THE EVENING &TAR: WASHINGTON. D.c.. THURSDAY, AUGUST 7. 1890. THE EVENING § WASHINGTO Advertising Medium is worth the other papers published in The circumstances of the first legal execu- tion by electricity indicate that there is no tertainty of instantaneous death upon the ap- lication of such a current as was used in ewmier’s case. To this extent the critics of the new method of inflicting the death penalty are justified But there is nothing to indicate that this manner of death is cruel, or that it is not far more certain, and far less painful and horrible than death by strangulation, as in Langing. Successive failures to kill by hang- ing, restoration to life of men hanged, Jong continuance of the death agonies of the hanged, cases of such horrors as the complete separation of the head from the body at the scaffold, are matters of record, Hanging is an outgrown barbarism, and some other method of inflicting the death penalty must take its place. ‘The first experiment with elee- tricity as this substitute is not conclusive. It is clearly au improvement upon hanging, but au improved apparatus applying a current in- stantaneousiy fatal must be devised before the wishes of the public in respect to the method Of disposing of murderers will be fully satis- fied. The advocates of the use of electricity for inflicting the death penalty are in condition to suggest that all beginnings are crude. No great inventions of any time have sprung fected into use, Time and practice are re- juired to put them into proper working order, and an electric execution ten years hence will no more resemble, in the appliances and meth- eds of action, that of today than does a great Iecomotive in burnished brass and steel re- semble the “Puiting Billy” of Stevenson's earliest efforts. — + Is next District day to be wasted, as several of its predecessors have been in attempting to auould the Atkinson railroad bill into a shape ia which Congress can swallow it? This work ought to have been done in committee, and the Dill ought to be sent promptly back to commit- tee in order that it may now be done. Other District matters demand legislative attention. ‘They ought not to be postponed and perhaps defeated through delay, while the railroad company absorbs all the District's legislative time in an obstinate effort to force through Congress by means of its lobby a measure which in its present shape is outrageously un- States are quarrelling over the census re- turns as well as cities. The Portland chamber of commerce in communication with the Ore- gon delegates in Congress opens the racket in a lively manner, all because a census enumer- ation doesnot bear outa proportionate in- crease with the figures cast at the recent elec- tions. Oregon waats to know, you know, how it is that she can give 73,400 votes at the state election this year and be enumerated in the census at 264,242, while Washington cast- ing only 58,443 votes is put down in the census at 339,000 population. Oregon thinks she has 418,300 population andis quite sure that she ought not to lose a representative while Wash- ington gains one. The minority of the judiciary committee of the Senate, including Senator Edmunds, it is understood, favor such division of the Supreme Court into separate tribunals for the trial of cases ag would enable the justices to hear three cases atone time. With all deference to Sena- tor Edmunds, who has no superior, perhaps, in the borders of the republic as a lawyer, it may be in order for a layman to ask, can there be three Supreme Courts of the United States under the present Constitution; and, if so. why not make uine, or as many courts as justices, and clear up the docket at once? ee The traditions of the Spanish portion of the “Latin race” have not always, but only for about centuries, been autocratic. The small northern kingdoms—Visigothic more than Latin—of the Iberian peninsula, which subsequently formed the power that conquered the Moors of Andalusia and established the single Spanish monarchy, were the first peo- ples in Europe to set up borough representa- tion im the national legislature.

A Bazous I “AN UNUSUAL ADVANTAGE IN TRADE.” WHEN “BARGAINS” ARE OF- FEKED, IT IS WELL TO CONSIDER WHAT THEY ARE.
