A Good Record.

The figures given in the eighth semi
by the state board of corrections and char.
tiles, are of most encouraging nature,
although their exact significance cannot be
positively affirmed. even by those whose op-
portunities for comparison and judgment
are exceptional. Not only does Minnesota
show an astOnshingly small proportion of
criminals to the total population. but the
rate of increase is steadily growing less,
and within the last two years there has
been decrease of actual numbers. The
causes are not directly apparent although
there is no question that the good character
of our foreign population has had much to
do with creating for us such an except Onal
record.
The shifting of the heaviest proportion of
the criminal population from one city or
section to another without any obvious oc-
casiOn and the equally unaccOuntabIe shift
ing back again. makes it plain that no
accurate conclusions can be drawn from the
bare statistics. The st. Paul and Minneap-
oils warehouses illustrate this difficulty. In
July, 1888, there were 40 prisoners serving
sentence in the st. Paul wOrkhOuse. and
but rs in the Minneapolis wOrkhOuse. while
since that time the burden has been shifted
the other way. and there are now, or we're
on the last day of 1891, 157 in the Minneap-
oils wOrkhOuSe and III in st. Paul. yet the
proportion of Scandinavian population,
which has been proved. beyond doubt. to
furnish less than half its share of the crimi-
nal population. is larger in Minneapolis
than in st. Paul. An occasional incident
points to possible partial solution of the
general problem. which is not an unhappy
one for us. The assertion, for instance.
made by an official at the head of one of
the penal institutions of the state, that he
had seen in city far west of here twenty
men who had formerly been inmates of
his establishment, reminds us that the dis
orderly element in society is always seeking
new fields, and that it is especially inclined
to pour into newly opened sections of the
country.
Whatever the cause may be for this
evident improvement in the conditions of
our morals, as state, the reasons for satiS-
faction are clear enough, and we may we'll
be content not to fully understand the
secret as long as the benefits are ours.
There is one feature of our development.
however. which is very strongly emphasized
by this testimony. and that is that the
present growth in our population must be
of more substantial and worthy character
than that of earlier years. and that our
prosperity does not belong to the evaneS-
cent boom variety with its cOncOmitants of
disorder and crime. There is no more
positive witness to the solid advance we
have made in the past five years than Is
shown in these tables of penal statistics. -

ss ssWhat Wilt Thou Have Me DOes


During my experience as citizen and as
convict have observed that great many
men lack force of character. They ac-
knowledge every one their superior. This
trait is more noticeable in men who have
served time in prison. and may be attrib.
uted to various causes. Too many men
leave prison with that ''what wilt thou
have me- do spirit" and such men almost in
variably return. They 90 out into the
world looking upon themselves as martyrs.
and expect some Young WOmen's Christian
association will take them in hand. poor
unfortunate cOnvicts." Let me say to every
man that leaves this institution, go with
your head up. have self pride. be independ-
ent, don't tell every one you meet that you
are an ex- convict and a bad man; but go at
least one hundred miles from your late res
idence and apply for work. and you will
find all the work you can do.
Men who say that they cannot find en-
ployment are generally snow. shOvelers in
the summer and gardeners in December. II
a man leaves prison with determination
of making a man of himself. he cannot fail.
You should practice economy, so that
when old age places you in the rank of in
valids you will have home in which to
spend your declining years.
How much better it is to be surrounded
with comfortable home in your old days
than to drudge around in prison with a
shovel and broom. COLUMBUS.

Sympathy for Political Criminals.

There is feeling in certain localities,
unquestionably, that political criminal
should not be dealt with like other volatOrs
of the law. 1t is somehow held to be less
culpabe for man to take public money
than to flch private funds. In these same
regions where a jury cannot be found to
convict defaulting state treasurer. the
man who steals horse is certain to be sent
to prison; and SO of all other crimes affect
ing private instead of public interests.
This species of decentralization is difficult to
explain. 1t involves a peculiar Few of the
philosophy of civil government and the ap-
plicatiOn of the rules of justice and pro.
priety. Public opinion is shaped and con-
trOlled by illogical and dangerous inf1u-
ences. The standard of official integrity is
lowered to suit the necessities of men who
find it incOnvenient to keep their books bal
anced and to resist the temptation to
appropriate what does not belong to them.
There is nothing in the sympathy for
political criminals that is worthy of respect
or imitation. 1t antagonizes the theory of
duty and responsibility that is part of the
general plan of civilization. If the public
officers are not to be vigorously judged
when they perpetrate serious Offenses. then
the same lenieDcy should be extended to all
other evil dOers. The test of official recti-
tude should be higher, not lower. than
which prevails in private life. 1t IS of more
Importance that we shall have examples of
strict honesty in public positions than in
other places; and the only way to secure
such honesty is to see that the full penalty
of the law is visited upon every official de-
faulter. The sympathy that is manifested
in such cases is a direct announcement of
crime and a source of general corruption
and scandaI.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

GOODBYE, GOD BLESS YOU.

like the Anglo.Saxon speech
With its direct revealings:
1t takes q hold and seems to reach
Far down into your feelings;
That some folks deem it rude, know,
And therefore they abuse it:
But have never found it so,
Before all else 1 choose it.
l don't object that men should air
The Gallie they have paid for,
With "Au revoir," "Adieu, ma chere."
For that's what French was made for.
But when a crony takes your hand
At parting to address you,
He drops all foreign lingo, and
He says: "Good.bye. God bless you!"
This seems to be sacred phrase
With reverence impassiOned;
A thing come down from righteous days.
Quantity. but nobly fashioned,
It well becomes an honest face.
A voice that's round and cheerful;
1t stays the sturdy in his place.
And soothes the weak and fearful;
Into the portals of the ears
1t steals with subtle unction.
And in your heart of hearts appears
To work its gracious function:
And all day long with pleasing song
1t fingers to caress you.
I'm sure no human heart goes wrong
That's told, Goodbye, God bless you!"

and general tendencies. They showed in.
dustry and systematic habits of study.
If you own the books you read. use mar.
ginal marks freely. Never own book too
good to be marked, and never read book
which does not furnish one chance for being
marked. AS men have used note books, so
they have used some kind of marks, each
according to his individual tastes. Some
simple form is better than an elaborate one.
DR.. Todd used an even dozen different
marks to indicate his likes and dislikes.
while Joseph Cook uses six. These are
good if one wishes to 20 deeply into every
nook and corner of the argument: they are
too extensive for general readers.
Where it is desired to call attention to the
best portions. two marks are sufficient:
draw two straight lines opposite passage

pOrtant, but is still worth re-reading.
After book has been finished turn back
and read the marked passages again. 1t is
also we'll to index them on the f1y-leaf or
blank leaf pasted upon the cover. By this
means the contents of every book is made
available. and material can be collected
easily on any subject. Tom Folio (ThOmas
Rawlinson) had his books thus marked. and
their value was inestimable in his work.
Darwin had similar method: I'm each
book. as he read it, he marked passages
bearing Oh his work. In reading book or
pamphlet, he made pencil lines at the side
of the page. often adding short remarks.
and at the end made list of the pages
marked. When it was to be catalogued and
put away, the marked pages were looked
at, and so rough abstract of the book was
made" These abstracts were kept in port
