JUDGE WHEELER wisely showed the
Pierce boy. who robbed the mails at Rut-
land. all the leniency in the power Of the
court and gave him a chance to redeem
himself and make a man. 1t now remains
for the boy to show whether he is worth
saving. BrauleborO PhGnir.
The above would be the truth were it
the fact that young Pierce is the only one
affected by Judge Wheeler's sentence.
But unfortunately this is not so. The
chief end of legal punishment is not to
bring pain and suffering upon the crimi-
nal for his sake alone it is to furnish
such an example that others will not fol-
low in the footsteps of the one punished.
This confessed criminal was of good
family, had received every educational
facility and knew as well as any boy
could know the character and consequent
ces of his act. He was let of with fine
of 5000, which his father paid. This
method of dealing with such cases is OBJ
jectionable for at least two very good
reasons. In the first place, the boy had
had chance to learn the difference be-
tween right and wrong. Not all youths
of his years who get into trouble have
had the same opportunity. Many of
them are taught that stealing is smart -
and is to be avoided only when there is
danger of detection. To follow Judge
Wheeler's plan would be to give boys of
the first class an advantage over the 9th
ers, which is manifestly unjust. But the
stronger reason against the punishment
inflicted is that it places a money value
on crime, and thus establishes a distinc-
tion between criminals who are able to
raise few hundred dollars and those
who are not. So to administer the law is
to break down the very principles upon
which our government is founded. In a
democracy. absolute equality of all men
before the law is the first thing necessary
to the continuance of that government.
Socialism and all the other "isms" which
threaten the perpetuity of this nation get
their strength and encouragement from
those who seeing rich and educated Grim.
inals escape and poor and ignorant one.
punished, reason that some other govern
mental organization than that at present
existing must be devised before the poor
man can have fair show. Deny as it We
may, it is nevertheless true that agtators
of the character described haye already
obtained too much material for their ar
gumeuts from the proceedings of the
courts of this country.

DIR. II. A. Cutting secretary of the

of a Whiting invention in the St Johns

most desirable devices that we have met
for many a day is Parker's patent bag
holder. 1t is Inexpensive, costing only
one dollar; holds the bag open perfectly
ard is one of the useful things that no
farmer can afford to do without. This
was invented by j. f. Parker, agent of
the Central Vermont railroad at Whiting,
and very far exceeds in worth those eX-
pensiVe devices for that purpose that
have cost from three to ten times as
much as this We learn that with nc
great effort on his part they sell faster
than he can get them manufactured and
this manufacture is likely to add another
great industry. Such labor-saving in
ventions have true merit and as we have
used one the past summer it has been a
constant wonder that some one has not
invented it before. But when the thought
comes it is always found that things OF
great simplicity that are perfect in them
selves are many times much greater
advantage than more intricate machines
We trust Mr.. Parker may give us more
equally valuable acquisitions, and we
| learn he has others in view.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER %. 1885.

THE Burlington and Rutland papers
have devoted large share of their ener-
gies the past week to discussing the ques-
ton whether there is any smallpox in
the former place. 1t turns out that the
disease broke out in Burlington and that
two cases resulted The patients were
removed to the pest-house, and one died.
That is all there is of the scare, which
seems to have stirred up outsiders much
more than the people of the city itself.
The curious thing about it all is that
there should be such terrible dread of
the disease. 1t is not half so likely to be
fatal SIS is typhoid fever. What makes it
so deadly in Montreal is the great num-
Der sick with it and the consequent lack
of proper care, the overcrowding and the
ignorance, stupidity and general contra
riness of the people, who will neither do
anything for themselves nor submit to
the prescribed sanitary regulations. With
the facilities for treatment. nursing and
isolation obtainable almost anywhere in
the States, there is no cause for excite
ment even if one or two or a dozen cases
appear in some of our larger towns.
