The New Army.

New YORK, March l2.-Balllngton
Booth is preparing 10 organize an
army of his own, on national lines, as
soon as he can effect an organization
in this city. He said today that
Chicago would be one of his first OBJ
jectiye points, when through with
New York, and that he had received
letters from prominent Salvationists
OF Chicago, requesting that the new
army come West. When Booth will
extend his new command, he could
not say, but thought possibly in a
week or more.
In regard to the manifesto Of his
father, General Booth, published yes
terday, saying that he intended to
conduct the army irrespective OF per-
sonal feelings, Ballington said he had
never asked any favors from the head
but had been subject to
the same rules as Others. No name Is
yet given the new command.

IT Is almost incredible that in the
latter days of the nineteenth century a
man can be imprisoned for debt at the
instance and expense of his creditor.
Yet such an incident has just occurred
in Illinois. A few years ago firm be-
came bankrupt, the numerous creditors
received about three per cent. of the
amount due. A certain company in
New York secured judgment of 49,,
500 in a United States court against
the parties that had failed, and under
the state law the latter were arrested
for nonpayment of the judgment. APP
plicatiOn for Writs of habeas corpus to
the Supreme court was made, and that
tribunal has just denied the applica-
ton. Upon the receipt of $3.50 from
the creditors to pay the first week
board, the U. S. marshal placed one of
the debtors in Jail, and for the next six
months, if the board bill is paid
promptly, the defendant will have this
period to mediate upon the queer
phases of our laws. At the expiration
of this time an application in insol
vency will release him. This is Ger
tainly due process of law.

IT MUST be acknowledged that the

IT MUST be acknowledged that the
State of New York leads every other
State in the Union in regard to legis-
lation on pathological matters. Broad
mindedness in everything that pertains
to reformation is the leading charac-
teristic of the enactmentS. In 1889 the
entire prison laws were revised and
codified, and now it is proposed to ex-
tend the reformatory principle still
further, as will be seen by the follow
ing which we clip from the Lansing
(Kan) Neacs:
The legislature of the State of New
York has under consideration plan
for caring for criminal classes which
includes the proposition to send men
convicted of their first Offense to prison
for very short term isolating them
from other classes of criminals, for
second offense a longer term, and for
the third violation Of law not less than
a ten year sentence, to be followed by
parole. Should this plan be adopted,
Sing Sing prison would be first grade
prison or refOrmatory for adults. Va
rious industries would be taught and a
military battalion formed. Auburn
prison would rank in the second grade,
and Clinton prison would be the place
for final punishment. 1t would have
in connection with it departments for
the cure of insane and weak-minded
convicts; for those suffering from tu-
bercular disease and for the execution
of condemned criminals. The estab
lishment of an employment bureau, a
system to pay convicts for their work
and an enlargement of the powers OF
the prison commission are included IN
the plan. 1t is also proposed to trans
fer the pardoning power to nOn-par
tisan board consisting of the governor
the pardon clerk, one member of the
state board of charities, one member OF
the prison commission, and Judge OF
the Supreme court. The governor
would retain the power of reprieve
and no pardon or communication would
be valid unless receiving his signature
But the board would examine case
applying for special communication o
absolute pardon, and it would be il
their power to commute sentences o
grant absolute pardon. They woul(
also have power to recommend for
new trial by the original court any cas-
of life sentence where new evidenc
has come to light.

ence, as reformatory, about twelve
years, and has followed closely the line
of the Elmira reformatory, which is
the great experimental institution of
this kind in the United States. Per

