REFORM FROM WITHIN.

The late John j. Ingalls, is quoted as
having been skeptlcal as 10 the posi-
billty Of efectng lasting reforms by
means Of legislation. He held that all
true reform begins with the individual.
Legislation cannot give brains to the
brainless, thrift TO the thrlftless, in
dustry to the irresolute and discern
ment TO the fool
This is true philosophy. The object
Of law is 20 point out right and wrong
as far as possible to protect the innocent
from the acts Of the eyil-doer. and TO
administer correction. But all this
does not impart the necessary power
for reform. II does not give 20 the in
dlyldual the moral force necessary to
turn from falsehood 10 truth, from en-
nifty 10 love- from immortality to mo-
rality That force must be sought for
elsewhere. 1t is given only with the
honest acceptance Of the Gospel
There is too much law-makng IN the
world and too little effort at individual
reform We legislate against almost
every conceivable evil, and then go on
breaking the laws as IL they never ex-
listed And In this way even the cor
rective influence Of the law Is lost
The Prophet Josephs views upon this
subject are worth more attention than
they have received lie says
Petition your state legislatures TO
pardon every convict In their several
penitentaries; blessing them as they
60. and saying TO them In the name
Of the Lord, go thy way and sin no
more. Advise your legislators when
they make laws for larceny. burglary
or any felony, to make the penalty ape
plicable 20 work upon roads. public
works, or any place whore they can be
taught more wisdom and more virtue,
and become more enlightened Riror
and seclusion viii never do as much 70
reform the propensltles Of man, as rea-
son and friendship. Murder only can
claim confinement or death Let the
penitcntlaries be turned into seminaries
Of learning. where intelligence Ike the
angels OF heaven would Danish such
fragments Of barbarism. Love com
Quers ALL
There is truth conveyed ia these lines
which It may take generations TO COM
prehend. but &c Is nevertheless the truth
that peryades the teachings OF the best
men that ever lived on this earth

THE HUBBUB IN THE HUB,

The excitement IN Boston caused by
the revocation Of licenses previously

The region around the band stand

a number OF these had been forbidden TO

the strictly orthodox preachers had been
privileged 10 continue their exhorta-

UNITED STATES PROGRAM
Five Fighting Ships More Formid-
able Than aoy Others De-
signed Yet.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-As finally
adopted, the United States naval in
crease program for 1901, involves the
construction Of thirty-two vessels of
l5l 500 tons displacement, or more than
double that laid down in any preceding
year The list which Congress is to be-
asked to authorize is: Three $1,000 ton
battleships, two 1000 ton armored
cruisers, six 1000 ton gunboats, six $500
ton gunboats, ten 200 ton gunboats,
three 1000 ton GOLFERS, one 1000 ton
repair ship and one 1000 ton marine
transport.
The Board of Construction has de-
cided to omit the torpedo boats, both
surface and submarine recommended
by the policy board of which Admiral
Dewey is chairman, but the program
in all other particulars conforms close
ly to the initial project under discus
sion a week ago.
The program makers have confined
their project to ships for offense for
police and for novel auxiliary purposes
by the new conditions imposed upon
the navy by the increasing Importance
of American interests in the Far East.
The five fighting ships proposed are
more formidable than any others of
the same category yet designed. With
the seventeen now building or author
lied and with the six batteships and
two armored cruisers already in COM
mission, they will give an offensive
force of thirty ships.
The twenty-five gunboats are intend
ed for police duty, principally in the
Philippines although adaptable for
service in China. The 200ton gunboats
will be the smallest war vessels, except
torpedo boats, ever built for the United
States navy, but they will be of the
size recommended by all officers of ex
perience in the Philippines as essential
to preserving order among the small
islands of the archipelago.
The three Golfers are designed to de-
liver on a single voyage from Norfolk
ten thousand tons of coal at Manila,
Guam, Pago-Pago or Hawaii. They are
also to have sufficient speed to enable
them to accompany a fleet of battle
ships on a long cruise. They are to be
equipped with automatic loading and
unloading apparatus to secure greater
economy of time, and if necessary,
would be quickly converted into cable
laying ships for use on the Pacific
ocean. The repair vessel Vulcan is to
be kept in the Philippines and is vir-
tually to be a cruising navy yard.
The proposed maritime transport is
to be like the Solace but half again as
large and armed with light guns. She
is needed by the Marine Corps, which
now has six thousand men dependent
on the Solace, or on army ships for
transportation. The new vessel is to
have accommodation for two bat
talions and to have high speed for
carrying a force quickly to any scene
of disturbance in the East, her head
quarters being at Manila.

Foreign Ministers Are
In Conference at
Picking.

LONDON, Nov. 3.--The Pail Mall Ga
zctte this afternoon publishes a dispatch
from Ichow, dated October %, which says
heavy lighting has occurred in the noun
tans on the Shan-si frontier. An Anglo
German force of 1,5OO men, commanded by
Colonel Won Norman, stormed the
T2Ching Kung pass. The Chinese occu-
pied a strong position on the crest and
stubbornly resisted. They poured u hot
cntilading fire on the advance party of
eighty Germans under Major Won Forres-
ter, but the British general cavalry and
mounted sappers, dismountinE, scaled the
heights, turned the enemy's TANKS and
relieved the Germans.

able time was devoted to the discussion
of what guarantees should be demanded
from China that outbreaks similar to the
recent one should not occur In the future
The Ministers agreed that treaty obliga-

absolutely necessary, but no decision was
reached as to the exact nature of the as

was also some talk as to the punishment
