in the Empire state. The United States,
however, is not yet quite ready to pull
itself down to the level of the semi

governmental press, censorship.

If man commit crime, be given q fair trial, be found guilty, and be condemned, what becomes of him? He goes to prison and works out his sentence. And then? Then he is guiltless in the eye of the law, and he is as though he had done no wrong thing. His retention in prison has expiated his crime; he is a pure mem
 Der of society. But what says socie- ty through you? The answer by deeds is this. ''The stain of that wrong shall stay on him forever; ha shall be hampered in every way; he shall be prevented from getting an honorable position by meddlesome tongues reviving the story of the past; he shall be bounded by those who say, T am holier than thou; he shall be made to feel that the world is too small for him to hide himself
 and the grave too shallow to purify him; for the stigma of crime shall fasten even on his children after him.

TIDAL WAVES IN
THE ORIENT.

Another of those disastrous sies- n;o noLeavals mich are felt with peculiarly terrible effect in the waters of the South Pacific oce@n has occurred between China and Japan, the result being a very des- tructive tidal wave, The informa- tion at hand is necessarily meager, but it appears that the wave swept upon the Japanese coast on August 5. and that the list of killed and in- iured must run up we'll into the hundreds. The catastrophe, in es- sential features, seems to be exactly similar to the disaster which took place in Northern Japan on the evening of June 15 of last year But at that time, it was estimated, about 30,000 lives were lost and about F, GOO houses destroyed. On 1ulv 26 of the same year another wave swept down upon the Chinese coast Northeast of the province of Kiang su, the number of lives lost being estimated at 1, 900.
 The origin of ,these phenomena is generally understood, although their development is often sudden and with no apparent cause at tn nlaee of greatest destruction. II the case of the tidal wave of June 1896, it is probable that 2. displact ment of the ocean bed some hur dreds of mics from the shore cause the disaster. It was sufficient powerful to bring about an uphe; val in which the entire body of u sea at that point was lifted, tn waves at the crest being in some il stances eighty feet in height, eve at the point Of their impact upo the coast.
 To appreciate the calamitous n lure of these disturbances it Is onl necessary to consider what must the immense weight and volume
 the wall of water suddenly hurie over hundreds of miles of low-lyir coast line. The present tidal wa does not seem to have been near so disastrous in its effect as that
 last year, or as that which deyasat
 Japan n October of 1891 but
 serves to mark another of the pecl
 far phenomena which act to repre-
 the overgrowth of the oriental pc ' nlation. Chicago Record.
