The Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady,
the minister-author, has a country
house on the Delaware, and is very
fond of the shad that run up this
broad stream in the spring and early
summer, says the Washington Star.
The fishermen of the neighborhood
are aware of Mr.. Bradys weakness,
and take pains to cater to it. They
never fail, on the first spring casting
of the seine, to present one of their
largest shad to the clergyman.
But last spring the first cast was
made on a Sunday, and the fishermen
hesitated, therefore, about making Mr..
Brady their usual gift. Finally,
though, they decided to risk it, and
one of their number called at the
Brady residence with a fine shad.
Mr. Brady" he said, II took the
liberty of bringing you this fish,
THANK you, Tom. Thank you" said
the minister, and he relieved the other
of the shad.
''Only 1 must tell you," said Tom.
that the catch was made on a Sun
day. sir"
Mr.. Brady frowned. He half extend
ed the shad to the fisherman, then he
half drew it back again.
We'll, Tom" he said at length, "Ill
keep it, anyway. What happened was
wrong, but surely it was not this poor
fish's fault"

4 FREE USE OF THE POWER TO
PARDON

PARDON.
The Governor appears to be making
a very free use of his power to pardon
convicts. 1t is true Of course that the
pardons which he is granting are rec
commended by the Bolrd of PardOns.
but it is the Governors privilege to
call halt. We do not Of course know
the grounds on which these pardons
are being granted, except in very
general way. but We 10 know that
very free use of the pardoning power
causes the court to re Ak their efforts
to bring criminal 10 justice and en-
couraGes violations of the laws.
There are Of course cases where the
demands Of justice require the grant
ing of pardons. Such cases are where
it becomes evident that the applicants
for pardon were wrongly convicted or
where tie punishment is out Of all pro-
portion to the crime. There are of
course other causes, but, as a general
thing, sympathy for the family of the
convict is the reason for the pardon.
Mercy is of course commendable, but
the good of society ought to be the
first thing considered.
Among the pardons granted this
week are those of persons convicted of
crimes of violence. For years there
has been a persistent effort made by
the courts to check crimes of this
character. The offense of carrying
deadly weapons has been severely
dealt with. Judges have placed heavy
fines upon offenders of this class. A
big percentage of the crimes of vio-
lence are due to the pistol carrying
practice, and that is why the courts
are so severe in dealing with that Of
Tense
Unless these crimes of violence.
which have been so common, and
which still occur altogether too often,
are punished severely, they will con-
tinue to occur with alarming frequen-
cy. The courts, as far as we are able
to judge. are doing their duty. AS a
rule, juries convict where there is suf-
flcient evidence and judges impose
sentences which satisfy the public, but
there is constant complaint that be-
tween the reviewing court and the par
doning power so many offenders guilty
of crimes of violence succeed in e-cap-
ing punishment that the impression
prevails to a startling extent that such
crimes may be committed almo5t with
impunity.
In the effort to check crimes of this
class a great deal depends upon the
Governor and the Board of Pardons.
If they let it be understood that par
dons will be granted only when, actual
justice demands it, the courts will be
vigorous in bringing guilty parties to
justice, and 1t will soon be understood
that those who use the knife or pistol
without legal cause will have to suffer
the consequences of their acts. Then
the number of crimes of this kind will
rapidly decrease. Fewer homes will
be made sorrowfuI or desolate by
them.
1t is a remarkable fact that there is
comparatively little sympathy with
convicts who are guilty of crimes
against property, but great deal of
sympathy with those who are guilty of
crimes against the person. In other
words, it is much greater crime IN
the popular estimation to steal than IL
is to commit murder. If we are to
have law and order in the state the
Pandoning Board and the Governor
must be little less free in the use
of the pardoning power.

