AN ECHO FROM CHAUTAUQUA.

The Chautauqua Assembly Herald,
daily paper published at Chautauqua, N.
Y, during the Summer Assembly of the c.
L. S. c., has the following to say of Bishop
Vincent's visit to this state and this prison.
But before coming to the 'fOllowing' we
would respectfully advise the editor of the
Herald to take course in G. l.. S. G.
geography class. He had the Minnesota
state prison and the Waseca Assembly
grounds located in Michigan. However, he
cannot be expected to spend much time
searching through Biographies when there
is so much c. l.. S. c. fun inviting him out
side the editorial room:
Bishop Vincent has visited Waseca AS
sembly since he left Chautauqua, and thence
he went to Saltwater Mimi, where he was
met at the depot by the warden of the state
prison, who escorted him into the chapel of
the institution, where three hundred pris-
OnerS were assembled. A choir stationed
on the platform conducted the singing.
The paper we have seen reports many Wis
itors present, and ChautauQua Literary
and Scientific Circle of thirty prisoners on
the front seats. The Bishop could not get
prison. TO this congregation he spoke of
the Chautauqua readings. and of the people
in prison and out of prison who are reading
this course of study. The prisoners laughed,
cried and applauded, his speech. At the
close, the chaplain read complimentary
address to the Bishop and then a prisoner
presented him with a copy of the address
engrOssed and framed. together with large
velvet sofa pillow, with beautifully en-
brOidered name, gift from the G. L. S. G.
The speaker said: You will notice that the
word members has its letters in stripes.
The Bishops reply was appreciative. He
thanked the men, and said. Il will send
the pillow and address directly to Chautau-
qua" They took his address and sent the
articles by express. They were received
here last evening and should be placed in the
c. L.. S. G. rooms as tokens of the esteem
in which our brothers in prison hold the
Chancellor of ChautauQua. How suggest
i've this incident will be to people in this
grove. and to Chautauquans everywhere. of
the fact that the Chautauqua idea has pen
etrated human minds in every condition
of life and that our Chancellor is at Chau-
tauqua. Though not at this gathering by
the lake. he is with some other divis-
ion of the Chautauqua host. on land that
stretches toward the Pacific sea. The
Chancellor. if he would visit Chautauqua
to day, must go into every state and territory
in the Union and visit many lands beyond
the seas.

There is many man in prison to-day
who is no more responsible for his being
there, than George Gould is for being heir
to millions. or the Prince of Wales is for
being heir to the throne of Great Britain.
The man in prison is just as much Great
ure of circumstances as are George Gould
and the Prince of Wales. The time is COM
ing when the world will be so enlightened
that all men will see as do now the greatest
thinkers of the day, that the criminal is
more to be pited than blamed--we do not
mean that kind of pity called ''maudlin
sympathy''-but that pity which true men
and women feel for the victims of adver-
sity, and that leads them to apply such
practical remedies as circumstances seem to
demand. When that day comes there will
be no longer seen within the prison walls
"a spectacle so common at this day-men
of low origin and intellect serving ten year
sentences for lighter otfenses than those for
which their fellow prisoners of higher
social status and brighter intellects are
serving one or two years.

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly paper pub
lished in the Minnesota state prison. All 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 of moral ad-
vsncement and prison reform.

How many men live with no conception

How many men live with no conception
of life's real meaning and whose ideal is
merely to exist? The manly man is he
who is governed by some high aim. and
lives to an end. for it is only when he has a
fixed purpose that his eyes are open to the
great possibilities of this world, only when
he begins to live for something and that
something is high and noble. that he begins
to see with the eyes of one from whom the
scales have fallen. In proportion to his
conceptions and ideas is measured the
power which he acquires in the world.

President IIarrison's visit ut Cape
May has been anything but a large and
rOllicking success. His chief misery
was the presence of photographers who
were determined to snap their cameras
at him while in bathing. lie got all
ready TO sport in the surf n day when
he discovered n of his prosecutors
lying in wait. The presidential bath
was indefinitely postponed in conse-
quence, the chief executive feeling a
repugnance to the idea of his likeness
in bathing costume being circulated
throughout the country, like the photo
graphs of ballet dancers. Yet the presi-
dent need not have been so squeem-
ish. There will be no demand for his
pictures of any kind in 1892.

A man going into bankruptcy almost
invariably tries to conceal the full ex-
tent Of his liabilities, but sooner or
later the facts have TO come out. The
republican congress has been acting the
same way. First the deficit in the
national treasury was put at sixty-fiye
millions. Then it was Jumped off at a
round hundred millions. Now ii is
roughly estimated at n hundred and
forty-four millions, and il the ratio
keeps on at this rate by the time con
gress adjourns il is likely to reach half
a billion.

AS TO Mr.. CARTER,

The Inter Mountain. organ of the
republican party in Montana. takes up
the talk about Congressman Carriers
temporary withdrawal from politics.
Our Butte contemporary has no faith
i'm the story. Neither has the STAN.
DARD.
The Inter Mountain gets at the
subject by saying this: The demo.
cratic papers are now stating with sub
lime assurance that Congressman Car.
ter has positively declined to be a can
didate." In the list Of democratic
papers that are saying this the STAN
DARD surely is not included; il has said
nothing Of the sort.
The only news we have regarding
Mr.. Carriers intentions will he found
in what the STANDARD has from the
gentleman's own pen and in this
mornings interview. In our news
columns there appeared yesterday
morning a letter written by the con
gresham and addressed To Mr.. Selig-
man, chairman of the state central
committee. In the letter Mr.. Carter
says:
Observing In private communication and also
IN the public prints of our state a tendenc, 10
assume that ] may he considered am aspiraml Tor
reelection to congress, I desire Ia announce
through You Ia the republicans of Montana, that
I do not seek REORGANIZATION and will not be- a
candidate nj the coming election. I make this
announcement In advance ot your call for the
state convention Ia The end that possible con.
fusion may he avoided.
Mr.. Carriers letter is plain enough. IL
says that she does not seek a renomina.
ton" He doesn't have TO seek il: il
will go in quest of him fast enough.
Then Mr.. Carter says that he twill
not be a candidate at the coming cleo
ton That is a clear enough announce.
ment-there isn't an uncertain word In
the sentence, and we do not for a mo.
ment discredit the honesty of the con.
CHEESEMAN'S words. Yet we expect he
may run. Indeed, we do not see how
he is going TO get through the year
without running, because there are OBJ.
legations which a political party thinks
IL can impose on the individual and
some Of the republicans say that thes,
will be heaped on Mr.. Carter. Not that
Helena republicans are saying this.

ious as they used 10 be 10 grab
