Doubt haa been expreseed, And Justly, to whether the change In the low which makes the possession of a concealed weapon a felony instead of a misdemeanor will tend to lessen the prevalence of this dangerous habit. A prisoner could bo summarily convicted of a misdemeanor by tha trial Judges, but person accuaed of a felony must be placed on trial before a Jury, and, except In (he caao of a friendless Italian or Chinaman, II may not bo an easy mutter to secure an agreement of twelve Jurymen for such an offense. The Intent of tho new law Is laudable in the highest drgree It remains to be yeen whether It will work out satisfactorily In practise. THE TIME MALL, rOSTlfAJD. Ob 10.

Tha high cot of living nd not th coat of high living" alone Is Averywhere throughout tlie country recognized a one of the grievance of our time. The rattiest explanation ia to ascribe It to the tariff, and this Is generally done Knock down the tariff barriers, say the audents of political economy, and prices will speedily find their natural level, which is true if the authors of the college text-books, who have for generations taught the gospel of unrestricted competition, know anything about the matter. But It Is sad to realize that It Is not our tariff-ridden country alone that is sending up this complulnt.

Patient, frugal Prance, which, outside of Paris and a few of the leading cities, knows nothing about high living, lias Of late been wrecking provision stoics And raising promiscuous Ned because it costs so much more to obtain the barest necessaries of existence than it used to do But as Prance is now a highly protected country, it mav lie possible to blame the tariff also for this condition Before, towever, we assume that the tariff, which, according to the English economists, Is the root of all evil, being Itself only evil and that continually, we must confront the startling fact that the same complaint of the high cost of very plain living comes to us from Great Britain II-aelf, the citadel and high temple of the free-trade evangel From the centre of Its energies, from the ancient and overgrown city of Lud itself, comes the complaint that the coming winter is to be one exceptional rigor; that the prices of the staples of life, such as bread, beef, bacon, milk, butter, cheese, eggs, potatoes and sugar are steadily on the ascending tcale, and threaten to be almost pro-hlbltative before the season is over And poor Britain, having no customs duties to suspend, has no bribe in the shape of a reclproeltv agreement to Offer for the relief of Its citizens It seems to be Just possible, in view of the British situation, that there may be some other contributing cause besides the tariff to account for the rise of prices And it Is just possible that we may find one of these in the general abandonment of the country for the cltv. of agricultural for mechanical and commercial pursuits Such a transfer does not diminish the number of mouths to be fed: It simply diminishes the supply of feeding material. For It is as true to-day as It has been from the beginning that all physical nutriment comes from the soil. It is true, whether Frederick the Great or Napoleon said It first, that "an army travels on Its hellv;" that a wholesome and abundant commissariat is the, first essential to success In the field Nations travel In tho march of Industrial progress in the same manner, nor has science yet discovered any equivalent, any fitting substitute fOr the products of the farm or 'the pasture The nation that sends Us farms to the scrap-heap and concentrates its toll in the factory, the mill and the counting house compels Itself to depend for its food upon other nations. That Is the predicament of Great Britain to-day; thank heaven it is not yet the predicament of the United States, although we are getting there as fast as we can.

But besides the tariff and the comparative decline of agriculture, there may be other causes that, each in its small way, may contribute towards raising the cost of living Let nobody be shocked if one should mention among these the pure food campaign which 'is one of the most creditable features of modern governmental activities. If you figure the thing out the primal motive in food adulteration is to cheapen the product and enable the adulterator to undersell his mote honest competitor. The first result, therefore, is lower prices, al though that rtsult may disappear when adulteration becomes general or universal. But one inevitable result of a crusade Against adulteration, ex pecially if tho practise has become general, is to Increase the price of the unadulterated product When Tennyson, away back in the early fifties, complained that to of In of on sin all that the Ballade of Home Coming "Well, we are off at last; Home at half past three They say this train is fast; Can't go too fast for ME If you gave me the country free, I'd weary of sheep and cow, The barn, the chickens, the What is the matter now? forms of the two unfortunates.

THE GLOOM OF THE GODS. As we passed through the home of the Gods tn a "Seeing Olympus" airship. the announcer flippantly pointed out to us the various persons of note. "Those two gentlemen coming down the street, he cried, through his megaphone, "are Hercules and Apollo. i Instantly there was a great craning1 of necks.

"But why are they so sad and down-i cast' asked a curious sightseer, for Indeed the depression of the two immortals was marked in the extreme. UNDER THE NEXT REVOLVER LAW. The footpad stole silently toward his victim. It was a dark night and late, and sheltered by the trees that lined the deserted thoroughfare It was a simple matter for him to approach undetected, even unsuspected. From long practise, he was able to accomplish the preliminaries without wasted effort.

The citizen, taken completely by surprise, offered no noticeable resistance when a blackjack laid him low, and now that the footpad was seated on his chest, and the footpad's revolver was looking him squarely In the eyes, discretion on the citizens part seemed decidedly the better part of valor. The footpad, however, was a courteous chap, and after appropriating a watch, purse and atlckpin, he relieved his victim's mind. "Lest you think there is anything (irregular about this proceeding, he Ah!" replied the announcer, pontely. still sitting on his vie- The Hospital Department. not THE PRICE OF VICE.

The experience of ages makes stronger the Scriptural admonition: "Be pure that your sin will find you out Pains and penalties ever are associated with immorality. The law of compensation always applies That "society condones certain offenses Is specious pleading of the worst sort They deceive themselves most who imagine that "some sins, though known, are Ignored He who breaks the moral code cannot escape the consequences. Sophistry may trv make more euphonious a "defiance conventionalities." but the offenders is not called less sharply to account Though tt hung by a hair, the sword of Damocles waa not more uncertainly suspended than Is the trouble that any moment may be precipitated on tha head of a violator of the moral law. Craftiness offers no adequate protection, neither will wealth nor social position procure immunity. Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." Wild oats symbolize more than folly and remorse; they represent worse things than time wasted and money thrown away.

the scream of agony, in the groan despair, in the beggars whine, in the drunkard's silly laughter, In the maniacs shriek, in the lament of She prisoner. In confessions of guilt made the gallows, in the death rattle heard in the suicide's throat, are uttered some of the warnings bidding men beware of having to harvest a sorry crop. Everywhere blasted reputations, ruined prospects, blighted hopes, dishonored graves attest the melancholy truth that "the wages of is death." The sensational Beattie case, with its hideous developments, shockingly illustrates Incidentals of loose living, A Virginia Jury a yet has not decided whether or not the young man committed the horrible' murder of which he 1 accused. But the searchlight of publicity, thrown on Beattie past life, reveal llttl except which Is repulsive and sickening.
