There seems to be something entirely
wrong with our system of dealing with
that lower order of citizen commonly
known as wife-beater. Daily cases
of this nature are heard in magistrates
courts, the man is either reprimanded and
sent back to his home to continue his
brutal treatment, or he is given term
in Jail if the case Is particularly Migrant
and his family is then deprived or MS
support The general consensus OF
opinion will be that the family Is better
off without him, but In many cases ms
confinement means great sunering lot

against a brutal husband or, II driven to
desperation for the time being she does
have him arrested, so often intercedes for
him when he appears for trial. Every
one will agree that these men should be
punished: their brutality is something
that makes decent citizen shudder, but

present system makes 1t necessary 10

discussed in various sections OF the coun-

earn a certain amount each day and turn
the proceeds over to his family.
There are some objections to the plan,
but they are not such as are insurmount-
able At all events. the proposition Is
worthy of consideration.

Eggs!

Have the hens all gone on strike, or
have the eggs all gone into cold storage?
One or the other of these conditions
certainly exists. judging from the prices
that now prevail in the local markets.
Here at season of the year when there
is every reason to believe the atmosphere
of the farmyard is vibrant with the
cachinnatory announcement of fresh ar
rivals, eggs are selling at 40 cents a
dozen at retail. The grocer man tells
his indignant customer that he pays IS
cents dozen, which gives him a gross
profit of little more than per cent
not an unreasonable earning on his in
yestment. But somewhere back of the
grocer man somebody is getting rich off
the hens and the egg eaters. Judging
from the condition of many of the eggs
that reach the table, the ammonia cooled
storage room walls could tell. If they
could talk, some interesting stories of
how the often-quoted law of supply and
demand is being juggled by those who
are taking toll of the public appetite
The other day the Department of Agri-
culture in its pure food work encountered
a legal snag that checked it from
preventing the marketing of what are
known as adulterated eggs, a phrase that
appeals qualmishly to the stomach. Con-
sidering the kind of eggs that are mostly
handed out, the average buyer will be
willing to pay a good, round price for
goods that come straight from the hen
TO the frying pan, without chilling pauses
on the way. But whether fresh or cool
or adulterated or what not, eggs that
cost 10 cents a dozen have gone into
the class of luxuries, and about the only
remedy the average consumer has Is to
keep a hen as family pet.

Talking About the Weather.

wait It'll the clouds roll by, Jennie.
The republican sky in New York today
is heavily overcast. Nobody seems IL
expect the weather to clear before No
vember. Mr.. Barnes, it is true, accepts
the situation. Mr.. Root has said that
his 'magnanimous friend Mr. Sherman,
will do his duty. Nevertheless, the uues-
ton of the hour is, VIII the rank and file
in ''old guard" territory do their duty?
If not. then the Cleveland majority of
1882 and the Morton majority of 1894
may have a companion for size and en-
phasis. Still, a change is not impossible.

impress beholders CLOSE up?
Mr.. Clark is distributing" himself
as freely as possible. His services are
not required at home. His constitu-
ents need no prodding by him as to
their duty on election day. And so he
is lending a hand here and there in
behalf OF democrats wrestling with dir
ficulties in close districts.
But this does not take him to Ken

mental pilgrimage. His services are

The Prison Congresses.

