FROM CELLS TO POLLS.
alleged Plan by Which Vote in
Lantry's District Was Increased.

The charge that professional beggars were re-
leased from BIackwells Island in an irregular
manner. brought several weeks ago by the Char
tiles Organi tons Society, was added TO yester
day by politicians who have been working
against Tammany the East Side. They al
legged that criminals were released just before
election that they might vote in this city. sew
eraI, it said We're discharged on releases
secured through political influence, while others
got leave of absence from their cells, were per
mitted to come to this city a few days before
election and forced by this same influence to re-
turn and serve out their sentences. 1t is charged
that most of the men voted in the 22d Assembly
District. in which the Tammany leader is Com
missioner Francis J. Lantry of the Department
Of Correction. Others. it is said. voted in The
Sullivan districts.
One case was cited yesterday-that of John
Cosgrove who is alleged 10 have left the island
before election and to have returned after he
had voted.
Commissioner Lantry had nothing TO say about
these charges last night.

Decision Prevents Collecting Penal
ties Under Game Lazcs.

Albany, Dec. 6.-By a decision Of the Court Of
Appeals to-day in the case of the people against
Bootman and another the State loses it's last
chance to recover over 100000 penalties for
alleged violation OF the game laws. The court
affirmed the action of the lower courts dismiss
ing the complaint Of the State game authorities
who charged Jacob V. Bootman and Howard r.
Robinson of New-YOrk, with violating the
Forest. Fish and Game law by having in their
cold storage warehouses between May % and
June l, 1901, a quantity OF game birds. The
total amount demanded was 81 16S315
The defendants base their case on the claims
that they had knowledge of the exact con-
tents Of the cases of game which were stored
with them by the owners, and that none of the
birds were killed in the State. Ex-Governor
Frank s. Black argued the case for the State.

3 At the forthcoming session Of Congress
the Senate will DO called upon 10 ratily an
arbitration treaty which has becn nego-
tiated between Great Britain ana the
United States The exact te1t OF tho
treaty is not known. but 1t is said to be
substantially the same as the treaty now
in force between Great Britain and
France. Which Is all that could DO de-
sired and In no way Objectionable, 1t is
probable that "A mass meeting Will be hold
in Richmond at an early date to approve
tito general principle of international arr
bitration and specifically to request our
senators IN Congress to vote To ratify
any arbitration treaty between the United
States and foreign nation which. fol-
lows the general provisions Of the Franco

A Hint to Parents.

a we'll known citizen Of Richmond re-
marked the other day that during the
past year he lost at least three hundred
dollars in depredataons BY boys upon his
vacant property.
This sort Of vandalism seems to be
growing worse instead Of better In this
capital city Of Virginia, the seat Of gov,
ern1nGlit, where there should be, the great
est respect for law and the strictest es-
forcement Of law. Vacant houses are,
raided by the boy vandals; windows are
broken out, the walls defaced. doors 'un-
hinged, pipes destroyed and the prop
erty otherwise DANA gcd, and there are
few corner houses In tho city, whether
ioccuped or not, which are free from the
Inevitable chalk marks.
It is very difficult for the officers O
the law to prevent such conduct on the
part Of boys, for the boys are very care
full to be sure that no policeman is In
sight when their misclievolis work is
going on. The remedy lies in training
at home and training Mt school, and pa
rents and teachers should make 1t a
point to give needful and wholesome In
structlon in this direction to boys COM
mitted TO their care. Boys are expect
ed to be nisclrcvous and far be 1t from
us to rebukc them for any sort OF inno-
cent sport, but sport and even mischief
Of certain kind are very different from
acts Of vandalism and boys should be
taught that destruction Of property is
not only morally wrong, but criminal in
law
We urge upon parents In Richmond to
give this subject their careful and prayer
ful consideration. They should by nues-
tidning their boys and by other means
take pains to ascertain whether or not
| the lads engage In these works Of de-
struetIon, and then govern themselves ac-
cordingly. IT Is a duty which they owe
no less to the boys themselves than to the
property owners of the city and a duty
which should not be neglected. a little
care and discipline. well directed, will
work much needed reform.

Poets. Old and New.

In a recent Interview reported IN the
! london Daily News, Mr.. John Lane said
4hat the latter-day poet IS almost with
out an occupation.
never IN the course Of my experience
of publishing said he, has the demand
for poetry beet, so small as 1t IS nov;
vet never believe, has the general aver
age Of poetry. been 30 high have seen
no more striking change in the book world
than that Involved In tho fading pop,harl-
~ of poetry. l would say that a com
plete revolution has taken place In the
last dozen years.
.'And you think that ten or dozen
wears ago modern poetry was not flouted
as 1t ds now?
VERY much the contrary. 1t had not
then become fashionable TO say that Eng
land was artistically dead, and 1t was
possible to publish far more volumes Of
poetry. each of Which had far better
chance of being read. And now poetry
poetry as well as minor poetry is at a
discount"
When asked to account for this sudden
change, Mr.. Lane attributed 1t to the
series of wars which have occupied the
public mind since Spain and America
fought about Cuba.
This does not argue that the people
have lost their taste for poetry. One OF
the most popular features that The Times
Dispatch has ever introduced into Its
columns is the daily poem and Il we
should discontinue the feature there would
doubtless be cry OF protest from tho
great majority of our readers. The peo-
pie love poetry, but poetry is not like
commodities. which enter into general
consumption and arc destroyed. A good
poem lives forever ana becomes dearcl
the more 1t is read. TIE poetry. of all
ages is our inheritance. and 1t does no,
wear out. Every modern poet Is brought
into direct comparison and competition
70 to speak. with the best poets of al
ages, and unless ho measures up' TO thu
STANDARD the public will not readily buy
Ills verses. for they say that the old is
better. But tho modern poet who is able

can strike the popular chord. will find
