The nerrltt Liquor Law.
There are one or two novel points in
a l:'UUor law just proposed by Repre
sentative Merritt of the Indiana legis
la.l.re. It requires the removal from
drink ehups of all methods of conceal
ment, such as screens, painted windows
and the like; forbids the presence In a
eali-oii of pool or billiard tables, music
or other enticement; and makes the en
itrat.ee of any person into the room, on
liolldays or Sundays, prima facie evi
dence of the Illegal sale of liquor. This
latter clause Is based upon the supposi
tion that If liquor be not sold In such
pU.ces during prohibited hours, nobody
of a convivial turn of mind will waste
Ih's t'me In them an argument pretty
sticnp In fact, however inconclusive in
ltf.ic. Another provision of the Merritt
bill requires that the license shall be
taki:n out In the name of the person
si-lling tfhe liquor; and that It may be
withdrawn If any of the foregoing pro
visions be violated. In which event the
holder shall be dlsqualllled for two
years from getting another. This pro
Vision, re-lnforced by 'heavy penalties,
makes this bill a powerful one, as li
cense bills go.
It might be asked of Representative
MiWitt why, If the saloon business be
sufficiently obnoxious to Justify such
severe restrictions, it is not obnoxious
enough to warrant total prohibition;
end how, upon any terms, he can toler
ate state partnership In such a busi
ness, to the extent Involved In the high
license system. These would, we fear,
be troublesome questions for him to
answer, but not more troublesome for
him than they are becoming for those
persons generally who advocate the
licensing of a business that, according
to the very terms of such license. Is
manifestly objectionable. Neverthe
less, we recognize that public sent!
onent will move only so fast in this
direction; and legislation, to be effec
tive, must not be far ahead of public
sentiment. This Is about the only ex
cuse Intelligent citizenship can offer fot
the license system as It is familiarly
known in many portions of Pennsyl
vania. District Assembly No. 16, of the
Knights of Labor, Mas severed all rela
tions with the general assembly, omd Is
now an Independent organization).
Many other district assemblies
throughout ithe country ore In practi
cally the same plltlon, and there is a
project on foot to draw them together
Kind form a new order of the Knights
of Labor. "The lib yes combination over
reached Itsulf when It made its mem
orable flffhlt against T. V. Powderly.
Today what waa once the most magni
ficent labor orgain I nation that America
ever knew Js MMle more than a memo
ry. Imtprwal dissensions have depleted
Its ranks and robbed It of the useful
ness ilt once iRissessed.
About State Arbitration.
Several days ago we gave an ab
stract ot Ihe bill whereby Representa
tive Amen, of Clearfield county, pro
poses to prevent labor strikes a bill
chiefly conspicuous by Its' lack of a
penalty claUHe, which omission Is
manifestly fatal to Its usefulness. Wo
have since learned that almost the ex
act counterpart of the bill has been
Introduced by Representative Junes, of
Chicago, Into the Illinois legislature;
find It, likewise, has as we may say no
enacting clause, elnce Its whole compli
cated structure of Interference by a
state arbitration commission carries
with It no penalty for the Ignoring, by
either side to the dispute, of Its sapient
decisions.
This measure has now been followed
In the Illinois legislature by two others,
each elaborate with rospect to the du
ties and salaries of the arbitrators, the
arbitrator's chief clerk and the various
expert and common witnesses; but con
talnlng In each instance not the re
tnotest possible reference to a penalty
sufficient to give Vital forco to such
state arbitration. The details In which
these four bills differ are Immaterial;
tout the detail In whtuh tlvey coincide Is
startling In its unanimity and eugges
tlveness. The contention of these law
makers In every Instance Is Identical
with that of Governor Hastings when
he asserted, In effect, In tils recent In
augural address that the legal and con
Stltutional powers of the state,' In such'
disputes, end when the public has been
presented with an accurate and exhaus
tive official statement of the contro
versy's merits.
