PREMATURE BURIALS.

=

ener

The New York Herald, both in
ita home and foreign issues, has
started afresh discussion as to the
probability that many persons are
entombed alive,

Nothing could justify the pro
jection of so disayreeable a topic

. upon the public, except a hearty
belicfin the danger alleged, and

o@sincere hope that agitation of

the question may result in more
care being taken to avert it.

ft adds a n3w horror to the
King of Terrors, when one thinks
that he may possibly close his life
Within the confives of a coffin
five feet below the surface of the
earth. But we have never taken
much stock in the average story
of men aud women buried alive,
Usually, the evidence relicd upon
to establish the fact is of the

othinnestT description. Weknow
of andertakers who have had
occasion to disinter many dead

_bodies, and who have said that
in the course of their long lives
they have never seen any proof
that any one of these bodies had
been buried alive. So far from
it, to their minds, the proof was

; quite conclusive in the other di-
rection. :

Of course, we concede that men
and women haye been umnten-~
tionally burned alive, but in mod
ern times such cases have been

~of excevding rarity. In times of
epidemic, or where trom other
causes, burials are very numerous,

~gnd very hastily made, . people
may be buried alive, but it cannot
easily occur otherwise. Yet
there are many who, in their last
hours, are haunted by the fear of
being hurried into their graves
untimely, and who make requests
to ward off such calamity. And,
-~Of those who direct that their
bodies be cremated, not a few, we

Buspect, are moved thereto by the

fear of premature burial. We
are not quite. sure thet one who

@wakens from a deathlike sieep in

@ fiery furn:ce is much better off

than he who awakes in a grave;

%

The Herald. may gather here
8nd there evidence of premature
burial, but the cases are iew,
indeed"possibly, a few out of
millions, Yet, as none of us wish
to share the fate of these unhappy
few, we cannot but wisi: that in
every case due piecautions should
be obseryed. Usuzlly, we may
adopt, as competent advisers,
ohysicians and experienved uo-
dertakers, or funeral directors,
though inthe process of decom-
position nature herself has pro-
vided a safeguard better than any
oth-r. :

The efforts of the Herald to
put this whole question before
the public may urouse dreadful
forebodings upon the part of
some; but, in the end, will doubt-

cause greater care ro be exercised

Can the State Do It?
Governor Russell in his inau-
gural address to the legislature,
among &@ number of excellent
suggestions, calls attention to the
habit of foreign corporations do-
ing business in this State, when
sued in our State courts, of re-
moying their cases tothe Federal
courts, and advises the enuct-
ment of a law prohibiting that
course, or what amounts to the
same thing, of allowing them to
do busivess in this State upon
the condition that they shall not
remove suits to the Federal
courts.

The right of removal by a for-
eigh corporatioa or citizen from
the State to the Federal courts
suits originaliy begun ip
the State court, 18 a right based
upon a Federal statute, and is
recognized by the courts as a
privilege which cannot be denied
them dy State lepislation, We
believe the question has been de-
cided by the Supreme Court ot the
United States upon a writ of er-
ror from some of the Noth West-
ern States, where the legislature
passed an act allowing insurance
companies to do business in the
State upon the condition that
they should not avail tkemselves
of the privilege of removal of
¢.ses in which they were sued in
the State courts to the Federal
courts, the Supreme Court hold-
ing that such legislation was
against public policy and there--
fore void, that the States could
not impose upon citizens of other
States such conditions, nor deny
them the right ot. removal con.
ferred by Federal legislation.

The tevognized legal ability
of Governor Russell entitles his

consideration, but in view of the
importance of such legislation as
he ,.o nts out, it would be well
to 11 vestigate tho leguiliy as wll
as tuc jolicv uf fach a radical
