Judge Biddle of Philadelphia, has

Judge Biddle of Philadelphia, has
made many noteworthy addresses
from the Bench, but his remarks In
sentencing the defanltlng treasurer
of tho Decatur Building Associa-
ton deserve to be printed In letters
of gold, for the perusal of judicial
officers everywhere. His sweeping
condemnation of the pernicious doc
trine that education, social position
and similar advantages should be
taken IN mitigation of punishment
is as timely as it is truthful and
vigorous. The most dangerous of
all rascals is the man who disguises
himself under a cloak Of good char
ac'er, and continues in crime the
more easily because of his unmer-
lied reputation. The proposition
that justice should be largely with
mercy for such criminals is false in
logic and hurtful in example. 1t
leniency is to be exercised, it should
be in behalf of the ignorant often
der, not the cultivated rogue. The
failure of the courts of many States
to impose inadequate punishment
or IN many cases any punishment
at all-upon high toned embezz'ers
and magnificent thieves has too oft
en- made justice a byword and a
mockery. We need more Judge
BlddIes on the Bench to send cult
waited thieves to their proper place.
The fear of a long and certain i'm
prisonment IS for this class a more
efficacious deterrent from crime
than any other consideration. The
judicial sentimentalism which oft
en- turns them loose upon commu-
nifty, after a nominal expiatlon, is
an affront to common sense as well
as q menace 10 society.

A Protest From Toledo.
REFORM DEMANDED.

Oen. COmly paper. tne 1OieQO
Commercial Telegram of last
Monday, describes a sorrowful
situation in his city, and sounds
the note of warning as follows:
sin the larger cities through
out the country, the authorities
have recently been making spe-
cial raids upon different forms of
vice for the publication of soci-
ETY., but in Toledo there has been
daily a growing tendency to
greater boldness on the part of
those who war upon good morals.
Vice has become unprecedented
ly bold and audacious. Gambling
is carried Oh with little attempt
at concealment, while lewd wom-
en- occupy rooms in the most con-
spic uous portions of the city and
are shameless in the conduct of
their business. Night after night,
upon principal streets, these wo-
men may be seen visiting saloons
and conducting themselves in a
manner which would not be toll
Grated in cities where decent
regard is had for healthy pub
lie sentiment. Only a few days
ago, in the very heart of the city,
a well dressed and comely look
ing young fallen woman was
staggering upon the street and
finally fell to the ground and was
assisted to her den of iniquity by
a companion in vice. but the po-
lice give no attention to such
scenes, neither is any effort made
to check the growth Of this evil.
which is dragging to ruin num-
berless young men. who may be
seen on the sire cts and in saloons
with these vile characters, at all
times of night.
The police appear to give no
attention whatever to the protec-
ton to society against this rapid
march of vice. They can see and
hear these people at all times of
night, and when they become so
boisterous as 10 greatly annoy
reputable people. the officers. in
stead of arresting and locking up
the. offenders, merely caution
them against making so much
noise. Scenes Of this character
are nightly witnessed, at differ
ent points in the city, and yet the
police depart tment feel insulted
if the people complain because
they are not protected against
such exhibitions. The police. in
reality, are The protectors and
promoters of vice and crime, act
ing rather as sentinels to warn
the vicio against danger, at the
same time allowing them every
liberty which society can endure
without being driven to the or
ganizatlon Of vigilance commit
tees for self protection.
The police Board have a fear
full responsibility resting upon
them. 1t is in their power to
place the police force upon ba
sis which will compel vice to hide
its hidecus head and protect the
young against ruin by reason of
tins daily and nightly contact
with the vicious. What do they
propose TO do? Who among the
members of the board will bring
this matter to test and compel
members to record themselves
tor or against crime T.
