GALLOWS INCIDENTS.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
The bearing of John Ilanlon, hanged at
Philadelphia last Wednesday, is only another
instance of the stolidity wHn which hardened
criminals submit to strangulation, and ex
hibit, at the snpreine hour, a truly religious
resignation. The career of this Hanlon was
extremely vile, and his crime such as only the
most degraded nature could be guilty of; yet,
nnder the manipulations of the priests, he
died cheerfully, previonsly begging every
body's pardon in the moat amiable way. We
hope that it will not be deemed irreverent if
we say that this is mere childishness and
mummery. The fact that a man is to be
hanged cannot, we affirm, change his moral
character in the twinkling of an eye.
One doesn't like to be uaoharitable. Bat
here is one guilty of a crime which nobody
with a spark of manliness oould commit the
violation and murder of a mere child; and it
was not his only offense of the kind. He is
sentenced to be hanged, and he immediately
beoomea devout. He has constant interviews
with olergymen of the faith which he pro
fesses. He lives for seventeen days upon
a diet of bread and water. He prays,
he confesses, he prostrates himself before
a oruoiflx and then he is all ready for
death. Does anybody doubt that he ex
pected to be saved by some thaumaturgioal
process, with nothing really spiritual
about it? Now and then it happens that
a prisoner objects very strongly to the reli
gious processes to which condemned persons
are subjected. This is the case with llaloff,
of whom the Binghamton Republican re
ports that he altogether declines "spiritual
consolation or advice;" and we have known
personally another instance of the kind. We
certainly do not desire to speak harshly or
unjustly; but the question will arise whether
the capitally convioted may not mix np vio
lent religious professions with that hope of
ultimate escape from impending doomwhioh
is Baid to remain in the bosom of the con
demned to the last moment.
Whatever may be our opinion of legal
Btrangulation, the fact remains, not to be
gainsaid, that murderers are hanged or not
hanged acoording to luck, or for some other
reason quite independent of their crime.
Here is a writer in one of our exohanges who
wants to know why Hanlon was hanged,
while Reddy the Blacksmith is out on bail,
and is in no more danger of being hanged
than the most innocent person in the com
munity. This is a question which we cannot
answer. There are mysteries and myste
ries; and most mysterious is the working
of the gallows. Now and then we see
murderers walking straight out of jail,
and meandering as freely as if they
were of childish innocenoe. In some States
it has, in our time, been the fashion for the
Exeoutive to pardon all the capitally con
victed. Then came the reaction, and every
body convicted of murder was hanged with
Draoonian severity. But there still remained
the Scriptural warrant, everlasting and irre
pealable, "Whosoever sheddeth man's blood,
by man shall his blood be shed" an injunc
tion still regarded by some people as Divine,
but whioh is disregarded every time a mur
derer or even a manslaughterer is spared.
There is a great deal of poor logio about, but
gallows logio is the lamest.
THE REPUBLIC IS WAR.
From the X. Y. Times.
The interest in the eleotion and the pro
ceedings of the National Assembly, shortly to
be convened in France, becomes heightened
with every fresh revelation of how reluctantly
a large section of the Republicans have sus
pended the armed conflict with Germany.
France can hardly be anything else but Re
publican, even after the friends of the Em
pire have exhausted all their arts to seoure
favorable representation in the Constituent
Assembly. But we have already very deoided
indications that the third republic will be
divided, not so much on the question of par
tial or radical change, not so much into so
cialists and moderates as into those who
favor a policy of war and those who adhere
to one of peace. Gambetta"has lost no time
in defining his platform to be one that shall
send France like an athlete into training,
and that shall keep everything subservient
to the . main purpose of developing sinews
strong enough to renew the death-wrestle
with the foe that now has her under
the heel. The question of questions
for France is, Shall the people endorse this
doctrine of the righteousness of revenge,
and shall they sacrifice all the fruits
of peaceful progress to this one object
of wiping out the shame of multiplied defeats
and frequent surrenders ? The platform of
the radicals of Lyons shows a laudable effort
to associate ideas of universal peace and
brotherhood with the formation of a nation
of soldiers, and the combination is but
another proof, of how deeply the iron of
Prussian demand has entered into the
national soul, and how impotent are all spe
culative considerations to solace the wounded
honor of France.
