One of the queer effects of the NJ cKin-
ley tariff is that it will either make" or
break" the industries of the country.
1t has made many manufacturing estab-
ments-made them rich and profitable
at the expense of those who consume
their wares-and has also broke a con-
siderable number owing to the excessive
duties on the material which they manu-
factured into different commodities for
an existence. The iron business. es-
pecially, has suffered considerably on
account of the over-taxed raw material
used in this line of industry, and, as a
consequence, many firms have dropped
from life. Failure after failure was re-
corded for several months after the
Mckinley law went into effect, and occa-
sionally we hear of some even in this
late day of alleged protective prosperity
Last week one of the largest iron manu-
featuring firms in New England collapsed
because they could not buy their raw
material as cheaply as foreign producers,
and were, therefore. unable to compete
with them in the market. But still, after
all the populations the law has received

A REPORT was published in the city
papers yesterday stating that three
Russians arrived at New York and
were detained at the Barge Office be-
cause of violation of the contract
labor law, as they had come here to
work in the mines at Stockton, this
county. The story has not been veri-
fed but it would not require much
information to convince the public
that it is true. The fact is well
known that the majority of foreigners
in this State at present were brought
here by the coal corporations, but
why they should import these three,
when hundreds of men could be
gotten throughout the region to fill
any position that might be vacant
about the mines, is something that
cannot be very easily understood.

"Society and the Criminal was the
title of an address delivered last week
bv Hon. Richard Vaux, of Philadelphia
Mr.. Vaux, like many others who speak
on this subject, is of the opinion thai
the ruffled state of society is the cause Of
most crimes, and believes that present
conditions should be moderated, but
does not give any suggestions as to how
this should be done.
He said: Society is the habitat OF
crime. Naturally and necessarily so.
Association tends to liberate the action
of those who intend to prey on the per-
sonal rights and property of individuals.
Crime is an intention chrystallized into
fact. Motive, will and action are CO.
incident. The motive being the primary
agent it is important to ask the origin of
its existence. The motive originates a
deliberate purpose. 1t is the intention
to violate law, so well considered as to
define the consideration in the act, which
is crime. Whence is it that the motive
originates? The individual must of ne
cessity be under some mental influence
that tends to create the motive. This
suggests the consideration of the crime
cause.
"How is the criminal to be punished
unless it is to search back to the motive,
and apply correction that shall be
wise? Phe antecedents must be studied.
1t is more than likely that the facts at
tending the commission of the act would
be best understood from the antecedents
of the criminal. Crimes of the passions,
crimes OF education, crimes from inher-
ent causes and crimes from association
need special and diverse treatment.
This is the basis of philanthropic prison
discipline. Incarceration is only the
condition in which punishment can be
administered. Incarceration per Sc is
not punishment. The mental, physical
and moral characteristics of the criminal
must be investigated.
Mr.. Vaux told how crime had increas-
ed to startling proportions, and laid the
responsibility at the door of society it.
self, because of the mawkish sentimen-
tality of the general public and the So
called prison philanthropist. Continuing
he said: "a report by the clerk of the
Criminal Court, of Salem, Mass, stated
that one person in every 722 was a Grim
inal and prisoner. Criminals have in
creased since 1888 more than 50-fold-
from $50 criminals in that year to 44,90S
in 1890. From the last official report it
appears that out of 33, 300 persons COM
mitted last year, II ,667 were known as
recommitments a total of 15S had been
recommitted 80 times, and 397 persons
more than 80 times. These are the re-
suits of an entire change of system, a
system declared to be punitive and re-
formatory. In the wind of mere talk, in
the whirlwind of vociferous, ignorant
criticism, we must not look for the rem
edy, but in the still, small voice of intel.
ligent, thoroughly instructed, courageous
conscience of society.

THERE are two sides to the rain
making stories sent out from Texas.
George Edward Curtis, an assistant
in the Smithsonian Institution, Wash
ington, who was present at Dyren-
forth's Texas experiments, says that
only two -hundredths inches of
rain fell during three weeks of expert
ment, and the explosions had nothing
to do with the production of rain.
There were showers all over Texas on
the day the rain fell at the experiment
station. This is an almost complete
contradiction of previous reports on
the same experiments, and is of spe-
cial Importance, because Congress
will surely be asked to make a big
appropriation to continue experiments
in rain making in spite of the small
support such experiments receive
from meteorologists.

