Sanitation Cure For Crime.

Judge Duffy, in recent article in the New
York Sunday Mercury, says: II believe to
some extent that crime is hereditary, but that
does not account for the volume of crime that
exists, Criminals, as a general thing, do not
raise families, and if no criminals were manu-
featured then the hereditary line would soon
die out. Instead of doing so they are on the in
crease to higher degree than is the population
What ought to be done is to take measures to
prevent the manufacture of criminals. To this
end we want better sanitation in the dwellings
of the poor increased moral, mental and manual
instruction. and. above all, find something to
keep everybody busy Free lectures, reading
rooms, etc. diminish crime to a certain extent
but the crowded tenements and ten-cent lodging
houses counterfeit all the good done by the
former. Such lodging houses have caused more
restitution and crime than any agency I am
aware of. Foul air is known positively
to poison the blood, and it is fully as we'll known
that impure blood will effect the mind, make it
dull and morbid and predispose it to crime, be-
cause the fine. keen sense of right and wrong be-
comes deadened by the disease. How often do
we hear the expression that a man or woman did
not realize what they were doing until after the
deed was done? The stress of the situation
perhaps imprisOnment-in which they then find
themselves rOuses up some remnant of that keen
sense of right and wrong which impure air.
breathing and poisoned blood has stified

Are Criminals Born or Made.

That fine Italian gentleman, Professor Caesare
LombrOso, has proved to his own perfect salts
faction that the criminal is such by virtue of
having been born with certain shaped head
and hand. Mr.. w. M. F. Round, secretary of
the National Prison Reform association, scouts
the idea of Professor LombrosO. He declares
the influence OF heredity among criminals has
been exaggerated till it has assumed the pro-
portions of a sickly sentimentality. criminal
is not monster to be slain or an unfortunate
creature to be petted. He is a man like other
men, except that he objects decidedly to working
for his living, preferring to prey upon other men
for that. He must be caught and punished with
the utmost severity, says Mr.. Round, writing in
The Forum.
The writer's idea of the utmost severity must be
explained, however. What punishment would
the criminal regard as the severeSt that could be
inflicted on him? In brief making him work
for his living. That is the punishment Mr.
Round demands in order to rid society per-
manently of its dangerous classes. He does not
believe IN sentences to warehouses and peni-
tentiareS for a definite length of time. The
sentence should be of the class called indetermn-
ate-that is, the convict should be imprisoned
till he learns some trade and is ready and willing
to work at it for his living the rest of his days.
Mr. Round admits the influence of heredity only
in cases of the individual having been born
physically weak or defective
There is a manly robustness and drectness
about this way of looking at the criminal
question that is refreshing after the dosing we
have had with maudlin sentimentalisms that
would fairly make a hero of a thief and murderer
and consider no quarters too luxurious for his
accommodatiOn.-EX.

The Punishment for Crime.

The laws for the punishment of crime in this
country are burning disgrace to American
civilization. They were framed at time when
public opinion looked upon a transgressor as a
creature hardly fit to live and utterly beyond the
reach OF Kindness or any of the Softenng in
huences of tender heart With this feeling of
hatred, laws were enacted that visited yerv
severe puniShmentS for slight attractions and
reclamation of the guilty was never considered
In carrying them out. Occasionally a kind
hearted judge felt he was doing his conscience
an injustice in prOnouncing sentence which he
knew was out of all proportion to the Offense
committed, but the law left him no discretion
and the prisoner was obliged to serve a long
sentence for a trivial Infringement
New York has her share of these unjust enact
ments. While much has heen done to lift up
the fallen and to have the errlng Just entering
upon career of crime mend their ways nothing
has been undertaken to abolish the laws which
have made confirmed criminals of thousands.
who, If they had been justly treated could have
been reclaimed and made useful citizens instead
OF unrelenting foes of society. The youthful law
breakers can be turned from evil inclinatiOns by
kindness, by encouraging Words by helpful
action. He can never be saved by the heartless
verdict of courts cOnsigning him to prison for
the best years of his life.
Moved by the wrongs permitted by these cruel
statutes, Gov. Flower has interested himself in
the matter and an investigation has been insti-
tuted which promises excellent results to the
cause of humanity. The Governor was startled
at the miscarriage of justice in dealing with the
loWly and unfortunate who had no means of OBJ
tanning fair hearing, and who were condemned
to long imprisonment on slight. provocatOn
One OF these was young man who stole food
for his starving family and was committed to
prison several years for it. Another was Thomas
II. Teddy, who forged an order for S. hat and
although it was his first offense he was SEN
fenced to 10 years imprisonment. Already there
are 20 cases of this kind brought to light and the
investigation has not been concluded The
Governor VIII pardon the prisoners and will
recommend to the Constitutional Convention
which will shortly meet to revise our laws, that
those governing the good order of the people be
altered that justice alone will be served in
Furnishing the transgreSsors
This change can be affected without affOrdnp
any encouragement to the hopelessly wayward
who war upon society at every opportunity and
who deserve the punishment that comes with a
lifetime behind the bars. On them clemency
would be wasted and kindness a premium to
prey upon their fellow-bengs. But for those
who have been diverted from the path of recitude
under great provocatiOn, who are naturally right
minded and who deplore the consequences of
the act the revised laws will deal leniently with
them and the return to righteous living will be
the logical sequence of their adoption.-Utica

