Looking ON the Bright Side.

Uncle Billy Dawson, who lived in the
house where Mr.. Crounse was reared q
kind-hearted man, who never lost q
to hold out hope to the Departing chance
or sympathy to the suffering. He was al
ways ready with the proof that however
hard neighbours lot was, it might have
been many fold worse; and his ingenuity
at finding recompensing gain for every
loss that one might suffer was matter
of local wonderment.
One day somebody told Uncle Billy
that his neighbor, Thomas Darrow, had
fallen under the cars and lost a leg.
Uncle Billy stood in silence several
minutes, looking at the ground. Then,
raising his eyes, he said:
We'll, I'm awful sorry for poor Tom,
but there's some consolation il the
thought that pair O. socks IL last him
twice as long as they ust to, and to a
man as poor as he is that's good
DEAL"
The next day Uncle Billy called on
the injured man, and to his surprise
learned that Tom had lost both legs. A
little disconnected, Uncle Billy stood by
the bed in solemn consideration. Pres
entity, however, his face frightened, and
he said:
"Well, Tom, if you had to lose one
leg it's mighty good job that you lost
two"
"Oh, Uncle Billy" said Tom, chow
can you say such thing?"
"'Cause it's truo, Tom, true as Cos
pill. You see if you'd only lost one leg
you'd be thinkin' about it and worritin'
about it all the time, but now you see,
the loss of each one IL serve to keep
your mind off'n the loss of sthe other.
It's great blessin' you lost 'em both,
stead O. only one.'

Better Than Killing the Murderers.


It may now be asked what form Of
punishment should be substituted for
the death penalty. 1t is not necessary
to my purpose in writing this article
that l should touch that subject ut all.
This article is written mainly for the
purpose of protesting against the crime
of capital punishment, aud not for the
purpose of explaining what can or
should be substituted for it. 1t will not,
however, be out of place to say that the
most natural substitute for the death
penalty, under our form of government,
would be imprisonment for term suf-
ficiently long to demonstrate that the
offender might be safely allowed to go
free. 1t is Just as vicious, of course. to
imprison man for revenge, as to hang
him for revenge. There is therefore,
no sound reason why murderer should
be punished at all. 1t is right that he
should be apprehended and confined
until it is determined whether he is
of such q nature or disposition as
to be likely to commit more murd-
ers. But if this view of the case is
too nearly in accordance with humane
considerations to suit this cruel and
bloodthirsty age, then the obvious mode
of punishment to substitute for judicial
killing is imprisonment at hard labor
for life. This is Gar too cruel punish
ment to visit upon anyone for any crime
done under the impulse Of passion, but
among q people who so frequently say !:
Hanging is too good for him, and who
are SO given to lynchings, it is as much
of q modification of our present practice
as we could expect to get.
1t has been observed that the most of
the murders occur among the poor
people, and upon the top floors of tene-
ment houses; that is to say, among the
poorest of the poor. The connection
between poverty and the crime Of
murder, like the connection between
poverty and all other crime, is demon
strab'y close. If we could cure the
social disease of poverty, the seeds Of
crime would be destroyed. The people
rarely think of this. They think it is
our business to punish crime; but it is
our best business to prevent it. Our
present organization OF society manu-
factures criminals faster than we can
possibly take care OF them. Poverty
degrades men; it robs them of leisure,
which is absolutely necessary for the
development of mind, and the domina-
tion of passion; it keeps the people
hungry and fierce; it imbrutes them; il

way Mr.. Pentacost started a running

entire evening by attacking the ~favorire
theory Of the single tax advocates. He
argued that a single tax would not abol-
ish paper titles and consequently could
not free the land.
He was answered by the chairman and
Messrs. Miller, jackson, Britton and 9TH

thought it would produce that which all

accomplish, the entire freedom OF the

presence and an invitation to rep eat his
