Te the temporary irritations of personal disappointment may easily be pardoned the very indiscreet, foolish and even some utterly untrue statements, with which can didates for the revenue collcctership of this district and thelr friends new rush into print. The most of these answer them selves, and need no reply from tliose against whom they are directed. The president has no doubtbecemoused te being accused one day of unworthy motives and of yield ing te improper influences by the very men Who the day bofero appealed vainly te such motives and invoked the aid of such influences. Ilecau stand it; and these of less responsibility and power can take their share with equanimity. But when our esteemed contemporary, the Yerk Aye, whose editor was a candi. date for the position, undertakes tobelittle the great body of loyal and long-suffering Democrats of Lancaster county, by con trasting them and their services with his I own constituency, the Intelliqenceu cannot and will net refrain from testifying tQrthe truth. There is no body of Dcmecrhts in tne commonwealth mere entitled te the respect of their party than the loyal and sttvJfast organization in Yerk county Their fidelity te geed principles, and the rpsults sljQWfi Te He Kicked. It disgusts ene with representative gov ernment te see the antics of the ussiulne legislators of Fenusylvnula. It has Ixh-ii the fashion te attribute legislative felly te partisan malice; but that will net account for the silliness of the Democrats who have refused te sustain the governor of Pennsylvania in his vetoes of unworthy appropriations, and of a most un just apportionment bill. It was net conceived te be possible, until it was dene, that the lower llouse would dccline te stand by the governor in his refusal te grant te empleyes of the Btate moneys be yond the amount of the salaries they agreed te serve for; nor was itlKilieved that Democratic senators would se far forget their duly as te be bribed, by seme partiality in the apportion ment bill te their own districts, te de the gross injustice te the Democrats of I the )rcst of the state that is dene by the I Republican apportionment bill for which they voted. Tlicre is no reasonable excuse for the votes of these recreant Democratic senators and representatives. They were bound te regard the interest of the state and were net at liberty te violate it for the profit of the empleyes of the state or for the advantage of their own districts. The senators who were Induced by tills consid eration te vete for a bill obnoxious te their party and condemned by its paipable un fairness te that party in the state, were unworthily bribed by conside rations of personal advantage te de a great wrong ; and they will Buffer for it. The representatives who showed their eagerness te despoil the state, at the solicitation of the petty hirelings about them, earned a kicking by their constituents, en their return home, into a slate of uusitablu soreness.

The Yerk county Democracy are our neiehbers and our friends. If tliey ever beceme less it must be by their own act. If the collectership could net be kepthere, wltere it belongs, for business and political reasons, the Lancaster county Democrats would have leen most pleased te have seen it ledge in Yerk. The largest amount of business of the office, mero than a third and nearly a half of its collections, is transacted here, and here the collector has been located since the internal revenue system was ilrst established. Moreover the Democrats of Lancaster county have net been a pace behind these of Yerk pr of any ether county in their II dclity ie Democratic faith and their loyal devotion te Democratic works. Without offices te reward them, without iositiens of profit or honor te tempt them, and without any incentives, except their sound princi princi ples,they have steed straight and steadfast in sunshine and shadow. It is tnte that Republican majorities in crease here, like Democratic majorities in Yerk and Rerks, and for the same cause, that the natural increase is greater with the majority party, and when that organization num bers nearly two te one of the population its greater increase is proportionate. In 1884 Lancaster county cast 9,953 votes for Cleveland ; Allegheny, Ilerks, Luzerne, Molitgemory, Philadelphia, Schuylkill and Yerk alene did better. Fer Patti Patti seu only these counties did better than Lancaster. Fer Hancock, tee, the samd counties and no ether polled mero votes than Lancaster county's Democracy. Sure ly the members of an organization that have se constantly held high place in their party have seme rights that even their mero favored brethren who fatten in the rich pasture of Yerk's Democratic power will net begrudge. And if their own rights are net conceded te them, or are sought te be wrested from them, who will blame Lancaster county Democrats for asserting them and standing up for them ? We don't propose te take a place behind the deer, nor te be crowded into such a position. Paid Fer It.

