A NEW USE 703 CBIUItfAXS.
Even vermin have their uses, say the
pessimists. It is a cheering theory, anil
one which we should rejoice to see de
monstrated, especially with reference to
those vermin ot society, the criminal
classes.
Thus far they certainly Lave been
the reverse of useful. Not only have
thpy been a serious detriment always, to
national prosperity through their depre
dations upon life and property and pub
lic peace, but also by their vicious ex
ample, and, more effectually still, by the
transmission of their vicious traits to af
ter generations.
Our present mode of dealing with
them labors under the double disadvan
tage of being very inefficient and very
costly. Every year sees the machinery
of justice become more magnificent and
burdensome, yet it none the loss fails
either to cure or to materially lessen
the evil. Indeed the law has often
more terrors for the good citizen than
for the bad: he has a large bill of costs
to pay any rate; whereas the rascal who
plunders him has everything to win
and very little to lose. If he escapes,
which is most likely, he gets the booty;
if caught, he simply loses for the mo
ment what is no use to any one hi
liberty
It is not time for the well disposed,
the innocent, and the law-abiding to
turn the tables and recoupe themselves,
if possible; for their numerous losses?
The ways in which this can be done aro
as numerous and varied as the varieties
of criminal constitution and character.
Just now the authorities of Massa
chusetts are puzzled to decide what to
do with the muidcrous Pomeroy boy.
Hang him! said the court: and the
multitude re-ehoes the cry. That is an
easy way to get rid of htm; but will it
pay? What good will it do to kill him?
His death will not atone for the damage
he has done, nor will it deter another of
like mental and moral perversity from
the commission of similar crimes. Then
wny tnrow away an tne possibillliles ot
use and instruction which his peculiar
character affords:
In a case of this sort, vindictiveness
is folly. The boy is what be is through
conditions of heredity and culture
which ought tobe investigated. He re
presents a stage of human development
or atavism which ought to be under
stood. What was the antecedent stage,
and what will the next one be? His
character is likely to change with in
creasing years; what is the direction of
that change? Education and moral train
ing are supposed to have a determining
influence upon character; what can they
do tor hiui? The boy is a very bundle
ot scientific problems; Why not keep
him for investigation? For the solution
of many of the problems of culture and
civilization, he is worth a dozen ordin
ary children. He ought not to be
thrown away. Make it impossiblo for
mm ever to transmit bis vicious nature
to a future generation, then inv stiate
liim, and all others like him, for the
good of the race.
Apply the same principle in a differ
ent way to a very different character,
say the once famous, now infamous, Col
onel Valentine Baker, late of the Brit
ish Army; a man of years and hi;;b
standing, wnose irrepr sioie impulses
led him to make criminal assault upon
an unprotected fellow traveler. He has
lost his place in the army and in sooiety;
he h . been fined and nominally im
prisoned; but his impulses temaiu unal
tered, and his example punishment
and all seems to provoke others to
similar deeds rather than ( deter them;
for his unus I offense has been since
repeated by several. And when he re
turns to the world, his term of idle im
prisonment ended, he will be simply
what be was at first, lacking the re
straining influence of his rank and pos
sibilities of usefulness.
This may be justice, but it is not good
policy. What was needed in his case
wr chiefly the extirpation of the cause
of his uncontrollable p"sioo whioh
any surgeon could have done in a few
minutes to destroy the only element
of danger id his character.
In a rude state ot society, the useful
ness of a publio offender is necessarily
measured by his power to do rude work,
in the quarry, the mine, or the like'
We have arrived at a stage when a por
tion of our supcrabundanco of such
characters can easily be put to more
profitable uses; though we should by no
means personally object to tne employ
meat of the more able-bodied criminals
in that way, especially in the coal mines.
Instead of manufacturing for such need
ful service a degraded and largely cum
inal class a process which any one can
see in operation by visiting a coal
cracker among the Pennsylvanian moun.
tains, where swarms of ill bred children
spend their days at hard labor under
tbe most debasing influences it would
be infinitely better to have the work
done by ready made criminals, drafted
from the country at large. It would be
a saving ot virtue, and possibly in the
cost of coals. But there are still better
uses to which the majority of criminals
can be put.
Among the most important problems
of civilization are tlose relating to
health aod disease. Of very few hu
man maladies can it be said that we
know their causes, their natural history",
their enects npon tbe physical and men
tal organism, or a satisfactory mode of
treating them. Aa little do we know
how to prevent or avoid them. Yetot
what vital importance is such knowl
edge to the well being of society!
The limitod positive knowledge whioh
Scienco has acquired of the ills which
flesh is heir to bas been gained rough
observation complicated by a thousand
unknown conditions, through experi
ments upon unoflending animals, and
by dissection of dead. During .the
middle ages, the last mentioned source
of knowledge was barred. Every scho
lar knows what sudden and immense ad
vances men made in anatomy and phy
siology, and in the healing arts which
rest on them, when students began to
draw their knowledge ot man's physioal
frame directly from human subieots,
and not indirectly and inoorreotly from
the study of animals. A similar ad
vance might bb expected in preventive
and curative medicine could the action
of disease be directly studied in human
subjects over which the observer should
hae absolute control.
Our suggestion would therefore be
that such a portion of the criminals
convicted from dy to day, as might be
found available, should be turnod over
to boards ot surgeons aod physicians,
duly appointed, under whom they
might be used lor the investigation of
sanitary problems, for tbe good of
humanity.
lor example, men convicted of capi
tal crimes, instead of being uselessly
hanged, might be employed in the study
of diseases usually fatal, or of other
diseases whose effects in their various
stages would need to be studied an -
tomically Especially atrocious mur
derers might be reserved for cases in
volving vivisection. Criminals of lower
ades could beut'li.ed in the study of
diiei'ses of minor severity, according to
their physical adaption and the nature
of their crime. Having their subjee
under absolute con rol from the incep
tion of a disease to its terminioation,
the investigator could nut lail in time
to arrive at certain knowledge both as
to its prevention and mitigation, if not
its cure. Medicine is full of problems
whose solution might be greatly has
tened by such means.
1 he same may be said of other de-
parteraents of social scienee. How far,
for example, is tho criminal diathesis
curable, and under what conditions?
What is the comparative influence of
the different sorts of mental and moral
training? How can the taint of heredi
tary crime be averted? How are the
various grades of criminality affected
by surgical operations, especially those
calculated to make the perpetuation of
hereditary crime impossible: And how
far may the subjects of such treatment
be safely allowed at Urge?
But the field of investigation is limit
less. The possible advantages of its sys
tematic prosecution are correspondingly
great. The right of society to defend
itaplf egninel its internal ennmiea, oven
to the taking of life, is unquestioned.
To attempt it by means of puuishment
Las proved unavailing and cosily. It is
lime that a different plan be tried. Sup
pose we sink the idea of retribution if
need be, or reformation also and seek
to make all human vermin first harmless
then useful, either by their productive
labor or by their subjective contribu
tions to human knowledge for the pro
tection of health and the saving of life.
As for its deterrent effect, such a
passionless, unvindictive, business-like
treatment of all violaters of the common
weal certainly could not be less efficient
than the jumble of uncertainty, ven
geance, softness, retribution, sentimen
tality, and uselcssness, which constitutes
our present judicial and correctional
systems. We are disposed to, think
that the possibility of being made a sub
ject for tho study of small pox, cholera,
typhoid lever, or even a bout at measles
or the mumps, would restrain a pick
pocket or a burglar quite as efficiently
r ' toe chance ot a tew weeks on the Is
land, or a few months at Sing Sing. At
least the knowledge gained by means of
him and others like him would go far to
recompense society for all it might suf
fer from his depredations.

