Entered at the Freeland Poalofflce as Second Class Matter. FREELAND, NOVEMBER 20, 1891. THE Manufacturer HI its current number publishes the advertisements of three shoddy mills, which are located in Philadelphia. After a while the Manufacturer will learn, perhaps, that a great deal of shoddy is manufactured for clothing in this country. The next thing to learn would be that the Plague of Shoddy has been greatly aggravated by the duties on wool. Our American manu facturers do not use rags in making clothes from choice, but from neces sity. Free wool is the most pressing economical need of the day. A REPORT was published iu the city papers yesterday stating that three Russians arrived at New York and were detained at the Barge Office be cause of a violation of the contract labor law, as they had come here to work in the mines at Stockton, this county. The story has not been veri fied but it would not require much information to convince the public that it is true. The fact is well known that the majority of foreigners in this State at present were brought here by the coal corporations, but why they should import these three, when hundreds of men could be gotten throughout the region to fill any position that might be vacant about the mines, is something that cannot be very easily understood. THERE are two sides to the rain making stories sent out from Texas. George Edward Curtis, an assistant in the Smithsonian Institution, Wash ington, who was present at Dyren forth's Texas experiments, snys that only two one-liundredths inches of rain fell during three weeks of experi ment, and the explosions had nothing to do with the production of rain. There were showers all over Texas on the day the rain fell at the expeiiwent station. This is an almost complete contradiction of previous reports on the same experiments, and is of spe cial importance, because Congress will surely he asked to make a big appropriation to continue experiments in rain-making in spite of the small support Fueli experiments receive from meteorologists. AT the meeting of the Republican National Committee in Washington on Monday it was decided to hold the ! Presidential Convention on June 7, of' next year, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The selection of this place was made against large odds offered by various other cities in the Union, but it was done with the hope of pleasing the people of the West and capturing the vote of the Western States. One of the notable events of the meeting was the enthusiasm indulged in when Secretary Blaine's name was men tioned in connection with the Presi dency, and it was intimated that if the opinion of the convention should be the same as that of the committee the Plumed Knight would be nomi nated by acclamation. Senator Quay resigned from the chairmanship anil his place was taken by General Clark son. THE present outlook is that the third party movement will cut no figure iu the next campaign. The recent elections in the West have shown a great collapse in the Far mers' Alliance, and it nowhere assert ed itself potently, apart from the two great parties. Its vote in Kansas, which was supposed to ho its great stronghold, fell off tremendously this year, and, so far as heard from, it failed to carry a single county. The aggregation which styles itself the People's Party polled a ridiculously small number of votes where it had a ticket in the field at all, and showed no signs of vitality anywhere. The chances are, therefore, that the next great quadrennial election will witness a square contest between the two great parties, and nothing in the shape of a side show, with the possi ble exception of the cold water advo cates, who are likely to still cling to their forlorn hope. 1 HE Hazleton newspapers and many ! prominent citizens are making a de termined fight to carry out the wishes of the people of our neighboring town, which they emphasized at the last election, by declaring to have the borough governed under a city char ter. The measure was carried by a large majority, hut, notwithstanding this, it was declared invalid by a member of the Town Council. The opposition is based on a mere techni cality—because a notice of the elec tion was not published in all the town papers—and it is alleged that much inliueuce was brought to bear iu the matter by the saloon men of the town, who have steadily opposed the city charter act. However this may be the majority of the Council has avowed its purpose to have the charter issued r*id sent a committee to Harrisburg on Monday to further that end. They made a statement before the Kocreta -y of the Commonwealth, but as or'y their side of the matter was presented, a decision wis reserved vat' next week. Happy and content is a home with "The Ro chester; a lamp with the light of the morning. Catalogues, write Rochester Lamp Co., New York. Society and the Criminal. "Society and the Criminal" was the title of an address delivered last week by Hon. Richard Vaux, of Philadelphia. Sir. Vaux, like many others who Bpeak on this subject, is of the opinion that I the ruffled state of society is the cause of | most crimes, and believes that present j conditions should be moderated, but does not give any suggestions as to how this should be done. j He said: "Society is the habitat of crime. Naturally