We must eat at certain intervals or die none are exempt by a drunken mob and it is said that a relative of Gov. Larrabee furnished the whiskey. We, with many others, worked hard for his release. The Iowa Tribune ned his oause and that infamous Gov. Larrabee was flooded with petitions and letters from people all over the land all to no purpose, until Boies was elected and promised to give the case "a speedy, full and fair investigation," but the wicked Larrabee could not stand the light of an investigation and consequently released him; though not till almost the last hour of his term.

Mrs, Turney greatest desire is, and has ever been to have opportunity to present the facts of her son's imprisonment by giving lectures and publishing a book. She is intelligent and thoroughly capable of doing both. But Poverty, that dread her. Would that we were able to give her the need' ed help. Nothing but facts are needed to render the story of Chester and his mother as pathetic as that of Jean Yal Jean the "Galley Slave." The causes of imprisonment were similar.

I presume tbee remembers that Mrs. Turney had the Millionaire Gov. indicted and tried for slander, but as is always the case, the "Law" protects the strong against the weak. No crime so great as the "Crime-of Law." Indeed, cannot the cause of the worst (if not all) that is called crime be attributed to the "Crime of Law?" How utterly inconsistent to fix up laws contrary to Natural Law to make criminals, then punish the criminals their own creation. Charles Dickens generally has his characters do the talking, but he speaks a great truth in "Bleak House" when he says, "The Law is made to make business for itself." August Spies said in his great speech before the "Court" that condemned him and his comrades to be murdered by Law, "I perceive that these legal gentleman are not well versed in History." Ah no!

We were never really hard up as we have been this fall, but there is no business being done and no one seems to have money to pay for what has been done in the past. or evil, and even more so, for evolution is cumulative. Our characters are plants growing in a social soil, and if they are gardened by purity, and receive a just proportion of sunshine and care their fruition is a joy forever. How often do we hear men say, when speaking of a well rounded character, "but there was a mother, a father, the like before him, and look at the opportunities of his surroundings and education; see how he was moulded by ennobling association, and by at least a degree of prosperity." And we have even read a book about the influence of noble women upon the characters of great men.

A.11 this is forgotten of the "crank;" he is the master piece of his own misdoings. Tee gutter thieves, rags, and social degradation did nothing for him. It is his own fault, though "born in a garret, in a Kitchen bred" circumstances beyond his control that he has not risen superior to squalor, a degraded birth, and social ostracism It is nothing that he was prematurely forced into the mob of starvelings that jostle eaoh other eo fiercely in the struggle for bread. It is nothing if from childhood his mind was used to vice and that he was the familiar of crime! Nothing that he was conceived in lust and bom to poverty; nothing that he is the accident of a contact that was loathed; nothing that he sprung from the vilest sexuai degradation the unhappy conjunction of depraved manhood and degraded womanhood, known as modern marriage. These things hard naught to do with the formation and development of the Crank! He should be a man for all that! Of course there are some who seem to fall beyond the pale of such defense.

High life has its Borgias and Ezzelins. But then it seems that one who will not admit the principle of transmitted character, and yet holds to "total depravity," should rather look upon the "crank" as an impromptu case of atavism, and abuse him less, not knowing when he himself may be similarly afflicted. The worthy of our study. "The proper study of mankind is man," and he is one ef us. In a broad and philosophic way we should stduy the anatomy of character.

The vicious can only be removed with the causes of vice. Bringing to the task a sense of duty, and the spirit of humanity let us analyze the criminal as a social product, and perhaps after all we may trace unfavorable conditions to the development of intelligence and virtue in a deranged social structure. Let us be kind and human, and taking the vicious by the hand visit their haunts and habitations. Vice has its cause, atd if to encompass the destruction of vice we must attack those sacred institutions of Law and Order the night-mare of the world let us be brave enough to do it. Cause and effect are an endless chain.