A Senate bill proposes te enact that boiler inspectors shall be appointed for every county, and that all theso who use boilers for generating steam shall insure against any and all less of life and personal injury. The bill evidently has been prepared in the interest of seme boiler insurance company. The requirement that insurance shall be taken against less of life and personal in jury indicates this clearly. It will require every user of a boiler te carry an enormous Insurance, for protection against the pos sible injury te life and person by an explo sion. It will be impessible te estimate hi advance what such liability may amount te. The explosion of a single boiler may possibly injure a great many people,andthe damage, if it could be measured in money, might, be very great. Thore is no way of estimating such damage unless by a resort te a jury, and the litigation produced by the proposed law would be excesslve. Damage te life and limb is new provided against in life and accident insurance com panies, and there is no need that lieilcr in suraneo companies should enter into tills business. As the law new stands any ene who uses negligently, a boiler for making steam se as te cause damage te ethers, is responsible for the injury dene. This bill proposes te add te this responsibility that also of uuferscen and unpre unpre ventnble boiler explosions, by requir ing Insurance te be taken out by boiler owners against such accidents. It is putting an unnecessary and vexatious burthen upon manufacturing industry. The legislature has just taken off the tax upeu the dividends of manufacturing com. Red Ret. They are having a skyrecketty time of it in Philadelphia ever the railroad question. Lawyers by the score are addressing the people and councils by day and by night. The Pennsylvania railroad, which stepped rashly into the path of the proposed read, is being shaken by the neck by the lawyer bulldogs and newspaiHr terriers, with a vigor that threatens dislocation. Never theless the indications are that the Penn sylvania has the council committee. The lcopIe of the town are undoubtedly the ether way, and the Baltimore and Reading people knew it and arc firing them up in first-class style. It is a rcdhet contest and very interesting te outsiders.

Dlnruaalng the Qnwtlen of Hunt Ceutlctn Are Kept in the nut and Went I'rUeiu of the Day Denouncing the Wholesale "Coddling" of the Criminal Clamp. Chnrlefl Duit'ey Warner in North American He- viuw. Our failure in the handling of criminals with reference le thelr reformation, and the proportionate soctirilyefsocletyatiil decrease or taxation, Is due largely le the fact tint we have considered the problem as physical, and net psychological. The oll'ert lias I wen w improve prisons nun tne physical condi tion and environment or prisoners. This or. fort luts been dl roc led by sonllmetit, rather than iqien principles of economy and a study of human nature It has been assumed that ircenvlcls were troaled with mero kindness, iithey wero ledged In prisons well warmed anil welt ventilated, light mid airy, In cells mero roomy and comfortable, If they had lieller feed and mero privileges (granted en geed deportment), they would be mero likely te reform and le lead honest lives after thelr discharge. Tills movement was dictated by philan threpic motives, and I am far from saying that it Is all wrong. Rut it lias net produced the results that were oxeclod ; and it seems te me that the revolt in the public mind against what Is called the " coddling " sys tem is justllled by facts and results. The modern tnodel prison is a costly and archi tecturally Imposing structure ; it is (safer te ledge in and rreer from xlers than most hotels ; its cons are wen warmed, lighted with gas, and comfortable; It has a liotter dietary than most or its Inmates are accus tomed te ; it lias balli-roeins, a library, often large and well selected ; an admirably arranged hospital ; a cheerful chapel, gar nished wltli Irewcecs and Improving texts j thore are Sunday services and Sunday schools; there is u chaplain who visits the prisoners te dlstribute iKteks ami tracts, and convcise, en religious topics; there are lec tures aim roaeingM ami occasional inusimi concerts by the best t-Ueut; sometimes holi days are given ; thore are extra dinners en Thanksgiving day, Christmas day, and the Fourth or July, when the delicacies of the season stlmulate the holiday and pitrietic sentiments ; and In most state prisons a iiiau may earn a eonslderaio abatement of ids son- umce ny geed nenavier. The sanitary condition or most of tliose model prisons Is geed ; they are very geed refuges In which te rocuierato the system Im paired ny excosses nnci crime, tiie uiscip uiscip Ilne Is excellent. It Is, in fact, improved by the geed treatment and privileges granted. In some prisons this is carried te a period Ien that Is boasted of, and that wins the admira tion of visitors; the prisoners move like a machine, they nover speak, they nover leek up. This appears te lx admirable. In seme prisons, nowevor, mere are relaxations irem the sovere rules. If the men dlne at a com mon mess, tliey are ermltted te talk whlle at table ; the privilege being withdrawn if they abuse Hand bocemo noisy and quarrol quarrel quarrol semn. The uniform closo-crep of the hair is net alwaysiuslsted en, and the Ixjttcr prisons am discarding the striped and metley prison dress, as lending simply te degrade the moil and serving no geed purpose whatover. I'UKrnilKNC'llH IN I'ltlSO.NH. There is no doubt that the convicts like the new prison lictter than the old. They have their preferences in them, as old people have in hotels. Seme prisons have n but ropuUtlen with the criminal fraternity, and I fancy tliey rather shun the whites where these exist I remember reading seme time age, a