An Interesting Experiment.
Boston Journal

Boston Journal
An interesting and very inexpensive expert
ment in convict education has been made during
the last three years in the Sing Sing prison, un-
der the management of Warden Bursh Scarcely
any one is discharged from Sing Sing now who
cannot read, write and cast up simple accounts.
Each class meets three times week for an hour
and half of instruction, and the convicts are
allowed lights in their rooms until o'clock for
additional study. Reading, writing and arith-
metic are the subjects principally taught, and
there is no difficulty in finding instructors among
the higher grades Of criminals The effect of
these night schools is seen not only in the giving
occupation to the minds of the prisoners and i'm
parting to them the elements Of simple educa-
ton. but in marked elevation IN their morals.
They are more tractable and more ambitious,
and are more easily influenced by thoughts of a
better life. The entire expense of the introduc-
ton of the system has been only SIS for books

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
: If you will allow an outsider to express an
opinion upon the state of affairs in the Indianapo
lis district it is that the Republicans of that dis
trict can make ten-strike by nominating Gov.
Porter for Congress. / feel satisfied that his
nomination would help the State ticket by a
thousand votes. 1t would be certain TO restore
the old time maiorities in Marion county, and
result in lis certain election to Congress. Not
withstandng his Discrimination to take the race,
he would not decline spontaneous and hearty
nomination under the circumstances, feel as
sured At least he ought not to do so. That is
the feeling in this part of the country.
