Because I have sent four scouriers to

found Butler with his one gun in battery

him. General Stuart says withdraw in

Stuart still held Pennington off, and as
Butler rounded into the road to the ford,
his command had to run the gauntlet Of
fire. 1t dashed through the fire into the
river and was quickly on the other
bank, safe from further molestation.
Beside the stores and prisoners captur-
ed at Chambersburg, the raiders rounded
up 200 horses and safely brought them
into the Confederate lines.
Stuart's luck had been marvellous. Az
ter leaving Chambersburg, he marched
ninety miles inside of twenty-seven hours,
although numbered with his artillery and
a large herd of captured horses and
though wearied by the excessive tax of
two days and nights of constant march
ing together with some hours of sharp
conflict, he forced the passage of the Po-
tomac under the very eyes of forces fresh
and which largely outnumbered his own.
His only casualty was the wounding of
one man. Two men who had struggled
were captured.

BY REV. W. H. MeLAUFLIN, D. D.,
CHURCH:

10 the necessary degree of mental and
moral health. Liberation depends on the
requirement of character and not on the
original offense. The principle Is that OF
dealing with the criminal and not with
his past crime, and is the same as is APP
piled to the lunatic in the asylum, or the
victim Of yellowjack in the pesthouse. GO
not forth until you are well, but go just
as soon as you are we'll" The reason for
this ought TO find acceptance in every sane
mind, for no one can tell beforehand
what is a just penalty for any crime. Men
are born so unequal. environed so unlike
and are trained in such opposite schools
that only God, who judgeth the heart can
know the measure of guilt in any instance
The intermediate grade accompanies the
indeterminate sentence. To this grade the
condemned is assigned when he enters
upon his life of confinement. Instead OF
the solitary method of Pennsylvania,
instead of the silent" modes Of manage
ment sometimes called the New York"
method, he enters the healthful and help
full association of the social" system-a
grouping of prisoners in classes, where
the conduct of one affects the standing
of all. Thus each one becomes interested
in the improvement of every other one.
A system OF merits and dement's is in
operation, first introduced to the world by
a leader in prison reform, Alexander
Maconochie. So many demerit marks
against him, and the prisoner descends to
a lower grade than the intermediate,
where he began. He puts on striped
clothes and is subject to variety of dis
agreeable limitations and infections, but
the door of opportunity is still open. So
many credit marks gained will elevate
him from his low estate, remove his zebra
coverings, pass him through and beyond
the intermediate grade, over to the high
est. Through exercises, gymnastic, hy-
gienic. intellectual, ethical, through subtle
STRINGS of hope, through the love Of
freedom, through the longing, never who'll
ly lost, for kindred and for home-mighty

THE NEW PEN0L0GY
PASTOR OF THE UNIVERsALIsT


there comes naturally and in good time,
fitness for the position of trust which is
accorded; then the 'ticket-of-leave''
tether, which is extended; then the pa
role, which is allowed. and then, and only
then, when he has satisfactorily demon
strated his fitness for it, a full restora-
ton to citizenship.
In theory the new penology rests har-
moniously on the later jurisprudence, now
well-nigh universal, that everyone shall
be held innocent until proven guilty. He
shall have the benefit of the doubt. This
view at once denies the doctrine, that at
the center OF mans being there is a dead
ly depravity. and finds instead an indie
structible integrity. 1t finds something
to appeal to-something that In most cas-
es responds when the right appeal is per-
sistently, firmly and kindly made, though
ii be made with much severity, which is
often an indispensable adjunct in the
treatment of the criminal. Furthermore.
and reformatory discipline is in accord
the theory of the indeterminate sentence
with the new theology, which has TAX
en- possession of the minds and hearts of
the great religious teachers of this age,
to-wit: That Gods method in this world,
and in all worlds, is that of opportunity
and OF hope, of persistent appeal, of the
strivings by kindness and severity, for
the betterment of every lost soul.
1t is not yet possible to declare the full
fruition of good things, resultant from
the new manner of dealing with crimi
nails. One thing we know is that tn,
old way, with it's determinate sentence
its spirit OF retaliation, not to say ven
geance, have signally failed. We know
that Draco's system failed; we know thai
