ENTIMENTALI7L VERSUS REVENGE IN PUNISHING CRIME
T HE ease of the Rawlins family,
of Which th«' pipers' have been'
so full for the past few ( days, af
ford* a good Instance, of how-much ed-
untlng Is needed not only, by the pub
lic mind, but even by those who assume
the position of leaders of 'thought In
their respective communities as editors
of newspapers. By "educating," Id this
connection Is meant, of course, not the
"three R's," or knowledge ■ of mathe
matics or the classics,, l)ut training In
some of the elementary principles of
sociology, especially criminal sociolo
gy. There Is a new science. In our day,
of penology, of dealing with crime nnd
criminals. Before speaking of wlint
that Is, In principle, let me call atten
tion to the confusion of thought on the
subject of punishing crime as Illus
trated In the discussions, public and
private, on the subject of the sons of
the old man, whose sentence has just
been commuted to life Imprisonment.

CAROLINA PORTLAND CEMENT CO.,
ATLANTA, GA.
A pathetic appeal haa been mode to
spare the lives of these young fellows,
based on the fact, In part, that the law
has been satisfied by the execution of
Rawlins, Sr., and the negro, Alf Moore.
It Is not tho appeal Itself, but the
ground of the appeal that 1 am here
concerned with, that the law haa been
satisfied. It Is not the Intention of this
brief paper to discuss the commutation,
but to point out that tty case has been
discussed largely on a false theory ot
punishment, via, that there la some
huge tyrant, called the Law, who must
be satisfied. Or, that the power to be
satisfied Is the dear people. The mass ■
ea having been satisfied by the execu
tion of the two most responsible char
acters, experience a revi’leion of feeling
and are willing, some of them, to have
the Rawlins boys sent to the peni
tentiary for Ufa, some to have them
pardoned altogether.
Now whatever may be the wisest way
to deal with any particular case. It Is
worth while to try to get a clear view
of the guiding principles.
There Is, It has been stated, a new
science of penology. The fundamental
difference, the line of cleavage between
the new and the old, In dealing with
crlino and criminal*, la that whereas
the old deslt with the crime as an ab
stract entity, nnd on the principle that
*o much crime of a certain character
called for so much punishment of n
certain character: the new deals pri
marily With the criminal himself, and
with the crime ax revealing the char
acter of the criminal. And In dealing
with the criminal the motive and
method are different. The aim Is not
punishment to satisfy an abstract law
of desert: the atm Is rather the re
demption. the reformation, the saving
of tho man, the criminal himself, from
hi* crime. If a tqpn has committed
, murder, the object of society In deal-
j Ing with the man should be, both the
protection of society from similar men
nnd also the training of such man into
a helper Instead of a murderer of his
fellows.
The question odght to be asked, In
regard. to tbe Rawlins boys, not wheth
er the law has been satisfied, nor
whether public sentiment has been ap
peased, *but wffiat In the best thing pos
sible, society being what It Is, for the
boys themselves? How may we deal
with them so ax to save them from
the malice and Jgnoranco that led to
4he commission ef so foul a deed?
Should they be hanged? Should they
be sent to the penitentiary for life?
One thing seems certain, and If It does
not solve of Itself the whole problem,
It Illuminates some aspects of it. nnd
It In simplicity Itself, so simple that It
hardly seems to have occurred to
many: If those boys ought to he par
doned. there lx one only justification
for such a course, viz., the conviction
arrived at by the vety beet expert
opinion procurable, that in freedom
they would beat develop the character
of good citizens, and not abuse their
liberty. It may be that n reasonable
conviction on tide point cannot be ar
rived at all at once. Very good, then,
we can wait until It can be arrived at.
In the meantime subjecting them to tha
best discipline our civilization afTords.
Ought those boys to be hanged? Is.
capita' punishment right and wise?
That must depend bn our civilization,
nnd Is not a question that can be
answered categorically. It may be that
some caaee are beyond the power of
human society. In Its present state, to
deal with In any more satisfactory way, |
just os n school may have to expel a
boy: but In both cases, the Ideal ought i
to be, to save both; to save the mur-1
derer from his malice and the boy from |
his disobedient Spirit,
Let R be noticed that this method.
the reformatory method, doesn t mean
sickly sentimentality In dealing with
criminals. The most relentless power
In this world Is love, properly under
stood. It alms at the highest good, not
the pleasure of Its object: and It does
not hesitate to use severe methods In
seeking that end. just as the Associat
ed Charities, through Its secretary, Mr.
Logan, refused to yield to the senti
mental method of dealing with the
blind beggar on the street, but aimed
at his reformation by means that did
not commend themselves either to the
blind man himself, or other sentiment
alists. Love might (I say might) have
to executt a man; It certainly would
not hesitate to hold him in prison; It
certainly would not give hltn knowingly
a liberty he wu certain to abuse.
'Nor Is there any conflict, os Is com
monly supposed, between the two points
of view, the good of society (by the
prevention of crime) and the good of
the criminal. To suppose that there Is,
takes for granted an Irreconcilability
between the corporate and the Individ
ual welfare that in fallacious.
If society were to become so sat
urated with the redeeming principle
of love that Its whole penology ex
pressed the spirit of relentless seek
ing the good of the criminal, much of
the rebellious spirit that now animates
the criminal classes (the “enemies of
society"), would gradually disappear
Defiance would more and more yield to
the working of the law of overcoming
evil \vlth good.

Washington, Dec. t.—Because the

Richmond this afternoon.
The examination of the now wit
nesses will occupy a day or two, and
the railroad officials will not have their
report ready before Wednesday.
All the employees of the rokd, espe
cially those of the Danville division, are
eager to have the fullest Investigation,
and want the blame for the wreck
fixed on the right jierson or |>ersons.
Mattox and W. It. Glimmer, tho two
operators at Rangoon, who were in the
signal tower at the time of the wreck,

decline to do so until the report of the
Investigation has been made public.
