THE EXCHANGE AREAWAY.

1t IL still . Bone OF Contention Between
Wood and Ltssner
The proposed cellar way to tho Exchange
building, at the corner Of Wood and Main
streets. Is likely TO rise to the dignity Of an
issue in First ward politics. Charles II.
Wood, the owner, wants to improve the
house. The improvements contemplate an
area-way Of four feet on lain street, SO as
to reach the cellar. When the matter was
up before The council at its last meeting, it
will be remembered that Alderman Hiss
nor, whose property adjoina the Exchange,
made a personal appeal to his fellow mem
bers not to allow the area.way. He and
Wood had some high words about it, The
special committee appointed TO look into
the subject met yesterday at the place Of
Chairman Fred Gamer, and afterwards Wis
tied b elocality. Gamer, Harrity, Morris and
Thompson, OF the committee, were there.
So were Lissner and Wood. A policeman
mittee that Wood had called the aldermen
all ann of vile names. Wood denied
this and the lie was passed bit no blows.
Wood and Thompson also had an exchange
Of compliments, resulting, however, in no
bloodshed. The committee offered Wood
tbs privilege asked for. provided he would
be satisfied with three feet. Wood said he
wanted four fest Or nothing. The commit
tee then decided to refer it back to the
council, where the fight will be made. Wood
declares that he is only asking the same
privilege granted to Lissner. Tn latter
says he is going to do away with his AREAS,
and for that purpose has already bought
used in front Of his place when he had a
wooden sidewalk there. Wood will make a
strong fight before the council, and may
yet win his case.

the first great lesson of moral thera-
peutics, that "an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure Beginning
to learn, we say, for the lesson is not
yet well learned. Everywhere, all
through Christendom, we spend very
largely more for the punishment than
for the prevention of crime. Most GER
tainly this is equally unchristian, un-
philosophical and unwise. But, hap
PLY, the whole tendency of modern
thought is to better things. In many
parts of this country, not excepting
our own state, and in Europe, wise men
and thoughtful women are directing
their most earnest attention to the diff
ficult but not insoluble problem of saw
ing the neglected children from ruin
GUS temptation, of checking the young
in their early offenses by placing them
under refOrmatOry and educational
restraint, and thus contending with
crime by stopping the sources of it's
supply. This is the great, the radical
work to do. All other methods are at
best but curative of disease. This alone
can preserve and maintain interrupted
health. 1t is direction of work, also.
in which the members of the Prison
Congress can all equally labor, every
one in his own sphere. AS Christians
as philanthropists, as legislators, as
citizens, as parents, as men and women,
in whatever station, with whatever de-
gree of influence, you can all do, ladies
and gentlemen, your part in this Chris
tianlike labor of love.
But we are learners yet, inexpe-
rienced and immature in our thought.
To the wise counsels of the Association
we must all look for such suggestions,
from time to time, as will strengthen
our good purposes everywhere, and
direct us so that we may not work in
vain.

A GREAT WORK.

The DIST Congress of the National
Prison Association of the United
States convened December { at Balti-
more, Maryland, and the work accom-
plished reaches the vital interests of
society and government, and involves
not only the reform of prisons and
prison discipline, but also the personal
reformation Of prisoners, the ameliora-
ton of our criminal codes. and the pre-
ventiOn of crime.
We cannot doubt that the discussion
OF these questions during the sessions
of the Congress have commanded earn
est attention, and we know these efforts
at reform will engage the warm sup
port of community like that of this
great state-a state not backward in
good works.
At last. after nineteen centuries of
cruel experiment with gallows and
block and imprisonment and whipping
post and bread and water diet, and
every conceivable method and degree
of physical and mental torture, for the
punishment of crime, the civilized
Christian world is beginning to learn

The Grading of Prisons.

