tnere was something in one or tap
papers to which the Judge took ex

hot political campaign, and-ir our
recollection is right the case
referred to had a political bearing.
At such times a larger license is
permissible. In the present case
we were not aware that there existed
a disposition to unfavorable critic
ism, although we know that the
patience of the people is well nigh
exhausted. Indeed the papers are
censurable for acts of omission
instead of acts of commission. The
interests of the public would be
better served by criticism in some
cases.

An unofficial notice in the
State Journal savs there will be a
meeting of the" Bepublican State
Central Committee on August 7th.
We have seen no official call to
that effect. The purpose of the
meeting is to fix the representation
of the various counties in the State
Convention when it should be
called, so that those which desire
to hold earley county conventions
for the purpose of getting their
local tickets in the field may nomi
nate their candidates and select
their delegates to the state conven
tion, all but with one series of cau
cusses and county conventions.
By reference to the proceed
ings of a meeting held at Whittier,
it will be seen that the Republicans
of the northeastern part of the
county have united on a man for
county commissioner, aud will come
down to the convention as a unit
on that office. While this action
does not insure nomination, it will
go a good way toward insuring suc
cess. But The Tribune would
not discourage other candidates.
The position is a highly honorable
one, that any citizen should be
proud to fill. That which is ob
tained without a struggle is not
appreciated when obtained.

Edison is decidedly in favor of
execution by electricity. He was
summoned before the court in the
Kemmler execution case and testi
fied that "he had no doubt what
ever of the power of the alternating
current to kill the man instantan
eously and painlessly, and was sure
it would be done without burning.
A man could be completely carbon
ized by an electric current, but it
would take 1,500 horse power to do
it. If you took a Westinghouse
current of 1,050 volts and kept it
apnjied to the human body five
or six minutes it would not be car
bonized, but mumified. This was
because of the water in the body
being gradually absorbed." In the
hands of Edison executions by elec
tricity might be successfully accom
plished and a great improvement
over the hanging process, but in
the hands of a bungler they might
in many cases prove actual massacres.
