the state ought to own large body of
land properly located, upon which a PEN
itentiary should be erected and fully
equipped with all modern appliances, for
the confinement at hard labor in the va
rious trades of all able-bodied felony con-
victs, the result of their labor to be utilized
and sold in the markets and the proceeds
to go towards the support of the instltu-
ton, and so that they would come out bet
ter skilled to earn a livelihood; and with
a large farm well stocked attached to be
run by the women and boys and the old

the convicts could be provided and the ex-
cess sold for its maintenance.
Misdemeanor conVicts should be organ
lied into county chain-gangs and kept at
work on the roads and other public
works in the respective counties. In his
opinion under the operation of the present
law providing for a reduction

would continue to be a marked
decrease in the number of state convicts
and a corresponding increase of county
! convicts State convicts should be kept
under rigid state control, and county con-
victs under like rigid control by the coun-
ty authorities. Due regard should be had

that false sickly sentimentality, which
would make the life of a convict one of
cage and comfort and hence by some to
be desired and thus defeat one of the pur-
poses of the law in it's punishments-to
cause the evil disposed to fear and dread
1t and refrain from the commission of
crime.
Local self-government and not centra-
lization OF power is the genius Of demo-
cratic institutions and there Is no good
reasons why the county authorities could
not be trusted TO properly manage county
chain-gangs. instead of placing them un-
der state control. While he had no indl-
vidual opinion 10 express concerning spec

the condition and treatment of misdemean-

known as they are by our own people
Evils doubtless existed and should be cor

are partly compensated now for their SER
vices in criminal cases out of the fund re-

vlcts, and as these officers are already
poorly paid, provision should be made for
their proper remuneration.

New Era For Siberia.

A new era has just begun in the
history of Siberia. Since the begin
ming of this month the whole Of that
vast Asiatic empire of the Gear has
become endowed with a modern and
uniform system of public justice.
Law courts have been opened in the
various provincial capitals, and the
principal tribunal of appeal Of Siberia
has been established at Irkutsk. Un-
til now there has been no system of
legal procedure. whatever in Siberia,
the entire country being subject ex-
clusively to the arbitrary administra-
ton of autocratic officials. True, there
is yet room for improvement, since for
the present there is to be no trial by
jury, while the Justices of the peace
are to be appointed by the Grown, in
stead of being elected by the people of
the district. At the same time the
new system is certain to constitute a
: salutary check upon the hitherto un-
bridled tyranny of Russian oficialdom
in Siberia. Louisville Courier Jour-
nal.

Horsemeat For Chickens.

Petaluma can probably boast of an
institution which is the only one of its
kind in existence, as far as is known.
1t is a green-bone mill and horse abat-
toir, the product of which is intended
only for chicken feed.
o. A. Kenyon is the proprietor. He
at present slaughters about nine
healthy horses or mules per day at his
Corona yards, and the quartered car
casses are hauled to the local station.
This resembles an ordinary butcher
shop. A two-horse power electric mo-
tor furnishes power to propel bone
cutter and meat-chopper, and he turns
out fresh ground meat and bone every
day, cut in sizes to tempt the palate OF
any bird, from the tiny chick to the
full fowl. Quite traffic Is al
so done in hides. A delivery wagon is
run in connection with the business.

AVERAGE

From the above figures it will be
observed that the Scandinavians head
the list with an average longevity of
51.4 years; next come the English
with so years to their credit, followed
by the Germans with only 1879 years.
The lowest on the scale is Russia,
whose vitality is credited with only
26.7 years. The statistician does not
appear to have included America in
his calculations, although it is per-
fectfully fair to assume that the Ion
gevity of Americans is equal to that of
Englishmen, adds the Atlanta Con-
stitution. Americans have the repu-
tation of living fast, but this is not al
together deserved. 1t may be gravely
doubted if any country on the globe
can boast of more conservative citi-
zenship, taking it as whole, than the
United States, and the word conser-
vatism applies as well to the social as
it does to the political character of the
people. While climatic conditions to
some extent determine longevity, it is
largely controlled by national charac-
ter and habits. In the light Of these
observations the foregoing table can
not fail to be of interest to our read
ers.

Novel wey to Tell the Time.

''The Navy Department clerks have
q good one on me-" said Senator Jones
recently to Star reporter. 81 have
had frequent occasion to visit the State,
War and Navy Department building
during the session of Congress, and
somehow always managed to get there
about noon each day, though I had no
particular object in getting there the
same hour each day. But it happened
that way. I noticed on several occa-
sions as I passed through the halls Of
the building that some of the clerks or
messengers sang out down as passed
them, and, though I could not under
stand the reason, I did not connect it
with myself. When the thing hap
pened three or four times in success
sion, it began to make me think. About
three weeks ago I had business there,
and just as 1 entered room looking
for friend, an official, clerk broke
out with the usual down. looking at
me straight in the eyes. I got a little
hot under the collar at it, and said,
Young man. There is nothing par
ticularly down about me that know Of,
and will you please explain why all Of
you speak of me as down as I pass
through?' The clerk Redeemed up
somewhat and explained that his
down had no reference to me what
ever; that what he meant by it, as also
the others, was that the time ball which
is dropped from the flag staff at the
top of the building at noon each day
had dropped for IL o'clock; that it was
custom of the clerks and messengers
of that building whenever they hap
pened to be watching the ball to sing
out down, so as to inform their fel.
low clerks who were not watching the
ball that it was down. OF course, the
explanation was satisfactory and that
is all there is of it. Iadmit, however,
that the clerks in that building have
one on me, and I'll try to even it up
some time with them. Washington
