The

I rue Purpose of

Imprisoning Criminals By EU-ENE SMITH. Famous Criminologist T ia not easy to sec how punishment ever came to be regarded as an EXPIxTIOX for crime. The expiatory nature of

suffering depends on its VOLUNTARINESS. Yet this ab-

surb idea ia the only ground on which a dangerous criminal now discharged after a CERTAIN TERM of imprisonment.

Public protection 13 the only motive which justifies the state depriving a criminal of hi3 liberty, revenge being wholly alien to it3 majesty. But imprisonment that is not reformatory insures protection ONLY WHILE IT LASTS. Therefore we can protect ourselves from the criminal only by life imprisonment or by reformation, and reformation soem3 to be more humane, besides being les3 expensive. And reformation presupposes THE INDETERMINATE SENTENCE. The criminal mu?t be treated UNTIL CURED. The question of his guilt is wholly immaterial, and attempts to make the punishment fit the crime are an absurdity. Only OMNISCIENCE can measure pruilt. Under the oh! criminal svstem the state figured as an avenging fury pursuing the criminal. UNDER THE NEW IT IS A BENEFICENT POWER STRIVING TO AID HIM, AND NO CRUfcLER WRONG CAN CE DONE TO HIM THAN TO SET HIM FREE WHEN HE IS INCAPABLE OF SELF CONTROL.

This programme will include the formation of a central electoral council charged with ost of the duties of the social government board and other Dublin castle hoards, the establishment of an exchequer into which all moneys now allotted to Irish account shall henceforth be paid, and the clreation of a tribunal to deal with private bills. Editorially the journ.il says: "All this will fall far short of an Irish parliament; but why reject such an offer simply because the Boers have obtained full legislative rights?''

PEASANTS AKV THKKATENINO

They Ask the IJelease of a Deputy Who Aided a Mutiny, St. Petersburg, Aug. 23. On account of the threatening spirit exhibited by the constituents of Onipko, a peasant member of the late parliament who was arrested after the Croustad mutiny charged with in-dting armed revolt, an offense the penalty of which is death, rnd because of the fear of outbursts in the province of Stavropol should he be condemned by the forthcoming court martial, the city and district of Stavropol and two other districts of the province, with the entire approval of the cabinet, have been declared to be in a state of "extraordinary security," and the rest of the province in a state of "reinforced security." The necessary powers are conferred upon the governor cf Stavropol to deal with disorder. The following is tLe text of a mammoth petition for the release of Onipko which has been received by Premier Stolypin: "We, the undersigned, electors of the province of Stavropol, are sorely aggrieved to hear that our representative, Onipko. has been arrested and turned over to a court martial. We sent him to parliament with instructions to acquire for all laborers land and for the whole of the people liberty. Now that parliament is closed and the people have received nothing we arp awaiting for our deputy Onipko to give us an account of the work of parliamentand his part therein. Therefore, we ask the emperor through you

to release Onipko."

receive the negro troops "on terms of social equality," in which he reviews the incident and concludes: "While not so designed its effect it to put hellish lust in the minds of the millions of negro brutes who are no more comparable to the intelligent negro you have met than the best of the race today is comparable to the savages of Africa. The Way He Views It. "These negroes of whom I speak, and v.-horn you do not know, constitute the vast majority of the 9,000,000 living in our back yards, and they fire absolutely incapable of reason. Social equality to their minds means the unspeakable crime. For every aspirin-' and decent negro who sees the

Rut you are not infallible and tou cannot perform miracles." Brownsville Not Happy Yet. Dallas, Tex., Aug. 23. United States Senator Culberson has sent a telegram to Ceneral Ainsworth, at Washington, to wli'.ch up to this time no reply has been received. The wire deprecates the government's intention to abandon Fort P.rown, and then it says: "It is due of the United States to protect the frontier, and as Texas borders on Mexico it. has always been doomed advisable to police the frontier with regular troops, including a station at Fort Rrown. While conditions on the border have Improved very

much within recent years this course

is still advisable, and it would be re

grettable that this fort should be abandoned because the people of a border

city like Brownsville object to negro troops under circumstances of raid and murder such as recently occurred there."

wili be reported to the state department and probably will constitute the

ments.

"Why Larks Are Ka.lly Caught. No bird is so easily netted as the

lark; he generally starts from the

ground just before the lower edge of

the net touches him and invariably mounts perpendicularly. This characteristic propensity to ascend at once may be observed by any person who

"treads up" a lark in a field and satis

factorily illustrated by releasing, at the

same moment, a newly captured lark and a sparrow from a cage or hat within the precincts of a room. While the sparrow will fly off horizontally.

dash himself against the window and

lie almost stunned from the shock, the lark will almost always mount upward to the ceiling and flutter there for a time in vain efforts to reach the sky before he attempts any other mode of exit; but this habit is fatal to him In the netting season. He would generally be able to escape, as indeed the bunting or clod bird, the sparrow and the linnet constantly do, by flying straight forward; but ascending, as he does, directly from the ground the moment his wings have touched the upper part of tbe net it is suffered to drop suddenly, and his capture is rendered inevitable.

An Incident ot Life In Sew York.

The street beggar with pockets lined with money is a fairly familiar figure

of city life, but one of the free dis

pensaries reports an instance or an attempt to get free medicine on the plea of poverty that deserves a place ia the catalogue of good stories of

graft. A middle aged woman ap

peared the other day and got a prescription, after which she took her place in the line of persons waiting to have their medicine made up by the apothecary. This particular woman,

it should be said, had given satisfac

tory answers to all the questions put

to her designed to show whether she

was a proper subject for charity. Sua

ienly there was a cry: "I'm robbed! I'm robbed!" The victim was this woman, who so far forgot her previous professions as to assert that her pocket had been picked and that the thief had got away with $90. Then she lost the opportunity to get free medicine, thus adding, in her riew.
