ut may surprise you TO learn that the
worst men In state prison are by no means
the professional criminals whom the law
pursues 30 relpntlessly while they have
their liberty. Your farmer who has shot
down his neighbor's live stock IN revenge,
or poisoned a we'll or hams;rung horse
the tramp who has fired barn or commi,
ted rape-the village tough who has chew
ed somed some ones ear of or u4ed a knife
these are the fellows who want to be con.
sidered prison heroes, They concoct plots
and plans in order to be taken ior keen
men. They defy keeper to show how
desperate they are. They take foggrng
to prove that they are clear grit. And yeti
when you size 'em up for what they are
you find them ours. If tunnel were dug
for them they would not have the nerve to
crawl through to liberty, There is no shop
without lis sucker or giye-away, and
sometimes there are two or three to shop
These soon become known TO all men, and
are treated with the contempt such people
deserve.
"Some of the plans and plots oi prisoners

The Toledo Bee thinks the citizens OF
Toledo may be thankful that they have
escaped the inhicion OF Sam Jones and
Sam Small While they have said many
good and practical things their intemper-
ate abuse of those who differ with them
are destroying the good effect that their
sermons might have, etc. Others claim
because they are reported 10 be making
money by delivering their sesmons they
are frauds. II the people pay them we'll
for their laborh where they have been, Is il
not an evidence that the people are willing
to pay for their sledge-hammer blows
against sin and hypocracy2
Father Griswold, the gray-hsired pa,
triarch OF the Lancaster Gazette, went TO
hear the Monday forenoon sermons of the
two Sans week ago last Monday and
Gays lie is glad that he availed himself of
the opportunity, as it had greatly modified
his views OF the two men and their labor,
which bad been founded on newspaper re-
ports and hearsay of their sermons. He
compliments both, and speaking of Mr..
Jones says his entire discourse must be
heard to be properly appreciated, then ii
will be seen that there is isason for his
roughness and slusging blows against
evil in the shape OF hypocracy and lis varl-
Gus other forms.
We copy below two paragraphs from
Jones, one from the urbana Citizens re-
port, on country editors, and the other on
prea chers:
"He said, 'nine-tenths of these country
newspapers can be bought, from the
editor to the devil for jng of whlskey.'
A ne.looking gentleman in the audience
replied: If there are any that won't, il il
because they are run by some of these pin
headed little fellows that amount to so
little that no one will buy them.' The
| gentleman was about to remark again and
began by saying. Il was methodist before
| you were born,' when policeman told
him 10 stop, as remarks not in harmony
| with what was said from the platform
| would not be allowed, Small then went on
| TO call the editors 'spaniels' and TO say that
| If the stomach ofone OF these fellows was
taken out and hung up in hell, the black
yullures wouldlvomit from the smell and
| fly away At this some brother, with
heart full of Christian love. called out hit
em again. aud the audience cheered
| Remarks OF this sort now have the
effect of producing more hearty responses
and cheers than Gospel texts of invitation
to sinners"
Sam Jones touches The half-fare preach
ers' ticket, or the preachers half fare tick
ct after the following manner al am sorry
for you poor preachers taking everything
at reduced rates and prces. Why, when
n merchant or a grocer throws off 20 per
cent on everything, you can't tell him of

will pay full fares on railroads and full
prices for everything they get, then they'll
