JUSTICE JOINS COURT.
A Record OF the Equity Dispensed to the Sim
ful by His Honor.

Neither the docket nor the audience at
Justice Johns temple yesterday morning wa
very large, but what was wanting in num-
bers was made up in quality. The Dispenser
unrayeied the causes OF lnIQuity as rapidly as
the lakir on Thirteenth and Main streets IN
ties the mysterious knot. and the administer
ting OF even-handel justice was unhlndered
by flashes from the legal lights.
The prisoner pen AT the clO-e OF the ex-
ercses was as empty as are the pockets OF
many Of many OF the candidates after club
meeting. but the cash-drawer OF Sergeant
Thomas was full TO oyertOwlng.
The case that excited the most interest
was that OF George Haney. who was charged
with cutting and wOundng George Welsh
with a knife Ii was only the sequel OF bar
room row resulting from the two free use OF
cheap liquor and peanuts over card table.
The wounded man. who is % brOther-in-law OF
the accused. did not want him punished.
The prisoner had been in Jail for over week
and as a natural consequence was pretty well
sobered up and the case was dismissed.
Maggie Reed was charged with striking
Harriet Williams with rock. This was a
case in which two women lavished their alice
tons upon one man. with the usual result or
the workings of the emerald-eyed demon The
women were returning from "scety" meet
ing of sisters when Maggie called Adelne
Williams name not found IN the list OF en-
dearing terms Adeline responded In like
language Rocks then began TO figure in the
affair aud Harriet Williams was hit. Adellne
paid - and Maggie $3.50.
James Jones IS a seedy-looklng. white indl-
vidual who came up 10 the bench with as
much timidity as a doubtful Democrat Will
approach the polls on the morning OF the prl-
mary. James was charged with being drunk
and his looks forbade any denial ana the
ouick-spoken Justice did not give time for ex-
cuses. He was fined y and costs. lie PAID
the court assessment like some folks buy their
furniture on the nstallment plan. The cash
payment was made. and lien on the mans
word was taken for the balance.
James Nelson (cOlored paid , for jumping
on passenger train of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company.
Edward Lewis )colored). paid q. 80 for be-
ing drunk and disorderly. Ned had a cut on
the back of his neck but he knew nothing of
how it came there.
Wingfeld Wicks was charged with cruelty
10 horse The animal was badly CALLED,
but experts testified that he was not seriously
hurt Wicks talks more than twenty candl-
dates at a ward meeting and tho hardest work
the Justice and Sergeant h ad to do yesterday
was to keep him quiet. The case was dis
missed.
Albert Eggleston, a colored dray driver.
was fined y tor leaving his team IN the
street.

THE name of Bland in the present age is
entirely associated with the wel-known
Bland Silver bill. Representive Stone, OF
Pennsylvania. has been rummaging in Colo
NAL hist Jfy. and he finds that an ancestor of
the living Bland was the putative author of
the famous Warehouse Certificate act of l74s,
the principle of which closely resembles some
features of the doctrines advocated by his
descendant. In the eighteenth century
tobacco was the standard of value. gold and
silver being demonetized. In the large trans
actions of the growing colony it became ne
cessary to use some more convenient me-
dunn of circulation than tobacco. Govern
ment warehouses we're established in conse-
quence in charge of Government inspectors.
Here tobacco was deposited and what
were known as tobacco notes were issued on
it TO the owners, and these notes were legal
tender in payment of all debts. The Bland
bill of 1892 allows the deposit of gold or silver
virtually silver, in Government ware
houses, for which silver notes are 10 be re-
ceived which, like the old tobacco notes, are
to be receivable in payment of ell debts,
taxes and dues to the Government. The only
difference between the two bills is in the
character of the commodities which are made
the basis of the notes.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1892-03-30

Let all lovers of peace. order and stability
in affairs thank Providence that the Silver
bill seems to be dead. at least until after the
next presidential election. The good sense
of large body of Democratic members Of
Congress asserted itself at last and in time to
give the baleful measure its quietus. tempo
rarity at least. Even if it should be called
upon to endure another period Of agitation
and fear. the country at any rate has
breathing spell. and in that interval we may
be able to 50 instruct those who are now mis-
led and misguided upon this vital matter that
future danger from it may be eyaded.
Outside of the inherent viciousness Of the
proposition contained in Mr.. BANDS bill there
is another all-potential reason why the South
should turn its back upon it. Eyer since the
war she has been struggling for recognition
as coequal member of the Union. Her
proper place has been denied her, first for the
part she took in the war. and. secondly from
the fear of the property owning elements OF
the North that, being herself ruined by the
war. she was ready TO tie herself to any rev.
dictionary measures that threatened the sta
bility of property rights. she was beginning
to live down this apprehension when herrepre-
sentatives in Congress tied themselves TO this
Silver BILL which property rights in every
form recognized as an attack upon
themselves The issue was fast drifting into
q sectional one. The North was fast begin
ing to raise the cry that the silver move was
move by the ruined Southerners against
Northern property rights. Let this bark
develop itself into full cry. and all hope for
the South in the General Government vii! be
ended for many years. Our people wall lie
oppressed by force bills, protective tariffs.
strangers for Office holders and every curse
of a carpet-bsg regime. 1t is simple suicide
for his section for Southern representative
TO allow his name to be connected with this
pernicious measure. 1t means civil and po-
lltcal death to the whole South

AN INSANE PHILANTHROPY.

