Matters About Folsom.

From Saturdays Telegraph
Several men went up to the Ell Dorado
hills this week to work in the American
Lumber Company's camps there.
In about two weeks the dairymen will
begin to start for the mountains. A
much earlier start will be made this year
than last.
II. p. Livermore was up here this week,
visiting the dam and boom. In company
with Colonel Cummings he embarked on
the steamer Boomerang and made an ex-
cursion up the north and south forks OF
the American river. 4 thorough inspec-
| ton was made of the surroundings, and
he felt much flattered at the good pros
! poets indicated, and at the condition OF
things generally.
On Sunday last couple of Sacramento
| youths amused themselves in trying tC
clean out Chinese house The heavy
hand of the law in the person of Deputy
Sheriff Burke appeared on the scene and
prevented the accomplishment of their
intentions. They We're allowed to Ian
guish in the bastile until morning, when
they were taken before Judge Anderson
| They were given ten days in the County
Jail, after the Judge had given them some
good sensible advice, which they will dc
well to heed.

revolution, and which is very much bet
ter. In America we are forever in de-
bate; our making and repeating of laws
is evolutionary, educating and develop
ing. So that our chances of getting at the
truth are better with flexible and ever
changing majority, thinking for itself,
than they would be under undemocratic
institutions, because our majorities are
susceptible of conversion and conviction.
1t will be remembered that only few
years ago when the Anarchists paraded
the streets Of Chicago, there arose pop
ular demand for laws to prohibit the
preaching of anarchical doctrines upon
the rostrum and the street corners 1t
was proposed, soberly, to limit the right
of free speech, and a political party in
Chicago went SO far as to commit itself to
the idea. These people forgot that the
whole question had been fought out by
the fathers; that it was not new and that
the unwisdom of the proposed limitation
htlSA 1OAS dSO DGGI IiiduG Cl6dI. pres
emily the good sense of the people pre-
vailed, and it became for the twentieth
time public conviction that the freedom
of the Anarchist to preach his doctrine is
infinitely preferable to repression, since
it might be that the next turn of the tide
would be against the very people who
had invoked the power of authority in
the first instance.
The truth is, that while there is
tyranny and oppression under the guise
Of law in democracy; that prejudice,
bigotry and power do, even in our own
free land, oppress and persecute, in the
long run we can trust the people. The
idea that this is a Government Of the ma
jority is not strictly true; it is the Gov
ernment of the few who are right, who
finally convince the greater number of
the truth, and in the end they always ac-
complish it.

A Good Parrot Story.

Our next door neighbor, writes cor
respondent, owns an amusing parrot
which is always getting into mischief
but usually gets out again without much
trouble TO herself When she has done
anything for which she knows she ought
to be punished, she holds her head TO one
side, and, cycling her mistress, says, in a
sing-song tone: Polly is a good girl, -
until she sees her mistress smile, then she
flaps her wings and cries out: "Hurrah!
Polly is a good girln' She has been al
lowed to go free in the garden, where
she promenades back and forth on the
walks, summing herself and warming of
all intruders.
One morning a hen strayed out of the
chicken yard and was quietly picking up
her breakfast, when Poll marched up Ia
her and called out ''shoo' in her shrill
voice. The poor hen retreated to her own
quarters, running as fast as she could
followed by Poll, who screamed ''shoo''
at every step.
A few days later Poll extended hel
morning walk into the chicken ward
Here, with her usual curiosity, she went
peeriug into every corner, till she came
TO the old hen on her nest. The hen made
dive for Polls yellow head but missed
it. Poll, thinking discretion the better
part of valor, turned to run, the hen,
| with wings widespread, following close
after.
As she ran Poll screamed in her shrill-
| est tones, go Lordl Lord!v
a member Of the family, who had wit
messed the performance, thought it time
to interfere in Polls behalf, as the angry
hen was gaining on her. He ran out, and
STOPPING down, held out his hand. Poll
lost no time in travelling up to his shoul-
der. Then, from her high vantage ground,
she turned, and, looking down on her foe,
screamed, Hello therei Shoo!'
The frightened hen returned to her nest
as rapidly as she had come.-Ihe ashland

The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1891-03-12

Our Bismarck correspondent informs US
that an effort is being made to organize a
ChautauQua Circle in the prison. The pris-
oners have received the ready consent of
the warden who will, no doubt, co operate
with them in devsing means of securing
the necessary books. We hope they may
succeed. and will offer them little advice.
Do not beg anyone to join the circle. for if
you do they will say sometime in the future
that they came in just to please you and
to help the cause along-not for their own
beneft-Oh. no. Nine out of ten of that
class will drop out in short time and your
circle will be weaker than if they had never
joined. Do not strive to see how large a
class you can form to start with. but try
rather to begin with small class of earn
est spirits who will join for purely selfish
reasons, and then you will have natural
growth that will not fall to pieces at the
first stroke of adversely. Beware of the
prison ''Iawyer."

Pot Calls Kettle Black.

An attorney for the defense in criminal
case in Duluth, becOm ing provoked beyond
endurance by the Officious manner in which
couple of reporters pushed themselves as
witnesses for the prosecution, made the
slanderous statement that he would not be-
lieve newspaper reporter under oath. He
was called down. and rightly so. by the
Judge. Nevertheless. it must be admitted
that there are extenuating circumstances
connected with his offense. It is becoming
the common practice for newspapers to try,
and retry, all kinds of cases before they are
given to the jury, and in their zeal to make
out good case. reporters very frequently
overstep the bounds of proprety, in collect
ing the ''facts." Justice is often forestalled
by the work of reportorial detectives, whose
sense of duty becomes benumbed by over
ambition for reputation. and who quite
commonly assume the garb of public pros
ecutOrs. 1t is not at all surprising then.
that attorneys are sometimes caused to pro-
test in too vigorous terms against such
practice. Duluth Sun.

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
for 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.

every great crime occurring in that state
within the past hundred years was COM
mitted by descendants of an old rogue by

HE TOOK TO THE BUSH.

At eighty years of age grandfather was
very much of philosopher and one of the
jOlliest companions boy ever had. He
owned bit of timber land near the town
and he and his grandson would go out there
occasionally in the warm season and bring
in load of wood. 1t was on one of these
summer excursions to the woods that an in
cident occurred which was comical yet sad.
The two axemen were at work trimming the
branches from fallen tree, when the boy
discovered large hornets nest hanging
from limb just above their heads. The
boy was familiar with the disposition of
the hornet and advised an immediate re-
treat; but grandfather laughed at the boys
fears and said that so long as the hornets
were not disturbed they would not hurt any,
one. The boy, having had experience, had
no confidence in the old mans theory, and
he went to the other end of the tree to work.
Grandfather was city bred man, and the
boy felt that he did not appreciate the dan
ger. so uttered an occasional ''You ID bet
ter look out" as he awaited the denoue-
ment. LOOK out" yelled the boy, but too
late. The nest had been jostled, the en-
envy were out, and the fight was on. There
was few quick passages at arms; then all
was frantic confusion. Never before was

The servant girl question continues live
subject of discussion. People wonder why
1t is that the respectable and intelligent
girls OF the poor class prefer employment
in crowded factories rather than in the
wholesome homes of well-tO do families.
1t is probable that many of the girls would
answer the question by saying that they
preferred to be known as factory operatives
rather than as servants or sculliOns.
