SALTWATER, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3d. 1897

in that direction, the trouble being,
however, that the ordinary man or
mass of men, are too busy chasing,
getting and losing the almighty dollar,
to give serious thought to these mat
ters. The tendency within recent
years has been, and more than ever is
now, to take such course in prison
management as shall recognize, en-
courage and keep growing all of the
manhood there is in each individual
prisoner, and to assist him to again
take his place among men and his part
as a man, in the fullest and best sense
OF the term. TO this end the parole
system now in vogue in our Minnesota
prisons was long stride in the right
direction. The next great step which
feel must and will be taken soon, will
be the "indeterminate sentence" plan,
under which the prisoner is convicted
and sentenced to prison for no definite
term, his release on parole and dis.
charge being a matter resting entirely
with the Board of Managers or such
other body as the legislature provides,
the true reformation and return to a
life of usefulness, being what is sought.
When such statute goes into effect
it will be bright day to the prisoner
who desires to lead better life, and a
dark day for the prisoner who is a bad
man, and is fully determined to con-
tinue to be such, and is only waiting
for his time to expire to begin anew
his career of crime. He may enter
prison for a crime only giving him a
years term under the ordinary law,
but under the indeterminate sentence
he may not get out in ten or twenty
years, and possibly never.
The truly vicious man ought never
to be turned loose. When the man.
agement shall be authorized to retain
all of the vicious and discharge those
who on thorough test are found worthy
of confidence, the men who step out
of prison then will find the outside
world much more free to take them
back into it's confidence as it will have
the assurance Of the management that
they are worthy of being trusted; but
so long as it is obliged to turn con-
victs out simply because the term
has expired, for which they were
sentenced, without regard to their
reformation, the public is and will be
too busy to look into details to see if
the man has been paroled and dis
charged on his merits; the result being
that the ex-con gets the cold shoulder
on account of the uncertainty of his
true standing.
TO the families of the bad man, the
law would be God-send, as it is far
better for them that he be thus shut
out from them; and blessing to the
reformed men, as society would soon
learn to give them greater consider
alton than they now do.
Associations are being organized for
the purpose of assisting discharged
and paroled men, to regain foothold
and place in society, and we hope to
see much good work done in that
direction: the societies of course al.
ways working in harmony with the
prison management.

A HOLIDAY SKIT.
In Prison or Out of It Man
Can Be Man.

dSG oeFcH y ClVCk dIlu NIT. Fury just
arose. His eyes were yet partly closed
Seated on the bed he lost himself in
reverie, when he muttered: "Holiday
and here 1 am cpoped in this cell, a
helpless convict,s with no one to talk
to; friends all distant from me; and
prison grub-a nice holiday to put in.
Gee! the gong ra1;g some time ago and
here I sit not dressed!'
Hurriedly jumping into his clothes
and arranging his toilet he found him
self prepared just in time to march out
on the signal being given.
His face flushed; hair neatly combed;
and coat buttoned clear down; with
his robust stature, he represented the
picture of health as he descended the
iron stairs, and into the dining hall.
His face turnes pale; his eyes betook
worried glare. Scanning to his right,
then to the left, his very countenance
seemed to say: ais this my breakfast :?
Holiday? l had different than this at
hOme.''
His appetite soon getting the better
of his fancy, he waded in. {
From the dining hall, Mr.. Fury
paraded to his cell. swell, what shall
l do nOw?" he muttered, his hands in
his pockets, and gazing through the
grated door. Suddenly a thought
struck him-turning to the shelf he
took his pipe and lit it, then taking
book in hand couched himself on the
bed and soon became deeply interested.
His eyes now and then frightening as
he struck something to his fancy.
At nine O'Clock, at the signal Mr..
Fury laid aside his book and pipe and
marched to the chapel. His mind ap-
parently asking, what is it to be?"
Seated on bench with his arms folded,
he looked prepared for the best. Every
seat in the chapel was taken and, as
the various selections were concluded
the audience signitied approval by Wig
orOus clapping of the hands. Mr.. Fury,
who throughout the performance sat
in deep admiration was now in his best
spirits; emerging from the chapel with
a broad smile DER his cOuntenance.
swell, Mr.. DINNERS" he remarked as
he shook hands with him. "Quite a
good entertainment we had? Very
nice program-it puts new inspiration
into man to witness such after dreary
confinement"
"Yes' said Mir. DINNERS, "it carries
our thoughts back to better days, i'm
parts and verify encourages higher and
better efforts towards our future.
What are you working at now, Mr..
Eury?"
81 am in the twine shop replied
Fury, his facial expression bespeaking
any old thing-don't care.
"How are you, Mr.. Ommers," inter-
rogated Mr.. Illiams who then stepped
up. "Notice that you have resigned
from our Circle "Yes," spoke Mr..
DINNERS smilingly, then adding, Mr..
1lliams, shake hands with Mr.. Eury-
zone of the boys" Mr.. Fury, addressing
Mr.. Illiams, said: 81 see there are quite
number of bright, intellectual fel-
lows here; as from the subjects encom-
passed by your last program, am led to
believe many are ardent students
you are secretary thereof, are you not ?'

