"If I had the making of the laws I would
have the execution of murderers take place
in the rotunda of the jail in full view of
every prisoner in the place. A man is
hanged, according to the theory of the law,
because that penalty is believed to prevent
others from committing murder. The aw
lulcess of a legal death by violence would
drive many an inmate of the jail from the
byways of crime."
So spoke one of the county officers the

been admiring the many improvements
made in the building by the new warden,
John McAleese.
"Without entering into a discussion of the
merits of snch a course of action, it cannot
be denied that such an execution would be
about as dramatically horrible as one could
desire if it occurred in the place named
with the prisoners grouped on the overlook
ing galleries. Snch a policy may come into
being some day, but it is iar off now.
A Onlot Execution.
The hanging of Patrick Fitzpatrick Tues
day will be a verv quiet affair, and the
number of persons who will witness it will I
be as small as possible. It is the intention
of Sheriff McCleary to shut out all ordi
nary sightseers, and only those who really
have business there will be permitted in the
jail yard within sight of the gallows at the
time of the execution. The Sheriff and his
assistants, the medical men and jurors, a
few of the jail officials and the newspaper
reporters will be the only ones present
If one can judge from the conduct of the
man who is to end his life, his will not he a
sensational end. He is showing a self
possession that is quite remarkable. He
seems very contrite, spends a very large
part of his time in prayers and looks for
ward eagerly to the two hours a day during
which he is visited by Be v. Father Griffen.
As a rule Fitzpatnck'is jolly and unembar
rassed. He chats freely with those about
him on any subject, and is careful to im
press his repentance for his crime upon his

life is that it will need years of praying to
wash away the stain upon his conscience,

Ordinary matters he treats with the ut
most good nature, for his long career as a
tramp has made him philosophic A strik
ing instance of this is shown "in the modera
tion of his demands for such things in the
way of personal comforts os are always
granted to those who are sentenced to death.
His remark about desiring a green
suit of clothes to be hanged in
shows the rollicking, dare-devil
character of the man. When told he would
be allowed a new suit, he said the clothes
he had on were good enough, and declared
he did not think it worth while to spend
money for new ones, but he added with a
smile that if he must be fitted out anew he
would take a grten suit.
Fitzpatrick is a small man, weighing
about 120 pounds. He weighed 125 when
arrested, but has lost a little flesh since his
confinement. He is 5 feet 7 inches in
height and is 33 years old. His hair is light
brown and his eyes are blue. His nose is
sharp and he wears a light mustache. His
head is pear-shaped, very broad at the top
and coming to a sharp angle at the chin.

Salisbury's protectionist speech at Hastings
has alarmed his Tory followers, offended his
Liberal Unionist allies and elated his Lib
eral opponents. There Is a protectionist
party in the House of Commons, but it con
sists only of two members, Colonel Howard
Vincent, member for Sheffield, and the
Bight Honorable James Louther, member
for Thanet
Mr. Chaplin, Minister for Agriculture,
once had protectionist leanings, especially
in the direction of imposing a duty on for
eign wheat in the interests of British farm
ers, but on his acceilion to Cabinet rank he
became economically orthodox, and has
sinoe been content to help his bucolic
friends by utilizing the outbreak of the foot
and month disease as an excuse for stopping
the importation of live cattle.
In the country at large there are some
Tories who are protectionists. They belong
mostly to the so-called United Empire Fair
Trade League, of which Howard Vincent is
President, but they are few In numbers and
weak in influence, while on the other hand
the majority of Tories and all Liberal
Unionists and British Liberals are free
traders to the backbone.
Guessing at Salisbury's Motive.
'What then could have been the Prime
Minister's object in placating an insignifi
cant minority at the expense of an over
whelming majority? The question is in
every man's mouth to-dav, and the only
answer that cannot be dismissed as utterly
absurd is that Lord Salisbury was speaking
as a minister for foreign affairs, just de
feated in an effort to negotiate a com
mercial treaty with Spain, and
that he hoped to frighten the Spaniards
into reason by holding up a bogie of pro
tection. It is gravely suggested to-day that
the speech will gain the Government the
support of the workingmen at the forth
coming general election, but the few work
men who are protectionists already vote the
Tory ticket, and there is absolutely no
margin for gain in this direotion to set
against iue vefiBiu iu vi xiiuenu-uuiuuiBh
votes.
That the speech will estrange a good
many Unionists of the rank and file is be
yond reasonable doubt, but it is not likely,
as the Unionist London Chronicle suggests,
that it will dissolve the Tory-Unionist alli
ance, which stood equally severe strains in
the past Joseph Chamberlain and Union
ists of his stamp have not deserted the Gov
ernment, and dare not upon the eve of dis
solution of Parliament, because their politi
cal lives depend upon the votes of their
Tory allies, but should Lord Salisbury com
mit an "economic indiscretion" after Mr.
Gladstone's return to power it might be
utilized as an excuse for the return of the
strayed sheep to the orthodox fold, should
the grand old shepherd care to take them
back.
Party Zieaders Advise a Backdown.
Meanwhile reports are arriving at Tory
and Mugwump headquarters by every mail
from all parts of the country complaining
of the Prime Minister's speech, and the
party managers 'are urging the advisable
nessof a climb down. Lord Salisbury is to
deliver another speech at a Tory meeting in
St James' Hall next week, and it'is sug
gested that the occasion would afford him
an admirable opportunity for exp' ining
that he did not mean that which he aid at
Hastings.
"With the useof a little of that impudence
of which Lord Salisbury has a large stock,
and which before now has been described
not inaptly as brazen effrontery, he could
put the blame on the stenographers who re-
Eorted him, or on acoustic failings of the
all in which he spoke, or on both. Or he
could declare that he was joking at Hast
ings, and that his real sentiments were ex
pressed at Derby December 19, 1887, upon
which occasion he declared for free trade,
and sarcastically dismissed fair trade with
these words:
I have listened to and read carefully what
has been said about fair trade and free
trade, and I have observed this, that In
respect to many points tbey are agreed and
upon many points they are preclse,but upon
tbose points upon which they are precise
they are not agreed, and upon tbose points
upon which they are agreed they aionot
picclse.
Another Job for Els lordship.
The thing is quite feasible, "and really,"
it is ureed. "His LordshiD ought to make an
effort. Lord Salisbury might also, while.
he is about it, explain that he never really
meant to incite civil war with Ireland, and
it would do no harm if he should
remind Orange swashbucklers who,
following his example, continue
to taik of fighting a Dublin
Parliament, that Catholics are 46 per cent of
the entire population of Ulster, that they
comprise 55 per cent of the population out
side the Parliamentary borough of Belfast,
and that apart from the two counties of
Down and Antrim, which constitute no
more than a fourth of the area of the prov
ince; Catholics are 6L4 per cent of the pop
ulation of Ulster. These striking, figures
are taken from the Census Commissioner's
returns for last year, and whatever they
do in the United States, census returns in
this country do not lie.
The fact remains that for some time trade
has been going down with respect to nearly
every article of British manufacture for ex
port, but most of all with regard to iron
and steel hardware and cutlery. For the
first four months of this year hardware and
cutlerv show a drop of 159,363 on -1890.
The United States have taken 45,000 less,
Germany and France each 6,000 less, the
Argentine Republic 32,000 less.. In iron
and steel there is a drop of quite 3,000,000.
Mannfactures of steel have dropped 87,000,
and railroad iron 1,400.000. Exports are
just the same as they were In 1883, though
tne imports 01 loreign goons are much
higher, and there are 3,000,000 more pairs of
hands seecing wore
Balfour on the Irish BUI Again.
Mr. Balfour formally and languidly
moved, on Thursday evening, the second
reading of the Irish local government bill,
thereby starting a debate which will cer
tainly continue until next Thursday night
So thoroughly ingrained is the feeliner that
the whole thing is a sham that the majority
of speakers so far have spoken to audiences
varying in numerical strength from 10 to
50, and nobody on the ministerial benches
has ventured, although directly and re
peatedly challenged, to state positively
that it is the intention of the Government
seriously to attempt to pass the bill into
law.
Mr. Gladstone paid Mr. Sexton the com
pliment Thursday afternoon of listening to
the speech in which the brilliant Irishman
moved the rejection of the bill, bnt he has
sinoe shown no interest in the debate. He
will have something to say, however, before
the discussion oloses, probably on Monday
afternoon, and it is possible, bnt not prob
able, that he will use the occasion to give
Parliament and the country the broad out
lines of his home rule bill.
As to the general election.tbere is now
practical unanimity in the British press
that, as Thb DI3PATCH has long foretold,
it will be announced at the end of June and
take place early in July.

