HOW THE RIGHTEOUS SUFFER.

An appeal, perhaps warning, even a
threat, is made TO the public TO stop the waste
and TO economic the use Of water, lest there
be a famine. Exact statistics of its result would
be interesting. In their absence we can only
speculate concerning it. We shall probably not
be far from right however, If we assume, upon
the strength of our common knowledge of
human nature, that as ii was so 1t is and shall
be- Those who were careful are careful still.
and those who were wasteful are Wasteful still
There is net saving of water no doubt That
! is because those who were careful are consid-
crate Of the appeal, and are more careful than
| before, and are practising self-denial and per
haps actual privations. Such is the case ten
! times for every one case in which the wantonIy
wasteful man is converted from the error of his
ways. The sinners go on SHINING, while the
righteous simply suffer the more because of the
sins.
One of the principal railroad stations giving
ingress to and egress from this city has an elab-
crate system of ticket inspection. Passengers
for certain train must all file through one GER
tain door and show their tickets and no mas
senger can reach that train without so doing.
That is the theory. That is the rule of the
place. Men and women who. as Huxley said of
those who have a liberal education respect
others as themselves" heed the rule and com
ply with It, But when they, having waited for
the door to be opened. pass through In decent
and orderly manner, they find the cars already
half filed and all the seats on the comfortable
side occupied by others who have swinishlv
sneaked through some other way or have
braZenly done so on the strength of le At re-
mote intervals the management Of the road
seems aroused to the indecency Of the thing,
and orders a strict enforcement of the rule. The
result is no change The law abiding, fellow
respecting passengers continue to observe the
rule, while the swinish interlopers simply exer-
else more sneakishness or more brazen men
dacity in continuing their detestable practice
And so those who fagrantly violate the rules of
the road are rewarded with the best accommo-
datons, while those who courteously and scrupu-
lousiy regard them are punished with being
compelled TO put up with the leavngs.
Similar examples might be cited until the line
stretched ont 10 the crack Of doom. The cynic
says the good are fools for being good; they
should do as the others do, cheat and be
cheated and die" The pessimist saws II has
always been so and viii always be so. and
New-York tribune., 1900-07-30

there is no use in kicking against 1t. But the
cynic is a liar and the pessimist is slave to his
own pessimism The man who sees straight and
thinks clearly has an abiding hope that one of
these days the good will be as aggressive or as
assertive as the evil. and when that time comes
let the evil beware! For 1t is as true in these
little things as in the vast economies of the uni
verse that law is stronger than anarchy, good is
greater than evil, Cosmos is superior to Chaos.
And one of these days the man who uses water
freely but wastes none will take his wasteful
neighbor by the throttle and knock his head
against the wall, and the law abiding passen-
gers will drive the sneaking, intrusive swine
into the cattle car. and honesty and decency
will execute upon dishonesty and indecency the
sautary judgment of the court, that these have
rights which they are bound to respect And
then we shall have peace with honor

THE WANDERING CRIMINAL.

There used TO be custom in the old mining
| camps of giving dad man. who was scarcely
| bad enough 10 lynch outright a certain space of
| time In which to leave the place. If he did not
get away within that time, or if he returned, he
would be shot at sight. Gentlemen" said one
such exile to the vigilance committee which had
given him fifteen minutes in which to get out
IF this mule doesn't balk. I don't want but
f1ve"' Thus usually the sentence accepted
and efficiently enforced. 1t a rude and law
less system. tolerable. would say. only in
n crude and semi -barbarous social state.
Yet now and then we observe the same thing
internationally done. with all the formal cir
cumstance of ordered law. Again and again
social offenders. often Of the vilest type, have
been released from Jail or sent unwhipped of
justice condition of their going to some
other land. Usually such exiles from Europe
seek asylum in the United States, and they are
often thus sent away without formal conviction
in order TO dodge the law against immigrant
felOns. OF course, we are highly indignant over
it. and rightly So 1t is intolerable that other
lands should send their criminals to us instead
of putting them into jail.
We shall do well. however, to clear our own
skirts of the same reproach. The other day
Magistrate in the Borough of Brooklyn gave a
hardened and confirmed criminal so many hours
in which to leave town, and warned her that If
she were caught within the borough after that
time she would receive the heaviest sentence
the law permitted. 1t would be interesting to
know upon what grounds of law or morals or
through what mental processes, such conduct
can be justified. If the woman was known to
be deserving of a sentence. it was the Magis-
trate's duty to impose it upon her. If she was
not he had no right to menace her with one
and thus frighten her into fight
But the worst feature of the case was the
one TO which we first referred, namely passing
the criminal on, to be curse to some other
place. What right has Brooklyn to make Man
haitian or any other place a dumping ground
for social refuse? We have criminals enough
of our own, without caring for hers So has
every other place 1t is at once confession Of
self-weakness and an act of unfriendliness to
others for a municipality thus to send its Grim
inals out to prey upon the rest of the world. If
a municipality cannot dispose of it's criminals
without saddling them upon its neighborS it is
unfit for self-government
The principle is precisely the same, whether
the criminal be exiled by city or State or Ma
ton. It is in all cases absolutely vicious Car
ried to It's logical completion it would make all
criminals outlaws and wanderers upon the face
of the earth, exiled from their old homes and
debarred from making new ones. That is not
civilization, but barbarism: not humanity but
brutality. 1t is the part Of the Nation the State
and the city. as of the individual to bear its
own burdens and to help others bear theirs but
not weakly and basely. and with surreptitious
cOwardice to shove its burdens off upon others.

tends to think the Constitution will be de-
stroyed unless he is intrusted with power. Mr..
Bryan makes public order no concern of his
any more now than in 1896. He has word
of condemnation for the hoodlums of St Louis
who killed men and stripped women for riding
in streetcars. nor for the Democratic officials
who tolerated the disorder. He has no word of
condemnation for Goebelism and It's frank out
rage on the ballot, but supported Goebel in his
campaign last year against the honest Demo
Gratis of Kentucky. He has no word now TO say
against the red shirts" who are terroriZing
North Carolina or against the riots and lynch
ings by which his friends in several States
show their contempt for the human liberty and
equality about which he prates
Thomas jefferson a Shareholder, but not
a negro Iyncher; a Democrat. but not an Anar-
chist. He thought every citizens concern was
the maintenance of order Mr.. Bryan's personal
concern is quite different. II is TO hold before
the lovers of disorder the prospect of free riot
as the price of their support.
