Reward or Punishment.

The Sire de Joinville tells us in his
Histoire de st. Louis how a certain
Brother Yves of the preaching friars
once met while crossing a street in
Damascus, at the time of the sixth
crusade, an aged woman who carried
in her right hand bowl of fire and in
her left bottle of water.
Where are you going?" asked the
Brother Yves.
Il co. said she, ito burn up heaven
with the fire and put out hell with
the water. And so l will make an end
of BOTH
And for why will you do this?'
asked the friar
Because said she, IT would that
we did good neither for the joys of
heaven nor for the fear of hell pain,
but purely for the love of God who de-
serves SO well of us and who is able
to deliver US from evil. il."-Fortnightly

The Pasadena Star" Saws:

As the details of the Whittier School
rebellion become known the more it be-
comes apparent that there is a whole
lot of mismanagement somewhere.
Evidently the politicians in charge know
more about running a primary election
than about controlling incorrigible boys.
Yes, a good deal more about caucuses,
primaries and political ambitions. And
it begins to look now, if the half we hear
is true, that much the same state of af-
fairs is obtaining at the lone Reform
School, where the fine old Democratic
doctrine is put into practice that If a
fellow viii not think your way, the thing
10 do is to fog conviction into him. as
was once the practice in treating mig

The Physiology of the Liver.

The liver is the largest secreting organ
in the human body, and the bile which it
secretes is more liable to vitiation and
nisdirection from its proper channels
than any other of the animal fluids Luck
lily for the bilious, however, there
is an unfailing source of relief from
liver complaint, namely, Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters, a medicine which
for about half Of century has
been achieving thorough cures of the
aforementioned ailments, fever and ague,
dyspepsia, bowel complaints, rheumatic
and kidney affection, and disorders involv-
ing loss of nervous vigor. 1t is, moreover,
a preventive of malarial disease and af-
fords protection to thousands of persons
residing in districts of country where that
dire scourge is prevalent. As a remedy
adapted to the medicinal requirements of
families, it is supremely desirable, and as
a means of fortifying debilitated sys-
tenn, it is thoroughly to be depended upon.

A SHAMEFUL OUTCOME.

The San Francisco Society for the
Suppression of Vice awakened to sort
of abnormal vigor when the dirty
Ward Bradbury scandal cropped up. 1t
had both offenders arrested for viola
ton of the law that in one case OF
offending against the seventh COM
mandment affixes the penalty follow
ing a felony, and in another case that
attaching for misdemeanor.
It was announced with great Hour
ish Of trumpets that Ward and Mrs.
Bradbury were TO be prosecuted be-
cause they had so openly and def1antly
flaunted their shame in the face of the
public. It was admitted that plenty of
Other. people are offenders of the same
order and go free of punishment, but
it was stated by the society that the
social prominence of the Ward-Brad-
burvs and their boldness made the as
sociation act that an example might be
made. and hence mercilessly and
sternly these parties would be prose
cuted.
What news have we now? Why that
Ward who appears to have few friends
and to have no more sympathy than
such a contemplate fellow ought to
have. but who is a stranger in a
strange land, without rich and infiuen-
cuted, while the Bradbury woman. by
means Of Mysteries, tears and repent
ence when the logical results Of her
crime confront her, has prevailed upon
the Vice Society, and she is therefore
to be permitted to go free and back
to the home she has disgraced beyond
social repair. OF course her influential
relatives interceded for her, and the
Society for the Suppression of Vice not
having the moral stamina to stand to
its purpose, weakly yields and agrees
not to prosecute Mrs. Bradbury.
It appears that the prosecuting at
torney for the society protested against
the withdrawal of the prosecution
against the woman. The court or the
Prosecuting Attorney of the city have
the power to compel the woman to
come to the bar of justice Prosecu-
tions for crime are not promoted at
the whim and convenience of individ
uals, but are in the name of the people
of the State of California. The Society
for the Prevention of Vice has no
power to dismiss the case against Mrs.
Bradbury without the connivance of
people to prosecute criminals. Those
officers and the court, know that
crime has been committed; one of the
criminals has been held by that court
to answer before superior tribunal,
but the other is allowed to go free,
simply because she brings to bear pres
sure from the outside. This is simply
shameful. Applying the law to one
guilty partner and allowing the other
to go is a discrimination that brings
the law into contempt and adds fuel to
the flames of discomfort.
The Vice Society by this action be-
comes an association for the promotion
of vice, since it says in so many words
that guilty and shameless wives may
weep and so free if they have plenty
Of friends to intercede for them. The
criminal law officers of San Francisco
by this action disgrace their positions
and violate their oaths of office by per-
mtting confessed offender to escape
punishment, who is rich and influential,
while a poor wretch would probably
plead before them in vain for the mer-
est droppings of mercy.

A LESSON.

Riverside Press: Kings County is
selling hogs at 211a cents per pound and
buying them back in bacon at 9R and
ham at 121a cents per pound. This OBJ
ject lesson suggests a moral on the
methods of California farmers that is
tolerably clear without any elaboration
The farmers of Kings County will find
that there is more money in curing
their hogs into hams and bacon than
selling them for pig cents per pound
and then voting for free silver as a
means of securing relief from the de-
pressed condition of the ranch business
A little more thrift and a little less po-
litical buncombe would be a good thing
for lots of farmers in California.