This, to foe sure. Is a thigh compliment
to :he average fairness and Justice of
tue i ivr.4!deratlng opinion of well-informed
citizens; but It offers Blight re
in ess for wrongs sustained in labor dis
putes of minor Importance, concerning
which the general public usually knows
rule and ca ts less. Only In contro
versies of an extraordinary magnitude
does public sentiment set Itself up as a
tribunal of Judgment; and even these
co .Irovcrsles are of late becoming so
frequent a to lack mudh of that novel
ty which Is a prime requisite to the at
tracting of widespread public attention.
What, we ask of Uhese various reform
ers. Is to become of the great anass of
small Industrial differences about
which public opinion rarely concerns It
self? Is state arbitration of them to be
merely an unnoticed farce?
The esteemed Elmlra Advertiser
seems considerably worried over the
suggestion that ex-Queen LilluoUalanl
may conclude to settle In the United
States. The Advertiser gives notice In
emphatic terms that Lll's presence Is
not desired here. This appears a trifle
uuchivalrous coming from a city like
Klmlra. There seems really no cause
for apprehension or serious objection
to the presence of the coffee colored
creature in this country unless it is
shown that she has been engaged by a
lecture bureau or that she contemplates
appearing as "Juliet."
Hypnotism in Courts.
The result of the trial of. Claus Bllxt
for the murder of Catharine Olng, at
Minneapolis, will no doubt be awaited
by ithe thoughtful citizen with more
than parsing Interest upon account of
the pecuiHsur line of tlrfmne to be pur
sued. When armjte-J fur the murder of
liho u fc'iivltv'S glitl liH.Mt claimed that
the crime had been committed while
he wai under the online tie.? of a hypno
tic spell cast over hlim by Harry Hay-
ward. In view of the ground wlildh the
implicit fa'ith in JiypnuMsin is gaining
in this country itihe danger of the suc
ceed of auch a plea muM become ap
parent at a glance. The insanity dodge
by whiich the perpetrators of many
fltindiisih ci ilmes have In past escaped
juitics sinks to Insignificance beside
1ihU new peclts of Jugglery whereby
the Intt'Higent Jury may be wheedled
Into returning) verdicts contrary kto
law and Juetilce. In the matter of tem
porary Insamiity it here luaa been, a cer
tain limit to the methods of defense in
a murder ease; but ithe possibilities of
the hypnotic theory are Incalculable.
In his manner of grasping the mes
meric straw Bllxt lhas evidently made
a great blunder. The peculiarity of
Ellxt's defense ila that he made the
plea of liypnotl'sm Immediately after
being accused of 'the crime, and there
in lk-s Its greatest weakness. It Is a
peculiarity of the hypnotic state that
the subject la quite oblivious of all that
may occur while under the influence.
The events of ithat period are as a blank
to him. lie is cognizant of ithem only
when placed agailn-under the Influence
and Induced to bear his mind upon
them. This Is no longer a theory of the
Bcknce, but a well-established fact.
Therefore, under these circumstances,
Olaus Bllxt would never, of his own
knowledge, ihave known of the death
of Miss (Jiing by his hand. The natuml
course 'Would !e for Ihlm to protest ig
norance of irhe event. Being thrown
under the Influence once more, he might
tell with willingness all the (totalis of
the crime, but until he succumbed to
another will Us mlsVl .would be a blank
as to ithe events of the might when, as
he says, he struck the fatal blows under
the direction of Harry Hayward's
will power. I'pon this account tt Is not
likcily tba.t success will oittend his ef
forts to escape punishment of some
mrt.
But the greatest danger constats In
allowing hypnutsim to gailn a foothold
in ithe'ounts a. a tine of defense. The
next red-handed aasa.ssln will probably
take warning from the experience of
Bllxt and be btitittr prepared with his
line of action. . If the hypnotic theory
Is given considtiratiyii by the counts
there appears to be no limit to the
complications that will wide to defeat
the ends of Justice.

This Is the Time to Think.
From now until Feb. 19 the voters of
Sorainton should do some earnest think
ing. The candidates for council are in
nomination and their merits and claims
to the positions they npire to fill nre
open for cdcnslseratlon. Let the voters
of Sora.nton wiigth well the qualities of
those who are oinxlous to be their ser
vants and nist that tlhey possess the
same sterling qualities that would
recommend ithem favorably for a high
position of private trust.
