ing from what is said of Our paper it's
merit exceeds what the public expected in
a paper emanatng from penitentiary
1t would be presumptu0uS in us to at
tempt specification of particular instances
wherein THE MIRROR has accomplished
beneficial results. To say that it has been
the means of reforming single eyil-doer
would be claiming what it cannot prove:
but its aim has been to impress its readers
with the fact that their own welfare and
happiness les in living in strict accord with
the written and unwritten laws of honesty
and morality.
The publication of THE MIRROR has
certainly attracted the attention of many
able minds to the long neglected needs of
the penal institutions of the west. We hope
that THE MIRROR has accomplished enough
good to justify its coming into existence.
and that it may continue to grow in merit
and in the good graces Of the public
With the continued encouragement of
our friends outside the walls. the newspa
pers and the prison management, THE
MIRROR hopes to reach it's fourth volume
with as fair name as it now enters upon
the third year.

TO THE PUBLIC.

THE PRISON MIRROR is weekly paper pub
lished in the Minnesota state prison. All matter
published in its columns is contributed by the
inmates. except that properly credited. Its sup
port must come from the outside every inmate
is given paper without cost. 1t is published in
the interest of the prison library and after paying
for the printing outfit. contributed $3.50 to the
library fund the first year. Its objects are to en-
courage individual intellectual effort. provide a
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other
prisons, and. above all to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
It's inner life and thus aid the cause of moral ad-
vancement and prison reform.

The Good Time Settled.

The following letter was received by Mr..
eral Clapp. relative to the method of com
putting the good time:
DEAR SIR: You ask for further in
depreciation Of section forty one of chapter
two hundred and fifty four OF the general
laws of 1889. being that portion of SAID
chapter which relates to the dminution of
sentence for good conduct on the part of
cOnvictS.
AS | understand your inquiry. it relates
more particularly to the application of this
law to those who were sentenced before the
act in question became a law.

The Pioneer Press of the 18th inst i'm a
long editorial discussion on the employment
of convict labor, says: when we cease to
regard convict labor as a money making
possibility. and when we use employment
for prisoners as means to the end of turn
ing criminals into honest men, we shall
have moved considerably toward the sou-
ton Of the prison labor problem.''

In reply l would say. that i'm my opinion
such convict is entitled to such credit as was
allowed him under the former law up to the
date when the law in question went into eff
feet. and then for such credit for the re-
mainder of his term as is provided by said
act of 1889.
Perhaps l can make this palmer by al, il
lustration. The law in question went into
effect on the oath day of April 1889. The
convict who had been previously sentenced
for term of seven years and his time
served. coupled with the credit which he
might have earned under the old law, would
on the oath day of April. amount to two

How do you do Now there was moth
ing strange in that. but what followed was
strange indeed. Said the man. Il am
agoing to start little newspaper here in
prison. TO be conducted entirely by the in
mates, and | am around talking the matter
up. The warden has given his consent.
and all that is now necessary is the capital
to purchase the plant" We were aston
Shed to hear a man talk with so much
assurance regarding SO important matter.
The idea of prison newspaper had never
before entered our sleepy brain: therefore
we did not become enthusiastic at once.
But the man was born organizer. and be-
fore he left our door we had agreed to risk
few dollars in the venture. The stranger
passed on from one to another until the re-
Quired capital $780, had been subscribed.
In due time all was ready, and on the
tenth day of August eighteen hundred and
eighty seven THE PRISON MIRROR was a
reality. And from that day to this it has
not missed all issue or failed to promptly
meet payment. 1t has continued to grow
in popularity until to-day there is not
more widely known journal in the state of
Minnesota. nor one that reflects more credit
upon tie liberaity and progressive spirit
of her people.

ceeded the expectations of its Sangulne
founder But its success has not been at

each week for his inspection. but to our
certain knowledge all the matter he has

The New York Governor Talks 70 Demo-
cratic Lenguers-He Praises Cleve.
land-Leffer From the Ex- Presi.
dent-The Republicans

OenOuuceos
NEW YORK. October 22.-The annual
convention of the State League of Demo-
cratic Clubs met in the Hoffman House to-
day. Governor Hill appeared before the
convention and made brief address. The
coming campaign he deemed most import
ant one. He said it was important that the
Democrats should win this fight in the
State because of its Importance elsewhere in
the country. The Democratic party stood
exactly where it did year ago. 1t had
pledged itself for tariff reform, and it re-
iterated the pledge. The longer the pres
ent administration was in power the more
it would be shown what wise administra-
ton was that of Grover Cleveland, for
Grover Cleveland fulfilled the pledges of
his party. The speaker had con-
yersed with many people in the South
and they were hopeful of victory. Democrats
in all the States were organizing for the
fray, and New York was not behind in its
organization. He said that within the last
ten DAYS the Republicans had tried to steal
the whole Democratic vote of Montana, and
declared that the removals from office or
dered by the present administration were
without cause. He said further that the
Republican party had violated every pledge
which it had made, and charged that the
Cabinet places had been put up and sold to
the highest bidder.
After recess a communication from ex-
President Cleveland was read, in which
Mr.. Cleveland expressed his qualification
that the New York League of Democratic
Clubs was to be permanent. In conclusion
he said: II look to the ascendancy Of the
principles upon which true Democracy
rests, which will be greatly added by the
activity of leagues such as yours, to secure
us from wasting extravaganza, from dema
goguic pretense, from sectional bitterness
and from the widespread corruption of suf-
| frage."
Resolutions were then adopted indorsing
| the State ticket, reaffirming devotion to the
platform of the st. Louis convention oi
June, 1888; advocating proper reform Of
the ballot laws and denouncing the Repub.
lican party for having neglected to join with
the Democracy in enacting safe reform in
that particular Other resolutions CON
demned the action of the Republican admin.
| istration in theremoval of the Chief Justice oi
one OF the territories; denounced the project
of the Republican party for subsidizing
steamship corporations; indorsed the wise
and economical administration of Governor
Hill, and renewed congratulations to Grover
Cleveland for the wisdom and bravery with
which he fought the fight for tariff reform
and true Democracy in 1887 and 1888.
John Boyd Thatcher, of Albany, was
elected President for the ensuing year, and
the convention adjourned.
