PERSPECTIVE VIEW.

h one who plans, contrives, constructs and
superintends buildings, and his success at
all this is measured by the results attained
and by the lhrgest degree of practical COM
mon sense, combined in the most economic,
scientific and artistic manner. He must
be a man of good reasoning power, and
everything done must bo with a we'll de-
fined purpose. Tho end must be held
plainly in view from the start. 1t Is the
goal to be reached and to deviate one way
or the other means ofttimes ruin and a
waste of opportunities. He must be proof
against the fads and follics of himself as
we'll as of his clients and must not by his
eagerness to please the latter allow himself
to be led into unsafe channels by observa-
lions they make as to liking this feature
or that, regardless of the cost.
The most successful architect Is he who
deals in the most practical common sense
and applies it to his clients best interests,
and this common sense, together with such
genius and experience as he possesses, can
not but keep him in paths Of successful
effort, though if he fails in this he is a
failure altogether, and his work will BIO

Debate Will Soon Close on the Dinghy
Bill in tho House.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The end OF
the struggle over the Dingley tariff bill
in the house is near at hand. The bill
will be open for amendment until /
O'Clock on Wednesday, when the de-
bate will close with two hours dis.
play of oratory. The voting will begin
at o'clock on that day. So far as
known there will be no break in the
Republican ranks, but at least four of
the Democrats will brave the party
whip and cast their votes for the bill,
three from Louisiana and one from
Texas.e There is also probability that
one Populist and one silverite will vote
for this protective measure. Mr.. Ding
ley, who has engineered the bill
through the eddies of debate with
great skill, will devote his energies to
pressing the consideration of the bill
forward with the utmost expedition in
order to complete it before the vote is
taken. The policy of the Democrats
thus far has been to attack every item
and make it the text for general as
saults on the bill.

RUSSIAN BEAR ANNOYED.

May BE Placed in the Undesirable Posi-
ton Of Shedding Christian Blood.
New YORK, March 29.-A dispatch
to The Herald from St. Petersburg
says: In the most important quarters
here much annoyance is felt at the
signs OF the vacillating policy shown
by the powers at moment when the
greatest 6rmness is necessary. The
feeling here is that the other powers
are trying to place Russia in the unde.
sirable position of shedding Christian
blood.
The Ogoloski publishes q very strong
article on the subject, and thinks Eng.
land is going to establish herself in
Crete, and as Crete is not what the
Dardenelles are to Russia, the latter
would not 60 to war about it. Crete
can only be pacified by shedding Chris.
tian blood, but orthodox Russians can.
not do so. England has done so before
and can do it now.
In diplomatic circles the position is
looked upon as very embroiled, and
the only solution would be that if the
Greeks insist on fighting they should
be allowed to 60 on, and be beaten.
1t is considered that after all interest
is entirely concentrated on what is
taking place on the Greece-Turkish
frontier, Russia would probably un.
dertake the pacification in connection
with another power.

Italian Commander in Cretan
Waters Wires lis Govern
ment for Troops.
A Large Number lmperatively
Necessary to Cope With
the Insurgents.
Two Hundred Thousand RUS
slams Concentrating on
the Frontier.

LONDON, March 29.-The Daily
Mails Rome correspondent says that
Admiral Canevaro, commanding the
International fleet in Cretan waters,
has wired to the Italian government to
send Immediately large land force,
which is inperatively necessary to cope
with the Cretan insurgents.
Admiral Canevaro, it is understood,
asserts that conditions in the interior
Of the island are SO terrible as the re-
suit Of famine and har dships that even
the lepers are leaving the lazar house,
the inhabitants are panic stricken and
the dead lie by the roadside unburied.
1t is reported that the bombardment
by the international fleets on Friday
wrought serious havoc among the
Christians. There is some danger of q
Mohammedan uprising in the island on
account of the scarcity Of food.

Parsee Burial Customs.

A Bombay correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, writing of the burial
customs of the Parsees, says: "The ap-
proach of that transition we call death Is a
signal for the relatives to leave the pres
ence of the dying one, the priest alone re-
manning to whisper Zend-Avesta precepts
into his ear. He, in turn, passes out OF the
room and admits a dog, who Is trained to
gaze steadily into the face of the dying
one. A dog is accounted the only living
creature that can terrorize the evil spirits,
60 the 'sasdid, or dog stare, Is the last
sight the Parsee has on earth. No human
shadow must intervene, otherwise the
guardian virtue of the dogs gaze is an
nulled."

The States Duty to the Prisoner.

