Minister Egan is fully vindicated after
all. The English agents and English in

be panied TO learn that President Iiarri-

TIE FIVE O'CLOCK LAW.

The recommendation OF Governor Ladd
to amend our laws governing the con-
duction OF elections and close the polls on
election days earlier than has heretofore
been customary, has been made more for
fanciful and theorot cal reasons than TO
benefit in any way the large class Of voters
in the State. The reasons that nave thus
far been advanced in It's favor are thepoo
est and fimsiest ever offered il favor of
amending an election Law.
This proposed amendment seems to
have sprung up more in the interest OF the
warden, clerk and supervisors Of elections
than any one else. What difference does
il make ~ them whether the hours on
election day are short or long1 They arc
paid literally for the work they have to
perform and they are put hrre 10 accom-
moca,e the people--not 70 have the people
accommodate them. What ID more, /! the
present officers think the hours too
long or the Pay too small, there
are plenty Of men ready and willing
to step into their places, just as compe'
tent an1 energetic as those now holding
Office. l. may be said that the Offices
would not go begging for competent men
to fill them If the hours were even longer
than they are. Why should the State be
put IN line in this regard with other
States? Is anything to be gained BY it,
What may be good for one place may not
be good for US and thus far the plea in
favor of adopting this change to place US
in line with other States IL mere senti'
ment What is more, when the table ID
examined, appended TO the Governor
message, we find that there is much ir-
regularity in regard TO hours as ever
There is simply one thing TO be said, and
that is, some places do not keep the polls
open as long as we do. But it will be seen
tnefS ls no uEdnlIHllS ~ W 'A"4N' A-"~"
place has a law to suit the peculiar and
special demancB OF that place. The polls
never should be closed earlier for any
such sentimental reason as this. And the
plea that we would get the returns little
earlier is worthy, perhaps, Of the school
hoy hut not of thinking men.
The present law works well enough ant
no one finds any fault. At least no word o.
complaint comes from the rank and file o
the great parties Of the State. The privi-
lege to vote is the grandest one the peo-
pie posgoss. Besides being a badge OF
manhood it gives ono a voice in this gov
ernment Of ours Of which we are so Justly
proud.
No such scheme as is proposed should be
foistered upon us to make US vote With
In few hours and drive Us like sheep to
the polls. In such matter, it is tbt
people who are to be accommodated ano
not the willy politician. No one has asked
for this scheme but the treacherous, pot
house politicians. One mighty voice is
now raised against its passage, but II this
amendment is made 10 the law let the
authors OF it remember that Gwen meet
again at Pnilippi."

new lives; do get some equipment for
right living. After release from i'm
prisonment their goodness, whatever
its degree, is severely tested in the out
side world. Ex-prisoners are required
to live more circumspectly than those
who have not been prisoners, in order
to pass community scrutiny. The re-
proach of Imprisonment is very hard
to struggle against. On returning to
the places from which they went, to
prison, the ex-prisoners are readily
found by old companions, who are in
friendly guise. The saloon is more
hospitable to them, in manner, than
is the parish. The ex-prisoner's daily
walk is made extra hazardous by OBJ
stacles, temptations, allurements and
frowns which are especial to him. 1t
is as important for the community as
for the Individual himself that the ex-
prisoner goes right after his release.
IF the attitude of hostility between
him and the communityis maintained
he, perforce, must be a marauder, in
stead of being an Industrious, produc-
ing, honorable citizen The ex-pris-
oner deserves to have his merits rec
ognized, and to have fair chance in
the world-not a special chance so
long as his integrity is unimpeached.
Ministers and their people ought to
see to it that such fair chance is
given the ex-prisoner. It is clearly
their business to see that the bruised
reed is not broken, nor the smoking
fax quenched.
If any doubt that criminals can re-
form, let them ponder on the declara-
ton Of the Savior to the thief on the
cross; and read with diligent care l

