The New York Ledger tells. as a fact,
that man has just been released from a
French prison after having served SEN
teDce of 100 years. He had been convicted
of HOUSEKEEPING at the age of 20 and sen
fenced to the galleys. The Ledger says:
''He had triumphed over laws, bondage,
man, time, everything. Not relation had
he left. not single being could he hail as
an acquaintance; yet he was not without
experiencing the homage and respect the
French invariably pay to old age. His
family and connections for several genera
tiOns all dead. himself living proof of the
clemency of heaven and the severity of man,
regretting, perhaps. the very irons which
had been familiar to him. and half wishing
himself again among the wretched and
suffering beings with which his fate had
been so long assOciated-well might he be
called the patriarch of burglars"

1t looks very much as if the Chicago 20.
lice were trying to work up another Hay
market affair. The people of Chicago
should learn from history that such methods
of dealing with an evil do not tend to
lessen it. The police cannot justify their
raid on Grief's hall and the wholesale
arrest of the people peaceably convened
there. except by the law of Knight is right"
Such acts give those wrongheaded people
real grievances and wins them sympathy
instead of contempt and hatred. 1t is from
such acts that anarchism draws it's life.

THE PRISON MIRROR, published by the

the person who has learned to regard all oc-

PRISON MIRROR will prove great sur
prise and undoubtedly an agreeable one.
There is something remarkable. almost
fascinating, in the thought as you peruse
it's editorials and contributions that they are
articles written by men who have been adj
judged criminals. Were choice selections
the only pieces published. it would not be
as interesting. but original articles on in.

GONE WRONG AGAIN.

While some will be surprised others will
not be to learn that Charles M. Morton has
again touched the fatal trigger of the strong
trap set by the law to catch those who stray
into forbidden paths. He was arrested at
Binghampton, N. Y. for forgery, 4 crime
OF the same nature as that for which he had
just served seven years in this prison.
There is possibility that he may be inno-
cent. but owing to the circumstances of the
case there can be very little doubt of his
guilt. If he should be convicted he is al
most sure of a twenty years. sentence, and
that means that the remainder of his life
will be spent within the walls OF some
prison. Just two months ago to. day he
stepped out of this prison free man with
a mind filled with anticipatiOns of long
life of liberty. His means enabled him to
attire himself in fine clothes, even to a
gentleman's silk hat, and he looked every
inch a gentleman. too. He had money
enough to carry him away to the furthest
corner of the United States and enough
more to keep him in comfort for several
weeks. There was no visible reason why
he should not get on in the world; but a
mind reader would perhaps have read be.
meath that shiny head-cOvering something
like this: Well, if some one will offer me
situation with a salary that will enable me
to live according to my tastes will be glad
to settle down to an honest life. but-how-
ever, the future will settle that. What
was the matter with this man? It was this,
he had cultivated tastes for style of living
that he had no abilities to attain. He had
no trade. no profession and no patience to
acquire either. He had brain enough. but
not of the right kind. He was so blind
himself that he thought others were blind.
He could not see the many weak points in
all his plans. No doubt he will say of the
failure of his latest scheme that it was all
right only for circumstances which it was
impossible to foresee. He has advertised
himself as having been editor of THE
PRISON MIRROR while here, but that is not
true. He was frequent contributor, but
never had anything to do with the manage
ment of the paper. He wrote good deal
for other papers some of which failed to
pay him for his work, fact which he often
pointed out as evidence that mankind in
general was dishonest. We see that a St.
Paul correspondent of the Minneapolis
Tribune says that Morton asked the editor
of the Eye. paper recently published in
st. Paul. to intercede with the governor for
his pardon. Morton. in speaking of that
matter. said that the Eve was indebted to
him for work and he did not know but what
the editor would like to liquidate the &C.
count by using his influence in behalf of a
pardon.

such and of the individual members who
have been in the work long enough to i'm
bibe the Chautauqua spirit. The Chau.
tauqua spirit. as we understand it. is not so
much a thirst for knowledge as it is an en-
ergy to go in pursuit of it. All human be-
ings love knowledge, but many of us have
not had the energy to 60 and dig it out of
the mines. The opportunities for getting
knowledge are open in this day to nearly
every person in civilization. but many do
not realize this, or if they do they fail to
profit by it because no one points out to
them the proper means. Chautauqua was
designed to do this very directing. 1t
might we'll be called co operative educa-
tiOnal society. 1t is really such here in
prison. Men who had never pursued any
regular course of study have been gradually
drilled into the Chautauqua system until
now they find themselves actually working
the mines of knowledge and accommodating
the gold of their greed. The information
gained will be of great benefit to them and
incidently to those with whom they come
in contact, but the greater benefit lays in
acquired mental discipline-the power to
control vagrant mind. The pursuit of
pure knowledge. whether in prison or un
iversity. is always elevating to the student.
Not only is Chautauqua elevating in its in
fuence on the members of the class, but it
elevates the tone of the whole prison. just

munity. 1t is many steps upward from
what prisons were only few years ago. 1t
is not so long ago since the idea of an edu-
catioEal society composed of convicts would
bave been ridiculed. People then imagined
that the convict's only thought was wick
edness. If one of those old skeptics could
drop into our meeting some Sunday after
noon and see convict with gavel in hand
presiding over forty or fifty of his compeers.
and listen to the testimony of what they
had been thinking and doing during the
past weeks. he would have to revise his
skepticism then and there. The transcend
ent beauty of the thing is that there is
nothing in the nature of the prison Chau-
tanQua circle that the ''sickly sentimental
ism" bowler can find to bark at. Chau-
tauqua has come to stay with US. When it
goes it will be when something better comes
to take its place. Let every member show
himself a patriot in the work. Rest as.
sured that every movement for honest
advancement will be met half way by
those who have it in their power to help us.
