to be the open avenue to vice and under
handedness by many ''cute" and totally un-
principled detectives and others of their ilk,
who are ever on the alert for just such Op-
pOrtunities. 1t is fact we'll known, that
where there is one man to chase fOrger,
thief, or murderer. there are dozens on the
track OF horse thief. And it is further
fact well known and subStantiated that these
horse thief bounty hunters did and do not
always hesitate to 60 beyond the legitimate
to secure the coveted reward. Innocent
''yOkelS" have been known time and again
to be made the cat's-paw of these un-
scrupulous detectives. TO send a man to
the penitentiary once. twice, and often
three times in succession, was something in
the natural order of events to the desired
end of these human dastards that didn't
give them the slightest twinge of con-
science. So far as bonafide horse steallngs
are concerned. there are now no more than
of any other crime, comparatively speaking.
and in order to remedy the several con-
sequential vices which this bounty provi-
sion entails upon itself, it certainly be-
ho0ves our legislators to do away with it.
There is crime enough in the country, the
Lord knows, without having people to set
premium on it. And whenever the time
comes that detectives, or other servants of
the public. are averse to fulfilling the duties
of their offices on the salary liberal public
allows them. we ought to shut up shop

A Premium on Crime.

However good may be the motives that
prompt the enacting of laws. it must be
conceded that there are always limited
number, which are. later on, after time of
practical enforcement, found to be far from
good and morally correct laws. In this
category may be classed the one in this
state making provision for bounty on
horse thieves. This provision looks per-
fectly reasonable at the first glance-and is
all the more eXcusable when we take into
consideration the abundance of that par
ticular class of criminals in existence at the
time the law was framed-but now. after
mature reflection, nd.ample time of prac
tical test. we are brought to see that the
law does not meet the requirements of a
conscientious, order loving public, but
rather sets premium on rascality-which
latter not infrequently has been proven to
be the cause direct, or indirect, of no small
amount of innocent suffering. This bounty,
meant for the protection of the community.

itself, be sufficient to keep us from neglect
ing our duties and responsibilities as par
entS, citizens, and members of the great

barrier against temptation to eXcesSes of all
kinds-and close our ears to all suggestions
by which avarice, envy or pride might
prompt us. to gain temporary or supposed
advantage for ourselves by injuring or de-
ceiving our fellows.
Many of us are or have been affiliated
with some such secret society. Though
we are not now in active associa
ton with those organizations. we can still
put in practice the principles inculcated by
them in our relations with our fellow pris-
OnerS. BY SO doing. we shall not only be
the means of securing to ourselves and our
fellow sufferers never failing source of
happiness and consolation, but we shall be
better prepared to battle with the difficulties
which await us in the outside world when
our time of liberation shall come; we shall
be divested of that bitterness of spirit and
hostility which has proved a stumbling
block to so many of our number; and we
shall be enabled to re enter those social Or
CARNATIONS which once knew and welcomed
us, with enlarged ideas of our own capacity
for usefulness, with expanded sympathy
for the sick. sorrow stricken or errng mem

earnest determination that the community,

sorrow and suffering through which we

A Scribe in Prison.

The OskalOosa, Iowa, Globes scribe Wis.,
tied the state prison at AnamOsa, Iowa, and
this is what he has to say:
AS the big massive iron door closed upon
us. our thoughts could be naught else than
gloomy. The first thing that impressed us
was the exact neatn esS of all our surround
ings. Everything had its place and was in
its place. System and order are the ruling
ideas. We first visited the cell wards,
where each cell would be an example for
many hOuSekeeperS, both as to neatnesS
and order.
All of the buildings are supplied with
electric light and steam heat, giving the
cOnvicts every comfort of life but that
prime requisite of liberty. We were per-
mitted to look into the cells of several of
the life cOnvicts. and hard it was for us to
restrain our sympathy, upon looking at two
small boys, one of twelve and the other of
fourteen years of age-both of them i'm
prisoned for life. the youngest one for kill
ing his father and mother but few months
ago. Both of the boys smiled intelligently
upon us as we passed by. From the cell
wards we went into the dining apartments.
The rooms were large. we'll lighted and
ventilated, looking more like the dining
room of a boarding school than of prison.
Fastening on our journey we came to the
insane department.. and found the inmates
out for their daily walk in the fresh air of
the ward court. Some would smile as we
passed, others would frown, jabber away
like all possessed, while still others would
not even look up. Here it was in this ward
that we first began to notice the great sym.
pathy and kindness of Warden Barr, as
shown toward all alike. Some who would
not smile at us would look gratifed and
pleased upon seeing Warden Barr with us,
he having a cheering word for all. We
then passed into the hospital by way of the
dispensary-where each cot with it's suffer-
ing patient was as comfortable and we'll
cared for as could be. Nothing is lacking
here to alleviate pain and suffering. Warden
Barr is paying especial attention to the
supervision of these poor ones. The wOm-
ans ward for female cOnvicts was another
feature of interest. Here we found seven
white woman and one cOlOred woman as
comfortably located as though boarding out
for the summer.
must hasten and close with scene in
the prison Sunday School, where there
were gathered about half the convicts. who
had voluntarily gathered to worship. though
looked down upon and desplsed by the
outer world, while in reality. many of them
had a warmer. kinder. truer heart beating
within their breasts than many OF the un-
imprisoned raScals who go about in free
life. If all would show as just a sympa-
thizing feeling, as do the keepers of these
poor convicts. life would be more real, the
fallen would raise up and support them
selves. instead of being showed further
down.

The following is the report by ''INNIs-
FALLEN" of division A of the prison Chau,

nightly meeting of the members held in the
chapel attached to this institution, on Sum
day afternoon August "a. 1890:
have been asked how it is that there
are so many infidelS in the world to-day.
My reply is of a twOfOld character: In the
first place, the cause Is largely due to the
Indifference and forgetfulness OF Christians
themselves to live up to the dictates of true
Christianity. The way to make atheists is
to tell men that private judgment is the
ultimate principle of Sectaranism, and that
every man must form his own opinion of
the Bible. If man has been taught
theory of the Trinity which implies the eX
istence of three Gods he will find that pri-
vate judgment will not help him any.
Men have made hedges in the heritage of
God and have cast out tradition only to
place their own views in it's stead. And
secondly. because pride has so dwarfed the
intellect of the literary world to day that
the reason why self -cOnceited men are so
madly opposed to Christianity is, not be-
cause it favOrs lmmOraltieS or arrests civ
ilization, but whether admitted or not,
because the religion of Christ pays no re-
spect to their intellectual vanities. AS DR..
Talmage says: "Blount and Boyle and the
host of infidels hatched out by the vile reign
of Charles the II. as reptiles crawl out of
marsh of slime, could not keep their pa
tience because as they passed along there
were sitting in the gate of the church such
men as Matthew and Mark and Luke and
John who would not bend an inch in re-
spect to their philosophers" Satan told
our first parents that they would become as
gods if they would only reach up and take
taste of the fruit. They tried it and
failed, but their descendants are not yet
satisfied with the experiment. We have
now many IngersOlls desiring to be as gods
reaching up after yet another apple. HUI
man reason scornful of Gods word may
foam and strut with proud wrath. and at
tempt to compel the homage of the good.
but in the presence of men and angels it
shall be cOnfOunded. When science began
to make it's brilliant discoveries there were
great facts brought to light that seemed to
overthrow the truth of the Bible. The en-
emies of Christianity gathered new courage
at what they considered past victories and
pressed Oh their conquests into the kingdom
