NUMBER one of the Riverside quar-
terzy has appeared on our table. 1t
exactly fulfills our idea of what first
class magazine should be, and hyper
critical indeed would be the person
who could find fault either with the
selections, which are exceptionally
fine, or the typographical appearance.
Editor Russell says that everything
has been done hastily, but it is often
the case that some work done under
pressure and stress ranks with the
best, and the magazine furnishes the
proof thereof. We have also received
from the author, Kernel Dudley,
feast of good things called the Ham
mock Series entitled, "Sketches of the
West,' A Month in the WILDWOOD"
"Straws of Humor," and "The Lost
Agate" The contents are tales of
adventure, experience of army life and
trips, one is a romance. and
the humor Of the other is of the yery
best, without satire or sting. The
volumes reveal an originality and in
that is simply delightful.
We assure the Kernel that after being
read by the office force they will be
distributed among the boys who can
and do appreciate such works.

Col. ROBERT G. INGERsOEL in an
address recently delivered before the
Chicago Militant church CONGREGATION
at the invitation of its pastor, among
other things, said:
In spite of all that has been done
for the reformation of the. world. in
spite OF all the inventions, in spite of
all the forces of man, in spite of all
improvements in agriculture, in me-
chanlcs, in every department of hu-
man labor, the world is still cursed
with poverty and with crime. Man
should not be sent to the penitentiary
as punishment, because we must re.
member that men do as they must.
Nature does not frequently produce
the perfect. In the human race there
is large percentage Of failures. The
question is whether the reformation
is possible, whether change can be
produced in the person by producing
a change in conditions. The criminal
is dangerous, and society has the right
to protect itself. The criminal should
be confined and, if possible, should be
reformed. A penitentiary should be
a school; the convicts should be edu.

IN AN interview in Chicago a few
days ago Commander Booth Tucker.
of the Salvation Army, said:
L am new in this field. | shall have
to learn my A B C's before 1 can tell
exactly what we shall do in Chicago.
but there is one thing this city isgreat-
ly in need of, and hope in the near
future to fill the want. 1t is home
for the ex-convicts and those who have
been confined in the city prisons. In
England the Army conducted a very
satisfactory work in this line. think
it can be worked here with as great sue
cess, although in New York, | under.
stand, an association took up the same
work and made complete failure of
1t. What | hope to do is to estab
fish home or place where men or
women released from prisons NAV
come to us, and we will take care of
them if they desire to be taken care of.
In England it was called the Prison
Gate brigade. We used to send our
men and women to the gates of the
prisons at the time when the prisoners
were discharged and then we would
approach them. Those who had no
friends to care for them we would ask
to comet us. l think in this way at
least eighty per cent taken in by us
were reformed. We take them right to
our quarters and keep them there un-
til we know they are reformed. Then
we send them out to work. | want to
look into this matter very thoroughly.
and l hope soon to get enough time to
take day off and go over the field.
1t is such work as this that has
made the Salvation Army a power for
untold good in the land. There is no
religious organization in the world
whose sincerity is as unquestioned
among the mass of the people as the
Army. The secret of it's success lies
in the absence of any assumption
OF superiority toward those whom
it endeavors to convert, and thereby
it is enabled to enter into the feelings
Of the poor and fallen.

Gated. So prisoners should work, and
they should be paid reasonable sum
for their labor. The best men should
have charge of prisons. They should
be philanthropists and philosophers;
they should know something of human
nature. AS it is now, there is but lit
tie reform. The same faces appear
again and again at the bar; the same
men hear again and again the verdict
of guilty and the sentence OF the
court, and the same men return again
and again to the prison cell.

the idea being to furnish the men who

with place that will possess more of

philanthropy of practical and new
kind. 1t endeavors to do something

more to decrease crime than any other

ries and colleges, and to endow hospi-
tails. But hotel of this kind is worth

the reason that it endeavors to supply
one of the greatest needs of our large
cities, an amelioration of the material
of the wage learner. With all
due respect for the colleges and libra
ries founded by requests, it must be
said that only small proportion of
the community derive any direct bene-
fit from them, and more especially is
this the case in regard to the libraries,

same conditions, and while they may
prove a blessing to the coming genera
ion, to the present they are of no par

land, is destined to supply the needs of
ne present and also of the future of
lass that stands most in need thereof.

itizens of other cities would follow the
