Some days ago the Journal spoke of the
growing tendency to shield criminals from
tbe jus, punishment OF their crimes.
Courts Of Justice are growing more and
more lenisns in dealing with ofsuders Of
this class. Especially 10 this the case
With people who commit brutal personal
assaults, jeopsrtizing human life. A spe-
ciai dispatch from Providence, z. T.,
70 the Boston HersIi Of October 3. fur
aishes excellent illustrations Of this point.
We quote /, in full
''Ia the court Of common pleas divi-
sion Of the supreme court, this after
ason, Hugh Prior. barber, who
two seeks ago eat bis ~ifes throat and
then attempted 70 kill boasder. pleaded
quilted to an Indictment charging him with
an assault vith dangerous weapon, and
~ss sent 10 prism for one year.

meat charsihs hrt eith assault With ;

xnifs made him mp oat Of = second
.tory window. On the following day, when
he y 40 eating his dinner, she stole up be-
hind him, cutting his throat with a knife
Emma was sent to the county Jail for II
months"
Here we have it. A man who cuts his
~ifes throat and attempts to kill q fellow
boarter is sent To prison for one year! A
roman who has twi1e attacked her employ
er, the last time succeeding In cutting his
throai 10 sent to the county Jail far II
months
What = trAves,y on justice Both of
these people we're 10 point Of fact ~ much
marderers in hear. and in purpose A. If they
had been successful in killing their victims,
and yet the combined sentence Of both is
less than two years How long will soci-
ETY. be safe IL Justice shall continue to be
administered in this purile fashion? These
two incidents are simply types Of scores OF
similar ones that are daily occurring right
here in law loving New England. How
long can courts of justice expect to retain
the confidence of the people, IL they con-
tinue to mete out such meAgre punishment
to criminals guilty Of offenses of such
gravity IL life and limb are to be rem
dered secure the public should take
this matter in hand. and demand,
in no uncertain tones, that courts
of Justice shall make their punish
ments come somew where near fitting the
crime If each of the parties mentioned in
the dispatch above quoted had been sent to
prison for / / years, it would have been no
more than they deserved, As it is, in one
short year they will once more be at large
to menace again the peace CT the commun
ity. 1t is about time to inaugurste a
reform in this direction. II the
statutes do not give the courts suf-
ficient power to deal properly with offenses
of this character they should be so amended
a. to afford all the authority requisite. AT
the present time the methods of dealing
with dangerous criminals Of this class are
in many instances, as fsrcical ss they are
ineffective.

common acceptance Of the statements re-
gariing ab .ndoned farms in New England.
Many have spoken and ~stten on this sub
ject Of which they had neither any intimate
or comprehensive knowledge. abandoned
fArms" had become . convenient hobby for
certain calamity prophets.
An occasional deserted farmhouse in the
neighborbood of such country places as
ons happened to be familiar with
lent weight 10 the depressing statements so
frequently heard. One would recall to
mind deserted farm buildings that once
housed large families In comparative com
fort, but would not stop to weigh the causes
for this condition Of things. would not wait
TO inquire ~ to what use the land abou,
these abandoned homes is being put or
whether these farms should not have been
abandoned long before they were for the
benefit Of all concerned.
The New England Homestead has con-
ferred great favor on the public by com
piling from the records of the census bu-
reau. facts that are incontrovertible and
which show that nearly G5 per cent. of
the New England farms are free from
debt, that only about 20 per cent,
are mortgsgei and that the others are
rented or worked on shares.
In the State of Maine the decrease in the
number of far rs for the decade ending
isa0.wAs only 8 per cent, little more than
half the decrease In the state Of New York
which WAS 81 per cent. The farms in New
England are lsrser than they were 10 years
previous to 1890, for during that time H.
100 farms have been absorbed in New Eng
land, alone absorbed or abandoned to
pasturage and woodland. New England
has on an average fewer farms by per
cent. while New Yorks decrease was 6 per
cent. Another favorable showing for New
England. 10 that while the system of tenant
farming has increased quite rapidly in other
states In New England, exclusive
Of Rhode Island. from s2 to 30 per
cent. Of the farms are cultivated
BY the owners. And when We
think that about Is per cent. Of these are
owned clear Of Indebtedness the indepen-
denee Of the average New England farmer
ought no longer to be questioned. Only per
cent Of the Maine farms were run BY tenants
In is9o but this 10 double the per cent. of
isso. "New England - . whole has about
