The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1890-02-20

We acknowledge the receipt of a cata-
logue of the University of Minnesota for the
year 1855 80. and announcements for the
year 1889 go. The University of Minnesota
is the leading educational institution Of the
state and for practical usefulness probably
leads the West. The attendance for the
year 1855 80 was. ladies 100, gentlemen
621. The University is state institution,
endowed by general government and sup
ported by the state. being part of the state
educational system. 1t is situated in the
city of Minneapolis, about mile below
and in full view of the Falls of st. Anthony.
The grounds are about forty five acres in
extent well wooded with native trees
There are five distinct departments: A
college of Science. Literature and Arts. a
college of Mechanic Arts. college Of Ag-
riculture, department of Law and de-
partment of Medicine. the latter consisting
of three separate colleges. The expert
mental farm of the A gricutural college is
situated about two miles distant. The uni
versity fund of Minnesota ranks second in
the Union. being 1897, 251, and in attend
ance it ranks fourth.

Twenty eight months and thirteen days of
valuable time have sailed forth to the i'll

But prison life is valuable in many par

TUE 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 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
its inner life and thus aid the cause of moral ad
vancenent and prison reform.

rves the notion that ex. convicts are bad
set, and that there is truth in the old say
ing of ''Once criminal always criminal"
The self-respecting ex convict will make
his own way in the world the same as any
poor man would when it become necessary
for him to seek emplOyment-he will ask
for work. and not for money and sympathy.
1t is not the purpose of the writer to Gre
ate false notion as toe the high character
of ex-convicts. but to show that the public
must revise its Judgment if it desires to be
fair minded.

scanned with greater interest in our Office than
THE PRISON MIRROR.-Herman ENTERPRISE.
Owing probably to a premonition that
you will some day be strenuousIy induced
to take an editorial position upon that pa

The above is a beautiful little coupet
that is going the rounds of the press. We
will add that we have just graduated an as
sistant editor and that if the editor of the
Herman Enterprise should come this way
he could have the vacancy. More than
that. he would be privileged to cock his
feet upon our desk, smoke all our cigars,
chew our spruce gum, use our right ear for
pen wiper and the left one for a razor
strop. fish the beans out of our soup and
lick the honeydew off the backside of the
postage stamps "a luxury we never yet al
lowed any man to share with us). He
might do all that and more too in grateful
remembrance of the many kind things he
has said in his paper of The PRISON MIR

EX.CONVICTS.

EA.CONtlCIS.
Public opinion concerning the character
of eX- convicts is too generally formed upon
what is said about them in the newspapers
and by those who have the most to do with
them. This being the case it is not much
wonder there is such antipathy in the com
mon mind against the eX-cOnvict; for we
rarely see Or hear anything good said of
the ex convict as all ex convict. 1t is al
ways when the ex- convict does something
wrong that he is spoken of as an eX con-
Wet This is proper so far as the newspa-
pers are concerned. but the public should,
in its professed broad mindedness. form
more reasonable conclusions. 1t is often
| the case that those who come most in con-
tact with ex cOnvicts judge them most
unreasOnably. Take for instance some
man whose official position, say on the
him in contact with large number OF dis.
charged prisoners. Whether it is his duty
or not he is supposed to be willing to aid
them in securing employment. He recO-
mends them to some one who gives them
situation. They may be short of funds and
apply to him for monetary assistance until
they get a start; he accommodates them.
A few months roll by; they betray some
trust, are arrested or fly the city leaving
their benefactOr in the lurcE. The news
papers get hold of the facts and herald the
story to the four winds. After this expert
ence has been repeated number of times
the one imposed upon becomes nissan
thrOpc toward all eX-convicts. Now. the
reason why he is so often imposed upon is
wholly owing to the class of discharged
prisoners who seek his assistance. and in
whom he places most confidence. The man
who goes to him protesting most piety usu-
ally gains his favor most readily. There
are worthy exceptions, but generally the
p;OuS convict is a piOuS fraud-piOus for
revenue only. These men rarely become
acquainted with the better class of men
who leave the prison. for they do not seek
charity-they go away to their homes or to
other states. Even the first-cl thief
never stOOpS to impOstiOns on charity
it is only that class of thieves who have not
the stamina to be honest men nor bold
robbers that do such things. The able, bodied
man who leaves the prison with from tif-
teen to fifty dollars in his pocket and in a
few days is found hanging around the
doors of charitable persons or institutions is
sadly lacking in manly principles and hon
est pride, and is often more worthy of sound
kick than a helping hand. The man who
rushes right from the prison to those who
have the name of being friends to prisoners
to implOre aid without first attempting to
help himself is not made of the kind of ma
terial that can be relied upon to succeed
even with the assistance of Influential
friends let alone by that of half hearted
charity. This does not apply to those who
go to ask for work or for information
as to where it may be had, but to
the ones who instead of assuming the re-
sponsbility for their own welfare seek to
throw it upon others. 1t is from this pusil-
luminous class of men that the public de.

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.
These are days of organizations. A new
association is to be organized in M chigan,
called the Reform Association. AS will be
seen by the circular printed below. it is to
be composed of eX- cOnvctS: and its purpose
could not be more worthy than those set
forth in the ''objects of the association"
If they succeed in forming an organization
on sound basis we believe it will prove to
have been one of the grandest moves in the
line of reforms ever organized. Iii hope
ful sign when eX criminals band together
for the suppression of crime: it will encour-
age the public to continue in the efforts to
develop the modern ideas of improved
methods of dealing with crime and Grimm
ais; it will encourage the respect of good
people for eX cOnvicts, and of eXconvicts
for themselves. There is no man better
able to guide another out of mire than he
who has once been in it himself. We hope
to see the promoters of this scheme succeed
in forming permanent organization; and
why should they not with such a practical
and enthusiastic reformer as Capt H. F.
Hatch. warden of the Michigan state prison,
whose name appears on the program. as one
of the promoters. If such an association
could be formed in every state in the Union

When the Sub Treasury bill c me
up before the House Committee on
Ways and Means, through a resolu-
ton introduced by Representative
Wheeler providing for its considera-
ton, some very lame reasons were
given for its not being reported.
Among them were these: In as much
as the resolution seemed to propose a
trenching upon the prerogative of the
Committee on Rules by the Ways and
Means Committee, in the clause set
ting apart a day for the consideration
of the bill, and for the further reason
that owing to delay in its delivery TO
the committee the date fixed for con-
sideration of the bill hal already been
passed therefore the resolution of Mr.
Wheeler was laid aside without action.
In fat there is no desire just at
present in either branch of Congress
to be put on record in regard to
this bill.

tried many remedies known to the profession
with only temporary relief. After much ex-

combination has proven a emedy for diseases

fifty years. AS by it | have be en- restored

of weather, and eating any and everything set

me of chills and prevented my taking ella
