CoMWT-eoRY education works well
w liea it caw be enforced. In a Mis
souri court some time ago an illiter
ate prisoner was sentenced to jail
until he would learn to write; anoth
cr wb sentenced until lie would teach
the former the art. In less than a
mouth Ixith prisoners were dis
charged, the one who could not
write before being able to write a fair
hand.
Tint fam'int decision of the United
Siaios supreme court concerning
treasury notes has led to an interest
i v.? complication al Boston. The as
prs of that city have carried this
d'cision to its extreme, and assume
thai under it greenbacks are not "ob
ligations ot the United stales," but
..re actual money, and therefore are
t ivittoe. Tlie jvurls of that city will
1 i calle-.l upon to decide the question.
.Should iiie learned judges o the
io .len Athens lake the same view of
the matter as do the :irse.;'aor.s-, it will
logically follow that, as the green
backs are not "obligations' of the
government, the government can not
Ua made to pay them. We submit
the mailer to the greenback theorists
for solution.
Titb antiflk of train robbing wo nld
nuko interesting reading. Jf one
could keep a lecord of these adven
Inroutj burglars as they appear from
lime to time in the papers, a volume
might Ikj collected which would have
i more absorbing interest than any
dime novel. The latest instance,
where one man armed only with a
club, entered a bnggage-car occupied
by two men, ovorpoweied them, shot
them with their own weapons, robbed
the safe, and then slopped the train
and got off, seems one of the most
striking in Tuc whole business of
train robbiu? There is no instance
known where" train robbers did not
eucdnuler'a number vastly greater
than their own,"" and yet there is no
instance known where they met any
resistance. Thai is what makes train
robbing so i eraarkable. It seems to
rcveal-n -cut ions phaso of human na
ture which is woilhy of some scien
tific explanation. A burglar who
enters a private house runs a good
many chances of mooting a resistance
mj active and belligerent thai he is
not infrequently either killed, cap
tured, or put to flight, but the rob
ber who boards a train seoms toler
ably sure of finding victims par
alysed and helpless. What subtle
power has a railway train to take all
the fighting qualities out of travelers?
Tiiunn is a widespread belief, based
upon what conduct it is difficult to
suy, that in case of war between En
gland and Russia iho Paris treaty of
1S5G will be ignored, and privateering
will be given full swing once more.
Looking at the matter unselfishly,
such a contingency would be one to
be rogrotted, for it is a step back
ward. The privateer is at the best
but little more than a legalized pirate;
his inspiration is plunder: and the
United States has from the first set
its face against the practice. Just a
hundred years ago Benjamin Frank
lin, who was then negotiating a
treaty with ilnasiR. wrete: "The
United Stales of America, though
bettor Mtitaied than any European
nation io make profit by privateering,
are, so far as in them lies, endeavor
ing to abolish the practice by offering
m all their treaties with other pow
ers an article engaging solemnly that
in case of future war no privateer
shall be commissioned on cither side,
and that unarmed luercbant ships
on both rides shall pursue their voy
ages unmolested." We have held
consistently to this ever since, and
Tor a long lime Blood practically
alone; and though wo have not ac
cepted the provisions of the Paris
treaty, it is not only because that
agreemont was not earned far enough
and was not also made to abolish the
capture of merchantmen by public
armed vessels. That ts, this govern
ment couionds that as private prop
erty is not warred against upon the
land, it should not be upon the
ocean.
