
strated clearly and definitely, the question of
the expediency and propriety of suoh aohange
in our system of punishments would be nar
rowed down to a fine point. This is not a
more sentimental question, but it is one in
which every man, woman, and child in the
oommunity that desires to be protected
from the knives, plniola, and blud
geons of the ruffians who haunt sooiety
is directly interested. If the teadenoy to
commit murder can be diminished by the
adoption of another form of punishment, then
society will demand that the gallows shall be
sent after other relies of the dark ages that
modern civilization has oast away from it
It is on this point that Mr. Bovee produoes
his strongest arguments, and he asserts that
the abandonment of the death penalty has
been successfully tried in the States of Michi
gan, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin. Mr.
Bovee's proofs in support of his position are
rather indefinite, but this phase of the subject
is certainly well worthy of the consideration
of those who are desirous of removing any
brutalizing elements from the administration
of our laws, and who wish only that the pun
ishments inflicted upn criminals shall be
such as will deter from the commission of
crime.
TEE METROPOLITAN POLICE BILL.
Tbb Democratic programme for defeating
the Metropolitan Polioe bill in the Senate has
failed, despite the assessment of Mayor Fox's
force, and there appears to be a fair prospect
of its passage in the House. The new system
it proposes to inaugurate is by no means un
objectionable. It will give the city a partisan
polioe, and one which will unfortunately be
committed, in a large degree, to the personal
fortunes of the men who have misrepresented
Philadelphia at Ilarrisburg. We should have
greatly preferred a measure free from this
serious defect, but it is unfortunately
impossible for the people to
obtain from the politicians of either
party what they should have, and in the ohoioe
of evils we decidedly prefer a Republican to
a Democratic foroe, and a permanent foroe to
one subjected to unoeasing changes. Noth
ing can be more injurious than the present
method of removing all the trained old police
men whenever a political revolution ooours in
the year of a Mayor's elootion. This evil, at
least, will be averted by the new law; and it
would be better for all classes, and in the
end for all parties, if the Republican Com
missioners, in reconstructing the foroe, per
mitted a portion of the most faithful and use
ful of the Demooratio policemen to retain
their present positions. What the people
need is the maintenance of peaoe and order,
and the publio interests should not be made
subordinate to partisan considerations. '
ART AND ARTISTS, j
Wb are called upon every day to congratu
late ourselves upon the increasing demand
for pictures through the country. "There can
be no surer sign of the nation's progress in re
finement and culture," cry the artists, "than
the growing wish of the people to make beau
tiful their homes; art is waking from her
long sleep," eta etc.
Now there are two sides to every subject;
and it is as well, perhaps, for our provincial
readers that the reverse of this flattering tale
should be told. It is quite true that the de
mand for pictures, good and bad, has in
creased to an unprecedented extent in the
last five years. . Chromos, and now the really
valuable carbon-photographs, have in a great
measure satisfied this popular whim, if whim
it is. There are also in Philadelphia and
New York three or four reliable dealers
through whom good paintings, American and
foreign, can be procured, whioh are what they
profess to be. ,.; j
But aside from these there are in both
cities a horde of inferior traders from whom
comes the present incessant clamor about
ark. They discourse learnedly of chiaro
oscura, of tone, and breadth and chio.
Usually, they profess to sell only the works
of European masters, assuring us gravely that
our country is too young to worthily sacri
fice to art. They hold occasional auotions in
the seaboard cities, but the largest part ' of
these sales are made in the interior, the South
and West, to whioh they continually send
"private collections," Dusseldorf galleries,
etc., etc. There are enough "undoubted old
masters," or gems of Uerzog and Aohen-
bach, saaltered through the country to make
hideous every briok wall in Philadelphia. '
Smith, having made his fortune in Pitts
burg or Chicago, builds his villa out of town,
and comes East with an odd thousand or two
to buy a landscape, or a braoe of them, for
his parlors. He finds a genuine antique in
the dingy auction room, whioh the dealer
adroitly fixes at a point just above his paltry
thousand, ne strains a point and goes off
triumphant with his prize, to be known there
after as a patron of art in his native town.
He does not notice the young fellow behind
him in the auction room, stroking his whis
kers with a sickly smile. That is ' young
Johnson, who furnished the antique yester
day for fifteen dollars, as per contract There
are a dozen more young fellows who, like
Johnson, supply the gems at so muoh per
canvas.
