HABITUAL criminals will fare hard in IL
linois from this time forth. Under a new
law, two men found guilty Of robbery, it
being their third conviction for the same
offense, have been sentenced to 'imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for the term of
natural lives" The Habitual Criminal Act
is based on the principle that the incorrigi-
BILE criminal who has refused to reform
when two chances have given him should
be punished most severely.

THERE is hope that the hiatus to Canada
of forgers, embezzlers and thieves general
ly from this side of the line is nearly at an
end; at least that there will be no more
safety from arrest if they do flee there than
there is here. Secretary Blaine and Min
lister Pauncefote have negotiated treaty
by which the number of cxtraditable Of
fences is largely increased and there is lit
tie doubt that it will speedily be confirmed
by the Senate and go into immediate ef-
feet.
THE decision of the Ohio Supreme Court
that the amendments voted for at the fall
election, were lost fixes Governor elect
CampbelPs term at two years instead OF
four, and gives the Buckeye Republicans
only two years to harmonize their differ
ences and get together, if they would re-
cover lost ground.

better roads which may have suggestion
for other communities. 1t is estimated
that the county spends $7e; 900 year
without obtaining good roads. 1t is pro-
posed therefore that 81 100000 shall be
borrowed for forty years at 4 per cent. in
terest, and the principal spent in macada-
mixing the roads; $4,000 yearly to pay
the interest and $40, 900 yearly for a sink

THE american Cultirator suggests that
managers of County Agricultural fairs
should offer premiums to the road districts
that keep the best roads or make the great
est improvements at the smallest expense.
And the Philadelphia Record adds: The
suggestion is an excellent one. Good roads
are common blessing, and more than
any other single agency increase the gen.
eral comfort and wealth. If self-interest
fails to teach this lesson, it might be
brought home to our agricultural brethren
bv such an effort to incite friendly rivalry.

TIE car stove is not "going' with that
celerity that was expected or that people
who do much travelling could wish. The
Pennsylvania Company has spent $4,000
in experimenting in systems of heating by
steam, but none so far have given the sat-
isfaction of the much abused car stove.
Their objections to steam heating, how
ever, are not unanswerable. They admit
that it works all right on short trains, but
when ten or twelve coaches are in train
the heat cannot be so well difused and
with so heavy train the locomotive needs
all the steam it can produce to haul its
load up the grades, when the cars rapidly
cool. 1t would seem that these difficulties
could be met by using short trains all the
time, or having the large trains drawn by
locomotives with greater steam producing
capacity. Whenever the Pennsylvania
Company really wants to solve the ques-
ton Of steam heating its cars it will find
way to do it.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Our Brazilian correspondent has an
other letter this week, which will be
found full of interest by all who are
watching affairs in that country, and
they comprise great majority of our
readers.
The full bench of the New Hampshire
supreme court has decided that the
nuisance act of the last legislature,
providing for closing by injunction
places where liquor is Illegally sold OF
kept for sale, is constitutional.
The ravages of the grip, the late
arrival of news matter and the unusual
demands on our space this week have
necessitated the putting-over till next
week of several patches of town cor
respondence that we should have been
glad to find room for this.

FEEDING FOR CREAM AND FOR BEEF

A Middlebury man recently wrote
Prof. Cooke, director of the agricultural
station at Burlington, for information.
The question and answer follow
Question-During one of the ESSAYS
that was read at the meeting OF the .,o,sr,l
of Agriculture at Middlebury, hint was
dropped that unless the right ration of
grain was given the results would not be
satisfactory. Please send me your grain
ration for producing the most satisfac-
tory results for making cream for butter,
also for making beef!
Answer.-I can give you what | feed
myself, that is, six pounds grain per day,
and what coarse fodder they will eat.
Grain at the present prices can be econ
omically made from three pounds bran,
middlngs or ground oats, or any combi-
nation or proportion of these and three
pounds of corn meal, gluten neal and
cotton seed meal. any combination that
does not have over one and IA half pounds
cotton seed. For coarse fodder | prefer
some succulent fodder, such as ensilage
or roots, to furnish one third of the dry
matter of coarse fodder and hay and corn
for the rest

"IRAMP's" MOLE BOOK.

This is the title of small volume just
issued from the REGISTER office. Though
we may not agree with the author in ali
his advanced ideas, yet he has given the
public many new things to think and
talk about. The design of the work is
suggestive rather than exhaustive. The
book is so very odd in its makeup, and
striking in its conclusions, that it is well
worth its price as curiosity. In giving
it our endorsement we will say tina, its
moral tone is good, while the appendix
contains probably the very best treatise
on the culture and care of fruit and orna-
mental trees, vines and shrubs that could
be given in so small space.

MIODLEeURY VILLAGE MEETING.

The annual meeting of the voters of
this village, Wednesday afternoon, drew
out the largest crowd that has assembled
on a similar occasion for years. The
collectorship was the chief thing that
stirred them up. 1t was holiday, too,
and many had nothing else to do. Clerk
Henry l.. Sheldon, Collector Munroe and
Treasurer Pinney were reelected; DIR.
Russell was made health officer and Mr..
Beckwith auditor, and these trustees
were chosen: L. F. Farnsworth, G. A.
Piper, E. II. Thorp, c. M. Wilds, B. B.
Hope, Oliver Severance and John l.. But
tolph. The tax levied is eight cents on
the dollar of the grand list.
Clerk Sheldon called the meeting to
order, and read the warning. C. M.
Wilds was elected moderator and Mr..
Sheldon clerk.
The first matters taken up were the re-
ports. That of the auditor had been
printed and seemed to be understood, as
no questions were asked. 1t showed that
the orders drawn through the year
amounted to S306377. There are out
standing orders to the amount of Sl24O.-
So; the estimated expenses of the CON-
ing year are Sl695, making S2935.55 to
be provided for. The cash in the treas
ury is S97. .26. and $3.50 take are due on
the list of 1888, and $l74l.52 on the list
of 18s9-making the total assets $22SS.7S,
and leaving s646.77 to be raised by tax.
Judge Slade of the board of trustees
read their report, in which the work of
the past year in the several departments
was reviewed. The rains made neces-
sary large expenditures on the roads for
repairs, so that the money laid out does
not show for as much as it otherwise
would. Concrete should be laid on either
side the creek bridge. We need better
sidewalks, and individuals can accom-
plish much by attending to those oppo-
site their premises. The bad weather
and the large sums required for the high
ways had prevented the laying of as
much sidewalk as had been planned. In
the matter of sewers substantial progress
had been made, notably near the college
boarding house and in the ravine east of
Mr.. Tupper's house. Much still needs
