AN HONEST BURGLAR.

Chicago. Jan. 9.-Matthew Feeny, an Irish
boy who came to this country short time ago.
pleaded guilty to charge of burglary in the Grim
inal court to-day. Judge Tuthll became inter-
ested in him on account of his frank, honest ap-
pearance, and elected from him his story which is
to the effect that he had been unable to get work
that he was starving. and that he had committed
the burglary for the purpose of being sent to the
penitentiary, where he could learn trade. Judge
Tuthill wrote letter to the comm ssoners of
public works. recommending that something be
found for the boy to do and saying that if this
was done he would release him.-Pioneer Press.
There is many hardened criminal in this
country who would be an honest man to-
day. had he been dealt with in his youth as
Judge Tuthill dealt with young Matthew
Feeny. Such exercise of judicial power
compels men to regard the judge and the
law as being truly majestic: and men who
have offended will look to them as friends
that will put them right. and not as re-
vengeful enemies. THE MIRROR is always
glad to note such far seeing and noble eX-
ercise of judicial prerogative. and it hopes
to see the day when such methods will be
the rule in every court in the land, and not
the exception, as to be matter of sur
prise, as at the present day.

THE FOURTH MANAGING EDITOR OF THE

GOvERNOR.-One of the last acts of Elk Gov.
McGills official career was the application Of the
pardoning power. The lucky individual who en-
joyed the fruits of executive clemency was O. c.
v, who was sent to saltwater little over
year ago for term Of two years and ten months
for impersonating another man. AS inmate
his record was remarkably good and recently he
was appointed managing editor of THE PRISON
MIRROR. published at Saltwater by the convicts,
succeeding w. F. Mirick Strangely enough
v was the fourth journalistic anomaly par
doned by the governor, and the other victs be.
lieve in the freedom which attaches to the press.
as exemplifed by the successful libeartions of
their somewhat hampered moulders Of public epin.
ion.-St. Paul Daily News.
We Journalistic anomaly fail to see any
thing strange" or ''queer" about the par
doning of our late editor; and would deem
it unnecessary to comment on the above did
it not imply dark things in connection
with our 'anomalistc" journal. The News
is mistaken about the number of 'anOm-
allies" that have received executive Glenn
ency. The first anomaly went out on a
communication which had been granted be-
fore THE MIRROR made its advent The
second anomaly" was pardoned ON the
recommendation Of his trial judge, prose-
cutOr and jury-on the merits of the case
and not by mysterious methods. The third
ANOMALY" was pardoned at the earnest
solicitation of many good citizens of the
state. So, you see. the coincidence is not
so queer.

inmates except that properly credited. It's sup

courage individual intellectual effort, provide a
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other
prisons, and above all, to acquaint the outside

much less eXcelled. by his successors. His
sympathies were with us, and with none
more than the most lowly and torsaken of
our number He freely and gladly gave his
talents and spare time to assist others in I'M
tangling their legal and social d difficulties
with the outside world. He went from here
with a clouded reputation and an empty
purse; sad conditions under which to begin
anew the battle of life. Storms will come.
adverse winds blow deep chasms yawn at
his feet, and blank mountain walls rise be-
fore him; but he will weather all and sur
mount them, and in the end win glorious
victory. He has left us at the foot of the
mountain. but we hope to some day grasp his
hand at the summit.

The Minneapolis Evening Journal of
the 18th, gives a graphic description of
this prison and its surroundings, as viewed
from the guard house on the hill; also a
mates. If other journals. in their descrip-
lions of the prison and its inmates, would
be as free from exaggeratiOn and personali-
ties. the public would not be so msled re-
garding the condition and management of
their prison.

By reading THE MIRROR, paper printed
and published in our state prison. and ed
tied by the cOnvicts. one cannot help but
be astoniShed at some of the articles writ
ten by the convicts; it plainly shows that
some of the cOuntry's best brains and ability
are incarcerated within the four walls The
paper asks for more subscribers and we
hope will get them. The paper is not large
but the reading matter is such as is seldom
found in larger and cheaper periodicals, and
its subscription price is one dollar year.

THE PAROLE SYSTEM.

There is great probability that the pres
ent Legislature will so amend the parole
law as to include this prison in the opera
ton of the system. We understand that
the Board of Corrections and Charities will
recommend it. Gov. McGill recommended
it in his last message; but its strongest
claim to recognition is the good showing it
