Then He Would Wake

The late Lord Dufferin was known
to his friends as one OF the most
charming OF men. His friends were OF
both sexes. Indeed. his platcnic gal

when he could safely indulge then,

journ in Rome, when Lord Dufferin
was British ambassador there.
There had been during the night a
shock of earthquake in Rome, which
naturally formed topic at the am
bassadorial dinner table next day. 1t
turned out that every one had felt the

Guns of the NIkasn,

The trials of the improved Elswick
gun mountings for the barbette guns
OF the Japanese oattiesnip Mikasa
seem to prove that they are a long
way in advance of anything yet in use
in our navy, says the st. James Ca
zette. From the after barbe.te, firing
unaimed shots, the gun was on one
occasion loaded and fired in thirty sec
onds on the best previous performance.
But the most remarkable result was
achieved by the forward barbette,
which. firing aimed rounds from open
gun, got off three shots in net period
of ninety-seven seconds, or at an av-
erage rate OF one rounu in thirty-three
and one-third seconds. AS, however,
the guns crew was merely scratch
lot, it Is possible that the Mikasa will
beat this performance in the future
She will, at any rate. approach the
rate OF two rounds per gun per min
ute, which means that from her four
12-inch guns alone she will be able to
hurl three tons Of steel at an opponent
within that time.

Europe, Canada, Cuba. Mexico, Central

change for those of the nations. while
the North and South, East and West
of the United States will pour their

Publicity for Trusts.

a REVIEW in the Washington
~ Star of the currents of econ

has operated to disarm suspicion and
fcrltIcism. Every Incorporated company
witch operates Independently or as a
member or a syndicate is, from the
moment of its organization, under con-
troll Of the law of corporations, a statute
that reaches to every detail Of corporate
organizations and management; COM
pels the periodical publication Of state
ments showing the exact condition of
the company's affairs: makes its books
and assets subject to official inspection
at all times: and holds directors and

can save from prison a fathless or

| powerful means to that end.

HE CONTENTION Of those
who argue that it Is both
IL. cheaper and better to try to
reform IL criminal than by
severity of treatment amid unwhole-
some prison conditions to drive him
deeper into crime receives striking re-
enforcement from an article in this
weeks Outlook descriptive of the Ber-
enger law in France.
The Berenger law. named in honor of
the present vice. president of the French
senate, was enacted in 1891. 1t pro-
viles that the penalty for every first
offense, not involving more than two
years of imprisonment shall be re-
mitted provided the offender commits
no new misdemeanor during the subse-
quent five years. Its purpose is to in
terest the culprit directly in his own
moral reform: and in the ten years
that it has been in operation the num-
Der of cases of second offense has de-
clined from 46 per cent of the number
of first offenses to "a per cent, Il gain Of
| more than 10 per cent. for right living.
Says the outlook:
Senator B"renger has Just introduced a
| new bill in the French parliament for the
wider application of his favorte principle
He wishes to confer upon juries the
power of recommending, with proper le-
gal restraints. the application of the law
to more serious cases Of crime not COW
| cred by the present statutes. Further
more. he proposes an earlier application
of the law. The judicial process in
| France. which differs from that of
American courts. favors this plan. As Il
rule. the accused appears before the
| judge Of Instruction, who examines the
ease and decides upon discharge. or prose
cution. If the accused cOnfesses his
| guilt. according to the new bill, the judge
OF instruction may apply the Berenger
law without the regular public prosecu-
| ti"n BY doing. there would be added
to the potent motive Of right conduct, SO
efficient for good during the last ten
years. another springins out of the nat
| ulal dread Of public exposure and shame
during public trial This would be !,
strong incentive TO the offender. who in
| this way would hope to escape in part at
least, the blows of social ostracism, often
| severe aud seldom Just. 1t might also
| save many criminals from that hardening
process which makes them ut heart the
| bitter foes of social order.
Slowly the uplift of Christian princi-
pies is making its way through the in
herited barbarites of pagan times; and

IL tion of return judges. having
= been fairly nominated by

tured contest healthful to party inter-
est, is now the official Republican ticket
and as such will expect united lRepub-
lican support. This can be given the
more cordially because it is a good
ticket, personally, geographically and
politically.

Vosburg for orphans court judge, now

tion. Finally, in the denomination OF
Commissioners Morris and Penman' a
precedent of long-standing has been
observed, in this case warranted by
good service. We repeat that it is ii
good ticket, and it will win.
A notable feature of the platform Is
the declaration for u uniform primary
law coupled WIN personal registrar ton.
In recent years the need OF both these
changes has grown in public recog-
milton, and the last state convention
empha sized it. 1t is evident that some
thing must be done to increase the con-
fdence between the party organization
and the mass of voters. The uniform
primary law, with personal registra-
tion, SO arranged as to compel greater
interest in the primaries, presents an
opportunity. 1t means Il nearer APP
proach to honestly representative gov
ernment, and soon the people will de-
lnand 1t. Better anticipate than get
run over by this demand.
In endorsing Mr.. Connell for United
States senator the convention undoubt-
edly reflected sentiment not limited
to Northeastern Pennsylvania; but the
choice of a senator is some months dis
tant. The immediate task Is to COOP
crate for a big victory in November,
and this should be done.