THE TRUE SOLUTION
The Parole System is an Entering
Wedge to Moral Rejuvenation.

"He is all ex-cOnvict." 1t is this
brand upon the transgressor as he
steps out of prison gates, after paying
the penalty for his crime. 1t is this
epithet that pursues him in his search
for employment from place to place.
1t is this reputation that clings to him,
more lasting than pallor of counte-
nance produced by long confinement.
The people distrust him; the doors are
shut against him; his reformation is
looked upon as myth; every depreda-
tion which may be committed in the
community where he may hereafter
dwell is ascribed to him. He is an ex-
convict.
One of the best measures of prison
reform ever adopted by the Minnesota
legislature was the parole system of
convicts and the appointment of a
state agent whose duty it is to find
employment for paroled and dis
charged convicts. This plan has now
been in operation nearly six years and
by it many man released from prison
has found a home awaiting him,
chance to begin life anew midst more
suspicious surroundings, and kind
treatment which awakens his self
respect and ambition.
BY the parole system convict may
be released from prison after serving
half his term, providing his conduct is
such as to merit this clemency. He is
still under bonds so to speak, and by
any infringement of the conditions of
his parole he is returned to prison
to serve the rest of his sentence.
Work is found for him by the state
agent; his employer knows just what
kind of man he has to deal with and
signs contract by which, in a certain
measure, he becomes responsible for
the welfare of his charge. The con-
vict thus continues on parole until the
expiration of the time for which he
was sentenced, and is then restored to
full freedom.
So we'll does this scheme operate
that out of over two hundred who
have been paroled from the prison,
only twenty -One have violated the con-
ditiOns of their release and have been
returned to durance. 1t also betokens
the excellent discrimination and rigid
care shown in the granting of this
clemency, that it will not be to those
who will abuse it. In addition to those
parOled from the prison a still larger
number have been similarly released
from the reformatory, with equally sue
cessful results.
The care of this large number-for
nearly two hundred from both institu-
tions, are on parole at one time de-
wolves upon the state agent, Frank A.
Whittier. His duty it is to secure en-
plOyment for these men and to look
after them until the full expiration of
their terms. In this work Mr.. Whittier
has been very successful and to his
energy is the excellent result of the
plan largely due.-St. Peter Journal.

The originals of these transla.
tons appear in Enclosure No. Z.
Enclosure No. 6 consists of
extracts from statistics exhibiting
the movements of Italian emiera
ton for the years 1894 and 1895,
and, SO far as obtsinsble, those of
1896, covering the provinces more
particularly treated of in this re-
port. To this is added some
otals of population for comp ari-
son.
1t will be observed that the
three Northern provinces of Italy,
While possessing about one-lhird
of the population, furnish nearly
,ne-half of its total emigration,
and that an average of one fifth
1894 and 1850 of the total emf
grafton was from the same pro
vinces to the three principal coffee
aud sugar producing countries of
the American Continent. The
words, "Tempoia,y aud Perma-

grafton statistics, are not very

1t may be remarked that no
statistics of Italian emigration
represent the number who leave
the country. Many. who cannot,
for various reasons, obtain pass
ports, manage to individually
emigrate in one way or another,
principally by crossing the from

A TIMELY KILLING.

The contention of the Record Union"
concerning that monstrosity known as
the Clarke road law has been held to
be sound by no less a body than the
Supreme Court Of the State.
Almost Immediately after its passage
the Record Union" denounced the
Clarke law as monstrous, absolutely
impracticable, and wholly unreasonable
and unfit for California conditions.
Moreover, We held that as it was in
direct conflict with the County Govern
ment Act, which is a general law af-
fecting all counties according to classes
and as the two laws We're passed at the
same time and approved on the same
day, the general and more embracing
statute should prevail, and that proba-
bly, it would be found that the County
Act was the later expression of the
Legislature in which case the Clarke
law would of necessity go to the wall.
The laws as sanctioned by the Exec
utive are chaptered as approved. The
14di re OiiI 10 GIAciHtCiNo N<N-AA~A - -
the County Government Act, with which
it is in irreconcilable conflict, is chap
tered CCLXXVII. It was therefore the
latest Act and operated to nullify the
Clarke Act, and the Supreme Court so
holds
The people of the State are to De
congra tulated upon this victory for as
suredly had the Clarke law gone INTO
effect road construction and malnten-
ance, already injured by delay, would
have been dealt a deadly blow in Cali
fornia, and before the evil could nave
been checked by new legislation such
injury would have resulted that not
decade of effort would have sufhced
to wipe it out.
1t is needless to set forth the reasons
for this conviction on the part OF the
Record Union since the Infamous
Act is dead and past resurrection, unul
a possible cranky or careless Leglslat-
ure shall again assemble and threaten
the peace and prosperity of the people
bv enactment of such monstrositles as
the Clarke road law.