Sir Walter Scott on one occasion IN refer-
ring to Howard. who devoted his life to i'm
proving the condition Of prisons. spoke of his
reformatory beneyolence as frequently rising
to the pitch of an insane philanthropy" If
the great Scotchman could have survived to
the present day and paid visit TO New Eng
land he would have had an opportunity of
observing there methods of changing the
characters of criminals which would have led
him to think that the insanity of Howard was
OF very mild kind indeed as compared with
the stark madness of the New England prison
reformers. The keynote of their system,
which is very forcibly described by Mr.. An
drews in the last number of the Forum, is
given in the language Of the secretary of the
Massachusetts Prison Reform Association
I'VE should not punish men for their crimes"
he remarks. Punishment should only he
that Of instruction and elevation"
What direction does this instruction and
elevation take? The answer to this is found
in the last report of the superintendent Of the
Concord reformatory, or, as it would he called
in the South. the Concord peatentiary. pen-
Tertiary not being word which is now adj
mitted into the official vocabulary of Massa-
chusetts.
In this reformatory or penitentiary every
Saturday afternoon is half holiday. Base
ball clubs come from outside the prison to
compete with the prisoners; baseball, foot
ball. wrestling, leaping and other sports fill
the hours. On holidays chat is. when the
whole day is given up to revelry)
the schedule of games rivals the Caedonian
Club on its great days. The
entertainment programme Con evenings other
than holidays) includes classical music and
minstrelsy, farce and comedy. dignified de-
camation and humorous recitation. the be-
guilements Of the magician, the illusionist
and ventriloquist caiisthenics. the banjo and
the bones. We strive to give
to the criminal all the physical. social, intel
lectual and moral advantages that uncon
demned persons have. and as nearly as pos
sible bring them to them in the same way as
to uncommitted persons-good quarters, ex
cellent food in abundance, regular daily
work, weekly out-of-door exercise. recreation.
schools, library, societies, courses of lectures,
entertainments and religious exercises
Is it any cause for surprise that crime has
rapidly increased in a community which en-
tertains such perverted ideas of prison discI-
pline as these? According to the last report
of the police commissioners of Massachusetts
one person in every ten of the entire popula-
ton of Boston was arrested in the course of
1891 and one in every twenty-six throughout
the State. This result might have been conf
IDENTIFY predicted in State that rewards vice
and indolence behind prison walls with all
those comforts blessings and amusements
which virtue and industry only too often
strive for in vain in the world ut large. This
is reversing the regulations ordained of
heaven, and can only bring down upon those
guilty Of such infinite folly the confusion
and disappointment which it deserves

Against the Atlantic and Danville

Editor Of The Times
Sir,-I take the liberty. as q subscriber to
your paper and as large shipper of supplies
from your city to the farmers of Virginia, of
asking sufficient space to publish to the peo-
pie OF Virginia the excessive charges made IN
the freight bill here inclosed.
| know of course. that IL is useless now to
apply 10 the Railroad Commissioner. for, how
ever he might be inclined 10 remedy the evil.
he has as vet no power. believe and there
fore it is useless 10 add TO his duties by troub-
ling him.
The freight bill is the amount paid by Mr..
III. Z. Grizzard on ten ana one-half tons of
fertilizers from Richmond to Drewrysville, in
Southampton cOunty-S3l.5O or 81 per ton.
OF this amount the Atlantic Coast Line re-
ceiyes * 40-little enough: no complaint at
that-but he is compelled to pay S23. 10 on
the Atlantic and Danvllle railroad for fifteen
miles transportation. when the Atlantic
Coast Line only charged ~. 40 Tor sixty miles.
| know | am trespassing on your valuable
space but we have now no redress at law,
hence we are compelled to publish these i'm
positions as advised by Dir. Adams. of Massa-
chusetts, in his ably written book on railroad
commissions.
1 do not know that this effort TO bring
to the public notice the wrongs OF
these corporations will avail but ] think the
people of Richmond should know that one of
It's most important industries fertilizer

from supplying our own citizens IN counties
within seyenty-fve miles of Richmond with
fertilizers. and they, Notwithstanding they
desire 10 trade with Richmond. are forced to
obtain their supplies mainly from cities out
side the limits of the State. having less
freight TO pay for three times the distance
1t Is due TO the officers of the Atlantic Coast
Line to say that when applied to reduce this
freight they made every effort in their power
to do so. Respectfully.
