Maudlin Sympathy.
From the New York Christian Advocate.

From the New York Christian Advocate.
There is no guilty wretch In any prfson
that could not humbug some soft head or
liquid heart into believing that he Is
greatly injured. An ancient proverb runs
thus: There's nothing that looks so
much like an honest man as a narrow
knave." Several cases of ministers taking
up villains OF the deepest dye have re-
Gently occurred. Some OF them have
bragg d the unsavory cases before women
and children and other members of reli-
gious congregations. Any thoroughly bad
man, unrepentant, Is sure to lie II lying
will help him out Of the difficulties into
which his iniquities have brought him.
The criminal has many more chances
than the law. II he is acquitted he never
can be tried again on the same charge
even II he stands on the city hall sreps
and declares himself guilty. But II he -
convicted he has many opportunities of
securing a rehearing. The emf rcement OF
law Is the sole protection Of society One
sinner destroyeth much good. The right
eous carry a policeman in their own con-
sciences; the wicked and the morally In
firm are ever with us. Until q man 10
proved guilty he should be free. even II
he be not a good man: but after he has
been proven guilty. let him suffer what
Is necessary for the Eell-being OF So
ciety. In the meantime help him to re-

BRIGANDs OF TONKIN.
Lives of Native Soldiers Too Prec-
ious to Risk Against Them.

From the South China News.
The outlaws in Tonkin whom the French
called pirates are properly speaking brig
anGs who infest the country both on land
and water.
One OF their resorts is the province of
Bacninh. where they have just murdered
a French officer. There the brigands
openly and successfully defy the forces of
the government. Long impunity in that
quarter has made them numerous and
formidab Bile. This need arouse no wonder.
consist of native soldiers whose lives are
too precious to be risked in frontal at
tacks on brigand Businesses.
just before the murder of the officer a
band of brigands made its appearance on
the railway line between Hanoi and Bac-
mini and inflicted loss on some native
levies who encountered them. Upon this
the resident sent for detachment OF
native regulars to deal blow at the en-
emy The troops met the brigands In
trenched in a village. one house in which
they had turned into a fortress. SO to
speak
The commander Of the troops found
himself in a fix. To send the regulars
across the open to carry the stronghold
by storm Under heavy fire from the brig
ands meant heavy loss and certain death
to many of his men to little purpose. The
only alternative was To blow up the
mouse along With us SdiIisOH. but tIilS
resource failed him from no explosives be-
ing at hand. The result was that the
brigands escaped.
A Ha;phong paper rightly wonders why
the troops in the field are not supplied
with melinite bombs. Such engines of de-
struction would save much loss of life
among the soldiery operating against the
brigands.
Yet no bombs are supplied to the troops.
though the hrigands have often defied
r falv fortified houses.
the troops would not attack from fear Of
a loss of life not worth while to incur
against outlaws.
The result of this weak kneed policy Is
that the brigand bands In that section OF
Tonkin increase steadily in numbers and
strength Pessimists say that In time
they will become too many to be terrified
by me!inite bombs.
