The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1895-05-02

WITH this issue, we publish the last
chapters of the interesting paper de-
livered by Mr.. Hardy Of Lincoln Neb..
before the Chautauqua convention held
at Chicago. These papers were pre-
pared by Mr.. I. II. Leavitt of Lincoln,
a gentleman who has devoted much
time and thought to Chautauqua work
in prisons. THE MIRROR is under MANY
obligations to the gentleman for the
kind permission to publish the same.
In our next issue we shall give COM
plete history of the prison school from
its inception to date; also, our Pierian
circle; and trust The MIRROR readers,
who are interested in the higher educa
ton and development of the states
wards will find the same interesting.

mysteries Of Crime" is the title of
an article in the San Francisco Argo-
maui of April Doth which is particular
ly timely just now when the entire Pa
cifc Coast is talking about the En-
manuel Church murders. The article
cites some of the strangest murders in
the history of crime, especially those in
which circumstantial evidence has had
a leading part.

w ltdu VI CTlulGS UudU are SO re-
Voting, that the average mind is stun
ned at their recital, and we wonder at
the nerve man must possess to COM
NIT the-,. But is it really nerve? Is
it not on the contrary the most abject
coward who commits the most heinous
offence? Where is the evidence of
nerve in the man who will lure the
helpless, defenseless woman to ruin and
then murder her to conceal his crime.
San F:ancisco's police chief in an inter-
view, regarding one of the most
abominable butcheries in the history
of criminal annals, recently committed
in that city, in speaking of the per-
petrator says: "In view of the terrible
nature of the crime, for which this
man is held responsible, he is the peer
of all in GOODNESS and power of self
control" Now why is this so? Simply
because the brutal bloody instinct that
inspired him to commit the act still pos
sesses him, or he is innocent. But when
he is confronted with all the evidences
of his terrible crime: when the moment
arrives and he stands before Justly in
dignant people and realizes that his
life must pay the forfeit for his brutali-
ty, where will his splendid nerve be, if
he be human? There have been in
stances. and no doubt will be, where
men have assembled the scaffOld with a
smile upon their lips. met death with
out tremOr, but these men were in
sane, or they were not human. They
were brutes and never did possess hui
man feelings. Turn these same men
loose upon society and they would
shrink and cover before the gaze of
the truly honest man. They would
not face an honest, upright, manly
character in any capacity. A super
stitious feeling of some unforeseen &C
cident about to happen them continual
ly haunts them; both daylight and
darkness would have it's terrors for
them. 1t may require nerve to enter
house in the dead of night for the
purposes of plumber, but let this same
man be captured, handcuffed and
paraded through the streets by an Off
Ger, and he will hang his head and
cringe. he is afraid of being seen. Take
two men, one accused of crime of
which he is guilty, the other accused of
crime of which he knows he is inno-
cent; place them both in charge of an
officer and walk them through the
streets, then mark the difference be-
tween the two. Every act and look of
the guilty man will condemn him; his
look; his hanging head, his shutting
gait; his desire to avoid observation;
his anxiety to be out of sight. The in
nocent man will stroll easily along
with his guard, chat pleasantly, notice
things as he passes, look for friendly
nod from some passing acquaintance.
When a man is innocent of crime he
cares not if he be surrounded by police
men, he is brave in the knowledge of
his moral innocence; while the guilty
man is a coward and plainly shows his
moral deficiency. A criminal can show
] splendid nerve in tha commission of a

sion upon legislative body. That age
has passed, if it ever existed, but these
things must be, and that $500 per day
he wanted, and we hope he will get it
again. He is worth $500 per minute
for his freedom from hypocrisy.

THE NLRROR is weekly paper published
In the Minnesota State Prison. 1t was founded

improvement among the prisoners; to acquaint

the bar sinister to fallen mans self-redemptOn
The paper is entirely dependent on the public for
its financial support. If at any time there should
