the announcement program, and we see
that many prominent men of the coun-
try are to speak. For the information
of those who are not familiar with the laud-
able nature of the organization we copy the
following:
The National Prison Association was organized
at Cincinnati, in 1870, and is incorporated under
the laws of the state of New York. Its first presi.
dent the distinguished Horatio Seymour,
who held the position until his death. The present
president is Gen. Rutherford B. Hayes. 1t is
absolutely free from any political or sectarian
bias. 1t includes most of the leading prison Of
fcials in the United States and Canada. and a
large number of students of criminal law and of
the prison question, who have no direct connec-
ton with penal and reformatory institutions, be-
sides others who merely contribute to the support
of a movement believed by them to be in the in
terest of good government and the uplifting of
humanity. Its aim is to secure the amendment of
the criminal code, better administration of
prisons and reformatories the introduction into
them of a reformatory discipline. and the pre-
venton and repression Of crime by all practical
methods but especially by the reformation of the
prisoner. For the accomplishment of these
purposes, it relies the education of public
opinion by means of annual convention and
the publication of the proceedings. It employs
no salaried officer
The annual membership fee is five dol
lars. All the money received from men,
bers is devoted directly to the prosecution
of the work of the association. none of it be-
ing spent for salaries. IF you approve of this
work. saws the announcement land are

Devils MAY Blush.

The barkentine Catha1ine Sudden ar
rived at Port TOwsend from Siberia Sept.
5, and her commander, Capt. John Thomas,
sent to San Francisco description of the
Russian exile system as witnessed by him.
He describes the brutal scene which he wit
messed on Laghalien island. famous Rus
sian exile prison. A large party of exiles
of all ages. heavily manacled. were being
taken to the island. A few old men. whose
strength gave out fell from exhaustion.
The brutal driver, acting under the orders
from his superior. shot the unfortunate men
and removed their chains. No mercy or
discrimination was shown. Wives saw their
husbands killed before their eyes; mothers
saw their daughters outraged and insulted.
The eXiles were driven like cattle, heavy
whip being used to urge them on. The
prison cells were filthy and the treatment
barbarOus.

TO THE PUBLIC.

THE PRISON MIRROR is weekly paper pub
lished in the Minnesota state prison. ALI matter
published in its columns is contributed by the
inmates. except that properly credited. Its sup
port must come from the outside as every inmate
is given paper without cost. 1t is published in
the interest Of the prison library and after paying
for the printing outfit, contributed $3.50 to the
library fund the first year. Its objects are to en-
courage individual intellectual effort, provide a
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other
prisons. and. above all, to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
it's inner life and thus aid the cause of moral ad-
vsncement and prison reform.

clared imperative on account of some tech
ncal error. This act was passed in 1886.
Now we are happy to statelthat in the last
legislature the act was amended and re
enacted and was approved by Governor
Nichols July 10, 1890. And here we quote
a portion of the new law that must be es
pecially gratifying to the cOnvicts who
have built up good records: 'All convcts
who have complied with the requirements
of act 70 of 1886 shall get credit for same
and be entitled to. the benefits of this act
from the time of their Incarceration" The
good time allowed is. two months for the
first year; two months for the second year;
three months each for the third and fourth
years; and four months for each subsequent
year. A provision has also been made for
life prisoners whereby they may be released
after serving fifteen years. The new law
is practically parole law, for if the person
released is convicted of felony or mis-
demeanOr between the date of his release
and the date of the expiration of his full
and made to serve the remainder of the
time which he would have been compelled
to serve but for the Communication of his SEN
tence. This law applies to all the parish
prisons as we'll as to the state prison.
Louisiana is beginning to take an interest
in the condition of her convict population.
An attempt was also made in this years
legislature to abolish the lease system, but
failed. and if we have been rightly informed
it is just as we'll that it did fail on this &C.
casiOn. Our informant who is himself an
inmate of the Louisiana prison and a man
of shrewd insight, says that the proposed
change from the present system to the state
account system was greatly dreaded by the
prisoners. as under the circumstances it
would have been equivalent to dumping
them out of the frying pan into the fire.

A DetectiVes,s Story.

The following is from the pen of Mr.. o.
the Boston branch of the Pinkerton detect
i've agency:
For the reformation of a man who is
called habitual criminal it is first necessary
that you get his confidence. He must know
you as friend who can be trusted i'm
plicitly and who will judge him generously.
This confidence may be very difficult to in
spire. but it is necessary. 1t can only be
gained slowly at best, and one must show

things. little actions. to gain it at all.

book is Charles LIE Furst," and the author
is Charles LIE Furst alias G. M. Morton,
alias The Prison Humorist. Now the "cat"
must send fifty cents to G. M. Morton, Box
l, Saltwater, Minnesota, and he will send
you the book. We have read every line in
the book. studied all the engravings, and we
must say that it is the only book of humor
we have ever read from cover to cover with

The author of this book has won a repu-
tation as a writer while here in prison that
many person of literary ambitions in the
free world would be proud to claim as his
own. He has earned by his pen within the
past year the money out of which he has
paid for the engravings and the printing of
his book. His study has been narrow
prison cell. his inspiration desire to turn
the spare moments of long years of confine-
ment to the worthy object of self improve
ment and self advancement-or in other
words, self preservation. He is painstak-
ing and correct writer and allows nothing
to pass from his hand until satisfied that his
ability could not better it. THE MIRROR
wishes him the abundant success with his
book that it deserves.
