They represent that ''lumber is ono o

is that white labor is employed am

small a margin tomillmen that if they
aro compelled to compoto with tho
produot of froo timber lands, low in
torcut ami contract labor of llritish

The report of tho Commissioner
appointed by tho Now York Logisla
turo to report tho most humane and
practical method known to modern

tence of death in capital cases, recom
mends killing tho culprits by tho uso
of electricity. In regard to tho ad
vantages of electricity tho Commis
sioner says: "Its application can bo
mado without injury to tho otlloials;
tho place for its uso may bo Btriotly
privato, and its certninty is boyond a
doubt. Ono objection to tho uso of
electricity is tho shook which people
tmiiistructed in ita uso suppose is in
lliotcd on tho comlomned man. As a
matter of fact, tho electric vhoek can
not produce a solvation which can bo
porcoptiblo to tho criminal. Tho ve
locity of tho current is bo great that
tho brain is paralyzed." Tho Coin
missioiior recommends that a chair
with head and foot rests could bo used
in which tho condemned man could
bo seated in a half reclining position.
Ono wire could bo connected with tho
head rest and tho other with tho foot
rest, which would bo a motal plate.
Tho eleotrin current could bo supplied
hy electric light wiros. Tho Com
jmiBsionor rccontmonds thut tho date
of the execution bo mado uncertain,
o that tho criminal may not know
what day ho is to dio, and that tho
corpses go to tho doctors or to a i.amo
leag grave without roligious rites, and
that newspapers bo forbiddon to give