The difficulty in the way of increas
ing greenback circulation by an act of
Congress, is that the Supreme Court of
the United States would declare such
an act nuconstitutional. Tbe law author
izing tbe greenbacks now in existence
was only saved under the war power con
struction. An extract from a speech of
Senator Sherman on this point is per
tinent
Tbe first difficulty to be encountered is
that the issue of tbe greenbacks in excess
of four hundred millions would be a plain
ana paipaDie violation or tne publio faith.
In 1804 the United States loletnnely en
gaged that tbe volume of legal lender notes
should never exceed the sum of four hund
red millions, and this pledge has been sev
eral nines repeated, ana is tbe sacred bar.
rier which alone has maintained the pur
chasing power of the greenbacks at the
present rate.
Again, the validity of the Legal Tender
Act was ustained by the Supreme Court on
the ground that it was the exereise of the
war making powers of Congress, held to be
essential to (he national existence: and vet
on this (round it was sustained but by a
bate majority of that Court. Who believes
for a moment (hat the validity of legal ten
der notes woald be sustained by that Court
when issued in a time of profound peace in
violation of the publio faith, and as a part
of a publie policy to maintain in perpetuity

Dr. Barrett, of Middletown, Ct., thinks
he has discovered the cause of hay fever in
the pollen of tbe ambrosia plant, which
matures about August, and, carried about

ita disease is to go to some town where
this plant is not found.

The Dew card has a finer surface tbau

old card, but is calendered so thoroughly
that it is somewhat thinner.
A new industry will probably be

the latter are applied, while they are far
better than the ordinary cut Dails for
other purposes.
