Africa Has Charms.

From the Troy N. W Times.
There must be a powerful fascination
in Africa for men OF spirit. Emin Pasha,
who was escued by Stanley after a most
perilous experience, had to be brought
away almost by force. And now he de-
clares his intention of returning and at
tempting to recapture his lost province in
the Soudan. Livingstone, the missionary
and explorer, buried himself alive i'm the
heart of Africa and could not be induced
TO leave it, and died there while pursuing
his work. Chinese Gordon "held the
fort' at Khartoum, defying the Arab
rebels and refusing TO abandon the place
and seek safety, until he fell a victim to
treachery and overpowering numbers.
And Stanley seems unable to resist the
temptation to take an occasional ''fiyer''
by way of n fresh plunge into the wilder.
ness Of the dark continent, despite its
dangers, including that of massacre at the
hands of the vag Plainly the spirit
of adventure and dauntless bravery is as
prevalent as IL was when the navigators
OF 400 years q went out in search of new
countries.

THE SPOKANE ELECTION.

The good people of Spokane Falls
have just finished a vigorous, and, to
spectators at u distance, a rather anus
ing battle for the mayOralty of that
city. IL seems that the usual political
divisions were ignored, the two tickets
being known respectively as the peo-
pies and the citizens. To an outsider
these terms apper TO be rather synony-
nous, but to the voters of Spokane
Falls they conveyed vital differences of
meeting. Mr.. Curtis, the citizens Fan
didate, had the support of the law and
order league, the prohibitionists and
the socialists; while Mr.. Clough, who
headed the peoples ticket, was heralded
as a man of true American ideas,
whose head was free from all wild, Wis
ionary and dangerous theories. The
discussion of the qualifications of these
two men for the coveted office occa-
stoned, therefore, what might be called
a philosophical campaign. And as
pure philosophy was rather too stupid
an affair for the masses, the leaders en-
deavored to adapt their arguments to
the understanding of the people by the
force of illustration.
Where the fun came in was the eff
forts of the followers of Mr.. Clough to
demonstrate what kind of a mar Mr..
Curtis really was: and with the demon
stration was conveyed the idea that, in
the end. of such is the kingdom of all
who entertain similar views. The re-
lations of Mr.. Curtis to his butcher, his
baker and his ~candlestick maker were
given with circumstantial detail. II is
hardly credible that the citizens can
didate is the minimum of a man that
the Spokane Falls RerieD represented
him TO be. Considerable poetical and
political license seems to have been
taken with him; yet the RerieD in all
seriousness printed such items as
these:
When the flames Of n great fre almost swept
spokane out of existence Mr.. Curtis mills for.
~tunately escaped and while sympathetic neigh,
bors very kindly extended their aid for the dis
tressed ones Mr.. Curtis great generosity tool
advantage of the situation TO advance the pric,
of Hour.
Johnny sengfeidcn, a baker IN this city, tells q
funny story On Curtis, TO the effect that when h,
was living AT restaurants he was In the habit 81
ordering one dish ~ pudding for himself and
wife and dividing the same With her.
A butcher on Second street Says that wh.t
Curtis went East some time ago he left order,
that the meat hill for his wife should not exceed
- cents per day, and that all over that amount
would he repudlated.
A short time after Mr.. Curtis came here hr Wis

tried 10 induce them To join him In sending EaS

the first introduced In Spokane. Curtis inquired
his workmen down TO the cent. This Ii an un-
disputed fact.
Mr.. Olsen, another gentleman. gives evidence
Of his great generosity. Olsen waited on Mr..
Curtis domestic, who is now his wife. III course,
as In other cases, the regular amount OF spark
ing figured. At the end Of the month, wieii
Mrs. Olsen's wages were paid her by Curtis, he
very generously deducted ~ for Kerosene oil con
sumed for sparkling purpovs.
After reading a column or two Of
such anecdotes, the reader Is forced To
one of two conclusions; either Mr.,
Curtis Is not the most liberal-minded
man in the world, or the valued Rerien
is possessed OF a campaign liar who is
nothing short of a genius. Whichever
conclusion be correct, this style of cam
paign proved highly successful, Mr.
Curtis on Tuesday being buried out OF
sight.

