/ THE IRISH CONVENTION.

Of fly the Dublin correspondent Of the
Catholic Mirror:
The coming gathering or convention in
Chicago may do considerable good II It
acts wisely. # it simply INDUCES In
tall talk about fighting Great Britain
with the resources Of modern civilization
because the opponents Of Home Rule for
Ireland have won victory at the polls
it will do some harm, The men ts who
speedily and write about blowing
British warshtps out Of the water and
other such nonsense will never do any
such things. If the convention directs
its attention TO secure unity among the
people Of Ireland, to direct them 10 obey
the rule Of the majority along lines OF
constitutional action, It will accomplish
much. Constitutional action has given
Ireland hand laws today more favorable
bile to the tenant farmer than those Of
any other country in the world save two
Iof the Australian colonies. Manhood
suffrage practically prevails. IN Ireland.

REPORTING A CRIMINAL

The question has often been discussed
whether or not person Is born aNcrim-
final, that is, one who has uncontrollable
tendencies in the direction Of crime, Or
whether crime is the result OF evil asso-
ciates. careless culture or the lack of
culture. In the last annual report OF
Supt. Lee, Of the state reformatory, an
instance is cited of one Joseph Madden,
1, prisoner from Stearns county, whose
conduct in the reformatory was yery
good and In consequence he was par0lled
In 1892, after serving two years for burg
larry. He was out but two months when
he was brought back, Of course for an
infringement of the law. In February,
1854, he was again paroled, but he again
violated the conditions and was captured
in Denver and returned to the reform
atory in July Of that year. Last May
he was again paroled but in five days he
was back again doing time"
n Would not the record Of this man show
that the commission Of crime was with
him something In the nature OF disease,
IL not an actual disease itself, similar
to the uncontrolled desire for liquor IN
some persons which latter day physi-
clans do not hesitate to pronounce a
disease. but which may be cured under
proper treatment? In the case OF Mad
den experience must have taught him
that in violating the conditions OF the
parole he would certainly be returned to
prison and yet he violated them, He e
loved his freedom and consequently
dreaded imprisonmenta and yet when the
evil impulse seized him he readily yield
ed to 1t, knowing as he must that the
prison would be his portion FOR the VIC
slatioa,. This repetition Of the parole
would seem like trying to make a man
better and happier against his will, but
as the idea Of a penal statute IS not re-
venge but the protection Of society, and
If possible the reformation of the individ-
ual. the leniency extended in the hope
Of reclaiming the culprit should be en-
couraged even if many experiments were
far from being satisfactory.