The average age Of the convicts of the
United States is not far from rs years.
Therefore, the men constituting this body
are undeveloped men, so far as age Is con-
cerned, and, as already stated, they are
undeveloped in their moral and intellectu-
al faculties in fact, they are undeveloped
in all directions except to certain extent
in the criminal tendency which comes
from their environment. They are also, to
q very large extent, short term men. A
careful classification of the convicts of the
country shows that six-eighths are short
term prisoners, 0ne-eighth incorrigibles
and one-eighth amenable to Eefor,natory
efforts. These proportions are fairly cor
rect. They may be q little too large or a
little too small, but practically they may
be admitted. It cannot make very much
difference what system Is employed SO
that prices and wages are not affected,
when the short term men are considered.
There is not much to be gained, wheth-
er in the interest of the state or OF the
community or of the convicts in putting
them at work under one system Of labor
ss against another. They must bo employ.
ed, their minds must be occupied and their
hands utilized. It cannot, from the very
nature of things, BIZ worth while for the
state to erect costly plants for the sake OF
employing them under one or another sys'
tenn of labor. No one can argue with rea-
son that the short term prisoner himself
is to be particularly benefited by any such
employment. The chief point to he insist
ed upon is that his labor shall not be de.
basing. If he can be employed in making
blankets, furniture, coarse boots and shoes
and the infinite variety of things that may
be needed in the state institutions with
out the introduction of power machinery,
not only the state will be the gamer, but
also the prisoner himself. He does not stay
In prison long enough, as rule, to be
taught in the higher methods OF manual
training, and what little he can learn by
running some machine is of little conse-
quence in his after life. If he stays long
enough in prison, the state should see to
it that he comes out better equipped to
earn a living than when he entered it.

The Wurderer's Fate.

Rev. Il. ". Reynolds Of Holly Park
PRESBYTERIAN church, San Francisco,
believes and says there is absolutely 10
salvation for murd"rcrS, rcpentant or
not. He lately declared, before Il
meeting of ministers of his faith, that
he favored preaching, "Whcn man
has taken human life he should be
hanged and 60 to hell; he cannot re-
pcnt." One brother exclaimed "Oh
hrlovcd" in Il tone OF surprise, and
the report concludes with the words,
"thcn there was profound silence"
This declaration is in marked con-
trast with the teachings of Christian
ity, which extend the blessings of re-
demption without limit to those who
repent and believe in the Redeemer.
Christ taught the utter remission Of
sin through faith, and translated the
thief on the cross to an Immediate
possession Of heavenly home. Isaiah
says: Though your sins be as scar
let they shall be white as snow !;
though they be red like crimson, they
shall be as WOOL" and that is the doc
trinc that has been enunciated from
the pulpit and supported by all true
disciples, for nearly twenty centuries.
Mr.. Reynolds objectionable sin,
while it disturbs the unity and beauty
of the Christian plan OF redemption,
may be productive of some good if it
leads to serious thought which may
forbid the maudlin sentiment so often
manifested by Christian women that
actually results in a sanctitication of
murderers as they approach the scat
fold, and enables them to make their
exit from life actually over a pathway
OF flowers simply on profession OF
penitence, implying hope OF forgive
ness for an act which may have con-
signed another soul to perpetual tor
ment.
While it is admitted that the plan
of redemption does not depend upon
reason for support, it is unfortunate
that it involves so great stumbling
block to faith as that life-record OF
infamy may be blotted out in an in
slant by single act that may result
from fear or desire to pose as hero
before the susceptible half of human

Johnny Has Got His Gun.

1t is said that some peoplc are born
famous, Others attain fame, and still
others have greatness thrust upon
them. 1t matters but little which of
these assertions may be true, when we
come to turn the telescope of discovery
on Gen. John +. Ballainc, for we find
he has assumed colossal height since
donnlng the shoulder-straps, and it
matters little whether it is by slow or
rapid growth. His stature is now CO.
loSsal; at least that is the way he
looks to our neighbors across the seas,
who accord him Il column and a half
in London paper, to criticize a writer
on America CIV. I. Stcad), in which
he objects to that author making New
York city type of American charac-
ter in any sense. A review of the
Generals article says he asserts that
the real American, who is found only
on the Western side of the continent,
hates New York as much as he hates
London; that every true American
hates England with undying bitter
ness, and will be glad when the time
comes to fight her.
The prominence given this expires
sion of our Quixotic Adjutant General
has produced sensation among our
English cousins, for how are they to
know that what he says is untrue and
that he is not authorized by position or
knowledge to pass judgment upon a
city that is the pride OF every true
American citizen.
Gen. Ballaine may deem it the duty
of military man to assume fierce
demeanor and talk fight, especially
when there is very remote chance
that the chip will be knocked from his
shoulder. If so, it might be cruel to !
refuse him this diversion; but really
we hope he will not precipitate war
between q peaceful nation and our
country by making faces which seem
so acrimonious to our excitable ances-
tors.
