Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - September 23, 1878, Winnipeg, Manitoba Manitoba. It Kee press september 23. Daily edition. I3, js78. though the sentiment embodied in the above words does not commend Tseh to the Complete approval of men of enlarged and patriotic minds who encourage As Well As would always be Content to make some sacrifices for Tho general Good of their common country the circumstances of this province unquestionably demand that her politicians should recognize the exceptional peculiarities of her position. If a really National Issue wore involved such As an amendment of the Constitution of tiie Dominion or some change in the nature of the tie that binds us to the Mother country it would be Only right As Well As expedient that the population of Manitoba should to willing to sink self interest to a very great extent in order to remove a possible hindrance to the accomplishment of a purpose in tended to contribute to the general Good. Tiie subject of taxation however has to be viewed not Only As a question of ways Ami Means to the providing of Revenue but in its bearing upon the industries of each particular province and the Well being of its population. Or. Morris to the contrary notwithstanding the question of the taxation of imported proceedings of Joks. Jie was Tola turn articles has undoubtedly been the Prin-1 he might order for his Comfort wha Tove Cipal Issue of the contest in the other he pleased but he declined to Avail provinces and while the opposite Par of the privilege of the headman ties have argued on either Side in sup port of their own opinions on the sex should be remembered that the gods help those who help and no one can expect his neighbors to pity his grievances his if own supine in difference has been the sole obstacle to their being represented. Berlin letter 20t.li to new York world. A Loeckel s execution was something quite out of the common oven for Ber liners. Mot since february 1865, when Louis Grothe a Young Man who with his mistress and his Mother had hacked in pieces and thrown into the River a French Tench fir named Cirey was executed had the ago fallen on a guilty wretch s the capital that is 1 or there were a i new executions provinces. Tho old emperor practice was to commute the sentence when a death warrant was handed to and to would have spared Jiedel s us in its old place above the Block on which the head of the burgomaster Zscheck executed about thirty years ago for an attempt upon the life of Frederick William in was struck Oft and beneath the thong with which his head was fastened to the Block. An inscription has been placed beside it As follows May 11, 1s7s, Jiedel Journeyman tin Smith fired Unter Den Linden a Revol ver at . William emperor of Ger Many and King of Prussia july Del was condemned to death by the court of appeals at Berlin this judg ment was confirmed by Imperial decree August 8, , August 10, Hoedel s head was struck Oft with this axe by the headman Krantz in the Yard of the cellular prison of Moabite. The police authorities at Leipsic communicated the news of Hoedel s death to his rather his Mother and the Day that it occurred and to would have spared Jiedel s uie aay Taai it occurred life had not the Crown Prince and Prince Ancl correspondent of a Berlin paper von Bismarck pressed to remember Intel viewed the old people immediately Flint alter Wai is. The Mother is Viv that clemency Here might socialist assassins elsewhere in Germany. It was on the afternoon of thursday that Hoedel who occupied a cell in the City prison was informed that the Law was to take its course. Lie bit his lips and turned deadly Pale. Then muttered to a keeper who stood by they re Only trying to frighten not said the keeper that s really your death he asked to be allowed to write an Appeal for mercy but was told that it was too late then he asked that lie might be executed 011 the Kreuzberg a Well known Hill in the sub i urls associated with the revolution Nav. Proceedings of js48. He was told tha petted influence of projected changes on the general Trade of the Dominion they have not neglected to discuss the probable effect of an increased Tariff upon the Prosperity of their particular provinces. There is nothing therefore unpatriotic in Ilani zobans expressing with the utmost Freedom their senti ments on the proposed changes in the fiscal arrangements of Canada. It is necessary that the voice of the province should be heard not Only in regard to the injurious Eft act which it is Felt that a general increase of the Tariff will have upon local interests but that a spokes Man should be sent to the House of commons who will Point out what particular articles imported for our Farmers it is the interest of Manitoban should not be suddenly enhanced in value to suit the interests of Ontario manufacturers. The result of the elections in Manitoba shows that the province has not so far a. Representative pledged to protes against a High rate of duty being ii pos eel upon the waggons harvesters an other agricultural implements which i is important to All interested in the North West the new settler should b Able to Purchase As cheap As possible if we Are to have no one to Tell the eminent and the House of common where the shoe pinches Manitoban and what particular articles she is Intel ested in obtaining at a Low Cost shall w not stand at a terrible disadvantage ii face of the fact that the supporters the new government Are generally pledged to demand a High Tariff in Aid of the manufactures of their several localities sir John is not a Manitoban he a never been in the country and canno therefore appreciate or sufficiently e Plain the Peculiar interests of the Imin Grant settler in the North West. I Schultz being a pronounced support of the administration coming into office is not Likely to oppose them on the mos vital principle upon which they accede to National policy. I. Selfishness is sufficiently Well known in deed he could not be depended on from voting for the taxation o his own constituents if he saw his Way by embarking in a manufacturing enter prise in Ontario make Money at the expense of the misguided electors who have returned . Or. Dubuc whose honorable career in provincial politics has secured Bis election in Provencher by acclamation proclaims himself an Independent at any rate no pledge has been obtained from that he will oppose or criticize the National policy where contrary to the interests of this