VIM. STANLEY AND BLACK ASSAIL- ANT LIE DEAD AS RESULT OF
 DESPERATE FIGHT NEAR ABBE- VlLLE-STANLEY'S THROAT CUT

Montgomery. April N.-A special to the Advertiser from Abbeville, Ala, says:
 As a result of a desperate fight at close quarters yesterday morning. William Stanley, a merchant living eight miles from Abbeville, and Ben Gilmore, a ne- gro, lie dead, the white man with his throat cut and the negro pierced with a rifle ball.
 The theory advanced by those who went to the scene is that Stanley shot the negro and was unable to get away, being seized and cut to death before the negro died. Gilmore lived four hours af- ter being shot, and in his ante-mortem statement he said he had no idea Stanley would shoot him, and that when he did he (Gilmore) crawled up to Stanley and cut his throat.

SuPT. FRANK MCDONALD Of the Minneapolis
workhouse has inaugurated plan to assist prisoners
discharged from his institution. In this work he
has secured the cooperation Of q number Of promi-
nent charity workers of Minneapolis. The idea is
to find employment for such discharged men and
women who are deserving Of assistance and to en-
courage them to lead honest lives in the future.
Good results will follow this new departure. Not
every that gets into the workhouse is lost
under existing circumstances and when prisoners
can leave there and go Immediately to work many
will profit by the experience and keep out Of trouble
in the future. AS things are now, a man leaving
the workhouse is usually in desperate straits AL
most invariably he is penniless. the police always
have him marked as one who is ripe to be "moved
on and if circumstances do not force him to steal
his case is the exception to the rule very little
practical assistance and encouragement would save
many such cases from the penitentary.

THE belief that the many recent mani estations
81 wholesale disregard IT Law and order are the REL
sult Of too lax laws Is prevalent It Is often said
nowadays that moro drastic penal code and more
immediate enforcement Of the laws already in exist
ence are necessary to check crime This belief is
evidently founded upon the idea that person about
to commit crime weighs and considers all the
sequences and possible consequences before acting
Nothing could be farther from the truth. There
isn't man living who, If he stopped to think what
q term in prison means, would ever commit penal
offense Crimes are committed either IN the heat Of
passion when one idea has driven all others from the
mind, or else when the criminal has so arranged
matters that he is morally certain he will not be
caught In neither case does he for one moment
consider what his punishment will be if he is caught
Experience has proven that drastic punishment does
not diminish crime. On the contrary it seems to
foster it. There used to be some seventy odd hang
ing offenses in England, and there was more crime
then in proportion to the population than there is
today when there but two capital ofenses.
Ii We should revert to the old time code there might
be diminution Of crime for little while bnt in
short time it would break out again worse than ever
There is more or less general disregard of law
Just now not because the penal code is too mild but
because the popular ideals are false and the accepted
standard of morals low. In America money is the
single gauge of success today IL has it, he is
person to honor and respects if he lacks it. he s of
little consequence. It doesn't matter how he gets
it.; he can even bride and steal and ruin hundreds
of innocent and trusting persons; if he's got the
money all will be forgiven. Is it any wonder that
crime is increasing under such circumstances? How
can the common people respect the law when the
supreme court of the commonwealth is the creature
of corporation, is commonly believed to be the
case in Missouri? How can there be general re-
spect for law when our lawmakers acting under the
instruction of boss, give away public franchises
worth millions of dollars, as was done in Pennsyl-
vania? How can there be respect for law when a
man like Mr. Rockefeller can defy it with impunity
all his life? How can the law be respected when it
is made the tool of any man with money! The law
will be respected when in the eyes of the people
honesty, integrity and uprghteousness are prefera-
BILE to money at any price; when knayery is not ex
cused in the one who is financially successful any
more than in the who is not And it will not be
respected until then.

VALED1cToRY sayings are commonly fatuous
but Gen. Miless farewell address to the army is an
exception to the rule. A high and fine spirit Of
patriotism pervades it and it fttingly closes his
military career He enumerates the qualities indis-
pensable to good soldier, earnestly urging officers
and privates to cultivate them. Loyalty, humanity
and justice Gen. Miles thinks are as necessary to the
mental and moral equipment Of soldier in the
United States army as bravery. These qualities he
says, have made our army honored and respected in
the past and must be cultivated if it is to have the
support of the whole people in the future. His
reference to Washingtons Newburg address is timely
and may perhaps be the indirect means Of familiar
izing many with that great speech who are now
strangers to it There will be some, of course, who
will see nothing in General Order No. 116" but
gtterng generalities and patitudes but then there
are some who can Bee no good in anything.

JUDGE CLIFFORD, of the Gregory county IN. 70
court last week denied sixty applications for natura
zation papers the ground that the applicants could
neither read, write speak the English language.
His action will appeal to most people good prec-
edent to establish There places in this country
where one might spend lifetime and not hear the
English language spoken once year. In New York,
Chicago and the other large cities there colonies

ton makes them easy dupes of unscrupulous leaders.
And yet they vote regularly. Such condition was
not anticipated by the trainers of the constitution.

Clifford that, "When man has been in this country
