the morally insane. He has unveiled
the masked epileptics of society. He
now seeks to make practica lapplica-
ton of his theories to the reform of
the existent modes and ideals OF pun
ishment. In brief. he would do away
in part with the present reformatory
policy in the case of the morally in
sane, and limit it only to the occasion
ally criminal He declares:
The criminal code has been conceived
through the study of crime as an abstrac-
ton. It must be modified by knowledge
of the criminal. There should be in II
no dream of theological expiations, which
man has no right to impose. but it should
aim solely at the defense OF society.
In the punishment OF crime the tendency
of its authors should be considered II the
author IL born criminal. he must De con-
fined for life, though the crime itself is
not great. On the other hand, crime
committed by an honest man impelled by
some strong motive should be punished
with much Indulgence, especially political
ard religious crimes, winch OFTEN only
anticipate by some centeuries the thought
of the people. All enortS al re-
form should be concentrated upon occa-
sional criminals They are the only ones
for whom much can be done.
The prison system Of the world today
is certainly not finally of penolOgy.
Only within recent years. indeed, has
a really humane and rational theory
of punishment even family dawned
upon the minds of sociologists. The
Pennsylvania and Auburn systems can
not be, however commended. styled as
in any way complete. ReformatOry
measures have failed in a number Of
respects, and love led to reactionary
advocacy of the old-fashiOned penal
ties pure and simple. The failure of
the reformatOry code has undoubtedly
/ been due to the fact that, as Professor
Lomhroso insists, there Is little use
in seeking to reform the morally in
| sane. 1t is not enough to put certain
! insane in the asylums, and leave GER
tain other insane in the prisons. The
penal code should institute a distinc-
ton, and apply the reformatory policy
to the reformable alone. Such an
| innovation would truly inaugurate a
| new era of social benefit in the history
| of crime and punishment.

deep water obtained on the Gulf OF Mex

lines of railroad running east and west.
Kansas can reach the Atlantic sea board
more cheaply and more rapidly than by

should be pointed out also that already
there is practically a water line from Chi

ever be TO transfer produce by the Gulf

CONFUSING FIGURES.

Poor's manual for 1895, just issued,
shows that the total number Of miles Of
railroad in the United States to Deem
Der 81, 1894, was 1922 1874, an in
crease Of 2,157 miles during the year.
The number of miles existing at the
close of the fiscal years of the various
companies during 1894 was 1IS,11S.l6,
on which there was capital stock of
800, 629, 07O; funded debt, S5,663, 134,-
249 and other debt 1924 226, SIS mixing
aggregate liabilities of 81 $50, 600, 207.
The capital stock and funded debt
equaled about 100000 a mile. The
total traffic earnings reported from
175. sos miles were $1,0S0, 3O5, O15, other
receipts We're $06, ,443 and operating
expenses were S757, 765, 739, leaving
$419,O16,719 available for interest, div
idendS, rentals, tolls, etc. Interest paid
on bonds was 1921. 629, 367, or some
what over per cent on the amount of
bonds outstanding. Dividends were
$50, 21S. G69. which is little under II
per cent on the amount of capital
stock of the mileage for which reports
were received.
Such enormous sums considered in
the abstract and in the absence of COM
PARSONS are little short of confusing.
but they show the immensely of the
investment upon which interest and
dividends are attempted to be earned.
IN fifteen years from 1850 TO 1894,
inclusive, the mileage of railroads in
the United States has increased from
03.726 miles. The total investment in
these properties, represented by their
capital stocks, funded and floating
debts, increased in the same time from
S4,S12, 01I,517 to S11,124, 930.55l, equal
to 1919 per cent. The average in
crease in mileage per year was 624S
miles; of invested capital, SAG, $50, 902.
The average capitalization per mile in
1879 was S51,730, as against SG2,45S in
1891
In the first five years OF this period
the mileage increased 1879 miles, or

WICHITA A SPECIAL VICTIM.

Judge Buck, of the Winfield Tribune,
was in Wichita this week and he says 1T
gave US an opportunity 10 view the wreck,
the misery and general Generalization
caused by attempted enforcement of the
prohibitory law. Among business men
there is but one sentiment. Whether pro-
hibition is good or bad. the way in which
the city is being managed is more disas-
trous than the panic. A great many
houses are vacant and taxpayers are be-
ing mulct in hundreds of dollars of ex-
pense in the attempt 10 erect a standard
of morality by minority among the me-
jority opposed to it."-ArkansaS City
Traveller.
What We said about Wichita is abso-
lutely true and in our judgment is the re-
suit of spasmodic enforcement of law.
These periodical moves of moral force do
not lessen crime, but provide resistance
that disarranges business, increases taxa
ton and finally allows things TO drift
back into regular channels. OF all the
whisky towns in the state. Wichita today
is the special victim.-Winfield Tribune.
