HARDSHIPS OF BANKS.

Banks, especially, have hard time. They
are the target for every sort of rascality, OF
which that perpetrated by the dishonest
clerk of Shipman, Barlow, Larocque 8;
Choate and which cost two or three banks
over $500, 900, is the latest specimen; the
State Legislature and Congress are both hos
tile to them; their taxes are enormous, and
so is their outlay for rent and clerk hire
To meet all these losses and expenses they
have to pick up innumerable little amounts
of interest and discount, which, on money
market like the present, count up very
slowly indeed.
Trust companies do better, because they
handle money in larger sums; but they, too,
are exposed to the attacks of all kinds of
irresponsible borrowers, whose object is to
raise solid cash upon moonshine schemes
and VINO too frequently succeeded in their
efforts

ing, and even revolving.
The men enter the main prison in this
way. Here the lines separate, the men
dividing according to the wings of the
building where they are confined; and,
stopping before apertures in the kitchen
wall, beneath the rotunda. they receive
upon tin dish. their allowance of food
Each man, with this dish in hand, goes up
the iron stairs to his cell-to his solitary
swallOw-hole among the rest-shutting his
iron barred door behind him with bang.
The constant "clack' of these doors echoes
loudly through the prison.
When all the men are in, the guard
standing at the end of the corridor. moves
a great lever which fastens all the cell doors
locked down, and the men are closed in.
There, in solitude, the food is eaten. If
you pass down the corridor, you see face
after face, in the dim light within the cells,
looking out toward the broader light out
side.
Each man munches in silence. looking
outward, and the eager, unsatiStied eyes
tell most plainly that. though the hunger of
the body may be satisfied thus. there is no
food here for hungry eyes, hungry affections
and hungry souls.
1t is at this time that the convict seems

animal in a cage. tearing its food sullenly.
To eat alone. forever, is a horror in ITSELF
The men feel the pressure of it all upon
their minds and moral natures. One man

So he lies for months on his mattress in
his cell, alone. miserable. tortured with his
thoughts. suffering acute pain, but clinglng
to the prison fare, and keeping up his cOur-
age for freedom.
Few convicts have this courage to begin
with. 1t is possible that this man himself
will find, when free at last, that what moral
stamina he had left is gone. But when
that longedfOr time comes. he, like all
other cOnvicts whom years of separation

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

In speaking of a persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember. those with homes OF glass
Should seldom throw a stone;
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those that sin,
'Tis better we commence at home.
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man,
Until he's fairly tried.
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide;
Some may have faults-and who has not?
The old as we'll as young
Perhaps we may. for aught we know.
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of better plan.
And find it works full we'll;
To try their own defects to cure
Before of others tell;
And though sometimes hope to be
No more than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The fanlts of others 60.
Then let us all when we commence
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word would do
To those we little know;
Remember. curses sometimes like
Our chickens ''roOst at home;"
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.

They've got fellow up in the North Da-
kota penitentiary, William Kelly. whose
term of imprisonment has expired. but who
refuses to leave his cell. and the lawyers
are puzzling themselves over what kind of
papers it requires to get him to vacate the
premises. This is mean sort of a spirit
on the part of Mr.. Kelly when there are so
many others in our sister state who should
be provided with accommodations in the
building. These institutions will have to
be abolished if we are to have as hard
time getting people out as we have to get
them in.--Milbank Herald-Advance.

The Usefulness of the Elephant.

In modern times, we have only to look to
India to be convinced of the great useful
ness of the elephant. To the agriculturiSt,
who uses him before his wagon or his plow,
he is indispensable. and for the transporta-
tion of heavy articles he has no rival. We
see him carrying immense tree trunks out
of the Indian forest, and by his indefatiga-
BILE industry, in picking up and carrying off
large stones. aiding the construction of
roads and railways. For labor of this kind
cOolie receives from four to eight annas,
while five and six rupees are paid for the
daily work OF an elephant. From this fact
we conclude that one elephant performs the
work of from twelve to twenty two coolies.
From the record of the British expedition
against King Theodore, of Abyssinia. in
1868, we learn that A elephants were ship
ped from Bombay for use in the campaign.
Each animal was in charge of two men. Of
this number, five succumbed during the
campaign. The remaining 80 rendered
valuable services, being intrusted with the
transportation. through mountainous
country. of cannon. ammunition and sup
plies. 1t was frequently very difficult to
procure proper food for them, and as it was
often necessary to traverse great distances
to reach the watering places, the death of
the five animals is ascribed to these hard
ships. Although elephants move slowly
through mountainous country and soon
become foOtsOre, they performed their task
with admirable faithfulneSs. Without them
it would have been necessary to await the
building of wagon roads.-Scientifc Amer

The Abuse of Power.

