A MoHAMMEDAN MOVEMENT.
Georgia Threatened With Colony of
Heathens.

We see statement in the press dis
patches that the apostle A. r. Webb,
formerly United States consul to the
Philippine Islands, but who some years
ago renounced the Christian faith and be-
came a Mohammedan, is engaged in
buying large tracts of land in Georgia,
Florida and Alabama, establishing colo
MES of Mohammedans in this section. He
declares that he is acting I'm Ter the au-
thorty of wealthy Mohammedans in In
dia, who are interested in the movement.
He claims that his and their object in
buying these lands is to improve them
and to establish various industries.
We do not know how much truth there
is in this statement, telegraphed recent
~ from New York, but we do know that
these proposed Islamite colonies will not
be very acceptable additions to our
southern population and that we would
be better off without them.
There is doubtless some other object
behind this movement than the plausi-
bic one indicated in the dispatch The
rue object of the movement, we think, is
to establish the proposed colonies, in or
der that they May serve as nuclea for the
ropagalion of the Mohammedan ith.
Webbs purpose, as announced by him.

Prison Consumption.

The Joliet Daily Times speaking of
the Illinois penitentiary at Joliet says:
DR.. Nj. Gushing, the prison physician,
is the first to undertake to arrest the
ravageS of consumption among the pris-
OnerS, in scientific manner. and his
success has been remarkable. 1t is
strange that till DR.. CuShing's admins
tratiOn of the prison medical depart
ment, nothing was ever done to prevent
the ravageS of this terrible malady.
When he took hold, glance at the
mortality record and an observation of
the diseases prevailing among the pris-
OnerS, convinced him at once that con-
the cOnvictS at an alarming rate-cOn-
but acquired by contact with consump-
tives within the prison walls. PrOsecu-
ting his investigation, he found that the
germs of the deadly cOntagiOn, left by
numerous diseased convicts who have
died from year to year, infested every
cell in the prison and that no effort had
been made to eXtirpate them, nor even
to prevent the eating, sleeping and
working together of cOnSumptive priS-
oners, with healthy ones. 1t was no.
ticeable that strong, healthy. robust
prisoners, confined for time, became
consumptive and the cause as already
stated, was soon discovered by DR.. Cush-
ing, who at once set about inaugurating
a remedy. His plan was to thoroughly
revOlutioniZe the sanitary condition of
the cells, destroy the germs of cOnsump-
ton left by dead and diseased convlcts
mixed up indiscriminately with healthy
prisoners and to promptly arrest the
farther progress of the destructive con-
tagiOn by system of isolating all con-
sumptives from the other convicts, aft
er thorough scientific destruction of
the germs of consumption left so long
to work their ravages upon the impris-
Oned cOnvicts.

With all this talk of Arctic and Ant
arctic research now filling the air in
scientific circles. why should not the
United States take active steps to ac-
quire knowledge of that bleak land ly-
ing to our extreme north? The eternal
fitness of things, if the republic is main
tanned, points to the unifcation of the
North American continent under one
head, even as eXpediency and fitness has
consolidated the interests of all those
states south of the British possessions.
If such uniiicatiOn of North American
interests takes place, would it not be
wise of our national governm ent to
discover if possible the utility of that
vast unknown land?
The idea advanced by Robert Stein,
of the United States geological survey,
of cOlonizing these frigid wilds by
chains of explorative and observatory
posts. might be considerably enlarged
by giving life prisoners throughout the
states an option of spending ten years
on this far Off frontier Of an advancing
civilization. From these optional ex-
lies could be selected men of intelli-
gence and physique accustomed to the
rigors of our northern winters, and thus
enabled the better to hold those north
ern forts against King Cold. Their To-
cation would be prison enough. for
every ship going into those ATTITUDES
could be kept track of and every settler
recorded. BY this means double pur-
pose would be served. The men them
selves would become useful to society
instead of drawbacks, and by life of
stern conflict with circumstances be-
come self-reliant and reformed of all
hOmicidal tendencies through knowl-
edge of the sweetness of life Thus, as
Mr.. Stein has suggested, slowly by steady
sapping and approach the fortress of
the Pole might be reached. The practi-
cal value of reaching the Pole is of the
most chimerical kind; but valuable dis
cOveries of minerals might amply repay
any cost or outlay besides giving men
of energy and will-pOwer means of
working out their own salvation and
becoming again valuable members of
society.

kind that they have acquired thorough
insight into by practical experience
How much can the average illiterate
know of platform, men and principles !?
He is dependent on hearsay for infor
nation on these subjects, and unless he
is a loafer or tramp, he can not have
much time to lose hunting up reliable
sources of information. And, if he is a
loafer or tramp, he, too, is criminal
against society. An ignorant man is at
the mercy Of professional politician,
whose business is to get votes by hook
or by crOok-whOse methods are more
than doubtful, and who has reduced the
science of lying to an exactitude. He
will endOw his candidate with all hui
man virtues and several characteristics
which would make the angels veil their
faces in humble shame at their unwOr-
thiness AS both parties are represented
by these immaculate conceptions of a
too florid imagination, the voter is as
badly off as if he knew nothing Then he
votes hap-hazard, or having no knowl-
edge, preference or intelligently guided
morality, sells his vote to the highest
bidder.
Does not such system put pre-
MUM on ignorance? The Constitution
never contemplated the right of voting
as an article of trade and barter. The
great minds who formulated that great
platform of liberty did not, nor could
they in their lofty souls, conceive of "a
man with soul so dead as to sell his
birth-right for a few glasses of whisky
or quarts of beer.
If statisticians are correct and the
criminals are mostly recruited from the
utterly or semi-illiterate classes, it be-
hOoves society to force education or to
attach a penalty to ignorance. 1t is
more than possible that he who will not
learn for learning's sake, will not take
the trouble for the paltry price that
common voting cattle are usually
quoted at. If it were made pre-re-
quisite to voting that a man Tor woman)
should be able to read the Constitution
and write out legible synopsis of its
principles, every one who cast vote
would do so knowingly. The price of
votes would rise and the Doodle to be
expended would make the game not
worth the candle. The machine would
die of starvation. The voice of the
ward-heeler would cease to poison the
air with its malodOrus pungency. The
ballots cast would be intelligent express
sions of opinion, and that terrible en-
CINE of oppression, political pull, would
cease to exist.

THE PRISON MIRROR is weekly pa

per published in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t
was founded in 1887 by the cOnvictS and is edited
and managed by them. Its objects are: to be a
home newspaper to encourage moral and intel
lectual improvement among the prisoners to
acquaint the public with the true status of the
prisoner; to disseminate pathological infOrma-
ton. and to aid in dispelling that prejudice
which has ever been the bar sinister to a fallen
mans self-redemptiOn. The paper is entirely
dependent on the public for its financial sup
port. If at any time there should accrue sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests of the prison library.
