MINOR PUNISH MENTS.

One OF the most serious problems
with which we have had to deal
under the post beilum regime con-
cerns the methods Of repressing the
lesser crimes like larceny. and dis
orderly conduct. A certain class
has become SO habituated to
an occasional incarceration in Jail.
and the sense of shame has been su
entirely obIlterated by the degrad-
ing punishment they have incurred,
tue Jail has no terrors and exerts NO
deterrent influence.
The result is that this worthless
class is burden on the community,
swelling the criminal budget and
always perpetuating an evil ex-
amrle.
There is no sense in dealing
with this condition of things in a
spirit of sentimental tenderness.
Whenever man has become SO de-
graded that he has no moral sensi-
biIities, punishment has to be direct
ed 20 the point where he does have
feeling. When his sense of pride
and shume has become 80 .cailous
aud iudurnted by repeated humiha-
ton that = mora! iDhiction cannot
reach him, you have to apply pun
ishment to tue bodily nerves which
do feel it. For the repression OF
larcenies nothing has ever been
invented which is such a complete
aud perfect specific as the
whipping post, and in all the re6ue-
ments Of modern civilization no
expedient has ever been .ound to
supplant it.
But this remedy would require
the Intervention of the legislature.
and we ars inquiriug now for COR.
rective which can be immediatel,
applied.
This corrective consists in SEN
tences on the public works. Til.
law has made provision for this
mode of punishment for the minor
offences, ami wherever trie;i it has
worked well. It's ridiculous that
the honest working people Of
parish should have TO support the
criminal classes while they are sery-
Ing = term in jail. TGeir labor
while under sentence eau he en-
plnyed in useful works. and thus
the burden of criminal expenses
nay DO lightenei. 1t costs little
more to feed aud guard the prisoners
on public works shan in jni. Atten-
tion to these considerations wilt
eventually lift from the shout
,lers.of the people what has growE
to be an iLtoierable burjen.-Bat0n