To such signs of the temper of the new
Republic, Bismarck will probably point as a
justification of his policy of weakening
France so completely that she cannot strike
again for some time to come. It is evident
enough that an open declaration of an inten
tion to fight again at the earliest opportunity
will nt tend to abate the magnitude of the
Prussian demands. If France must be
perpetually held by the throat like a danger
ous cur, then Metz, Belfort, Strasbourg and
the Vosgea are by no means too many
guarantees to hold for her good behavior.
But, on the other hand, the very extent
to which Prussia is resolved to indemnify
herself in territory and treasure only helps to
increase the soreness of the wound whioh re
mains in the side of her enemy, and is a per
petual spur to her undying bate. After all,
some mutual concession at the forthcoming
negotiations that will attend the sittings of
the National Assembly may go far to avert the
terrible future for Europe that is involved
in the implacable hostility of I ranee and Ger
many. The Empire compelled the nation
to maintain the armaments of war amid
vears of peace, and so no one was found to
mourn greatly over its fall. The republis
owes it to tne progress ana iioeny u repre
sents that it should preach nobler doctrines
than reprisal and unending war. Peaoe nai
its triumphs, which afford a safer and surer
wav to restore glory ana nappiness to t ranoe,
and the Gospel rule that "They who take
the sword snail perish with the sword, "is
still as applicable to nations as to men. Wa
terloo has been avenged in various ways that
the veterans of the First Empire never
rijresuctd of, Lvt m trait that the people. of
France will leave Metz and Sedan and rutin
to the equally unfailiDg obliteration of the
future.
THE RIVER OF DEATH.
From the Cleveland leader. "7Z
We have waited patiently, but vainly, sinoe
Saturday, to find stated some excuse or rea
son for the fearful explosion on the Missis
sippi river, by whioh the steamer W. R.
Arthur was destroyed and eighty human lives
sacrificed. No explanation has been given:
nene is probably regarded neoessary. The
engineer on duty at the time says that the
steam gauge showed a pressure of only one
hundred and eighteen pounds a moment
before the explosion, and that the licensed
limit of the boilers was one hundred and
twenty-six pounds. He is, moreover, cer
tain that there was plenty of water in the
boilers, and that there was no good cause why
they should have burst.
They did burst, however there are the
eighty charred and mangled corpses to show
for it and with all due respect to this engi
neer, the people of the country would like to
know something more about who and what is
to blame for the constantly recurring calami
ties that have made the very word Mississippi
a name of terror throughout the North. We
are told, in the first place, that it is a point of
absolute necessity that the Western river
steamers should carry high pressure engines.
They are required to make head against
strong currents, and need immense power.
Their bulls are bread and shallow, and not
adapted to carrying the heavy condensers and
other fixtures that are included in low pres
sure engines. Their paddle, wheels must
work independently of each other, and this is
fatal to the low pressure beam engines, so
universally used in the lake and ocean marine
Granted, then, that the river boats must
carry from eighty to a hundred and thirty
pounds of steam to the inch, cannot boilers
be made strong enough to stand that strain ?
Cannot inspectors be found brave enough to
condemn boats and boilers when they become
mere death traps for human beings ? At least
cannot regulations be made, and enforced,
which will oblige steamboat owners to pro
vide ample boats and life preservers to save
every passenger they carry ? In the case of
the Arthur, last week, there was but one
life-boat on board. Five hulking miscreants
got into it, rownd ashore, and turned the
boat adrift. Had the steamer carried half a
dozen large yawls, not twenty lives need have
been lost. If the owners of the lost steamer
were now brought into court and made to
pay $5000 each for the eighty lives just sacri
ficed to their carelessness and avarice, it is
more than probable thi, f1 next steamboat
they run would go out wuu sound boilers and
abundant fixtures for preserving life from
drowning. There is no need or sense
in mincing this matter. Steamboat
owners are public carriers; they take
the money of their passengers and
agree to transport them in comfort and
safety. If they fail to do this through their
greed to make money, they should be held
strictly responsible. If they have no other
conscience, their pockets are still as sensi
tive as those of other men. Congress can
and should make immediate laws to cover all
these cases. It would seem that the cataclysm
of slaughter which has been seen from Cairo
to New Orleans during the last month is a
direct appeal to Washington for an enactment
of this kind. Will Congress heed the
warning?
THE INCOME TA,.
From the N. Y. W orld.