How can the people of Manitoba expect a. Protest is to be made against additional burdens being bound upon their shoulders unless availing them selves of their last Chance they return a representative from Selkirk to guard their interests it should be remembered that in politics As in love silence gives consent and surely if Manitoba is so bashful As not to feel capable of saying no when a question vitally affecting her future welfare is plainly put to her she must not hereafter give give Way to vain regrets because she finds herself a victim of misplaced Confidence. There is no gainsaying the fact that if Manitoba sends not a single representative to parliament pledged to oppose an increase of the certain articles it is essential to her Prosperity to obtain As cheap As possible she will have no right hereafter to com Plain that the enhanced prices prove a serious drawback to the Progress of the As it is called though for the incarceration h subsequently he tool first time since called for a bottle of wine and some Beer. At . The condemned Man a removed in a prison Van to the Penitentiary at Moabite in the North Western suburbs and lodged in a Strong cell. The lutheran chaplain or. Heinicker accompanied my passed the night Chat Ting with . Chatting is the prope word for whenever the pastor attempted to turn the conversation to religious subjects Hoedel interrupted rudely the condemned Man spoke very freely while smoking. Had i been placed under other he said might perhaps have not come to this brought up differently i might have been another. Man then he added must play my part to the end As i began toward morning he fell asleep Anc was sleeping soundly when at he a awakened to die. Hardly was he pro pared for the scaffold than he thrust his Cigar in his Mouth. You Are free to do so if you said the Clergyman by i would rather you did not take tha with very Well i won t said Hoedel. If its any pleasure t the scaffold was erected in the prison Yard where about fifty persons Magis trates and lawyers municipal officials military officials and members of the police some reporters were gathered. The prisoner conducted by three wardens walked with a firm step to the scaffold and stared impudently around at the Assembly. Councillor Holl Man who was charged with superintend ing the execution took his place at the table and read loudly the death sentence and the death warrant. At the conclusion Hoedel spat upon the ground Anc cried the magistrate now turned to a tall strongly built thirty or thirty five years of some with a Small moustache and neatly indeed elegantly attired in a Fine Linen shirt with Waistcoat and Trou Sers of Black Broadcloth. This was Herr Krantz the executioner. The of headman w. Ren Del who had grown Rich through the exercise of his minor function of dog Catcher to the City was not longer equal to the serious Laboroi striking Oft a Man s head at a blow Anc so passed Over his rather the duplicate of his the younger Man. No such implement having been needed for More than a decade the department of Justice found itself compelled to resort to the Market museum. An axe had been ordered a year ago by the director of the museum an exact duplicate of that Reindel had employed and which the museum was unable to secure owing to the fancy Price the old headman placed upon his weapon. This axe was borrowed Herr Grossman the Cutler of whom one had been ordered being unable to get one ready in time it is a Large weapon a Good Deal like a Butcher s Cleaver in appearance with a very keen straight Edge. It was ground to the Sharpness of a razor the afternoon before the execution. Holding up the warrant that the Heads Nan might see the Crown Prince s Signa councillor Hollmann said to note this document and now receive rom me the tinsmith Emil Heinrich Max Hoedel delivered to you to be behead id. Come this said the headman to Hoedel who ran lightly up the three Steps leading to the platform and threw off his coat and Waist coat. At this monent the Chapel Bell began he gazed in its direction then looked round upon those present with an ironical province. Even the staunchest conservative possible must now be satisfied that the return of or. Morris is notes Sencial to the safety of the party we Are not therefore without Hope that Many an elector who under other circumstances would have Felt bound to Swallow Protection along with a conservative candidate will now see the necessity of so exercising his franchise As to secure at least thorough criticism of every pro posed tax calculated to be specially obnoxious to Manitoban. People who do not look after their own interests Are often found among the first to complain Wrhen their affairs go contrary but it Neer. Throwing Down his braces Loedel began to unbutton his shirt but Only not unfasten one of the buttons. Neof the wardens went to his assist Ince and turned it Down beneath his holders leaving the neck and the up or part of the breast Bare. Meanwhile to other keepers had tied the con embed Man s arms and Ankles. They Lien carried pinioned and helpless o the Block which was of Stout hard with a hollow to receive the neck and painted blood red. Laying or t face downwards a Strong leather Bane fastened Over the Back of the heat o that it could not be moved and a Learly defined Mark was offered for the Erdsman s blow. Opening a Leathern Case on which wore in Gold the figures Krantz took out the glittering new axe and taking his aim with an almost imperceptible glance swung the to weapon aloft afterwards. The Mother is overcome by the news and cannot believe that her son is dead. She insists on coming to Berlin to see for herself. The Stepfather takes the whole business very coolly Ancl cobbles his customers and putts his pipe while discussing with stoical indifference his Stepson s crime and its atonement. In the last letter but one which Hoedel sent Home he wrote i eat and drink Well and Hope you Are As Light hearted As i am. What matters it if they lop off my head. My career is Nobiling s turn will come in due course suppose. And talking of Nobeline when Becker the student made his me Morable attempt at assassination at a Den Baden a merchant at Cologne who the would be murderer s name had it changed by Law to that of his wife which happened to be Nobling. He is going to change it again but to what does not appear. To parents and guardians Lam prepared of take As articled a null Well educated Young gentleman not under 1 years of age.
