A Novel Point.

The attorney generals office has just
decided that party can rattle proper
ty or anything else without interference
on the part Of the State. 1t appears
that there is no statute on the 4ucs-
tion of rafting, unless rattle be lot
terry, aud the attorney general office
is of the opinion that the old statute
against lottery will not hold against
a rattle. The statute is quito old aud
does not appear to have been enforced.
A lady several days ago addressed Il
communication to the attorney gen
eral office to know whether she
might legally rattle her house and lot;
The proposition was novel to the legal
department of the State, but excited
sufficient interest for the old laws to
be searched. There was nothing spc
cifcally prohibiting a rattle, and 50

The following interesting item
from the telegraphic columns of
the daily press shows that we need
to send missionaries to eastern
Canada instead of to the cannibals
of Africa
st. Vincent de Paul. Que.-An order
was issued today by David Mills, min
lister of justice, to lash eight cOnvicts
in st. Vincent de Paul penitentiary III
the presence of 400 fellOw-cOnvictS.
r'lOgging is common form of punish
ment here. The criminal statutes pro-
vide for it. The sentence gives from
twelve to fifty lashes, in two Install
ments, one two weeks after the man
enters the prison and one two weeks
before he leaves it, so as to make him
remember it. In the penitentiary the
affair is quite imposing, and as rule
several people are allowed to witness it.
This prison is in a suburb of
Montreal, the largest and presum-
ably most civilized city in Canada.
If you do not realize the impetu-
osity Of the French, just read
chapter from Victor Hugo's His
tory Of Crime,'' and you will
have an idea how ''tenderly" the
vain ''Joe Mouffron'' will lay on
these lashes. And the victims who
are thus degraded two weeks pre-
vious to reentering the ranks of
men, what is to be expected of
them? If they can steal enough
money to pay the fare, they will
perhaps leave Canada. AS it is
unusual for such a large sum to be
found loose they are probably re-
turned to the clash factory.

laws that may be enforced or an
nulled according to the financial
condition of the ones affected.
Yes, to this false notion that money
and happiness are synonymous
may be attributed every earthly
woe. Money is essential to happi-
ness, but moral riches is also es-
sential to the owner of that money
before the resultant bliss can be
secured.
We are all anxious to be materi-
ally rich; it is a commendable
trait. But it is the quintessence
of folly to risk health, liberty and
life in the mad chase for the
almighty dollar. And the ques-
ton here presents itself: Is the
dollar ALMIGHTY? It will fill your
paunch and clothe you in the
finest: it will temporarily satisfy
every whim of passion. But let
the drunkard try with this silvery
wand to bring back his manhood:
let him try by it's aid to bring
back the color and sparkle to the
cheeks and eyes of the dying wife
or mother-driven into a decline
by his conduct: let the millionaire
pile up his wealth before him and
try if it will purchase him the
peace of mind that he envies in
the day laborer; let him try if it
can secure for him the assurance
that he is sought and loved fo1
himself alone, and not for his
wealth. Numerous other necessi-
ties to real happiness might be
mentioned that money can not
secure, although they are as free
gifts to the simple toiler who, in
their possession, is moral CAPT
talist" envied by his fellowman
who, though possessing millions
in property, is discontinued and
unhappy through his state of moral
poverty.

Now THAT Durrant has paid the
penalty of his crime the comment
on the case being made by the
press would lead the unobservant
reader to believe that justice may
be retarded in the same manner in
all cases. Every editor who has
commented on the case knows pos
itively that it was the hard cash
back of the attorneys for the de-
Tense that was responsible for the
delay. We know nothing about
the merits of the case. The evil
dence, though entirely circumstan-
tial, pointed very strongly to his
being guilty of a most atrocious
crime. After the jury rendered a
decision, the real fight of the de-
tense began. It was purely a
matter of drop 500 in the slot and
find technicality. The code of
procedure was found to be like a
rubber band in the fingers Of re-
sourceful attorneys who tortured it
into all sorts of fantastic lines to
suit the purpose of the moment.
But it must be said to the credit
of the law that, like the same
rubber band, after it's many con-
volutions it finally returned to the
form it would assume under nat
ural conditions. The majesty of
the law has been upheld-but it
is questionable if it would stand a
similar siege where the defense
had slightly stronger footing.
Had Durrant's people not possessed
the wherewithal necessary to en-
large every legal loophole this case
would have been forgotten two

THE surest way of getting justice
in this world is to be just. Follow
the golden rule. Commit no crime
and it matters not whether you are
rich or poor; you are on the side
that can not be assailed. The
strictly honest man is not once in
one hundred thousand cases ac-
cused of an otfense. But the one
who is only passively honest may
be charged with and found guilty
of a crime he himself may not
have committed, but the commits
sion Of which by others he could
have restrained had he been strictly
honest. 4hepunishment may be un-
just-but is it entirely undeserved
from the moral standard by which
we usually judge others?

MORAL POVERTY.

ONE may be multi-millionaire
and yet be a pauper in all that
goes to make up the only true
happiness possible in this world.
It is very pleasant to feel that
there are practically unlimited
means at ones command; but this
very abundance is often the cause
of as much misery in life as is
abject poverty; not in SO many
cases, it is true, but the results,
where riches do prove blight are
more ignoble than is the bane of
the novels of depravity.
A study of life as it may be
viewed daily from a purely worldly
standpoint gives one more abid-
ing faith in an omnipotent power
than is usually effected by flowery
oratory.
Look into the cottage of the
humble mechanic: he has no rare
paintings or fancy bric-a-brac to
garnish his mantle-shelf: liveried
buffers and other accessories of the
plutocrat are not there; but note
the satisfied look of happiness that
is reflected in every surrounding.
Speak to him and you will dis
cover that he is not a socialist, nor
does his wife want to vote; but
they are both supremely happy.
Misfortune may come their way at
times but does not last long, for
the prudent husband put his spare
cash into a bank, instead of drown
ing imaginary sorrows with it..
Such family is poor, materially;
morally they are millionaires, and
draw the real sunshine from exist
ence-that which can not be pur-
chased with cash.
The reader may pout as he says
that "a rich man can not help be-
ing happy Certainly they can
be happy: but not whit more SO
than the man honestly earning a
fair competence. Material wealth
never has, and never will, of itself
alone, achieve the contentment
that an intelligent person recog-
nizes as real happiness. It is this
false notion that the possession of
an over-abundance of property is
the only royal road to happiness
that is causing all the misery in
the world. It is this false clue to
happiness that keeps our prisons,
lunatic asylums and alms-houses
filled; it is this that has ever neces-
STATED the erecting of gibbets and
electric death chairs; it is this that
causes roguery in high places; that

The Chicago papers tell a pitt
full story of a woman, with a six
weeks-old infant in her arms, going
four days without food right in the
center of plenty where the eleva-
tors are bursting with an album
dance Of wheat awaiting half-cent
rise that Joe Letter may make
another million. Her name is
given as Mrs. Mary Wilson, hailing
from Minneapolis. She was COM
PEELED to flee from there with her
infant on account of the extreme
cruelty of her husband. She was
found wandering on the streets Of
Chicago and was taken to hos
pital where she will receive kindly
treatment. The physicians state
that the mothers condition is crit
ical on account of the severe ex-
posure to the elements while nurs
ing a child. If the good people of
Minneapolis would hunt up the
brutal husband and give him a
touch of southern justice, few
would mourn his fate.
