Disinfection is the destruction of the

Last evening about 7:30 o'clock a
Mexican approached a son of Police
Officer Henry J. Springer on River
avenue near Limburger's garden and
asked him if he had seen a Mexican
in that vicinity. Just then a Mexican
was seen driving in a cart with sew

toward the city,, when the Mexican
who was seeking information pulled
a 44-calibre pistol and fired two shots
at the Mexican in the cart. Whether
the bullets took effect or what the
difficulty was about was not learned.

NEW ENGLAND COUNTRY LIFE RE-
NEWED

The decline Of rural New England is
a topic that has been much discussed
ooth in essay and in fiction. The
dreary aspect of the abandoned farms
and the practically deserted villages
has been painted in the gloomiest of
colors. but in general the subject il
dropped with a presentation of tho
present state Of decay The future is
left to the Imagination of the indi-
vidual. 1t is to this fact that a paner
by Alvan Sanborn in the Atlantic owes
much of it's interest. He treats Of the
fall of the New England farming COM
munity with graphic vividness, and
then, with the same fidelity with which
he has traced the causes of decay.
analyses forces which are already
evolving new social development out
of the ruins Of the old.
There is poetic justice in the future
which he pictures. The best of New
England has been given to the cities.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-08-01

Young men from the farms have
crowded into the centers of popula-
ton and aided in the development
which has made them strong and pros
porous. The farms were left to the
weaker men or were abandoned alto
gether, and the result has been the one
naturally to be expected. The cities
have fiourished and the farms have
gone to decay. Now new tide is set
ting in the other direction. Men OF
wealth are returning again to the
country not as farmers, it is true. but
as permanent home seekers. and large
tracts in several of the New England
states are already covered by the
splendid country places of the wealthy
men of Eastern cities These retain
their urban interests. but more and
more the rural seat is coming to be re-
garded as the real home.
The comparative merits and perils
Of landed aristocracy are aside from
the present question. There can be no
doubt that the present effect in dis
tricts selected for country seats will be
a new prosperity and a social advance
far greater than anything known even
when the farming community was at
its best In this evolution the immi-
grant is also a factor. Peasant farm
ers from abroad, people willing to &C
cept and live the simple life of pio-
neers, are taking up the abandoned
farms and are wrestling living from
the soil where native New Englanders
have failed. 1t is such a status which
is pictured as the probable future of
rural New England. Great tracts
given over to the homes and parks of
wealthy men from the cities, and new
farming communities built up by fru-
gal and hardy immigrants will follow
the process of decay which has been
going on for the last half-century.
There is a possibility of an un-Ameri-
can adjustment of relations under
such conditions; a peasant and lord of
the manor revival, which is not great
ly to be desired; but that is remote, and
the dreariness of utter abandonment
is present reality. In so far as its
end can now be seen, the present evo-
luton is not a cure that is worse than
the malady.

THE PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS

We commented recently upon the in
evitable conflict that would come be-
tween the state courts of Indiana and
the federal courts should Judge Sho-
walter, of the latter, adhere to his
decision that the act of the Indiana
legislature, decreasing the fare charged
by the Indianapolis street railway from
1--WE to three cents, was unconstitu-
tional, and, on appeal, the supreme
court should sustain the Judge. The
supreme court of Indiana has held the
act constitutional. The Injunction of
the federal judge restraints the law Of
ficers of Indianapolis from enforcing
the act. and the car users of that civ
are paying five-eent fares in spite of
the fact that the law prescribes one of
three cents and their court of last re-
sort holds The act in accord with their
constitution.
Judge Showalter denies the motion
for rehearing made by the state and
affirms his former decision. He evil
IDENTIFY surrenders his point that the act
is a violation ofithe state constitution
prohibiting special legislation, and falls
back upon his second ground that it
presents a federal question because it
violates the sanctity of contracts, the
charter of the company providing that
the company may charge fares not ex
ceeding five cents each. Within this
limit the judge holds that the company
obtained and, by use acquired a vested
right in the maximum fare, and that
state law subsequently reducing the
maximum violated that vested right
and was. therefore, void, under the fed
eral constitution But 1t seems that
the act granting this right also reserv-
ed to the legislature the power to
amend or repeal the act in its dscra-
ton, and if that is so, there seems to
be but little ground left under the de-
cision.
But aside from that, there is the
larger question, touched lightly by the
federal supreme, court in the Chicago
lake front case, whether it is compe-
tent for any legislature to grant away

A CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISH
MENT

1t is open to question whether the
to imprisonment for long term under
the present law of the state of New
York might not appeal successfully for
change Of sentence on the ground
that it is contrary to the constitution of
the United States, because it infiiets
''cruel and unusual punishment" What
incarceration means at the present
time in that state is confinement in
idleness, with the consequence that
many prisoners are driven insane, and
the rate is on the increase. When the
agitation against convict labor in the
state of New York secured the atten-
ton and action of the legislature, it
tailed there, as almost everywhere
else, to provide any substitute for the
occupations in which prisoners were
then engaged. The competition of con-
Wet labor, concentrated on a few lines
of work, was a real hardship to honest
workingmen. They had a right to de-
mend that this unjust discrimination
against them should be remedied. The
legislature, however, had no right to
grant that demand by taking away
from the inmates of the prisons their
employment and providing nothing to
take it's place.
That is just what they did The
state law prohibits the employment of
prisoners at any gainful or productive
industry except that the state and its
political divisions are obliged to buy
for their own uses prison-made goods
whenever they have. proof that the
prisons are ready to supply them. The
orders received under this section have
been SO scanty that less than half the
inmates of the Kings county peniten-
tiary have had any work to do. Out
of 700 prisoners confined there, only
300 have been allowed to labor The
other 400 are subject to solitary con-
finement without work Already seven
convicts after examination, have been
declared insane and removed to insane
asylums. Two others are reported as
partially insane, and will soon be in
the same dreadful plight. All those
confined without labor have deteriorat-
ed in health, have lost appetite and
