Object of Prison Reformers.

The finest analysis is now applied. under
the spell of prison reform. to the determi-
nation Of the future of the convict himself.
If he is a poor devil. and has come into the
world wrong side up, the reformer of soci
|ety affirms that it is not his fault, but his
misfortune, and even if he does not think
that "a silk purse can be made out of a
|sOw's ear, he is willing to see how large a
part of a man is concealed under a crimi-
mails neglected life. The interest of rel
formers is now mainly directed toward the
effort to remove the conditions of social life
(which tend to promote crime, and to deal
with criminal careers on the basis of the
conviction of the late Archbishop Trench,
that there is more in race than there is in
Ieducation; that down in the real depths of
every mans life, if we will take the pains
Ito try to find it. there is the making of a
man, unless there be defect of organiza-
ton and limitation of the endowment of
the natural man.-Boston Herald.

leading lumber at the planning mill. one of the

was soon saved. Who will say convicts are not
humane to those in trouble-however, the boys

SALUTATORY.

1t is the peculiar province Of newspaper salu-
tatory to promise great many absurd and some
impossible things.
One can generally recognize the article without
a guiding headline by its studied phraseology and
the earnest manner in which the hopeful but i'm
pecunious editor announces his intention to 90
forth presently, sail to the moon, bride some
stars, pluck some chunks off the universe, and
bring the whole pile unto the feet of the reader,
solely, too, for the readers benefit. The idea
that selfish motive can be connected with the
publication of a newspaper is not to be enter
tanned in salutatory of 1888. So runs the popu
lar brand.
The WoMAN's CHRONICLE, however, announces
now at the very outset that is radically different
from all other newspapers, and will be published
for purely selfish reasons. The enterprise has
been undertaken with at most but two distinctly
defined motives The first is to make little
money the second is to make little more
money.
We believe there is broad field for this paper
said that many predecessors have only looked
over the fence. Many weekly papers have been
started and in time ceased to exist, but of all
such, in all probability there was not one that
deserved to live. The people of Little Rock, and
of Arkansas, will support the first home paper de-
voted to the topics of which WoMAN's CHRONICLE
treats
The name has been selected from the fact that
she paper designs to be the reflex of the real life
and spirit of this grand old state not as an out
slider sees it, but as we see it who are of it, With
this object in view, the topics which will receive
especial attention will be the Womans Christian
Temperance Union, Woman's Exchange Orphans
Home, Old Ladies' Home, Woman's Auxiliary to
Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1888-03-03

The one enduring word written across the plat
form of WoMAN's CHRONICLE is H-a-p-p-i-n-e-s-s.
On the first plank is the letter g H." for health,
home and humanity, without any one of which
woman's life is incomplete. "a" represents the
aesthetics of home life and the art of adjoining
home thas furnishes recreation from the oft, time
monotoilous round of duty ssP" means tile
power to WELD the sceptre in the domestic realm !;
to guide the little feet and hands and thoughts in
the right way. 1t means, again, the perseverance
that is so needful to every effort, and it might
refer to promptness and punctuality most desir-
able of virtues. "1' means the industry that is
necessity in the life of thrifty woman, and re-
fers to an idea which may now and then wander
into its columns, IN" represents the nursery,
that little domain of love and anxiety dear to
every mothers heart. 'sE refers to education;
broad plank it is, firmly founded and enduring,
as the future will reveal "S" means the ser
want question, that perplexing, soulharrowing
problem which threatens to engulf woman kind.
1t represents, too, the social life, that developer
Of the best in womans nature. And now comes
the final "S''; what means it? can it mean suf-
frage? Is suffrage essential to happiness? Who
shall decide? who, indeed - save time? There
are two broad steps that lead to this platform
On one is written the word Temperance
temperance in everything, it signifies, On the
other step is inscribed in golden letters the word
" Charity" What volumes it bespeaks, and how
entirely all other virtues are subservent to it, no
one realizes more fully than woman kind.

Full many were the trials and trbulations she en-
countered, yet through them all she passed with
her strong love and faith for the ultimate success
of the work which she had begun, and which was
relnquished by her only at the Masters bidding
At this time there is no paper in the field we
wish to enter, and in making our bow to the pub
lie, we do SO feeling that we belong to you, if not
by birth by adoption.

come and go, many winters wax and wane," since
they came here to dwell, and although the third
member has been with us but few years she is
too well and fayorably known to require an intro
duction, having won from the first her place in the
hearts of young and old.

ton, and one of US is still employed in the school

In this, the initial number, WoMAN's CHRONICLE
makes its bow-its smiling, impartial bow-alike
to encouraging friends, its enemies, if it has any,
and the over-solicitous friends who have mounted
convenient pedestals by the roadway and waved
flaming torches as danger signals to the precipce
beyond. Not easily daunted WoMAN's CHRONICLE
has pressed on to the beacon light whose bright
rays beam out in the distance and promise success
to courageous and conscientious effort. With the
black flag of this voluntary signal service unfurled
above its head, and with the rain crows shrieking
ever so. defantly from the tree tops, WoMAN's
CHRONICLE, equipped for the storm, still bent upon
its mission, saies forth to honest purpose, look
ing hopefully to the silver lining that is said to be
the righteous possession of every dark and lower
inc cloud.

"WHAr are your politics." is the question put
in reference to this paper. Do you have suf-
frage in your platform?' Suffrage seems to be
the modern stand for the progressive, intelligent
woman to take. Women who have any interest
in politics usually embrace suffrage. But sup
pose, as intelligent women, we enter the arena
tabooing suffrage as we have the tariff, for the
sake of the home women who have no interest in
that direction. Do you remember Helen Hunt
Jackson's confession, after having been sent to
woman's suffrage meeting 70 write up satire for
leading New York daily? Instead Of fulfilling
her commission, she confessed to having been en-
tirely won over by Lucy Stones sweet manner,
and changed her colors forthwith. That was en-
tirely feminine quality in Helen Hunt, and you
will feel inclined to pardon her lack of staunch-
ness, even though she adopted the unpopular

g Or making many books there is no end, and
the same might be said of newspapers, but the
daughters of Arkansas have not, but should have
and take pride in paper all their own.

many difficulties, undertook and succeeded in
establishing the first womans paper in this state,
