possible, prevented from future practice.
That is practically all that sound judg-

work Of the notorious and inexplicable
vindlctlveness Of the cruelty chaste

excite sympathy, not implSeable wrath,
as ''soiled dove" who has "loved not

A woman cannot deal with crime
she is too lenient with men, too cruel
with women. She will always act on
the theory that rapist murderer must
be pitied and petted. while an unchaste
woman must be tortured.

It is vicious and vindictive chastity

BREEDING POVERTY

Promiscuous almsgIving is an un-
alloyed evil. There is really no excuse
no pallistion for It. 1t does harm and
not good.
The EVENING JOURNAL has maintained
this contention from the beginning Of
this charity fad. Now we have con-
frmation from New Castle. An iudig-
nant citizen says:
It's blooming outrage that my wife
has to get up at o. 45 Ia the morning and
fly about the house all day doing the
chores simply because l can't get negro

viNDIcTIvE CHASTITY.

wading into It. They cannot promote

When the detective, a woman, saw her

Into the Office, she struck the detective
on the bonnet, doing irretrievable injury
to that structure and then resorted TO
threats, tears and entreaties with other
Historically emotional feminine arti ices
to procure her liberty. She kicked, not
high, and cried not hoarsly, but with
perfectly adjusted emotion.

Now the pity OF it all is, perhaps,
that Bessie Dinmont, as she calls her
self in this role, has spoiled her pros

she is engaged, and that in consequence
Of the notorlety Of this incident, the
young man will break the engagement.
She may be in error about that however,
because she is in an emotional and un-
reliable state of mind. She may not be
engaged at all; and, If engaged the

gagement may not be a calamity to the
man or the woman, and It may be a
blessing to the world. In any case we
do not perceive the need Of such waste
Of STACEY, even II real emotion.
Judges are not usually Influenced by
feminine emotions even when they sit in
the "bald head row" they are absolutely
unsusceptible when on the bench. They
dare not appear sympathetic, especially
II they are married.
IL is scarcely necessary to mention
that the moral Of this tale is that even a
pretty actress who can kick and smile and
weep who can strike and threaten and
cry should not steal.

WHMK 1t is shocking to think other
wise than that Professor shortlidge, Of
Media, Is insane and that he was mentally
and morally not conscious Of the crime Of
murder and hence not legally responsible
for murder, there are some strange de.
velopments. The behavior Of Professor
Shortlidge is dramatic. It may be the
behavior of an insane man. We can
never foretell how an insane man will act
But It is said that the professor has lucid
intervals; that he is conscious Of his
crime, and that he goes about the
prison threatening to butt out his brains,
to hang himself, while he repeats the
name Of his wife with intonations and
infections Of affection. To be
plain and blunt there is a suggestion Of
acting. Now, there is possibility that
the reports which we read may not be
correct. But, however that may be, there
is horrible and horrifying suspicion
that Professor Shortlidge is not insane
The fact that husband has murdered
his wife Is awful. We cannot recall Il
without sort Of ghastly horror. To
suspect. however, that learned and
honorable professor should have killed
his lovely and beautiful bride is paliated
II we know that he Is not responsible.
We shall refuse TO entertain the belief
He must be insane; but the investigation
should be rigid. the proof absolute.

IT has always been the contention that
Minister Stevens did not recognize the
Provisional Government Of Hawaii TIL It
was firmly established and in possession
Of the public offices, It is cruel to destroy
that after-the-event contention, but
President Dole's letter does It. Writing
to Minister Stevens on January H. 1898,
he says:
acknowledge receipt Of your valued
communication OF this day recognizing
the Hawaiian Provisional Government,
and express deep appreciation Of the
same We have conferred with the min.
listers of the late government, and have
made demand upon the marshal TO sur
render the station house. We are not
yet actually In possession Of the station
house but as night Is approaching and
our forces may be insufficient TO maintain
order, we request the immediate support
of the United States forces, etc.
W hat can the 6ery Mr.. Boutelle do for
the defense Of Stevens with that staring
him in the face but attack President
Cleveland and Secretary Gresham with
vituperation2 It seems that this
preacher-editor.p politician. Stevens, went
to Hawaii under the variegated and
irresponsible character Of a missionary,
reformer, revolutionist,
speculator and conservator
Of Blaine jingolsm. Now It was
not Minister stevens's duty to in
quire into the private life and Christian
proclivities Of Queen Liliuokslanl ans
more than it Is Ambassador Bayard
duty to lecture the Prince Of Waies
What we fear or decline to do toward
Great Britain we are too just and honor
able to do toward little Hawaii The
principle is precisely the same.
