WASHINGTON, d. c.. June 21.-West
Virginia has missed her chance to get
one of the Assistant Attorney General
ships, as the place which the President
to-day gave to Mr.. Charles B. Howrey,
Of Mississippi, was the one which he
some time ago offered to Hon. c. Wood
Daley, and which the latter declined.
After the latter's declnation, Senator
Faulkner did all in his power to secure
the place for another West Virginian,
and the President seemed inclined to
accede to the Senator's request, but the
urgent appeals OF tho Mississippi Sena-
tors and members of Congress In behalf
Of Mr.. Howrey, appeared TO have been
too strong for the President to resist.
Col. Ben Wilson, of Clarksburg, was
at one time a candidate for one Of the
Assistant Attorney Generalships and
was backed by Representative Pendle-
ton, but some days ago Colonel Wilson
made up his mind he could not afford to
take the place il It were offered him
and so wrote to the President with
drawing his name from consideration.
Senator Faulkner was in the city to-day
and saw the President and Postmaster
General Bissell.
FEW APPLICATIONS.

ginla applications for Office received at
the Treasury Department in the month

portance were received and filed by the

for heart-rending sketches and stories, are not
more horrible than those inflicted upon and suf-
fered by the convcts of the South. The barbara
ties of which these are the victims are disgrace
to the United States and to nineteenth century
civilization. DracO's code was held to be severe,
and for many centuries it has been condemned,
because it prescribed death as the penalty for
every Offense. In effect the criminal codes of
the southern commemorative are just as rigid,
for they make felOnies of what in the north are
simple misdemeanOrs, and by consigning the
convicted to the penitentiary consign them to a
drudgery which means death. Hanging is a
mild punishment compared to that which is en-
dured by the wretches condemned to toll in
southern chain gangs.

THE SUBJECT OF PARDoNs.

The comments of the public press i'm
this and other states during the past
few years, upon the question of execu-
tive pardOns. have taken wide range
and served to illstill into the minds of
the people, to some extent. the idea
that the practice of granting pardons
to criminals in occasional cases is
wrong. and tends to remove from the
minds of the criminally inclined the
fear and dread of punishment. This
doctrine, we think, is entirely erro-
neOus, and unjuStly criticises the law
OF provision granting the pardoning
power, and the executive who uses it.
"A few years experience has served to
convince us, and we think similar ex-
perience, or proper investigation of
the subject, would convince any fair
minded man, that d large percentage
of the inmates of our prisons are more
unfortunate than wicked. Crime is
not bred IN the bone. If it were, then
the criminal would be entirely irrespon-
sible; and, besides, crime would not be
SO largely confined to the lower walks
of life. We believe that Justice is not
unforgiving; that sincere repentance or
suitable punishment for gwen offense
does not always require the lapse of a
given number of years, months and
days; and that the cases are not rare in
which convict may be restored to So
ciety as good citizen by the granting
of executive pardon. That pardons
may be, and no doubt sometimes are,
granted without good and sufficient
cause, we admit; but we firmly believe
that executives are more likely to err
in the Withholding than in the granting

TO MAKE WORK EASY.

Ii difficult task must be performed,
it will not do to have the mind dis
turbed. The greatest hindrances to the
successful performance of any task
possible to the one undertaking it are
doubt, fear and worry. If the faculties
are held calmly to their work, the feel
ings kept in their proper place, the in
tellect unclouded, the will firm, and, of
first moment, faith in ones self un-
shaken, success is assured. TO be ready
for all emergencies we must form the
habit of doing in the best manner the
present task. A great deal of good
work is done by men and women so
Overpowered with perplexity, with sor-
row, with poverty, with sickness. that
if they stopped to take an inventory of
their powers and the obstacles in their
way, they would have no heart to I'M
dertake what is set for them to do.
Clergymen preach, and orators speak,
and editors write, with aching heads.
with feverish pulses, with trembling
limbs, and no trace of physical infirmi-
ty appears in their achievements Men
and women in the quiet walks of life
walk steadily and well, though bearing
heavy burdens of pain, and WEAKNESS
and care, and when the task is done
naught remains to testify that in trem-
bling and weakness the labor was per-
formed. 1t is easy enough to say that
one should not overtask his strength.
that he should not draw upon tO-mOr-
row for the expenditure of to-day; but

Of pardons. OF the number of cOnvicts
that have been pardOned during the
time we have been connected with this
prison, we have yet to learn of the first
instance when the person pardoned has
returned to life of crime, or made
himself amenable to law. We trust
the day is very far in the future, when
the people or the press Of Minnesota
will advocate any change in the law Of
pardons that shall by restricting the
prerogative) make it less effective than
it now is. The good things of this
world are very unevenly distributed.
The palace and the howell are not un-
frequently upon the same block in our
cities, or in close proximity in the
country. Overlooking granaries con-
stantly meet the gaze Of the half
starved children Of the poor, and the
rejOicings of plenty are never harshly
grating upon the ears of the furnishing
and the distressed. The wonder is not
the instances of crime are SO frequent,
but rather that they are not much more
frequent Many are weak to resist
temptation who are not wholly bad.
Such should be encouraged to the per
Torrance of good deeds and the leading
of a better life; and, so far as the par
dOning power may be means to such
encouragement, we sincerely hope that
it's exercise will never be refused.

THE DASTARDLY EDWARDS

The mayor OF Little Rock, Ark, has
placed the officials of the penitentiary
of that state under arrest for allowing
sick cOnvicts to go to work. 1t is now
claimed that the large number of deaths,
which have recently occurred in that
prison, were not caused by "arsenical
poison but by cholera. Our esteemed
contemporary the Dubuque Telegraph,
referring to this piece of nineteenth
century barbarism, says:

of any favorable termination to his
present alarming condition. To-day it
was said that he was more like his old
self than he has been for long time
past, but there is no telling how long
any such state of affairs can be kept up.

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly pa

Der 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 a sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests Of the prison library.
