Rev. Reed on Prison Reform.

The theology of the middle ages had its
influence upon jurisprudence. The faith
or the church constructed the penal code.
When men believed that God subjected the
offender to the tortures of a never ending
hell it was only natural that they as servants
and coworkers with Hin should rack their
ingenuity in tormenting the poor criminal
doomed to eternal torments after death.
Punishment was regarded as vindictive and
retrbutve. With change in theology and
the faith of the church has come a change
in prison discipline. The central truth of
the gospel theology of to-day is that all
Gods punishments are reformatOry. There
is nothing vindictve about the Almighty
AS Divine Father he chaStens that He may
restore. Stress is no longer placed upon the
judicial aspect of the atOnement of Christ,
but upon the remedial. With this change
in theology has come the humanitarian
principle of reform for the criminal classes,
and not determination. The factors in such
great and desirable work are. Hope, So
cety. Education. Labor and Christianity
of love. sympathy, encouragement and
grace.-Anoka Herald.

The Doodle Alderman Trials.

There will probably be 10 more trials.
that is, judicial trials, of Doodle aldermen.
The acQuittal of Kerr, who is undoubtedly
as guilty as any of them. has convinced the
general public that it is not worth while
making any more costly experiments in
that direction.
The success of Col. Fellows in obtaining
convictions of this class of criminals has
never been equalled, except perhaps in the
case of that sanguine little boy who ex-
pected to have three fish, when the one that
was then nibbling and two more had Seen
hooked.
There are many different kinds of fish
in the New Y Ork pond, but it is only the
small fry that has the bad luck to get
caught. 1t is really astonishing with what
perfect ease the young tiedglings. who fig
ure as assistant district attorneys. land the
pickpocket, the burglar, or any of the lesser
criminals. Before they know what's up.
they are dangling in the air, and when they
come to their senses they are safe in Sing
Sing. 1t often happens that a dozen unim-
pOrtant criminals are railrUaded in single
day to that very charming resort Oh the
Hudson.
But how different it is when some such
prominent character as Jake Sharpe, Maui
rice B. Flynn. the aqueduct contractor, or
any of the Doodle aldermen are tried
Even the grand jury that indicts them
goes at the business very gngerly. The
judges become circumspect. A formidable
array of counsel awes the jury-when one
is finally selected, proceeding that takes
weeks and even months until twelve semi
imbeciles can be secured for the purpose of
either disagreeing or bringing a verdict of
not guilty.
And when the farce is over what shouts
of triumph ascend from the Threats of the
friends of the vindcated t?) thief.
Such trials demonstrate that there are two
distinct kinds of justice dealt out in the
New York courts. To the poor and friend
less the Goddess of Justice presents the ter
rifying aspect of all enraged mother-in-la law.
To the rich and influential criminal she is
more kind. Her relations to him are of an
entirely different character.
It is this mockery of justice that breeds
anarchists. Texas Siftings.

Crime and It's Treatment.

Time was when folks afflicted with disease
were put out Of the way, not as Bergh's
men kindly kill a disabled animal to merci-
fully end its distress, but because deemed
unfit to live. Now the browning glory Of
our century is its magnificent hospitals.
Time will be when our prisons, the disgrace
of this grand age. will be changed to hu-
manitarian institutions for the control and
cure of crime. instead of pest places for its
punishment and propagation.
Statesmen and refOrmers are beginning to
consider that our system of society is really
accountable for more crime than it prevents.
Judges and juries are frequently called upon
to condemn unfortunate creatures of cir
cumstanceS less guilty of offense against
their fellows than those before whom they
are arraigned. Did all wrong doors escape
detection. as doubtless the majority do there
would be no criminals known: while if the
cOnsciences OF men were incased in glass
all would be criminals alike. There would
be no honest men to bring the guilty to JUS
tice. Let all who read reflect upon this
lie who rObs you wrongs himself worse
than you. You may recover your property
or purchase more, but he has corrupted his
conscience, ruined his reputation, assassin
ated his manhood. He has inflicted upon
himself misfortune. while you have but
sustained a pecuniary and perchance a tri-
fling loss.-S. H. Preston in Journal of
Health
