Gov. MARKHAM of California has
Just approved bill recently passed,
that seems 10 be something new in
statute law In this country. IL pro-
vides for the release, on parole, of
certain State prisoners who have
served one year Of their first tern.
Without knowing the details of ths
law we cannot pronounce fully upon
its merits; but from casual consid-
Grafton Of the principle involved, we
should think it would be a good
thing.
The release OF a prisoner on proba
ton ought certainly to promote goo0
behavior. Nothing has 80 strong q
hold upon man to develop a due
regard for the rights Of others aud
respect for the majesty of the law as
an abiding sense of the fact that lie
Is ION his honor to do what is right.
Many man has committed a crime,
not from developed criminal intent,
but from a momentary temptation,
which he might have resisted had
he kept before him by any means
whatever, q constant recognition Of
the necessity Of obeying the law.
Moreover, many criminal, who
leaves the prison after serving his
term, with deep seated hatred for
law and the State, and feeling that
he had expiated fully his infraction
OF law and that he was free to do 80,
if not under actual obligation to
"even things up" for what he might
cOnstrue into persecution, would be
wholly deprived of the slightest pre-
text for any such feeling. In the in
terest of prison reform, this is an ex
pertinent that will be watched with
interest.

iSed both sides 10 the charter que.-
ton that their petitions, when pre-.

that tn .ide having the largest num-

titions had been circulated and were
ready to be counted, and the warning
factions met in Nashville last Mon
day, the Andrews bill crowd objected
to being counted, and, if we are cor
rectly informed, because of this OBJ
lection from one side, Senator Whit

refused tosmaSe good their promise
to the other side. Now we are =

to us to be unfair. 1t appears to w.
that Senator Whitthorne and Rep e.
sentative Ricketts, have ignored the
rights Of some five or six hundred Of
their constituents who had signed
the petition against the Andrews
bill. To promise 10 do a thing ard
then not do it, is the attitude the
gentlemen seem to have plac i then. =
selves in. But Senator Whitthorne
has complained in the past that the
HERALD criticised him upon an er
parte statement, when he should
have been given hearing first. w
therefore forbear criticism now, q I'd
respectfully invite the gentlemen to
explain. We candidIy say to them
that we think they ought to exp ain
We know of some OF their life long

ONE of the pleasant things TO note
at this early day, in connection with
the change Of administration, il the
restoration Of confidence in the tinan-
cial world, and the accumulation Of
gold already begun in the National
treasury. While the expectation Of
gold was not likely to decrease the
actual money in circulation, and WAS
not therefore good reason foe "h4rd
times" still the lack of confidence so
increased the rate of interest AS to
interfere very greatly with the free
circulation aud the activity Of bus
ness, aud il continued was likely to
bring about disastrous panic. The
name of Cleveland is insepsrably
connected with Cleveland weather ~
honest government and good times.
If his luck holds ou., the country is
going to be prosperous.

GENTLEMEN OF the Big Three, we
have petitiOned you and your pre-
decessOrs in office, time and time

you in behalf o: suffering humanity.
Sprinkle the Public square. You
cannot affIrd TO sprinkle the town;
therefore do not listen to the I'M
reasonable demands OF tue self IA.
But you can afford 70 sprinkle the
Public Square, and you ought to do
it. Wo k the streets less. build fewer
pavements, cut somewhere, any
where, but in making up your
budgets, allow for sprinking the
Public Square. Nothing you can do
will be Of more benefit to more p9o-
ple.

AN Alabama paper has suggested y
schem', by which all government
appo ailments in that State might be
made NJ one time and thus enable
the fellows who don't get a job to
come and go TO work. Our contem-
porary would do cruel thing. Does
it not know that there is much more
fun IN expecting to get u place than
in the actual possession. And then
so may more fellows always ex-
pect t. get it than actually do, that
such Il scheme would reduce enor-
mousIv the possibilities of enjoy
me"t every tour years. We can't al

In Birmingham, Ala, ice is de-

reasonable that it should cost four
times as much to manufacture it in
Columbia. In Birmingham their

in Columbia it seems to be small

been fairly whipped. They started
their petition first and bantered the
other side to submit tn .ir claims to
the wishes of the majority. Their
claim that they have the majority, is
absurd 10 the face OF the fact that
after counting in private both petit
tioTs, they roma out of their private
chambtr and refuse to abide by the
p titons but demand a primary ell &C.
ton. Thsy were fairly beaten and it
would have be9l more manly in
them to have submitted. Ii they re.
fuse to abide by the petition when
they choose that manner of fighting.
will they abide by thu action OF the
primary?
Besides, il it was the Andrews bill
they wanted, why did they not sub
nit the Andrews bill to the primary ?
If the Andrews bill is such God
inspired document, and their zeal is
to serve the overbur1ened tax payer4,
how can they drop the Andrews bill
81 suddenly and take up another bill
so enthusiastically?

pose is to get somebody out of office

50 far AS the merits or demerits-of

cause we have not had time to read

of the people of Columbia, We do nor

We are not fully persuaded, how

now. And for that matter
there is not a week day that
you wont find us in the front,
cutting out a road for others
to follow. Where's the use
to lag behind?
Some special items for
next Monday, April 3, read
this way: More than 500
yards light colored penangs
and wide cheviots for dresses,
shirt waists and shirts, in
short lengths or remnants of
from I to 10 yards, worth IS

them are slightly damaged,
they go next Monday at 81
cents a yard; 200 yards plain
India linon in remnants, worth
10 cents to 129 cents a yard,
60 next Monday at y cents a

body wears shoes, and mighty
few that we can't shoe, to
your advantage. The center
of interest right now in the
world of womankind is suita-
bic attire for spring and sum-
mer. The heavy, cumbersome,
dresses and wraps that have
protected you from the bitter
winter, will soon be laid aside

you will accept a friendly tip,
here is the place for you to

and then to make little prices

WHATA CENSUS COSTS.

The art of taking a census, and to
derive from it an income, has made
giant strides in America since ten or
twenty Years. We are already in
1898. and the census of 1890 is not yet
completed. 1t is not any better than
the preceding one but 1t has lasted
much longer, and costs a great deal
more. That of 1880, which was far
from being complete, cost So 00O, 900.
That OF 1890, which is still less COM
plete, and not yet finished, will cost
IS, 600. 900 or more. Truly, even ut
the price that the Republican party
has caused butter to rise on the mar
kets of the Union, this is rather too
dea': it ever surpasses the enormous
expenses of the pension budget. But
why talk about this matter? In other
governments this affair would be
thoroughly investigated; but here, in
this great and grand republic, it pass
es off ~unperceived as ii it were a mat
ter of every day occurrence.
