Treating Crime as Q Disease.

The theory which makes criminal
tendencies disease. and crime the re-
suit Of physical arrangement or dis
proportion, is not new one, but when
Prince Krapotkine seriously proposes
that we put 1t in practice, it becomes
rather interesting. This writer in n
recent address on the subject in Paris
boldly advocates the treatment Of all
wrong-doers, not as criminals TO be
punished. but as patients to be treated
and healed. They are laboring u:der
q physical disease for which they are
no more accountable than they are for
the fever or the paralysis, or the rheu-
matism they may!fall victims to. He
would, therefore, abolish all prisons
and prison treatment with them, as
useless agencies of torture, and convert
jails and penitentiaries into pleasant
hospitals In which those We now
call convicts and prisoners. shall be
tended to with care, with the purpose
OF correcting their moral deiormities
through physical diet, discipline and
treatment, and changing them into
useful and amiAbls members Of 90
ciety.
This might be better plan than the
penal arrangem. MT that now prevails.
This Is an age Of discovery and inven.
tion-and the Krapotkine proposition

derous disposition, thieving habit,
embezzling tendency. falsehood. vio'
lence and mslignity from men by
means OF quinins, ipecac, chloral,
turpentine, embrocations, hot water
and packing 10 wet sheets, may be, for
all we know TO the contrary, the true
solution OF the crime problem that
gives society 90 much trouble. But

side along the Wabash canal and slept in
the same bunk. both being employed on

DR.. Bovett, deputy territorial veter.
marian was in Deer Lodge valley few
days ago and saw on the range there
over one hundred horses afflicted with
the mango. He was told that over
three hundred animals were affected
IN the same way. The temperature was
about thirty below zero at the time of
DR.. Bovetl's visit, and many OF the
horses were suffering greatly from the
cold. having no hair on their sides or
bellies. Eight or ten of them had
died from that cause, and many more
were likely to follow suit. The mango
is very contagious, and II a NANCY
horse rubs bimself against a tree or u
post, the next horse that rubs there is
pretty certain to catch the disease.
DIR. Boyett says the mango Is very
easily cured iftne proper measures are
taken, but comparatively few stock
owners have any knowledge of how
to treat it-Ex.

Change in POstmasters.

The democracy has captured
another important position in
Marion county. This is the Silver
ton pOstoffice. The Salem postoffice
still remains in therepublican camp,
but for how long, deponent sayeth
not. Not long since ]. H. Mascher,
prohi-republican, resigned the post
mastership at Silverton, on dispos-
ing of his interests in the store OF
Riches and Mascher to one DeGuire,
and recommended the appointment
of Tom Riches, a republican, and
his former partner, as his successor.
Riches was also endorsed by over
125 citizens and patrons of the Sill
verton office, members of all parties.
Papers had been forwarded from the
department at Washington to
Riches, had been properly executed
by him, and returned, and he was
looking for his commission to arrive
at any day; but what was his con-
sternation, and that of his friends in
Silverton, on learning yesterday
that Grover had appointed one
Mosier, Il druggist and democrat, to
the place. No one i'm Silverton had
any idea that Mosier wanted the
office, SO the latter put in his quiet
and best licks in "A manner that
proved valuable. There is lots of
kicking in Silverton, but it is quiet
ly limited that a prominent business
man who combines banking and
democratic politics in this city,
knows just how it was done. Twas
ever thus!
