SYMPATHY FOR MUHDERERs.

The remarks of the Rev. DR.. Thomas. of
Chicago, at the funeral of the murdered child
wife, Mamie Stevens, were startling in their
significance as coming from an orthodox
clergyman in an orthodox Methodist church
on an occasion such as the funeral of muir
dered woman. He said:
According to the popular conception ard
teaching, there is but little or any hope in the
future for this murdered wife-cut off without
a moments warning or time for prepar alton for
death. But the hu band-the murderer-can
go to Jail, and after six weeks, die happy on
the gallows and go straight to heaven. There
is something wrong in this teaching. The
atonement is no such thing that murderer can
send his victim to hell forever, and he turn
around and walk into heaven. It is a sin
against good morals to teach such things. If a
man sins, he must suffer. have no faith in
saving men without characters; and this thing
OF sending criminals to heaven after n few
weeks Of almost forced repentance is hurting
the morals of the community; it is almost q
premium on crime.
These are plain, strong words, bravely
spoken-words that, however much thew
may clash with the accepted orthodox theo-
RES of salvation, are nevertheless words of
truth and reason most timely uttered. It is
high time that religion that teaches such
gross, fiend-like, unjust doctrines as the
eternal damnation of an erring soul. and
the transformation into seraphic beauty of
him who was the cause of her sins, was rele-
gated to the dark ages whence the loathsome
doctrine came and where it now belongs.
It is time there was an awakening in the
public mind on the subject of murder and
the punishment due to murderers. There
appears to be morbid sympathy for one
who takes a fellows life which
takes hold of the public and leads
almost to his standardization. This
is illustrated as we'll, perhaps, in Chicago as
in any other city. There are now eight
murderers confined in the jail in that CITY
awaiting trial. Their crimes we're all COM
mitted in cold blood. No palliation can be
uiged in any single case. No romance at
taches to their crimes. All were calculating.

ders. 1t would be natural to suppose that
these men would create only loathing, but

By special ukase, the Mennonites in Rus
STA are exempt from military duty up to the
year 1880. AS their religion forbids them
from engaging in war, it is quite probable
that there will be large emigration of the
sect from Russia during the next two years.
A large number of these people have here
tofore come to Minnesota, and now consti-
tute the most Industrious, frugal and law
abiding communities. They do not come
here empty handed, and by their industry
they add hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually to the material wealth of the State.
It would be we'll for our bureau of immigra-
ton to make a special effort to encourage
those who will soon fly from the Cars do
minions to make settlement on our fertile
farming lands, for we can get no better class
of citizens from the old world than these.

which they are confined is constantly crowd
ed with ladies from all walks of life who load
the foul criminals with fruits, flowers, cigars
and all manner of deGcacies, talk with them
gaily, commiserate their condition, and even
heap upon them tender caresses. These
women do not belong to the lower order of
society, but are, many of them, married to
respectable men, move in good society, and
would resent any imputation upon their
character as mortal offense. Yet they
daily resort to the Jail to load with luxuries
the vilest of criminals from whose touch they
would ordinarily shrink as from the touch of
plague. They make of the prison ban
quet hall, and burden the most hardened,
the most despicable of wretches with atten-
tions they deny to the worthy and deserving
poor.
Nor are the women alone blameworthy.

THE coURr HOUSE QUESTION.

Some years ago the county expended sew
eral hundred dollars in preparing plans for
new court house, and in sending a COM
mission to visit prominent Eastern cities to
inspect their public buildings. This COM
mission was composed of prominent citizens
and large tax payers, with DR.. Day, our pres
ent postmaster, as chairman. They reported
strongly in favor of new and expensive
court house, and the issue of bonds for it's
erection. The question was submitted to
the people, and by them promptly voted
down. All of this since the panic.
The condition of affairs to-day is about
the same now as then. Business is still
depressed, and the good time coming has
not come. Hence the project for new court
house at the present time does not meet with
favor by heavy tax payers, and is especially
opposed by those who always wish to have a
little speculation by the issue of bonds-the
present plan being to erect the building by
direct tax. We believe there might be
much more injudicious expenditure of the
public money than the erection of a
court house, and we believe the most
excited anti-court house individuals would be
struction company steal-for instance-at
stake. When it is built it should be on the
plan proposed by, direct taxation, but the
times are not propitious for any extra
taxation. Pirate Sherman has his resumr-
ton grip on the throat of the public, and
relief from that death struggle is
what is needed. Hence there should be
no step taken in this matter without
submitting the matter to vote of the peo-
pie. The matter was entrusted to the people
before. and it can safely be trusted in the
the same quarter again.
But we wish to say right here that we be-
heve the present movement is both honest
and honorable, and has been inaugurated
from the best of motives. The abuse of the
Pioneer Press and the threats of mob
bling the commissioners, are char
acteristic of that Infamous concern.
1t is because the scheme is honest
and honorable that that venal and corrupt
sheet opens its sluice- gates of filth. It was
never known to oppose steal or favor an
honest project. It's editor was one of the
commission who INDUCED in the purchase
of Como Park and the issue of bonds for
that stupendous investment. That
was all right because the Pioneer Press
gang of plunderers 'stood in'' for share of
the swag. The Commissioners which that
disreputable affair denounces as non-tax-
payers, are, in two instances, among orr
prominent business men, one of whom paws
from four to six hundred dollars of taxes
annually. But it is unnecessary to defend
them from the ISLANDERS of this plunderinp
organ. To be abused in that quarter is the
highest praise. It will have but one effect,
and that will be to convince people that the
proposed scheme is an honest one, and in
duce them to support it. A paper that com
bines the treachery of an Indian with the
meanness of Shylock and the dishonesty of
Jack Shepard may be dcspised, but it need
not be feared.

That's nothing new. He never makes a.

as the greatest effort of his life. If some

Davis, and we protest against
this treatment of him by the
press. But for good solid argument, candor
and sound common sense VIZ prefer the
arguments of Manager Kinds. Perhaps it
was not delivered with as much oratorical
display as Gov. Davis, but it reads better,
and proves that while Davis was searching
among the dusty volumes of classical itera-
ture, Kinds was storing his mind with the
literature of the law.
