THE ALDERMEN.

The 1892 Board of Aldermen finished
its career yesterday, without taking any
action that made its last meeting espec-
tally notable.
Action upon the public market pro-
posal was deferred to next year, the
petitioner for leave to erect such build
ing over the space between Crawford
street bridge and Market square
was given leave TO withdraw and
the board taking the initial step looking
toward consideration of the matter by
the City Council without the interven-
tion of any private party.
This matter of n public market is of
considerable Importance, especially in
view of the fact that it seems TO be in
some circles taken for granted that such
building would be located over the
river
Doubtless "A public market, properly
conducted, would be a public benefit,
but the proposition to locate it over the
river is open to objections of such grav-
ity as ought TO effectuaily estop the
scheme, unless they can be wholly re-
moved
IL will be found 20 be especially diff
cult to conduct market directly over
the big sewer, which the river is and
will remain, without subjecting the
food kept in it to taint. However care
fully the building may be constructed
its doors and windows must be open.
and it would be impregnated with the
foul gas and noxious odors from the
river.
1t is necessary to show the public that
this is not fact before such market
as is proposed ought even to be con-
sidered by the City Council, and it is
not easy to conceive how it can be
shown.
The other interesting item Of. busi-
ness was the reception of letter from
Mr.. Henry G. Clark protesting against
the pensioning of the fremen and the
police. The letter itself was scarcely of
o Nhtio'Nti W aNiidtb very COLI
sideration, especially as the proposition
is not to pension all firemen and police
after certain period of service, or at a
certain age, but merely to take partial
care of such as are disabled in the course
of the discharge of their duty in pro-
tecting the citizens from fire and crime.
Such u course is not only perfectly |
lustifiable for city to pursue, but is
adopted by some corporations and
private employers of labor, always with
the strong approval of the public. II is
a step toward justice as between en-
ployer and employe, or between capital
and labor, and IL is eminently proper
hat this city should lend its assistance
20 the general adoption of the principle
L illustrates.
The aldermen did not fail to speed the
who were not reelected. and

The Inquest Into The Cause of The Ex-

The inquest which has been In progress
by Coroner Brennan of Valley Falls for
the last three days. to determine who, il
anyone, was responsible for the boiler
explosion at the Perkins Rhode Island
Horse Shoe Works on the 10Th inst. by
which Nelson Goodson lost his life, was
concluded yesterday. None Of the wit
nesses examined could throw any light
upon the matter. and the cause of the
explosion is likely to remain AS much a
mystery as ever. In all nineteen wit
nesses were examined.
General Manager Perkins Of the com.
pany testified that the engineers were
capable men and that the boilers were

valve. The boilers had been ia use for
twenty years and one of those which ex-
ploded was considered the best one in the
mill.
Inspector John B. Dumond of the Hart
ford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insur-
ance Co., testified to there being no evil
dence OF leakage in the boilers which
were blown up.
Hiram Il. Smith and George Hogue. the
day and night engineers, testified TO the
boilers being all right before and after 9
o'clock L. M. The explosion occurred at

the boilers every thirty minutes
James Hindley, master mechanic of the
works. testified that as there was 10 sig

which he could advance was that of ex

boilers were subject.

The pardon of Burglar Dunlap seems
to have caused great satisfaction to the
eminent citizens of Boston. 1t will like.
wise cause great joy to all the criminals
of the country. Inasmuch ms it is the
latter class with which society has To
deal so frequently, it is question
worthy of thought as to whether the
pardon and communication CT sentence
has not recently been largely overdone.
That the evils which a community
has 10 face at the hands of criminals
can only be averted by severe penalty
for wrong doing is an axiom proved by
long experience. The criminal knows
no law; he has no fear for the prison
bars, and in almost all cases his wrong
doing is the result of deliberate pur-
pose in which he knows the penalty and
from choice takes the risk of
that penalty when he commits
the crime. The Dunlap burglary case
was not an exception to this rule. Dun
lap was opposed to the burglary at first.

plumber can avail him nothing, what is
to hinder him from restoring that plum

What safeguard are our penal laws
If pardons are to issue TO every
penitent criminal? Penitence Is
not effectual in righting the
wrong committed. Neither does the
prisoners penitence affect the large class
OF criminals who are still at large. IL
penitence is plea for pardon there is
little doubt that our prisons would be
soon filled with meek prisoners. The
restitution of the funds by Dunlap did
not avert the serious losses TO the bust
ness interests of Northampton, nor does
his exemplary conduct in prison lessen
his crime.
The question to decide is not whether
Dunlap is entitled to pardon, for nothing
can entitle him or any other guilty man
to leniency. but whether his pardon
Will not be al incentive to similar crimes
on the part of others. The law not
only prescribes a means of punishment
for the guilty, but it acts as a preventa-
tive. Society is much less anxious
to punish an offender than to
prevent the offence, but as the
prevention Of the offence can
only be accomplished by furnishing the
offenders as examples there is but one
course 20 take, and that is to make the
punishment adequate and to insist that
the guilty undergo the full penalty.
There Is far too much misplaced leni-
ency and too many pardons. 1t is
great blessing for the criminal, but it is
a severe curse to society.