A Sisters Love,

A touching story of SiStery devotion has been
brought to light by the visit of Miss Kate L.
Kennedy, to her brother, Charles Kennedy, a
life term convict at Michigan City, Ind. Kennedy
was received at the pententiary in 1884. con-
victed of murder. Nine years have elapsed
since Miss Kennedy entered upon what she
declared to be he mission of her life. There has
been apparently no obstacle too great for her to
overcome, no sacrifice that she would not make
in the cause to which she has already devoted
the best years OF her young life. With tears in
her eyes she has appealed to governors, United
States senators and congressman There was
none who did not give heed to her sOrrowful
plea, but the letters which she had obtained in
support of her appeal for executive cemency
have apparently been without effect. Her pur-
pose has been persistently pursued through
every administration since that of Governor
Gray. Hope long deferred has only given her
strength to continue her efforts
Her travels have taken her to Washington
where, in the capitol building she found many
who were touched by her simplicity of manner
and the earnest prayer which she breathed for
assistance to swing open the prison gate and bid
disgraced brother once more enjoy liberty.
Senator Hill was visited at Albany by the
youthful petitioner. From New York, Miss
Kennedy travelled to Harrisburg where Govern
or Pattison freely granted her an interview.
Thence she went to Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and
other states. Prominent newspaper men.
preachers and lawyers have supplemented her
pleading for mercy. .
Her belief of her brothers innocence has
prompted work in other directions. Soon after
Kennedy entered upon his term of imprisonment
Miss Kennedy adopted masculine attire, and for
weeks tramped about the slums and frequented
the gambling houses of Cincinnati in search of
evidence which could be made the basis for an
application for a rehearing. She found it
HOPELESS task to establish her brothers innocence,
though her faith never wavered. Governor Mat
thews has promised careful consideration of the
case.-La Porte Ind.) Cor. Chicago Record.

A Brakeman's PRAYER.

Oh, Lord. now that have tagged thee. lift my
feet from off the rough road of life and plant
them firmly on the deck of salvation! Let me
use the safety lamp known as prudence, make
all the couplings with the strong links of love.
and let my hand lamp be the Bible. And, Heav-
emily Father, keep all switches closed that lead
off on the sdngs; especially those with blind
end. o Lord, if it be Thy WILL please have every
semaphore block along the end show the white
run of hope, so that | can make the run of life
without stopping. And, Lord. give us the ten
commandments as a schedule, and when have
finished the run, and have, on schedule time,

Life Imprisonment for a Horse.

horse belonging to Wilbur DennisOn of
Clinton died Sunday. Mr.. Dennson bought the
horse 10 years ago, then a fine bay and beautiful
paying good sum for the animal. He was five
years old. Mr.. Dennson made the purchase in
the spring and worked the horse ON the farm
through the summer, and put him in the stable
in early fall. He did not use him again until the
following spring. On hitchng him to the wagon
the horse ran, breaking the wagon and doing
considerable damage. Mr.. Dennison returned
him to the stable where he has been for the last
II years, until death put an end to his career.
Mr.. Dennison placed a large paddock Oh the
door, and at no time unlocked it, the horse being
fed and watered through the Manager. A citizen
who visited the place Sunday morning says the
