The other sections OF tile article on

similar 10 those of other states, but at
least three of the new sections added
are extraordinary, and it may be
doubted If they are TO he found In

California, which has been followed
literally in many things. Indeed. so
marked Is the tent enc, la initiate that
document that menber one day oh

constitution. The unusual sections
referred to are those declaring against
free passes, which, by the way. il To he

and the limitation OF time within
which an ac. must be introduced Ia

act can be amended or revised by

qualification that members OF the segis-
lature must have been residents of the

He Is mighty lucky delegate who
has not heard from his constituents
since the acts oi the convention have
been published To the world. A mur-
muir OF protest against certain actions
has come up from almost every part
OF the state. The principal source Of
objection Is that there is 80 much at
tempt at legislation. The delegate
who had not received any kicks to
speak OF said he supposed the reason
was taat he had voted no upon almost
every proposition. OF course nothing
is supposed 10 be placed in the consts-
tuition that Is not fundamental, and
there Is a wonderful diversity of opin-

A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
A Plan to Lessen the Evils of the Sibe-
rian Exile System.

The Howard Association, of Great Britain, an
organization devoted to the reform of defec-
tive penal systems and the amelioration of the
condition Of prisoners throughout the world,
published in the London Times OF January g.
1889, formal protest against the treatment of
exiles in Siberia, as described in the papers of
MIR. George KEENAN,, recently published in the
Century magazine. copy of this protest was
mailed to every member of the International
Prison association, well as to every promi-
nent prison refOrmer in Europe. MIR. KEENAN,
has just received a letter from Mr.. VIM Tallack
secretary of the Howard association, in which
the latter says that he sent one copy of the
protest to Baron Won Holtzendorff of Munich
one OF the most eminent iurists and PEN
ologists in Europe. In acknowledging its re-
ceipt, under date of Munich, January 18th
Baron Won Holtzendorff saws, 1.-THE circum-
stances in Siberia are frjgttfuL. All intelligent
Russians. without exception, admit this. few
DAYS ago Mr.. Galkine Wrasskoy chief of the
Russian prison administration. visited me. He
stated that the Russian government is resolved
to abandon the punishment of transportation.
except to the island of Saghalien and to parts
OF the Amoor region accessible by water"
The wording of Baron Won Holtzendorff's
letter carries the implication that even the
chief of the Russian prison department ad-
mitted that the circumstances i'll Siberia are
frightful' and that the necessity for reform is
.
which Mr.. Galkine Wrasskoy referred. if car
ried into effect, will reduce by several thou
sands the number of exiles sent to Siberia a.~
nually, and will thus lessen, to a considerable
extent, the overcrowding of the forwarding
prisons and the immense amount of suffering
to which it gives rise. 1t il regarded as a step
in the right direction, but, unfortunately, it
does not 60 far enough to satisfy justice and
humanity. The scheme of reform as outlined
in the Russian newspapers, proposes to abolish
only the transportation of common criminals
to Siberia as forced colonists." 1t leaves I'M
touched the exile OF political offenders by lad
ministrative process" the sending of hard
labor conyicts to the East Siberian mines, and
the Punishment of four or five thousand peas
ants every year by communes. All that it pro-
poses to do is to lock up one class Of criminals
hereafter in the prisons of European Russia,
instead Of sending them to Siberia and there
turning them loose to prey upon society. Hard
labor convicts, communal exiles, and political
offenders are to 60 to Siberia as usual. Linn
tied and inadequate as the proposed reform is,
every well-wsher Of Russia must hope to see it
adopted. 1t is now awaiting discussion in the
council Of the empire, and some decision with
regard to it will probably be reached in the
course OF the present year.
