The Law Is Void.

The so.called indeterminate sentence act,
passed by the last Michigan legislature, under
which convicted persons might be sent to
prison for an indefinite length of time, de.
pending on whether the prison board
thought they behaved themselves we'll dur
ing incarceration or not, has been declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court of
the state. The court says that it is in con.
PREVENTION to the organic law. in that it con-
fers judicial powers on the board of prison
inspectors. and declares that the unlimited
power to retain or discharge persons in
prison is not only unconstitutional, but is
wrong in theory and dangerous in practice.
The fact that similar laws have been
adopted in other states is held to have no
bearing in favor of the Michigan statute,
the reasoning by which the law was sus-
tanned by the Ohio supreme court being un-
satisfactory to the Michigan tribunal.

Thousands of tons of good fruit were

We have just received the second series
Of Papers in Penology." issued from the
Elmira RefOrmatory press. 1t is an artist
ically printed pamphlet of one hundred and
fifty pages. The matter is compilation
of papers from the pens of eminent author.
tiles on pathological and relative subjects.
Its compiler is the editor of The Summary,
and he also contributes paper on 1.-The
Elmira Reformatory of To-Day" 1t is
published "fOr the purpose" says the ed.
itor, ''Of providing those interested in prison
reform, and the general public. with reli-
able data regarding current movements in
modern penology." 1t is pity that more
of such literature cannot be placed in the
hands of the general public. Superintend
ent BrOckway shows genuine public spirit
in thus bringing the best ideas before a
large number of readers.

A clock is to to be seen at Brussels which
comes as near to being perpetual motion
machine as is likely ever to be invented. for
the sun does the winding. The method by
which it works is thus described by con-
temporary: A shaft exposed to the solar
rays causes an up draught of air. which sets
fan in motion. The fan acts upon mech
anism which raises the weight of the clock
until it reaches the top, and then puts a
brake on the fan till the weight has gone
down little. when the fan is again liber
ated. and proceeds to act as before. AS
long as the sun shines frequently enough,
and the machinery does not wear out, the
clock will keep going.-Selected.

A CHAMBER OF HORRORS.

The Worlds Fair is to have chamber of
horrors which will be under the direction
of the National Prison association. The
association is negotiating with foreign
countries for collections of their instru.
ments of torture and other revered relics of
the good old days of the Inquisition and
earlier times. The display will be as full
and realistic as labor. money, and art can
make it. A special building will be set
aside for the display. In this building
there will be models of prisons of the past
and of the present and of cells that have
been made famous by the important per-
sons they have held. Mr.. Rounds, of the
Prison association, says: 1.-The cells of the
Mamertine prison where st. Paul was con
fined; the dismal dungeons of the Inuuisi-
ton; the living tombs of the Bastlle; the
strange torture chambers of Oriental bar
barism-all will be reproduced with the ut
most fidelity possible. In each cell will be
life size wax figure showing the type of
man who once suffered therein. These fig
ures will be clothed in perfect accord with
the prison garb of the country and the time
as the cap and mask of the Belgians, or the
stripes which are worn by the prisoners in
this country" Everything is to be as
nearly exact in every respect. down to the
minutest detail. as skill can make it. The
exhibit will become a permanent one, and
as much of the foreign collection as can be
secured will be retained. It will undoubt.

prisons, and. above ALL to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
its inner life and thus aid the cause of moral ad-
vsncement and prison reform.

IS DOES 1T PAY TO BE CROOKED2 -
Does it pay to be crooked? Yes and no.

ssDOES 1T PAY TO BE CROOKED2"
Does it pay to be crooked? Yes and no.
Financially, it does pay many. many times:
morally, never. 1t is useless to tell people.
who look on riches as the highest earthly
good. that crookedness does not pay when
they can point you to scores of men who
are fairly wallowing in wealth which has
been accumulated by crooked methods.
Knowing people will laugh at you if you
tell them that men who get rich through
dishonesty are despised and Stunned, and
they will corner you if you try to prove it.
1t is only they who fail that are disgraced.
The world does not ask a man where he
got his gold: his having it is sufficient evil
dence of his responsibility. Don't try to
disprove this by pointing out as examples
the rich man here and there who has made
his pile in an openly and vulgarly crooked
manner. for you will be asked why society
does not show its adherence as we'll of
those who have grown enormously rich by
plundering the public treasury. dipping guile
less stockholders or by one of the many
other ''genteep methods of robbery. Don't
say that they are allowed to pass because
their acts have been within the law. Say,
rather. that it is because they have triumph
ed over the law. Don't point out that where
one man gets rich by thevery ten others
get rich by honest industry. for that does
not prove that crOOkedness does not pay.
You cannot make the common confidence
man, who excites the dupe's cupidity to the
grasping point. and then leaves in his hands
an imitation bond as security for a little
ready cash, believe that his methods are
one whit less legitimate than those of cor
poration. syndicate or company that. under
the guise of legality. unloads upon a confid-
ing public worthless bonds and securities
that were never meant for redemption.
The confidence man will tell you. and you
cannot disprove it. that his methods are
less dangerous to the public good than those
of the company. But the public makes a
wide distinction in its estimation of the two
classes of crooks. The one. successful or
unsuccessful. Is hunted down and thrown
into prison. while the other. if successful,
rises into responsibility or. if unsuccessful,
is sympathized with as unfortunate. The
one class represents the crookedness that
pays. the other the crookedness that does
not pay. Crookedness pays just like any
other business. in proportion to the ability of
those who practice it. The expert bank
sneak makes it pay better than does the
hall thief who carries off overcoats, hats,
umbrellas and door mats. Does it pay to
be crooked? The most successful thief liv-
ing will answer you emphatically, No.

The government Of the United States has not
initiated the government of Italy in its hasty
and inconsiderate treatment of the matters
connected with the pending imbroglio. The
action Of the American government has been
singularly free from passion, petulance and
rashness. The papers of the Secretary OF State
on this question will compare favorably with
the very ablest state papers of the government.
In his communication Of the 18th instant in re-
ply TO Marquis Rudini's note Of the I'd of
April Mr.. Blaine while stoutly maintaining the
contention of the United States by citation of
precedent and by augmentation nowhere de-
parts from that dignifed tone assumed in the
beginning and which has usually characterized
American diplomacy even under the greatest
provocation- The Italian governments I'M
warranted assumptions designed to let itself
down from untenable premises are overthrow
easily and the American responsible
Ity in general, under treaty, to Italy
re-stated with great lucidity and force.
The pith Of the whole correspondence is in
the point here and heretofore insisted upon,
that no treaty can secure to the foreign resi-
dent greater protection of life or property than
is afforded TO the citizens subjects of the other
party to the treaty. 1t would have been better if
Minister Rudini had begun at the other end of
HIS task and ascertained. first. IL there were
Italian subjects who could ordinarily claim the
benefit Of the treaty; second, if such subjects
were at the time Of the killing in position to
claim protection; and third, as a matter Of fact.
did the government Of the United States dis
charge its duty at the time and if so, is it still
in the pursuance Of such duty. The American
side in the controversy is and has been all
along impregnable. But the disposition has
existed, and unless it has been killed by Italy's
brusqueness, still exists, to go farther in the
direction Of indemnity than treaty provisions
absolutely require, and if matters had taken
their course this disposition would doubtless
have manifested itself when Congress as
sembled- But very clearly the executive
branch Of the national government cannot give
the demanded binding promise in respect to
the action Of either grand jury, petit jury or
Congress.
