izing, or bridges to be built or re-
paired for the convenience and safety
of business traffic, or school houses,
court houses and jails to be con-
structed, or rotting wharves to be
renewed. So to carry out logically
the Bulletins position, all expendi-
lures on Band, Palace, Squares and
fifty other matters of luxury, should
be cut off, and kept cut off.
Now this kind of talk is not rea-
sonable or tenable We have got to
use common sense, and allow our
selves a great many things that con-
tribute to the cheer of body and
mind, even though we are under no
absolute or even urgent necessity for
possessing them. In fact, outside Of
very narrow limits, this matter of ne
cessity is mainly relative. A tele-
phone is a necessity to us now; it
was once luxury we hardly felt JUS
titled in indulging in. Four-fifths
of our water supply is really for pur-
poses of luxury. Nobody actually
needs to keep up spacious green
lawn. But it is a very nice thing to
have, and we should all cry out upon
the Government if it did not keep
expanding twenty or thirty thousand
dollars every year or two to enlarge
our luxurious water works.
Now we ask the small expenditure
Of $4,000 for road to a tract of one
hundred acres of lovely park in the
heart of the city, which is now q
great deal more inaccessible than il
it was an island outside the bell
buoy. In the center of the city, and
absolutely no road to it Think OF
it One hundred acres of delightful
area, environed by twenty-five hun
dred more OF rocky ridge and slope
and we are told that road just tc
open up this great central tract is 6
luxury, and must not be thought Of
at present. Why, if there were an
other twenty acres within mile o.
the Post Office, without a street
touching any part of it, we think the
Bulletin would cry out against {
Government that did not supply
such an absolute necessity. The
very marshes of Kewalo have roads
through them, while our magnificent
and wonderful Puowaina lies ne
elected by our unappreciative Cit
zens. We foresee only one trouble
As soon as the $4,000 is spent anc
the people begin to drive up an6
taste the beauty and glory Of the new
park everybody will be clamoring fol
further expenditures.
After all, and Independently Of the
above considerations, there seems tt
be one simple and sufficient answer
to all the objections that have beer
raised. The decision as to what pub
lie works shall be undertaken, anC
the amount which may be expended
on them rests with the Legislature
That body after very full discussions
on several occasions, authorized the
road and appropriated the money
Even if the road is not built, this
money cannot, under the law, be
made available for other purposes
Even if we forego the Punch
bowl luxury, SO called, we shall MOI
thereby get a single additional
bridge, or another yard of gooc
street, or be able to hire so much as
one more school teacher. So we &C

YOUNGEST CONVICT ON RECORD.
TweIve-Year-Old sinnvflIe Combs Serving a
Life Sentence in Kentucky.

FRANKFORT, KY, July % .-Sinnville
Combs, probably the youngest convict in
any prison in the United States, has
served the first year of a life sentence.
When sent up from Breathitt county last
July he was eleven years old, and small
for the age. Prison life has tOUghened
him, both morally and physically.
Young Combs committed q crime
that was fendish, but he does
not deserve the heavy punishment
that has been inflicted on him. He killed
his tWO-yeaT- sister in q brutal man
ner. The two were in the house together
alone When the little tot started to
crawl across the floor the boy picked up d
stove lid and mashed her skull with it.
He then threw the body in the fireplace,
intending to burn it This process of
cremation was too slow, and he pulled it
out and carried it to a small
stream near the house, throwing it
in. When the little ones body was
found Sinville admitted killing her He
was arrested and tried. On the stand >,
when asked why he had committed the
crime, he stated that his stepfather had
told him to do il and had promised him q
new pair of boots. There was no other
evidence against the stepfather, and as
the boy was a confessed murderer his
testimony could not have weight.
There was but little doubt that
young Combs had told the truth,
yet there was no law to punish the
father, so the boy suffers. Many efforts
have been made 10 have the governor
pardon him, but thus far he has failed to
act. When first sent up young Combs
had never heard of God, knew nothing
of heaven or hell and had never seen a
schOOlhouse. He can now read and write
and talks like a very bright, intelligent
boy He does not seem to care for his
imprisonment.

The duck shooting season on the Sus-
quehanna so far has been failure. The
fowl are scarce and high water has pre-
vented good shooting. So discouraged
have some Of the hunters become that
they have tied up their boats and gone
into other employment. Good judges
say that the big floods Of last May and
June covered the flats with sand and
debris and killed the growth Of the water
celery, upon which the canvas backs and
red heads feed and from which they get
their peculiar delicacy. Undoubtedly
the greatest cause of the falling of Of
the supply of ducks is due to the
thoroughness with which they have
been killed in recent years There is a
probability of movement to close the
season for a year ortwo SO as to give
them time to recuperate, but Il is doubt
ful If IL viii succeed because Of the prac
tical politics that would be exercised tC

ment is an absurdity on. the face. But that
does not prevent the run-mad protection
ist from considering the demand along
with the demands of the copper, iron,

prevent them from considering the
equally urgent and impudent demands Of
the marble quarries, the pottery makers,
the glass makers. paint makers and many
other similar industries for which nature
provides the material The men engaged
in these mines are notoriously alien,
squalid and criminal They are brought
to this country because they win work
cheaper than the natives of the
United States They get a lower
average Of wages, aud work fewer days
than any other class Of laborers. They
live far worse than the poorest Of
negroes who work in unprotected in
dustries and exchange the product Of
their work at free trade prices for pro
teeted goods. Hence the only claim that
these industries have on the country
for support is the claim Of impudence, Of
wealth and Of fraud They are not manu-
facturers. They dig wealth out Of the
ground, pay the poorest possible wages
to the most wretchcdly poor laborers
IN the country and then demand that
the whole people.shall pay them tribute
for engaging in the work. The silver men
demand that the government shall be-
