IN DAYS GONE BY.

About twenty-five years ago wandering
newspaper correspondent spent an evening
in the southern prison OF Indiana with his
old friend Colonel Shuler who was then
warden. The colonel had been warden
then for about one year and during that
time had made profound impression upon
the convicts by his superior manhood, and
the correspondent gives this illustration in
his report to the indianapolis Journal of
about that date:
Among the negro convicts is old Peter Palmer,
sentenced for twenty-one years. whose time.
counting the discount for good behavior. expires
next July. The other day Peter dug up hun
dred dollars in gold and gave it to Colonel Shuler
to keep for him until his time was out. Peter
says he was always afraid to trust his treasure to
the keeping of Others but. fore God, he believes
Colonel Shuler is an honest man.
The correspondent also interviewed one
of the lady guests of the colonel's hotel. but
the report does not say who this now his
tOrical character was. However, we hope
that the supreme court did not do violence
to Mrs. Clem's hopes:
Of course, we could not come away without see.
ing Mrs. Glenn, the lioness of the institution. We
found Mrs. c. in the female department. looking
well and cheerful. She was dressed in plain cal.
ico neatly fitted with trifle of white linen about
the throat She is hopeful that the supreme
court will provide way out of her difficulty. and
complains that the newspapers pursue her even
within the walls OF the prison. She pointed to
her cell. and jocularly told us to 60 in and ex.
anime the 'spring mattress" upon which the pa.
pers represented her as sleeping, and the velvety
Brussels upon which her dainty feet trod. We
found her cell neatly but not gaudily furnished,
the spring mattress being stuffed with clean straw
Mrs. Glenn also denied the soft impeachment of
going a-shing, not that she is any too good to do
it, but merely to vindicate the truth of history
Confinement does not seem to tell upon her. and
she is buoyed up by the hope of getting out in
short time

THE VAMPIRE OF INDIA.

The MIRROR is in receipt of circular
letter from Wallace j. Gladwin, correspond.
ing editor of the India Waterman and Ban.
her of Asia, Bombay, India, calling atten-
ton to the sad state of affairs that has been
brought about in Asia by the opium traffic.
Mr.. Gladwin is an American missionary
and member of an association organized
for the purpose of arousing the sentiment
of civilization against the opium traffic as
carried on in India, China and other parts
OF Asia by Great Britain. 1t is said that
the opium habit is rapidly spreading and in
fact is now almost universal with the ma
tives in some districts Of India and China
Some idea of the rapid growth of the de-
structive habit may be gained from the fact
that in 1880 there was not an opium shop
in any of the large inland cities of China, but
now in the city OF Hangchow alone there are
1000 shops. In Western China it is esti
mated that fully one-h half of the adult popu-
latiOn smoke the drug. In India the habit
is gaining hundreds of thousands of votaries
every year and every community is cursed
with its opium dens. w. S. Game. ESQ.,, a
member of parliament, who has been in
vestigating the extent of the traffic for
his own satisfaction. writes to a London
newspaper: II have seen men in various
stages of delirium tremens, have visited
many idiot and lunatic asylums, but have
never seen such horrible destruction of Gods
image in the face of man, as 1 saw in the
government opium dens of Lucknow.
L went from room to room. and counted, on
the ground floor alone, III human swine of
both sexes. An opium sot is the most
hopeless OF all drunkards. Once he is well
into the clutches of this fiend. everything
gives way to it's fierce promptings. He
only works to get more money for opium.
Wife. children and home are all sacrificed
to this horrible lust" The shame of all
this destruction of Gods creatures rests
upon the British government By two
wars Great Britain has forced this worst of
all human depravities upon the Chinese.
and by her will and encouragement has i'm
posed it upon her own subjects in India.
And for what? To satisfy greed for gold.
Great Britain forces the Chinese govern.
ment to allow the unrestricted sale of the
poisonous drug to the people. Butin En-
gland only registered druggists and chemists
are permitted to dispense opium and that.
too. only as medicine. and every bit sold
mustbe labelled Poison" and bear the
sellers name.

