THE PENALTY FOR INTOXICA'
TON.

Every morning as we look over Ine
columns of the REGISTER we see In the
local department, among the reports OF
the Police Court, such items IS the iol-
lowing: "WM. BURNS, drunk, fined two
dollars and costs; committed" John
AUaER, drunk, fined five dollars and
costs; committed" and we propose to
discuss this system OF fines, not as to Its
effect upon the public treasury, but upon
the man who is its object. When an In
toxicated man is arrested, fined two dol
lars and costs-making in all some i've
dollars-in the majority Of cases he
cannot pay it and is hustled OH to the
Changing to work it out. After serV-
ing out his time he comes away feeling
sour and disgraced, and the first thing
he does is to beg, borrow or steal enough
money to get drunk on again, and is in
consequence once more upon the clty's
hands. This continues until the man be-
comes a human wreck shoat upon the
dark tide of misery and sin, with no ele-
waiting memory of the past or hope oil
light in the future. And now we ask,
Is there no remedy for this fearful
sacrifice OF human souls; no manner OF
making the inebriste man who can
again look his fellows in the face with
out the scorching blush of silence, that
eats out sll the marrow of self-respectf
We would suggest that fines should be
done away with. When an arrest Is
made for drunkenness, and it is clearly
proven that the culprit is deserving OF the
penalty which follows his breach OF law
and order, let him be sent to the workhouse
for q considerable period and be put to
work, not IN chsin-gain style, but so as
to benefit himself and the Institution in
which he is incsrcersted. Before
sending the offender there, how
ever, the character OF that establishment
should be changed SO that the inebristes
are placed by themselves, and are not
crowded together with other glasses OF
prisoners. Lessen the harsh treatment
of this class of persons, SO that they will
realize that their ofiense is more against
themselves than the community at large.
Where sentences sufficiently lengthy are
imposed upon them for reformstOry pur-
poses in the great cities, it is clearly
shown that fifty per cent are entirely
cured. Hold up to him some
hope of reward for good con-
duct and aid HIM in every attempt to
raise himself from the atmosphere of the
gutter and the jail. Teach him
that if he abstains from debsuchery,
he may become useful member
OF society, and that if he does not his
sentence for second ofiense will be
heavier one than before, and that the
sll-powerful hand of the law is not to be
trihed with; that it shields and protects
him when he behaves himself, but when
he ceases to do so it will close upon him
with relentless grip. Do not put
premium on convictions for drunkenness
by making the pay of the Off
GERS depend upon the costs
received from these cases. Such method
is all wrong. The object of the law is
TO prevent the commuHity from suf-
fering In any way from intoxicated men
and TO reform them. When the
last clause is carried out as faithfully as
the first all danger will pass away for
that which created it will not exist

emf Down 1he Arnrr-

The extra session of Congress. which
will probably meet in the beginning of
June, has to be called because the
means of paying the army must be pro,
vided The necessity for such an extra
session grows out Of the fact that in
the last Congress the House of Repre-
sentatives and the Senate we're not
able to agree upon the magnitude of
The army, aud upon the uses to be
made OF it.
Now, the FIRST duty of the represen
tatives Of the people in this extra ses
sion, is to insist upon reducing the
army to ten thousand men. This mum
Der is sufficient for every regular need
of the country. The public service
can be fully performed by an army of
this size, and not single soldier above
the number of ten thousand should be
allowed by Congress.
Next to the duty of reducing the
military force to ten thousand men
the Honse of Representatives should
insist upon attaching to the bill a pro-
vision that the army shall not be EN-
ployed for any political use. either in
the way Of watching over elections. or
for the purpose of supporting Claim
ants to office in any State.
Other questions will, doubtless. be
raised in this extra session. aud 10 set
thug them the House will have to deal
with matters of great importance; but
there can be nothing else of such no
ment to the people as reducing the
army to ten thousand men, and prohib
fling the President from making any
political or elcc,ioncering use of she
troops.

The Republicans rake Ipecac.

The Commercial at last gives up
the fight as far as Packard is con-
cerned but puts in a special plea for
Hayes. Hear it, says the Frankfort
Teonlda
"A well-informed correspondent at
New Orleans, says the Commissioners
have come 10 the conclusion that the title
Of the Packard government is not as good
as that of Hayes to the Louisiana vote.
Hayes was entitled to the vote of that
State by the operation of its laws, and,
giving plain and undisputed construction
to those laws, would have carried the
State by nearly thousand votes. The
Returning Board, however, anxious 10
secure Legislature that would elect
Kellogg to the Senate, subjected the law
10 strained construction, and in carrying
the Legislature, piled mp majority for
Packard on doubtful foundations
Now let Hayes perfect the noble
plan of new era, and call Mr.. Tilden
to his place as President.

that he was elected. That is why

than President Hayes in Louisiana; IL
