Ohio Solons have just passed the fol-
lowing bill: THAT whoever treats or
offers TO treat another person to an in
toxicating drink. or whoever gives or
offers to give to another person an in
toxicating drink. is guilty of a misde-
meanor. and on conviction thereof shall
be fined not less than 81 nor more than
So and the costs Of prosecution for the
first offense. and for the SECOND ofIense
under the provisions of this act he
shall be fined not less than SO nor more
than s. and the costs of prosecution.
and for the third offense under the pro-
visions of this act he shall be fined not
less than $40 nor more than $50 and the
costs Of prosecution" one half of the
fine goes TO the informer and the other
half to the school fund. And this bin
has actually passed! Under II a man

ROUGH ON TRANSFORMERS.

The announcement that the passen-
ger agents of railroads west of Chicago
have decided to abolish the two-cent
members or more, probably means that
transformers will be driven from the
West completely. Some OF the theatre
cal managers now in New York city
are quoted as saying that they will
abandon their contemplated tours of
the West next winter. They say that
only first-class companies can afford to
pay the increased rate, and only the
larger cities can be visited. AS one of
them puts II: ANY talk on the part
of managers of combining against the
railroads is absurd. Theatrical men
must pay the shot or else not send out
companies. The only way to profit by
a combination is to arrange tours, so
that special trains can be chartered
and several managers share the ex-
pense There are many. western cities
in which first-class ccmpani, play only
one night Those cities will have to be
abandoned from routes, because, under
the increased rate, the expense would
be too great to warrant limited stay"
The loss of the transformers is not
sc serious a deprivation that the West
cannot survive IL. The wedding out of
the attractions" that visit Montana
will do no harm. First-class compa-
MES en- route to or from the coast will
always find 1t profitable to stop off at
Butte and Anaconda. there is no doubt
about that And then again the west
ern railroads may restore the two-cent
rate sooner than the theatrical people
think.

About the only hope left to the oppo-

story of how in former conventions

however, did not always follow. In 1884

started with 1874 votes, lacking rs of the

however. Mr. Sherman was largely in
the lead with 229 votes, the next man
to him having only Ill. Shermans
nomination was thought certain, but
Benjamin Harrison won the prize. In
1880 Grant had his solid BOG, but wanted
70 more-which he never got. The man
who was nominated had but one vote
on the thirty-first ballot and won on
the thirty-sixth. In 1876 also Blaine
was the leader with POI, needing IS
votes to nominate him. On the last,
or seventh, ballot, he had 351 votes, or
within 20 Of the prize, but Hayes had
the combination and was nominated.

IL unless he had satisfied himself by
ample and thorough statistical inves-
tigation. But his reasonings from the
fact are more interesting than the fact
itself. In looking for the prime causes
Of crime in this country. Mr.. White
finds first of all the reckless use of the
pardoning power by governors OF
states. We may talk as much as we
please about the reformation of GRIM
inals by kind and considerable treat
ment, such as our own state convicts
mass Of criminal statistics goes to
prove the general theory that once a
criminal always a criminal. The Grim
inal instinct in a man has the tenacity
of quack grass In a garden: no matter
how complete it may appear to be
eradicated 1t will sprout up again at
the first opportunity and grow and
thrive more luxuriantly than ever.
Another powerful cause of crime in
the United States Mr.. White finds to
be the widespread criminal education
of children" especially through blood
and thunder stories, the cheap sensa-
tional literature with which the coun-
try is flooded. In these stories the pis-
tod or the knife always comes into play
in solving the tragedy. Familiarity
with the use of these weapons is bred
in the minds of the young, and this
operating together with a lust for
newspaper notoriety leads to the COM
mission of crimes which at first glance
are hardly applicable. Mr.. White also
deprecates the maudlin sentiment
which manifests itself at the time of
the trial of hardened criminals, par
ticularly murderers.
The prime remedy for this unnatural |
and not unalarming condition of affairs |
is the rigid and resolute enforcement |
of the law. When account is taken of /
the fact that in 1895 not more than one ,
in seventy-four murderers was legally /
executed, no one need wonder that
murder is increasing out of all proper
ton to the increase in population.