A few years ago they were known as yonng
men of promise and ambition. Nobody hears
of them now. But it is since their disappear.
ance that so many masterpieces find their
way from the European market to our shores,
This business is carried on muoh more ex
tensively in New York than here. But not
only are needy young artists in Philadelphia
bought up by the traders, but, we regret to say,
some of a higher grade, for whom the tempta
tion of ten or fifteen dollars for an hour's
work proves too muoh for their loyalty to art,
We know one young fellow who reoognlzed
seventeen of his own five-dollar daubs in the
paintings of the German school belonging to
a great financier In the oity, who had given
carte blanche orders to have his ooal-bin and
gallery filled by the appropriate dealers. .
But, after all, who is the worse for all this
The buyer congratulates himself; the trader
surely has no reason to oomplain, and Jean
son throws off half a dozen gems a day, and
keeps the pot boiling thereby and plenty ia
it beside. Yet we question whether Johnson,
catching a glimpse of power in his trashy
aketohes now and then, does not oontrast, with
a sudden twinge, his own ignominous oomfort
and old Haydon, starved and defeated, lying
dead beside his great work "stretched toe
long upon the rack of this tough world."
Whether ho does not wonder if it be altogether
so well with him and with art as the auc
tioneers assert, and if he played the best part
in selling himself and her so cheaply.
BNOLI8E EMIGRATION.
Tira question of finding the means of sub
sistence for a large portion of the laboring
population is now being agitated in England
in a manner that is likely to give it a pre
cedence over the regulation of the Irish land
tenure, the adoption of the ballot, and other
matters of like character that have of late
occupied publio attention. The impoverished
condition of the English laboring classes has
been forced upon the notioe of the Govern
ment, and as the most effloient means of relief
a loud demand has been made for aid from the
publio treasury to promote emigration. But
here a difficulty of moment presents itself
the trained English artisan, un
like the Irish laborer, does not de
sire Jto emigrate if he can help
it, and if he does remove either to Australia
or America, be is like a fish out of water, and
for most of the work demanded of him he
is as incapable as a child. Mr. Gold win
Smith was so ignorant of the ideas, educa
tion, habits, and training of this class of his
countrymen, as to induce a number of them
to come to the United States some months
ago with the assurance that they would find
plenty of work and remunerative wages. The
result was a grievous disappointment to both
parties. The men found themselves brought
into competition with American workmen who
oould not do some one special thing as well
as they could, but who were able to do a little
of everything in a manner satisfactory
to their employers. One Englishman
could make doors, but he oould
not fit window frames or put down
flooring or do any other branch of carpenter
ing but the one in whioh he had been trained,
and bo it was with the whole set They oould
not find steady employment in their special
ities, and they were incompetent to do any.
thing else. The English journals are begin
ning to see that herein lie the difficulties of
emigration schemes for benefiting the super
abundant population of their great cities, and
they are endeavoring to drum into the thick
heads of their skilled artisans that in a new
country perfect workmanship within a limited
sphere is not the most desirable thing for a
man who wishes to make his way in the
word. On this point the London Spectator
says, with a true appreciation of the actual
state of the ca.ie: j
"WtiHe English cities are suffering thus from a re
dundancy or labor, from tbe presence of men fur
whom they can find neither work nor rood, other
territories all over tbe world are suffering almost as
much from Insufficient population. - There Is In
Canada, the United rjtutea, Australia, New Zealand,
ana South Africa, In tbe vast region, that is, owned
by men vi)o speak English and who welcome Sag
I tubmen, a rami of fifty acred or a wage of 10a. a day
for every able-bodied man who chooses to go and
work a little harder there than he did here, who In
fact boneeily wills to make money by toll. Natal In
particular offers fllty acres in free gift. Reams of
statements have been published on this subject,
written by men of every variety of opinion we our
selves have published quires but the stories all
come back to this, that for the man who oan work
hard npon land, who can plough, or dig, or thatch,
or put up rough walls, or fell timber, or 'garden,' or
do rough carpentry, or drive horses, or do any man
ner of Iron work, or paint, or in faot do anything of
any 'hard' kind, there Is in the Union, in Canada,
In the Anstrailas, and at Natal rough plenty
to be had, without waiting or chance
of disappointment, and with no material drawback
except one. lie muW give up some of his dignity, if
dignity with him means doing one little bit of work,
say bricklaying, to perfection. lie must learn to de
anything, to be within bis own trade Jack-ef-all-work,
to be, in fact, an efficient human being In
stead of a first-class artisan. Subject to that condi
tion, which we are well aware is of all conditions
