THE LABOR PROBLEM.

The leading journals of the state are
awake, and are treating the prison labor
problem in manner that will at least bring
about all intelligent survey of the prison
and its population. Minnesota is far in adj
vance of many of the older states in her in
telligent management of her penal institu-
situations; and the establishment of re-
fOrmatOry with the most advanced methods
for treating criminality. bespeaks for her
that prudence and Sagacity which is abreast
with all true progress. 1t may be that the
last Legislature was hasty in abolishing the
contract system without making proper pro-
visions for the employment of the inmates
of the prison, but this neglect was more the
result of ignorance, which the law makers
share with the whole people outside the
prison walls, than any intention to cause
financial los, to the state or int1ict an in
justice upon those of the law violaters who
chance to be in prison.
When we speak of the ignorance of the
prison. we mean ignorance in its broadcast
sense, for aside from knowing that there is
prison IN the state and it is located at
Saltwater, the knowledge of it's inner
workings. management and condition is as far
from the knowledge Of the people as is a
knowledge Of the exile system in Russia.
If the prison is visited, it is with let's-go
to-the-c rcus-Joe, idea. and with no inten-
ton Of learning the condition of it's inner
machinery and management, or the capa-
bilities, rights duties or wants of it's in
mates The sght-seers enter the prison,
pass through the various departments, eyes
and ears open to the limit; they pass out.
and what do they know? They have seen
the state prison and they know no more of
practical value about it than does a resident
OF Mars. The inmates, to the majority of
these persons, are a hard visaged harder
hearted. degraded, tiendish, murderous
band, herded together like so many tigers in
an Indian jungle, and only prevented from
bouncing upon and devourng the visitors

A Boys Composition on Conyicts.

convict is a stripped animate like zebery
only zebery has fl re legs and convict has two.
and convict don't XIX Just like zebery and it
never hurts anything but hiself. Some convicts
are redheded and some buliheded and some
haven't got any ned to speak Of They always
march in a line like Gees only Gees goin line
and convcts goin two lines. 1t hard to tell some
convicts from Gees only there don't any feathers
gro on convicts. When they go to talk they hiss,
hiss like Gees. Some convicts eat as much a
man. but they don't care any thing for ice cream
pie They eat mostly hash but don't like hair
pins or sho strings in It, COnvcts don't kno any
thing about George Washington and most convicts
good at stealth for they get cot at it too
quick. Convicts live in big house and each one
has room to themselves and their door to their
room is made of Iron and it is locked all the time
the convict is in his room so one get in to
hurt the convict to steal anything while he
sleeps. Some corvicts snores worse nor old
maid Some cOnvicts are trained to sing and they
call them the CANARY birds. Some cary basket
and give out letters and newspapers just like a
postmaster, and some can make nOOspaper.
Take them all together they pretty Orefull
Set They always have men to guard them to take
care of them and see they don't get hurt no
body hurts them or breaks into their house and
kidnaps them. When the convict don't behave
they put them in the hole and don't give them
nothing to eat but bread and water Some of them
try to put lots of style, they have brace cts
their ankles and chains about 10 feet long and still
that ANT enough, they have ball on the end of
the chain for a charm. When a boy wants to be
convict he reads dime novels and runs with other
bad boys and commences to smoke and drink bad
whisky before he is b g enuf. A fellow ought waite
till he is about hundred years Old before he does
that and then he wouldn't want to do it. Con-
victs are pretty good at goin through most any
thing and they all say what made them cOnvicts
was somebody squeeled on them. G. ENOS.

We publish on first page OF this issue a
communication from an inmate OF Sing
Sing prison. The writer is the editor of
1.-The Solitaire" monthly paper produced
with the pen and brush. Each issue con-
ssts of one copy and he informs us he has
thirty readers. The first number of his
paper was noticed in these columns some
months ago when we published extracts
from it. His objections to our views are
accepted as they are no doubt intended. We
hope to hear from him again.

by the vigilance and bravery of a stalwart
guard. If the masses of the people knew
one hundreth part of what every intelligent
inmate knows Of the prison, the apparent
difficulties of the problem would mould into
common sense form. a plain. but positive
solution.
PhilanthrOpists and prison officials have
been made the subjects of great deal of
light comment, because they are universally
the prisoners friends. We care not how
severe an officer may be, how closely he
may guard the line of discipline he is the
prisoners friend outside the prison. We
care not how straight laced moraIist. or
reigionist may be, how firmly he may hold
to the doctrine of punishment for wrong
doing. he will. if associated with prisoners
long enough to learn their inner motives

look upon them as men in common with all
men.

and nothing eventually lost by the egisla-

to deal intellgently with the question when
it is again presented to them. We are

LETTER FROM NIIRICK.
The Former Editor of The Mirror Has
Not Forgotten Us.

To The Editor of The Mirror
1t is not often that one holding so respOn-
sble and exalted position as Editor in
chief" OF so popular and useful journal as
The MIRROR, finds himself so suddenly
relieved of duty as to be unable to take
leave of his friends until after lapse of
three weeks; but thus it seems in my case.
The expedition with which 1 reinquished
my duties on THE MIRROR on the 22d of
August need no comment here. Enough
has already been said through its columns
to give the reader a general idea of the
causes which led to my release after serving
two years and ten months OF life sentence,
Further than this. it is not meet that |
should occupy the valuable space of THE
MIRROR with an explanation of personal
matters, so it only remains for me to take
leave OF my associates in misfortune and re
turn my most sincere thanks to the many
Kind friends on the outside who did 50 much
to make my prison life endurable, and keep
alive the spark of hope that many times
was almost eXtinguished.
During the year of my connection with
The MIRROR can truthfully say that
always had its best interests at heart and
labOred to that end | am only sorry that
was not more successful. Though there
was plenty of bitter with the sweet, only
remember the latter. OF those to whom
was indebted for valuable assistance in
making THE MIRROR so readable, | wish
especially to thank G. E.. Observer, White
Ribbon, Alexis. L. NJ. the combative
Phoenix, G. NJ, the lamented K, our friend
From Over the Sea-" Tammany, Ingomar.
The Basket, c. H. R., and several others
whose nom de pIumes have escaped my
memory.
For the many kind words of encourage
nent and commentator from the ex-
changes, return my sincere thanks: also
for the fattering mention of my sister and
myself in THE MIRROR of Aug. 80. and
you may rest assured that no act of mine
will ever be stumbling block to the release
of any deserving unfortunate who may be
seeking executive clempncy
l remember with the most grateful feel
lngs the kindness and assistance of the Off
GERS of the prison who assisted so materially
in the establishing of THE MIRROR and in
encouraging so worthy an object.
In conclusion, allow me to congratulate
IHE MIRROR on having so able corps of
editors, and also to verify the truth of my

after it had passed to the control of other
hands," The two last issues were abundant
proof that l am true prophet. There is no
reason why it should not continne to i'm

and it should also become success fnan-

its support that class of phianthrOpists who
are ever on the lookout for new methods of
allevating the sutferings of the fallen, and
it only needs to be brought to their notice.
