Under the whip aud spur of demagogue
labor leaders, many of the states have
enacted laws breaking up the industries
of our prisons because they were COM
peting with legitimate work and wages
IN various pursuits. In every instance
the destruction of Industries III our pris-
ous mas resulted in increased taxation for
the support of criminals aud in greatly
impsiriug all reformstory measures.
Steady labor is one of the indisp pen
sable methods of all reformatory institu-
OF criminals. 1t sends more people to
prison than all other causes combined. 1t
is the prolific parent OF crime, and the
road is direct from idleness to crime and,
TO the peni entiary. Employment is
therefore, I public uecessi:y-first, TO re-
form, and second, to lessen the cost of
CRIME upon the honest industry that pays
for its support; and every experiment
made in the line of idle convicts has been
disastrous.
With reasonable care in the direction
OF cur prisons, every criminal can be em
Pioyed without injury to any industry in
the state, and q iudicious discrimination
should be exercised in the lines of en-
ployment of prison inmates. Both sound
theory and well tested experience prove
that criminals must be Employed Econ
omy fot taxpayers and reform for Grim
inals alike demand il, and while the state
may well cor slider how and in what chan
nels prisoners may be employed, the
necessity for their employment is accept
ed as beyond controversy.

WILD HORSES.
Bands of These Animals in the Mountains OF
Nevada

Bands of These Animals in the Mountains of
Nevada.
We have all read of wild horses on the
plains, says the Eureka Sentinel, but
there are not many people who know that
there arc several bands IN the mountains
of Nevada. Such Is nevertheless the case,
and at least three bands have been seen
III this country along the high range D. ear
Lander line. There Is one group of seven
or eigat animals that is seen every sum
mer on the very top of Sascknasty noun
tain, southwest of Cortez. An old STALL
ion seems TO be the king pin OF the herd E.
Hs is essentially polygamous brute, as
nothing but mares are ever seen in his
com pauy, and is said to gaurd them with
a featherly care. l. 3st summer some of
tn, cowboys out III tnat section gave
chase to the band for two or three days.
When hotly pursued the old stallion was
seen to drop in the rear and vigorously
bite the Others to make them accelerate
their speed. He allowed none TO escape,
and if a tame animal falls in his way it
is taken along also. In remarkable
short time q domestic animal becomes as
wild as the rest. Several are known to
have been lost in this way. These wild
horses look especially large and fine when
climbing the precl clptloUs mountains.
They can go everywhere a mountain
sheep will go. But they do not bear
close investigation. When caught they
are found to be not much bigger than a
big grayhoand. The boys out on the old
Sned Walls ranch correIed one last season
after q two days hard drive over the hills.
The poor little thing was not worth the
effort. It com mpletely broke his heart and
constitution to be brought under the
rules of civilization. As the boys ex-
pressed it. "He wasn't worth short bit, I"
and they now pay 10 attention whatever
to the wild horses of Shacknasty noun
tain.

ALREADY it ia predicted that the Sa-
moan conference at Berlin will be able
to come to no definite understanding un
less the American commissioners are
willing To agree that some form of com
Pensation shall be granted to Germany
for the "outrages" of the adherents OF
Mataafa. The predictions may not be
fulfilled; indeed, 1t may he wise to treat
1t merely as irresponsible gossip. But
in the meantime it il well enough to
point out that a demand for Fompsnsa-
tion on this score would be quite prepos
ferrous. The troubles at Ap'a in which
German lives were lost appear to have
been brought on wholly by the interfer-
ence of the German forces in native af
fairs-au Interference in direct contra
vention OF the treaties OF neutrality and
against the earnest protests of the Ameri-
can and British authorities. This being
the case, the aggressors are hardly justi-
fed in com planning at the outcome.

THE STREET CAR STRIKE.
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Raise the Strike
No Trouble Followed

An Unsuccessful Attempt to RAISE the Strike
No Trouble Followed
MINNEAPOLIS, April l2.-The street car
company made its first formal attempt to
raise the strike at L O'Clock this after
noon. The move was made at the Fourth
avenue car barns. A special detail of
policemen was on hand to ride in the car
and see that order was kept. President
Lowry and Manager Frederick drove to
the spot in carriage TO see tho first
wheel move. The car proceeded on its
way, but had not gone twenty feet before
1t was stopped by the men, the horses
unhltched and the car showed back in the
barn. The policemen on the car made
no attemps to arrest anyone.
Shortly before O'Clock this afternoon
as the Fou -th avenue car was on it's way
back, it was surrounded by hug and
excited crowd. Finally some one set a
brake on the rear platform and stopped
it. At this juncture squad of mounted
police dashed out of an alley from the
central police s6ation, and rushed at full
speed into the crowd, with clubs drawn.
Once in the center of the crowd they ar
rested three men and retreated. The
crowd were constantly increasing and
getting very violent To make
matters worse, number of express
wagons, filed with strikers, drove in
front of cars and succeeded in making a
C 'mplete blockade. A driver of a car
finally unlocked bis horses and went off
amid the cheers of the crowd, leaving the
car standing on the track. A little later,
another car on Washington, while on
its way back, was blockaded by
two wood carts which were dropped
on the corner of Washing ton and Henne.
pin. The driver became disgusted, and,
unhitchIng his horses, drove off. The
situation was getting serious. A great
many stones had been thrown, and the
excitement ran at fever heat. Three
mounted policemen charged upon the
crowd, throwing down several people and
injuring a number. Several arrests were
made this time and one man unme rcifully
attempt to move the cars was then
abandoned, and the crowd became less
demonstra,ive and gradually thinned out,
leaving two cars on the track. Thus
ended the day in which Lowry prophesied
he would have all the cars running on
every line before night.
ST. PAUL, April 12.-Che street car
strike extended from Minneapolis to this
city this afternoon, when all the men ek-
cepT those o. the cable lines went out.
The cause OF the strike Is the same as
that at Minneapolis. The nen obi set to
reduction of twenty five per cent. in
their wages, which has been ordered.
Everything Ia quiet.
