The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1885-11-05

THE SUDDEN and unexpected death of Gen.
George b. Mcclellan, caused a feeling of
profound sorrow throughout the entire
country. One by one the prominent men of
the late war are passing away and, ere long,
the entire rank and file will be mustered on
the other side. While Gen. Mcclellan, like
many other prominent officers, did not
achieve that degree of success as military
commander that the country hoped to see,
and that his opportunities would seem to
have warranted, nevertheless he was great
man in some branches of his profession. AS
an organizer, he has seldom been equalled
and, perhaps, never excelled. Much of the
success that eventually crowned the Union
arms was due to the great work accomplished
by him in thoroughly organizing, drilling
and equipping the great awkward squad
that made up, under his command, the Army
of the Potomac, and that subsequently became
one of the grandest armies ever assembled
on the globe. AS soldier, a citizen and a
patriot, the name of George b. Mcclellan
will live in history, and will be sacredly
cherished in the hearts of his grateful coun-
trymen as long as the free institutions OF
America, which he did so much to preserve,
shall endure.

DETROIT DEMOCRATS have disgraced them
selves by renominating the notorious Jerry
Falvey for alderman. Mr.. Falvey is one OF
the 'great indicted" having been recently
indicted by grand jury for malfeasance in
Office. The Free Press, the democratic
organ of that city and of the state, unites
with the entire city press, in condemning
the nomination. The metropolis of Michigan
is ruled by a ring that rivals the famous
Tweed ring of New York, in iniquity and
rottenness. tits to oe hoped that the people
have been sufficiently aroused to show them
at the city election ''what they are going to
do about it,"

The CAUSE of justice has scored another
triumph in the city of New York. Ferd.
Ward, of the late firm of Grant d Ward, the
notorious bank swindler, has been convicted
of grand larceny, sentenced to ten years in
prison, and is now wearing striped suit at
Sing Sing, N. Y. In passing sentence upon
him, Judge Barrett said: II have nothing TO
say to you in the way of homily, because
think it would be wholly useless. You have
shown yourself to be wholly Indifferent
throughout this entire trial, to the charges
which have been brought against you. You
seem to experience no remorse whatever
over the ruin and sorrow which you have
brought to hundreds of people in this coun-
try. You have done more to unsettle public
confidence in moneyed institutions than any
other man of this generation. And yet
through this entire trial you have shown
yourself 10 be wholly unrepentant for the
sins you have committed. This being the
fact must simply content myself with pro-
nouncing the sentence of the court, which is
that you shall be confined in the state prison
at hard labor for the period of ten years." 1t
is said that justice is blind, but she occasion
ally has her eyes unbandaged long enough
to see great crime like Wards and, seeing,
to infiict well-deserved and merited punish
ment. A few examples like the conviction
of Fish and Ward will doubtless have ten
dency 10 put rascally bank directors and
cashiers in wholesome fear of the law, and
diminish wholesale robbing of stockholders

Gambling at Fairs.

u. H." attempts, in two column article
in the Dowagiac Times, to justify the various
gambling schemes that were allowed on the
fair ground, at the recent Dowagiac fair He
says: 81 do not approve of any kind of gam
bling, whether it be betting on horse racing
or ringing canes, but these things belong to,
and are part of fair, and if the ASSOCIATION
should undertake to inaugurate a moral re-
form by removing them from our fair, they
would find that they had overshot public
sentiment, and the stock in our fair would
not be worth twenty five cents on the dollar
in two years. If 81. H. is right in his
views; if the Dowagiac fair, or any similar
association is dependent on gambling and the
gambling fraternity for its success; il three
fourths of the value of the stock of any
such association depends upon the admission
OF gaming and gaming devices, the sooner
such association becomes bankrupt and goes
out of existence, the better it will be for the
community. If an agricultural (?) fair, or
an exhibition of the mechanic arts, cannot
be maintained without the licensing of
swindling games, which are not only immoral,
but illegal, then let the people go without
fairs, and the promoters of such institutions
be minus dividends. We suspect ~. H."
must be stockholder in the Dowagiac Fair
Association, else he would not be so anxious
to maintain the value of its shares, regardless
of the morality and legality of the measures
adopted for that purpose.

The DETROIT Tribune, successor to the
Detroit Post, comes to us, fresh, spicy and
newsy. 1t is evidently the intention of its
proprietors, the Messrs. Nimocks, to make
their paper what it should be, first class
newspaper They are experienced journal
lists, they own the paper themselves, and evil
IDENTIFY thoroughly understand their bust
ness. The Pos, was good paper, but,
judging from the first few numbers, the
Tribune will be better one.

Under the statute, the judge of probate,
the county agent of the state board of correc-
tons and charities, and the county superin-
tendents of the poor, are constituted jail in
spectors for their respective counties and re-
CURED TO report the condition of the jails of
the state to the several circuit judges of the
state, and to the state board of corrections
and clarifies. We have been permitted to
peruse the report prepared by the inspec-
tors of our county who, after stating very
forcibly the disadvantages of the present
system of combining criminals and persons
accused of crime, in the common jails of the
state--such as their enforced idleness, the
herding together of all classes of criminals,
young lads with hardened offenders, etc., and
other grave objections to the present system,
say,"In conclusion we would suggest and re-
specially recommend that the plan of con-
filming criminals in places similar to the
county Jail of this county ought to be abol-
ished, and means adopted, through legisla-
ton or otherwise, looking to the employment,
support and supervision of criminals SEN
fenced to be there confined, by the state or
other authority, where these marked abuses
pointed out and which are believed to exist
in greater or less degree throughout the
state can be avoided and cured"
We heartily concur in the suggestions of
the inspectors. The county Jail system is
radically wrong, and no better work could be
performed by our legislature than to devise
and adopt different and better plan. The
system of district prisons has been suggest
ed and favorably spoken of. Such a plan is
feasible and might be adopted and so arrang-
ed that all persons convicted of minor crimes
should be confined therein and be compelled
to labor for the state during the period of
their confinement. Such prisons could be
built at the expense of the state and accord
ing to a uniform plan, by which imprison-
ment would not only be made punishment,
but the disadvantages of the county Jail sys-
tenn could be, in great degree, avoided and
the state at the same time receive the benefit
of the labor of the convicts, whose time, in
our common jails, is worse than wasted. We
hope that this important matter may receive
the attention it merits. at the hands of future
legislatures of the state.
