PRISON REFORM AGAIN.
Msblstick Gives Seme Further Points
on the Merits Of the ParOle
System.

ED. JOURNAL: In my former ar
ticle I promised to outline the duties
of q board Of parole. Before writ
ing further / will suggest that should
the legislature pass the act creating
a state board Of charities and correc-
tions. that the board 20 created be
made also a board Of parole. This
would consolidate work and save
expense. Let the governor snd su-
perlntendent Of the prison each be
an Office member Of said board.
Give the board power to make all
rules for the government Of convicts
separate the convicts into not less
than three classes or divisions. Let
class one contain those utterly iF-
reclalmable. Class two contain
those who are a step In advance and
for whom there IL a hope Of better
things. In class three put the better
grade Of prisoners, all those showing
by their conduct that they are hon
estly trying to lead better lives.
When the prisoners are classified
watch their conduct. When man
IN class one shows earnest desire for
improvement, advance him to class
two; when one in class two gives the
same evidence, advance him to class
three and from class three parole
those who satisfy the board OF their
permanent reformation aud fitness
for citizenship.
When convict Is received at the
prison he should be placed In class
two and the system fully explained
10 him. After thorough trial his
conduct will decide where he should
lie puff good in class three, II bad
In class one.
These few words will give a gen
eral idea Of the manner In which
the system Il applied. To carry II
out fully there should be "A night
school established aud the rudiments
OF common education taught. The
convict should be taHght to read aud
write aud compute In simple mum
bers, this together with teaching him
useful trade will go far toward
making him fit Tor freedom.
While the present officials OF the
prison are doing what they can to
redeem the prisoners and encourage
them to make efforts for II better life
to this end organizing singing
classes, allowing them to give enter
tainments, having preaching, lectur-
ing, etc, all OF which Is a new de-
parture In the Oregon penitentiary;
this has done all the good that Is pos
slble under the present law. wish
20 state here that the deficiency IL In
the law and not In the management.
Let us have the law with an indie
pendent commission; then with the
prudence aud skill with which the
institution has been managed In the
past we may look for great results in
the future. MAHEsTICR.

PRINCE AND YANKEE.
A Good Story Told by Young Man from
Connecticut,

A Good Story Told by a Young Man from
Connecticut.
When the Queen is at Windsor visitors
are permitted to visit certain portions Of
Buckingham Palace, but Marlborough
House, the home of the Prince of Wales, is
never open to the public, and both places
are so carefully guarded that one is not
often paid for lettering about. One young
and venturesOme American from Connecti-
cut was standing in front Of Buckingham
Palace on the evening of the recent state
concert. He walked to within a few
yards Of the palace gate, and there met
sinewy young fellow with bright eyes,
broad shoulders, and a keen air, who was
swinging along leisurely, cane in hand. His
cutaway coat was thrown open. His shoes
were dust-covercd, and he had the general
appearance Of a healthy man who had
walked dozen miles.
"Queen lives hereln said the American,
as the pedestrian slowed up.
"i es, ," was the reply
By this time the pair had reached the gate
The relocated foot-guard saluted the tall
young man as he opened the small gate.
"Goln' in, said the American. -
Eyes was the reply, and the Yankee
kept pace with him until one of the side
doors Of the palace was reached.
"Know anybody heren
"Yesn
"Who d. you knowl"
"The Queen"
80, rats Spose next you'u tell me she's
your motherfn
"She is my grandmother, and am Prince
George, of Wales 20
Here's a half dozen flunkies appeared, and
after much bowling and spine curving the
tall young man was ushered in and the
Yankee was informed that only holders Of
tickets to the state concert were admitted
10 the place that night.
"Come on the next visiting day." said the
Prince, and turning TO one of the funkies
he said: "Be sure and give the gentleman
every facility when he calls again The
Americans are curious in more ways than
one.n
1t trauspired later that the soldiers at
the gate supposed the American was one
Of the Princes companions and so allowed
him 10 pass, and the American tells the
story as good joke on himself.
