In the: StateH of Rhode Island, Michigan. ; Wisconsin and Maine where the! death penalty has been abolished, j life is more secure than in other States of the Union. The death penalty was abolished in Switzerland in 1 S7t) and it is the most peaceful nation of En- j rope. Portugal abolished capital punishment in 1*07 and murders in that country have decreased more than one half. The acts of our last Congress j prove that tho murderous spirit is rampant in the United States. Congress appropriated $180,075,- j 278 t<? the army and navy, the de- j partmenta of our government de-j \ oted to killing, and to agriculture, devoted to feeding our population, only $5,2US,!MK) were approptiated.

Mr. Mitchell took the matter before the presidents of the various unions, and after much dissenssioti upon the subject, sent President roosevolt a letter stating that he found it impossibly to comply with his suggestion and as"sured him that the only manner in which the strike could be called off was by concessions on the part of the operators. In refusing to accept the terms suggested, the miners doubtless remember bow little attention was paid to Roosc POEMS THAT WILL LIVE. ! CROSSING THS BAR. | TKXNVSoV. ! Sunset and evening star.

This is a matter which should bo considered of suflicient importance by every qualified Democratic voter to prompt him to po to the polls and vote for the pnrty nominee. The bipper majority the Democratic nominees receive, the less tin* probability of their heats beinp contested, lie it said tr> the discredit of our State, only a few years ago Congressman Shnfroth, of Colorado, received inoie votes than our entire delegation in the Congress to which lie was elected. U V * The nomination of the Hon. Win. R. Hearst, of Now York, as a oindidnto for Congress from the eleventh district, is a source of much gratification to Democratic leaders. In his acceptance of the nomination Mr. Hearst gave evidence that he was well tilted for the duties of representative. He vigorously denounced the trusts and made such a forcible statement that his followers are looking to him already as promising timber on tho Democratic side of the House. * * Under the pressure brought to bear by President Roosevelt, Gov. Stone bus finally ordered the entire military strenght of Pennsylvania to the scene of the coal strike and now the operators have an opporluity to make good their claim that they can nonesufficent coal to meet present deimmds, irrespective of the miners union. * ?
