without regard to political bias, look upon
such an extraordinary and unprecedented
liberty as dangerous in the extreme. A law
despised and set at naught, it matters not by
whom, is no law at all. If certain men were
exempted from obeying one law why not
exempt others from the restrictions of some
other statute?
1t is highly creditable to President Young
that he has the courage OF his convictions
and gratifying that he is realizing his antici-
pations. The outcome of such a policy
ought to be reasonably certain. The respect

ploye from one end of the road to the other

more keenly than confinement in the COM
mon Jail; and term of incarceration would
be gladly exchanged for the lost social stand
ing, if such thing were possible. Even when
the culprit in high life escapes the punish
ment fixed by the law he has broken, he does
so by struggle that involves his own for
tune and that of his friends, besides, in many
cases, dragging them with him through the
slums of SANDER and the purlieus of crime
and corruption incident to such trials. I'm
der these circumstances an acquittal is pretty
thoroughly stripped of its virtue Public
sentiment has impressed the stigma of guilt,
and life is not long enough for the delinquent
to wear it off.
There is another species of punishment
that falls, almost without exception, upon
the higher classes, and that is the exposure
by official investigation. This, too, is fol-
lowed by all the humiliation of the loss of
social position, and may be supplemented
attached to the mere investigation that is al
most fatal, although the facts developed do
not warrant a conviction. There are a num-
Der of instances where unsupported suspicion
even has driven men from high places into
obscurity. While this is not right, it is a
fact nevertheless. In such affairs the
guilty should not. escape; neither should
the innocent be punished Herein the poor
man is barred generally from these high
places by the conditions of his life, and at
the same time shielded from their tempta-
tions and dangers. Another feature in favor
of the poor man is that his acquittal in Grim
inal prosecutions is generally accepted as a
vindication also; but as already cited, the
rule does not hold good with prosecutions
followed by acquittals of those higher up in
the scale of wealth and official position.
When bewailing the deprivation of the
emoluments of these places, people ought to
mingle their walls with the reflection of
freedom from the pains and penalties Incl
dent thereto and place the situation under
the head of a just compensation in nature,
wherein the loss of benefit is fully made
up in the escape of dangers The great ma
iority of the people of this country are found
in the common walks of life, and to say that
they are made the victims of an unjust dis
elimination in the administration of Grim
inal procedure is hardly tenable. In civil
affairs there is some just grounds for the
charge, especially where corporate wealth
and private persons join issue, and this is
true because public sentiment is not so sensi-
tive to the poor mans property as it is for
his Ehartv

but slowly she is transformed into the house
keeper, until, as time passes, nothingis expected
OF her but devotion to her sewing machine, her
picking and preserving, or the construction of
some new dish to tickle her husbands palate
For few years she made annual visit to

GA woman ought to look out for herself To
be sure she ought, but many one loses heart if
she is not looked out for and perhaps does not
realize her needs. Insane asylums, they say,
have among their inmates large proportion of
women, farmers wives, who were driven to
madness from the monotony of their lives
Farmers wives are not alone. Women live in
cities who have become so apathetio from the
weary treadmill of three meals day, washing
baking, sewing and sweeping, year in and out,
that they go out of their own door yards only to
do the marketing. 1t is matter of course, now;
they look for nothing different, and no one else
expects anything else from them, but that way
madness lies. A mans business may be tire
some and monotonous, but he can break away
from it or vary it as his wife cannot do. He is
not solitary as she often is and his thoughts do
not dwell ceaselessly upon the same eternal rou-

after all.

A STRANGE and altogether unique celebration
took place on the Brooklyn bridge on the Fourth.
BY precOncerled action the Brooklyn Laborers'
Party and a similar organization from the New
York side, undertook to dedicate" the structure
on tine nations birthday, to atone for the insult
of opening it TO traffic on the Queeu's natal day.
At IL o'clock the Brooklyn party was on hand,
300 strong. and only awaited the crowd from
New York to inaugurate the concern. After
waiting two hours, 1t was found that one lone,
lorn painter had assembled himself at the New
York end. Waiting no longer, he finally fell into
line, and began marching forward amidst tho
plaudts of his confreres from the City of
Churches, who carried a banner upon which was
inscribed, 1--WE open the bridge to-day, The
funkeys opened it on victoria's day. 1t is
thought now that the business of tlss bridge will

JUSTICE FOR THE RICH AND THE POOR.

The complaint so persistently made that
the poor man is always caught and punished
for his misdeeds, while the rich frequently
escapes loses much of its force when care
fully examined. The apparent truth of the
complaint springs chiefly from the fact that
a greater number of poor men are punished
than rich ones But when the relative
numbers of the two classes are considered
the Inconsistency shrinks in its proportions
Aside from the regular vagabond and crimi-
nal classes of large cities, the rule is actually
reversed. Barring the natural tendencies to
crime inherited or instilled by vicious train
ing, men become criminals from contact
with temptation, and observation shows the
rich to be more exposed in this respect than
the poor. The most direct road to public
office lies through the avenues OF wealth,
and here the allurements to wrong-doing to
many natures are simply irresistible. Hence
the daily announcements of fraud, thefts
and embellishments in high places But are
the delinquents punished? AS rule they
are, though, as is the case with other classes,
some guilty ones escape. But when convic-
ton is made it comes with crushing force
The subsection to fine and Imprisonment is
not so grievous as the forfeiture of good
name and leadership in affairs. The
latter cuts the quick of human pride
