THAT child can be convicted of fell
ony in this State, as was done in San Fran
cisco this week, and there be no other pro-
vision for him than the State Prison, or
the suspension Of sentence indefinitely, is
not pleasant reflection. OF course, had
the lad been sent to the State Prison for
the grand larceny he committed, he would
in due time emerge from that institution
an accomplished criminal. That is one of
the methods we employ in this State of
keeping up the supply of the outlaw class
by imprisoning the tyros in crime along
with the hardened offenders. In the case
in question the Court suspended sentence,
and hence one child may be saved from
prison contamination. We shall hope for
something better when the Preston Indus

RATHER a good hit that which the alta
makes on its rival, the Examiner. The
Alta had some pleasant commentary on a
japanese Prince who was to arrive on the
steamer due last Saturday. Not to be
outdore, the Examiner printed on Sunday
an elaborate interview with the Prince.
Unfortunately for its enterprise, the En-
anliner did not have some one look sharp
to the fact of the arrival of the steamer.
and as a consequence its paper went to
press four hours before the vessel arrived
in San Francisco bay, she having been de-
layed outside some hours. As a matter of
fact, at the very time the Eoamiaey man
stated that he was interviewing the Jap
anese Prince, his "Highness" was far at
sea, and wholly unaware of the existence
of such sheet as the Eraminer. And this
is the joke the Alta now gives away.

John Brown.

That which was to make of him figure
in the worlds history lay unnoticed and
mostly unknown in the quiet depths of his
soul. The deed of his life sprang from a
spirit as guileless, as pure, as true, and as
unselfsh as that of a child but it was per-
formed by man whose every fiber had
been steeled by the stern discipline of life,
and whose inner being was so absolutely
ruled by the categorical imperative that
his will could neither be broken nor bent.
Tender and soft as a girl who nestles in
her mothers lap, and yet every inch a
man; as ignorant of the power of actual
facts as a hermit in the desert, and at the
same time wonderfully fitted by nature
and training to seize the best chance at
first sight under the most difficult circum-
stances. and to accomplish the most with
the smallest means; illogical as child,
and yet following his own path as steadily
as the sun with a horror of fighting, and
yet offering up himself and his family in
an insane war against the whole nation !:
so tender-hearted that he stakes and loses
his own life and the life of his followers.
of his sons-in-law and sons, merely to save
few strangers from their anxiety lest the
train with their relatives should not
arrive at the right time, and at the same
time so terribly stern that he uncon-
ditionally approves horrible five-fold
murder; never excited to revenge even by
the worst injustice exercised towards him
self and toward those dearest to him, but
goaded on to such a rage by the wrong
done to the negro slaves that he recklessly
transgresses all positive law and only re-
cognizes as binding what he considers to
be Gods command-such is the portrait of
the first man who died by the hand of the
executioner for a political crime in the
United States.-Dr. Hermann Von Hoist.

signers of petitions, the weaker candidates
retiring. There is no encouragement of
candidates whose petitions show that they
have little chance of election. The men who
have signed, on finding themselves OUT
numbered, go over to the man of the party
belief who has the larger showing. The
contests usually narrow down to two
candidates representing distinct and differ
ent principles. There is, besides, pro-
vision against redundancy of candidates.
No mans name can be placed on the list
without his consent. If it is on the ticket
and he fails to receive oRe-ffth of the
total vote cast he is fined for his presump-

Banker Morgan,s Horses.

Edwin D. Morgan, the young million
aire banker, who has a large stock farm a
mile from Hampstead, l.. l., is in peck of
trouble. He has lately become something
of a sport, and early last week he gave
orders to his head hostier to have the tails
of thirty of his blooded horses ssdockedo
or banged" in the most approved dude
style. Mr.. Morgan has claimed dictinction
hitherto as rabbit courser and chaser of
the elusive anise-seed bag. He has also
essayed the task of riding polo ponies at
the Cedarhurst Jockey Club Track. He is
member of the club
The docking of the thirty horses tails is
what is likely to cause him trouble from
Mr.. Bergh's agents. The horses were
nearly all thoroughbreds, and were placed
in frame wise near the stables and each
in turn had its tail cut off short. The
animals were screwed up in the wise so
that they could not make movement
Any motion was impossible. Then the
knife was applied, and after the greater
part of the tail had been chopped off a red
hot iron was applied to the bleeding wound
to cauterize it. The poor animals screamed
one after the other as they were lead up to
the wise. The poor brutes seemed to real
ize what was in store for them, and each
in turn endeavored to escape before being
placed in the machine. All the horses are
now laid up, their wounds being still I'M
healed.

last night, promised that it should have

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM,
How IL Operates as Described by Resi-
dent of that Country.

An Australian, who is stopping at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, J. S. Morrison, con-
sented to-day to give reporter some
points about what is known as the Aus
tralian ballot system. The Australian
law is the basis of the Saxton reform bill,
and has been copied in Massachusetts,
where it is to have practical test. The
charges Of corruption during the recent
campaign have been SO prominent that at
tention has been turned promptly TO posi-
BILE remedies. Mr. Morrison was asked il
it was not possible to issue ballot similar
to that provided by the State, but already
| marked, so that the voter could be con-
trolled within party lines by the knowledge
of how he was voting. He replied:
There has been no such attempt made
with us, SO cannot say, except that il is
my judgment that it could not be done. If
the makeup of the ticket and the color of
the paper should get out an automatic reg
isteiing machine numbering each ballot as
given out would prevent the successful
issue of forged ballots You Americans
are very ingenious about such machinery,
aud should have no difficulty IN making
fraud of the kind you suggest an ALSO
