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.

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. TOLD TO SLUG WAGON DRIVER Chicago, Dec. 8.—In the Shea trial yesterday, William Kelly, a teamster, told of being sent by President Shea, In company with Jerry McCarthy,of the Truck Drivers’ Union, after a driver of a wagon which passed the head quarters of the strikers, with orders "slug” the driver.
