of the present officers will secede from the
circle and start rebellion or 90 into melan-
choly retirement if deposed from Office.
But, dear fellow scoffers of hash, your Off
GERS have neither been as industrious nor as
idle as they might have been. They have
other reasons for not bringing the members
of the circle together again than because
they could not secure the required permits
sion. 1t was thought advisable after the
books were given out to give you time to
learn something of the nature of the work
you are expected to do and to settle in your
minds whether or not you desired to con-
tinue the course. 1t is now thought that those
who are still interested in the undertaking
will remain active members through the
whole course of studies; and so, from this
time on everything possible will be done to
encourage the work and make it interesting.
Arrangements will be made for meetings at
regular periods for examinations and the
interchange of ideas. Chaplain Albert,
who is somewhat familiar with the Chau-
tauqua scheme. has agreed to meet with us
and aid us into systematic course of work.
If we show proper spirit in the work and
let it be seen by our conduct that we
appreciate the privileges granted us,
there is not doubt but what the prison
management will do all that can be done to
help the cause along.

he is going to one of the finest old cities in
Europe blessed with the most delicious
climate on earth. The Saltwater Gazette
says of the city: malaga is the capitol of
Spain on the Mediterranean. being beauti-
fully situated at the foot of a lofty mount
ain range, whose highest peak is crowned
with the Moorish castle GibralfarO. It is
an old city, founded by the Carthegians,
having lived through long periods of Roman
and Moorish dominion. 1t is chiefly noted
as city of commerce. Its educational in
situations, museums, and scientific collec-
tons are good and its inhabitants reputed
for their elegance and civility. The popu-
latiOn is about lis, 0OO." What fine field
for the Major to indulge his love of the

the pleasure and good fortune in his new
station that ever fell to the lot of man, but
hopes that he will soon return to shed SUM-
shine on the land that knows him best.

Can it really be that our politicians are so
INSCRIPTIONS as the newspapers make them
appear to those outside of political circles?
There is no limit to the imputations and
counter imputations of gross corruption
which the organs of the two dominant po-
litical parties are forever hurting at each
other. The most exalted position in the
nation does not give its incumbent immu-
nifty from charges of venality. He is openly
accused of being hand and glove with
wOuld-be plunderers of the nation. Every
day we see governors of states charged with
acts which if true would mark them as ene-
mics of the law and corrupters of the peO-
pie. It is said that no amount of eminent
service to his country can win for a poor
man seat in the United States Senate un-
less he consents to become an obedlent tool
in the hands of intriguing capitalists. And
if such is the case. what storm of trouble
is brewing for the people of few decades
hence. Does not this continual harping by
the press upon the evil doings of public men
have tendency to educate and encourage
aspiring young men to follow in the foot
steps by which it is made to appear those
men reached their eminent stations, is a
question that would puzzle the doctors of
moral philosophy to answer correctly.

But as was expected at the start there are,

They all admit that they would be greatly
benefited by taking the course, but say
they cannot apply their minds to study.
However, they will not be greatly missed.

places. Some of the members are inclined
to criticise the officers of the circle for not

Says the Minneapolis Spectator: 'Start-
ling statements which have found credence
in some quarters have recently been made
to the effect that increase of crime had &C.
companied educational advancement, and
that the fault lay in the educational system.
This imputation is resented in the current
number of the Popular Science Monthly, by
a writer who finds other causes than ignor-
ance for the increase of the prison popula-
ton in certain parts of the country. Among
the causes he includes the transition from
an unsettled condition to a settled condi-
ton on our constantly advancing frontier;
the change from slavery in the South; the
gradual elevation of the standard of human
conduct. AS he says, the rapid increase
in the proportion of criminals, as the state
grows older. does not mean more crime; it
often means less. The evil-doers are ar
rested and sentenced, and so get into our
prisons and our census; and then we are
told that crime is increasing"

WAKE UP.

Whatever disposition man exhibited in
the outside world will make itself apparent
in prison. This is noticeable to a marked
degree among the inmates of this institu-
ton. There are those who had been shift
less wanderers and had never accomplished
any good for themselves while free. They
show the same ne'erdO-well disposition here
in prison. They do no more work than they
are compelled to either for their own good
or the good of their employers. They
tidy condition. but allow everything to lay
around hap-hazard; the dust and bread
crumbs are never brushed off their stands;
old soiled newspapers and other useless
trash are allowed to accumulate in heaps
until their cells look more like old junk
shops than human habitatiOns. The Occu-
pants of these unsightly cells can rarely be
found engaged in any more useful occupa-
ton than reading some worthless novel or
lying in their hunks snoozing. Of course
there are exceptions; there are untidy men
who are not novel fends and that are very
industrious, and then again there are good
housekeepers who are inveterate devourers
of trashy fiction. But observe the man who
has led an active business life outside and,
no difference what line of business, legiti-
mate or crooked, you will find him working
for his employers just as earnestly and
faithfully as if he were being paid for his
labor. He is unconsciOusly exhibiting the
disposition which he cultivated when free.
Go to his cell and you will find it clean and
as tidy as he can make it; and you will, as
general thing, find him employing his
spare moments in an advantageous manner.
usually in the study of some useful branch
of knowledge. The man who pursues this
latter course will take more out of the
prison than he brought in and will not look
back to the years spent in confinement as so
will have taught him some valuable lessons
that he would never have learned as free
man; and he will have learned also that
valuable lesson which teaches us that mis-
compensated in some way. But the class
of men first mentioned can find no compen
sation for time lost and pain suffered by
their imprisonment; for they avoided. while
in prison, the duties which they owed to
themselves just as the suicide avoids the
responsibilities of life. They reaped no
benefit from their experience, but on the
contrary, allowed their whole man.
hood to deteriorate, and left the prison less
capable of succeeding in chosen course
than when they entered. The sooner a
man realizes the fact that when he
is not working to improve himself he is de-
teriorating the better it will be for any
hopes he may have of finally making sue
cess of life.
