The Death Penalty for Habitual
Criminals.

I'm address ON the "Pardons and
Fnpishments," delivered before the
Prison Congress at Chicago last week,
Attorney General Bonaparte renewed
lsis s~negestion that the death penalty
he inflicted upon certain classes OF
7.ahituai criminals. His idea, which
has been somewhat sensatiOnally
treated by some of the newspapers,
was by no means SO radical as has
been made to appear. He proposed,
80 use his own words, that when a
man has already been thrice convict
ed of major crimes, upon his convic-
tom for his fourth ofense of the like
grade, ne should be liable, in the dis
cretion OF the court, to the death pen
atty
There is nothing revolutionary IN
the Attorney Generals idea, nor can
1t be attributed. even by the most
RySterical Of the humanitarianS to a
blODG-thirSty habit Of mind on the
part 81 the p%roponent. If u meas
ares OF punishment were adequately
applied in all cases, the candidate
whcra Mr.. Bonaparte has nominated
for Che death penalty would never
qualify for the nomination. His con-
victiOn for three major crimes should
suffice to keep him in jail practically
all the remainder of his life and his
opportunity to commit the fourth
would never offer. But our penal SyS-
TEN is notoriously faulty. The Grim
inal is offered numerous avenues Of eS-
cape from the penalties aimed at him
There is the ten6er-heartec jury with
its qualified verdict: the tender-neart-
ed judge with his leaning toward the
minimum sentence, and tnS tender
hearted pardOning authority with the
KEY Of the cOnvict'S cell door cOnven-
iently near to its hand. So that it is
en- 5irely possible for the ''habitual
criminal to commit four major
crimes and it may be that a hand
full Of u criminals might feel the
batter draw, were Mr.. Bonaparte's
suggestion accepted.-New Orleans

Some Reflections.

It is remarkable how many differ

live in Grenada, a find for a news
paper. They regard it as a nice me-
diusn to appriSe the public Of their
achievements? PIN the fields of science,
art. literature, pedagogy, Of their vic
tories on the roStrum and at the bar.

praise their living, write a nice

Wedding, eXpatiating much upon her
many excellent (?) qualities of mind
and heart. 1t is even expected, in
fact you are asked, to make mention
Of certain business arrangements or
changes, the request being accOmpan-
led with the soothing declaration that

some people" amounts to about 80
cents. They can hunt you up to tell
you about occurrences in which they
think they are the hero, they love to
see their names in print-but they
never think of the paper that has
boosted them when it comes to pay
ing out a dollar, their work goes some
where else. Hence this paper has
about concluded to let them exercise
the same privilege of going some
where else, hereafter, when it comes

pleasure to make people feel good with
themselves, he does not expect pay for
that, but he does expect a small exhi.
hition Of gratitude when similar IA
Nvors are to be bestowed by the other
party. No enterprise or business is
ridden like a country newspaper. All
towns are afflicted with riders. Gre
NADIA has not more than her share.
These people of whom we write may
soothe their eonsciences by saying,
I'VE give you something to fill up"
To all such w respectfully say that
we have never been so put to it"
yet for ~"fllers."
A country newspaper must boost
everything, compliment every promi-

community and be worked by every
man who has a bazoo to blow. But

STATESMEN RETIRE,
Several Members Of Congress Finish
Their Public Career.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-This was
a day for "swan songs" at both ends
of the capitol. With the close OF the
present session, which will end at noon
on Monday, the curtain drops on the
congressional career of q number of
we'll known members-merely an in.
Permission for a few, perhaps, but un-
questionably the final curtain for a
good many.
In the house the familiar faces OF
Grosvenor, of Ohio, Dovenor, of West
Virginia, Bankhead, of Alabama,
Wadsworth, of New York, Babcock,
Of Wisconsin, Lacey, of Iowa, Nc.
Cleary, Of Minnesota, Fred Lands,
of Indiana, and other members of
more or less prominence will be miss.
ing when the Sixtieth congress con-
venes.
Among those who 20 out of the sen.
ate with the end of this session are
Patterson, Of Colorado, Dubois, of
Idaho, Clark, OF Montana, Dryden, of
New Jersey, Blackburn, Of Kentucky,
Carmack, Of Tennessee, Willard, of
Nebraska and the veteran, Berry, of
Askansas.
While members come and members
go, the congressional careers of q
lucky few appear, like the babbling
brook, to run on forever. In this cor.
nection some one recalled the fact
that the venerable Senator William
Boyd Allison, of Iowa, was 70 years
old today. Needless to say he re-
ceived a continuous stream OF con-
CALCULATIONS from members of both
branches of congress.
The anniversary also reminded his
colleagues that on Monday "Uncle
Billy" as he is endearingly known
by everyone in national public life,
will have rounded out AZ years in con.
grees and 81 years in the United
States senate-a longer term than any
other man in the chamber, and, with
n exception, the longest in the his.
tory of the republic.
The next longest term of any present
senator is that Of John T. Morgon, of
Alabama, with 30 years. Close behind
him are the two senators from Maine,
Mr.. Hale and Mr.. Frye, who entered
the senate together 26 years ago, and
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
who came several months later. Mr..
Allison's lead is already so strong
that with the two remaining years Of
his present term added he will prob.
ably hold the record for q century to
come.
Senator A~llison's health occasioned
some concern at the beginning of this
session, but he appeors now to have
completely recovered from his illness.
During the past month he has been in
his seat every day, and is as active
on the floor, as clear of thought and
ready in speech as ever.