All of the men who aspire to be coun
ullmen have mat the qualifications ne
cessary for such a position. Council
men should fliwt of all be clean, ihonest
men of unques'tioined Integrity; they
should be broad-minded men who keep
constantly In view the necessities of
this rapidly growing municipality; men
who 'believe 'that the same degree of
care should be experienced in transit
ing public business as there would be
In oonduotlng a private enterprise.
Whit such counollmein Soranton will
continue to grow and flourish and pub
lic works will keep apace with the
ctty's development.
Incompetent and small caliber coun
cilman will continue to clog tihe wheels
of progress, as tihey have In the past, 4x
the great Injury of the city in mamy
wiaiys. Therefore itet good Judgment be
shown toy rtihe voters of the city on Feb.
19. Elect no man whose claims to the
since rest on the fact that he has been
a political thug and wants to go to
council to prove to' his neighbors that
"he can be honest."
Representative Ohamlea P. O'Malley,
of the Fourth district, la proving him
self a most active worker on tine floor
of the'houae at'llarrlsburg. He has
carefully studied the needs of his con
Btltuvnts. The latest Illustration of
that lis his action In Introducing a bill
grainting an appropriation of $12,000 to
the Caa-toowdaJe hospital.
Colonel William F. Cody, otherwise,
"Buffalo Bill," Insists. that there are no
cases of starvation in Nebraska and
that the people are not obliged to exist
upon prairie dog diet. The earnestness
with which Bill denounces tho stories
of suffering In Nebraska has given rise
to the suspicion that the long haired
ex-scout contemplates staking out a
portion of his 4,000 acre farm Into choice
town lots. 1
Patriotic citizens should not regard
too seriously the assertions made by
southern brigadiers In congress to the
effect that they are still proud of the
"Lost Cause." Democracy hasn't much
to be proud of these days.
The more carefully the powers of
Europe study the fighting proclivities
of Japan, the less anxious they Beem

The expansion of currency In the case
of Bill Cook, the outluw, Is remark

lilm $15, und yet a' reward of $1,000 was
offered for his capture.
Caslmlr-Perlor was too sensitive. He
should have looked in the direction of
the United States for a shining exampU
of the manner in which un executive
can bear up under grief.
The Duke of Orleans, who Imagined

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Abolish Capital Punishment.
General N. M. Curtis In tho nu
tionul house of representatives; The
severe penalties of our laws defeut
the ends for which they are enacted.
With a penalty which men of humane
sentiments ran not inflict, and therefore
are excused from Jury duty, places the ad
ministration of our criminal laws in their
linal determination, in the hands of the
stoical and Indifferent. Judges say Unit
of men drawn on Juries, from one-quarter
to three-fourths of the number, generally
the most Intelligent, are excused because
of conscientious scruples against the In
fliction of the death penalty, and as a con
sequence the panel Is composed of men
least quulilli'd to deckle Die Important
questions submitted to their determina
tion. The object of the law Is defeated
when It gives to any man on his own mo
tion power to excuse himself from per
forming the highest and most important
duty pertuinlng to the enforcement of the
laws. Last fall, In the of city Denver, on
the trial of a man charged with the mur
der of a woman, in which trials convic
tions nre ten times more certainly ob
tained than In those for the murder of
men, of twelve hundred drawn, eleven
hundred were excused hecuuse of their ob
jections to the infliction of the penalty of
death. Canning better knew the Impulses
of the human heart than his staid asso-
cltes In parliament when he assured them:
"It is vain to suppose that jurors will
enforce laws which are repugnant to the
best feelings of our nature." Sydney
Smith gave the true standard by which
to atllx efficient punishment: "The ef
ficient maximum of punishment Is not
what the legislature chooses to enact, but
what the great mass of the people think
that maximum ought to be." Legislators
have disregarded the demands for a re
vision of our laws until we have been com
pelled to enlarge our penitentiaries to re
ceive the dupes of great criminals, while
the teachers, through the imperfection of
our laws, and not by any means thiMn
ctlkiency or neglect of the officers of Jus
tice, are enabled to escape Its penalties.