AT the meeting of the Republican
National Committee in Washington
on Monday it was decided to hold the
Presidential Convention on June 7, of
next year, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The selection Of this place was made
against large odds offered by various
other cities in the Union, but it was
done with the hope of pleasing the
people of the West and capturing the
vote of the Western States. One of
the notable events of the meeting was
the enthusiasm indulged in when
Secretary Blaine's name was men
toned in connection with the Presi-
dency, and it was intimated that if
the opinion of the convention should
be the same as that of the committee
the Plumed Knight would be nomi-
mated by acclamation. Senator QUAY
resigned from the chairmanship and
his place was taken by General Clark
son.

The Hazleton newspapers and many
prominent citizens are making a de-
termined fight to carry out the wishes
of the people of our neighboring
town, which they emphasized at the
last election, by declaring to have the
borough governed under city char.
ter, The measure was carried by
large majority, but, notwithstanding
this, it was declared invalid by a
member of the Town Council. The
opposition is based on mere techni-
callty-because q notice of the cleo
tion was not published in all the town
papers-and it is alleged that much
influence was brought to bear in the
matter by the saloon men of the town,
who have steadily opposed the city
charter act. However this may be
the majority of the Council has avowed
its purpose to have the charter issued
end sent committee to Harrisburg
on Monday to further that end.
They made q statement before the
Secretary of the Commonwealth, but,
as orly their side of the matter was
presented, a decision was reserved

A Tariff Reform OBJ ,ject.

The discovery of conspiracy by
which the Anchor Pottery at Trenton,
n. j., has during the past six years, been
robbed of goods to the amount of $780,
600, furnishes an object lesson in protec-
ton. Although the stealings have been
going on for long time, it is only re-
Gently that any suspicion of crookedness
was aroused. 1t is not claimed that the
discovery was due to any shrinkage in
the profits, therefore it is but natural
that, despite the extensive thefts, the
firm has steadily been making money.
The proprietor found out that some one
was underselling him in Philadelphia
with their own fine wares, and this is
what led to the investigation which dis
closed the conspiracy.
The estimate of the theft is placed at
from S75,0 900 to 100000. Take it at the
former figure and it represents a loss
annually of over $4,000. This seems
like very large sum for the invoice
clerk to get away with annually for over
five years without the slightest suspicion
being raised. But the proprietor was
probably satisfied with his large profits,
and the fact, that only when the thieves
became extremely bold was any crooked
ness suspected, goes to show how large
the profits must be. When $4,000 per
annum can be stolen from a large manu-
featuring establishment without it being
missed it is safe to assume that the pot
terry business is pretty profitable for an
infant industry which Mckinley was SO
anxious TO protect.

The present outlook is that the
third party movement will cut no
figure IN the next campaign. The
recent elections in the West have
shown a great collapse in the Far
mers' Alliance, and it nowhere assert.
ed itself potently, apart from the two
great parties. Its vote in Kansas,
which was supposed to be its great
stronghold, fell off tremendously this
year, and, so far as heard from. if
failed to carry single county. The
aggregation which styles itself the
Peoples Party polled a ridiculously
small number of votes where it had a
ticket in the field at all, and showed
no signs of vitality anywhere. The
chances are, therefore, that the next
great quadrennial election will witness
a square contest between the two
great parties, and nothing in the
shape Of side show, with the posi-.
BILE exception Of the cold water adyo,
Gates, who are likely to still cling to
their forlorn hope.

The "blue-line" street-car stopped at

young woman put small boy inside.

out to the platform again, don't lose that

''See here if you don't, I'll scare the
horses and make them run away" The
little boy cast an apprehensive look at the
belled horses, but shook his head.
"Here, Bub, I'll give you this peach if
you pull that note halfway out Of your
pocket"
The boy did not reply, but some Of the
older people looked angry.

The child turned awAv, as if he did not
wish to hear any more, but the young man
opened the bag and held it out just where
he could sec and smell the luscious fruit.
A look OF distress came into the sweet
little face; bslieye Rob was afraid to
trust himself and when a man left mis- seat
on the other side to get OF the car the lit
tie boy slid quickly down, left the tenpta-
ton behind, and climbed into the vacant
place.
A pair Of prettily gloved hands began al
most unconsciousiy to clap and then
every body capped and applauted until
it might have alarmed Rob. if young lady
sitting by had not slipped her arm around
him and said, with sweet glow on her
face
''Tell your mamma that we ali congrat-
