Col. nober. G. 1ncer.oll,s Idea.

Most people regard those who violate
the law with hatred. They do not take
into consideration the circumstances.
They do not believe that man is peruetu.
ally acted upon. They throw out of con-
sideration the effect of poverty. of neces-
sity, and, above all. of opportunity. For
these reasons they regard criminals with
feelings of revenge. They wish to see
them punished. They want them impris-
oned or hanged. They do not think the
law has been vindicated unless somebody
has been outraged. look at these things
from an entirely different point-of view.
/ regard these people who are in the
clutches of the law not only as unfortu-
mates, but. for the most part, as victims.
You may call them victims of nature, or
OF nations. or of governments: it makes no
difference, they are victims. Under the
same circumstances the very persons who
punish them would be punished. But
whether the criminal is victim or not,
the honest man, the industrious man, has
the right to defend the product of his
labor. He who sows and plows should
be allowed to reap. and be who endeavors
to take from him his harvest is what we
call criminal: and it is the business of
society to protect the honest from the dis
honest.-New York World Interview.

Uncle Abe Ludlow stated publicly last
night that one night recently, every saloon
which he passed in Springfield, at half-past
10 O'Clock, was wide open. We think MIR.
Ludlow Is mistaken. But the query is, Did
he take any steps to have these saloons
closed according TO the ordinance ? If he
had. two things would have been shown
1rst that be, es q temperance reformer, is
doing ali be can to advance the cause by
having the present laws and ordinances

that be was mistaken a. to the time, and

position In which he has placed himself, of

The fir,t biz gun in the Indiana campaign

The iirst big gun In the Indiana campaign
was fired yesterday, In Richmond, by an
Ohio man. II was grand meeting In every
sense and Governor Foraker more than
maintained his reputation as speaker and
political orator. The meeting was simply
something unprecedented in the history of
Wayne county. the greatest republican
county in the Hoosier state. The meeting
means that the promise of the Indiana re.
publicans to carry the state for Harrison
and Morton will be made good, with plenty
to spare.
Governor Foraker's speech was a master
piece. His discussion of the campaign
issues, and his convicting and vigorous
arrsignment of Cieveland's administration
were comprehensive and annihilating. We
are sorry that the speech is too long to be
reproduced in our columns, for 1t should be
read by everybody. Ohio's gallant governor
won another glorious victory.
Hon. Ben Butterworth and Judge John
a. Caldwell were nominated for congress
by the republicans of the First and Second
Congressional districts yesterday. Judge
Caldwell Is q new man In congressional
politics, but is q pure man and hustler.
He will be elected, and will make an ex-
cellent member.
