Mr.. Cleveland is even now the
central figure of American politics.
1t is utterly impossible to conduct a
political canvass in this country with
out the issue that he has raised. This
fact may again make him the nominee
Of his party, though we feel satisfied
that he would prefer some other man.
The logic OF the situation points more
and more to a western man for the
democratic nomination in 1892, bu,
v e that accomplished would not
belittle Grover Cleveland. Like Henry
Clay he preferred being right TO being
president, and as big as it is, the maj
who does SO is bigger than the
presidency.

THE LEXINGTON INIELI

"The p~enitentiary committee at 1ts
meeting tonight agreed TO recon-
mend q revision of the penitentiary
laws permitting the discharge OF con-
victs at the expiration of two-thirds OF
the time for which they we're sentenced
instead of three -iourths, as now. The
object of the committee in changing the
law is TO reduce the number of con-
victs and thus avoid the expense of
building a branch penitentiary." The
above is from the Republic of the 9th.
We can't see how the proposed amend
ment would do good in any direction.
The communication cannot properly be
to defeat the ends of justice by shorten
ing the time intended by the courts
and iuries to be served in prison. Ii
it was intended to do this it would be
unsuccessful, as the judges and Juries
would simply prolong the terms. In
deed it would be apt to more thai
| defeat itself, as the mere knowledge
that such a law vas on the statute
books would have the tendency to
uuduly increase the length OF sentences
The plan is not a good II to accom-
plish the purpose of emptying the
prison. The design OF the one-fourtl
communication is to offer an incentive
for good behavior. This is as well &C
complished by one-fourth as by one
third. Prison rules and regulation
are generally the outgrowth OF Ions
experience and observation, ant
changes in them should be very care
fully made, and only for good cause
The state of Missouri is better able t
provide for the care Of criminals thai
it is to attempt 10 empty them upo'
society in less time than is conteH
plated by the courts.

What a Pen VIII Do.

was talking with a treasury official on
the subject of forgery. did it ever occur
to YOU said the official, that forger has
half his work done when he can get hold Of
the identical pen with which the owner Of the
signature habitually writesl A great many
men, bank presidents and the like, use the
same pen for their names only for year or
two without change, A pen that has been
used by a man in writing his name hundreds
of times, and never used for anything else,
will almost write the name Of itself. 1t gets
imbued with the spirit Of the signature. In
the hands of fairly good foFger it will pre-
serve the characteristics Of the original The
reason for this is that the point of the pen
has been ground down ina peculiar way from
being used always by the same hand and for
the same combination Of letters 1t would
splutter If held at Il wrong angle or forced on
lines against its will It almost guides the
sensitive hand of the forger when he attempts
towrite the name Philadelphia Telegraph
