The man who does not advertise.

And half his goods are still on shelf,

CRIMINAL REFORM.
Changes of methods Recommended fer fha Reform alton of Criminals.

Changes of Methods Recommended
 fer the Reformation of Criminals.
 BOSTON, July 17.-At tue evening session of the National Prison Reform association the report of the standing committee on criminal law reform was presented signed by Prof Francis Wayland of New Haven, Frank B. Sandborn of the Massachusetts charities and z. R. Broadway, superintendent of the Elmira, N. Y., reformatory. The report took the ground that the present traditional meth cd of punishing crime is an antique absurd- ity and that the time has come to substitute for it mora rational method. Actual crime is too often the result of actual hereditary causes for us to ignore the antecedent factors. We must make allowance for these fatal pro- clivities and must have our prison treatment remedial and reconstructive far more than vindictive. Indeterminate or even indetermi- nable sentences should apply to all of those offenders for whom circumstances or antsce dents are pleaded in mitigation of their pen, alty. The report said that the time had come for change so that the presumption of innocence should not have the feroe | it has had hitherto. In the cases of ha' l bitual criminals there ought to be rather a strong suspicion of guilt. The etemporizine half and halt measures of our courts ofteI

whisky rather than destroy the industries of the country. The gentlemen on the other side drew parallel between free blankets and free whisky, but not between free sugar and free whisky. They did not state that the bill placed ffty-five articles on the free list which were produced north of Mason and Dixen's line, while they maintained an average duty of seventy-fve per cent. on the southern products.
 Mr. Mason, of Illinois said that the nervous anxiety of the gentlemen on the other side for fear the country might have free whiskey was very amusing to people who had studied the history and habits of the Democrats. (Groans on the Democratic side) He advis- ed the gentlemen from New York (Cox) if he did not want to lose the solid support he had in his own district not to state that the Re publican party was in favor of free whiskey.
 MT. Cox-My constituents brink beer; how much beer was drunk in Chicago?
 MT. Mason admitted that great deal of beer had been drunk there, but added that the same was true at St. Louis. Continuing, he said that his side was getting weary on hearing this talk about free whiskey. Daughter and applause on the Democratic side.) If Democrats believed that the Re publioans were in favor of free whiskey, every man on that side would move over to the Republican side. (Cries of 'Oh, not" on the Democratic side.)
 MT. Mason-Oh, yes you would. Walk up the aisle and smell your breath. He charged that in this bill the Democrats had opened the way to collision between whiskey makers. The party that declared for free whiskey would carry every Democratic State, and among the first to come would be the courts eous gentleman from New York.
 MT. Buchanan asked for information as to what countries had treaties which would be affected by the thirty-ffth section of the bill providing that the bill shall not conflict with existing treaties, and receiving nc reply he moved to strike out the section. The motion was lost.
 MT. Adams, of Illinois, and Mr. Butter worth. of Ohio, critised as opening way for the invasion of the payment of the whisky the Treasury in his discretion to allow distil- leries mashing less than twenty-five bushels of grain day to be operated without store~ keepers and gaugers.
 Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, pointed out that the whole matter was left to the dis cretion of the Secretary of the Treasury.
 MT. Butterworth moved to strike out the clause to which he had objected, and his motion was advocated by MT. Bayne, who argued that the clause meant free whisky; lost, 73 to 96.
 MT. Lawler offered an amendment to abol- ish the tax on oleomargarine; rejected, to 101.
 The last section of the bill was then read and on motion of MT. Bynum, of Indiana, the date upon which the bill shall go into eff feet was fixed as October 1, 1888.
 The committee then rose. A few para graphs of the bill have been passed and their consideration will be proceeded with to-mor- row. The vote on the final passage of the bill will be taken Saturday at 11:30. The House at 5 o'clock took recess until 8 o'clock

 DANBURY, Conn.,, July N.-Widespread excitement prevails here tonight over one of the most dastardly acts of incendiarism known in the history of the town. At 8 o'clock this morning the dwelling house No. IA South street, occupied by William Foster, superintendent of the Danbury and Bethel horse railway, and filled with occupants, was found to be enveloped in flames. Subse- quently it was discovered that the house had been saturated with kerosene in some fifteen places on the outside and set on fire, torch having evidently been applied to all places saturated at the same time. There were nine persons in the house asleep at the time the fire was discovered and no noise was heard by the sleep ing inmates, who had miracu. lous escape from death. There Is no clue discovered that will lead to the arrest of the scoundrels who committed the act, but every effort is being made by the police and detective force to bring the frebugs to jus tice. The act was doubtless that of persons well acquainted with the premises. Incen- diary fires here of late have been more numer- ous than ever,
