GOVERNMENT BOND ERROR.

The Treasury Department yesterday is
sued twenty dollar coupon bond of tho
per cent loan of 1908 Spanish War
Loan, and shipped it to lady resident
at Lowell, Mass.
This lady. with her husband, made two
subscriptions to the loan in the sum
mer of 1883 of $500 each. remitting at
the time of the subscription per cent
Of the face value The subsequent pay
ments we're made from time to time in
accordance with the terms Of the sub
scription and when final payment was
made the department, through an error,
shipped $40 less than the amount Of bonds
to which the subscribers were entitled.
This discrepancy in the accounts Of the
department was discovered in the winter
Of 1899, but owing to the enormous num-
ber Of items In subscription account of
the loan of 1898, the error was not det1n-
itely located until few days ago.
The department wrote to the lady asking
her for her statement Of the transaction
and she responded and stated that she
had been aware all along that she had not
received all the bonds to which she WAS
entitled; but had preferred not to contest
the matter with the Government. 1t Is
needless to Say that the Government
never knowingly withholds anything due
creditor and it yesterday made GOOD
this error CT long standing.

TORTURE OF CRIMINALS.

Andrew Lang has been discussing, in
"Longman's Magazine" the question of
executions by torture. 1t seems strange, in
this day and generation, to speak of such
a thing, but 1t has been implied, if not
advocated, by numerous speakers and
writer's who are more careless of their
words than they ought to be. 1t is argued
that the deterrent effect of torture as
punishment for certain crimes is consid-
cradle, although, as matter of fact, his
tory shows that this deterrent effect is
practically non-existent. In the last an
alysis it is the moral state of the COM
munity, and not the punishment for any
particular crime, which determines the
amount Of crime committed In any given
year. and this is a thing which is made
up of many factors and elements.
There should be plain, straightfor-
ward. unsentimental treatment OF all such
questions as these. free from passion,
cant, or false sympathy. But. in the first
place, it Is important to recognize the
fact that punishment, in a civilized COM
munity. is not vengeance. 1t is simply
the means taken by the State for self
protection. No legislation can adequately
mete out the amount of punishment which
any criminal deserves. That is an ethical
problem, not State matter. 1t might be
considered that the criminal who has had
good training and advantages should be
punished more severely than the one who
has not, but this would be only because
the bad influence of his example is more
dangerous to the community.
When a man so far yields to the i'm
pulses of the brute side of his nature as
to commit murder, the problem what
shall be done with him verges on that
OF the fate of dangerous animal When
horse. or an elephant. OF dog proves
incorrigibly dangerous to mankind the
animal is killed as a measure Of safety.
but not tortured. Torture would simply
demoralze the person who inflicted 1t.
The situation in the case of human
brute is precisely the same. To subject
him to torture is to brutalize the tor
turers and do nobody else any good. 1t
is not good for the relatives OF his victim
to have their lust for vengeance satis-
fed in that way. 1t is not good for the
community to know of the thing In short,
the whole object of punishment and of the
machinery Of the law in a civilized COM
munity is to reduce and subordinate the
brute passions OF mankind not to indulge
or stimulate them: and the latter GER
tainly does happen when a criminal. how
ever vile or degraded is subjected to
unnecessary cruelty.

Predicts an Acquittal.

In view of the fact that he is the
Georgia attorney in the noted Green-Gay
nor case, a Times reporter asked Hon. T.
b. Fielder. of Atlanta, at the Shoreham
last evening to define the present status
Of the suit against his clients.
The Supreme Court of the United
States" said he, affirmed the decision of
the court below, refusing the habeas cor
pus. and on last Thursday the decision of
the Supreme Court was made the judg-
ment of the Circuit Court of New York.
1T is not true, as reported, that the de-
PENDANTS were forced to surrender to the
United States marshal to be Immediately
carried to Georgia for trial. Further pro-
ceedings could have been instituted to
prevent their removal, but an agreement
was reached with the District Attorney
which obviated the necessity for this.
Bail was agreed upon and given for the
appearance of the defendants in Savan-
nah at the next term of the court.
THE questions affecting the validity of
the Indictment were not passed upon by
the Supreme Court, but were left open,
the court simply holding that the points
would have to be raised in the court
where the indictments were preferred. In
due season a demurrer and q plea in
abatement will be filed, an appearance en-
tered and / am absolutely confident that
the case will be disposed of without going
into its merits. But IL the case should be
tried on it's merits, the defendants will
make such a showing as will demand a
verdict of acquittal."

On Life Parole to Remain in Mexico.
"I have a friend, a good American. who
is prisoner in Mexico and doomed never
to set foot again on the soil of the United
States" said Mr. NJ T. Linkins, of New
Orleans, at the Fairfax.
'He is in reality only a prisoner tech
nically; in practice he enjoys as much
freedom as any man, and is doing quite
well in a business way. The story is very
brief:
Dayton, the man referred to. got into
personal trouble with brother American
over business matter. They were both
cattle men, and when the difficulty arose,
were in the Mexican town OF Juarez.

Ell Paso, Tex. Dayton was the quicker OF

his man to death.

in criminal cases-fouud him guilty and
sentenced him to life Imprisonment. The
verdict was modified, however, and con-
fnement waived on the promise of the de-
fendant that he would meyer set foot out
side the boundaries of Mexico. He has
scrupulously observed the parole. and
though he occasionally walks to the brink
of the river and gazes longingly over upon
the Texas shores, there isn't money
enough in the Republic to tempt him to a
violation of his pledge