The old saying that might is right. or I
might say, the old law which allowed every
privilege to the strong. is not. am sorry
to say. entirely done away with to this day.
Take for example our treatment of the In
dian. From the time of the first settlement
of this country by the white man. the In
dian has been treated to most palpable
proof of this statement But Uncle Sam
is all angel when compared to some of the
European powers in that respect. England
with all its vaunted British fairplay has
good cause to blush. The pen of the his
torian has told us that it was the Roman
Emperor Julian whom the early Christians
feared and hated the most, and who has
left the blackest record behind. What was
his crime? Why, he simply shut up the
schools of his day and stopped education. and
in that way put the people farther back into
barbarism than all the wars of the empire
had ever done before. And yet this was
one of the burdens that England put upon
Ireland in the memorable year of TITS; her
schools were closed and education de-
stroyed. By far the greater portion of the
people were Catholics, but no Catholic could

say mass without becoming legal felon
worthy of death at the nearest gallows.
All offices of trust, all the learned profess
siOns were closed to the Catholic.
But things have taken considerable
change in the last hundred years. 1t is but
a few days ago that the lord mayor OF Lon
don addressed memorial to the cZar of
Russia in behalf of the prosecuted Jews of
that country which, if it did not better the
condition of the Jew. at least it showed to
the world that England has undergone
remarkable change in its idea of religious
liberty. 1t shows. too. how easy it is for
nation to overlook the misery and distress
of it's own subjects. and, at the same time,
offer coincidence and sympathy to those of
another power. That the Jews are in need
OF our sympathy-and not only the Jew.
but every subject under the czar's tyranical
government-ther is no manner of doubt;
but the most to be pitied object in that
great empire of Russia is the car himself.
What couch his would be could he but
hear the tenth part of the prayers and cries,
aye, and curses. that ascend to the throne
of God every day and every hour of the day,
from that living tomb Siberia. Does he
really believe that there is a God that sees
all things, that even sparrow cannot fall
without His notice? 1t does not seems so.
If he did he would not be the cruel, tyran-
ical despOt that he is. But the time must
surely come when even he will know the
difference. when he will find that he must
answer for the cruel abuse he is making Of
his power. not as he thinks. against his own
subjects. but against Gods own subjects.
Then woe be to them who make little of
God by showing their contempt and hatred
towards His children. And here the
thought arises, what glorious world this
would be to live in if all men were equal in
the eyes of men as they are in the eye of
God. Jos. r.

In q State Prison.

Life in state prison! What is it like?
Perhaps no one has lived it. under cOndi-
tions which prevail nowadays. who has had
describe it as it is.
The sufferings in the old traditional kind
of prison life-the solitary confinement in a
dungeon cell, in chains and darkness-have
been described by men whose pens have
made their readers feel something of what
they felt in such captivity.
That kind of Imprisonment. the purpose
underlying which was punishment, retri-
button. has practically passed away, under
the influence of the growth of human feel
ing. A form of Imprisonment, often called
detention" rather than punishment, and
which is outwardly much less terrible, has
tax en- its place.
Now, prison convicts, through a good
part of the day, are ordinarily in one
another's company under guard, outside
their cells; they have the blessing of work to
engage their bodies, and good books and
journals to occupy their minds; they are fed
with good food. and their health is looked
after.
Has this bettering of the external condi-
ton of the prisoners rendered their cOnfine-
ment something no longer to be dreaded
and feared?
Perhaps some people who know little or
nothing of convict's life may have thought
so. Let us look into great state prison,
and see what life there is like.
We are in central rOtunda, or great

prison radiate in three directions. the officers
and the residence of the warden and his
deputy making fourth wing. The air of
the prison seems to fill this rOtunda. One
looks from it, through a partition of heavy
vertical bars. closely placed, out upon rows
of cell doors. which are like great stacks of
swallow holes raising one tier above another.
These cell doors do not look out upon
daylight, but on the inside light Of a corri-
dor. The cells constitute a building of
themselves, built up within another build
ing.
If we look into these cells, it is likely
that we shall find them empty. The con-
victs are at work in the shOps-the long,
plain, two. .stOried brick buildings that we

In the narrow cells are hunks, coarse
blankets. plain bedding, chair-perhaps a
rocking chair-and upon the thick, white
washed walls are almost always to be found

But few of the cells are absolutely with
out an attempt at ANYTHING to brighten
them. Their occupants have lost all
thought of anything cheerful. They live
on squalidly and miserably-not living
really, but barely existing, and doing only
what they are forced to do.
Here and there one finds in the cells a
few mechanical tools and bits of woodwork,
upon which the convicts while away their

THOSE WARRANTS.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
ABOUT THEIR ISSUANCE.
No Extra sesston-The Military
Warrants I'm the same Fix as
EIniXerSItv WA rrsnfs

No Extra session-The military
Warrants i'm the same FIX as
University warrants.
The morning "Iser", on Sunday failed
to give the state treasurer credit for retus-
ing to endorse illegal warrants. The truth
of the matter is, the state auditor had is
sued several thousands of dollars worth of
warrants for the university which the state
treasurer refused to endorse, and a suit was
brought against him (the state treasurer)
and not the state auditor, to compel him
to endorse said warrants. The supreme
court said no. Sound treasurer. Sound
court. Sound policy. No appropriation, no
warrants.
As matter of fact the state military
warrants are in the same fix, there being
no constitutional appropriation by the leg
islature for their payment and if the state
treasurer follows the strict letter Of the
law, there will be no more military war
rants endorsed, In fact, there is no consti-
tutional appropriation to pay the interest
on the state bonds.
One of the commissioners of the univer-
sity is authority for the statement, it is
said, that Governor Ferry was exceedingly
wroth at the state auditor for suddenly
stopping the issuance of any more univer-
sity warrants, but it is evident that the
state auditor and the state treasurer under
stand the law.
"There will hardly be any extra session
of the legislature notwithstanding the ac-
ton of the supreme court on the univers-
ity warrants" /" said a close friend of the
governor this morning. ''The governor is
opposed to it. He thinks the state can get
along without it, and his health is not suf-
ticiently robust to stand the strain Of an
extra session."
