The Tin Mining Industry.

The owners of tin mines in South
Dakota will ask congress to put a
tariff on that metal in order to pro-
tect them against the low paid labor
in Cornwall. The miners in Dakota
are paid $3.50 and above a day,
whereas the Cornishmen get but sew
enty-fve cents per day. Tin mining
is as yet an infant industry in this
country, but promises to become one
of the leading products of the West.

Pope BOb's Views ON Crime and Crimi-
mails.


ALBANY, Jan. 22.-Before the ninth
annual convention of the State Bar
association Col. Robert G. Ingersoll
delivered an address upon the subject
off, Crime Against Criminals, Tin which
at the outset he demonstrated that
punishment by torture and death has
failed to abate crime. Grimes were
committed" he said, "to punish
crime, and crimes were committed to
prevent crimes. 1t is safe to say gov
ernments have committed far more
crimes than they have prevented. F"
Col. Ingersoll said he knew that dis
eases of the flesh and blood are trans
mitted from one generation to an
other. care diseases of the brain, de-
formities of the soul or mind also
transmitted asked he. II am per-
fectly satisfied that there are millions
of people incapable of committing GER
tain crimes, and it may be true that
there are millions more incapable of
practising certain virtues. Wedo not
blame a man because he is not d
sculptor, a poet, painter or states
man. We say he has not the genius.
Are we certain it does not require
genius to be good?"
Coming down to the question OF
what can bedone for the reformation
of the criminal, Col. Ingersoll said he
should be treated with kindness.
Every right should be given him con-
sistent with the safety of society. He
should neither be defrauded nor
robbed "Why should state take
without compensation the labor of
criminals, and why should they, after
having been imprisoned for years, be
turned out without means OF sup
port ?" asked the speaker. "Would
it not be far better to pay these men
for their labor, lay aside their earn
ings, put this money at interest SO
that when convict is released he will
haveno merely enough money to pay
his way back to the place from which
he was sent, but enough to keep the
wolf of crime from the door OF his
heart ?" Referring to thequestion OF
what shall be done with hardened or
habitual criminals. the speaker said
Put 1000 hardened thieves on an
island, compel them to produce what
they eat and use, and [ am almost
certain large majority would be OPP
posed to theft. Such community
would be self-supporting. Keep the
sexes absolutely apart. Those who
are beyond the power of reformation
should not have the liberty to repro
duce themselves. They should dwell
apart, and, dying, leaveno heirs. The
death penalty inflicted by govern
ment is a perpetual excuse for MODS.
The greatest danger in a republic is
the mob, and as long as states inflict
the death penalty mobs will follow
their example. If we are to change
the conduct of men we must change
their conditions Extreme poverty
and crime 60 hand in hand. Tene-
ments and flats and rented lands are,
in my Judgment, enemies of civiliza-
ton. They put a few in palaces and
many in prisons
In closing Col. Ingersoll said zig
norance, filth and poverty are mis-
sionaries of crime. AS long as dishon-
orablesuccess outranks honest effort,
as long as society bows and cringes
before great thieves, there will be lit
tie ones enough to fill the jails."

a RevoIution in switzerIand.

The little hamlet OF Crawford Cor

sensational elopement of Miss Lizzie Ben

Thursday The elopement of itself would

Bennett was engaged TO Mr.. Frederick
Monroe, and was 10 have been married TO
him yesterday afternoon.
Miss Bennett is comcly young maiden
Of about 10 summers She is Of medium
stature and OF fair complexion, and Is
the belle Of the village. About year ago
she made the acquaintance OF young Mon
roe, who lived near by. In q short time
their engagement was announced Had
they been married all would probably have
well, for it was at this time that voorhees,,
who had previously been silent adnirer
Of Miss Bennett began paying her marked
attention. Monroe did not like this, and
II is said the rivals had words together and
even blows.
At the hour fixed for the wedding yes
terday the officiating clergyman was
awaiting the arrival of the bride and
groom at the home of the brido's parents
Monroe was among the first OF the arrivals
and shortly before the time set for the
ceremony went upstairs 70 escort his
prospective bride into the presence of the
clergyman. She was not in her room, and
it was not until an hour later that he
learned that she had been married 70 Foor-

The newly married couple are supposed
to be in New York.
