Colonel Burton. inspector general oil
the regular army, makes some interest
ing recommendation regarding the
army pistol. He thinks its caliber
should be greater than 80 instead OF
less, that its power Of shock may be
increased, lie Is of opinion that its
present range is greater than II need
be. These views are not in harmony
with those In regard to the army rifle
There the caliber has been reduced TO
about so, while the navy rifle has been
made 20, These are at the extremes from
the old idea Of the proper CALDER. The
first needle guns made at the Spring
field arsenal were 80 caliber and they
were subsequently reduced to As. Then
came thu 80 caliber. The smaller cali
bers have the great advantage Of al
lowing the men 10 carry many more
rounds Of ammunition, while the guns
have much flatter trajectory and
greatly increased carrying power The
effectiveness Of the pistol will not be
increased by decreasing the effective
ness OF its range.

constitutional convention has agreed TO

YELLOW JOURNALISM.

In these days Of discussion OF Vel
low Journalism and its responsibility
for one Of the greatest crimes of his
tory. an article in the current number
Of Grams Magazine. by Dr. Eugene
Murray-Aaron. ls-well worth reading.
The writer calls attention 10 a fact
which the general public is apt to over
look, and that is this, that the loudly
heralded enterprise of the lemoncolored
journals is merely pretense and fraud
The writer In Grams illustrates this
statement. He bought. the other day
In Washington, d, c., a copy OF the
New York Journal, before o'clock In
the afternoon, although II was marked
evening edition. This evening pa
per, he says. must have gone TO press
In New York before o'clock In the
morning.
The contents Of that imprint were
carefully analysed. There were i2i
items, and Of these IS related TO crimes,
accidents, police matters and various
sensations, Sporting and personal gos-
sip had "a: business g. and labor only
z. Then there were 20 short foreign dis
patches. | religious item and Is jokes
and general paragraphs. But what the
paper lacked In useful information, II
amply made up In headlines, A scare
head" on the first page occupied prac-
tically half Of that page, and the news
conveyed was the return Of Deputy Po-
lice Commissioner Deyery from his va
cation at Saratoga, an item that had
already appeared In the morning pa
pers.
Another issue OF the Journal analysed
in the same way. gave still less salts
factory results. This was an evening
edition for sale in Philadelphia before
noon. 1t had less than 20 per cent OF
such news as an intellectual reader
would care TO look at and that small
portion was so crowded into obscure
corners that IL was to be found only by
careful search. President McKinley's
historical address at the Buffalo Ex-
position was condensed into less space
than was given to one single word in
a scare heading" The entire total
of news, excepting rehash, was given
less space than a picture representing
Mrs. Nation and Police Chief Devery.
On day when fourteen important APP
pointments were made by the postal de-
partment, the Journal announced In a
dispatch marked special" that C. @.
Wilhelm had been appointed postmas-
ter OF an obscure hamlet In Indiana. an
announcement that was Of about as
much general interest as the statement
that Mr.. Wilhelm has just dug his po-
tatoes would be.
We have not seen a more true-to-lfe
picture Of yellow journalism than this.

fiecting. They take statements for

Persia is now as conterminous with

CONVICT FARMS.

The Chicago Evening Post Is quite
enthusiastic about the success achieved
by the system OF so-called convict
farms which has been tried In Missis-
sippi and also in the states Of
Alabama and Louisiana, In Mis-
slsslppl twelve such farms have been
established, mostly devoted TO cotton
growing, and last years income from
these farms Is said to have exceeded
Sl25,OO0. The state authorities are
about to bring under cultivation an
other 1900 acres, from which another
revenue Of 100000 Is expected from
convict labor.
The system Is not only financial
success, but IT'S moral influence is said
TO be quite as satisfactory. The pris-
oners are never idle. They are work.
ing In the open air. They are well
cared for, under strict discipline They
earn their bread In an honest way. and
make some restitution for the wrong
they may have committed All this has
most salutary effect upon them.
II Is quite possible that society may
realize some day, that II has duty to
perform toward its erring children. In
the direction OF reformation, and not
only retribution. And II would seem
that the most natural method OF cor
recting the moral defects OF human
nature would be 10 put those thus de-
formed to training In which honest
labor, under proper regulations, is the
main feature There is the most pro-
found philosophy in the Mosaic mar
rative of the fall, in which the sem
tence: I'm the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread" Is said to have fol-
lowed the first conviction for transgres-
sion. But that grand lesson has hardly
yet been fully learnt by those engaged
in reformatory work.
II is undoubtedly true that some
criminals are beyond rescue. as far as
human efforts can 60 and to those
nothing more can be done than the Jus
tlce that metes out retributlon. and a
the same time places around society a
safeguard against their evil deeds and
influences, But many others, forced by
circumstances against which they were
too weak TO struggle successfully, in
20 forbidden paths, are not beyond res.
cue, and the great problem u.s. what
ought society 10 do for them7
As TO the solution offered by the con-
Wet farm system, the objection will be
raised that the competition would be
detrimental TO free labor, free produc-
ton. Perhaps 1t would. But any ex-
listing system for the maintenance of
prisoners is tax upon the citizens, and
quite heavy tax. II penal institutions
were made. not to pay big revenue,
but to maintain themselves. and taxes
lightened In proportion, that objection
would seem to be entirely met.
In the Southern States, where con-
ylcts have been set 10 cotton raising,
their product has so far not had any
appreciable influence upon the price, 1t
has not been on a sufficiently large
scale for that What It may lead 10
Is different question. and on the re.
suits Of the system will depend wheth-
er the new departure win be perma.

not to give out list Of the contribu,-
