WELL, WELL.

The audacious proposition made to
the Worlds Fair commission, by party
of capitalists, to construct an arena at
Chicago for the purpose of giving ex-
hibitions of Spanish bull fights, proves
that there are found, even where we
have the best civilization, some degrad-
ed classes who delight in cruel, bloody
sports, in witnessing scenes most revolt
ing to persons Of human feelings and
better culture. But desperadoes, pugil-
lists, and other fighting men, with those
who have fiendish satisfaction in the
sufferings and blood of the dumb ami
mails they torture, are counted alien
from our Christian civilization. The
characters and their crimes are detested
by all good citizens. But when deeds of
cruelty and blood are not only endured
and condoned, but raised to the dignity
of national sports, it shows state of
society that can hardly be called civil
lied. Ancient Rome had her gladiato-
rial shows for the qualification of those
eager to witness the bloody spectacle.
The tournaments of chivalrous knights
in the medieval times, who slew each
other as an exhibition of their strength
and skill, were of the same character.
In Spain even to the present day bull
fights are a national amusement, in
which nearly all classes find pleasure.
Alas for poor Spain! Once power
full nation, having class-not numer-
ous-of highly cultivated citizens, and
literature by no means despicable, has
fallen into sad condition, neither re-
spected nor feared as formerly. The
brutal sports in which she delights
could never be introduced or tolerated
in really refined society, or by cultured
people, but when retained as relic of
earlier barbarism they have an educat-
ing force, and nurture to still greater
strength the evil passions that made
them possible. Some things among us
may have dissipating, if not democrat
izing, tendency, and should be aban-
dOned. Our voice is not against all
amusements. Innocent recreations are
healthy. Our minds and bodies need

A would-be philosopher has been try
ing to impress on the mind of the
workingman that slavery is little differ
ent from our ordinary social freedom.
A man must work, he says, most of the
time for another person in either case.
Yes, my friend, but it is great salts
faction to select the man you will work
for. And in freedom, the workman is
always working for himself. He should
try being slave for length of time
sufficient to teach him the moral dis
tinctiOn between that state and free
dom.

The North and West commenting on
the recent strikes throughout the coun-

to see that large audience at Home

stead you spent a million dollars for
liquors. If you had that now you
could stay out on your strike as long as

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly pa

per published in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t
was founded in 1887 by the cOnvicts and is edited
and managed by them. Its objects are: to be a
home newspaper to encourage moral and intel
lectual Improvement among the prisoners; to
acquaint the public with the true status of the
prisoner to disseminate pathological infOrma-
ton, and to aid in dispelling that prejudice
which has ever been the bar sinister to a fallen
mans self-redemptiOn. The paper is entirely
dependent on the public for its financial sup
port. If at any time there should accrue a sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests of the prison library.

There is a bad type of independence
in politics. 1t is that whose shape is
made by personal malignity, and whose
method is SANDER and vituperation.
Just at this season this sort of indie

tics which should have little influence.

A wealthy New Yorker, recently de-
ceased, disposed by will of some two
millions of property which he had
gained chiefly through the rewards and
opportunities of public position. He
bequeathed only $4,000 to benevolent
causes. A man has right to dispose
of his estate as he will; but then the
public has judgment as to whether he
'dispOses of it in the right way. And
less than one per cent to benevolence is
not the right proportion.

This may seem improbable to many
well-meaning farmers, who have been
led to believe that they are being robbed
of one-third Of the val7e of their wheat
crop; and that the export business is i'm
mensely profitable. But the illustration
is an account Of an actual sale. 1t is a
fair sample of the experience Rs North
western grain men who have tried wheat
exporting. 1t explains why they went
out of a business which resulted in
heavy losses instead Of fair profits. It
also explains why at this time there is
