Consul johnson Removed.

1t was given out by the officials of the State
Department last week, that United States Con-
sui Edmund Johnson had been removed from
the Consulate at Kehl, Germany, for false
representation as to his military services and
for fraudulent practices as Consul.
The ease has been under investigation by
Secretary of State Foster for the past month,
and definite action was taken on Saturday,
Sept. "a. Mr.. Johnson was first appointed to the
consular service in 1872. has at various times
undergone investigation, and was once re-
moved. but soon afterward re-entered the serv-
ice, aud has maintained his position upon the
representation that he was repeatedly wounded
at various battles during the civil war. and
was thereby greatly impaired in health.
Recent charges as to his accounts and official
conduct led 70 an investigation of his military
service, which showed that his army record
was bad, that he was not in the service at the
time, and did not participate in the battles, as
alleged, and that the claim made as to his
wounds was entirely unfounded. He was also
found guilty of presenting fraudulent accounts
as Consul.

The State Board of Corrections and
Charities held it's regular quarterly meeting
at the state capitol Tuesday. Among the
many matters discussed was that of cOndi-
tional pardons for inmates of the Minnesota
state prison. 1t was decided to call the
governors attention to the recommends
tions of a special committee which reported
on the matter some time ago. A resolution
by Rev. DR.. Smith was adopted calling the
attention of the boards of managers of the
state prison and refOrmatOry to the act of
the legislature authorizing them to employ
an agent to look after the welfare of dis
charged prisoners. Secretary Hart says in
his report that 'convicts discharged from
our state prison have sufficient money. if
only they can be sure of suitable employ
ment, and those who are unworthy can be
much more easily sifted out if the work
test is applied" The report speaks highly
of the discipline of the state prison, and
says of the educational work:
The prison school is recognized on a better
basis than before but it still far short of
ideal prison school. 1t reaches the iliterate and
schools ought in some way to reach the majority

ing. This is the result of visit to the
prison few days ago by Mr.. II. W. Com
ing, business manager of that paper. On
learning from the Warden that the paper
would be appreciated Mr.. Coming kindly
offered to send number of copies to
inmates for year free of cost. The names
of fifty men, fOrty-twO of whom are
''lifers," were sent to the publication office
in Minneapolis and the papers came
promptly. This is generous gift and one
that will be appreciated by the beneficiaries
Those who receive the papers will pass
them along to others and thus they will
reach a large number of readers. THE

A HOLLOW HOWL.

Brother Fish. why do you make your able
paper, the Great West. channel for such
spume as that thrown off by E. V. Debs in
his Convict Labor article? Perhaps you did
not read it. Anyhow. read it again, and
then, please, tell us if it is not the longest
cared discussion On the subject you ever
read. You have been in the penitentiary-
as visitor of cOurse-and we ask you. did
you find it ''palatial institution" one that
you would like as permanent or temporary
retreat even with the disgrace left out? Can
you not assure Mr.. Debs that if the condi-
ton of the convict is preferable to that of
the free laborer that there is no bar to his
entering the ''palatal institution where he
may share in the abundance of whole
some food. well cooked and served at regu
lar hours" and have books to read. skillful
physicians to look after his health and min
listers of the gospel to look after his spirit
ual wants? Mr.. Debs says that the system
of convict labor drives the honest
workingman into poverty and crime. Please
ask him why when the poor tOiler is driven
into the last ditch. and becomes himself a
criminal laborer through the force of con-
Wet labor competition. his loving-care for
the poor victim of the unjust system turns
to vindictiveness. Ask him what he would
have the state do with his brother working
man whom unfair competition has driven to
to crime and prison. Ask him if he wonld
rather earn his living and that of an
able. bodied convict. or let the convict earn
his own living. Ask him how he would
make the convict earn his living
which he must admit he should do--with-
out putting him at some kind of competi-
tive labor. There are lots of questions.
dear Doctor. that you could and should ask
Mr.. Debs that to. answer fairly he would
have to exercise more reason than he dis
plays in his article on convict labor. Doc

an article as that. Then why do you make
your paper bray for such brains?

ex convicts and secure employment for them
if possible. Heretofore there has been no
definite action on the part of the state to
guard these released men from the manifold
temptations and discOuragements which are
inevitable if they are turned adrift to the
scorn and inhumanity of the great world.
AS matter of common humanity. before
these men are released, places should be
provided for them and they should be given
chance at an honest and useful life.
But. it may be asked. who will give en-
ployment to an ex convict? More people
than may at first be imagined. The world
is not altogether as heartless as it has been
written up. There are men with much of
the milk of human kindness in their nat
ures. and who believe in the potency of
compassion, helpfulness, unselfshness, who
would willingly cooperate to make provis.
ion for the restoration of ex, convicts to
ton of these men. and one of large philan-
thropy of the practical kind would be a
great honor to Minnesota. Its earnest work
would surely abound in good fruit. Co.
operation in this matter is essential. The
work must be done by the state or by
private philanthrophy. There is duty to
perform toward the convict when he is dis
charged. Provision for his restoration. out
side the walls. is the necessary complement
of his intramural life.-MinneapOlis Jour-
nal.

"a WOLF IN SLEEPS CLOTHING.'

One of the most ingenious attempts to es-
cape from Jail that we ever heard of was
made by prisoner at st. Louis. Mo-. few
days ago. Religious services are held in
the Jail every Sunday by people from the
outside. The prisoner undertook to ring in
with the good people and pass out with
them. The st. Joseph Gazette gives the
following description of his make up:
The make up consisted of a Prince AL
bert coat and black pants. The vest was
buttOned in the back, with the back turned
to the front, giving it the appearance of a
clergyman's waistcoat. His standing collar
was reversed in a similar manner about his
neck. making the outfit complete. This
was not all. Instead of the full heavy
beard that adorned his face. he wore only
side whiskers. and there was an oasis on
the top of his head representing very
clever attempt to make him look like a
partially bald headed man. This was COW
cred by new SLOUGH hat. His large brown
eyes were also hidden by pair of gold
trimmed glasses, and in his right hand he
held Bible.
The disguise was so perfect that neither
of the turkeys could recognize him. though
one of them looked at him steadily fol
half an hour. He was so ugly that the
turnkey could not keep his eyes off of him.
AS the people were about to leave the Jail
the jailer asked the favor of the new
preachers name. This disconnected the
fellow so much that he forgot to disguise
his voice. and he was politely requested tt
return to his quarters. 1t is too bad the
poor fellow couldn't reverse his face also.