Loitdox, May, 2L A Monsieur Koulez,
a well-known and highly respected business
man of Paris, who, although nearly 60 years
of age, is also something of a man-about-town,
had a glorious day Thursday. The
morning papers of that day all had a won
derful story of Boulez's prowess. He was
said to have taken the part of an actreis be
hind the scenes at a performance of "Sal
ammbo," at the Opera, Tuesday night, and
there to have challenged three young men
who had insulted her.
These three voungmen, each accompanied
by two seconds and a physician, met him
in the Bois at daybreak Wednesday, and he
engaged them one after another with the
sword, wounding one in the chest, another
in the arm, and the third in the face. After
that he "took on" the second of one of
them who offended the victor and pinned
him to a tree. All this was accomplished
in an hour, and then Boulez went home to
breakfast and afterward attended to busi
ness as if nothing unusual had occurred.
Thursday was a day of triumph for Bou
lez, All day he received his friends, who
made much of his courage and skill. The
newspapers wrote laudatory articles about
him, and letters and telegrams .of congratu
lation poured in. Yesterday, however, the
reporters began to look up the matter, and
It was found that the story that was printed
was Boulez's own version of the affair, as
related by him to a newspaper agency.
Further inquiries brought out the fact
that no duel nad been fought in the Bois,
and when Boulez told the reporters that he
did not know the names of his own seconds,
who were men he had picked up -on the
street on the way to the battleground, sus
picions were roused. Then it transpired
that the actress whose part the valiant
Boulez said he had taken was not in the
theater on the night in question, and that
there bad been no trouble there, and to
night the hero admits that no duels occurred
and that he hoaxed the press. He is sup
posed to be insane, as he is a man of high
character in his normal state.
Queen will be seen in London at all this
season.
The Prince and Princess of "Wales and

FEENCH SEHTIMEHT FOB DEACON.
The Condemned in Prison, bnt Well Treated
by the Officials.
Nice, May 2L Since the condemnation
and sentence yesterday of Edward Paker
Deacon, for the willful wounding of Abeille,
he has been confined in prison. His own
physician is permitted to attend him. He
has a comfortable room and is treated kindly
and courteously by the prison officials.
None of his friends have yet, however, been
permitted to see him. Austin Deacon,
brother of the prisoner, held a conference
to-day with M. Bret, a distinguished lawyer,
and others. He then called upon the Pre
fect to see what steps could be taken to
secure a mitigation of the sentence.
There is no denying the fact that the oon
viction of Mr. Deacon is not in accord with
public sentiment here. The action of the
populace at the trial and at the palace yes
terday showed plainly that public sympathy
was strongly with him.
