We are glad to learn Prof, W. S.
Yeates, of this State, has been made
State Geologist of Georgia, and is
greatly esteemed in that State for
his fine ability. For some years he
has been connected with the Smith

young men are making their maxi
and we are glad to chronicle the
fact. Young Mr.. Begg carries of:
the honors at Yale, and cadet
Howell leads his class at West

tons of intellectual vigor among our
young men. Among the older ones,
we note that Col. w F. Beasley has
invented some locks that should
make him famous, and we hope will
enrich him.

The failure of Ex-Secretary Fos-

troubles of Governor Mckinley, ex-
cite a good deal of sympathy and
interest. It is right odd that a
Secretary Of the Treasury and the
Chairman of the ways and means
committee should be such indiffer-
ent managers of their own concerns
while entrusted with the manage
ment of such great financial inter
ests on behalf of the public. When

Reform of the Felou.

Does it do any good to send a felon to
the penitentiary? By the term felon
let us understand man who commits
crime which under our laws may be
punished by imprisonment beyond
Jail or workhouse sentence With this
definition as basis to the question the
further inquiry is suggested: What is
the result aimed at in sentencing a cul-
prit? Is it to punish him for past mis-
demeanors? If so, then, to be sure,
sending him to the penitentiary does
some good. 1t Furnishes him. But if
the ultimate aim be to make society
safer from his possible future depreda-
tions, then sending him to the peniten-
tlary under our present laws will scarce
ly do either the man sent or the society
sending him the least particle of good.
In Illinois punishment is the only
idea involved in the criminal sentence.
No sane man can expect it to be refor-

Justice Dispensed With.

"Out of nineteen cases." says the Chi
cago Herald, considered by the appel
late court of this district, which were
rendered Con certain day., thirteen
were reversed and remanded. The fact
is significant of the quality of law and
justice dispensed dispensed with
in our local courts" In view of such a
state of affairs, concludes our contem-
porary, "it would be far cheaper for
litigants to flip penny in order to
reach decision of the question at is
sue, and the chances are far greater
that by such course they would reach
a legal and equitable adjustment of the
difficulties than by appealing to the
courts" 1t is reasonable to add that
when the few cases which safely pass
through the appellate court ordeal
reach the supreme court, a majority Of
them are reversed. Is this the kind or
degree of success, government has at
tanned in the administration of justice :?

rr,.e. LOO per year, in advance,
'ehMS: Six Months so Cents.

What must we conclude when even
moderate papers virtually admit the
SOundneSS of the position of those who
hold that government is failure, and
that it does nothing for society which
private and competitive agencies could
not do far more efficiently and ecOnOm-
ically? A government that does not
enforce justice has no reason for exist
ence, no right to collect taxes by force.
The only function which government
may rightfully undertake is the enforce
ment of justice, and the contention of
philosophical defenders of compulsory
cooperation government that JUS
tice can be enforced by government.
For no other function is it fitted, and
no other function may properly be as
sumed by it. But when we find that
the immense mischief resulting from
government meddling with multiple
city of matters not within it's legitimate
scope is not even offset by the benefit
of preventing injustice between man
and man, no possible justification of
compulsory taxation and cooperation
remains. Government then becomes
simply an invader and an unmixed evil.
1t should be emphasized, however, that
government has not yet had a fair
chance to demonstrate it's fitness for the
function of enforcing justice. Too
many things have been demanded and
expected of it in addition to it's primary
function; too many tasks have been as
sumed by it, or thrust upon it, to make
the fulfillment of that primary function
possible. If justice is desired, let the
government be limited strictly to the
discharge of that functiOn.-7he Week.

ALL WILL BE WELL.

AL will be WELL heard this bleSt assurance
Flung DER the borders of the unseen spheres
1t gave me faith and courage and endurance
To walk Serenely on and meet the years.
Like the sweet voice of some cOnsOling spirit
Down through the silence of the night it fell.
My souls fne-ear was rightly tuned to hear it,
''All will be well.''
All will be WELL Why should we ever doubt it?
There was no blunder in creations plan.
When Gods vast mind conceived and went about
it,
He was not aided or controlled by man.
The stars that move in such immortal beauty
Through their appointed pathways seem to tell
Our questioning souls, if we but do our duty,
"All will be well.''
All will be WELL Let not our hearts be troubled
By passing clouds or shadows that may fall.
We must pass bravely on with faith redoubled
The glorious end will justify it all.
/ will believe that voice from heavens portal
Clear as the utterance of a silver bell
IT spoke to me truth that is immortal:
"All will be well.''

Go Slow.

