night-A coed sob, But Receipts were

Another burglary wna committed last
night, the Sc lndsnavisn house, on the
corner of paird and Pine streets. being
the scene of operations The burglars
gained entrance to the second story by
means OF q rear stair way and went
through all the rooms on that door.
Chris Johnson, q farmer living twenty
miles out in the country, was stopping
at the hotel for the night and had with
him twenty eight dollars. This the
burglars secured. johnson brought a
load of wheat TO town yesterday and the
amount stolen was what he had left
from proc ,eds OF the sale. lie is not
wealthy enough to be able to afford the
loss. There was gathered from the
clothing OF other guests OF the house six
dollars and q halt in currency, making a
total of thirty -four and q half dollars rs
the result of the raid. The operation
was performed with the skill and secrecy
which characterized the work the other
night at the Dakota house. Small hotels
seem to be the speciality OF this gang.
The profits are not large, bat the pri-
vacy OF their operations Is greatly en-
HANGED by the darkness which usually
prevails in such establishmep and by
the excellent sleeping qualities OF their
inmates.
The authorities are we'll convinced
that these burglaries and many Others
during the past are committed by a res
ident gang OF operators. They feel Ger.
tsin that they know who these men are,
but have never been able to obtain my
evidence OF q conyicting nature against
them. Year after year Yankton suffers
their depredations and they abide with
as unmolested. 1t would seem q proper
thing under the circumstances TO order
them hence and enforce the order.
They are OF no use to the community
and are exceeding uncomfortable
citizens. Whatever may be the legal
aspect of the case. public sentiment
would sustain o reasonable amount OF
heroic treatment.

a total sale and consumption of l, ,O99. 776
packages in Chicago 81. 8 per cent. was
manufactured by convict labor at Joliet.
In these ten years the Joliet contractors
business increased $50 per cent. During
the same time the increase OF private eStab-
Iishments. was only 81 per cent. it having
feebly iiuctuated throughout the time, and
at the end is no stronger than at the begin

stimulated as it has been by the enormous
meat packing trade of Chicago. should have
increased in itself four or five fold during
the last decade. and would have done SO
beyond doubt if such opportunity for free
develOpement had been open to it as were
enjoyed by other branches of industry.
Instead Of that it has barely maintained its
existence by continued and unequal Strug-
gle. The consequence has been, as is tre-
quently stated, that Chicago cOopers have
| often been able to earn more upon the
streets at any kind of unskiled labor
than at the trade they have spent years to
acquire. The average pay of Chicago
coopers is 81 per week. Why, even the
convict who has spent five years at Joliet
and learned the trade. comes up to Chicago
and finds that if he wants to work at his
trade he must 60 back to Joliet. The simple
fact that CTS per cent. OF the provision
coOperage used in Chicago is manufactured
in prison. by contractors who pay no rent,
30 insurance on buildings. and no tax on
realty, and hire men at from 45c to 6219c
day. makes the consequent reduction of
| skilled cOOpeIs to the rank of day labOrers
inevitable, and should convince any man in
Illinois or elsewhere without other demon
stration, that convict labor does underseIi
free labor. and is used by consumers.

and SO universally known to be SO, that |

have moved to Chicago and the state carries
on the business. but the firm buys the goods
at the same price they were able to produce

change. The convict labor CONTROLS the
Chicago coOperage trade just the same as it
did before What you want 10 tell the
laboring man to agitate is. that cOnvicts be

morality of the whole country will be con-
tinually lowered. and the prison problem
will be SO much farther from solution
We would advise them to read the report
of the commissioner of labor for 1886, and
perhaps their ideas will broaden out Suffi-
cieutly to enable them to see they are try
ing to take backward step. They might
also gain some enlightenment from reading
the proceedings of the National Prison
congress, and learning what those best
acquainted with the needs ct the prison
have to say. 1t will thus be ascertained
that the "stone pile" has no intelligent ad-
vocates. Those who have given the sub
ject intelligent thought do not lose sight of
the moral requirements of those who have
devated from the narrow path too far and
been caught at it.
There is movement in progress that will
put this prating, demOralizing element to
shame. ere many years: and he who has
been more unfortunate than his fellow man
only in having been caught. will be impris-
oned to remedy his evil inclination. and to
prevent evil deeds If this object is attained
he will be returned to society morally sound
and prepared TO take his place by the side
of the skilled artisan or mechanic and earn
an honest living. The brand of convict
is growing more ndiStinct. year by year.
ana the Stuuent Oh humanity KNOWS tnat So
long as the intellect remains sound there is
possibility OF reformation. In fact, the
difference between cOnvictS and ordinary
humanity is only imaginary. l have lived
among both and am better able to judge
fairly than any one who has not so lived.
Any man who will view the question
fairly and intelligently cannot escape the
conviction that the prisoner demands only
humane, intelligent treatment to lessen the
amount OF crime, and raise the moral status
of the whole country. AS long as men are
imprisoned to avenge personal loss or injury,
and their rights are ignored, just SO long
will crime be on the increase.

Faith and Works.

Faith and works are soul and body
Works are of faith. and faith is itself
work. and grace gives it all. No man is
forgiven till he repents; no man repents till
he believes: and no man believes with out
obedience. The root. the trunk, the
branches, and the leaves are all one tree.
In short, the end of forgiveness is simply
character: the end. the demonstration, and
the measure of it all.
Character is imperfect now; we are for
given; and we sin again. We do not mean
to sin; we mean not to sin. But when we
would do good evil is present with u.s. The
good we would, we do not. The evil we
would not, that we do. OmuZd and Ahri-

awful mystery against which we strike our
heads as against an adamantine wall. We
sail over vexed and tossing seas. the storms

A JOY to him who grieves

Both feel their magic sway;
They are like gems of rarest kind,
Pure as the light of day.
Amid the din of worldly strife
They do not often come;

Are lost in joys of home
Then they are heard in tones of love,
