CRIMINAL ASSAULT.
A DefenseIess Woman Overpowered
by Brute.

DY q
officer Hayes brought to the police
station last night woman named Mrs.
Turner, who says she was the victim of q
fiendish assault in the alley between
Fifth and Sixth, X and L streets, last
night.
Mrs. Turner says she recently arrived
in this city with her husband to pick
hops on one of the ranches near town,
and her husband having a few dollars
went Oh spree.
She went IN search of him last night,
and in front of the Fashion Stable on *
street, between Fifth and Sixth, asked a
man who was standing there to point out
to her certain Iodging-house that she
desired to go to, but could not find.
The man, who afterward told her that
he was a special policeman, volunteered
to assist her in finding the place, but in
stead of doing so took her down Fifth
street, and when opposite the alley be-
tween x and L forced her into the alley
and there, under threats of violence, at
tempted TO assault her.
Mrs. Turner. who is small woman,
said she attempted to break loose from
the man, but he overpowered her.

The Largest Bible.

The largest Bible in the word is in the
Vatican. 1t is q manuscript Bible,
and written in Hebrew. The book
weighs $40 pounds, and there is a history
connected with it. Some Italians Jews
obtained view of the precious volume
and told their coreligionists of Venice of
it. The consequence was that a syndi-
cate of Venetians endeavored to purchase
1t, offering the Pope the weight of the
book in gold as the price. Pope Julius
IL, however, refused the offer At the
present price of gold the offer was one of
no less than S360,000. This is the largest
price ever known to have been offered
for book.

PUNISHMENT OF CRIME.
The Only Way to Bring ABOUT Re-
formation.


Judge Henry l.. Edrnunds of the ST.
Louis Criminal Court has noted the fact
in his experience as Judge that fully 90
per cent. of the criminals who come be-
fore him are under Is years of age and the
great majority of them are under %. Il
believe,n he said the other day, ''thau the
criminal career stops at about the age of
% years. That is, l believe that, in ninety
nine cases out of one hundred, older
criminals have for two good reasons lost
the temptation TO commit crime which
beset them in the beginning. One reason
is that by the time they are 25 years old,
having begun their career say at 16 years
of age, they have been detected, arrested
and punished several times, serving
probably workhouse term and one or
two penitentiary sentences. This initself
is deterrent, and the other reason is that
men over % are not as reckless as
younger men. They have lost much of
their regardleSsness of consequences,
they have learned by experience that
punishment surely awaits them, they
have perhaps married and established
some sort of home, and they are willing
to abandon crime if it is possible to do
so."
Judge Edmunds has observed that
iuries are often deceived by the youthful
ness of criminals on trial, and their SYM
pathies being excited, not infreqnently
acouit where they should convict This
lenity, he declares, results almost invari-
ably in turning a criminal loose for re-
newed lawlessness. In every a case a
man or boy thus released will come be-
fore the court again charged with fresh
offenses The Judge is not much of a
believer in the reformation of criminals
by moral suasion, and he rather leans
toward making the first sentence severe
enough to act as deterrent after the re-
lease of the prisoner. On this point he
says: ST believe that man once GRIM
inal is always a criminal, so far as ten
dency is concerned. Repeated and GER
tain punishment following crime may
cause an abandonment of crime, but it is
the result of fear of consequences, not of
reformation, in the true sense, that
makes man of criminal record cease be-
ing a criminal"

The statistics of the Census Bureau
with respect to the burden Of mort
gage indebtedness-the heaviest Of all
charges upon the property and indus
try of the country-are well .h an
alyzing for the exact meaning Of the
information that they convey. In the
aggregate, this form of indebtedness
reaches the enormous sum of 81, 1885,
455, 1895, os which one-third is on farm
lands and two-thirds on city and town
property. This will surprise those
who know nothing about the matter
except what has been TOLD them by
PopuIist orators and newspapers. The
calamityites represent that most Of
the mortgages stand for money that
has been borrowed By tue farmers,
whereas the truth is that the dwellers
IN cities and towns owe almost three
dollars where the farmers owe one
dollar. Ii is easy to see By plain
comparison that the men who own
farms have far less reason to complain
of membranes than those who own
other real estate; and it is also well
known that the latter have infinitely
the larger degree Of taxation to pay
on their property. Facts Of this kind
are never found in the literature Of
the Populist; and yet they are Of sur
passing importanc. in the honest dis
cussion Of tho subject.