DR.. Ransom, who has gained such
prominence by the connection with
electrocutions in New York, made a
speech before the Prison Congress. He
said, in part:
Certainly, among the needs of this
time there is one which emphatically
demands our attention, and that is the
management of our criminal classes.
When, through prOmiscuOus immigra-
ton and the crOWding of large cities.
we are furnished with population so
largely productive of criminals. con-
ditiOn cOnfrOntS US which cannot with
safety be passed by. | believe that all
prisons should be graded into first, sec
Ond and third grades, with it's prison
grade by itself; the first grade prison to
have for its inmates a class of cOnvicts
who, by reason of their former life.
natural qualities, or acquired manner
isms, or who, by meritQrious conduct
or conformity to discipline in other
grades, have earned promotion to the
first, and hence can be rather safely
trusted to receive benefits not at all
practicable to the whole Ell maSSe The
second grade prison should be cOnsti-
tuted OF that class of men who, while
not entirely to be trusted with the priv
ilegeS of the first, are, at the same time,
not absolutely bad men. The third
grade prison should be the incOrrigible,
and consist of men who have been ex-
PEELED or eXfOliated from the two grades
above. The industries. differing, cloth
ing and food should correspond with
the consistent requirements of each
grade. | also think that modern pris-
Ons should be built with larger cells
No cell should be less than by 10 feet,
and should be furnished with light and
water, and well ventilated Every pris-
on should have isolation quarters, not
composed of dark cells. for such are I'M
wholesome, unhealthy, demoralizing;
but light, well-aired cells where incOr-
rigible and stubborn prisoners can be
confined and separated entirely from all
their fellows. DR.. Ransom was also in
favor of corporal punishment in some
cases. In refOrmatOry institutions for
the young he thought it almost indis-
pensable. In connection with this view,
he quoted the following:
Among the youthful pictures l oftentimes
recall,
Is that Of mothers shingle in sprightly rise and
How whilst the rhythmic cadence echoed its dis
NAL knell.
My stubborn heart relented, and l began to
YELL
In the doctors opinion this treatment
acted with as much magic on the stub
born temperament of the youthful in
Hcorrigible or criminal as on the youth
full violators of parental rules.

A Rev. Mr.. Barrett, of the Methodist
Episcopal church of Glens Falls, this
State, preached a sermon the other day
in which he asserted that eighty per
cent. of the inmates of the prisons of
the State were graduates of the public
school, and drew as a conclusion that
education does not make men better.
A citizen of that village, named Sher-
man Williams, heard of it few days
later and he promptly wrote the editor
of his paper intimating that the minis
ter was. to use the vernacular. talking
through his hat" Then followed a
WOrdy combat. in which the minister
was numerically drawn over the Goals.
Mr.. Williams was up on the subject
and he did not hesitate to quote Hon.
J. p. Weckershaw of Pennsylvania.
He began with the statistics of the
Eastern penitentiary of Pennsylvania
and found that of $50 cOnvicts re-
ceived in two consecutive years, not
one was graduate of a public school.
Seventeen per cent. of them had never
attended any school at all. OF the 2.3O7
persons convicted in the State during
one year, only fifteen were reported as
possessing superior education. OF the
4, 2O3 admissions to jails, warehouses,
and houses of correction during the
same year, 1,2O9 could not write.' ETC.
And so Mr.. Williams went on and store
apart this weather beaten SANDER
against educational treatment of crimi-
nails. The discussion waxed hotter.
Higher authorities were called into
requisitiOn. First it was the late DR..
Wines, then the Rev f. II. Wines, then
the reports OF prison commissioners of
various States. At last accounts the
fight is still on. Mr.. Williams has so
far confined himself to parliamentary
terms, however, and has approached no
nearer to calling the Reverend Mr.. Bar
rett liar than to assert that what the
latter says "has no foundation in fact"
We will watch the result of the contro-
versy with interest. Mr.. Williams ex-
hibits rare amount of learning on the
subject, and, whatever the outcome, the
chances are that his adversary will be
more careful hereafter as to how he
uses figures.-The Summary
