Tho Rights Of Society in the Treatment Of
Criminals.

If the courts continue to deal more and
more lightly with offenders against society
the time may come when their duties will
be limited to the distribution of chromos,
and the real work of REFRESHING crime be
relegated to vigilance committees. The
astounding increase in the number of
lynchings In this country, Is merely the
reaction from growing tendency upon
the part of courts of justice to condone
crime Juries often fail to convict when
they should, and when they do. judges
more often in imposing sentences fail to
make the punishment fit the crime"
There is undeniably a growing DISPOSE
tion among the people of this country to
take the law into their own hands They
have lost confidence in the court. Cranks
OF tho Altgeld order-social anarchists
have arisen to abuse the pardoning
power. Lynchings are no longer confined
to the southern states. They are becoming
painfully frequent in states that have
heretofore been amcnable to Jaw and
order. There can be no doubt but what
our judicial system, In its methods OF
dealing with criminals is woefully de-
floient. IL the accused has means con-
viotion is an exceedingly difficult thing
to secure. His case is fought for year
or two through labyrinth of legal
processes, at great expense to the tax
payers. Then there Is always the insanity
plea-and many good people hold that all
criminals are maniacs, and even hypnotism
he's heen urged in some cases of late In
mttisation of crime. If the culprit is
finally held to answer for his offence
acainst society the way OF the persecution
has been both wearlsomel and expensive.
The Frenchs method Of dealing with
criminal cases appears to bea vast i'm
proyement over that in vogue In this ceun-
try. There Is certainly a large opportunity
z for reform here. There are many problems
In our social evolution that call for care
full study, but none moro important than
that which pertains to the treatment Of
our criminal classes. Some would MAKE
the penalties of the law more stringent
others would regard crime as q disease
and treat il by reformatory methods.

He began raising fruit tree seedlings
Nurserymen and others bought them to

added the planting of forest tree seeds.
The resulting sprouts he raised and kept
till they were year old. selling them
for planting on the western prairies.
Finally he took contracts for planting
the ground himself with the tree seed

Kansas he set out more than 8. 600, 900

When Silver Was ut a Premium.

When Silver Was at Premium.
The Paris correspondent of The En-.
gineering and Mining Journal has been
investigating the status Of silver with
reference to gold in France during the
80 years previous to 1873. He finds that
in all this time the white metal was at
premium over the yellow. He writes:
In memoir just published M. de Foville
calls attention to the fact, which many have
forgotten that for number Of years before
1872 silver was actually at aprenium- is,
Its selling price was higher than the estab-
Nshed coming ratio with gold. This premium
on the Paris bourse averaged 9. II in 1852. The
average then increased to 1876 In 1857, fell
with many fluctuations to 1928 in 1861 and IL IS
in 1855. rose sharply TO 1927 in 1885, fell back
to 9.lS in 1853 and finally rose to 25.48 In 1911
> In 1872 1t was 1888. and in 1873 the premium
misrepresentation is, silver was then worth
just about its coinage value according TO our
established ratio <l55 to y as compared with
gold From 1873 the white metal has been at
a discount, which increased gradually until
last year, when the fall was sharply accentu-
Eeed, as you well know. The figures given
above ere in each case tho average premium.
