The winthrop Jerseys.

Maine is distinctly q Jersey State. p" for
aside from the large number Of Jerseys
registered in the A. j. c. c. register, we
have large number, about fifteen hun
dred that are entered in the herd book of
the Maine State Jersey Cattle Association,
the third volume of which has Just ap-
peared. Though about fly Of the towns
in the State contain breeders whose stock
is here entered. by far the larger number
are owned in Winthrop and vicinity, and
this fact, together with the fact of the
business office of the association being
locsted at that place. has given them the
name bv which they are more widely
known than other, of the winthrop Jer.
seys." There are some very fine herds
of them, that in quality will rank with any
in the country. among others We might
name those OF Hon. Rufus Prince, South

this force, Capt. Ericsson hopes to be able
to drag along a train Of cars as easily a. one
may take photograph.
The saving Of labor and expensive meterial
which will result from this invention is selt-
evident; but the comfort which it will bring
to city dominated by the elevated railroads
is also worthy of consideration. Capt.
Ericsson looks further than this He be-
lieves that with the solar engine in operation,
railroads may be proftably built across the
Desert Of Sahara and all other waste places
Of the earth. The tracks have simply to be
laid down and the sun and John Ericsson
will do the rest. 1t is an almost miraculous
project; but. after seeing what Capt. Err
lesson has already accomplished, nobody can
hesitate to believe that it is practicable.
Long may the sunshine, which he thus pro-
poses to utilize. bless and brighten the happy
days Of the veteran inventor.

THE DEFEAT OF WISDOM.

Iuasmuch as the whisky ring was unani.

Mr.. Window as United States Senator
from Minnesota, it may be assumed that

was triumph for the spectators. This
may be concluded without any special re-.
Election upon Mr.. Sabin. The country knows
so little concerning him that it is not lust

positiveness. 1t is certain, however, that
he owes his election to Democratic votes.
and equally certain that the interest of the
ring in Congress resides in the success of
the Democracy and of few friendly Re-
publicans. The result in Minnesota, we
very much fear, is in the line of victory
which we prophesied for the distillers and
bonded whisky Spectators.

ter laws.

We pointed out week ago serious OBJ
iections to one clause of bill providing
for the maintenance of a Changing in
every county in this State. The author of
the bill admitted the correctness OF the
criticism. We now enter a protest against
the whole bill. It wrong in it's inception,
as is any scheme to make men abandoned.
Refnements of definition will not change
the principle. Called by any name what
ever, the system that exposes to public
view the shame of criminals will
fasten the stigmas upon them forever.
That which exposes men in the tull
knowledge of their fellows and forces from
them an acknowledgment that they belong
to the criminal class, tends to make
them abandon themselves, and when that
results for such there is no hope, and
against such society cannot be defended
save by the unending imprisonment of the
criminals. All the interests of society are
with those systems than look to the reform
of the criminal, and the checking of the
tyro in crime at the outset of his career,
and against those systems that work oppo-
site results. It is because of the unde-
niable truth of these principles that in
some systems the prisoner is known only
by number; his fsllow-convict never
hears his name pronounced in prison, and
is thus deprived of the means of persecu-
ton when both are again at large. On
the same line proceeds the system
which eompels convicts to wear masks
when out of their cells ; that makes
the prison register sealed book, and that
prohibits the visiting OF prisoners by large
numbers of persons. The best thing that
can be done for the criminal class. as well
as for society, is to cut off its members,
when in prison, from all the world.
But this must not be misunder-
stood as advocacy of solitary oonfne'
ment. Where number of prisoners
are confined together the knowledge each
acquires of the other is used to force them
into criminal leagues, from most of which
they can never escape The chain-gang
does more than this, it forces the man, BY
public exposure, to abandon himself, for
every criminal holds to the idea that he is
not confirmed felon-that there is hope
and future for him. When he abandons
that idea, he becomes a force to make
criminals. He who has given over him.
self and has lost wholly his own self
respect has reached that stage when he is
led to approach another of his class, or one
not yet of his class, to draw him into or
ganization against deceRcy, order and law.
To the prisoner as yet on the verge of Grim
inal life this is seldom possible. 1t is suf-
fcient, to conclude the argument, by point
ing out that the opinions of the biologists
of eminence, and of all countries where the
non-exposure system prevails, are pro.
nounced against the public exposure sys-
tenn, of which the chain gang is the worst
example

THE SIGNAL SERVICE CORPS.

The proposal to transfer the Signal Ser.
vice branch of the army to the Interior
Department meets with but little approval
Nor should it have more, for the reasons
advanced in support of the proposition are
not sound. The meteorological work of
the Signal Corps is best accomplished
under the severe disciplinary system of the
army. To transfer it to civil department
would not be step forward in civil service
reform. 1t would displace enlisted men
for greedy seekers after places. It would
make the service party machine, and ere
long full of crooked ways and devious
doings. Civilians can do the work no bet.
ter than soldiers their tenure of Office
would be less certain, and their labors con-
sequently less efficient. 1t would not
obviate the necessity for an Army Signal
Corps, as that body in any event must
maintain that service. 1t is not, therefore.
in the line of economy. Il is to be hoped
that we shall hear no more of the plan
to inaugurate new scheme, to satisfy the
greed of partisan plsce-hunters.

the devotees of whist upon this exaltation
of their favorite game. First.class whist

Spencer ON AMERICAN LIFE.


Herbert Spencer has made an addendun
to his remarks at the New York banquet
on social forces in American life, but it has
not been so widely published as was the
original text. Americans can draw con-
ISOLATION from it. He does not over color
the picture of the intensified system under
which we exist. Ia Europe the industrial
and producing classes find the possibilities
for rising go narrow that they entertain
little thought of lettering themselves, and
become content with their lot. But in
America life is race, free for all the one
dread is of being cleft" The struggle for
wealth, honor and applause engages all the
competition spreads downward and is man.
ifest in all classes. The curious reader,
DESTROYS of ascertaining the views OF the
eminent sociologist as to the result of our
vapid and contentious system, is pleased to
tind him prophesying more of good than
Ill for the outcome of this intensified
life of "great labor, great profs and
great expenditure, and its concomitant
wear and tear, which considerably dimin-
ishes in one direction the good gained in
another" He holds that SIS long as we
fairly maintain order the free scope we
enjoy in the struggle for profit and honor
will conduce greatly to the material ad.
vancement of society, develop the indus
trial arts, extend and improve business
organizations, and augment wealth but it
does not follow, he adds, that it raises the
value of individual life, as measured by
the average state of its feelings "but
that it will do so eventually is certain. y
When we reflect upon the somber prophe-
cies that have been pronounced for our
future, we read with pleasure that Spencer
holds US at higher estimate that it is
true here, as elsewhere, that the life OF
society so sways the wills of its members
as to turn them 20 its ends. Social forces
impel men to achieve social ends while ap-
parently achieving but their own. In spite
of themselves nature leads men by purely
personal motives to fulfill her lofty ends.
Ambition prompts excess of work, and the
esgerness for the honor accorded to sue.
cess is indispensable as means to peopling
the earth with the higher types of man,
and the subjugation of its surface and its
forces to human use. When the sphere for
achievement becomes smaller the desire
for applause will lose the predominance it
now has. "When there is fully recog.
nized the truth that moral beauty is higher
than intellectual power-when the wish to
be admired is in large measure replaced by
the wish to be loved-that strife for dis.
tinction which the present phase of civil.
ization shows us will be greatly moderated.
Along with other benefits may then come a
rational proportioning of work and relaxa.
ton; and the relative claims Of to-day and
tomorrow may be properly balanced"
