II has been for some time 4 matter of
curious inquiry why the fire bell rings at Q
r. NJ Originally it was intended to warn
youths to go home, but that has long since
ceased to be OF any effect. These juveniles,
however, are now entitled to the credit of
giving substantial reason for the continu-
ance Of the custom; they insist that it is
to enforce a new order that Sacramento
policemen are to go in, out of harms
way" when the curfew rings In view of
the rue manner in which some of the
innocents of the force have lately been
taken in and done for, the new order de
serves approval.

THE spread Of the cholera in Spain has
become fearful to contemplate. 1t is kill
ing its tens of thousands Its virulence is
Of q character not heretofore known. 1t
has there been demonstrated that clothing
OF cholera patients, packed away for SIX
years, on being unpacked disseminated the
germs Of disease. We are told by good
medical authority that so certainly is it
established that the disease is communica-
bic by goods and food, that it will be dan
gerous to use this years crop of Valencia
oranges or Malaga raisins. In view of the
fact that the cholera has been lost control
of in Spain by the medical faculty and the
authorities, precautionary measures in this
country should be doubled, and every pos
sible step taken to prevent the incoming of
the pest.

THE CRUELTY OF SOCIETY.

in another column correspondent, with
degree of pardonable warmth, protests
against the civilization that puts a stigma
upon the man who ventures to employ
either discharged convict or an Indian.
The comments of the correspondent are
very severe, but it remains that though
such structures have been INDUCED in 10 !.
these ages, yet society refuses to step up
to that higher plane upon which the posi-
BILE reformation of the criminal may be
| worked. 1t certainly does not, as it should,
extend the helping hand; it certainly does,
as it should not, use its influence to drive
the discharged convict back to the devices
that first sent him to prison cell. We
discharge him from San Quentin or Folsom
| with a suit of clothing and 50 80 in the
| pocket-just enough to land him in San
Francisco in the one case and Sacramento
in the other, where the police Immediately
"spot" him and put him under surveil-
lance If he is 50, fortunate as to secure
employment, it is not long until the fact
of the stigma attaching to him is revealed,
| and his employers discharge him with the
! same haste that they would employ to free
themselves from the contamination of the
leper. In the great majority Of cases,
where he has not friends to stand by him,
the eX-convict, however thorough his
reformation, however much punishment
may have done for him, however sincerely
he longs for a life OF purity, is driven by
the reversed palm Of society to crimi-
nal acts. In fact-we may just as
well confess it-society, when it
puts its brand upon the State
prison convict cruelty makes it inefiace-
able. There is no washing out Of the foul
| blot; no expiation can Danish it; no re-
pentance can obliterate it. Society never
| forgives the convict, though it may pardon
| the criminal. Whatever OF reproach there
| is in this state of facts, it remains that they
are facts, and as such are building up a
| distinctive criminal class, branded and set
aside for all time. This class in retaliation
makes our prisons schools of crime, where
| the methods Of most adroitly proving upon
society are thoroughly taught. The Prison
| Reform Associations have made some eff
forts to remove this social evil, and prison
ers' aid societies have accomplished some
measure of good; but all these agencies
| count but as drops in the bucket as yet.
So far as the employment Of the
| California Indian is concerned, he
has in but very few cases shown
himself competent to earn the wages
Of a white man. Naturally indolent, OBJ
jectionable in his personal habits, and dis
| inclined to work, he has never been Il
material competitor with white labor. But
where he IS competent we can conceive OF
no reason why he should not he employed,
or why any man should fear to employ
him, except for the fear of political antag-
onism on the part of the laboring classes
| that stand hard in the way, and threaten
with the power Of the ballot every man
who has political aspirations and fears to
place them at the mercy of the voters
upon such an issue as the employment, for
instance, Of an ex-convict

Alaericaa, a Democratic paper, comes out
in a long article, giving all the details.
Peter II. Watson. Assistant Secretary of
War under Lincoln, declares that he heard
the details and the bargain made recently
by Senator Mcpherson, by which Sewell,
Republican, was to succeed Randolph,
Democrat, in the Senate, in the interest of
the Pennsylvania and Southern Pacific
Railways. Though the story has been
often told, to-day the plain developments
will unquestionably create excitement in

Hanged for Numbering His Brother.

Kane was executed was committed on the

younger brother of the prisoner, was sho
in the breast. He refused to say who sho
him. While there was no doubt as to the
guilt of James, the cause OF the shooting
was not brought out at the trial, but it is

relied over Amanda Cross, the murderer
mistress. Both were drunk, and being des
perate men, murder followed.

There is bill in the Legislature that
proposes a new road law. 1t provides for a
uniform public road system throughout the
state with state engineer or supervisor of
roads, and county superintendent and a
board of road overseers in each township.
1t provides '.that the S tate shall appropriate
one million of dollars, to be apportioned
among the several districts, as the State
appropriation to public schools is now ap-
portioned-provided each district must
levy and collect road tax, as school taxes
are now collected, at least equal in amount
to its quota of the State appropriation, 9TH
er-wise the latter is to be withheld. Ii also
authorizes Boards of District Oyerseers on
certain conditions, to levy and collect spec
ia. taxes, or to borrow money. to purchase
Road Rollers for their districts, and TO
meet other extraordinary expenses" There
are other provisions.

A Confidence Game,

The Bloomfield Advocate of February
25, says: On Monday of last week a man
giving his name as edward Moser," who
had been lettering about Millers;own, pre-
tended that he wished to purchase a prop
erty in that place. He looked at the house
| occupied by U. ii. Ward aud belonging TO
James &. B-ant. The prcc-Sl ,625 cash
appeared to suit the would-be purchaser.
Moser then said he wanted a team to drive
out to Daniel Bearings, in Pfoutz's Valley,
and would return the next day. He was
furnished horse and sleigh bs liyeryman
Ward. Moser instead of stopping in
Pfoutz's Valley, drove on to MiIlersburg,
Dauphin county, Pa, crossing the river on
the ice, reaching there about 9 O'Clock on
Monday evening. Stopping at the Wash
ingtOn House, he hitched his horse, and be
fore he was fairly warmed, he asked the
landlord for the loan OF SO to pursue a
thief who had stolen watch and clothin z
at MifilintOwn, and whom hs expected to
overtake in Sunbury. The landlord refused
the loan, and MOser then drove TO the restaur-
ant OF George W. Potter, in the same town,
where he nearly succeeded in taking in Mr..
Potter. But his actions aroused suspicion,
and he was shadowed by the constable and
arrested and held in custody until Tuesday,
when the horse and sleigh were recognized
as belonging TO U. II. Ward, OF Millerstown.
A telegram notified Mr.. Ward of the where
abouts Of his team, and swe airing out war
rant before Justice TI;zel, of Millerstown,
he proceeded to Millersburg and arrested
the thief, and on Tuesday Noser was lodg-
ed in our county Jail to await his trial at the
next court in April.