The defout of the law In Its proper en
focement ugainst a single offense tends to
its demoralization In every part. Tiil-o
away Irredeemable punishments, so that
no man can, by stating his honest convic
tions or falsely representing his sensibil
ities, excuse himself from Jury service.
When this Is done, and not till then, yon
may discard that absurd fiction adhered
to In a free nation, that has no classes,
with all the tenacity of the barons when
tho crown and royalty oppressed tho
yeoman ami the vassal. Remove from our
practice the absurd provision that the
prisoner shall be first secured against the
enmity of the state; give him a sufficient
number of challenges, to Insure the exclu
sion from the jury of nil who knew him
and might bp prejudlcel by a knowledge
of his past life, and fill your Jury boxes
with Intelligent, fair-minded men, so that
It shall not be, -as within a short time,
when an Intelligent laborer was excused
because he rend a daily pnpor, and one
who could not read nml did not know the
namo of the mayor of his city, or the name
of the governor of his state, or of any man
who had been Its governor, whs accepted
to sit on a Jury Impaneled to try a man
charged with the crime of murder.
Homicides and Hangings.
Philadelphia Inquirer: "Carefully pre
pared statistics show thnt there wero
9.SU0 homlcliles In this country last year,
and only 1112 legal hangings, In ISM there
were 0,!H! of the former, so that the 1 1
crease Is out of nil proportion to tha
growth of the population. It Is not the
fault of the character of the penalty for
murder that this crime Is Increasing so
greatly, but rather the fault of a lack nf
.execution of the penalty, (sentimental
prejudice against thp carrying out of
jilupltal punishment und the readiness
with which lawyers resort to all possible
technicalities by which murderers can be
snved from the gallows have helped to
stay, and often to prevent, tho execution
of Justice. Not only, too, Is murder In
creasing, but It Is being Invested with un
usually roptilunt features. The merce
nary motive predominates In muny cases,
and the perpetrators niako their arrange
ments as coolly as If they were about to
selzn upon a piece of real estate Instead of
to take a human life. Avarice seems to
have destroyed conscience to a great ex
tent, and Insano eagerness to be rich has
smothered tho best Instincts of humanity,
Imprisonment for life has often been
urged an a substitute for hanging, but for
thu ordinary murderer It has no terrors.
To be housed and warmed and well fed at
the expense of the state brings Impplnens
to the mind of the criminal. Today there
are in our prisons hundreds of murderers
who are treated as no more to be abhorvd
than the most commonplace thief who
Is In the same Institutions. No person
knows when the official power will bo
evoked to save the murderer from the
gallows or open the prison doors and send
him out as a menace to society. The
emotionalism which has made the gal-
lowi hldeauii has undoubtedly, had an in
fluencs In iloarrnvlmr the sanctity which
human life possesses."
Supremacy of Law May Be Maintained
Without Sacrifice of Life.
Wrote Governor Seward: "All Institu
tions of government are Imperfect; sub
ject to the law of Improvement. Despot
ism says, 'No, because they are old.' A
different principle prevails in America.
As the intelligence of the people increases
the power of government may be abridged,
Tho high reputations of our prisons has
becomo Impaired by the complaints of Its
inhumanity. In their management moral
inlluouce Instead of severe corporal pun
ishment should be employed. Discipline
should be tempered with kindness. Kvory
philanthropist clings to the hope that tho
supremacy of the laws will be maintained
without exacting tho sacrifice of life."
Daniel O'Connell Favored thclAbolltlonof
Capital Punishment.
i Kesolved, That the excessive severity or
the law operates to the total Impunity of
a great proportion of offenders by de
terring humane persons from prosecuting,
and by holding out a temptation to Jurors
to violate their oaths rather than be ac
cessory to Judicial murder; while almost
temperate and wholesome principles of
statute books ure Innovations upon the
all the capital punishments now on tho
the ancient common law of the land,
which had ever been admired for Its hu
manity und wisdom by the greatest le
gal authorities, and Is coeval vlth tho
noblest and best principles of the Kngllsh
constitution." Daniel O'Connell, M. K,
seconded by J. Sydney Taylor, A. M.,
