TIMELY AND HUMANE LEGISLA.
TION.

The law applying to convicts, as
amended by the late session of the
Legislature, is now q reasonable and
practical measure, just to the convict,
sufficiently stringent to satisfy justice,
and q general Improvement on the orig
inal law, which was a disgrace to the stat
ute book. Long before the extra session
convened the EXAMINER was convinced
OF the enormity of the county convict
system and the abuses prscticed under
il. We felt sure that the lawmaking
power, after giving the subject intelli-
gent and impartial consideration, could
not fail to cure the defects and enact a
law at once practical aud equitable in
its operations. Several papers, laboring
under radical misapprehension
of the EXAMINERS views and
efforts, saw fit to criticize
our position sharply, if not, in some in
stances unjustIy. This, however, is over
now and we have the satisfaction Of as
complete vindic8tion as is desirable. The
Governor recognized the defects in the
system and in his message suggested
Legislative action. The Legislature went
to work faithfully and intelligently to
find the defects and remedy them,
and the result is the amend
ed law. AS it now stands
he hiring OF county convicts is confined
to the county in which the person is
convicted The first money earned is to
apply to the payment of costs. The
prisoner is entitled to release whenever
the fine and costs are paid. His term
shall be one day for each fifty cents of
fine and costs. The county is not re-
sponsible for costs. The term cannot
be longer than two years. There will be
no more selling of indiscreet men or
petty offenders into years OF cruel ser
vitude The EXAMINER, for its part, is
thoroughly content with what has been
done and takes pleasure in commend
ing the wise and humane action of the
legislature.

Senator Saunders, of Nebraska, intro
duced a bill the other day for the elec-
ton by the people of postmasters, mar
shals and all internal revenue officers.
In his remarkable speech on his remark
able proposition, he mildly made the
following demand: Can the President
appoint better men than the people can
elect? And if SO, why?" This unanswer-
able query will be the last ever heard OF
the Saunders plan for stripping the
President Of his power to re-elect HIM
self.

Joseph COpDin Constructs His
COfii IA After Advanced Ideas.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Mr.. Joseph Coppin, an old pioneer of
this vicinity, who has resid d in this
city for number of years, has placed
for safe keeping at the undertaking es-
tablishment of Pye & Erschell, Newport,
a burial case which he terms the "Great
American Coffin" designed and built by
himself, and intended as receptacle
for his body after death. 1t is inclosed
IN a heavy pine box which has been
stained q Jet black. The case is made
OF heavy American pine boards of an
inch thickness and is SO constructed as
to have heavy base, eight panels, one
at each end, and three on either side,
and heavy top ledge, all of which are
appropriately painted, the base being
red and the panels white, and the top
ledge blue.
The lid of this curiously constructed
case is entirely covered with the stars
and stripes. Near the head of it is
placed daguerreotype of the intended
occupant, covered with miniature
American flag, which has to be lifted
when a view of the picture is desired.
1t is evidently the old gentleman's wish
that his lace and form shall not be ex-
posed to view when once his body is
placed in the case, but that his friends
and relatives content themselves with a
view of this counterfeit presentment.
He has had placed in his future resting
place, at the bottom and sides, the shaw
ings from the boards of which it is made,
well covered with cotton batting With
him will be buried the second teeth that
he has from time to time had to drop
from his mouth, which he has carefully
saved, and also a lock of hair of his first
sweetheart. Mr.. Coppin is now 95 years
of age, and from his appearance one
would Judge that it will be some years
before the product of his handIwork
will be called into requisition.

Backache quicker with one of Carriers
Smart Weed and Belladonna Bachache
Plasters, than by any other application,
and after the backache is cured. you can
wear the plaster without any discomfort
for two or three weeks or longer. This
combination of Smart Weed and Bella
donna is a great hit, and it is hard to find
any pain or ache that will not yield to it.

Should the Russian revolutionists
succeed in tearing the autocrat of the
Empire from the throne, that great ma

Great, viii pass away. Revolutionists,
such rs Russia must produce, could
never control its vast territory and pop

into petty states for a time, and until
some one Of them grew strong enough
to gather back the land of its weaker
