doubtless grew out of the fact that this

posted IN only two vaults. The vaults
are bricked up six inches above the

occurred to the casual observer that the
remains were lowered into an OLD grave.
MT. Hall said two persons had been

Representative ImaSinatiOns.

The true office of the Imagination is to
ennOble and enlighten life not to darken
and burden it. One of the ways in which
the imagination Expresses the lives of some
people is in the shape of fancied wrongs.
1t is surprising what unusual size
a trivial incident will assume I'M
der the lens of a distorted mag
inatiOn. An unintentional slight is magni-
fed into gross insult. The most innocent
persons are laden with the imputed guilt
which the imagination has created. Sus-
piciOn is the ferret of such an active and
misguided imagination. 1t finds offenses
because it is always looking for them. Few
persons can make themselves more miser-
BILE than those who habitually, if uncOnsci-
ously. are suspecting the worst motives be-
hind the most trivial acts. We once knew
an army officer who never could see any
persons laughing together at little dis
lance from him without suspecting that he
was the object of ridicule. A hyper-s ensi-
tive imagination pictured wrongs which had
never been committed. Perhaps as much
evil has been done in the world through the
medium of fancied wrongs as has been done
through real nes.-The Christian Register.

had issues unforeseen. Many of the prison

Schools and Prisons.

In every American community the pris
ons and the schools are subjects of the first
interest, because of the conviction that the
more com rehensive and efficient the school
system, the less burdensOme will be the
prisons. We have already remarked that
Mr.. Draper. the Superintendent of public
instruction. N. Y. and slngularly intelli-
gent officer. tells us that in this state. while
the schools during the last year cost SIG,
600, 600, the percentage of attendance was
smaller than in any preceding year. He is
followed by Mr.. LathrOp, the Superintend-
ent Of Prisons, who says that the year
shows deplOrable disntegration of prison
industries, moral deterioration among the
prisoners. with an unprecedented rate of
death and insanity, and greater financial
deficit than for thirteen years. He is en-
tirely justified in saying that it is perhaps
the most unsatisfactory and most unfOrtu
nate year that has been experienced in our
state. certainly for long term of years.
The two reports together present a very
dsagreeable picture of the present condi
ton of these two most important systems.
recommends strict and efficient compulsory
law. 1t is simple and obvious remedy.
A state which spends sixteen millions of
dollars year upon free schools should take
care, in justice to the people who pay that
enormous tax, that the money is spent to
the utmost advantage. Lieutenant Gov
ernOr Jones is reported to object to the bal
lot law that it DISTINGUISHES the ignorant
voter. But with adequate free schools
maintained by the state. why should a
voter plead that lie cannot read? Whose fault
is it? And why should the fault be pleaded
as an argument against most desirable
law? Why should we all be exposed to the
consequences of political corruption because
somebody has been too lazy or too careless
to learn to read? The law as proposed
makes provision for aiding such voter at
the polls, but without weakening the law.
To weaken the law to aid him would be a
gross public wrong. Having provided the
opportunity of education for every citizen of
New York, let New York now take care
that the opportunity is not neglected but
improved. Those who refuse to avail them
selves of the provision should pay the pen
atty. Certainly the law should not be
weakened to conform to their neglect. The
wretched condition of the prisons is due to
politics: that is, to the futile attempt to con-
duct the prisons not upon wise and ap-
proved principles of effective management
of penal industries but at the will of dem
agOgues to win votes at the polls. The
contract system was abolished because it

lemoralized the prisoners. 1t was cor
'lenlned by the most careful and expert
emced observers, who held that the prisons
were not to be managed solely with the
purpose of making them seif-supporting
but that the character and reformation of
the prisoners must be chiefly regarded.
The law of 1888. which practically sus-
pended PRISON labor SO that it might not
compete with outside labor. soon brought
the prisons into an absolutely ntOerable
condition. and showed the logical result of
management which was based upon extrin-
considerations. The law which was re-
sponsible for this outrage. both upon the pris-
Oners and upon the people at large, was SUI
perseded by the act of last year. which aims
to employ the prisoners. with carefully ad
justed regard to competition with outside
labor and to the self-support of the pris-
ons. The results of this law, which are
only now appearing. the superintendent
finds to be encouraging, and it is very inn
probable that the demagOgueS will soon
deal another blow at the prisons SO disas-
trouS as the law of 1888. But it will be
long before the state RECEIVERS from the ef-
fects of that outrageous legislation. -Har-

Friendship.

There is no bravery like that involved in
the forgiveness of injuries, or mounting
bucking horse. 1t is a noble thing to for
give your enemies-especially those you
can't lick.
The man who forgives has won two vic
tories-One over himself and one over the
person who has injured him. At the same
time there IS no occasion to OverdO it in for
giving injuries. Do not be as humble and
fOrgiving as the laundryman. who will do
more for you the more cuffs you give him.
Never harbOr animosity against friend
for mere hasty expression. just speak
up, then and there. and let him know that
you think he is an unmitlgated ass. and let
that be the end of it. Don't cherish hard
feelings.
A man of the meanest capacity makes
himself more than the peer of the man of
the lOftiest intellect. if he fOrgives him. For
give your enemy. but do not buy his little
boy drum. DON'T as we said before, go
to extremes in magnanimity.- in Texas