newwpaiMir communication from nu old convict, a man who had experience In many prisons in different parts et the Union who compared the diet in each, and sKkef very feelingly and bitterly of that in ene et them (at Wuathorslleld, Conn.,) for its lack of variety. He wrote wltli a natural indigna tion, and I have no doubt had the sympathy efa geed many philanthropists and sontl sentl sontl luentillsts. And It did seem nu outrage (from ene point or view or the management of prisons) that he should net have green corn twlce a week in the season, and fresh tomatoes, which are given in a prison he named. A professional criminal, whose sole occupation is crime, lias a right te do de maud et modern civilization that it should keen ikice with Itself in the matter of nrivuis. and provide him agreeable quarters during the periods et ids temporary seclusion lrem general society. Ner is the question of economy wholly overlooked. Many or our prisons pay their way ; that is, the prisoners earn enough at hard labor (which Is no hard er as te hours or amount than frce lulier), under the contract or ether system, te iy the running expenses of the establishment allowing nothing for ititerest en the cost, or for repairs and Improvements. Tills Is reas reas roas onablo. The criminal lias already cost the state enough ; he ought te support himself wldle in confinement The tax-iuiycrs cer tainly have a right te demand this; and un der this sort et prison system that we are new considering, the ilrst requisite should tie that it be self-supporting. The reform in prison construction and manauement was very much needed, and I am net anxious new te express an opinion whether or net It luts geno tee far. Until must be noted that along with this movement has grown up a sickly seutlmcutdity about criminals which lias geno altogether tee far, and which, under the gulse of "humanity " and philanthropy, confounds all moral dis tinctions. The mawkish sympathy of geed and soft-headod women with the most do de graded and persisteut criminals or the male sex Is ene et the signs of an unhealthy pub lic sontlment A HOir-rospecting murderer is obliged te write upon his cards "no flowers." I think it will net be denied that our civilization, which has considerably raised the avorage of human life, tends te roster and Increase the numlier of weaklings, incompetents and criminally Inclined. Un systematic charity increases imqierUm, and unphilosephical lonlency towards the crimi nal class increases that class. It seems te me that we have cither geno tee far, or we have net geno far enough. If our treatment or the incompetent and vicious is te keep pace with our goneral civilization, we must resort te mero radical incisures. The plan or systematized charity, which cul tivates indopendeuco instead or doiiendenco, and the increased attention given te the very young children who by their situation and inhoritance are criminally inclined, are steps in the right direction. Probably it will be mero anil mere ovident that it is the best economy for the state te spend money liber ally en theso who are liable te beceme do de do pendonts and criminals. If the sttte wero te show as much energy in tills direction as it does in police supervision and the capture and conviction of criminals, it is certain that a marked improvement would be lelt in no ne no ciety within a generation. Rut we are new considering the treatment of criminals, audi can best Illustrate what I wish te bring into relief by an oxample. TWO TYl'KS VOMI'Altnn. My preposition is, that there is very llttle difference botweon our worst state prisons and our best in the ollect produced upon con victs as te reformation or ;it reduction of the criminal class. The stite prison at Woth Weth Woth ersfleld, Conn., is ene el the old type. It is an old and ram-sitackle establishment, patched up from tlme te tlme, and altogether a gloomy and depressing place. It is, how hew how ovor, well managed ; it is mwle te pay about its running oxpensos; and many of the modern alleviations or prison life are applied thore a library, occasional ontertalnmonts. a diminution of tlme or sonUmce for geed conduct, and se en, whatever such a place is capable of in the way of comfort consistent with the system. Rut the inmates are the most idlsceurclnir feature of the exhibition. They are in appearance depressed, degraded, heavy It.t of convicts. The two prisons might eluinge inmates, and no visitor would knew the difference. Yeu might oxpecl just as llttle reformation in ene as in the ether. We are net considering new any question of sentiment or humanity ; and the conclusion was forced upon me that, se far as the real Interests or soclety are concernod, nothing is gained by converting prisons into comlertiblo hotels.

Slnce we have abolished punishments, and are net ready le take any radical steps Ter reformation, It would Ik better te make prison life se hard that detention would be n punishment In Itself. The men should earn thelr living at hard labor, and be made te feel the weight of thelr transgressions. If professional and conllrmed criminals, men who declare by undorireluc second conviction for it loleny that tliey have made preying upon society their business, who liolengod. hi short, te it prelty woll-deflod criminal class, cannot be removed altogether from troubling this world, tliey oughtte lie locked tip permanently and made te cam thelr liv ing. They are of no sort et use in the world, and are an expense and a danger te society. Tne rose-water treatment nas no cueci en this class, as a rule. Holidays, occasional ilne dinners, concerts, lectures, flowers we are going ridiculously Tar in this direction, uuless Ave add a radical something le this sort of treatment that will touch the life of the man, and tend le :hange his nature and Inclination.
