They Are Calculated to Confirm I'm
Vice, Not Regenerate.
If the leading object of Incarceration were
punishment-that Is, injury to the individual
most of cur prisons are admirably adapted
to their end. For the worst punishment that
can be inflicted upon a person is to confirm
him in evil ways, and to make him worse
than he is. In doing this, society takes the
place of the ingenious Satan. Our machin-
ery which catches hold of In offender and
draws him into the circuit Of its education is
calculated to confirm him in his tendencies.
and make him a professional criminal. 1t is
rare that the jail and penitentiary influences
are such as to improve him in any way, ex-
cept occasionally in his physical condition.
The advantage to a criminal of confinement
is that abstinence and a regular life may
improve his health: but better moral
habits will not be formed in him unless the
authority to which he is subjected is con-
concerned in the effort to educate him into a
better life. 1t does not need any argument
to show that if the men put in charge Of him
are selected not for their fitness for their
difficult duties, but are chosen by the politi-
cal machine on account OF their service to
the machine, the prisons will be run without
intelligent reference to the reformation OF
the criminals. Sometimes our prisons are
honestly managed by the pohtlclans, but
never when politics interferes are they con-
Quoted either with regard to economy for the
taxpayers. or in the moral interests of the con-
demned. So that there has never been the
least hope for prison reform, nor will there
aver be until the prisons are taken out of
politics" Public opinion has compelled the
State to build better jails, to pay more atten-
ton to sanitary measures, and to conduct
them more ~humanely, but the manufacture
Of confirmed criminals goes on in the old
way, and only here and there is any effort
made for the permanent change of their
habits. That change will not come SO long
as the prisons are merely places OF confine-
ment, and for giving situations to political
workers.-HaapeS's Magazine for April.

POoP'Os
TOUCHES JM's oCKET
ssThis bill avowedly taxes one man for the
! private benefit of another That is
why I oppose this infamous proposition to-
! day, and shall continue to oppose it until
such time as it shall either be forced upon US
by sheer weight of numbers, or we shall be
freed by returning reason from the gravest
danger which has confronted the Democratic
party since the days of James Buchanan.
THAT sir, is all / have to say upon this
| subject at this time. But, in justice to my
party, my State, and myself, L cannot leave
any room for misapprehension. the Demo
cratic party is under a distinct obligation to
confer the boon of tariff reform upon the
American people. We cannot hope to over
come the present discussions and fulfil this
| obligation unless we beat down all attempts
to create discord within the ranks, and strive
earnestly for party harmony. With unity OF
/, action we shall succeed. Without it we
must fail. We cannot perform our duty as
democrats by malignlng each other by max
ing wanton attacks upon a Democratic Ad-
ministration.
Our duty is plain. The country demands,
and is entitled, to prompt and decisive &C
ton. The time is ripe for quick and per-
manent recovery from business depression.
Industry and prosperity wait upon the acts
of this body. Now, if ever, we should meet
the situation with courage and ask ourselves
whether this bill, as it stands today can be
| passed by Democratic votes. 1t is a time for
plain-speaking, and l do not hesitate to ex-
press my own conviction that this is inn
possible. ST
.We cannot enact a Democratic measure
until we return to Democratic principles.
Eliminate the Socialist, income tax, reform
the schedules to conform with the doctrine
of a tariff for revenue, grant to our indus
tries sufficient protection to guarantee their
maintenance on the basis of American wages
and before this month shall have ended,
tariff reform will cease to be the will-of-the-
wisp it is today and will be enacted, by the
united votes of fofty-four Democratic
Senators, into the law of the land.
