Capital Piflshaeit.
Secretary of State Tindall has
written a very thoughtful and sug
gestive article on the question of
the best method of punishing those
who have been convicted of serious
crimes, and takes strong ground in
favor of substituting life imprison
meat for hanging, ip the case ol'
those who have been guilty of mur
der and offenses of a like nature.
Mr. Tindall calls attention to the
fact that the inflietion of capita:
punishment has apparently been
powerless to deter men from the
commission of serious crimes, and in
view of this argues that it might be
well to change the law as regards the
punishment of these crimes. He
thinks that there would be more
convictions were this change made,
and expresses the opinion that life
imprisonment holds out more terror
for the man contemplating the com
mission of crime than anything else
that could be presented to him.
It is a question of vital impor
tance, and Mr. Tindall’s art!
cle is well calculated to direct pub
lic attention to the subject, especial
ly when his calm and dispassionate
review of it u considered.
For a long time we entertained the
Mine views that Mr. Tindall does,
bat on serious reflection we are fore
•d to the conclusion that all things
considered it would scarcely be ad
vUable to change the law, and are
clearly of the opinion that we must
find the remedy for this prevalance
of crime in some other direction.
This change has been tried in
number of States, but the result has
not been snch as to leave room for
touch hope for the better, and even
Where there was an apparent diminu
tion of crime the improvement was
Very probably owing to other causes.
One ef the difficulties in the way is
that it would add to the already too
numerous armies of convicts in our
prisons and correspondingly increase
the difficulty of dealing withthem :
not only as regards safe keeping bu;
also to prevent their becoming too
serious a burden on the financial re
resources of the State. Then too it
must be borne in mind that as
rule the men who commit very
heinous crimes are dangerous as lon j [
as life lasts, and no matter how se
curely they may be guarded there
always exists the possibility of their
escape and a renewal of their crimi
nal career, to My nothing of the
great danger that attends those who
have them in charge. The convicts
knows that nothing wors* than
death can come to them, and this is
not sufficient to deter them from
tourdering a keeper in order to gratt
ify a feeling of revenge or for the
purpose of escaping from prison.
t What is needed is a more rigid en
forcement ojf tty tyw, whether it b*
ty? imprisonment or hanging, bty
in p/rder to effect this there must ty a
yfly radical change in public senti
ment, for when reviewed in its
proper light, the findings of juries
in criminal cases, although denounc
ed by individuals, are on the whole
but a reflex of public sentiment
If this were \ .. true a jury that re
fused to find a verdict according to
the facts of. the case would be so
promptly ostracised by public opin-
ton, that a similar miscarriage of
justice would not again occur.
As Senator Bntler is such an ar
dent advocate of free coinage, we
take the liberty of suggesting
propriety of his enlightening his
constituents as to the great benefits
that will follow the enactment of
such a law, especially as to the pro-
by which congress can make
ite worth oae dollar,

We were not aware until too late
lor our last issue, that the Sumter
Guards cheered the Darlington
Guards after the decision of the
judges was made public. The ex
planation of the failure of The
Hf.rai.i> representi tive to hear this
is that he happened to be on the
other side of the ring and could not
know what was going on so far off.
The fact of the matter was, to make
honest confession, that The
Herald reporter fell among thieves,
who stripped him of his badge and
eft him in a sadly demoralized con
ition, from which he was not re
lieved until one of the thieves, struck
with sudden remorse, enacted the
the part of the good Samaritan and
bore him off to a place of safety.
The fair penitent could not restore
the stolen badge, but did all in her
power, and with a considerable de
gree of success, to reconcile him to
its loss. Of course there was no
intention to be unjust to the Sumter
Guards or to hold them responsible
l or the exaggerrated statements that
appeared in some of the papers. The
Elation of Darlington Over the vic
tory of jts company was the highest
compliment that could be paic
our friends from Charleston, for
if the contest bad be«n against poor
ly drilled companies there wouk.
iave been no credit in defeating
them. To have wrung ihe cham
pionship from such a company as
the Snmters was enough to make
any military organization proud of
its efficiency.
The governor has added to his
other numerous accomplishments
that of a whiskey expert, and he has
been telling the people what terribly
mean iiquor they have been drinking
heretofore, and how much better
it will be when furnished by the
State. It is a very difficult matter
to decide as to which should excite
the greater admiratiou, Mr. Tillman’i
amazing conceit or his insatiable
ambition. In his own estimation he
is competent to fill any position either
in State or church. If he were made
Czar of Russia he would not be ou
the imperial throne a day before he
would‘be indulging in dreams of
universal empire, or if he were elect
ed Pope of Rome he would insist on
knowing more about the doctrines
of the catholic chnrch than all o::
the prelates that compose its college
of cardinals.
New Petenei f#r Juie,
A symposium of Western authors
is the name for the June New
Peterson. Many of the best-known
writers from Chicago to the Pacific
Coast are represented, together with
the most promising new poets,
romancers, and essayists. Joseph
Kirkland, Joaquin Miller, Gertrude
Atherton, Mary Abbott, Opie Read,
Stanley Waterloo, Ernest McGaffey,
Le Roy Armstrong, Harriet Monroe,
Carrie B. Morgan, Patience Stapleton,
and other popular authors have
place. “Pacific Coast Writers,” with
their portraits, by Ella Higginson,
makes one of the attractions. Another
illustrated article which cannot fai
to attract great attention is “The
Forest’s Last Stronghold,” by Hon,
F. I. Vassault, a vivid account of the
lumbering camps of Washington.
“The Garden Spot of Washington/
by Herbert Bashford, and “Ted
Blank,” by Eflie W. Merriman, both
sketches beautifully illustrated
count among the gems of the number.
“Cloudland,” by John Vance Cheney,
is, beyond question, one of the fines
of his poems. “A Shelf Full of
Western Books” is Octave Thanet’
welcome contribution. We heart!/
recommend to our readers this enter
prising periodical, which has so
quickly established its claim to tike
a front rank among American
magazines.

