SINCE Major Pangborn became a pro-
fessional penologist by ukase of Cover
nor Werts, the editorial columns of the
Journal" have, from time TO time, been
adorned with highly original specimens
of his views upon penal questions. There
was a choice one on Saturday. 1t was
too long for quotation here in FULL. But
it would be a pity not to quote a SEN
tence or two, as examples of the mod
ern enlightenment. which may be ex-
pected to Illuminate the report of our
great Commission ON the Criminal Law.
Here are a few characteristic sem
tences:-

hat the use of dynamite for causing
explosions and wrecks that imperil hui
man life, and the setting. on fire of prem
ises, in which peoples lives will be en-
dangered by the confagration, should
also be declared to capital crimes.
We hardly think the Major will find
any recognized authority ON crimes and
punishment to agree with him that
death is THE appropriate remedy for
even so dreadful an offense as this,
committed by boys of sixteen.
The best opinion will probably hold
that the boys lacked the moral respon-
ssbility to render such a punishment
just. 1t would probably be thought. too,
that putting them to death would Ntend
to rather h prevent. imi-
tations of their act.

Pastor Seudder Denounees the
Conduct Of the Ottoman
Nation.

In the Tabernacle last night Rev. r..
l.. Scudder gave a prelude on the Turk
ish atrocities in Armenia. He said
"This is Thanksgiving week and hap
piness is supposed to be the reigning
sentiment, but in view of the wholesale
and continued butchery of fellow Chris
tians in Asiatic Turkey, of widespread
piIlage and arson and fiendish assault
upon defenseless women, we ought to
make it a week of universal mourning
and fasting and prayer, of vehement pro-
test from every platform and pulpit in
the land. The proper attire for our
THANKSGIVING dinner this year is not a
dress suit. but sack cloth and ashes.
moi only nave unoffending Armenians
been butchered by the thousands, but
the impueent Turk has burned our mis-
sion stations and American men and
women have been compelled to fee with
their lives in their hands. If we have
a spark of sympathy in our brests our
laughter and ~merrymaking at this sea-
the dying and the bitter walls of sur
vivors whose wretched condition in many
cases is worse than death. me sacken-
ing details which the newspapers have
given us during the past few weeks have
thrown a gloom over our spirits. n as
these atrocities Increase we cry out, in
dSQiy. hOIQ. uOW Ol6
"And what surprises us as much as
the cruelty of the Turks is the long
continued Indifference of so-called Chris
tan nations. Our own government and
the great powers of Europe look on APP
parently with stony gaze and do moth
ing. And the willy Turks, encouraged by
this apathy. nave multiplied their afro
cities until killing Christians has become
a sort of epidemic, and the life of a
follower of Jesus is not worth the snap
of your finger. This century has not
witnessed a more shocking state of at
fairs, n It is a burning disgrace. to
Christian nations that it has been toler-
ated so long.
s"The time has come for this diabolical
Ottoman Empire to give up the ghost
and for the nations of Europe to gather
round the table and have roast Turkey
for dinner. That would be a Thanks
giving worth talking about. The Turkish
Government has forfeited its right to
exist and by common consent It ought
to be obliterated from the earth. The
principle of human brotherhood demands
it's immediate dissolution"

a Rspub,ican Financial Lie.

uf n
Major Pangborn made the most of one
of his few remaining opportunities for
misleading the public on Saturday by
dishing up a ridiculous fallacy about the
recent bond issues. which the New York
f~alsehood mongers have launched on the
country. The Major puts the lie tersely
and pointedly thus
The government has been forced to
borrow money to issue new national
bonds, to increase the national debt
natlanai revenue yoless and the consequent in
ability of the treasury to meet us cur
rent obligations. to pay its debts
1t is strange that any one should pre-
sumo so far on the gullibihty of the peo-
pie as to advance a proposition like this.
The REPUTATION is SO obvious that dt
must ins~tantaneously occur to every one.
The government has now and has had
throughout the period of the bond IS
sues. somewhere in the neighborhood OF
five hundred millions of dollars in silver,
which is legal tender for all its liabid-
ties. If the question were merely one
Of meeting current obligations. there
would be an unique opportunity for fore
ing into circulation this incubus which
John sherman n h Republican party
have imposed upon the people.
But the question was not one Of meet
ing any obligation whatever except that
Of maintaining the credit of the nation
by pouring out gold as fast as its paper
was presented.

The Third Term idea In New Jersey
The "Herald" gravely that
Grover Cleveland is the favorite among
New Jersey Democrats for the Presiden-
tial nomination next year. The Her
ald' is certainly misinformed. The re-
spect and esteem in which the President
is held by Thoughtful and honest Demo-
Gratis is in no way impaired; but there
is an invincible feeling against the third
term idea, firstly or the ground OF pa
triotism, and secondly on the ground OF
policy. No Democrat of the Cleveland
stamp think the country would be di-
rectIy endangered by the reelection Of
Cleveland. On the contrary, if it were a
second term issue, there would be as
strong an organized movement in his
favor as there was in 1892. But the cleo
tion of anyone to a third term would es-
tablish a precedent, and the next to seek
one might be a man like Grant, with die
tatorial tendencies and a crew behind
him like Conkling and Simon Cameron,
rabid for Strong government" There
fore it is Democrats of the Cleveland
stamp, the men Who think not only of
the present but the future, who are par
ticularly opposed to any more Cleveland
in the White House.
The proposition is recognized, anyway,
as an absolute absurdity. If Grover
Cleveland were renominated, he would
the Cleveland papers. He would not poll
five per cent. of the vote of the country.
We do not believe he would carry one
State in the Union, and this is not be-
cause he is Grover Cleveland. If the
Angel Gabriel were seeking a third term,
we do not believe he could carry one
State, in the present temper of the Amer
lean people, or poll five per cent. of the
popular vote. In this State of New Jer-
consideration would be set aside, and the
State would give a hundred thousand
majority against the third term candidate
on that issue alone.
Be it remembered that while we say
this. The News is a Cleveland paper,
through and through. 1t regards the
President as the most patriotic, just and
clear sighted statesman that the country
now possesses or has possessed since
Abraham Lincoln, and it can find no i'm
portant act in his administration which
is not deserving of admiration and sup
port,
