no matter how diligent and trustworthy,
there is insuperable difficulty to their
now being efficient instruments in pur-
suing highwaymen-to wit, want of legal
capacity to act in concert, want of q COM
mon fund, want of an executive and di-
rectlng head, and three or four rallying
points presided over by men responsible
to chief. Under our present system
each peace officer in searching for high
waymen is, so far as the theory he adopts
Is concerned, a law unto himself, and so
we find that the most diligent and con-
scientious officers, seeking to attain the
same end, are working at cross purposes.
The situation is like that of an army with
out commander, police force without
a chief, a great body of men without
directing executive. That is the whole
matter in nutshell. Moreover, as our
present haphazard, cross purpose, unsys-
temized method is the most costly that
can be fancied. and puts upon the weak
est counties the heaviest burdens. the
proposed system would be economic and
distribute the cost of apprehending high
men equitably.

ENVIRONMENT AND REFORM.

We do not think that there has been
written clearer nor more concise and
suggestive sentence in later days than
this, by the Elmira Monthly Sltnanaary-
"If you can abolish poverty. you will
also have abolished large per cent. of
crime and sin; but it is equally true that
if you can abolish crime and sin, you will
have abolished poverty"
This is SAID in denial of the proposition
that the bad condition of things is due to
our surroundings. for. says the Summary,
while this argument is attractive, and to
some may seem to solve a troublesome
problem. sit does not harmonic at all
with analysis and careful forms of
thought. 1t forgets, in its definition of
environment, that men themselves are
the most important factors of the envi-
ronment, and that, in order to wholly
change the environment one must first
change the moral attitude of men with
respect to each other"
The Summary then proceeds to argue that
competition is no more the cause of selfish
ness and avarice, than selishness and av-
arice are the causes of competition. The
present form of government is no moro
responsible for the evils of society, than
the evils of society are snswerable for the
defects 10 the present form of govern
ment.
For completeness of answer to the radi-
cal socialistic destroyers who believe
that all that is needed to bring about an
ideal state of things is to pull down the
present order and set up the rules of
conduct advocated by radical socialists,
we have seen nothing better than this,
from the same article:
Extreme poverty and crime work recipro-
cally for each others increase, or they in
crease and decrease with what may be termed
oscillations of the social pendulum; in the in
dividual, either may be primary or either
secondary; either one may precede, or be pre-
ceded by the other. 1t is as true that you must
change mems characters in order 10 change
the evils of environment as il is that you
must change the evils of environment in
order TO change mems characters. There Is
no one cause OF the evils IN society, but all
existing things are tnter-dependent condi-
tions. There is, therefore, no possibility OF
getting rid of any one of them at q single
stroke. Man is the product OF centuries OF
culture the product OF all that has gone be-
fore and Of all that now is. ANY change IN
his character must be effected gradually. The
evolution necessary TO the attainment OF any
ideal condition where poverty and crime are
eliminated must be internal as well as exter-
nal.

The lower House of Congress did itself
no credit by meeting on Washington's
birthday. There was no push of business
to Justify it. The members wrangled all
day and accomplished nothing, except to
blacken page of national history by re-
fusing at even late hour to adjourn in
honor of the day.
On the other hand. the Senate met ac-
cordiug to its custom, heard prayer serV-
ice. had the Declaration of Independence
read, and by a rising vote adjourned in
honor of the memory of Washington. So
that there was some leaven of patriotism
left in Congress to save from utter disgrace
that would have attached had both houses
refused to recognize the day.

THE RECORD UNION prints more news
daily, of more varied character, and rep
resenting wider news fields than any
other journal in the valley. All the cream
of this six and seven-column of daily tel
egraphic news, together with the living
news of all other departments, goes into
the columns Of the WEEKLY UNION,
paper of exceedingly wide general circu-
lation and unexcelled for character,
newsy quality and general desirability in
home and Office. The WEEKLY UNION is
superb paper, and worth thrice over the
price charged for it, yet for only twenty
five cents added to the price we will fur
nish withit post paid the model newspaper
OF the great West, the weekly Chicago
Inter Ocean, with it's youths quarto col
ored illustrated journal. In fact. sub
scribers to the DAILY RECoRD-UNIoN by
mail or by carrier by paying twenty-five
cents extra can have the Weekly Inter
Ocean mailed to their order. We chal-
lenge journalistic history to present an
example of an offer equal to this.

THE review now going on of the late
Transmississipi Congress results to the
great disadvantage of that body. First it
is found that the conclusions it reached
are not justified by reason, in the most of
the cases, where it expressed a positive
opinion. Second, that it was not in the
true sense a deliberative body. Third,
that it's composition has sadly degener-
ated, and has run down intellectually and
otherwise. Fourth, that the method by
which its membership was chosen did not
comply with the American idea of repre-
sentation. Finally, the proceedings of the
congress prove conclusively that the great
majority of the delegates were not even
ordinarily informed upon subjects funda-
mental to our system of government. and
our relations to other Governments.

night of the murder Hayward had told
her that he had arranged for her to meet
