Convicts had better be satisfied to remain

Notwithstanding all the talk and the
several state prison bills introduced, the
legislature adjourned leaving the prison
management laws standing just as they
were before the meeting. About the only
action taken of any consequence was the
appropriation of large sum OF money for
increasing the binding Irvine plant in this
institution. The appropriations for the
state prison are: Current expenses for 1892

BETTER STICK no THE PEN

In commenting upon the letter Wiscon.
sin convict recently wrote the Secretary of
the Navy. suggesting that as it is difficult to
recruit men for the Navy the depart
ment might find large number of men in
the penitentiaries who would be willing to
serve in the Navy rather than in prison, the
editor of the April Chautauquan says:
This prisoner had reasons aside from his desire
for release for writing his letter. during the Civil
War prisoners were taken from the penitentiaries,
and enlisted in both armies. North and South,
and many of them made good soldiers. Of course
it would seem to degrade the naval service to
adopt such policy but why should our thought
run in that direction7 We educate convicts to be

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

WHO WILL PREPARE THE BILL?

We did hope to see law made by the
late legislature of Minnesota providing for
the parole of convicts from the state prison.
1t may be that the lawmakers of this state
have not yet been made to see the benefit
such system would be to the state, but it
will not be long before the matter will be
forced upon their attention by the example
of other states. The laws of this state are
probably more liberal to the state convicts
than the laws of any other state, but the
system of sentencing men to prison and re-
leasing them therefrom is bad, when results
are considered. There is too much discrim.
nation in sentencing men to prison, but
next to none at all in the matter of re-
leasing them. The discrimination shown
by the courts is not what the word implies,
as is very manifest here in prison where
the results may be seen. We see here
number of men whom we will say are
equals in character and all convicted of one
degree of crime, but when we come to ex-
anime their sentences we find great differ
differences of five. ten, fifteen and
twenty years. But it may be worse than

INTELLIGENT PRISON MANAGE.


In speaking of this prison and it's future
management the Minneapolis Evening
Journal says. editorially, that it is become a
subject of decidedly deep interest to the
people of the state. and continues
There are special reformatory prisons;
but in fact. every penitentiary ought to be
reformatOry prison. Special refOrmatOries
are needed for the younger convicts, who
can be more easily moulded and trans
formed by preparation and discipline best
suited to enable them to earn an honest liv-
ing when they are released. But when
such classification does not exist. the same
intellectual. moral and industrial training
must be wrought. Systematic habits and
definite purpose may be acquired in pen
itentiary under proper management, as well
as in a reformatory proper. But rare abil
ity and tact are necessary to bring about
good results.
1.-The best system is the graded one.
The hardest, most eXacting work must be
given to the new corners. When they &C.
quire patience. steadiness. fidelity, in that.
promote them to grade above, where the
work is lighter, and where incentives to
reformatory effort are given in the shape of
defined privileges, to be acquired by the
most worthy. Thus there could be several
grades, each one more luminous with hope,
and stimulus to faithful performance of
duty. These incentives may be adjusted to
the taste and ambition of the convict. The
system is in vogue in France and Belgium,
and it has been tried with success in Cali
fornia, and perhaps in other states.
''Then, provision ought to be made, as is
done in Massachusetts, for the convict who
has served his term. Under the generally
prevalent system the eX- convict finds, when
turned loose in the world. that all doors are
slammed in his face and it looks as if soci-
ETY. really means to force him back into a
life of crime. 1t is evident that the state
can, in large measure, shield the eX-cOnvct
from this terrible danger. A commission
should look after the placing of all ex- con-
victS, who have given evidence of sincere
reform, in positions where they can earn a
living. By proper management. employers
could be found who would take these men
into service on probation. There is no
doubt that in large majority of cases the
reformation would be found to be perma-
nent. The question of the future of the
released convict is one which ought to en-
gage the most intelligent attention of Pc
nOlUgists."

THE OMAHA BRIDGE FIGHT.
Another Injunction Against Jay Could
Crossing Still Blockaded.

OMAHA, Dec 31.-Summons was served to-
night on General Manager Clark and other Off.
GERS OF the Union Pacific railway commanding
them to appear before Judge Boone Saturday
and show cause why they should not be fined
for contempt in violating the injunction forbid
ding them interfering with the movement of
Milwaukee trains.
temporary injunction has been granted on
petition OF Ernest Stull, of Omaha, to prevent
100000 in bonds voted by the city TO aid the
Union Pacific railroad in the construction of a
union depot here from being turned over to that
company. The injunction is based on the ground
that the Union Pacific should allow all roads ac-
cess to the depot on reasonable terms, and that
il now shows disposition to violate the con-
tract The hearing was set for January5
After the order of the court was served on the
Union Pacific last night and that company
learned IRON the court that St Paul trains could
come across the bridge, an attempt was made TO
bring the fast train on the latter road from Coun-
ell Bluffs. The train had progressed but short
distance when il was brought TO a standstill by
the tracks being torn up for 150 feet An at
tempt was made 10 take the train over another
route, but the switch was found blocked by an
engine ordered there to keep the train from
going through.
