The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1892-04-14

There is too much admODishing of young
people of the brevity of life. It would be
better to impress upon young people that
life is long and that unless they begin early
making provision for it the latter end may
be quarter of century of helpless old age
spent in misery and vain regrets. The
young are very much inclined to look upon
life as too short to be spent in drudging for
a competence. To say. ''Give me a short
life and merry one'' sounds very brave.
and would be all right if life and merriment
would end together. but usually they do not.
They are very apt to be succeeded by long
life and sorry one. The penitentiaries
are full of those who started out to have a
jolly time all the time. ut is never too
late to mend" is a good maxim. but time
comes when thing is too far gone to be
worth mending.

Another one of those painful discussions
in which the veracity of prominent men is
being impugned is now going on between
Hon. G. C. Gorham and Senator John
Sherman. Senator Sherman in an address
on the life of his illustrious brother, Gen.
Sherman. refers to some incidents in his
military career that throw shadow on the
fame of other leaders of civil war days.
Mr.. Gorham resents the charges and pro-
duces documentary evidence of an unlm-
peachable nature that makes Senator Sher-
man appear as willful perverter of the
truth. This is bad, for when such men
men who are looked up to as the embodi-
ment Of honor-are held up as falsiiers it
leads one to ask if there really are no
wholly truthful people. We do not mean
to say that the great Senator is perverter
of the truth--only that it has been made to
so appear. 1t is unfortunate that the old
wounds of the Rebellion cannot be allowed
to stay closed.

TO THE PUBLIC.

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly paper pub.
1ished in the Minnesota state prison. All matter
pubIished in its columns is contributed by the
inmates. except that properly credited. Its sup
port must come from the outside as every inmate
Is given paper without cost. 1t is published in
the interest of the prison library and after paying
for the printing outfit, contributed $3.50 to the
library fund the first year. Its objects are to en-.
courage individual intellectual effort provide a
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other
prisons. and. above ALL to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
its inner life and thus aid the Of moral ad.
vancement and prison reform.

Just mOdestly declined an offer of 500. 900
as business manager of one of the great
New York city dailies. Had he been born
rich the probabilities are that by this time a
tender of his services would not be accepted
as sweeper in the great establishment
over which he has been asked to preside.
The prosperity that men enjoy is that
which they can look upon as the creation
of their own talents. The self made man
is made the butt of much ironcal humor.
yet he is the most self satisfied man in the
world, and that is the. ultima thule of hui
man ambition.

Hardly day goes by on which the news.
papers do not announce the discovery of
another murder chargeable to Deeming, the
supposed Jack the Ripper now on trial
in Australia for the killing of his wife.
The claim of Deeming's lawyers that he
is lunatc is being sternly opposed and a
number of physicians testify that he is per
fectly sane. If the man is guilty OF one
tenth of the fiendish crimes of which he is
accused. for the sake of the human species
all men should consent that the man is q
mOnstrOsity.

Convict Labor in Ohio.

A bill has been introduced in the Ohio
legislature to regulate convict labor. The
bill is brief and to the point. Here it is:
"That the total number of prisoners and
inmates employed at one time in the peni-
tentiaries. warehouses and refOrmatOres of
this state in the manufacture of any one kind
of goods manufactured in this state outside
of said penitentiaries. warehouses and re-
formatories shall not exceed per centum
of the number of all persons in this state
outside of said penitentiaries. warehouses
and reformatories employed in manufacture
ing the same kind of goods. as shown by
the last federal census or state enumera-
ton, except in industries in which not more
than fifty free labOrers are employed"
The act to take effect and be in force
after it's passage.

ing the approaches, is three miles long.

The editor of THE PRISON MIRROR COM
plains that the foremost advocates of prison
reform take no interest in his paper, and
wonders why their names are not on his
mailing list. The reason they do not ap-
pear on his list is obvious; the editor does
not put them on. but how can we send
them paper when they do not subscriber"
is asked. That is answered just as easily.
Place them on the free list!-The Summary.
The editor of the Summary has mistaken
the tenor of our article. We did not COM
plain and only wrote of the matter as being
significant of something in human nature
just little beyond the reach of our COM
prehensiOn. Everyone must admit that the
prison newspaper is great innovation, one
that has attracted wide public attention and
been commented upon all around the world.
and yet has failed to attract little if any
notice from our own theoretical ''prison
refOrmers." The article was not com.
plant in any sense. and we object to hav-
ing The MIRROR placed in such a light.
We have since discovered why the fore
most advocates of prison reform" have
passed the prison paper by. Being hobby
riders, they have in their deep abstraction
placed the blind brides upon their own
heads instead of upon those of their lig
neous chargers. The hobbies will stumble
and fall some day when perhaps the riders
will wake to discover that they have been
grasping the hobby's tail instead of its
name. and thus have been carried away
from instead of to the place started for.
'Pace them on the free list?" Never. nc

A newspaper joke in Russia is very
serious affair. The Car recently sent a
had perpetrated joke in his paper. to
Siberia for the offense. The Press Censor,
who had either overlooked the joke or had
failed to discover its point, was sent along
to keep them company. They were all
three sentenced for life. That is rather a
hard sentence for failing to read news
paper joke. and the Censor is deserving OF
public sympathy and a share in the Russian
relief fund. The editor and the funny MAI
possibly deserved their fate.-The National
Journalist.

We often speak of mans head as his
NOODLE but most persons do so without
thinking why it is so called. The dictiOn-
airy tells us that it is because the head is the
part of the body with which we nod. The
dictionary is very amusing as we'll as an
interesting and instructive book to read.
