Punishment of Ruhians.

The Pha Ielpha Bulletin speaks sensIbly when il
says:
As general thing there is too much lenity
shown to ruffians after they have fallen into the
hands of justice. Judges and juries see the
offenders when they are on thtir best behavior.
and when they assume to be meek and gentle,
they do not often see their victims until their
bruises are healed, and they do not appreciate
the horrors of a scene of outlawry which the
witnesses have not the skill or the disposition
tOpicture fully. What is too often believed to
be mere exuberance of animal spirits, is gen.
orally an evidence of depraved heart and a
savage disposition, and the rowdy is usually as
cowardly as he is vicious. There Is not par
ticle of chvalry about him. for he never indul.
ges violence in defence of the weak and the
wronged, nor does he measure his strength
with those who are his physical equals. He
joins dozen brutes like himself to maltreat
one weak man, and if he goes singly to work
he takes care to be armed with knife, revolver
or slung-shot, or with the murderous steel
knuckles. Severe punishment inflicted upon
such craven outlaws would have salutary
effect, and brutes, who have no generosity of
character to keep their savage propensities in
check. would be deferred by the wholesome fear
of the law.
