The trouble with som peiop is that they thought they eon use Kllerbe; and finding tli they could cannot, they ahu him. * * * Timid people complain th the Dispensary law has been e forced too harshly. There may 1 a few instances where this has hot the case, but as a g^'x-ral thii the only tiling wrong about tl "harshness" wo have heretofoi had is that ?*o haven't hud i?nouj ? of it. Violators of the Dispens y rv law deserve no mercy. The ! should 1>, tint down with an ire hand. That they are not so pi down shows a lamentable lack courage on the part of the peop ?and the peoples' ollicers. * * There may ho some excuse f< a hungry man's putting his bar in his neighbor's pocket; bi there is no oxcuso for a man nil ning a blind tiger.

(orcrin and luilesl development in ! Massachusetts. This system proin i cee-is upon the assumption that |,t. i many persons who are arrested lor st, j such offences may he saved fiom: iijja lilV'of crime if sentence is --us ' j ponded and the convicted person V(k 1 has an ojiportunity to hecomo a or' law-ahi'ding citizen before the'I ori stigma and contagion of a prison ' life is imposed upon him. ' "Another plan for decreasing t 1,1 the number ot persons in prison >v :l) is the parole system, which is in t >0 force in all reformatories and in a t number of penitentiaries. I'nder 1 this system prisoners are divided s j into three or four classes, and a a prisonor, by good conduct, can v ^ work his way from the lowest to t ' the highest, and then, if he gives d sat isf.'ictorv oviMpncft fhof no,, ^ 1)0 trusted outsido, he may ho t ro paroled and tested and finally re v rjt leased." < *? *> a * r jy Now that Congress is in session n )n may bo the Republicans will bring i ,t on that prosperity they have been t 0f telling us so much about.

Old-fashioned people imagine 0 that Congress is composed of the p. Senate and House of Ilopresentatives; they don't know that it is composed of tho Senate and n Tom Reed.
