pressive circumstances. Oppressive it
is in the worst sense, and an exhibit
ton of cowardly enforcement of ira
dition that had it's origin in an age
when wife beating was also regarded
as an innocent amusement. 1t is cow
ardly because it is numbers against
the one or two who are weak. 1t is
dishOnOrable because it is the work
generally of sneaks. who have not the
manliness to avow themselves in any
fair, manly comparison of strength.
The most cruel and disagreeable exhi-
bition of this characteristic of the
sneaking tyrant, was recently given at
the University of the State of Missouri,
where one of the students was sub
jected to a most revolving course of
treatment that barbarians would them
selves hesitate to intlict upon power.
less victim. The penalties for such an
offense against all decency and honor
are entirely too mild. The punishment
due for simple assault and battery is
far too mild for such crimes as are
committed in the name of college haz-
ing. 1t ought to be made so odious,
through the walls of the penitentiary,
that it would be the lesson remembered
by the guilty long after all other
things fixed on their minds have lost
the faintest impression.-St Paul Dis

Civilization.
paper


A glance through the sermons report
ed for the week, reading of the news
papers, magazines and reviews, leads to
the belief that the world is improving.
People are better off. Civilization is
spreading, business is becoming more
systematic, education is becoming more
general The school house, the church
and the college are pushing into the
very frontier The spires, almost, cast
their shadows upon the retreating tepee
of the Indian. The results of the uni
versal education, that we have been so
long advocating in this country, are be-
ing worked out. Of course, there is a
danger in all this. Compensation ex-
acts penalties: but, perhaps, the penal
ties are so small that we need not mind
them. We want the civilization-its
comforts, it's glories, and it's Injuries
no matter what it costs. We are going
to be a Nation with an upper case n,
no matter at what sacrifice.
There will be some complaints, no
doubt. If there is extravaganza and
luxury, there will be waste and want.
If Business is to be the god, Mammon
will, at least, be prime minister. If COM
petition is to be closer, leisure will be
scarcer for the many. Civilization, with
scientific business methods, means more
complication and less simplicity. We
cannot have our cake and eat it. We
cannot, having made our election for
completely, consistently grumble at the
loss of simplicity. From the booming
organ and the highly finished grand
piano, we do not expect the lullaby
songs, that were so full of melody and
sweetness to us in a simpler age. We
are educating our sons and daughters;
and if they can learn to speak and think
beyond our old fashioned knowledge

A MAN in Kentucky has applied for
divorce, on the ground that he thought
his wife fifteen years of age when in
fact she was forty. The divorce should
be granted. A woman of the mature
age of forty who can makeup" as a
giddy thing of fifteen should not be tied
down by domestic ties, but should be
given an opportunity to display her tai
ents on the stage. The man could
make fortune by writing book on
what he knows about women.

while we wonder.

and who have given themselves up to it,
that he cannot really mean all that he
says. 1t is useless to tell men not to
worship Mammon, while My Lord Nam
mon is chief minister. 1t is absurd to
cry out against the love of wealth, when
it is the prime passion of every human
heart. They do not understand. They
think that the preacher is reviling the
rich. And who are the rich? Certain
ly those who are richer, much richer,
than those who hear the words. That
the poor man, or the "well off, man, or
the single millionaire, is meant when
the sermon against love of wealth is
made, is never for moment thought
Of Of course, the old fashion of preach
ing against wealth remains; but there
is the new Interpretation which our
higher Civilization Whose prime min
lister is Mammon) puts upon all things.
AS yet, there is no edict of our great
Lord against cursing the multi-million-
aires. There are not many of them.
Their love of wealth is, somehow, so
different from ours. We may picture
them as devil-fsh, with glistening dia-
mOnd eyes, that make us shudder with
horror or fear. They are, in fact, a
great convenience to us, in the unload
ing of our maledictions, and in the
saving of our consciences as we follow
the car of Business.
Let us join voices, therefore, in praises
of that splendid civilization that is
spreading throughout Christendom.
Let us swell the chorus that sounds to
the praises of Business, leaving the love
songs and the silly twaddle of sentiment
tally to those cOarser creatures who
have not learned that it is sinful to be
dancing in the sunlight of JOY and to be
laughing, in simplicity, at the shadows
-idling their time away in mere happi-
ness, when they might be engaged in
the noble pursuit of money getting in
the spreading of the gospel of civiliza-
tion.-Fargo IN. d. Argus.

