SO .rS.~ - re-
of eight years, little Jesse Warren, to
the Reform School on a charge OF
homicide. 1t seem to us that a more
extraordinary abuse of the provisions
of the law never came before the pub
lie notice.
If the Grand Jurors who indicted
this baby criminal were aware OF his
age, the absurd cruelty of the pro-
ceedings dates back to the hour
when they indicted him. Indeed, 1T
may almost be said that the policeman
who arrested him, the captain who
locked him up, the magistrate who
committed him, and the prosecutor
whofaied to enter q noUe pros the mo-
ment an indictment was found, were
all participants in a course of refined
cruelty more worthy of the Inquisition
or of the torture chambers of Nurn-
berg than of a civilized country in the
Nineteenth Century.
This small boy threw a stone. Mill
ions of small boys have done the same
thing equally with an utter lack of APP
probation of the possible conse-
quences. All the other nine hundred
and p~inety-nine thousand nine hun
bred and ninety-nine stones fell harm
less; but. by an inscrutable dispense
ton of Providence. this n was sim
gled out to Strike another boy in such
an unhappy way that his death re-
suited.
1t is absurd to suppose that the
tiny stone thrower had any idea of
killing the little victim. He has no
idea of what death is. He had no
idea of seriously injuring him, for he
could not appreciate the nature of a
serious physical injury. He simply
threw the stone from an ordinary i'm
pulse of mischief, and it is his very
great misfortune, and not in any
reasonable sense his fault that the act
had such a lamentable consequence.
The penalty prescribed by Judge
Hudspeth is nothing short of the
blight and ruin of his whole life. He
is to be robbed of his youth, to be de-
prived of the education that his par
ents would give him, of the social
training of free life, of the oppor-
tunities of establishment in the world,
which can only be secured in early
years. And what is it all for? Why.
for an offence of childish ignoran nee
and thoughtlessness, such as some
times boys will indulge in, as long as
boys are boys.
The community gains nothing
through the severity of this punish
ment. 1t is ludicrous to suppose it
will make future generations of ur-
chins tremble at the awful results Of
stone throwing. 1t is not necessary TO
the boys own amendment. We un-
derstand he has relations in good pos
ition and of correct life, who r able
to bring him up better than any re-
form school in the world. The pen
atty is a mere act of public vengeance
on a piece with the old Anglo Saxon
habit of burning alive In animal
which had accidentally caused the
death OF a human being.
Let us hope Judge Hudspeth will
think better of his action and cause
the immediate release Of the boy, or
if he will not, that Governor Werts
will exerc Use his prerogative to save
the State from such an act of mediae-
val barbarism as the committal of
of this poor child to a prison when he
to be in his mothers leading

THE Journal urges Mr.. Brugge-
mann to stand fast" in his opposition
to the progress of rapid transit and
the development of the waste lands of
the county. Its particular ground of
attack is the double track over the
West Newark avenue bridge, which
is SO necessary to the successful oper-
alton Of the trolley road across the
meadows to Kearny.
This is like the stupid and crooked
Journal. A few months ago it sat
silent and complacent while every
street in this city worth gobbling was
gobbled for a mere nominal COM
pensation or no compensation. The
Journal was appealed to at that
time to stop that wanton and un-
called for sacrifice of the peoples
rights. Then was the time for a
paper that had any brains or any
honesty to strike a blow.
But never a blow struck the Jour
nal. It had been argued with by the
agents of the street grabbing COM
pany. and their golden eloquence had
prevailed. Now, the company has
not taken the trouble to see the Jour
naz's controlling spirits, nay more. it
has taken their car passes away; SO
the effete publication walls and howls
over a tuppeny privilege OF cummings
track across a bridge, which can do
nobody any harm, and which is OBJ
yiously necessary to the success OF a
great and useful public enterprise.

With the Miner Left out.