Do CRIMINALS REFORM

Several men, who, from the exper-
fence they have have had in studying
criminal character, may be termed ex.
perts, have been holding a symposium
on the question! whether or no profess
sional criminals ever do reform. These
men differ, and differ widely. 4 ma
iority believe that complete reforma-
ton sometimes does take place-not
often: a minority declares that the pro-
fessional criminal never reforms, and
that common justice requires that he
he locked up for life. so that crime
may be reduced, the police rendered
more ~effectual, and society protected.
James w. Ridgway, district attorney
in Brooklyn, says he knows of several
criminals who have Strengthened up
and are now engaged in legitimate
business. The reformation of mel
who have become habitual criminals is
almost too hopeless a task TO view ser
iously. But good work may be done
by the authorities in stopping the sup
ply. and this is a matter where a grea'
knowledge of human nature is neces
sary to form right judgments. Judges
he says. cannot be too careful i'm deal
ing with first offenders. sydney lieit
holds that the professional criminal Il
a lunatic with two decisions first, tina
il is right for him 10 take the propert!

The university students of Russia
have something more to think about
than sculling and base ball. IL the re-
ports be true, they are spending their
surplus energies i'm conspiring against
the state; and as the state is a pretty
rotten affair they consider their action
highly commendable. The importation
of the American system of hazing and
its successful application by the stu
dents of II. Petersburg to some of the
chief functionaries of the Russian gov
eminent would meet with the hearth
est appreciation of all spirited colleg-
ians. IL would be a difficult matter to
accomplish. but If one OF two of the
leading authorities should be caught,
bound, driven off into the country in a
hack. held under a pump with a large
nozzle. and finally left all night i'm n
corniield. the act would not receive the
stern censure which similar deeds usu.
ally provoke i'm this country where the
victims are only fellow students or
members of the faculty.

II is said that the recent visit of the
trince of Wales to Berlin had
something to do with the Queens de,
termination to give him a show. After
fifty-three years of service 1t would

Mr.. Corbett announces that he is
'willing TO meet sullivan in any bust

be willing to meet sullivan under the
same conditions. A meeting with the

by long odds the easiest way of meet
ing him-providing sullivan would re
frain from proceeding to business on

of other men: second, that he car thus
become rich and live in peace and hap
piness. To such social beasts of prey,
Mr.. Reid says, II is idle to sermonize.
The only protection against them Is a
cage, and society has a right to de-
mand that they be Gagged.
Patrick Campbell, chief of police OF
Brooklyn, declares that 81 must say
that l cannot at this time recall any
criminals who have reformed. While
In prison many of them profess to have
reformed, and they probably believe
they will perform what they promise.
But when they get out in the world
they find II very hard to keep their
good resolutions" Inspector Byrnes
of New York is still more emphatic.
II do not know of a single case of gem
uine reformation among professional
criminals" he says. pretended ire
forms may frequently be observed, but
should the p%enitent get a chance to
steal anything worth taking, the temp
tation is too much for him. have in
my mind now five or six eases of men
who had been professional criminals,
who tried TO convey the impression to
me that they had undergone a change
of heart, and would i'm the future live
honest lives. These fellows set up bus
mess with money they had stolen, but
their business vas only a blind. They
were still as crooked as ever, not taking
part i'm robberies themselves. but plan
ming them and getting other thieves to
execute their plans, and give them a
percentage of the proceeds. Thus they
escape the risk of Jail, but they are
more wicked and dangerous than the
ordinary thief"
Ex-W Warden Green is of the same
opinion. With one exception he does
not know a single professional crimi-
nal whose reformation lasted much be-
yond the outer gates of the prison.
1.-The time to reform criminals is at the
beginning of their career. IL a boy
who stole and fell into the hands of the
police for the first time was sent to
prison for a year and worked very hard
for six weeks, then released, with the
remainder of his term hanging over
him, to be added to any future sentence
he might get If he did not keep straight,
| think il would brighten him and do
some good; but usually young crimi-
mails are treated with such great tender
nerness that they grow to ridicule
prisons. As they advance in crime they
become prison-proud. They boast of
having done time in this and that state,
just as men boast of having been all
over the world. | would be severe on
young criminals and try to brighten
them into behaving themselves, and
failing in that. | would shut them up
for life"
The drift of all these opinions, and
of Others not quoted here, is very
gloomy. They e to argue that
prison reform associations are utterly
useless and might as well shut up shop
and go out of business. Yet even
granting that all criminals o or
later go back to their old life, it cannot
be denied that these associations fire.
quently work temporary reformatiOns,
thereby reducing the amount of crime
committed. The theory of life i'm,
prisonment for hardened criminals is
finding many advocates, and has practi,
cally gone into effect in Illinois, by the
recent statutes of which state cumula,
tive sentences are authorized.
