The land is full of vinlanra and larirelv SO because the rnnrta fail to execute exact justice, In our opinion there can Denonum an covernment worthy ot tne name without capital punishment ; This indeed seems to be tne Dasisoigov ammont Th divine abhorrence of murder is seen in the Almighty's curse upon aa well as his statement to the first murderer: "The voice of thy brothr's blood crieth unto Me from the ground." The voice of blood! The age in which we live seems to have forgot- ten that blood has a voice. That was God's first word about murder. There must have been, a raad deal of it in the earth in the ireneral wickedness which cnlminat ad in the iudcment of the Duluge. There is a hint of the conditions which nrevailed in this day dawn time of history in what Lamech said to his two wives: "I have slain a vounfif man who wounded me Of course old Lamech was acting in self-defence. AfterGod's "great moral wash day," as Noah emerges from the ark, and God is giving mankind a new steer, a fresh start, almost the first we hear Him say - He remembers the pre Deluge violence is: 'Surelv vour blood of your lives will I reauire: . . . at the hand of every man's brother will I re quire the life of man. 'Whose eheddeth man's blood, by nan shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made He man.'! When was this divine law ever abrogated? What right have Sta tesas some States have done to forbid capital punishment, to abol ish into the death penalty? , The in crease of the maudlin senumeni nominal-, canit&l -pnniBhmsrtt' has. got a good deal .to do with the in f requency of convictions' for mur der todav. ft is contrary to the di vine mandate. The success of hu man covernment is absolutely de pendent upon the just infliction of the death penalty, Yes, it is terri ble to swing a human soul out in eternity from a scaffold, but not more so than to shoot a ball or nluntre a knife into a human heart. Anything else will culminate into utter anarchy. The voice of blood crieth unto me from the ground. The voice of Abel's blood as it stained with crimson the green o-rasB about the sheenfold wa" but a baby's wail. If it reached unto heaven, how the sound waves ot unaventred 2oth century murder must be battering the bottom sides of the golden streets. It is enough to crack the ear-drums of a million angels. The earth is become vast ohonoarraob. reverberating in to the very ear ot God the red din of unpunished murder. The voice of old Dr. Payne's blood, the voice of Carmacks blood, the voice of Wm. SimoBon's blood- all this blood tone may not be loud enough for cowardly iurors to hear, but it crieth unto Me":; salth the Al mlirhtv. It is more than apt to take a two-weeks term at the Judg ment to finish up with guuty money, guilty influence, etc. , in the . unavenged human murder Cases. ! j! ;r V s';! t: Statesmen, judges, lawyers, ' citi ten jurors listen to; the voice of blood.
