PRISON ASSOCIATION REPORT.

MORE MERCIFUL TREATMENT OF CRIMINALS
Observation-Disclosures OF INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOLS.
The thirty-tourth annual report of the Executive
Committee OF the Prison Association of New York
has just been published. On the third page refer
ence is made to the practice of large numbers of
persons hold for trial in the courts OF in this
city who plead guilty and thus undergo trial.
The report considers that this practice fostered
by venal counseliors who take the prisoners money
and neglect their defence OF late years. since the
tenure Of judgeships has been extended. judges in
criminal courts have interrogated prisoners and
finding that they did not know the meaning Of plead
ing guilty have instructed their counsel to with
draw the plea and substitute one OF not guilty.
1t is suggested that for every city where there is
mail delivery by carriers the authorities should pro-
vide letter box accessible to the posman in every
place OF detention where persons awaiting trial are
confined and that they be furnished with stationery
under regulations approved by the District
The present system OF county prisons is condemned
perncious and it is thought it should be super
seeded by some rational method of separating tho
convicted from the unconvicted prisoner The en-
tire separation of children from all ether inmates Of
the jail and the proper separation or the sexes ana
the different classes OF women should be made oblig
atory on the officers of the prison. These things
is asserted. wholly neglected.
Q CORRECTION AND REFORM.
Referring to reforms in the judicial and correc-
tional treatment OF children statement in the
port say that the State has lost the pres
the care and management OF Juvenile offenders.
Familiarity with cell life often wrecks the childs
character and particular were the originators OF
the English movement for the treatment Of Juvenile
offenders that they established retornatories sub
stitutes for imprisonment. and embodied in the In
dustrial School act provisions that for any punish
able offence children under twelve should be sent to
an industrial school, The should be raised. and
children Of fourteen should be saved from i'm
prisonment SO that the fear OF it may survive
deterrinR agency. The cost of this change is
trihing. in comparison to the public gain in re-
duclng the number of habitual criminals.
that every community in the State should at
once make the necessary provisions. These
schools should admit day scholars 80 that the
ties of knship may be maintained in all possible
cases. and private enterprise should be encouraged
to establish such schools in neighborhoods where
child neglect and truancy most common. Since
the general Introduction Of industrial schools in
England the statistics of crime ranking the degree of
felony show reduction Of thirty per cent and this
in face OF the fact that to the penal
est reduction Is found where the industrial schools
are most numerous and longest established.

DR.. HAMLIN:-When met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf-
fering severely with Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at a time to my bed. The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. I used medicines without number,
including a large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. As to what
| suffered, the English language cannot tell
it TO any one who has not tried its realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief IN fifteen minutes, and dispelled nv
doubts in twenty-four hours. I used bottle
a dey for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time i'm two years.

such sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
a change, though it should be death.
That all who read this may know how

using Wizard Oil, could reach around nay
leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to a mere skele-

when I moved upon
crutches, or tried to stand
without them, Il could not raise
either foot from the floor.

The powerful bank interest which con-
trolls the Republican party and policy il
preparing, already, to turn the Ohio vic
tory to account. Assuming that it means
an Endorsement of the financial views oil
the New York national banks, it boldly
proposes that the greenback circulation
shall be retired forever, and the place i,
occupies be taken by the national bank
paper. We are told that resumption has
not been accomplished; it has only been
commenced; that it is subject to continual
danger as long as the greenbacks remain in
the circulation, since. at any time, an ex-
traordinary demand for the redemption of
these notes would exhaust the gold in the
treasury, and thus force the government
to suspend specie payment again, and
that the only method of avoiding this dan
ger is to redeem the greenbacks and des-
troy them for good The New York
EUening Post says:
Evidently therefore, the financial Ques-
ton cannot be said to be settled so long as
the promlssory notes of the government,
its demand debt, remain due and unpaid
and threaten the government, at wpat
time IN the future no man can tell. with a
pressure which it cannot bear. The Re-
publican newspapers cannot keep too stead
lastly before their party and it's leaders
this unfinished work The only thing for
the government to do with it's notes is the
thing which any private citizen would do
with his own notes about which he was
nervous-that is, to get them out of the
way, to pay them. No intelligent man of
business in this city will say that the
financial situation is absolutely safe SO long
as the greenbacks rem ain unpaid.
In about six weeks congress will meet.
During the interval every newspaper and
every public speaker should iterate and
reiterate demand for the passage by
congress of an act for the payment with
drawal, cancellation and destruction of
greeIbacks as they return to the treasury.
The Republicans OF Ohio will be sur
prised to learn that this is what they voted
for at their recent election; and the Re-
publcans of all the Western states will
be startled at learning that Republicanism
means the abolition of the natio1aI cur
reney. Congress bas repeatedly SIGHTED
that the present ereenback circulation
should be maintained, and evea NJ. Sher-
man has officially declared that it is neces
sary as regulator of our financial system.
But the Eastern backs covet the field it
occupies; as long as there are greeobacks
to the value of $546. 900, 900 In circulation,
there must be a Limitation o! the bank cur
rency. Recall the ereenbacks end there
will be room for 1916 100000 more of
national bank notes-and this is what the
bank interest now demands.