it can be reached in no other way than
this. Thore isno room for disagreement
on this point. Men divide nationally
and instinctively on quite another and
more radical question-that of whether
the Largest possible freedom for all''
is desirable. All are agreed that the
highest desideratum of politics is the
largest possible freedom for themselves,
but beyond that there is every shade
and variety of opinion, curious al
ways, and often saddening and dis
cOuraging, in its varied manifesta-
tions. In his heart every true Amer
lean believes that the largest possible
freedom for all is the greatest good
on which everything else that is desir-
able depends.
Though hundreds of intelligent and
unselfish Americans have held this as
reasonable belief; though many
thousands have held it and acted on it
as an instinct, the multiplication of
enactments has been enormous. Town
boards, city councils, state legislatures,
national congresses have constantly
multiplied prescriptions for the indi-
vidua's conduct of life by the score,
by the hundred, by the thousand, until
it is impossible for any life to be con-
Quoted according to the rules thus laid
down. There is no idolator of statu.
tory prescription, however ardent his
idolatry, who does not perforce con
stantly disregard the rules of conduct
thus prescribed, and just in proportion
as these rules interfere unnecessarily
and arbitrarily with the enjoyment OF
what he believes to be his just anC
reasonable rights is his respect for the
restraint prescribing or law-makine
power diminished. This multiplied
ton of laws interfering with the rea
sonable liberties of the people in every
department of life, is prolific sourct
of discomfort and disturbance.-Min

ing:
Among the carefully preserved docu-
ments in the state-house, bearing the
imposing autograph Of Gov. John Han
cock. is an order to Sheriff Joseph Hen
derson, dated October 9Th, 1889, to hang
Rachael Wall. The woman, so the
court records show, was walking on
the highway on the evening of March
18th of that year, when with "bodily
force she assailed Margaret Bender
and tore from her head her bonnet
'valued at seven shillings, which she
did carry away against the public
peace of the commonwealth" There
are also hints of ''sundry other thefts,
and the sentence of execution was car
ried out October Goth. 1889, few days
before Washington paid his memorable
visit to Boston.

THE current number of the Nine
tenth Century contains an article on
the recent investigation of the prison
system in England in which the author
Sir Algernon West, says he sees in it
some things to commend, and some
things he cannot commend in the pris-
ons of England cat the present time
prisoners are no doubt we'll and kindly
treated, but they are treated as mere
numbers, or as component parts of a
great machine" To this, Mr.. West
takes exception. He admired the sys-
tenn, the perfection, the neatneSS of 1t,
and in many respects the kind treat
ment of prisoners; but when he looked
below the surface, his heart and his
judgment condemned it. There is a
lack Of humanity in it. 1t is not
enough that these men are fed with
wholesome food and kept in order
That comes far short of a Christian
system. A prisoner is man, and he
must be treated as one A man is

The above is equally applicable t(

The Largest Liberty Essential.

The intellectual movement which
resulted in the development of the
present American social and indus
trial civilization had its earliest mani
festations in strong reaction against
multiplication of statutes. The
great intellectual leaders of the early
part of this century believed that men
should have their conduct prescribed
by statutes only so far as statutes pro-
hibited crime. The government they
hoped for was one that would police
the country SO as to prevent men from
wronging and hurting each other, leav-
ing them "otherwise Free" unimpeded
and unhelped by government. Two
reasons presented themselves most
prominently as the premises of this
conclusions; the one that men are bet
ter and stronger and more helpful to
each other when they are obliged to be
self-reliant; the other, that, as it is i'm
possible for the government to be of
positive help to all, it cannot help any
one except at the expense of some
other one, if it transcends it's proper
sphere of merely preventing wrong
from being done.
The feeling through which these
principles were developed are inbred
in English speaking people. The peo-
pie of England, however brutally op-
pressive to others, have for centuries
governed themselves by their common
sense, and as they have enlarged Their
liberties by restricting the preroga
tives of the crown, they have done
this more and more. The common
law proper of the English people is
nothing more than their common sense
or general agreement that one thing is
right and another wrong. 1t is thell
public opinion, as embodied in theil
free and unrestrained actions, Otter
enough repeated to become customs
1t is law which governs until it is re
pealed by special act of legislation
Inheriting this system as an instinct
our earlier statesmen had it strength
ened and still further developed il
them by the intellectual movement t.
which France had been awakened b.
the great thinkers 81 England, Ger
many and Holland. We started will
the idea of having a stable, common
; sense or common law" government
in which the common sense of freel.
, reached general conclusions Of propri
ETY. and right should be set aside a
rarely as possible by statute law en-
acted by mere majorities.
1t is obvious to all who think at al
: on such subject chat if uhe larges
possible free'cr is ever to be reache.
