Will Lessen Crime.

An argument offered for the
employment of prisoners in build.
ing roads is that the fear of such
public degradation will deter from
the commission of petty crimes
and will lessen the incursion of
tramps into communicates.
We have right here in jail, rom
time TO time, good number of
prisoners who, instead of laying
out their time in Jail at 40 cents
per day, should be worked on our
streets aud public roads. Why
is it that other counties work their
prisoners TO the county's interest
and Hardin county allows her
prisoners to lay up in jail, being
fed by the county, and allowed as
much as other counties allow their
prisoners, who labor daily to the
county's interest?

Faith without Works is Dead.

From the New York Herald.
The two cases of death as the recent re-
suits of faith cure treatment may serve to
focus public attention upon the reprehensi-
Bile and dangerous practice of neglecting
the ordinary and universally approved
methods of combating disease.
The real danger of the method has SC
often been shown that ii IL high time the
proper authorities take the matter in hand
and bring the deuded criminals to a strict
accountability. The determination of the
health authorities to investigate the miser-
able business will meet with the cordial ap-
proval of all sensible people
We have d law providing that the care
and treatment of the sick shall be confined
TO qualified persons only, and yet the
fanatics who, with folded hands humble
incamations over their dupes defiantly place
themselves beyond such requirements. and
not only ignore the claims of science but
cast a slur on true religion.
Faith Is an excellent thing in the alb
Stract, but We are told on the highest au-
thority that without works it Is dead

ingiy tangible remedies

The Only blot that rests upon the whole
American record in the war with Spain is
the conduct of the three officers of the fist
New York Volunteers who after trial and
conviction have just been publicly censured
for cowardiee IN the Santiago campaign
The case was fully made out. These men
fiunked openly. and withstood all the efforts
of their superiors to get them to go into
battle. one of them was the colonel of the
regiment. and his conduct for time re-
Elected on his men. II is now conceded
however. that had the regiment been prop
erly led ii would have acquitted itself with
credit. The panic did not extend to the
men, who appeared irresolute simply for
the want of orders to move: and some of
them at last moved without orders and
shared in the honors Of the engagement
We have rejoiced a people in the few
casualties that befell our men on land and
sea, May We not also rejoice IN the fact
that out of the large number that took the
field for the flag only three should have
proved unworthy of the mission? The war
it is true. was short. but it was long enough
TO develop abundance of heroism and en-
durance For every difficult task there
were hundreds of volunteers When the
mission which fell to Hobson and his asso-
ciates was proposed. the decks of all the
warships swarmed with men clamorous for
the glory of what seemed TO promise certain
death. The spirit shore was equally
high. The commanding officers. from Cen
eral Wheeler down. had but to speak and
point or lead the way, and the men re-
sponded with a cheering alacrity.
And what was true while the war with
Spain continued is observable in the Philip
pines now in the effort to bring Agulnaldo
and his men into obedience to American au-
thority. The soldiers and sailors there are
carrying themselves in the finest style. In