The eighth annual report of the directors
of the st. Paul Workhorse has been re-.
ceived, and it shows up a state of affairs
very credtable to its managers. The insti-
tuition has been more than self sustaining,
the ledger showing balance in favor of
the workhouse of s1,711. S1--a rare exhibit
for prison ledger. There were Its per.
sons committed to the workhouse during
the year, 124 of whom were still detained
Dec. 81. The table showing the crimes of
those committed would be a strong docu.
ment in the hands of the prohibitionists for
900 of those prisoners were sentenced for
being drunk or drunk and disorderly. How
many more were there indirectly from the
use of strong drink cannot be estimated,
but we judge the number large for 172O ad-

its inner life and thus aid the of moral ad-

The rain which has fallen since Monday
has been worth millions of dollars to the
people of Minnesota. That is putting a
pretty high value upon rainwater, but then
if it had delayed its coming for another
week the wheat crop would have fell short
several million bushels of the average yield;
and other grains and vegetables would have
suffered incalculable damage. 1t is often
said by cOnvicts that it makes no difference
to them whether it rains or shines, but that
is great mistake, for the amount. variety
and quality of our food supply largely de-
ponds upon the scarcity or abundance of
the fruits of the soil. Therefore, let us re-
joice with the tillers of the soil because the
parched earth has been made fruitful once
again.

BRACE UP, We WALTERS.

We who are in prison are given to think
ing our condition the most wretched and
ourselves the most unhappy of all classes OF
humanity, but such is not the case. There
is probably more real wretchedness in the
city of Saltwater outside of the prison walls
than there is within the walls. We are
denied many creature pleasures and COM
forts here, but still we have more of such
things than many free people. We have
enough of plain food to sustain our bodies
in health; fairly comfortable beds to sleep
on; wearing apparel which. if not of the
most fashionable cut and attractive pattern,
is at least comfortable and as good as any
one expects to see us in. We have also a
few of the luXuries of life. such as plenty
of good books and papers to read, smoking
and chewing tobacco in sufficient quantities
for moderate indulgence, and ginger bread
every Sunday. These things we are sure
Of-except at such times as we happen to
be spending few days in limbo-whether
times are good or bad. There are thousands
of people outside of the prison who, through
improvidence or misfortune. are living in a
state of misery that is great deal harder
to bear up under than the disgrace and dep
rivatiOns of penal servitude. The truth of
this is apparent from the great number of
suicides that are occurring out in the world
every day. You can hardly pick up a
newspaper but what your eyes meet the
word suicide" The first paper we take
off pile on the table has this in glazing
headlines: Disgrace and Death. Ex-
Assemblyman Charles Binder, of New
York, suicides. He Had Gambled Away
Trust Funds, and When Ordered to Appear
in Court to Give and Account Had no Re-
course but Self Destruction" Just think
of the long train of miseries that must fol-
low for his wife, children and mother, and
those children whose inheritance he had
squandered. That is only one incident out
of perhaps fifty others of a like nature that
have been mentioned in the papers of the
past week. Then, to come nearer home,
think how incomparably more miserable
are the wives, children and parents of con-
victS. in many cases, than the cOnvicts are
themselves. They are nearly always left
in poverty; and an uncharitable world visits
your disgrace upon them with more force
often than upon you who deserve it, There
are many more uncomfortable things than
confinement in prison, and the man who
looks at it in this light is more apt to do
some good for himself while convict than
that fellow who spends his days in lamen-
tatiOns over the loss of his character-which,
perhaps. never was any ''great shakes at
its best.

Rutfianism in journalism never stands the
least show of profit, except where the ma
jority of ones patrons are rufians. and then
the proftableness is questionable. Even
ruffians respect honor, truthfulness, SINGER
ity and independence, especially when
linked to an unfinching bravery and fair
ness.-The National Journalist.

Generally speaking. bad boy gains more
pounds IN year than good boy.

The National conference of charities and
corrections has been in session at Indianap-
oils, but the newspapers have been so stingy
in reporting the proceedings that it is not
known in this part of the country whether
our delegates have been attending to bust
ness or contracting for ''hoop- poles and
pumpkin sass"
