1T rs becoming question whether

That genius which fails to ally itself with
purity Of life and honesty OF purpose
comes short Of true fame, and while such

OF art, the affairs Of the household should

IT rs now generally believed that Gov.
Hill purposes pardoning the New York
boycotters who are in Sing Sing prison,
convicted Of taking money from boycotted
people in New York to pay the expenses
Of boycott. The district-attorney states
he does not believe the convicted men
fully understood the laws they were vio-
lating; that they had borne the charac-
tiers, outside OF their boycotting exploit,
OF Industrious, orderly citizens. He did
his best to convict them, because they
had already violated a law, and Ignorance
OF statutory provision does not excuse
any man. Now that the law has been
INDICATED by their conviction, he does
not believe 1t would be amlss to par
don them, that they may return to their
families, who are dependent on them for
support. There are five OF the men, and
they are the only men who have ever been
sent to states prison for boycotting.
Their conviction opened the eyes of their
comrades, and boycotting is going into
dlsuse in New York. The example no
doubt had healthy effect, and 1t seems
to be generally understood that the New
York governor shall let his pardon go
forth and release the men. They will not
be boycotters any more.

Earthquake Insurance,

The difficulty experienced in providing
for the necessities OF those who have suf-
fered by the earthquake at Charleston
suggests the question of whether it would
not be possible to arrange for the indem-
MITIGATION OF losses of this kind by the or
binary methods of insurance. An earth
quake, fortunately, does not come but at
rare Intervals, and man might insure
his property against damage by such a
natural conyulsion during his entire life,
and live to an extreme old age without
having to call upon the insurlng com
panies to make good his losses. But,
then, the same may be said of other dis.
asters, which are, none the less, subjects
Of insurance.

For the assistance OF the reporters then We
offer the following list OF appropriate words, 81
a contribution 10 the relief fund;
scismology,--the science OF earthquakes.
seismogTaphy,-the science OF reporting, reg
istering or describing earth quakings.
seismometry, meDsuration Of earth

selamometry, -pertaining 10 the observation
or mcDsuratlon Of earthquakes.
selsmogony, generation or birth OF
earthquakes,
seismomancy, 1.-The prophecying or foretell-
ing OF, or by means Of, earthquakes.
seismophobist--one who fears earthquakes
selsmophile-0ne who Ia addicted 10 the
collection OF, or loves, earthquakes.
seismophagous- Habitually eating or living

This list might be easily prolonged; but II
will sn1ico for ordinary reportorial uBes, and
the cnterpIising correspondent will find that
comb ned with such epithets as abysmal, cat
Aclysmic, chaotic and the like, any one Of the
above will lend a very effective coloring TO the
most commonplace write up.

CONVICT LABOR AND SYSTEMS

All over this country the complaint OF
honest industry at its enforced COMPETE
ton with convict labor is heard We
hear less of it in Texas than in other
states, but II the evil is not checked there
will come time when II will be felt here.
In the Eastern states 1t is subject Of
sore complaint. The penitentiarles OF
most Of the states are gradually being
converted into vast manufactures where
articles of prime use and necessity
are turned out in great quantities. Hats,
shoes, clothing and iron goods are the
| chief products OF convict labor. In the
Eastern states nearly every stove that is
made Is fashioned by convict labor, and
| the iron founders of the East feel the
competition In Tennessee, Alabama
and Georgia there is great complaint of
! the employment OF felon labor IN the iron
and coal mines. Men who own property
where iron and coal are plentiful cannot
utilize that property as advantageously as
ought to be done, because other men,
owning similar properties, have been able
to secure convict labor and market the
products Of the mines at much lower fig
ures than man or a firm hiring honest
labor can possibly do. And this is not
the only pernicious feature OF the system.
According to the theory laid down in the
law books, criminals are imprisoned for a
triple reason or purpose. First, as q
punishment for wrong-doing; second, to
protect society from the vicious; and
third, to reform the wrong-doer. There
can be no doubt that the punishment idea
is carried out and executed as literally as
could be desired, for the life of convict
is hard and harsh; and in measure So
ciety is spared the menace of the crimi-
NAILS presence, as long as he remains in
| confinement, But what becomes of the
reform idea 1t is lost sight of entirely
under the convict system. The unfortu-
nate felon is looked upon simply as a
machine, capable of doing so much labor
for the contractors. When he becomes
unable TO do that the sooner he dies the
better. He is too often worked beyond
reason or humanity; spurred up by cruel
and brutal punishments; treated as a
wild beast rather than man, II he sur
wives his term OF imprisonment the result
is that he is embittered against a world
which has treated him so cruelty, and
is turned loose upon society a
worse man than when he entered the
prison walls. He is only at to be impris-
oned again Or killed outright. The sys-
TEN is all primitive, without any element
of reform. 1t is singular that with all the
advances OF our modern civilization the
problems OF prison reformation should
have received so little attention from
society as 1t has. We have made won
derful advances in every department o.
life and industry save in the management
of our criminal classes. Our prisons ar,
: as open to criticism, comparatively speak
, ing, as they were in John Howard's time
/ And here is a field where enlightened
philanthropy might find, II 1t would,
1 useful work to do
