This is because the new law .providing for the execution of murderers jby electricity, which goes inio effect 'January 1st, prohibits the publication of any detailed account of the carrying out of tli,' death penalty. A la ge majority of the editors in the state cheerfully an¬ nounce that they will take special pains to violate the law as often as criminals are executed. The < onstitution's delara- tion that no law shall restrain or abridge ithe liberty of speech or of the press, they Isay, is in direct opj o.otion to this effort to muzzle them. Believing that the law is unconstitutional they will treat it with contempt. But in case the courts shall decide that it is valid, jails and ated jouinalism in the may be. om? closely associ¬ right empire state. Still the edit¬ ors are and the law is wrong. If it be made a misdemeanor to give the inews, then is the freedom of the press taken away by violence. Next will come the despotism of Russia. The other evening f went into an up¬ town restaurant for dinner and found my friend, Gen. Geo ga Sheridan, who invited me to sli r his table.

On one occasion he was asked to say grace at he table of a friend. He struggled through the body of the sup¬ plication very creditably, but could not, for the life 'of him, remember how to cl »e it. Finally, “Respectfully in desperation, he con- O. cluded with: yours, Ditson." Another version has it that the phrase used was. “Yours truly. Oliver Ditson:" but a gentleman that was there declares that it is a sf ecimen of inaccu¬ racy of second-hand relation.
