WHILE. we are looking on with some
degree Of wonder at the rapid polticA
changes taking place seemingly in oil sec-
tions Of the country, tho question naturally
arises, what will the colored vote Of the south

their long-tried devotion to the republican
party, and their late practical, almost total
exclusion from all political honors by thl
new administration, will they tamely pocket
the rebuff, and vote. "oarly and ofton," as of

No cure for Crime.


An idea, not exactly new, but now recelv-

that murders aud such crimes arc not the
fruit Of devilish disposition, OF revenge or of
hate. They are simply tho natural resu It's of
some abnormal condition of the brain. Tho u,-
due growth ofthe bone in tho region of tho
medulla obongs,a presses upon tho brain and
drives the innocent man TO innocen,ly seize
an AK and blamclessly chops his wifo's head
open. 1t Is her misfortune, not his
fault. Tho post norton cxaminst ton Of
tho brains of number of murderers show
In majority Of cases somo tumor, malforma.
ton or softening Of tho brain. The brains OF
sssassins are usually larger than
tho average. Suicides IN amoN
every case show soitening Of tho brain in
one or moro lobes. The radical believers In
this theory argue that this being the case
hanging 10 not the remedy for crime.
Muraerers arc TO DO pi.ied. not punished,
and placed under medical treatment, instead
Of hanged. AT least, while the theory

hold that q convicted murderer

However this may DO In places where hang.
