On Dredge Business

Horace B. Angel, of the Golden
State and Miners Iron Works, OF
San Francisco, and Mr.. T. Crosse
lande, q representative OF the Ben
nett Amalgamator, of Denver Col.
were both in town this week. Mr.
Angel is to make few alterations
in the dredge machinery. He is
the gentleman who has put a large
number OF dredges on the Pana-
ma Canal, and is probably the
most thorough dredge man in the
United States, al any rate he has
met with more success than any

NOT A NEW THING.

. A mistaken idea prevails that
free coinage OF silver is n new and
untried thing. There is nothing
more mistaken and untrue.
Free coinage Of silver in this
country was an existing fact from
the establishment of the mint. in
1892, down to 1878, not q great
while ago, and yet it seems to be-
forgotten. So, you see, all that
we ask is to go back to first prin-
ciples No novel, wild untried,
visionary project. Nothing of the
kind. The people who cultivate
and circulate this delusion lave
missed the mark by large major
ity. For eighty years free coinage
proved it's legitimacy and sound
ness. Surely it has first right
the right of possession. And so, as
against gold, it has the right Of
eminent domain. Ii either must
have the cold sholder gold should
be selected for this purpose.
Free coinage is not such ter
rible thing, after all. The outcrv
raised against it is Unauthorized by
the fact in the case. It is purely
mythical and speculative. Wolse
than cheap dollars. it is the cheap
arguement supplied for this pur-
pose, because there is nothing bet
ter, In short, it has no solid |
foundation and is good for moth. |

San Francisco Nothing.

The Daily Report says that Car
son City has raised $35 for Mrs.
Pratt and continues: Thus far
San Francisco has not contributed
o dime, although it's pro rata
the population OF Carson being
3000-is $3.50. 1t may be that
the weli-known modesty and SEN
sitiveness of our citizens stand in
the way. Perhaps they are afraid
that, il they were to raise 1880
for Mrs. Pratt, she would refuse
TO accept it, and then they would
feel SO bad.
The Report is mistaken. The
fund has reached over $50 and
San Francisco would have to raise
$1,000 to come up to it pro rata

Since our last issue change has taken
place in the wardenship of this prison. 1t
was announced in this column month ago
that Hon. j. j. Randall had resigned and
that Mr.. Albert Garvin had been appointed
his successor, the appointment to be in eff
feet Feb. 1. Mr.. Randall became warden
on Aug. L, 1889, and served just eighteen
months. and in that time advanced many
improvements in and about the prison. He
takes with him from the prison the hearty
good wishes of every inmate and OF every
officer and guard who served under him.
Mr.. Randall and his family will long be
gratefully remembered by the convicts of
the Minnesota state prison for their uniform
kindness and many favors.

it will answer better than lie or no rec

The MankatO Register has changed own
ership. Sheriff w. R. Geddes disposed of
the Register to Messrs. E. F. Soaring and
F. w. Hunt, both experienced newspaper
men who had been employed in the office
of the Mankato Free Press for number of
years. THE MIRROR wishes them success
in their conduct of the Register. In his
farewell to newspaper work Editor Geddes
says: Gin laying down the work on the
Register we feel that peculiar sense of re-
greet which any newspaper publisher eX-
periences when cutting away from Ieper
which he has presided over for any length
of time. There is something strangely
fascinating about the work Of an editor.
and to him his paper becomes sort of SEN
tient being, to separate with which gives
rise to regrets OF an unusual nature. known
only to those who learned to understand
them through experience"

In our last issue we made note of the
fact that number of persons had expressed
an opinion to the effect that The MIRROR
would end with Warden RandalPs admin
istration. The editor of the Pioneer Press
says in regard to the matter:
The only journal in America subject to strict
censorship, the saltwater PRISON MIRROR, is in
some doubt as to its future existence under the
new warden. 1t ought to be allowed to continue
an object lesson to a few of our dull and dirty
exchanges. geographically and editorially THE
MIRROR reflects more credit on its clientage than
many more pretentious publication.
We thank the Press for its favorable ex-
pressiOns, and will add that the change in
the wardenship has taken place. THE
PRISON MIRROR continues to be published
at the same old stand and may be had, as
usual, for one dollar per year.

TO THE PUBLIC.

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. It's 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 adj
vancement and prison reform.

By the death of Secretary William Win
dom Minnesota lost her brightest represent
alive in the galaxy of American statesmen.
The story of his sudden and untimely pass
ing away from earth's busy scenes has been
heralded over the civilized world, and his
eulogies have been written by thousands of
pens and pronounced by thousands of elo-
Quent orators. They all say he was an
honest, industrious, charitable man. What
more need any man possess to be prepared
to answer to sudden summons before his
Judge?

We are in receipt of Warden Dan Hop
kins' biennial report of the Nebraska state
penitentiary for the two years ending Nov.
80, 1890, from which we make a few ex-
tracts: There is healthy moral feeling
among the prisoners. X Through the
liberality of Mr.. C. w. Mosher, the lessee,
the library has been increased by 500 choice
and readable books donated by that gentle
man. This makes the present size of the
library 5000 volumes. which has been re-
arranged, new catalogue made and one
placed in each CELL The library is great
factor in moulding the morals of the in
mates and making them cOntented with
their surroundings and donation such as
Mr.. Moshers is of incalculable value. X x
Before closing my report desire to express
my gratitude to the Chautauqua Literary
and Scientific Circle, of Lincoln, for the
noble work they have done among the con-
victs under my charge. 1t is astonishing
what an interest this association has awak-
ened among the men, and what a vast i'm
