Tne Prevention ofCrime.

1t is an old axiom that 1t ia the GER
tainty rather than the severity of pun
ishment that tends most efec ually to
prevent the commission of crime L. is
therefore important that the penalty
provided for an ofiense shall be in &C.
cordance with its Nervousness. Indeed,
excessive penalties are calculated, in
some cases, to defeat the object aimed
at. Magistrates hesitate to com NIT,
and juries fail to convict persons of a
Ger tain grade of crime of which the
penalty is death. 1t would be- far bet
ter for society if fine and Imprisonment
for this particular offense could be sub
stituted for the penalty Of death, par
ttoularly where the parties implicated
belong TO the Caucasian race. A case
recently occurred in our city, where
the person charged with an offense was
allowed to go az liberty. Had the pun
been held for trial, and jury would
have been required to determine his
guilt or innocence. A somewhat SINH
lar case recently occurred in Kent
County. How the matter will bearranged
remains to be seen. No one, however,
believes that the offender will be con
victed, even itit be necessary for The
principal witness to commit perjury in
order that he M ay escape. There may
be other otfenses for which the penalty
is excessive, and it would be we'll to
inquire into the matter, so that convic-
tion should be rendered more certain
and the com mission OF crime be pre-
vented.

Adherence TO Rules.

President Cleveland finds it rather
difficult matter to adhere strictly to the
rules he laid down for the government
OF his conduct. His claim to non.par-
tisanship is sheer pre- erse. Before
his term passes away every officer un.
der his jurisdiction will be filed by
men calling themselves Democrats We
do not complain so much of this as Of
the prett ms ons made to nom partisan
ship. The rules laid down OF the be-
ginning Of his term will be treated AZ
empty wind, and elections will be car
= isd by the use Of patronage, bribery
and corruption. The pardon of Michsei
Mullen, Of Cincinnati, who locked a
hundred colored men up to keep them
from voting az the last Presidents al
election, is an evidence of the course
that will be pursued. Fair promises
sound well, but acts are far more con
vincing, as they show the intentions Of
the man.
We need no. expect any fairness il
elections when such scoundrels ar,
pardoned, aud those who condone simi
lar offenses are appointed to office. The
men who rebelled against the govern
ment are no worse than many who hay,
been appointed to office, aud purity o
elections will be found to be a thing Q
the past.

The Washington CORE spond dent of
the New York Tribune makes quite a

SEcRETARY Whitney cannot fet
along very well without the cruisers
that John Roach was building for the
Government, aud he has come down to
such q proper level of thought, that he
has made arrangements with Mr..
Rosch's assignees to finish the yessels
upon the terms Of the contract which
Attorney. General Garland declared of
no binding value. The terms of the
contract for finishing the vessels are
that the assignees are to relinuuish the
shipyard, plant and materials, without
dispute to the Navy Department, and
the work of conpl .tiou is to bs carried
forward under the Seeretary's super.
vision. The as'ignees are to furnish the
labor, material- and tools, and are t.
receive the full contract price for each
vessel. If, however, it should cos,
more money thon the stipulated pric,
to finish the cruis ers, the b ondsmen ar
to hold themse Ives liable.

WE are glad to see that Secretary
Manning has awoke to the necessity OF
ascertaining why there is such differ-
enoe in the cost of manufacturing arti-
cies in this country and in Europe, and
that he may have the correct data to
work upon, he has issued circular re-
q questing manufacturers to forward the
informa il n desired, or facts besriuk on
the C sc, 20 en- Bile him to come 70 A cor
rect conclusion. 1t is not likely the
Secretary will receive any other infor.
nation than that already furnished 40
copiousIy during the last and other
election campaigns, that the difference
in the price of labor betw the differ
ent sections is exactly the difference
that free trade and protection make
We can only wish the Secretary su ,cess
In his efforts.

