Society refuses to recognize because Of
reputation-because a man has been guilty
of some glaring breach of the laws of pro-
priety some time in the past But. after
all, what is a mans past, were it ever SO
crooked and bad. II he is at present living
a straightforward. honest life? mans
past is no argument either for or against
his present His past life may be as full OF
mistakes as thistle is Of thorns, yet he
cannot live it over-it Is forever beyond his
reach. He can only profit by the past. and
avoid similar mistakes in the future.
again. though the past record of a mans
life be spotless. if his present is stepped in
dishonesty and crime. of what avail is that
which was? He is as bad as though he had
always been a william, and we are in
clined to have less charity tor him than for
the man whose record has always been
until the present-one of filth and devillsh-
ness. His perfect past cannot save him
from disgrace if he is now an evil doer.-

Habitual Crinninais.,s

The Minneapolis Tribune of the 18th inst,
devotes almost a column of it's editorial
page, under the above caption. to dis
cussion of the habitual criminal bill which
has passed the Senate and is now pending
in the House. The whole article flavors
rather of t., outpourings of some biased
penOlogist, ti.in of an honestly formed opin-
ion of an impartial editor. After tell
ing us that the bill providing for the
punishment of habitual criminals is step
in the right direction, but, that as passed
in the Senate it is rather confused and
unsatisfactory measure, it vouchsafes the
following: 1T seems to have been framed
without a proper consideration of the we'll
established fact that habituaI criminals are
the very ones who do not REFORM" We
admit that the senators did not consider
this we'll established (?) fact; but perhaps
the fact did not appear to them so very we'll
established after all as the Tribune would
have us think it is. The expression can be
considered in but one light: that habitual
criminals should be cast into prison without
the faintest shadow Of hope Of ever OBJ
tanning freedom again 1t substantiates
this inference by line farther on in the
article: They (habitual criminals) are.
as rule. beyond redemption and reform
alton. They have no use for reformatory;
neither can q reformatory be of any benefit
to them. The only rational method of dealing
with such individuals is to shut them up
for life." The Tribune says las rule"
etc. Which consequently admits of an ex-
csption. Those few words show the ineon-
sistsncy OF the TribuDe's vaGary; or, on the
other hand. they show very callOus dispO-
sistion on Its part toward its fellow man

Superintendent P. Caldwell will please
accept our thanks for the twenty-third an
nual report of the Louisville (Ky.) Indus
trial School of Reform. The report is an ar
tistic piece of work and does great credits
to the printing department of the school,
The Superintendent in submitting his re-
port says:
While the year just closed has been
one of anxious sOlicitude, it has also
been one which contained many cheering
features and incidents. He who sOweth
his seed in the spring time of the year, natu
rally looks for the harvest at the waning of
the summer season. but in our work of re-
forming and moulding character, the frui-
ton of our best hopes can only be looked
for after years of patient care and watch
ing. During the past year we have re-
ceived and enjoyed visits from many of our
old boys and girls, who are to-day useful
members of society. and in every way credit
able to themselves, fulfilling their part in
the great drama of human life, who we're
brought to us years ago almost hOpelesSly
dwarfed in their moral character. 1t
is in thus reviewing the struggles of the past,
side by side with the visible and cheering
effects of the present, that 1 find renewed
inspiration to go forward. Success has not
attended all our efforts. Tares have ap-
peared among the wheat. An occasional
extraordinary success or failure must not be
regarded as fair sample of our products,
but rather as those accidental productions
liable to appear in dealing with such varied
classes. The ability and opportunity to do,
added to the principles of living. translated
into action after years of freedom by the
average child. must be the fruit by which
we are to be judged. The boy of grit, Of
tact, of talent. will. under the most adverse
circumstances in this America of ours,
push himself to the front and render good
account of himself. while the boy sluggish
in disposition, low in aims. lover of ease
and self-indulgence. will as easily fall into
noaccount, lazy, Indifferent pauper and
criminal classes. if the helping and awaken
ing and guiding hand is not extended in
the proper time and way to rescue and to
save. The end and aim of our work must
largely be to reach this latter class.

Everybody has heard flee boats, and
many recall the real prairie ships invent,
ell by a Grand Forks man n few years
ago, the latter of which resembled an ice
beat in construction and were used on
snow covered prairies in winter time.
Well, all such contrivances fer loeomo-
ton were completely eclipsed last Sun
day by a prairie ship made BY two sons
of \. d. Ward. whose farm lies a few
miles southeast OF town. Like all great
inventions this was accideatly discev-
erad.
When Prof. Ward, an older son of A.
d. Ward, returned from Yankton he left
his balloon and parachute at his fathers,
and as the balloon and parachute were
damp from rain, left them spread out on
the grass to dry Sunday a high wind
was blowing ali day. and while two OF
his younger brothers were about to take
the parachute under cover the wind in
dated it and came near getting away
from them. Boy like they instantly
conceived n little iun. So bringing out
q two-seated wagon they fastened the
lower end of the parachute to the pole
and while ona gotin the other gently
lifted a portion of the canvas SO the wind
would catch it Ia less time than 1t takes
to tell it the parachute caught the wind
and away went the wagon like a streak.
As % as it attained a speed nearly
equal to the wind II course the para
chute would collapse and fall to the
ground, So in order TO prevent the
wagon from attaining too much speed
they dashed the rear wheels so they
would not turn. This time the wagon
tore through q potato patch, 3 corr
field and brought up badly wrecked in au
oat field a half a mile away, The boy
who took the wild ride WAS glad to set
out, and the cid gentlemen thought an
other experiment of that kind woulG
take the wagon cut OF the country en-
tirely and called n stay of proceedings
Then .he boys fastened the parachute &c
a ton boat out on the edge OF q schoo
session, sud while ono mounted the
stone beat the other lifted the parachute
so the wind would catch it and away
went the stone boat, boy srd parachute
hell to split over tina prairie" as job!
Hay would say. The outfit went full,
two miles before the parachute wa
ready to quit.
If you see the boys coming in to tow
on the wings of a south wind some day
driving q big thing that looks like al
immense white umbrella you need no
think the devil is after you for the fore
going explains the whole business.