THE OLD VIOLIN MAKERS.
Tk« Manner In Welch the Wood WM
llnndlcd to tiot Perfection.
The great violin makers all lived
within the compass of one hundred and
fifty years. They chose their wood
from a few great timbers felled in the
South Tyrol, and floated down In rafts,
pine and maple, sycamore, pear and
ash. They examined these to find
streaks and veins and freckles, valu
able superficially when brought'out by
varnishing.
They learned to tell the dynasty of
the pieces of wood by touching them;
they weighed them, they struck them
and listened to judge how fast or slow,
or how resonantly they would vibrate
in answer to strings. Some portions
of the wood must be porous and soft,
some of close fiber. Just the right
beam was hard to find; when found it
can be traced all through the violin of
some great master, and after hia.death
in those pf his pupils.
The piece of wood was taken home and
■easoned, dried in the hot Brescia and
Cremonia snn. The home of Stradl-
varius, the great matter of all, is
described as having been as hot at an
oven. Tne wood was there soaked
through and through with sunshine.
In tble great heat the oils thinned and
almmered slowly and penetrated far
into the wood, until the varnish bo*
earns a part of the wood ItMlf.
The old violin makers uted to save
every bit of the wood, when they
found what they liked, to mend and
patch and inlay with it So vibrant
and so resonant is the wood of good
old violins that they murmur and echo,
and king in answer to any sound.-**

Escapee Id a Cloud of Mud.
One of the most perilous occupation!,
next to the manufacture of dynamite,
is diving for pearla The suceessfal
diver must be courageous, active and
endowed with great presence of mind.
A diver engaged in the pearl fisheries
of the gulf of California tells the story
of one of his experiences. He had filled
a bag with oysters and was about to
ascend when, looking up, he saw a big
shark watching him. To rise to the
•urfece would be fatal The man
moved quickly to the opposite side of a
rock, stirred up a great cloud of mud,
roMiqthe darkness and reached, the
side of the boat just in time to escape
the jaws of the big man-eater. Had
the diver hesitated an Instant to con*
ceal his movements In the only manner
possible his life would have paid the
penalty.—Harper's Young People.
A Kkir afrd a Harr.
A small pupil in one of our schools
Stood before her teacher at recess with
the half of an apple In each hand. •
“Which half Is the biggest, Miss
H—-7”
Her teacher was in a mood to be crit
ical, and answered:
"A half is a half, whether it’s half of
an apple or half of the world. So, you
Me, If your apple Is cut exactly in halves
one half must be just the size of the
other half.”
The eye* of the little pupil filled with
tears as she heard this scholarly discus*
lion, but she still held out the two
“halves” of her apple, although her
little hands trembled.
•T didn’t mean it that way, teacher,”
ety said, sweetly. “I wantgrou to have
tye biggest half”
"Thank you, my dear,” said the teach-
«f, who suddenly discovered that it took
yery little learning to be generous and
thoughtful—Detroit Tree Press.