IT SEEMS that the prison paper was
fully discussed at the National Prison
Congress. In the current issue of our
Paper, published in the Massachusetts
Reformatory, Chaplain w. j. Bait gives
the opinions of several gentlemen promi-
nent in penal work, on this subject, as
follows:
eve gave fortnight since, from the
recent Prison Congress, a brief treat
ment of the inquiry what prison pa
per should be. 1t may be of interest. if
we record here, some things that were
said upon the same topic, by other mem
bers of the Congress.
DIR. Wey, the prison surgeon of Ell.
mira, made the following points: A
prison paper should present clean di-
gest of important current news. Ere
quent editorials of a high class are i'm
portant. One good one is better than
half dozen weak paragraphs. Re-
views of good books would serve an
excellent purpose. HYGIENE articles,
properly prepared, would also be of
very great use. The doctor said he
would be very careful in the use of let
tiers from outside men, If any especial
ly good piece of work had been done
in the prison, he would notice it in the
paper. If a man had topped off a
chimney or other similar piece of brick
work in an especially fine way, or a
good piece of work had been done in the
Sloyd department, for instance, he
thought such facts might be referred
to with excellent effect in the paper.
He believed that such paper was capa-
BILE of exerting very large influence in
the prison for good.
Warden Chamberlain, of Jackson,
Mich, had never had paper in his
prison, but was we'll disposed toward
them, and inclined to their use. Mr..
Chamberlain is conservative man,
and even a few favorable words from
him: meant good deal.
Secretary Byers, of Ohio, spoke very
modestly of his own youth and inexpe-
rience. But he spoke highly of what a
prison paper might be- He thought
that it should be edited with especial
care, and that the "Wild West style of
selections, communications and articles,
should be studiously avoided.
Gen. Brinkerhoff, of Ohio, was of the
same mind, and thought that there were
some excellent papers published al
ready. He spoke especially of those
that are published in Ohio which al
ready have first-class reputation.
He emphasized the fact that especial
care is needed in the editing of such a
paper.
Chaplain j. H. Albert, of MINES ota,
thought that some of the papers that
are published would gain if they made
more careful note of the sunday SER
vices held in the prison. He thought
that the prison paper should be charac-
terized by an uplifting force.
Mr.. Brockway, of Elmira, approved
the paper read, just as we gave it re-
Gently in these columns. He was
urged to add something thereto, but
said expressly and carefully that he
thought the main points were well
covered in that paper, and he agreed
with them all, just as stated.
Nothing unfriendly was said. Appar-
emily every one believed in good prison
paper"

In an interesting and highly instruct
i've article, Edward S. Martin, in the
October Ladies' Home Journal, reviews
the numerous theories advanced by
scientists in the endeavor to solve the
perpleXing problem as to exact location
of the site of the Garden of Eden.
After sitting the theories the writer
concludes that the question is no nearer
answered than it was two thousand
years ago, and that there are no present
indications that the matter will ever be
definitely settled by any man. To one
of the latest and most ingenious
theories Mr.. Martin thus refers: The
North Pole will seem at first thought
to the average investigator the most
unlikely site on earth for Paradise to
have occupied. Nevertheless several
sober and thoughtful books and pam
phlets have been written in support of
the North Poles pretensions. The
North Pole nowadays is bitter cold, but
it has not always been so. Biologists
tell us that the earth was excessively
hot when it first began it's course
much too hot to admit of the presence
of any living creatures, except, perhaps,
a salamander. AS it grew cooler
vegetation began on it, and then it be-
gan to be peopled, first with fishes, and
then with birds and beasts; finally with
man. The first spot on earth to get
cool enough to use was the North Pole.
In the process Of time it got too cold
but there must have been long period
when the polar region was the most
comfortable part of the world. During
this PERIOD many eminent biologists
believe, there existed around the North
Pole continent now submerged, and
that on that continent our progenitors
were comfortable in their first home.
1t is known with entire certainty that
the polar region was once warm enough
for tropical vegetation to grow there.
There was light enough, also, for such
vegetation abundant light, indeed, for
all uses, and plenty for primeval man.
Geology tells us that man might have
lived at the North Pole.

MANY editors not under the ban of

high moral standard in their papers
as the example set by The PRISON

supposed criminal Misunderstanding
neapolis Weekly Mirror
THE PRISON MIRROR doesn't deserve
any praise for the moral standard of
its columns. Its editor is so carefully
shielded from corrupting influences
that it could not be otherwise than
moral in tone. Having no influence in
politics we are not tempted by bribery
to support candidate for office whom
we know to be rascal. THE PRISON
MIRROR occupies field of it's own and
has no hated rival across the way to
denounce in billingsgate as an imbecile
escaped from an asylum for the feeble
minded. Even our exchanges are
carefully read before reaching our
Office and everything of an objectiona-
BILE nature clipped out so that we may
know nothing of the sinful doings of
the outside world. The prison editors
path is made so smooth that the calm
ness of his thoughts is undisturbed by
the many vexatious trials which beset
the poor struggling editor in the out
side world, and under these happy con-
ditions is it any wonder that the peace
and joy that fills his heart should be
reflected in the columns of his paper?

THE following beautiful tribute to
Woman's love and devotion is from
the pen of Robert G. Ingersoll: "The
one thing i'll this world that is constant,
the one peak that rises above all clouds,
the one window in which light forever
burns, the one star which darkness
cannot quench, is woman's love. 1t
rises to the greatest heights, it sinks to
the lowest depths, it forgives the most
cruel injuries. 1t is perennial of life
and grows in any climate; neither
GOODNESS nor neglect, harshness nor
cruelty can extinguish it. A woman's
love is the perfume of the heart.
This is the real love that subdues the
earth; the love that has wrought mira
Giles in art, that gives music all the
way from the cradle song to grand
symphony, that bears the soul away
on wings of fire; love that is greater
than power, sweeter than life, and
stronger than DEATH"
