with the prison, tear from the Law

thieves and murderers loose upon So
ciety. The doodle" ex-Aldermen OF
New York City ought not 20 be ar
raigned before the courts, nor on con-
viclion ought to be sent TO prison
for they were born doodle men, and
are no more responsible for yielding TO
the temptation of bride than they are
that they are above or below the aver
age height, OF that they have pug OF
Roman noses. Surely men ought not 10
be punished for that which they cannot
help. That were extreme cruelty.
Accepting this doctrine as true, the
Chicago Anarchists ought not 20 De
hung for creating riot and Wandering
the officers OF the law. They should
be turned ioose, if they are no more re-
sponsible for Their acts than for their
dreams. In short. punishment of every
character should be abolished from our
governments, and thefts, murders and
adultery, and every crime known to
man go unwhipped Of justice, We
think and we hope, that not many will
say amen to the ,olonel's suggestion "
eliminating from the mind that old
nonsense about mans Tree moral
agency"
/, III. ,-k;oL H. C,goval sf,1as tsyc,,
sense" has been the sheet anchor If
morality in this world. Danish from
the mind of man the idea that he is a
free moral agent, responsible for his
conduct. and you pave the way for such
scenes of crime, debauehery and wick
edness, that IN comparison the vices of
the antediluyians would appear virtu-
Gus; and the inhabitants of Sodom and
Gomorrah would bush at its recital.
But the Colonel thinks if the ideas Of
mans free moral agency were bsnished
we would then have charity for the
whole human race. Perhaps so, but at
best 1t would be a vicious sort Of char
ity. Charity is a noble quality Of mind
1t is the Christians browning virtue. It
is the noblest attribute Of God. But
even an increase Of charity among men,
however desirable it may be, ought not
to be purchased at such q price as the
Colonel would have US pay; for separ
ate from man the idea of his tree moral
agency, and you pluck from him the
very thing which contributes NEST to
the grandeur Of his manhood, and re-
duce him to the level of an insentient
piece of machinery.
Moreover, we think the Punishment
of that idea would by no means be con-
ducive 10 an increase of charity; for
take away the idea of mans free moral
agency and you tear away the iounda-
tons of justice, and when justice falls.
mercy is dragged with it; and without
the existence of justice and mercy, we
would find it impossible to exercise
charity. So that the object Of the
Colonel in getting nd of the nonsense"
Of mans free moral agency would de-
test his professed object-the increase
Of charity.
No; let men still think themselves re-
sponsible for their conduct, as indeed
they are. Let them still believe that
with the God given powers of reason
they possess, by which they are en-
abled to judge of what is right and
what is wrong, has come a response
bility commensurate with their intelli- |
yence, and that they are responsible for
their conduct.

Reliable authorities estimate the
value of the poultry products of the
United States for the year 1896, at the
enormous SUN of six hundred millions
of dollars. But even this amount
large as it is, does not represent the
total value of this great industry for
u single year. In 1876, the United
States imported from foreign countries
about five million dozen eggs-but in
1885 the quantity had increased to
over sixteen million dozen. If these
figures are correct, land there is nc
reason to doubt them the poultry
industry amounts to more than either
the wheat crop, the cotton crop, the
hay crop, or the entire product of all
our gold or silver mines. We say these
figures are astounding; probably not
one person in ten thousand is aware
that the poultry industry stands at
the head. But what is it that has
lifted the poultry industry to this sur.
prising eminence? No doubt the dis
cov5ry of Sheridan's Powder to make
hens lay had much to with it but not
all. The fact is the women and children
are beginning to learn that there is nc
way by which they can secure q con-
slant inflow of ready cash with so
little effort Us by keeping and intelli
gently caring for hens. |. s., johnson

EdjJor Of the Essee County Herald,

The public have been informed in a
recent copy of your paper that some
two thousand feet OF spruce and pine
lumber were stolen from the residence,
now in process of bailding, of Geo. n.
Dale. Circunstantial evidence point
ed towards Mr., e. B. uodsden as the
guilty man.
In u country town we are all aware
that an idle gossip spreads like wild
fire in the prairie grass. To most of
us, an idle gossip is passed idly by,
but this matter has gsewn SO turgid
and cutting as to brand O. man rs u
thief on circumstantiil evidence,
which is simply no evidence at all.
We should not judge of things by
events, nor of character by Provi-
dcnce, and yet the reputation of II cit
izen who himself. and his father before
him have long been familiar TO us all
one who is bound TO many of us By
fraternal ties-has been thoughtlessly
tempered with has been used as a
pIaything by careless mouths. | put
the statement no stronger, as [ fear /
may do men injustice. Thus far | can
walk on positive ground, and / care
not to approach the quicksands of
suspicion by travelling the path of
hearsay.
That justice might be done to him
who deserves it have been in com
pany with my fathers architect to
Mr.. Hodsden's building and examined
every nook and corner of the same and
am convinced-fully and entirely
convinced-as is also Mr.. Ladd the
architect, that the lumber used on
said building is not of the same quality
or size or marking of any that has been
purchased for our house.
Truly the accusation has been a
grievous one, and nearly every effort
shall be made to clear away the charge
from character which has been con
clusively proved innocent.
Human nature indeed is weak, and
man likes to convince himself that he
is justified in speaking i'll of his fellow.
But let US be honest to that better soul
within us. Pardon me if do anyone
a wrong, but let me say to some of you
whom these events have appeared to
please STOP A MOMENT AND THINK.
Do not say he has stolen but concealed
it, and charge you, dare not say that
money has settled the affair. ] affirm
that paternal and brotherly friendship
have merely caused the examination
of an unjust accusation on q charac-
ter which deserved it not.
