PRISON REFORMS.


The statements of Superintendent Hert Of
the State Reformatory, regarding the work.
ings of the indeterminate sentence law must
go a long way to convince those who have
doubts regarding the desirability Of the
method. Under no circumstances can harm
come to the prisoner. If his conduct is
good he is paroled after a brief sentence;
if it is not he is kept until there is cause in
his change of conduct to give him his free
DOM Naturally the larger part Of the pris-
oners will be on their good behavior be-
cause they desire to be set at liberty. A
large part of the two-thirds will go out of
the prison to take another chance and to be
self-supporting. 1t is better that men
should support themselves out of prison
than be supported in the Reformatory. In
deed, it will be great thing for the State
If the number of men in it's prisons is re-
duced from year to year by such a law, in
stead of having it augmented from year to
year with no adequate employment. This
consideration, in connection with the facts
and statistics of Superintendent Hert and
ex-senator Ellison, of the board of directors,
should close any contention there might be
as to the wisdom Of the establishment of
the Reformatory with the indeterminate
sentence.
In this connection 1t may be added that it
is strange that judges should continue to
send to the Reformatory convicts which be-
long in the State Prison, and to the State
Prison criminals who belong to the Re-
formatory. Within a limited period thirty
men have been sent to Jeffersonville whom
the indeterminate sentence law sends to
Michigan City. The State will be at extra
expense to send the men from the former
to the latter place. Is it possible that such
judges are ignorant of the law?
Another prison problem is that of the en-
ployment of the convicts in the Michigan
City prison. The trustees are considering
the matter and devising plans to utilize the
labor. The experiment at truck farming
has proved so satisfactory that it is be-
lieved the labor of the convicts may be
utilized in part in raising the vegetables
which other state institutions purchase. In
New York the experiment of using the
prison labor to manufacture the furniture,
clothing and materials used in all public in
situations Is being tried. 1t is not known
what the result will be- 1t has been sug-
gested that it be tried at Michigan City, but
1t is probable that the outcome of the New
York experiment will be awaited, as the
plant for such manufacture would be expen-
sive. The plan of utilizing such products
OF the prisons as can be made with ma
chinery owned by the contractors, and
which can be disposed of to other state in
situations, is under consideration by the
trustees. If this can be done there will
be few idle men in the Michigan City prison.

The statistics of trade the three weeks
of the present month do not confirm the
fears or hopes Of those who expected a
dull period at the setting in of the war.
In the central West the reports show an
unprecedented activity in business. The
railroads show a decided gain over the
coed showing for April. This means large
volume of business. The clearing houses
show an increase of SO per cent, the past
week compared with the corresponding
week of 1897. Thea unprecedented marketing
of breadstuffs, with the fattering reports
of crops to come and the large purchases of
merchandise by farmers give strength to
the business situation. The receipts of
wheat the past week were 5,S76,716 bushels,
against 24SO,109 for the corresponding week
of last year. The exports of wheat from
Atlantic ports during the first three weeks
of May were 7,9555S6- bushels nearly double
those of the same period last year.

Union those who were then in political
sympathy with Mr. Turpie were violently
opposed to the issue.
Senator Turpie was wrong again when he
said that after the surrender at Appomattox
the greenbacks became par. 1t is surprising
that man of the senator's information
should make such statement. The green
Turpie's party in November, 1864, and the
squelching of the traitorous organizations

twice before the passage of the resumption
act in 1875 did the greenback dollar reach
80 cents in coin. 1t was not until few
weeks before the date of specie resumption
that the greenback was close te par, and
the greenback dollar was not as good as the
gold dollar until the actual date of specie

know these facts, and knowing them he
should not declare that latter the surrender

The Gods of Our Fathers.

A study of Saxon mythology-that is, of
the pagan religion of the founders of the
Gcrmanic race in northern Europe - has
more interest and value for the special stu
dent than for the general reader. 1t is
largely speculative and metaphysical, with
out much relation to the human race and
human interests of the present time, and
yet it is both interesting and instructive to
know what sort of religion the Germanic
race had before Christianity came into the
world. This is the theme of 1.-THE Gods
of Our Fathers" by Herman 1. Stern. 1t
is not a hackneyed theme, for while great
numbers of people are conversant with
Greek and Roman mythology very few
know anything about that Of our Morse and
saxon forefa theirs, to which must be traced,
according TO this author, the ancestral
springs of thought and character of the
Anglo Saxon family - politically and intel
Iectually the dominant race of the earth. =
The author holds that Morse, Greek and
Roman mythologies develop along similar
lines up to certain point, and then the diff
ference of climatic conditions produces a
divergence. The Greek view of the creation
and the world is classic. the Saxon ro-
mantle. The Greek mind" says the au-
thor. Selling upon form as the essential
revelation of nature. has wrought out for
the world the eternal forms of beauty; the
Saxon mind, Selling upon motion as the
essential revelation of nature, has impaired
to the world the eternal ideal of endeavor
This divergence runs through all history
In politics the South emphasizes
the state, the North liberty In religion
the South develops the formal: the North
contends for the spiritual Greco-Latin
Christendom is Catholic. German Christen-
dom is Protestant In litera ture the South
begets the renaissance, the North the refor-
nation, If, therefore. Morse mythology
lacks the aesthetic beauty of classic mythoi-
ogy the latter, on the other hand, lacks
the. ethical grandeur of the former" The
author describes for the instruction of men
and women of to-day the primitive beliefs
Of their remote ancestors in regard to the
creation of the world-of the mist home in
the North and of the fire home in the
South. of the first human being, Burr, and
of the father. of gods and men, Odin. and
of the ice giants, implacable enemies to
both gods and men. This can scarcely be
called live topic, but the author invests
1t with so much learning and wealth of
research that he makes it interesting. New
York: Harper e Brothers.