and necessarily so. Association tends to liberate the action I of those who intend to prey on the per sonal rights and property of individuals. Crime is an intention ehrystallized into fact. Motive, will and action are co incident. The motive being the primary agent it is important to ask the origin of its existence. The motive originates a deliberate purpose. It is the intention to violate law, so well considered as to define the consideration in the act, which is crime. Whence is it that the motive originates? The individual must of ne cessity he under some mental influence that tends to create the motive. This suggests the consideration of the crime cause. "How is the criminal to be punished unless it is to search hack to the motive, and apply a correction that shall be wise? The antecedents must be studied. It is more than likely that the facts at tending the commission of the act would be best understood from the antecedents of the criminal. Crimes of the passions, crimes ot education, crimes from inher ent causes and crimes from association need special and diverse treatment. This is the basis of philanthropic prison discipline. Incarceration is only the condition in which punishment can be administered. Incarceration per se is not punishment. The mental, physical and moral characteristics of the criminal must be investigated." Mr. Vaux told how crime had increas ed to startling proportions, and laid the responsibility at the door of society it self, because of the mawkish sentimen tality of the general public and the so called prison philanthropist. Continuing he said: "A report by the clerk of the Criminal Court, of Salem, Mass., stated that one person in every 722 was a crim inal and a prisoner. Criminals have in creased since 1888 more than 50-fold— from 850 criminals in that year to 44,908 in 1890. From the last official report it appears that out of 33,290 persons com mitted last year, 17,667 were known as recommitments; a total of 158 had been recommitted 50 times, and 397 persons more than 30 times. These are the re sults of an entire change of system, a system declared to he punitive and re formatory. In the wind of mere talk, in the whirlwind of vociferous, ignorant criticism, we must not look for the rem edy, hut in the still, small voice of intel ligent, thoroughly instructed, courageous conscience of society. A Tarin* Iteform Object. The discovery of a conspiracy by which the Anchor Pottery at Trenton, N. J., has during the past six years, been robbed of goods to the amount of SIOO,- 000, furnishes an object lesson in protec tion. Although the stealings have been going on for a long time, it is only re cently that any suspicion of crookedness was aroused. It is not claimed that the I discovery was due to any shrinkage in the profits, therefore it is but natural that, despite the extensive thefts, the firm has Bteadily been making money. The proprietor found out that some one was underselling him in Philadelphia with their own tine wares, and this is what led to the investigation which dis closed the conspiracy. The estimate of the theft is placed at from $75,000 to SIOO,OOO. Take it at the former figure and it represents a loss annually of over $12,000. This seems like a very large sum for the invoice clerk to get away with annually for over live years without the slightest suspicion being raised. But the proprietor was probably satisfied with his large profits, and the fact, that only when the thieves became extremely bold was any crooked ness suspected, goes to show how large the profits must be. When $12,000 per annum can be stolen from a large manu facturing establishment without it being missed it is safe to assume that the pot tery business is pretty profitable for an infant industry which MclCinley was so anxious to protect. The Tariff Killing Industries. One of the queer effects of the McKin ley tariff is that it will either "make" or break ' tiie industries of the country. It has made many manufacturing estab ments—made them rich and profitable at the expense of those who consume their wares—and has also broke a con siderable number owing to the excessive duties on the material which they manu factured into different commodities for an existence. The iron business, es-. pecially, lias suffered considerably on! account of the over-taxed raw material used in this line of industry, and, as a consequence, many firms have dropped from life. Failure after failure was re corded for several months after the McKinley law went into effect, and occa sionally we hear of some even in this late day of alleged protective prosperity. Bast week one of the largest iron manu facturing firms in New England collapsed because they could not buy their raw material as cheaply as foreign producers, and were, therefore, unable to compete with them in the market. But still, after all the repudiations the law has received in this way, its advocates claim that it builds up home industries and that it will eventually benefit the productive classes by insuring them large compen sation for their work. Won't some pro tection organ tell the public just how long they are to wait for this era of pros perity promised them by tariff legisla tors? 300 ) rolls of wall paper from G cents a double roll upwards at Bacbman's, Cen tre Street, Freelnnd.
