Ouay's Long Speech.

Senator Quay's speech was the long

Dages, and included a complete history

rom the earliest dawn CT history to

oers that speech and its purpose. It
vas prepared for Mr.. Quay when the
democrats were engaged in revising
he tariff. Every time they proposed a
.eduction in the iron and steel sched-
lie Mr.. Quay would take from under
neath his desk a pile of manuscript
bout three feet high and Degin to
.ead. After he had kept this up for
.wo or three days and had made no
apparent inroad into the mountain OF
.ypewritten sheets the Democrats
would succumb and suggest a compro-

before the close OF the year that ended

an interview, showing the splendid
condition Of the country in a financial
way, and the full purse of Uncle Sam.
In his statement he showed that four
years ago or a little more the per cap
lta circulation throughout the country
was only s23.14. but that although the
population has increased the volume Of
money has more than kept pace, SO
that the per capita at the first of the
year was s2S.73. A man named Schmidt
New York saw the statement, and
The day after New Year wrote a letter
to the treasurer saying that If the per
capita was SO much he certainly did
not have his portion of it. He inclosed
l { draft on the treasurer for the amount
hat he considered he was entitled to.
The draft was presented to Treasurer
Roberts with great solemnity, but he
declined to honor it. and directed that

ed for Publication.
A London paper gives an interesting
account of an album owned by the
Queen of Greece, to which many royal
~personages have contributed. Some Of
the opinions expressed in the book are
decidedly amusing. To the question,
"What is your idea of happiness?" the
King of Greece replied: Always to
have a sovereign without a crown"
The King of Sweden was asked what
was his conception Of real unhappi-
ness. and answered that he could think
Of nothing worse than tight shoes. a
corn and a heavy foot on it. When
Edward VII. was requested to reveal
the person against whom he bore the
greatest grudge, he answered: The
man who insists upon pointing MS
umbrella at me and exolaiming,
There he ISL" The Emperor of Aus
tria gave a different answer to his
query. and said he could think of no
person whom he disliked more than
the man whose customary greeting
was: Good heavens, how old you
look" The Empress of Russia an

siders her children the healthiest in
the world and who looks upon other
children as being very intelligent, but

TREATING CRIMINALS
WRITER POINTS OUT DEFECTS IN
PRESENT SYSTEM.
lArsh Punishmsnta Never Effective in
nuppressinE Mlsdseds-Proper Admin
Istfati0n of Present Laws Would Ac.
eomplish Much Good.

There is probably no subject of
greater Importance to organized So
ciety than the problem Of how to deal
with the criminal classes, SO as to re-
duce their number and thereby prevent
crime. Criminals tae.e always will be,
and hence some crime. How to mini
mize both deserves tie best thought
Of the hour.
1t Is often said that crime g on the
increase. 1t would be truer to say that
what constitutes crime Is constantly
being increased by legislation. Our
state Legislatures at every session pass
one or more statutes making certain
acts misdemeanors which were not so
before. Real crime and actual crimi-
mails are rapidly fading away before
the advancing light of civilization and
education.
Punishment for crime has much to
do with making criminals. This state
ment seems paradoxical, but 1t is an
saved from a life of crime by the
proper administration of the criminal
laws. It used to be thought that ever
ity Of punishment was the wise
course, indeed the only method, to pre-
vent crime. Fear, no doubt, deters
many: but It ia not fear that must be
chiefly relied upon to save men from
crime. No man was ever made better
BY being put in the stocks. Severity
10 useful only In cases in which refor-
nation Is hopeless and IN which abso-
lutte removal from all social inter-
course is therefore necessary.
We are rapidly coming to believe
that kindness and close supervision are
the best prevendves Of crime. There
ID no more cruel. inhuman or unwise
provision, says ]. Franklin Fort in the
Forum, than that Of the New York
constitution which requires the Judge
to impose for a second ot1ense double
the penalty fixed by law for the crime
Of which the offender is convicted. It
simply substitutes brute force for rea-
son and righteousness. Criminals and
penalties must both be graded. Time
has demonstrated the wisdom of so
doing. Until within q few years-say
dfteen Is the greatest period-all the
states confined convicted persons,
whatever their 8 or offense, in the
same prison. and the penalty imposed
had to be served by all inmates alike
tor the term imposed. Such Is still
the case In many states. But gradu-
ally there has grown up n a drst step

Rhodes died yesterday afternoon
Since morning this result was expect

cause.
He was only At years old but one q

was to create q great African empire,

This entire city is In mourning.
Bells YER tolling, flags are at half

Expressions of sorrow and regret are
universal.
Mr.. Rhodes became critically Ill two
weeks ago, and his heart gave him
great trouble. He was kept alive by
oxygen and daily cable consultations
with the most eminent specialists Of
London were maintained and their In

Protection for Public Men,

An Austrian inventor has perfected a
garment which, it is claimed, will re,
sist a knife thrust or a bullet from an
assassin's pistol. Its adoption will
furnish wonderful protection to rulers
and public men, and while it is neces-
sary to protect their bodies from harm
On the outside, it is infinitely more i'm
portant to protect them from serious
danger on the inside, such as may
arise from a disordered stomach, weak
kidneys or impure blood. The best
health maker and protector known to
science is the old reliable Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. For fifty years it
has been making sickly people well by
curing all such ailments as sickhead-
ache, Indigestion, dyspepsia, fiatulency
and insomnia. It is also a splendid
spring tonic and blood purifier, and
should be in every household.
