THE SAME OLD SUBJECT.

The inmates of penal institution may
be divided into three general divisions:
First, those who are amenable to the rules,
but show no desire to do mole for them
selves than to serve their time with as little
trouble as possible; second. those who obey
no rules except under fear of punishment;
third, those who not only give ready ebe-
dence to rules, but go further and strive
for their own mental and moral elevation.
Or. to be more concise, we may say: the
good, the bad and the Indifferent. We will
not pretend to give the relative numbers of
the classes, but it is known that the bad are
greatly in the minority. Here are three
natural divisions that invite system of dis
cipline that will deal with each according
to its needs. This cannot be done properly
without classification on distinctly defined
lines. The much talked of grading system,
as carried on in some prisons, has been
found effective as a disciplinary agent and
has given better reformatory results than
can be claimed for any of the old plans.
The reason why it has not been universally
adopted is the same as that of the old farm
er who uses his old fashioned cradle in har-
vest instead of the self binding reaper
which is no reason at all. It is simply pref
udice against innovations. The changes
from the old methods of prison management
have been slow; but they are already great.
Brave spirits here and there have struck out
new lines and waited patiently for others to
follow. They have had to endure adverse
criticism and even sneers. but time has
proved the wisdom of their actions. If this
had not been done, American prisons would
still be what they were fifty years ago
pesthouses where old and young, men and
women festered in crime and depravity
Step by step prison management has been
elevated, and the grading system is only
another step higher. Those who regard it
as sentimental idea are right. but it is
sentiment of the quality that has brought
the human race out OF barbarism, and
established laws for the preservation of
public welfare. The old system is not
success. therefore, it is time to try some
| thing else.

criminals in prison and out. The author
signs himself jed Jukes" and claims to
have had fourteen years of prison expert
ence in four instruments. Some doubt has
been expressed as to the truth of his claims
We have no doubt of his genuineness. But
when he undertakes to describe professional
thieves it is evident that he knows little
about them. He draws accurate pen pict
ureS of that class of criminals of which he
was once a member and which constitutes
the mass of every prison population. The
criminal of this class may be described as
combined tramp. laborer and thief. In this
class may be found men of all degrees of
learning, all shades of intelligence, and all
trades and professions. They are, as a
whole, what may be justly termed unfortu-
mates, because they have not the energy to
persevere in any undertaking good or bad.
When they have honest work they imagine
that they could make better living by
stealing. and when they get ragged. foot
sore and hungry at stealing they fancy that
the lot of the honest laborer is after all the
more agreeable. They begin looking for
work, but owing to their shabby. broken
down appearance everyone is loath to give
them employment. Sooner or later they
are in prison again; and so the majority go
on through life, working, tramping, steal
ing and doing time. 1t is to this class that
jed Jukes" belonged. But he is above
the average in learning and intelligence. so
it may be hoped that he has dropped the
thief and tramp parts of his personality.

Jay Gould does not own quite all the earth.
but it seems he owns enough of it to make
him appear sacred in the eyes Of larry
town Judge. The New York Sun is author
ity for the statement that George Harness.
a half-witted fellow, lately released from
an insane asylum, Is serving six months
sentence in the Westchester county Jail on
charge Of trespassing upon the estate of
Jay Gould. The complaint was lodged by
the superintendent of the estate. The he-
nousness of the trespass is in the fact that
Harness approached the great railroad mag
nate as he sat on the veranda of his mansion
and presumed to lecture him upon the fool
ishness of some recent investments. 1t is
not claimed that the man offered any vlo-
lence or abuse to Mr.. Gould; he simply an
noyed the great capitalist. Now, here is
the point; does any one suppose that the
Tarrytown judge would give Mr.. Gould six
months in Jail should he commit the same
trespass upon the property of Mr.. Harness?
Possibly the full gravity of Harness offense
has not been stated. We should hate to
think so great man gifted with soul SC
small.

How Capital Punishment TerrOriZes
Vicious People.

Says Paris dispatch of the 23rd inst. !:
Horrible scenes have been witnessed during
the past week on and about the Place de la
Roquette, the place where criminals are ex
ecuted by the guillotine. Crowds of the
lowest assembled there every evening and
have passed the night in the vicinity eager
to witness the execution of the murdereSs,
Berland, and her accomplish, Dore. On
Saturday morning, as already cabled. a
large crowd had gathered about the Place
de la Roquette. in eXpectance of seeing
these people executed. but the execution
was postponed on account of the marriage
of Executioner Deibler's son and assistant
to daughter of provincial eXecutioner.
Since that time. Sunday morning excepted.
the voyous and their consorts, as well as a
certain number of people of a better class,
have gathered each morning about the
prison and the execution place, singing,
shouting. fighting, and using obscene and
profane language. This morning the crowds
were more riotous and otherwise offensive
than usual. The consequence was that the
police were compelled to charge the crowds.
making many arrests and somewhat clear
ing the air of the neighborhood. The
gargottes. cafes. and other public resorts of
the neighbOrhOod have throughout the week
been doing booming business, as a result
of this bloodthirsty expectancy, and when
the police had appeared and cleared the
streets the officers had another and quite as
lively task in clearing out the most disOr-
derby of these drinking places. Here, again.
many arrests were made and hideOuS
drunken men and drink.sOdden women,
yelling and fighting. were escorted to the
police stations, sOiling the very air through
which they passed by the horrible language
with which they prefaned it.