From the Philadelphia Times
The soft coal miners in the DuBoi!
and Reynoldsville regions have declined
orders from the walking delegates tc
strike and remain at work, even though
the rate is just what it was four years
ago when the Mckinley tariff of 70 cents
ton was passed for their benefit The
organs of the wall and howl variety, like
the Clearlield R,Jtsmaa'S Journal and
the Dubois Courier, continually assure
these miners, it is true, that the reduc-
tions and suiTerings under which they
labor are directly due to the Wilson bill
and the invitation to the Whitney syndi-
cate to ship in Nova Scotia coal, but the
miners somehow cannot account for the
much better pay in Nova Scotia ovel
what they receive, which they have
been so frequently assured could not
occur under protection.
The Cape Brenton miner gets 80 to 60
cents a ton, while the Clearfeld miner
gets 80 cents. The Canadian can make
$40 day, with lower rents, less taxes
and better food supply prices. The
Clearfeld miner is sometimes allowed to
make $3.50 a day, with heavy discounts
on living and the company store to con
tend with. He is helpless to better con
ditions, and yet he knows there is g
compensatory wages balance somewhere,
for Mr.. Reed and the organs have told
him SO repeatedly, and he is hunting
for it.
But as he searches further reductions
come, the coal operators ship an increas-
ing product to Buffalo and Rochester
over their own railroad, the 10 cent
tariff charge per ton to subiugate Canada
is added to the price paid by the con
sumer and the scheme of protective
salvation goes merrily on with the miner
left out.

THE DAYS FASHIONS.

THE market is full of eccentriclties
and vagaries in the way of gloves, but,
all the same, conservative trade de-
mands strictly plain styles, with al
most invisible stitching,
EvENISG bonnets of flowers and lace
are the tiniest creations Imaginable.
One pretty model Is of roscttes Of lace
with flowers. The ribbon strings cross
in front and are tied in long loops and
ends at the back of the neck
For wear with spring dresses, there
are velvet collars, edged with galloon
or lace. Collars are for the most part
made with double rufIles and are very
elaborate affairs. A standing collar,
slightly haring, is the usual nccl,
finish.
A PRETTY conccit, in high favor
among young women, is dresses and
hats to match. A pink-and-whito
batiste, trimmed with lace and rib
bons, has a Leghorn hat with pink
velvet and apple blossoms. The brim
is faced with shirred crepon, and
pinched up in scallops all around.
a HANDSOME costume for spring is
made of navy blue and coffee brown
camels hair. The skirt is Of blue,
with panel of the brown deliberately
trimmed with narrow blue braid. The
fitted waist of brown has blue sleeves
and brown shoulder ruilles. Rows OF
narrow braid are set at the hem of the
skirt

then turned to Mr. Thompson again.
"Somebody in the court wrote a pro-
posal of marriage and passed it to me as
soon as the damages were awarded; he
was beforehand with you"
"Do you mean that you accepted

and his hair stood up more aggressively

Good by, Miss Wortley-for the
present." Mr.. Thompson said, making
frantic rush for his hat and gloves.
"Good-by, Mr.. Thompson"
Thompson opened the door and gave
admittance to some one who was about
to knock. He gave look at the new
conner, and hesitated to leave, but a
very decided action on the others part
induced him to do so. The door
which had been held open so meaningly
for him was very promptly slammed
after him, not without a suspicious
movement, which looked like a kick,
aimed at the departed guest.
The newcomer was Oliver Toogood, a
tall, burly, hearty-loolSing man of forty,
having the appearance of a country
| gentleman, though he was really a
horse dealer, very we'll known in his
county for honesty and fair dealing.

Dumps and Democracy.

From the Philadelphia Record.
If Mr.. Stranahan, the newly elected
chairman Of the Democratic state COM
mittee, had been Of lugubrious turn
of mind the information conveyed to
him by the press of the state as to the
utter hopelessness of further effort to
rehabilitate Democracy in Pennsylvania
might have brought on a condition Of
settled melancholy, But we are not at
liberty to think that Mr.. Stranahan is
one Of the despondent kind.
There are some Democrats who are
so well convinced of the soundness of
Democratic principles that they would
despise themselves if they should be
guilty of any fsilure to uphold them
Principles do not fail because the crop
or the banks fail, nor because the shift
ing tides Of political action lift up or puI
down parties.
Looking back at the history of Ameri
can politics, the record of the Democratic
party shows that for the greater part Of
the lifetime Of the nation the control Of
public affairs has been committed to its
molding hands. The parties that have
been opposed to the party of Jefferson
and Jackson haYe been repeatedly de
feated, disbanded and destroyed
Democracy survives. twill last as loni
as the republic.
Mr.. Stranahan can 60 into the battl
in November serenely confident that
whether he shall succeed or fail, there
will be left in Pennsylvania a compact
courageous and resolute party always
ready to renew the fight against the
opposers of Democratic principles.
Those who think that because the
Democratic bridges haye been carried
away by the spring freshets they viii
not be put in place again, ready for fal
business, are green of judgment or lack
ing in observation. They should reaC
up their political history. Mr.. Strana
han could probably give them hint o
two that would be at once edifying anC
useful.