From the Chicago Tribun,

rrOIu the OnlcdSO tribune.
The angel of the twilight
Is CARRIED in holden gray
She comes upon the shadows
That hold the closing day.
Her wings beat slowly, slowly,
Her voice is of the blest,
AS comes her soothing grooming:
20, tired ones, 1 bring rest"
The angel of the twilight
If we could see her face
Is one of wondrous beauty,
OF gentleness and grace.
She pillows all the weary
Upon her garments folds.
And they who sigh of sorrow
Within her arms she holds.
The angel of the twilight
Sings rarest lullabies--
She croons of coming blessings,
Contentment and hearts ease.
The babe, the man. the woman,
Hear her low voice the while,
And sink to softest slumber,
Led by her song and smile.
The angel of the twilight,
Clad all in holden gray
She brings the gentle darkness
That hides the cares of day;
She brings us balm and balsam
From out the starry West,
When grooming, softly. slowly,
She murmurs: Il bring rest"

The footing of coal trains is becoming
common. Several instances of the sort
have occurred in the past few days. In
one of them, at Arcola. ILL.,, two min
listers Of the gospel and two bank pres
idents, besides a number of leading
citizens, were in the mob that attack
ed the train and took the coal that
was destined for another point In the
case reported in our dispatches yester-
day, at Bellevue. o., the Mayor and
eouncilmen were the leaders of the
raiders on the train. II is probable
that in all OF these instances the own
ers Of the coal will be paid in full for
the fuel confseated; nevertheless The
fact remains that the rsiding was
without warrant in law. Under
strict Interpretation it was robbery by
force; it was the rule Of the mob.

who. after seventeen years of fruitless
search, stumbled on a marvelously
rich vein of gold-bearing quartz. A
somewhat parallel case is reported from
Lancaster, Pa. A young man went
out in search of a coal dealer who
would sell him ton of anthracite.
The first dealer he spoke to said, 'Why.
certainly" and the price he named was
50 less than the, young man expected
to pay. The shock of unexpected sue
cess was too much for him, and the
young man fell dead at the dealers

AN INTERESTING LESSON.

The talk which Mr.. Rockefeller, the
son of John D. Rockefeller. the rich
est man in this country, and perhaps
in the world. had with his Sunday
school class last Sunday was most
interesting one-so interesting that
some of the New York papers gave full
reports of it. 1t was based principally
on the injunction of Christ to his dis
ciples to surrender all and follow Him.
Mr.. Rockefellers class is made up
almost wholly of middle-aged men, and
last Sunday they were not backward
in asking questions as to Mr.. Rookie
feller's views respecting the necessity
of disposing of riches as a preparation
for the life to come.
Mr.. Rockefeller talked freely about
the matter, and 1t was evident from
the questions that the immense wealth
most in the minds of every member
of the class. OF course Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter knew this also, and perhaps he sus-
pected that his remarks We're being
taken down for publication. Therefore
he was careful in what he said, and it
must be admitted that he acquitted
himself creditably. 1t is not his view
that a man must necessarily give up
everything he has in order to get to
heaven. He says that conditions to-
day are vastly different from what
they were in Christ's time. and that
the Bible must be interpreted in the
light of the different conditions.
No doubt Mr.. Rockefeller thinks, as
other rich men do, that riches are not
an insurmountabIe obstacle to entrance
into heaven. The struggle that is go
ing on all the time for the almighty
dollar justifies the conclusion that in
the minds of many people riches are no
obstruction whatever to entrance into
heaven. Either that is their view or
else they prefer riches to heaven.

A recent report of the superintend-
North Carolina-the county in which
Charlotte is situated-shows that 11S
miles of macadam roads have been
constructed there and are now in use.
All of these roads have been built to
last for all time: the improvement is
permanent, and the cost of mainte-
nance is low. The saving to the farmers
in transportation has been great, as
they can send their produce to market
in any kind of weather, and their
large as would be possible on the old
dirt roads. And then there are so
few break-downs of vehicles on the
roads thatS the expense of repairs has
been reduced to minimum. The val
ue of farm property along these roads
has increased greatly, and the far
mers are more prosperous than ever
before. Convict labor is employed on
the construction Of the roads. The in
vestment is an excellent one, and it
will bring returns for generations.
Is the desire of daring man for speed,
more speed, and still more speed, abb
solutely limitless? Here, for instance,
is Fourier, the French automobilist,
who has just arrived in New York
with a new machine built especially for
racing that travels a mile in thirty
four seconds! Its shape is something
like that of a boat, and it has a sim
gle seat, on the rear axle. The horse
power of this new monster is 800
enough to run saw mill or a steam
boat And the cost of the thing was
enough to pay for an excellent house
on a good lot in a city. Fournier pre-
diets that he will speed his machine up
to 1O5 miles an hour, and that if he
pleases he can maintain that speed for
an hour, or five hours, or all day. Why
a man should take his life in his hands
for only the purpose of going at that
mad pace is something not easily COM
pretended.
