The Treatment of Criminals.
ErFftnc flip. Fnn.iiil rip.nfr n;
.- .1 - , i
sooiation recently m session at
Saratoga, Mr. Hamilton A. Hill, of j
Boston" read a carcfullv-prcpared I
paper on "penalties ior crimes
iinuTist TmnPrtr Mr. pmi nm,-;
o i i J' --.... w.. ,
XIUCS.U13 UlbUUbbJUU mUlIHV IULI1UI
treatmpnt of prisoners after convic
tion, holding that, when under
punishment for a first offense, the
forger, defaulter and embezzler
should be treated more tenderly
than such vulgar criminals as bur
glars and road-agents.
If we. have been able to absorb
Mr. Hill's central idea, his theory
is that.a gentleman's feelings, be
ing much more acute than those of
a low fellow, a given penalty or a
specific amount of punishment,
goes a great deal farther with the
former than with the latter. In
falling from the normal state into
the criminals' dock, the man of
high position and elegant sur
roundings, who has been always in
contact with the best influences of
home, of church, of society, must
have fallen "farther and been worse
hurt than the- man who was boin
to poverty and whose surround
ings have been such as naturally
incline one to a vicious life; such is
the aiotion on which this reformer's
essay is based.
And because the curled oarlimr
has been so terribly bruised by his
fall, -while the coarse fellow has
suffered but a slight jar, the form
er must be classed with a higher
grade of criminals than the latter;
must not be subjected to such per
sonal indignities as hair-cropping,
variegated garments and the
brusque manners of ordinary peni
tentiary usage. Mr. Hill does not
say all this, but such is the inevit
able inference from what he does
say.
Very few great criminals or
very few compared with the whole
number are ever brought to the
door of a penitentiary. "Wealth,
social influence, political influence
and other potential forces, are
generally employed to shield "re
spectable" criminals from the. pen
alties prescribed for their acts;
and, in most cases, the object of
their employment is accom
plished. The man who robs a thousand
orphans of their only provision
against want, who makes false en
tries in his books every day for ten
or twenty years in order to cover
his tracks while ho goes on with
his sj'slematic robbery of those
whose fortunes are entrusted to his
honor; who breaks hundreds of
families down from ease and com
fort to penury and destitution,
turning gray-haired women and
helpless girls out into the streets
or the asylum; such a man, ac
cording to the Hill theory, should
not be compelled to associate witli
the common felon who stole a
sack of flour or a ham".
Well, it is seldom that such
gentlemen are obliged to consort
with the vulgar held in any prison,
for the chances are ten to om- that
they will never be convicted; and
if convicted they are generally put
on some genteel detached duty
and treated as pets by the prison
officials for a short time, when a
prison pardon opens the door and
lets them out. There is no place
this .side of the grave where money
cannot purchase privileges and
immunities. The-' felon' "whose
friends aredispbsed to be liberal
towards the officials of a peniten
tiary has little cause to fear that
ho will be forced to mingle with
felons who have neither money
nor friends.
If punishment for crimes were
graded according to actual guilt,
winch is not possible, the man, who,
despite wholesome surroundings
and pure influences from birth to
manhood, deliberately chooses a
criminal course, deliberately plans
and executes a defalcation or em
bezzlement ofjunds placetl-in his
charge, is deserving of .farmore
severe treatment than one who was
Lome and reared on a social plane .
j but little above the criminal level.
"We cannot, however, go into nice .
discriminations in these matters.
"We cannot, grade punishment in ,
; proportion to the light sinned
i against. But. when a ffrcat robber, !
who has sown misery broadcast!

sentimentality as Mr. Hill preach-
And we should be able, with
out vindictiveness, but with an
eye to -fairness, to see that this
malefactor is not so treated as to
give other felons reason to hate
the law and its administration for
perpetrating a w retched travesty
on justice.
A Sensible Opinion.
In discussing the question of
normal schools now being agitated I
in this state the Polk CVtniyi
Itemir.er very sensibly av-:
"Some of the teachers omp!oi-dj
in the country schools are sadly I
inefllciesit. But this does not
come about for lack of a iicrmal
school. Any number of nfrml
schools will not remedy the ei-.!
The cau?e of the evil lie siu.j'Iht '
way. The wagrs of !;u hnrs j
command onlv iuffiieienov. " I en
our normal school has i rndtiai od j
a class of educated Icar-hor?. j
think you they will 3e found in j
the country schools t earning :or
forty dollars per moutlf? Cloud
teachers will not be wanting
when good wages shall be p:iid.
We believe that any expenditure
by the state to educate teachers Ui
educate her children would be an
extravagance and a waste. It is
cheaper to buy teachers already
educated.
There is not much demand fr
educated teachers outside of the
towns. "When there shall be, no
fear but that the supply will be
forthcoming without the aid of the
state. We must be permitted to
reiterate our first statement that
the state of Oregon, for some years
to come, will be doing eminently
well if she supports her common
schools. A normal school, in ihe
present situation, would be abnor
mal." Seckktaky Folger has given di
rections in relation to the appoint
ment of keepers of life-saving Ma
tior.s under the recent Act of Con
gress to promote the efficiency of
thi life-saving service, and the ap
pointments are being made out
and forwarded. The rale of com
pensation is fixed at 700 per an
num for all life saving stations on
the Atlantic coast. The same
same course will probably be pur
sued on this coast as formerly, no
effort havii'g been made to in
crease the efficiency of the .service.