Why Observe Prison Sunday

Wherever Prison Sunday has been
observed, much good has been accom-
plished by arousing public attention
to more intelligent consideration of
prison questions; and it's advantages
in arousing healthy public sentiment
upon those important questions are
so apparent that it seems very desira-
BILE that the observance of the day
should be encouraged. That the pris-
on question is of sufficient importance
to merit such observance is evident to
all who have familiarized themselves
with existing facts. These facts may
be briefly summarized as follows:
1. Crime is frightfully on the in
crease. If the United States census
reports are to be trusted-and all
other statistics, as a rule, corrobor-
ate their general correctness-crim
for fifty years has risen like tide to
which there is no ebb. In 1850 the
criminals were one in every 3,442 of
population; in 1860, one in 1, CAT; in
1870, one in 900; in 1880, one in
S37, and from the present appearance
the census of 1890 will show one in
every 500 or 6OO Every one can see
that this condition of affairs must be
checked, or civilized society must cease
to exist.
Remedies must be considered and
adopted very soon, or we die, and
surely the churches ought to be will
ing to set aside at least one day in the
year for such purpose.
2. Prison reform, as the child of
Christianity, has vested right to the
care of the churches. IF it fails to re-
ceive it, it is an orphan, and there is
no adequate help elsewhere.
8. In Democratic form of govern
ment, like our own, legislation cannot
be enforced efficiently without the ap-
proval of a majority of voters. In
other words where the people rule
there can be no permanent progress
except by instructing the people, and
hence the necessity of educational
work upon the subject of prison re
form. GEN. r. BRINKERHoFF.

Severity in Prison.

The words of the sentence, "hard la
Dor in prison." imply rigor and mer-
cilessness, which are begotten of crude
ideas of justice, which remain as a
heritage from a former period of juris-
prudence. Whatever would crush the
convict's spirit, and make prison life
harsh and oppressive, and encourage
no hope against the day of his release,
was ingeniously devised and syste-
matically followed, but not for the
benefit of the man and all for the good
of the public. 1t has taken a long
time to learn that men cannot be i'm
proved by such treatment, that a
word of encouragement is better for a
man in misfortune than a frown or a
blow, and that efforts to set him on
his feet, when he is fallen, are more to
be commended, even in a selfish esti-
mate of business ways and interests,
than to make his falling permanent

Juvenile Criminals.

An important question in American
social life is presented by the census
bulletin which relates to the inmates
of juvenile reformatories in 1890. The
total number of inmates of Juvenile
reformatories reported in 1890 is
1886, an increase of 3, 1878, or. 29.4
per cent. over the number reported in
1880. A peculiar feature of this in
crease is that the largest per cent. of
the rise in number of inmates is that
of girls. Ten years ago the percent
age of girls was 1927 of the total
number; now it is %. 80 per cent; but
of the total number, II ,535 juvenile
delinquents are boys and 3,311 are
girls. It is sad commentary upon
the care taken of American youth that
there are little more than five times
as many girls in reformatories, in pro-
portion, as there are women in peni-
tentiaries Statistics which present a
view of the nationalities of reforma-
tory inmates are valuable. The tables
show that 1908 inmates are white
and 1 ,943 colored. The foreign pop
u1ation is seen to contribute directly
or indirectly in the persons of the for
eign born rof their immediate descen-
dants 5, 851 5 to the population of the
juvenile reformatories, while the entire
native population contributes only
3,7265. Of the IL, 903 white juvenile
delinquents, II, O78 are native born,
but the parentage Of a large proper
ton of the native delinquents is for
eign born.
A very large percentage of these
boys and girls are the children of
drunken parents. They know little of
home life, become familiar with crime
at an early age, and thus the way to
ruin is quick and sure.
1t is sad thing to know the per-
centage of criminal and ruined youth
of the nation is steadily rising. Every
voter ought to feel keenly the disgrace
when he realizes that our government
is in a large degree responsible for it.

American Tin Plate.

A correspondent visiting the South
Dakota tin mining districts, in writ.
ing to the Denver Mining Exchange
Journal Of the 10th inst, says: O.
IA small mill and such concen.
traitors as used by the Homestake
would produce a clean product that
would assay 70 to IS per cent. tin.
This could be readily smelted on the
ground with charcoal, as fuel is in
abundance in this vicinity, or the con.
centrates shipped TO St. Louis for re-
duction and find . ready market.
The coming year will no doubt
cause a great surprise to the people
of the United States and particularly
the Brilishers who SEE one of their
greatest monoplies swept from them
by the Mckinley Bill and American
enterprise by the output of tin from
this section of the country.
