Here and there at various points
about the remarkably treeless town and
treeless commons are lofty wooden
crosses, bare and imposing, to which
solemn church professions ass made on
certain festival days, and one cross,
standing on the summit of low tree
less ridge behind the town, stands out
in strikingly bold relief.
The preaching is in the Mohawk
tongue, and the church is always we'll
filled. The community is very reli-
gious, and even such as do not regularly
attend service do not fail to go to the
first communion; to marry only under
church sanction: to call for the priest
when dying, and to wish him to stand
over their grave.
Children, instead of receiving the
names of their parents, are given some
new name and one which has mean
ing, as, for example: "He has queer,
queer voice." "He carries flowers" "a
beautiful night" ellis face is as long
as any Others"
The homes are usually simply fur
nished. In some are quaint, well kept,
old fashioned articles of furniture. Diff
fering from many other Indian COM
munities, they do not care much for
flowers, nor do they have any striking
hatred for weeds.
The moral standard is higher than in
many other reservations which are more
in contact with the whites, and there
are not nearly so many cases of disease
caused by contact with white depravity.
There are more deaths from lung dis
eases than from any other cause, and
the average duration of life is good.
Many live to the age of eighty or ninety
years. A pathetic reminder of ancient
beliefs is the restlessness of the sick and
their impatient desire to be borne from
house to house, to remain for a time at
each, hoping thus 10 find the spot where
evil influence cannot reach them, and
no matter how i'll they are none will
take medicine when the wind blows
from the east!
The Oldest man in the village is over
ninety and very white-a descendant of
white child captured by the Indians
near Albany long ago, when the French
ruled in Canada, and who grew to ma
turity among them.
Many foray did the st. Regis Indians
in times past make into the Atlantic
states. Originally of the Iroquois con-
federation, and for the greater part Mo-

English, and no longer considered as

Statistics of Crime.

One of the saddest as we'll as one of the
most interesting records brought to light BY
the advent of the new year is the Chicago
Tribune's compilation of murders. execu-
lions. lynchings, and suicides committed
during 1891. 1t is record over which the
author of The Anatomy of Melancholy"
might have fingered with pleasure. but
which the student of social problems will
study with sad interest. It will not be en-
couraging to lovers of law and order to learn
that the murders committed in the United
States during the last year numbered 5. 9O6,
or an increase of 1.616 over 1890 and of
$3.50 over 1889. Some of this increase is
doubtless due to greater fullness in report
ing the daily life of the country which the
telegraph shows constantly. but outside of
this the increase is large enough to be dis
piriting. The causes of these murders are
classified as follows:

WHERE PRISON LIFE IS HARD.

II there are any human beings more than
others at the mercy of the greed of ''soul
less corporations" they are the convicts
leased to the railroad companies of the
South. They are worked to the full extent
of their powers of endurance and often be-
yond; they are carried about the country in
box cars, like hogs or cattle. and winter
and summer these cars are their ''homes."
They may be endurable in winter, but it
must be torture in the heat of summer to be
packed in those almost unventilated cars,
like sardines in box. What their food
consists of we do not know. but it is rea
sonable to suppose it is in keeping with the
surroundings. Rain or frost, Sunday or
holiday. these miserable men are driven out
into the bitches. 1t may be contrary to laws
for their protection, but it is done neverthe-
less, for we have seen it in travelling through
the South. None but the very lowest types
of men can be hired to guard these convicts
and push them to endurance OF the inhu-
man treatment. A very fair picture of the
Southern convict guard is given by cor.
respondent to the Minneapolis Saturday
Spectator in describing the Lone Star state:
lin Texas you do not see the white man
on horseback riding over large planta
ton, looking after the 'niggers' to see that
they earn their wages, tor the 'ove'seah' is
one of the things of the past in this part of
the Sunny South. and may he rapidly go all
over the whole South. However. the old
time 'Legree' is to be found in Texas to
day. not on horseback with his whip in
hand, but on foot and with a double bar
relied shotgun. He is guarding the con-

ticed to a large extent the revelations
caused by ''police scandals" often prove.
A PRISON AGENT.

A good many of our state exchanges have
commented upon the proposed appointment
of state agent to look after the welfare of
discharged prisoners. The two extracts
given below are fair specimens of the COM
mon expression. We believe they are
wrong in thinking that only few men
leave prison with the desire to live in con
fOrmity with the laws. A great many who
come to prison are what are known as &C.
cidental criminals; that is. they have been
grow out of bad business management
These men usually 60 straight after leaving
prison. therefore nothing is heard of them
Very many men who leave prison are well
enough balanced to walk straight without
aid and these are not heard of. The pub
lie hears of those only who 20 to the bad
again, and so think that the reformed ex
convict is rare exception. However.
there is broad field for practical and prof
liable work for state agent. 1t is the
opinion of the editor of the AnOka Union
that there exist good reasons for the ap
pointment of such an agent He says:
Now and then a man is discharged from prison
who honestly desires to reform and become good
citizen. The minute he gets into st. Paul or Min.
neapols. where they naturally 60 first. the police
who have description of them. Immediately
warn them that they must Ego to work or git"
To man who has had his spirit broken by the re-.
straints of prison life the implied threat of such
warning is a menace which frequently breaks up
his good resolutions and the man "goes on the
road" to become once, more a criminal. 1t this
matter we're placed in the hands of some dis.
eliminating man who had sense enough to
detect man with honest intentions and nerve
enough to say to the police authorities: "Hands
off, this is my man and I'll take care of him.
much good might be done by such an agent. If it
is only intended to furnish place for some worn
out politician, better let the scheme go by.
The editorial of The Broad Axe closes as
follows:
The social barriers raised up against the ex-
convict are almost insurmountable. and the man
who has worn the stripes realizes that he is So
cal outcast Each convict who again "goes
wrong" renders it still more difficult for the one
who has good intentions to carry them out. For
the. ex.convict who aspires to live a useful and
honorable life state agent, clothed with the au.
thorty to make temporary provisions for the out.

nifty to earn living. and who would provide for the
marked man immunity from police or other inter-
ference until he was given at least one chance to
redeem himself could do more than all the char
liable institutions in the country combined This
is one of the steps in the right direction Of prac
teal charity and applied humanitarianism which
we heartily commend and hope to see carried
into effect.

attempt to make an escape. His ominous