GOOD For Carlisle.

THAT fossilized politician of the
Silurian age, Carl Schurz, is shocked
at "the antics of the giddy you'll"
Logan Carlisle, for his removals Of
Republicans and appointments Of
Democrats in the Treasury Depart
ment. In the last issue of Harper's
Weekly he writes: 1T is an unpleas-
ant duty to record the fact that the
Treasury Department under the pres
ent administration, is Distinguishing
itself by certain wicked levity in
the treatment of the Civil Service
law" And then to point out the
wicked leyity' he adds: During
the first six months Of young Logan
Carlisle's control of the Civil Service
of the Treasury Department, there
were no less than Al removals and SO
reductions; and the persons SO remov-
ed or reduced were almost all, if not
exclusively, Republicans, while those
advanced in the places of the reduced
ones were almost all Democrats.
The old man is surely living in the
past. He does not know that this is
progressive age, and that it requires
the energy of hero Of former times
to make an ordinary man Of the pres
ent day. Mr.. Carlisle is backed by
the spirit of the age in which he lives,
and is the beau ideal of the progress
i've Democracy Of to-day. Whenever
he makes removals and appointments
his party most cordially approves, for
there are but a blessed few who could
be removed but Republicans, as nearly
all the places were filed By Republi-
cans when their party was in power.
Mr.. Carlisle has the heartiest endorse
ment of his party for every removal
he makes, and he would be doubly en-
dorsed if he could wipe out forever
that Objectionable Civil Service law
! from the statutes.

Tuesdays elections. This to many
will be surprising. She is a large sill
yer producing state, and her municip-
al elections followed so close upon
the Presidents veto of the seignior-
age bill, it was expected, generally,
that Republicans and Populists would
make heavy gains. But not so. The
Democrats won the day with gains in
every town in which an election was
held.
This is particularly pleasing and
grateful to The NEWS 1t is proof TO
our friends, the enemy, that there is
not that decentralization in our party
ranks which they have been counting
upon-that the party is still true to
its principles and that its confidence
in the President-in his honesty in
what he believes to be right and
and proper, is mistaken by anything
which has come to us in these latter
days and troublous times. This en-
dorsement given Mr. Cleveland and
his administration may in point Of
numbers appear small when compared
with the votes in more populous states,
but coming from a mining state where
opposition was expected and looked
for, it is one that should be apprecia-
ted as was the "wldow's mite" when
cast into treasury.

The Democrats have at present q
clear half of the Senate. With Adlai
at his post, stalwart guardian Of the
Democratic interests and never divert
ed from his duty to the party OF the
Constitution either by the mutter OF
mugwumps or the quacking Of ducks,
the Democratic supremacy is safe
against the ragings of the Republi-
cans, the buster Of the Populists or
the uneoined vacuum Of three cipheTs
from the great Northwest.
To retain their lead the Democrats
must either secure the retention OF
Democrats in the u states where va
cancies exist, or they must make up
foi possible losses BY gains from the
Republican column. Delaware may
swing back in the Democratic column
but otherwise the Republicans seem
unduly secure, though the substitution
Of Populists for Republicans in two
or more Of the western states, where
the silver question still figures as an
issue, would not be surprising.
Win the Democrats retain power
enough in the states which will elect
Senators for the second half OF Mr..
Cleyeland's term to keep Democrats
on guard without fear Of the capture
Of enough seats BY the Republicans
TO give them control? We think 20.

With regard to the first case. ii
might be replied, perhaps, BY skepti-
cal persons, that the dog was more
likely to be able to distinguish the
special whistle Of the engine which
drew the 500 train than to know il
by the hour Of the day. And yet the
writer has no sort Of doubt that dogs
do know when a certain hour arrives
at which something regular and accus-
toned takes place. The second case
seems to prove this very thing. There
is a case on record in which doctor,
who was accustomed to visit certain

day each week, always found a dog Of
his acquaintance waited for him out

the dog never came to the place AZ any

case is that animals are susceptible II