One of the principal benefits to be
derived from the parole law recently
adopted, is that of being secured en-
plOyment. 1t removes from the path
way of an honorable future career, one
OF the most difficult obstacles that the
prisoner formerly had to encounter
upon his release. How great this OBJ
stacle was none know but those who
have tried to overcome it and failed.
Even it one succeeded in obtaining en-
plOyment, to some extent commensurate
with his abilities, it was merely a matter
OF time before by some means or an
other his antecedentS would become
known, and in ninety-five cases out of a
hundred result in his discharge. Though
this incubus has been removed from
the pathway, and all are given at least
a fOOthOld in the outer world which
cannot be lost except through negli-
gence, do not let us flatter ourselves
that we are to have smooth sailing
in the future. There are still innumer-
able difficulties to be encountered be-
fore we will regain the confidence once
bestowed upon us. Chief among these
minor difficulties is that of adapting
ourselves to our new surroundings
when once more mingling in the hurry
worry. and hustle of the world Above
all, take the advice of the late Major
Newson, "Go SLOW" During the period
of our exclusion the world has been
progressing; new conditions have arisen
necessitating the adoption of new meth
ods, ways, and means, to meet the re-
Quirements of the age. This progress
has been particularly conspicuous In
the industrial and commercial branch
es, consequently we who are entirely
unfamiliar with these new methods are
"behind the times" and it will require
both patience and study to familiarize
ourselves with them. We may be able
to acquire knowledge while here, but it
will only be theoretical and we lack
the necessary experience and skill for
the practical application of this knowl-
edge. The world wants and will pay
for practical knowledge, and until we
have acquired it let us "Go slow.

MaZaS Prison.

"Mazas prison, in which the French
Panamaters are incarcerated," said 2.
G. Fouse, of Philadelphia, to repre-
sentative of the St. Louis Globe Demo-
crdt is one of the meanest and drear-
lest on the face of the earth. Each cell
is about eleven feet long by six and one
half wide and less than nine high. The
walls are dirty yellow, and the only
light is admitted through small pane
of rOughed glass. The prison is cold,
and prisoner needs to wear an over
coat there all the time at this season.
1t was of a cell in MazaS that Victor
Hugo, who was one of the first to enjoy
the hospitality of this prison, said that
ones second the cold Each cell is
is chained to the wall, hammock bed
and small quantity Of tin-plate uten-
SilS.
"The hours in force at Mazas are as
follows: At seven o'clock the bell rings
for prisoners to rise. Half an hour lat
er a warder opens the cell door, by which
time the prisoner must have swept his
cell, folded up his hammock and be
ready for inspection. The warder hands
him his loaf of bread and fills his jug
with his daily allowance of water. AT
eight o'clock his first meal of vegetable
soup is served, meat soup being only
allowed on Sundays and holidays. At
three o'clock the second and last meal
of the day is served to the prisoners. 1t
consists of a gamelle of beans or lentils,
meat being given only twice week. At
eight o'clock the bell warns prisoners
to get their cells ready for the night,
and at ten o'clock all lights are put out.
Each prisoner is allowed to exercise
himself for three e-quarterS of an hour
every day in small yard or passage
which lies between high walls with iron
grating at either end. During his exer-
else he is under the constant surveil-
lance of warder and can neither see
nor communicate with any other being
The rest of his time he spends in his
cell, where he may work for the prison
contractors or for his own amusement,
as he chooses. By working all day at
stitching cOpyboOks together, making
slippers or brushes, he is able to earn
about four pence, which he can spend
with the cantiniere for vim ordinaire,
coffee, garlic or tobacco. Prisoners who
can afford may order meals from a res
taurant, but these are limited in guam
tity to one plate of soup, plate of meat
and vegetables and one dessert

Hint to Social Reformers.

Special education in the relation of
capital to labor is now demanded, for
the master as well as the workman. for
the State as well as the individual.
The general sense of the community is
colored with an apprehension that
economical ethics is too abstract study
for ready comprehension, too uninvit-
ing for investigation, and of little prac-
tlcal value in any case; the compass of
a limited horizon is enough for it's
members, and they are satisfied to leave
the field OF economics to students and
statesmen. Now and then ripple on
the blank face of ignorance will be ex-
cited by the exploitation of some plan
of salvation which goes behind the
breastwOrks of society for it's inspira-
tion, and hopes to equalize matters by
robbing the Peters to pay the Pauls.
1t is true that such theories appeal to
many for reasons of self-interest; but
sooner or later they fall into that state
of desuetude which the papers call in
+nocuous, while the disciples 60 home to
wait for the evolving of another
scheme, and the nOn-cOnverts, perhaps,
drift further away from legitimate doc
trine. With some of the late exhaust
i've treatiSeS bearing upon social econ
omy, it is only necessary to take up the
subject to gain clear insight into it's
theory. There are undoubtedly now
many students and conscientious eX-
pOnentS of economical relations but
the ratio is small to the intelligent and
thinking class, and smaller still to that
class who cannot or will not accept
logical conclusions, but are prone to
follow the trend of general opinion.
The work of special education has re-
'ceived its first impetus, and is going
forward. How it may be advanced is
must of course be the moving factor,
al. The distribution of literature at
fertile points, and the establishment of
schools and lecture courses, are present
methods that call for extension. The
resources of the press are endless, and
could be further devoted. to the work,
while manufacturers clubs for the pro-
pagatiOn of knowledge might spring UP
all over. the country if the initiative
were given in the metropolis. Plans
should be made for animating the
methods of directing into proper chan
nels the speculative disposition of the
people, which has long engaged the
principles of economics, though blindly
in measure and is now open to the
point of receptivity. Just how an ex-
act sense of the justice of ethical sci
ence will have bearing on everyday
life is what the masses will ask. This
''how" involves the whole theory, which
should be exhaustively treated with the
aid of text books, presenting the condi-
tions which would necessitate an ad-
vance in the general standard of living,
shorten the hours of labor, take moth
ers of families away from the loom and
the mine, place children in school, make
homes where before were novels, raise
wages to the new standard, and make
life better worth living. Econ
