ED OBRIEN will not take in the At
lanta exposition as he says his editorial
duties on THE Prison MIRROR will
require his constant presence at home.
saltwater Gazette, Official Paper of
Washington Co.
May the good Lord make us devoutly
thankful for the above paragraph.
Bro. Easton you have relieved us of a
load of responsibility that was making
us hump backed. Life was burden,
weary journey on an arid desert, but
noao all is changed pathway is
strewn with flowers and penitentiary
life that once was as dark as moonless
night is filled with the happiness that
is known only to those whose hearts
are free from every care. Now can we
face our comrades with brave front,
and when they angrily demand why we
mutilated their contributions by culling
the sweet flowers of rhetoric and leav-
ing only the weeds of prosaic fact, we
can say, eve didn't do it, it was the
editor-in 'front.'" Those of our COM
rades who have taken exceptions at
what did or did not appear in the
columns Of THE MIRROR and were
wont to consign the (reputed) editor to
that place which Ingersoll says exists
only in the imagination of diseased
minds, will again receive us as friend
and put the blame where it rlghtfully
belongs. Yes. things are coming our
way, Bro. Easton, and we owe it all to
you. Believe us, we are not migrate
full. You shall always have our best
wishes. May the Gazette prosper until
you can point to subscription list as
large as, as-THE MIRRORS. And may
you retain in full vigor your wonderful
power of imagination-so necessary to
editors of official organs and an ac-
complishment in which you excel
until called hence to that land where
all good editors go.

THERE is man in Montana who
robbed another of $40 and revolver
who can boast of his deed without fear
of the penitentiary, as the one who was
robbed will never willingly appear as a
prosecuting witness in the case. Two
masked robbers at Butte, Mont, at

saloOnkeeper in miners boarding

promptly knocked down one of the
fellows, took his gun away from him
and went through his pockets, secur-
ing so. The Would-be robbers got

reception was cold-no, hot would be
the better word. They threw lead and
iron at us with the evident intention
of doing us great bodily injury, and
showed by every means in their power
that our company was not desired.
The little unpleasantness that existed
in those days is now happily adjusted,
and our brethren of the press will be
received with open arms and filled with
refreshing drinks instead of cold lead
which is as it should be.

ARRIVALS, none; discharged on ex-
piration Of sentence, 21; executed, 1;
pardoned, 1.-Ohio Penitentiary News.
One pardoned, one executed. Here,
told III line, are the extremes of JOY
and grief that is typical of life. One
goes out from prison happy at the
thought that the days of his degraded
servitude are over. The other leaves
his prison cell for the unknown world
that is entered by the portal we call
death. One goes out to freedom with
sparkling eyes and bright hopes of the
future. The other, with tear-dimmed
eyes and heart filled with anguish, pre-
pareS for the dread ordeal that will
usher him into eternity.

THE injustice of courts is eXemplified
in the case of Andrew Hudgepath who
was murdered by due process of law at
Harrison, Arkansas, about two years
ago. Prejudice and perjury secured
his conviction, and Hudgepath was
swung from the galloWs into eternity
protesting his innocence to the last;
and that he was innocent was established
beyond doubt later on by the return of
the man supposed to have been MUIR
dered. 1t would seem that the law
which had unjustly taken this mans
life had duty to perform to his family.
His widow is now living in an old
tent by the roadside few miles from
Wagner, |. T., where she is struggling
to exc out miserable existence for
herself and children among strangers
and receiving no assistance from those
who were instrumental in depriving
her and her children Of their natural
protector AS the children grow up in
poverty and ignorance and hear the
story of their fathers death from the
lips of their mother. will they not har
Dor thoughts of vengeance and set the
law at acknowledging from false
premises that they are justified in max
ing war upon society? We believe
that our laws are as fairly administered
as those of any country in the world
and that our judges are as conscien-
tious men as can be found anywhere,
but our legal machinery sometimes slip
a cog as in the above case.

THE MIRROR is weekly paper published

THE MIRROR is a weekly paper published
In the Minnesota State Prison. 1t was founded
in 1887 by the prisoners and is edited and man
aged by them. It's objects are to be a home
newspaper: to encourage moral and intellectual
improvement among the prisoners; to acquaint
the public with the true STATUS ofthe prisoner;
to disseminate pathological information and to aid
in dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
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
accrue a surplus of funds. the money would be
expended in the interests of the prison library.

One would scarcely expect the story
of the making of pair of equestrian
statues of Lincoln and Grant to be as
interesting as piece of fiction; but
this it truly proves to be in McChure's
Magdzi7ae for October, where Mr.. Cleve-
land Moffett describes the long and
patient labors of the artists O'DonOvan
and Eakins, first in the collection and
study of documents and the discovery
of suitable living models for horse and
rider, and then in the actual modelling
of the life-size statues lately completed
by them for the Brooklyn memorial
arch. A description is also given of
the work of the founders in casting the
models in bronze; and a succession Of
pictures, from special photographs, ex-
hibits the entire operation of modelling
and casting, from the very beginning
down to the finished bronze casts. A
granddaughter of the poet Keats, Mr..
John Gilmer Speed, takes note, in the
same number, of the centenary of the
poets birth, in paper written from
original letters and manuscripts in his
possession. He presents Keats in a
new, and what one feels is much
truer light than some of the biOgra-
piers have shown him in. The paper
is illustrated with portraits from origi-
nails made from life and now owned,
most of them. by Mr.. Speed. Mr.. J.
r. Gilmore ("Edmund Kirke') tells
how the office of the New Y ork Tribune
was armed against the mob that as
sailed it at the time of the New York
draft riots. 1t is dramatic history,
and written from personal experience;
for Mr.. Gilmore himself procured the
arms and conveyed them into the
Tribune office. Another newspaper
article written largely from personal
experience is Mr.. James Creelmans
account of the London Times, and it's
development, character and policy I'M
der the mastership of three succeeding
John Walters, the last of whom, short
ly before his death, revised Mr.. Creel-
mans paper. The quality of personal
experience gives special value to a
paper by Theodore Roosevelt, president
of the New Y ork Police Beard, on the
closing of the New York saloons on
Sunday; to a story of riding over an
earthquake in locomotive, by an
engineer, Cy Warman; and to Governor
Thayer's account of Gen. Grants alb
rupt removal from command at Pilot
Knob and his as abrupt restoration. So
much for that matter of-fact side of
this number of McClure's. 1t is no less
notable on the imaginative side, in
