THE COMMON LOT.

Two or three men who were discharged
from this institution within the past year,
are now in jail awaiting trial, and as their
guilt is pretty clear and their records
known. the probabilities are strong that
they will be with us again shortly to serve
the state for another few years. We know
nothing of what press of circumstances may
have lead them into crime again. but it is
more than likely that they went into it of
their own free will. Had they, the day
they changed their prison garb for the dress
of free men, imagined that they would so
soon again be overtaken and forced to re-
sumo those cast off prison suits, nothing short
of the direst necessity would lave induced
them to break the laws again. They would
rather have accepted the most mental of
honest work whereby to earn the scantiest
of livings. Notwithstanding the inflated
stories of the late memorable political cam
paign as to the desirableness of this institu-
ton as pleasure resort, we know there is
not a man in it but would leave on the
slightest intimation that his presence was
not desired. Nor have we ever heard of
any one, having once been here making
any very earnest efforts to persuade the
authorities to return him. All want out and
to stay out. but not all want to conform to
the laws of the outside world. They want
others to conform strictly to the law and
make money and create good things for
them to steal and it's here the rub comes:
the creators of good things will not passivey
consent, but catch the thief and lock him
up. And that is what the outsiders are 60
ing to do with our late friends. If we wish
other peoples pockets

Men who are over particular in the choice
of employment lay themselves open, nova
days. to the charge of insncerity. The
young man who fears to waste his talents
in this or that prOsaic occupation seems to
wish to pose as genius. The popular fall
lacy among this species is that they have
only to bide their time when they can step
leisurely into some niche already carved out
for them in the temple of fame and bid the
world pause and admire. TO erring hu-
manty of this class recent writer remarks
that men of real genius have never raved
about anything of the kind. They were
hard workers. not idle dreamers They
knew that whatever talent they possessed
would achieve no success for them unless
they devoted their whole energies to any
task which they entered upon.-The Elmira
Summary.

they have been abandoned to their fate by
mon interests should make their deepest
sympathizers and most ready helpers. OF
course there are cases where some old fell
lOw-t traveller on the crooked road" comes
are rare indeed. We once knew a man who
served out a fifteen years. sentence for
large robbery. He had been what is known
as smart crook. and was very popular with
the men of his profession of that day as a
good fellow. He told us that during the
first year of his Imprisonment he received a
number of letters from old associates prom
sing assistance. but none came. During
the second year only two or three letters
were received, and from that on to the end
of his time not one of his old comrades ever
wrote to him. When his sentence was
about half served two hundred dollars
would have enabled him to secure pardon,
so he wrote to persons upon whom he had
lavished thousands of dollars, requesting a
loan of the money. but they did not so
much as answer his letters, and he served
every day of his sentence. His was the
common experience. The people who do
most for us in our trouble are as general
thing those upon whose friendship we have
fewest claims. The lesson we should learn
from this is. thai criminal life is a life of
selfishness. and. when persisted in. robs us
of those traits which we most admire in
others and gives to us those traits of char
acter which when possessed by others make
them low and mean i'm our sight.

THE LESSON WE MUST LEARN.

Who are our friends now that we are in
prison? Our mothers first and always, our
sisters next; then comes fathers, brothers,
cousins. uncles and aunts. But they are
our natural friends bound to us by ties of
blood. Yet even they. all of them, desert
us occasionally to fight out our battles
alone. In asking the question of "Who
are our friends?" we mean of those whom
we were wont to call friends when we were
free-the boon companions with whom we
used to spend the fruits of onr honest or
dishonest labors. Alas. we hardly know
OF one OF them that we can now honestly
call friend. friend that would sacrifice his
own convenience to help US in our helpless
ness. 1t is fact well understood by the
greater number of men who have been in
prison any considerable length of time, that

his state and the men who have been put
under his care. There are about 726 men in

of the nature of the work being done there
by the following brief summary of the
weekly routine of work: "A Sunday

held each Sabbath. Attendance at the
Sunday school is voluntary and num-

required to attend the chapel service.

some 500 of the inmates are present. Four
evenings the secular school is held, and one
evening the singing school,"

Conscience Must be Reached.

Any scientific opinion as to the treat
ment which should be given to a criminal
must be based upon accurate knowledge of
the physical mental and moral condition
OF the individual whom it is proposed to
benefit. A correct diagnosis is as neces-
sary in moral as it is in medical therapeutics.
The mistakes which are made in prison
discipline arise principally from the igno-
rance of the criminal character and habits

THE MODERN "INQUISITION, -.

If the stories lately emanating from the
penitentary of Colorado are half true
they would create sensation in Russia,
that country notorious for its prison bar
barities. THE MIRROR has in it's posses
sion accounts of the brutal treatment of
convicts in this country that are too dis
gustingly horrible to put in print We
publish the following description of inhu-
man cruelties practiced in the Colorado
prison as given in the Denver News of a
recent date. We do not vOuch for the
truth of the statements as concerns the Col
oradO prison, but it is we'll known that such
things and worse are done in number of
prisons in the United States. 1t is to be
supposed that the convict has been guilty
of some breach of discipline, for the &C.

After supper the unhappy victim is led forth
from his cell to the vicinity of the stable and
PEELED to stand with his back to post erected for
such occasions. Two officers generally ordered
to tie the prisoners hands behind his back
strap is then drawn around him, flashing his
body to the post An officer attired in waterproof
clothes. now steps behind the post and holds the
prisoners ears, while another stands off about six
feet and throws a stream of water in the prisoners
face. There is generally 6Opound pressure on
the pump, and the water is thrown with so much
force that it tears the flesh from the prisoners
face. The force Of the water compels the prisoner
to open his mouth, and the stream is thrown down
his throat until he is almost strangled. He is
then granted respite till he has thrown up the
water he swallowed and regained his breath

is what is known as the urgingup machine. 1t
consists of a pair of handouts and rope. The
prisoner is taken to the warehouse and obliged
to ascend platform that is situated in one corner
Of it. Before adjusting the handouts the ropes
are twisted so that when the offender is swung
from the platform he is whirled in the air at the
rate of 100 revolutions minute. He is wound off
the platform by means of windlass. When the
whrling motion has ceased the officers pro-
pound all kinds OF haunting questions to their
victim, and if he shows more fortltude than they
like to see in an unfortunate man, of them
will jump up and swing himself from the prisoners
shoulders in order to increase the pain. The