We would fain hope that the conference
committee on the income tax will find some
easy method of undoing the technical hitch
which obstructs the repeal of that most un
just and odious imposition. It is proper
enough that the committee and the two
houses should come to an understanding and
adopt some settled rule (if they can) as to
what class of bills relating to the revenue
the Senate may, or may not, originate; but
that is a minor matter. The Government
has gone on for eighty years without any
such settled rule, and no measure deemed
of public consequence has failed for the
want of it. Mr. Clay's Compromise
tariff, though a measure of redaction.
raised the duty on certain articles; and to
satisfy the scruples of a few Senators, Mr.
Clay, whose skill as a parliamentarian was
never surpassed, and wno nad too muoa ro
bust sense to care for forms if he could gain
the substance, arranged with some of his
friends to make a motion for striking out all
after the enacting clause in a tariff bill then
pending in the House, and substitute his
own. By this easy manoeuvre the technical
objection was flanked, and the bill promptly
came up to the Senate as a revenue measure
passed by the House, and went through at
once. A similar device would te tne nest
course to adopt now, leaving the parliament
ary rule to be settled at some future time on
its own merits.
The repeal will be accomplished, if at all,
by a Blender majority; the great agricultural
section feeling perfectly easy under the in
come tax, which is chiefly paid by the sea
board States. The fact that its whole weight
falls upon one section of the country is a
conspiouous proof of its injustice. The West
is more prosperous and tnriving man tne
East, and should bear its share of the public
burdens. The income tax is not only unjust
in itself, but it is peculiarly repugnant to
American feeling. Our State Governments
could lav an income tax it they otiose:
but none of them ever thought of doing
so, and no party in a State would dare make
so odious an experiment. All the
States tax property, and not income. It
would shock the general sense of fairness to
exempt nob men who own unimproved real
eBtate, such as city and village lots whioh
are rapidly rising in value but yield no imme
diate inoome, and tax widows wno own a
mortgage or a few railroad shares on whioh
they receive regular interest or aiviaena.
An inoome tax in tms country aoounas wua
that kind of injustice, and nothing but tne
pressure of a gigantio war would have recon
ciled the people to it even for a limited
period.
We borrowed the income tax from Eng
land, without considering the difference in
the circumstances of the two countries. Even
in England the income tax is acknowledged
to be inequitable by the very statesmen wno
advocate its temporary continuance. Bat in
England agriculture bears its fair share of the
burden with other great pursuits, while in
this country agriculture escapes. And yet
England is not, to so great an extent as the
United States, an agricultural oountry. She
does not grow nearly enough grain to feed
her own people, whereas we are exporters of
bread. tuns, as well as 01 other great agri
cultural staples like cotton and tobaooo.
Now in England nearly half of the
income tax is paid by the land, and this part
of it is assessed without self-appraisement by
the tax-payers or any sort of inquisitorial
process by the Government, which are the
two most important among the minor objeo
tions to the inoome tax. The easy colleotiou
of an inoome tax from the agricultural inte
rest in ItagUml, impossible here, results from
a totally 'different system of land tenures.
In England the occupants and cultivators
of land are seldom its owners. The farmers
lenf-e their land; and the income tax being
assessed on the rental, there is n
chance for evasion aud no necessity for
inquisitorial meddling with private
affairs. As between agriculture on the one
Laud, and trade and the professions on the
other, the income tax ia England is collected
with a rough approximation to justice; agri
culture, however, paying rather vvrr than its
due share owing to the impossibility of eva
sion. But in this oountry, agrioulture, which
is our createst interest and comprises the
chief built of our wealth, pays next to
nothing, nearly the whole burden being
thrown upon other pursnita. There oould
not be a grosser violation of equity.
Even those who passed and those who re
newed the income tax confess in their very
enactments that it is not fit to be a permanent
pait of our fiscal system. It was at first im
posed under tne pressure of an overruling
necessity; and to reconcile the people to so
odious a burden, they were assured that the
tax should be discontinued at the boginning
of tne year ltwu. (Jon gr ess violated the pledge
without tne shadow of an excuse. With a sur
plus revenue of a hundred millions a year, the
tiovernment had no need of the income tax.
Thanks te the zeal, good sense, and fairness
of Commissioner Pleasanton, we were in a
fair way to get rid of it, when this foolish
technical hitch arose between the two houses.
If the technical point cannot be adjusted, we
hope there may be wisdom enough to drop it
out of sight and put the repeal through by a
iresn start in the House.
