NOT SEVERE ENOUGH.
The Sentence of Mrs. Montagu Universally
 Condemned.

COndemnedo
 LONDON, April 6. There is universal condemnation of the sentence of Mrs. Montagu as too lenient. They compare her case with that of Fan nie Cane, the poor girl who was convict ed and sentenced to death on the charge of having strangled her infant, although there was no convincing proof that she intended to cause the death of her babe, and although, if she did, she was pre- sumably insane at the time with her suf- ferings.
 The sentence of Fannie Cane has been commuted to imprisonment for life, but this is everywhere declared to be mon strous severity, whereas Mrs. Montagu, who. caused the death of her child by deliberate cruelty, is let off with one years imprisonment.
 It is claimed that this inequality of treatment in the case of the poor, friend less girl, and the wealthy wife of Lord Montagu's son is calculated to lessen respect for the law, and to create feel ing that justice is not impartially ad- ministered
 It is argued that it is high time for a popular movement to enforce the equal ity of all before the law. There is a de- mand on the part of the press for the ap- pointment of a permanent guardian fol the remaining children of Mrs. Montagu, and that the mother should be set aside so far as personal care and control oi the children are concerned.

THE New York court of appeals has decided, that while a married woman has a right to contract with other per- sons than her husband for personal ser- vice, and can claim as her own the re- muneration received for such service, any service she renders her husband, even in the carrying on of his business, belongs to him. The case was one where the wife of tailor who assisted him in his work sued for damages sus- tained by falling into coal hole. The court held that the suit should be brought by the husband, as the time lost was his.

Some fancy the charms of the lily white

 Of etherial form andilanguishing eye, Who faints in the sunshine and droops

 And is always "just ready to die.' But give me the girl of the sunshiny

 The blood in whose veins courses
 healthy and free, With the vigor of youth in her move

 Oh, thGt is the maiden for me! She is the girl to ''tie to" for life.

MRS HUTcHINs, the New Jersey widow, whose husband five years ago left his entire estate of $3O, ,OOO to Henry George for his Progress and Poverty" propaganda, is now a pauper and an i'm mate of an almshouse. MT Georges net share of the Jarndyce-like proceeding was $5sO-for the possession of which he is still suing his own attorney. All the rest of the money went for law. A more remorseless instance of progress and poverty, for all hands concerned save the lawyers, is not recorded in the annals of litigation; and it should prompt MT George to write a supple mentary treatise to show that existing social conditions, after all, are not de- void of their benignant phases-at least towards members of the bar.

COMPLAINT is made that the new members of congress quote too much poetry and indulge too extensively in sophomoric word-painting when they speak.

THE question of sewage disposal is one that must be met fairly and squarely by the people of Waterbury within the next few years. Something will have to be done to prevent further pollution of the Naugatuck river, and it is per haps as well to begin the study of the problem now, in order that there will be no unnecessary delay should the suit of the Platt Mill company be decided against the city. But it is entirely un- necessary, in our opinion, to send the city engineer on tour of the country in search of information, at this stage of the game. And it is discourteous, to say the least, for the republican mem- bers of the court of common council, to invade the territory of the sewer com missioners and attempt to take out of their hands the work for the perform ance of which the board was created. The sewer commissioners ought to be, and undoubtedly are, able and willing to furnish the information desired by the council. Exhaustive reports made by engineers and sewer commissioners all over the country may be had for the asking.

Engine 1874, "Tony" Harkins. of
Mauch Chunk, engineer, and James A,
Beever, of Franklin, conductor, were
shifting cars in the Packerton yard at
half past five o'clock Friday morning
when, according TO one story, a freight

General Ulysses s. Grant, under the firm
name of Grant & Ward. Those black days,
beginning with May o, 1884, when it was
announced that the great firm Of Grant h
Ward had gone down and that the Marine
bank had closed its doors as a consequence,
are too recent 10 be entirely forgotten.
The liabilities of the firm were Sl4, ,OOO, 600,
with nothing left with which to gay them.
BY posing as big lender of money Ferdi-
nand Ward the thirty-year-old son Of a
Baptist minister had obtained great blocks
Of stocks and bonds, always exacting twice
As much collateral as he loaned money.
Then he pressed the collateral for all he
could get, paid ruinous rates of interest and
invested in all kinds Of wildcat schemes,
with President Fish, of the Marine bank, as
silent partner.
Ward finally came to the end of his rope
and the crash followed. He was arrested
and bis trial occurred in the following Oc-
tober General Tracy, now secretary Of
the navy, defended him, and after three
days fight he stood before Judge Barrett,
on Oct. 81, and received a sentence of ten
years at hard labor in Sing Sing. He was
brought here the next day and put to work
cleaning castings in the stove department.
From there he was removed to the print
ing office, which he was the first to con.
duct, and printed labels. He had worked
at the trade when boy, and soon learned
to do good work. Since then he has done
all the printing for the prison, besides keep
