Ara Criminals Crazy

Before the International Congress OF
Anthropologists, DR.. Henry Mandsley, of
England, read paper on "Crime and
Criminals" in which he treated Of the
growing disposition in some quarters to
look upon every criminal as an unsound
person, and to find evidence of criminal
nature in the shape of the head and in
defective structure Of the brain. He
made the point that If all criminals must
be defective mentally, then hardly any.
one can be sound In mind for all feel the
temptation to do wrong. Every Chris.
tian who listens to the ten command.
ments and prays that God will incline
his heart to keep them feels that 1t is pos.
sible for him to commit every sin forbid
den by them. lie denied that there was
any general criminal constitution predis.
posing to and excusing crime. He met
with point blank contradiction from
DR.. Drayton, who asserted that the
chronic old criminal has special type
OF skull, is predisposed to crime and
incapable OF resisting the impulse.
When eminent scientific specialists, who
have devoted their lives to the study of
the matter, disagree in this way, what
are the jurymen and judges to do ? DIR.
1audsley said that there were no theories
Of criminal anthropology SO we'll estab-
lished as to justify revision Of the Grim.
inal law, but added that the time had
come when we should use our prisons as
we do our hospitals, not only for the
treatment Of the inmates but for the ad.
vancement of knowledge. DIR. Drayton
thought the only chance of betterment
was in the use of special moral training.
No doubt there is vast amount of alb
stract wisdom in these rather hazy OBJ.
servations, but the average man intent
upon doing justice, can only give it all
up in despair. Given criminal with a
deformed brain, and two wise men who
disagree as to his ability to resist the
criminal impulse, what is to be done
with him. Obviously the protection OF
society requires that he should be Gagged,
but whether mercifully, as a iunatic, or
with Iigor, as bad man, who can tell ?
Surely Solomon was already very wise
and thoughtful man when he asked for
wisdom that he might know how to
judge q great people.

Grayer Cleveland.

To-day the Democratic national con.
vant,on in st. Louis will renominate for |
president of this republic Grover Cleve-
land. who has been 90 clean In his high
ofice that the demand for his re selection
comes with unanimous call from every
quarter Of the country. The rise OF this
man to power, his strong grasp Of the
public confidence and his splendid execu-
tive ability are marvels Of the age.
When Samuel ]. Tilden was elected to
the chair Of chief executive Of the nation
and defrauded therefrom, the name OF
Grover Cleveland was unknown to many
in the city Of Buffalo, New York, where
he lived. When Winfield Scott Hancock
bravely led the Democracy to battle
against the enemy In 1880, Grover Cleve.
land was doing excellent work rs mayor
Of Buffalo. But there was nothing to
indicate the remarkable career that was
ahead Of him. He had been most ex-
cellent municipal chief, as hundreds Of
others had been. When he c. me to the
rubernatorial chair In New York, his
keen, far-seeing craftsmanship began to
bloom where the public could see the
promise Of the flower. With little or no
acquaintance with the prominent men Of
his party, his name proved all powerful
at the Democratic national convention
in Chicago four years ago, and he dis
tanced In the race those who had won
their Democratic spurs In Cleyeland's q
boyhood.
His administration OF the Office OF
president has been marked by the same
signal success that characterized his en-
tire past career. His unerring selection
Of officials for places Of high trust, his
political sagacity, his boldness in uphold.

nouncing the wrong have made him the

past Fifty years.
And now the time has come around tC
place the verdict Of approval upon the
work Of this model president, this worthy
servant Of the people. From Maine tc
Florida, from Texas to Oregon comestht
cry for his denomination and re. e.election
Not voice is raised In opposition. Hi
political enemies point to his letter Of &C
ceptsnce advocating but one term for tn
president. So did Jackson assert, bu
the call OF his country found him no
shrinking from the task. Thus will it b
with Cleveland. Unanimously he will b

In relation to bicycles. The New York
Times notes that In Austria the tariff upon

the United States, speaking roughly, the
tariff adds $50 TO $40 to the cost of wheel.
And the Times asks; 'Ii Austria riders rebel

wheelmen rend the heavens at tho mere

Engineering NcpS has a carefully pre-.
pared article on tho actual status of the
Panama canal, which Ia aocompan led by
profile sketch showing the amount OF
work done TO January l, of the present
year. The only work near completion is
eleven miles OF dredging On the Atlantic
end, aud mile At the Pacific end. On the
rest OF the canal the proportion OF work
done IA very small In comparison with that
undone, and at the highest rate OF excava-
tion yot reached, II Ia estimated that at least
four years will be needed to finish the
canal The total amount OF cash actually eI-
pended up TO the present date Is Sl77, pl0, 600

The total amount necessary to be raised to

by reporter OF the Philadelphia Record
and gives very different account of the

milos have been finished on the Atlantic

only American engineer In the employ O,

with great but not insurmountable din

favorablsa to tho work now, and that the
canal az It will be first flushed, with ten
iron locks, will soon be deepened and
altered TO q sea Lowell canal. The canal will
not at first be deep enough for the larges
ocean steamships.

sic, and watch regiment of militia
march past, perhaps see sham battle
at some reunion, and then imagine
that they understand all about bat
tie. They forget to study the day after
the battle. when scenes are presented
not so pleasant to look upon, scenes
which show the dark side of war, and
call for courage of different type from
that displayed on the battlefield. 1
will draw one picture which is photo
graphed upon my brain, picture that
no painter can reproduce with brush.
During the battle of Spotsylvania, .
man was brought to our field hospital
with one arm torn away at the shoulder
and chest terribly lacerated. He was q
private soldier, but his dress and man
ners, even there on the battle field,
wounded and dying, showed the cul-
tured gentleman. He was man
of magnificent physique, broad
shouldered, heavy-set, and with
natural vitality that enabled him to
hang on to life for time where
nine men out of ten would have
died instantly from shock. With the
care and medical skill of large hos
pital, with perfect quiet and every
surgical appliance ut hand, there was
shadow of chance of carrying such q
case through successfully; but in the
field surrounded with wounded, in
crowded tents, each surgeon with over
two hundred wounded to attend to, the
hot sun pouring down upon the can
vas roofs, and, above all, the necessary
removal from the front over rough
roads to the distant base, made the
case hopeless one, and it was my
painful duty to inform him of our de-
cision. The man was o Christian SOL
der, and death had no terrors for him.,
A few messages to home and loved
ones. and earthly things seemed to be
dismissed from his mind. He fingered
for four days patiently awaiting DEATH.
not q murmur escaping his lips, when
gangrene set in and we had to place
him in little shelter tent, all alone
and some distance from the other
wounded. I visited him at frequent
intervals during the day and always
found him praying OF repeating por-
tions of Scripture. Once 1 offered him
drink Of whisky, but he declined,
saying: II want to be sober when I
meet my God" When the boys of to-
day try to picture the field Of battle,
they must remember that there were
dark, heart-rending scenes as we'll as
glorious, exciting charges.

1t was not long after this that the
pontoons were got under control again,
and fixed so that the army could cross,

After Hooker's order had been signaled

possible were made to oppose an attack
that did not come. That no attack was
made was. ! verify believe, terrible
mistake in General Lee. Probably he
did not know what caused our delay in

have been suspected? At least, those
who criticise Meade for similar hest

burg, would do we'll to go back two
months to the situation here described.
