4 TERRIBLE LESSON.

To the suffering of that widow, fol
whom in this dark bour of supreme an
guish and mental torture, every kind
heart warns in sympathy; and to
those little children to whose terror
stricken eyes the death of their father
came in the most horrible of forms,
the following quotation from "The
Mill on the Floss" is most appropriate :
$50 deeply inherent is it in this life of
ours that men have to suffer for each
others sins, so inevitably diffusive is
human suffering, that even Justice
makes it's victims, and we can conceive
no retribution that does not spread be.
vond its mark in pulsations of unmer-
tied pain"
The lesson of that crime and its
most condign punishment is not COM
plete without considering its horrors to
these innocent victims and MARTYRS to
the terrible majesty of the law, and to
the memorable demand of Society 70,
protection, even at the fearful cost OF
and the bleeding hearts of brave women
the fearful eyes Of innocent children.
But while tb. law demands its vic.
tins and society must have its mar.
tyss, that humanity which in its divine.
ly instincts is higher than all human
law and broader than all human soci-
ETY., teaches us to pity the suffering
which may not be avertcd and to soft
en- with sympathy and gentler words,
the blow which may not be withheld.
The Justice in the name of which this
unmerited punishment of women and
children is inflicted, should be even
handed, and the terrible sword should
fall on all alike or it becomes the YER
lest mockery which can appeal to a
Just heaven for redress. l have no
faith in the efficacy, as moral lesson,
in that stern, cold and callous refusal
to open the doors of a dreary prison to
the life long entrance of one criminal
while the same doors are charity and
flippantly opened wide for the nnmeri-
ted exit of another criminal, equally
guilty. Moral lessons are not so
taught and punishment however bor-
rible in form, falls far short of accom-
plishing the only purpose in which it
can find its only possible justification.
when there is the suspicion of Unequal
ity and uncertainty of its infliction, in
some cases, TOBIAS.

The True situation.

To De Editor Of the Register;

or less of inaccurate information about the
situation as it relates to the nomination for
Copgress in this district. 1t is proper to

not vet held conventions, but rs the result
of a recent careful canvas of such as have
not and a count of results in such as have
spoken the truth is not far from this.

ANNuAL Loss BY FIRE.


The New York Star gives a summary OF
the report of the National Board Of Under
writers that have Just concluded a meeting
in New York. Ii was shown that last year
3OS insurance companies paid out S53,OOO,-
600 for losses by fire. Counting the losses
BY other companies not included in the
90S mentioned, the annual loss by fire
would foot up to more than 500, OOO, 900.
This amount represents One-ffth OF the
annual increase of the wealth Of the coun-
try, and the proportion is still increas-
ing. This suggests the necessity OF more
stringent measures to counterfeit this de
struction. Says the Star: '"The facts be
ing so p~ortentous, it becomes OF national
interest to arrive, il possible, ut some
measurable cure. The carelessneSs and
criminality of men cannot be easily pre-
vented. The thousand possible casualties
| which occasion fires in spite of rigid pre-
caution must be reckOncd rs unavoidable
in the great chapter of accidents. In spite
of the severe punishment meted out by the
laws of every State to the crime Of arson,
unscrupulOus wretches will continue to
burn their own property for the purpose
of gain, or burn the property of Others
for the sake of revenge"
A short time ago, fires became so nOtori-
ously prevalent in New Hampshire that the
legislature saw no way out OF the difficult
w except to abolish insurance companies.
The annual loss by fire decreased 6O per
| cent. There was no longer an incentive
for men to burn their own property.
4 more practical way to get at the evil
is for companies TO use more care in taking
risks. Ii is said that most of the French
companies have a clause in their policies
that releases them from payment of loss il
the fire OriginateS on the premises, unless in
case the insured proves that the
arson was the work of some
person who is in no way con,
nected with the insured property, If com,
panies were very rigid in taking risks, PEG,
pie would soon learn to erect safer build,
ings and use greater caution.

SAYS the Charleston Star: "A prOmi-
nent Republican stated yesterday that if
the managers Of his party attempted to
make a bargain with either the Temper
ance peoples OF Greenbackers that h and sew
enl Ofhis Republican friends would vote the
straight Democratic ticket next fall The
chances are that the afOre mentioned Re
publican and his friends will vote the
Democratic ticket ut the next election"
The fusion in the last campaign was dis
tasteful to many Republicans and equally
as much to the G~reenbaekers. 1t isn't
surprising that another attempt Of the
same kind should be mutually repulsive.
Bringing together parties of such different
principles and professions is too much like
hanging eats together by the tails.

PAYNE's TRADUCERs DEMoL-
ISHED.

In the United States Senate yesterday
in sixty-one votes cast only seventeen, a
little more than one-fourth, were cast In
favor o~finstituting an investigation against
Senator PAYNE. The crowd who, for POI
Htical purposes, had sought to crush Sen
ator PAYNE, and three Republican Sena-
tors, were utterly disconnected by Senator
LoGAN's manly speech in the Senate.
But the rebuke given them yesterday IS
enough to make them sneak off and hide
themselves. The rebuke is so fOrcible and
plain that the most Obtuse among them
can not fail TO understand its meaning.
Though political ~partisanship and IN
trige got the better of so many of the ONO
Republicans who, without setting forth
any reasons, were wildly clamOring for an
Investigation, and quite a number OF he
publican Senators, it is pleasure to think
that there are still 50 many who rise above
narrow party prejudiees and stand up Tor
the right-nlen WHO VIII E'e o1'"" wy
by. or lend their aid to crush their fellow
senators to the earth that some political
ends may be gained. General LOGAN in
so heroically standing up for the right and
hurting defiance into the teeth
of those who were trying to
destroy him, has achieved a
prouder victory than the prOudest he
ever gained on the field Of battle. And
people in years to come will so regard it.
Those who look carefully over the votes
east in favor of Senator HOAR's report for
an Investigation may see something that
will Indicate the Presidential possibilities
of BLAINE and SHERMAN. While the Re
publican Senators who voted against the
unjust onslaught upon Senator PAYNE
voted from principle, there would doubt
less have been others who would
voted the same way had they
not wanted to help along their can
didate for the Presidency. But the vote
may be taken as a pretty good index OF the
strength of the two candidates.

THE letter from Fact" in this morn
ing's REGISTER shows that the delegates in
the Fourth Congressional District will be
very evenly divided among the three can
didates, JACKSON, GIBSON and HOGG.
As the writer is well versed in the politics
of his District, his estimates may be taken
as fairly reliable.
The question for the delegates to deter
mine is who is the best and most available
man. As there was only a margin Of l53
votes in the election two years ago there
must be no risks taken this fall. A thor
ough organization and a strong candidate
should be in the field to bring out every
Democratic voter in the District.
