should not be to accumulate the wealth
Of the world, at the sacrifice of honor,
Christian feeling, and the suffering of
his fellow man, but that they should be
pure and noble, and become examples
for the youth to be guided by; and
you will find by working along this

AN Exchange, in replying to the
query of contemporary as to "who is
the editor of THE PRISON MIRROR %
says: Ellis name is Grimes, and he is
the editor in chief, reporter, sporting
editor and silent editor all combined -
and asks, IF there is man on earth who
envies him his job" We hope not, but
if there is one outside, who does, he can
make an exchange without bonus
unless he is at present holding down
some paper; we draw the line at
journalism, even in freedom. Yet, we
have one advantage our contemporaries
have not: we cannot be sued for SANDER;
no man is cunning us for taking his
name in vain; and we have no divorce
cases to write up that would turn our
paper into fifteen cent novel. Truly;
there is much to envy even in Still

THE Pioneer Press in a recent issue
says:
'The events of the opening session
of Congress show that the Senate is
not wholly oblivious to public opinion.
Thick as the skin of that body which
has so repeatedly denied and defied the
wishes of the people, it could not be
insensibIe to the blows rwered upon
it, from every quarter within the last
year and a half. The Senate OF the
Uuited States has been held up to pub
lie scorn and reprobation both at home
and abroad. 1t has painted the severest
morals for the student of political his
tory. 1t has served as a text for de-
nunciation on the stump. 1t has stood
in good stead when our friends across
the water wanted to make sure of the
decadence of American institutions
and to clinch their argument by point
ing to an awful example. However
callous men may become in public life
they can scarcely bear the weight of
such universal condemnation without
wincing."
The Pioneer Press is right, yet, few
die, none resign; and people will con
tinue to place just such men in office
year after year. Is it not crime tC
rob from the entire nation to give tC
a few favored trusts? Cannot our laws
reach these national robbers? If not
it is high time laws were framed that
would be applicable.

"DOEs man inherit criminal propen-
sities'' seems to be agitating the minds
of certain class of thinkers, and if
we read Alright recent article in
one of our exchanges, the writer would
lay the primary cause of all crime to
those who bore the criminal, and rec
ommends prenatal culture as means
of cure. Now we do not know much
about phrenology, nor have we devoted
much thought to physiological re-
searches, and will admit that hygienic
principles are always applicable and
cannot be too rigidly enforced; but we
do take exceptions to the writer's argu
ment that crime is of prenatal origin
and call upon the criminal records
of this country in support of our ex-
ceptions. 1t is a weak argument to
cite the execution Of the two unfortu-
nate young fellows who were recently
hung in St. Paul, as an example, by
which some of the purest and sweetest
mothers and the most exemplary faith
ers are to be held accountable for the
sins of their offspring; and this writer,
must be either phrenologically mad, or
densely ignorant of the home surround
ings of the average convict True,
many of the inmates confined in our
penal institutions are the progeny of
vicious parents; perhaps running
through three or four generations; but
the great majority are from christian
homes, whose parents are honorable
God-fearing people; to whose name a
suspicion Of crime cannot be laid
Were this writer to 60 through the
different penal institutions of this
country, and trace the origin of theil
inmates he might find food for thought
that if practically applied, would have
a greater tendency toward the eradica
ton of crime, then all the chronological
theories of the would be reformers
in the land. The greatest crimes ever
committed in the history of the world
