PRISON SOUTH.


The board of trustees of the Prison South
held q meeting at Jacksonville yesterday.
which was attended by Governor Mat.
thews. Only matters of routine business
came before it. 1t elected DIR. Patten. of
Jeffersonviile. prison physician, and Rev.
Strauss. of that place, prison chaplain.
The Governor reported the condition OF
affairs at the prison ell that could be ex-
pectsd of it. and the work on the new wall
which is being erected as progressing in q
rapid manner. The wall. when completed
will be about 100 feet in length and %
in height. 1t is of solid stone masonry and
brick work. and will be covered with a
roof for the protection of the guards In
severe weather.
The Governor said that he made q tour of
inspection, n that he was importuned on
oil sides by the prisoners Tor pardons. One
case called to his attention was that of @
man named Ulysses Clark. who was sent
up for an eighteen months term for petit
larceny. about nine months ago. and who
Is gradually dying of consumption. The
Governor has written to his parents at
Terre Haut Q. andlf they are able and will
ing to take care Of him until he dies be will
be pardoned at once.
Atrollcallo on Monday night. which was at
tended by the Governor. it was found that
one of the convicts had escaped. He was q
life man and 10 known as a desperate char
actor. He had been employs ed on the con-
sJruction of the wall. and 1t was supposed
that he had stolen some citizens clothing
from out of one of the contractors rooms aud
slipped through the gate in that manner.
This 10 the fourth time that he has made
an attempt to break loose. He ran the
guards last winter. though they fired half
q hundred shots at HIM. got to the town,
and. drawing q huge knife that he had Sc
cured in some unaccOuntsble manner. cut
q horse loose from III express wagon and
got away on It. He was captured three or
four days later, having nearly frozen to
death in tho woods. Eight conyiots have
escaped from the Prison South within the
past year, and only three of them have
been recaptured.

Increase the Tariff on Luxaries.

To the Editor or Tie INDIANAPOLIS Journal:
The opinion is prevalent that the pres
ent unhappy financial condition of the
country was primarily caused by the ont
flow of gold to settle the balance of trade,
which has been for some time steadily
against us. Why not compel the return Of
this goldi Our imports consist In large
part of the luxurles of life which we can
do without, while our exports are princi-
pally the necessities OF life which the peo-
pie on the other side cannot DO without.
Why not raise the tariff so high on these
articles of luxury hat they cannot be i'm
portedf Will not Europe continue to take
from us the necessities of life. and the
balance of trade turn in our favor and our
gold return TO settle 1T IL this would re-
store confidence and enable the business of
the country TO go ahead again, would not
such legislation benefit the many poor,
while the few that are rich would suffer
but slight discomfort A. /. L.