One Of the secrets of the frequency OF
strikes n m any departments Of labor is
that the strikers receive more money
while Oh strike than while working.
The Tailors' National [ Mon, that met
in Baltimore yesterday, struck against
this system by reducing the allowances
to striking tailors from S6 TO s. a week.
1t was stated in that meeting that union
tailors on strike, including what they
received from other local trades unions
got from SIS to $40 week. This does
very well as long as the exchequer
holds out and pays tailors well while
, on vacation.

Prospects OF lmprovs.x Business

Prnspects Of lmprOvaaE Business
Every evidence Of returning good
times will be heartily greeted by every.
body, and every rift In the dark cloud
tn at overh hAngs the business sky will be
looked upon as q precursor Of better
times to follow. So far to our eye there
Is scarcely q ray of the long wished for
change, but our exchanges occasionally
speak Of signs of q business revival
that we devoutly hope will come
soon. Amongst some of the good signs
referred I'd it is noted that the clearing z
houses report larger volume Of busi-
ness than last year.
The cotton crop is said to be the
largest ever grown. The grain reports
are much improved, especially in the
Northwest. Corn promises TO be the
largest crop ever grown. Oats promise
to exceed the crop of last year, when
the crop was the largest ever known.
The yield Of wheat this year will be
about 375 ,00o, ,O00sushels, W hich with the
large bala nee remaining Of last years
crop, will considerably exceed the
probable demand. Orders for steel
rails are becoming 50 abundant that 1t
is contemp plated TO raise the price to $50
per ton, % 1t is said.
The Philadelphia Record says there
is much less hesitation to do business
from the fear OF a further depression in
values or The unex pectei development
Of conditions unfsvorsble to the health
fnl progress of trade. The New Orleans
Picayune says q growing conviction of
better times near at hand has csus-
ed increased buying in all lines, and
preparations for brisk trade are no.
ticeable On all sides. The Baltimore
American says there Is every prospect
of healthy fall trade, aud business
merchants generally feel much encour-
aged over the outlook. A more conf
dent feeling pervades the market than
at any time within the last three years,
and marked improvement is notice
able. The Memphis Appeal says there
is rift IN the cloud aud the fall trade
is likely 10 open encouragingly. "Here
n the South all signs are that way, and
the feeling in all trade centres is one of
confidence
The Philadelphia Evening Call in
noting the rapid extension of spirit
of confidence and the preparations that
are being made for a revival of trade
activity says 1t is quite remarkable
| that all these signs OF Improvement
| should occur in midsummer and amid
intense heat, but admits that such has
been the fact. A large number of
business men talk in the same strain,
and at lesst lead us to hope that what
they predict will be a reality. Should
these predictions come true, none would
greet them with heartler welcome
than the thousands OF unemployed
laborerS in all sec ions OF the country.

Experts in linen do not
need to be told that the most
substantial of table-linens is
made at Barnsley, England.
But most buyers are not ex-
perts-how can they be =?
You take in your hand a
Barnsley table-cloth, you
think it double. 1t is thick,
but SO fine that you wonder
how it can be so thick. 1t
is soft, but SO closely woven
that you wonder how it can
be so soft. And SO it is
trebly durable.
We should hardly adver-
tise Barnsley table-linen
when nine out of ten OF the
buyers of such are away
but the price! Barnsley ST.

napkins of heavy linen every
way properly made but not

SO snowy, and the figures
not so clear; Sl.5o a dozen
there's a halt-dollar off the
price and nothing really
wrong with the napkins.
Little tringed napkins,
dollies, with borders OF red
or blue as you like, three
eighths OF a yard square, SIS
cents. And that is fifteen
cents a dozen off. The
doilies are pretty and perfect

Trunks and travelling bags
are wonderfully handy-that

land here is a handy place
to get them. You see a

its neighbor on this side and
a little smaller than its neigh
bor on the other side.
Another row of different
ltrunks-another sort and all

,lyou think of the sort of
trunk, and look at the rows
then of the size, and you
measure them with your eye.
