in danger, owing to the infamed pas

government would protect the legations

The American legation at Picking is a
one story building that makes up in area
what it lacks in height. The Office and
parlor are both large apartments, and
the latter is handsomely furnished with
upholstered American furniture. There
is no social intercourse between the
Chinese officials and the foreign diplo-
mats. The Chinese consider an alien lit
tie better than dog, no matter whether
the alien is an envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary or not. Even
the Chinese employees of the legation
dare not speak to their masters on the
street, for if they did so they would be
cut by all their friends. China has never
had any use for foreigners. They have
forced their way in at.the point of the
bayonet, and China will treat them no
better than she is compelled to.

THERE is one feature of the Cubbison

worthy of commentator, and in which it
differs from most laws for the suppress

vided is imprisonment AS a rule the
penalty attached to laws of this character
is a fine or imprisonment, or both. The
result is that the fine is generally i'm
posed and is paid by the offender who
Immediately returns to his evil ways if

the fine system practically answers as a
license. If the offender processes to be
unable to pay his fine he is sent to Jail
from whence he is pardoned in a short
time either by the county commissioners
or the governor. Money cannot com
pensate the public for infractions of the
law but Imprisonment can prevent their

THR PARDONTNq POWER.

The matter of issuing pardons to Grim
inals needs some regulation and control
The exercise of the pardoning power has
become entirely too frequent for the
public good If crime is to be controlled
by punishment the punishment must be
sure and certain in order to accomplish
the end desired.
When to the fact that there are about
ten chances of escape TO one of convic-
ton in the courts is added the final op-
portunity for securing a pardon, it will
be seen that the law has little terror for
, the evil doer.
No pardon should be granted except
upon a e-hearing of the case before the
board of pardons, conducted in as public
a manner as the original trial, wherein
both sides shall be given full and fair
hearing. If it shall then appear that a
wrong has been done. the convict should
be released, but under no other circum-
stances
If the laws are wrong, or are too Sc
we're, they should be modified, but the
laws, whatever they are or may become,
should be enforced On this rests the
E0SD0CL WHICH 10 SAOWn W
I A rigid compliance with the criminal
code as it is written with every oppor-
tunity for the really guilty to escape, cut
| off would come much nearer maintaining
/ good order than the present system and
would in all probability suppress lynch
/ ing entirely.
Lynchings are not SO much the ex-
pressions of an outraged public as they
are the outgrowth of a doubt in the
minds of the people that the law will be
strictly enforced. They have seen the
worst criminals escape the legal conse-
quences of their crimes so many times,
either through technicalities or delays or
the pardoning power, that it is no wonder
that in desperation they sometimes take
the administration of justice into their
own hands.
Take the case of the man True for in
stance.
An effort was made to put him beyond
the reach of a pardon. The result has
proven that the judgment of the people
was right. If fifteen years of imprison-
ment was all that he deserved as Judge
Morton seems to think, then why did no
the judge make the sentence tifteer
years at first The pardoning power hal
done more to keep the prohibitory Law
on the statute books and prevent its en-
forcement, than any other one cause.

Mr. HACKBUsCH, of Leavenworth, has
introduced bill by which it is aimed to
convert the prohibitory liquor law into a
license system. It provides that the pun
ishment for violation of the present law
shall be fine or imprisonment instead of
fine and imprisonment What would fol-
low? The violator of the law when con-
victed in nine cases out of ten would be
fined. He would pay his fine and go
right ahead with his business. In fact,
it may be expected. that in most cases he
would plead guilty in order to save time
and trouble. The imprisonment penalty
is all the law has had to rely upon for its
enforcement; remove that and We might
as we'll adopt license system at once.

New YORK, Jan. 1O.-Contrasting
themselves with the immigrants from
other sections of the country, southern
ers in New York have no reason to be
ashamed of their achievements during
the quarter of a century that has elapsed
since they established permanent resi-
dence on metropolitan soil.
They began their new lives under the
most adverse conditions. When the war
ended, the majority of them were strand
ed high and dry without plan, purse or
purpose. Nearly all had been in the
heat of the struggle, and their sole capt.
tai consisted of the scars they had re-
ceived in battle and their faded suits of
gray. Nearly all of them had been
brought up among luxurious environ
ments and had enjoyed their share of in
herited family incomes, yet they knew
little or nothing of business affairs.
The time had come when it was neces-
sary to buckle down to work. What
kind of work? was the question.
The Southern Society.
AS soon as they could earn enough
money to pay the rare northWard thou
sands turned their faces to New York.
True, many were compelled to wear
their old clothes turned inside out, and
they presented anything but the natty
appearance of today, but they were not
disappointed in the welcome they re-
ceived. They found positions as clerks;
they began study in medical and law
classes A few better favored than 9TH
ers dropped into the Cotton and Produce
Exchanges, and take them all in all they
made a brilliant start. 1t is not too
much to say that they have kept neck
and neck with their rivals in the race
| ever since.
When the chance came to organize a
southern society in New York, it found

THERE has been a great deal of talk
in the truly good newspapers of America
because the Japanese "relapsed into bar
barism" and massacred the Chinese at
Port Arthur. If an American army
should enter a city of the enemy and
find the heads of their fellow country
men hanging on poles for the amusement
of the populace it is extremely likely
that they would ''relapse into barbarism'
