II has for some time been umorcd that great
suffering was feared among the population of
the coast of Labrador this fall and winter and
now it is positively asserted that three thousand
persons are already starving there, and that APP
plications for aid for them have been or will be
made to the Dominion Government The
people of whom this bad news is told are among
the hardest and most enduring on the globe
Inhabitants of a bleak and inhOspitable and
stormbeaten coast they are for the most part
dependent upon fishing, which, however, can
only be followed four months in the year, and Il
failure in which means sharp suffering If not
actual starvation. 1t is said that this past sum-
mer there was 50 much lee on the Labrador
fishing grounds that the fishermen could take
nothing. and the ice did not 90 away until Just
before the close of the season, thus rendering
average catches impossible. The poor people
who depend upon this prccariOuS industry have
very little other resource. They raise scarcely
anything. They obtain the neCeSSarlcS OF lie
tor the most part from the stores through SyS-
TEN of barter. in which the storckccpcfs are SAID
always to get the best end Of the bargain.
When the weather is open and the sea clear OF
ice during the short summer season they can
generally catch enough fish to carry them
through the winter with care, but this year they
are brought face to face with winter while their
magazines are empty, and the question is what
can they do or what can be done for them
Pcrhap, the wI>c,t thing they could do would
DE 10 abandon the miserable country where they
cannot by any industry get IA decent livns, and
20 somewhere in the West. where tithe OF
their toll and endurance would soon lit them
ont of pcuuy. But it Is observable that men
generally love their country the more deeply
when ii j. inccmcnt cold and forbiddiug and
il l. possible that these poor hall-Starvcd Lab
rador fishermen would decline TO migrate save
under compul,iou. They will, however, be
forced TO choose between that and death this
year. for it j. certain h1t they cannot ~ubSlst
thcm,cvc, during the winter without help, and
if the Dominion Government undertakes TO
nclp them it u.'l .uully seek to protect itself
a-lil-t tuo d.n--ro - recurrence oI such dis
,.t.r. Th.f.c.. 3D.. little doubt that the Lab
la,lor fishermen. couid be very much more
uiofta5y cuI.oved than they are. and il can

II has long been matter ol adverse comment
that in the administration of Justice there Is Of
Ten 80 strange a want of proportion between
offences and puni-hmcnts that while in the
ease Of petty offences the penalties are usually
severe, many Of the most iar-rcaching crimes
20 unpublished or inadequately punished.
These anomalies are common to all systems oi
iurisprudcncc: and though civilization advance )
rapidly in other respects, there seems to
be little or no movement toward more
equitable adjustment in this particular. In
England, however, there has long been
noted an extraordinary disproportlon be-
tween the penalties for crimes against property
and those against the person; and to bring the
matter before the public Mr.. Maclarlanc a
Member of Parliament, has published pam
phlei in which he gives over eight hundred
cases. showing the absurd injustice OF the exist
me- system In all these cases, which were
taken from the official records OF single
month"; it is apparent that crimes of violence are
treated with astonishing leniency. Thus, for
instance an assault with intent to rob Is pun
iShed severely, while far worse assault with
ont robbery involves often only light fine.
Assaults upon women, and especially wives,
are never severely punished. A ruilian who had
been committed eighteen times for wife beat
ing got only three months. \ poor wretch,
whose only offence was sleeping in an clubhouse
because he could not pay for bed, was SEN
fenced TO fourteen days hard labor.
Two roughs wautouy assaulted two peace
able citizens on the street. knocking them down,
kicking them, and iuhictins serious injuries.
The sentence was a fine of ten -hillings each,
or seven days i'm jail GA the same day man

teen conviction, get, the same sentence as the
man who had stolen a pair of shoes. Aud all
through the long list the same gross and
ha2runt inequality rams. making 10 evident that
the laws of ENGLAND, however sound they may
bc I'm other respects, need sweeping revision and
amendment before IL can bc said with truth thar
they provide for the administration OF any
thing like even handed Justice.

Nh Horace l.. DcuiuV. who lately associated
himself with the political firm of William H.
Blruum y Co.. dealer, on mules and Morcy tors-
erc-. has been telling Thc Nor-l0rt Times how it
happcnod Chat Ice and hs friends were laid out at
the last meeting of the Brooklyn YOUNG Republican

comes 10 scc these expressions in cold type that he
might far better have held his peace. 1t seems
that two week, ago" the anti-Blano mem
hers of the club had the painful conviction
forced upon them that they were hopcleSsly beaten
and that their Blaine brethren would celebrate
their victory AT the great test meeting with noises
and shontings No wonder they grew angry! To
he beaten was bad enough; but to realize two
weeks in advance that their opponents would cele-
brate with noises and shoutlngs,' instead of with
gentecl silence and sobs, was too much for human
endurance. No wonder 50 many of them stayed
away from the meeting"
Aud then, to add crimson insult to narrowing
injury. tho Blaine men were there carly That
was mean Of the Blaine men-as mean as 1t was
characteristic. And not content with being
carly. thoy actually had the high-handed ef-
frontcry to pack themselves IS olidiy IN the body
of the house" II is but natural that Mr.. Deming'
blood .bould run cold a. Clcycand's prospects and
that ne should trembc for the future OF the Brook
Iyn Young Republican Club as he reflects upon
tbc.e atrocities. The Blaine Republicans stand
conVict.d ON his tr.tlmOny-which We understand,
pocs uncon .1adctcd--o gong early to the meet
ing of sitting together at the meeting and picking

The public iscyidcully much moro concerned
about the inadequate facilities for trnsporta

selves. At the very curious meeting ol tue
board held Yesterday, the general deposition OF
the trustees was to let things remain pr'''S''N

diScnuragiug way in which every new plan pro-
posed is received, The Impression is growing
that the Bridge will not be- of great use to the
public until the present trustees are onSlcd ny
the Legislature and new and different con'r"l
put in. Proceedings like those at this last meet
ing strengthen this Impression.
There was no diminutIOn in the enthusiasm
with which Mr., Blaine was everywhere received
as he iouncycdWcs yesterday through TINS
State No public man was ever more cordlalY
greeted by throngs of his fclOw-ctizenS than
he has been at all the stopping places, large ANA
small, between Ncw-IOrk and Buffalo. Inc
characteristics of the crowds around the ran
way stations were the same yesterday as on
Wednesday. Republicans of all shades OF
opinion turned out to testify that such things as
factional lines no longer exist in the party.
Then, too, there was the addition of hundreds
of workmen, who recognize in Mr.. Blaine the
most prominent champion Of the protection OF
American industry and citizenship. Naturally
Mr.. Blaine is pleased with his reception. 1t
shows that the people recognize the worth Oh
this man. who is to act as their Chief Magistrate
during the next four years, and that they have
implicit confidence in him.