II is doubtful whether ever before so
large and representative an assemble ge
of men and women who are practical
students of the problems of penolosy has
occurred as that now in Washington,
comprising delegates to three large bod
les the International Prison Congress.
the American Prison Congress and the
American Institute of Criminal Law and
Criminolosy. Coming from all parts of
the world and of course in greatest num-
hers from different sections of this coun-
try, these delegates are about to engage
in series of discussions regarding the
most humane and the most effective
means of preventing and Furnishing crime.
The fact that this subject has come to
enlist the attention and devoted service
of people of the highest humane inspira-
ton attests to the great advance that
has been made in the world in the treat
ment of those who do not comply with
the dictates of civilization and with the
rules and ordinances prescribed by So
Ciety for its protection.
In ancient times, and even in days re-
membered by living persons, the under
Wing principle of the treatment of law
breakers was founded upon the Mosaic
iIw. Reprisal, revenge, punishment alone
animated authority in laying hands upon
the offender and mprisoning him or taxi
ing bis life. The present thought of all
Intelligent communities is to prevent
crime Capital punishment is reluctantly
applied as the most impressive form OF
punishment, as an example rather than
an act of lawful vengeance. The average
prisoner is rated as unfortunate rather
than malicious. He is viewed as capable
of reformation rather than as nope
less outcast from society. Various meth
DDS have been adopted to prevent the de-
struction of his spirit, to keep him from
turning in anger upon his fellows, to cure
his faults, to give him a more who esome
view of his social obligations, to re-es-
tabliSh him in society. 1t is a backward
community indeed that has not chosen
this course in dealing with it's offenders
of differing degrees. and the day is near
al hand when a Jail will be regarded as
a place of temporary detention rather
than. as place of punishment, and a
penitentiary will be an institution of
learning where the lessons of good citi-
Zcnship are taught.
Much is to be expected from the dis
cussions of the present conferences in
Washington. Unfortunately in one respect
the capitals equipment for the punish
ment and cure of lawbreakers is made
quate and does not represent the highest
ideals of modern penology. But happily
a beginning has been made toward the
evolution here of a model system of re-
formatory institutions. and perhaps 1t is
we'll that the present opportunity is af-
forded in such circumstances for the
study. through the deliberations of these
bodies, of the most approved methods Of
caring for lawDreakers. If the highest
wisdom of the world as expressed in the
debates of these three organizations can
be applied to the evolution of the Dis
trict's penal system, the delay may have
been advantageous.

Miss independence League.

The belle of the hour is William Ran
dolph Hearst. Miss Democracy is often
represented as an elderly lady. trlcked
out with corkscrew curlS and an album
dance of founces. Miss Independence
League is much younger. and decidedly
good looking She wears no glasses. Her
cheeks are full and rosy. Her figure is
attractive. Her. attire is rich, though not
gaudy, according to famous advice. and
the style strictly up-to-date.
The republicans have made their bid
for the lady's favor. Bosses and crooks
are denounced, trusts lambasted, real
popular rule declared for and trust
prosecutor. if not trust buster, nomi-
mated for governor. What says the young
lady to the program? If she agreeable" ?
If so. smile, or a. nod. or d slight mo-
ton of the fan, will answer. Now is her
chance If she wants the right kind of
company.
The democrats are preparing their bid.
The young lady is entering into their cal
culations at Rochester. They would be
glad of her society for the present occa-
sion, and hope to please her. She has
been unified with them for several years.
but there was a time when they pleased.
Why not return of the old time, when
all were happy?
Although Mr.. Murphy is holding him
self in as well as may be, it is the general
report from Rochester that he is the
strongest individual force present. Every
body is consulting him. Tammany's power
is conceded, and must be taken INTO &C
count even with the republicans at dag
gers drawn among themselves.
This being true, the question may be
asked. What hope can there be of terms
with Mr.. Hearst? If the ticket and the
platform are to be made acceptable to Mr.
Murphy, how can they, be made accepta-
BILE to Mr.. Hearst? Are the two men not
sworn enemies? Have they not fought
each other like furies?
Yes. but at other times they have fought
together. MFR. Murphy it must be re-
membered, once helped to nominate, and
then supported, Mr. Hearst for governor
The bulk of the support Mr.. Hearst re-
ceived in that campaign came from Tam
many Hall. And it is likewise true that
Mr.. Hearst served two terms in Congress
as a Tammany democrat What has been
may be again.
The proceedings at Rochester will be
worth every moment given to them More

ordinance prohibiting expectorating In
public conveyances, buildings and on the
sidewalks. This ordinance was passed
through the efforts of the society and, al
though it has been in effect for num-
Der of years, it has thus far practically
proved a dead letter. That the prohibi-
ton is a wise one and Of the greatest
interest in conserving health cannot be
doubted. The splitting habit is one Of the
most detestable in itself from the stand
point of cleanliness. and as means OF
spreading disease germs it has few peers.
1t is gratifying to note that the society
intends to enforce the ordinance, and 1t Is
to be hoped that it will receive the sup
port of the magistracy of the city when
arrests for such offenses are made.

Beware of Flies.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
At the end Of summer, when accumula-
tons of typhoid filth are largest,
flies are most likely to carry germs OF this
dread disease. The first cool nights drive
the pests to seek shelter and they natu-
rally swarm into the warmth Of inhabited
houses. Therefore the next few weeks
are the time of year when 1t Is most nee
essary to exclude flies as thoroughly as
possible and destroy before they con-
taminate food all those that obtain access
to the home. Every housewife should
take special care to fight dies at
this season, when a little extra caution
NAV prevent sickness and death.

late Mr.. Stimson. The occasion calls
