what Would You Do

IL assured by scientific men that the
world would come to end within the
next twelve weeksP The long prom
ised novel of Camille Flammarion
"Omega: The Last Days of The
World" proves to be of thrilling in
terest. Ii is the conception of one OF
the Worlds most distinguised astron-
omers, worked out within the bounds
of scientific possibility. While edu-
eating the reader in the most modern
phase of science, it is as full of inter-
ing surprises as The Arabian Nights
Entertainment. The most interesting
part of this wonderful novel is found
in his description of the trepidation
and expectation into which the people
of the world are thrown. Imagine
the condition of the stock exchange
with fact of such import staring
them in the face. The opening chap
iers will be found in the April num-
ber of The Cosmopolitan magazine.
Probably no novel has ever been
presented in an American magazine
with such illustrations as accompany
Flanmarioa's Omega" mhich CON-
mences in the April Cosmopolitan.

rens, Rochegrosse, Chevin, Vogel, o.

AS to Ourselves.

at is a fact which no one disputes
that nothing worth having is got in
this world without hard work and
waiting. Yet when we set ourselves
seriously the task OF gaining a great
good, we become astonished and COM
plain loudly at the discovery that we
have to work hard and wait long to
get it. This is about as reasonable
as if man should acknowledge that
two and two made four, and should
8grumble because in his private cash
account he could not make two dollars
and two dollars add up to five dollars.
Nothing we find out in life is more
utterly confounded that this; that
truth is not only true in the abstract
but that it is true for us.
1t is not only copy book axiom,
out vital fact in life, that if we do
rood, good is bound to come of it
ind if we do evil, we must expect
|vil. It seems to take long time
before nature convinces each of us
hat we live under her law as individ-
ais, in common with all mankind.
We concede that her law is immuta-
lie but we have secret conviction
hat an exception is to be made in our
Byn particular case"

Mr.. John E. Risley, the newly APP
pointed minister to Denmark, says the
charge made against him by the Terre
Haute Express that he was a member of
the Knights of the Golden Circle and
embezzled $500 worth of it's funds is
not worth noticing. The public will not
be likely to agree with Mr.. Risley. The
charges are of treason and rascality
They are certainly too serious to be
passed unnoticed by man who has
been appointed to conspicuous public
position, or to be met with mere per-
sonal denial. What Mr.. Risley should do
is to compel the paper which made them
to prove them or to acknowledge that
they are false. In short he should bring
a suit for libel against the Terre Haute
Express.

Siberian Horrors in Tennessee.
(Memphis Appeal Avalanche,)a

The report of the legislative committee
on our penitentiary system reads like a
chapter from Siberia. 1t has often been
said that no matter how blameless and
well-intentioned might be the person
who entered the Tennessee penitentiary,
and no matter how venial might be the
offence, he would come out of it a full
fedged graduate in crime. The report
of the legislative committee makes it
apparent that this is fact. The great
trouble with most Of our penitentiaries
is that in a majority of cases the persons
who manage them are worse than the
criminals whom they are called upon to
restrain. Keepers and guards are usual
ly birds of prey who thrive on the mis-
fortunes of the wretches confined to their
care. There can be no two opinions on
the proposition that our penitentiary
system is a disgrace to the state. The
central penitentiary is totally inadequate
and totally vile. 1t Isl school for crime,
prostitution and disease. 1t repeats, in
many respects, the horrors of the Rus
sian etapes and prisons. It is unsani-
tary. 1t contains no room for the refor-
nation of the criminal. 1t is so arranged
as to exclude all that and to encourage
only vice and crime,
The lease system but adds to the hor-
rors of our penitentiary system. The
convicts who work in the mines are fed
on vile food, are allowed no recreation
and are housed like beasts. Moreover
these men are compelled to come into
competition with free labor, and thus a
perennial disturbance is created, which
requires the existence of small standing
army. The original idea of punishment
had been lost sight of entirely in this
state. 1t is one of the foundation stones
in our criminal law that the State, in
taking away the liberty of aman, does SO
for the purpose of preventing him from
repeating his crime and for the purpose
of reforming him. If this second ele-
ment does not enter into the case, then
the State has no right to turn any of it's
prisoners loose. The incarceration of
thief, for instance, for year in hotbed
of crime is no protection to the public.
for as soon as he gets out he will resume
his old line of offence; so that the public
welfare is not conserved except during
the time OF his incarceration. and as soon
as he gets out he is apt to make up for
lost time. The graduate of an instltll-
ton for the encouragement of crime is
not likely to get honest employment. If,
however, he were surrounded by good
influences during his incarceration. and
the warden could igive him certificate
of good behavior and reformation, there
are plenty of kind people in the world
who would give him a helping hand. In
this State the idea of reformation would
be regarded as jest in penitentiary cir
cles. The present legislature is, there
fore, confronted with problem requir-
:.
only be purged Of this disgrace by the
building of new and commodious peni-
Tertiary, by the abolition of the lease
system and the introduction of humani-
tartan methods into the problem of hand
ling crime.

1t is now alleged that the extradition
treaty with Russia about which there
has been so much speculation, contains
a clause that makes forgery an extra
ditable offence. AS there is practically
no means of escaping from Russia except
by means of forged passport it is said
that this clause will suffice to procure
the extradition of every Russian who has
fled from his country to the United
States, no matter whether his offence was
of political or a criminal character.
1t would seem that in view of the many
stories and suspicious afoat in regard to
this treaty to be the duty of the Senate to
to make it public, and allow the people
to see just what it is. If it contains the
clauses that current rumor has attributed
to it it can never be enforced. Public
opinion would never permit the extradi-
ton of Russian suspect from this coun-
try, who had been guilty of political
offence simply, to be tried and punished
by the barbarous criminal code of the
Gear.

In the glowing notices of the Hon. Da-
RUS Fl. Ingraham that have appeared in
the Argus since he consented to head the
fraud procession, we observe nothing
concerning the necessity of electing Mr..
Ingraham in order to give the people re-
lief from the extortion of the Portland
water company. Three weeks ago that
was offered as the chief reason for his
reelection, and when his phenomenal
majority in Ward one came in the Argus
spent several days explaining it on the
ground that there had been a great up
rising on the Hill in favor of Mr.. Ingra-
ham because he alone could deliver the
people from the Portland water company.
But now the Argus is as dumb as an oys-
ter on this subject We are told day
after day with nauseating iteration that
Mr.. Ingraham is real nice man, that his
administration was splendid one, that
his heart yearns for everybody whether
rich or poor, without distinction of race
nationality OF creed; but no longer do
we hear anything about water. That
humbug on which the previous campaign
in Mr.. Ingraham's behalf was run is too
thoroughly exploded even for the Argus
to use.