The majority of men now living do not
remember time when ready-made cloth
ing could not be bought. Yet it is only a
half century ago that John Simmons and
Andrew Carneigh, Boston tailors. con-
ceived the idea OF making up and keeping
on hand ready-made clothing. They made
up some suits to supply outfits for sailors
who were called upon to ship On short no.
tice. Other Boston dealers caught up with
the idea and within few years the bust
ness assumed vast proportions. That was
in the days before the sewing machine was
known. and most of the sewing was done
fingered women and girls.

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 a paper without cost. 1t is published in
the interest of the prison library and after paying
or 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 Of moral ad-
vancement and prison reform.

He Addresses an Enthusiastic Cro~d-A
Speech that Suits the Weather.
Spsciql Correspondence of tie Register. II
WESTON, June 16.-Congressman
John o. Pendleton, of the First Dis
trict, spoke here yesterday. Before
one o'clock, the hour for speaking, the
Court house was filed, mahy of whom
were ladies. Mr.. PendletOn surpassed
his record yesterday as an orator. he
was warmly applauded throughout.
Among other things he said: The Re
publican party was on trial for I'M
kept promises: they had promised hon
est government, reduced taxes, econo-
nv and revision of the tariff in the in
terest of the people. What have they
done? As representatives OF honest
government we have Tanner, Raum
and Raum Jr Tanner recklessly
laundering the Treasury for the beneht
of others: Raum and his precious son
robbing and lOoting it for their
own benefit, young Raum selling
clerkships in the Pension Department
and pocketing the proceeds, while Scan-
DIAL after scandal was daily coming to
life in that department. The President
seemed to think the Presidency pri-
yate snap, and overloaded his relations
with fat offices, while with salary OF
$50, 900 year he has caused his sister
TO be placed on the pension rolls with
| 5000 back pay. Representing econ
omy, we had billion dollar Congress
spending 5000, 600, 900 more than the
/ last Democratic Congress, and voting
money for subsidy TO monopolles on
/ land and sea, but not dollar for the
/ benefit of the masses, while thousands
of new offices had been created at an
expense Of millions year at the eX-
pense of the country. Revision OF the
| tariff had been made, but in whose
| interest? In the interest Of monopoly
alone. But one good thing had been
| done. They had taken the tax from
sugar, and had thereby proved to them
selves in getting cheap sugar that the
tariff was indeed tax. While with
one hand they abolished this tax
with the other they imposed one of ten
or twelve millions year on the farmers
and consumers as a bounty to few
thousand sugar culturerS. When the
Democracy comes TO its own again their
revision will mean something. The peo-
pie will take the place of mOnopolieS,
consumers will be recollected, class leg
islaton will cease and the wants OF
the many will be recognized.
Mr.. Pendleton spoke upon the tariff
question at length, to the entire salts
faction of a shouting Democracy. When
he closed he received great ovation,
and hundreds of people rushed up to
grasp him by the hand. A noticeable
feature of the day was an old Democrat
eighty-two years of age in the room Sit
ting on the witness chair, frequently
applauding tn: speaker.

at Sheepshead Bay.


at Sheepshead Bay.
NeW York Special.
Mccain was naturally greatly elated
over his horses victory. He is So or 60
years old, and has worked hard all his
lifetime, having been in the employ of
Lorillard for number of years as
breaker and handler of yearling thor
oughbredS. The race was worth $4,000
to him, and is more money than Dave
ever had before at one time in his life.
The old man, who is short and of trim
build, was the center of group under
the trees near the paddock when inter-
viewed. The black horse was walking
about, snatching mouthful of the sue
culent clover, which he crushed beneath
his feet every time he got chance.
While telling his friends how he
nurSed Loantaka for the Suburban,
Dave could not prevent his eyes follow

horse the old man has, and for three
wears he has been his constant care.

The winner is a sturdy black horse,
years old, without trace OF white eX-
cept a faint star. He is one of the
fleeteSt horses in training, but the gen
era verdict has always been that he
could not stay over mile, although ne
ran two good races last year at a mile
and furlong. 1t was his great speed
that led the sun to mention him as
dangerous horse for mile, and the
opinion expressed in yesterdays paper
that he and Major-domo would be in
front at some point of the journey was
borne out TO the letter. ajordomo,
the runner-up, is one of Mr.. David Dun
ham Wthers' breeding, having been
reared at Broekdale Farm and sold last
fall to W. j. Spcirs for $1,000. He is
wonderfully fast horse, and is as grand
a locker as there is on the turf to-day.
He, too, is owned by poor man, so
that fortunes favorS were distributed
with great justice in to-day'S race.
