the drummer boy to beat retreat.

EdIlors IntellSeneer;
Will you please publish the enclosed
article, entitled aThe Lesson Of q Life
Clipped from the editorial columns Of the
Wellington pod, not because it origin
ated with the editor Of that journal, but
because II breathes the spirit OF true
Christian charity. We especially com
mend II 10 the thoughtful consideration
OF the Hon. Ross Alexander aud his col.
leage in the State Senate, Hon. David
Wagner. By complying with the above re.
quest you will greatly obligea
LADY READER.
The article referred to above is a long
editorial too long for us to reproduce
reprobating the action of the Ohio Senate
in expellipg one of its members named
o,Connor, who turned out to be an eI-
convict, having once been in the pen
itentiary. The writer Of 1t sadly descants
upon the treatment accorded to o'COnnor
after the discovery Of his antecedents, and
says that II reformed conyicts are to be
thus treated It willdiscourage them from
efforts TO rise in the world.
There is 3 great deal Of sentiment in
the article, and also a great deal Of soph.
istry. A man who has been in the peni.
Tertiary has no business to offer himself
for public position. His proper sphere
of enterprise Is not in that direction, and
the fact that a man cannot commit crime
and then offer himself for public position
Is a wholesome circumstance. The right
sort Of a man would not offer himself for
Office, knowing that he has forfeited the
confidence Of his fellow men, but would
be content to do what good he could for
himself and society in a sphere outside Of
the criticism that naturally and rightfully
belongs to public life.
1t seems that o'Connor had removed
from the scenes Of his conviction and
sentences and had so far ingratiated
himself into public favor as TO be sent to
the Ohio Senate, where his "sin found
him out" and from whence he was re-
moved by a vote OF his fellow-menbers.
This may seem a hardship, and so 1t
might be in some individual case, but 1t
is in accordance with a most salutary
public sentiment. We're such men al
lowed to get into public life the fact
would utterly demoralize society in a
shorttime, and since the influences that
now restrain men from crime are o n
too strong we should not by any means
weaken them.
