1t is noticeable that money continues to
work a shade closer, but the rising ten
dency is offset somewhat by the weak
ness of foreign exchange. There is every
probability that gold will begin 10 come
over from the continent within short
time and the belief is that it will be in
large quantities. Another hopeful fea-
ture of the international situation is that
there is every prospect of large purchases
of American securities in London. 1t is
not to be supposed that London will not
be attracted by the returning prosperity
in this country and the sustained ad-
vance of prices of securities. One of the
effects of this. though not the most inn
portant one, will be an augmentation of
the flow of gold in this direction.

we'll pride itself on having such a
paper in the Times of that city.
The average course of the daily
press in shutting its eyes to abuses
Of the public confidence, in return
for sop of legal advertising, or in
using it's editorial columns merely
for the purpose of soliciting job
printing is so common and con-
spicuous that the course pursued
by theTimes becomes in fact some
what original in this neck Of the
woods.
The crusade to which the Times
has lately bent its energies is the
expose Of dishonest receiverships.
In this war the Times has already
successfully fought one large and
juicy libel suit, and has established
the fact that public sympathy on
one side and the Supreme Court
Of the state on the other, stand
ready to second the efforts Of re-
formers.
There has probably never been
in the history Of the country such
a fruitful field for this kind Of war
fare as Minneapolis has furnished
in the last few years, and if the
truth were known in many cases
over there our population would
be not immaterially increased.
In the meantime the people re-
joice that they have at least one
interrupted newspaper, and that
the State has a Supreme Court of
such distinguished and high char
acter.

Trust men, and they will be true to you; treat
them gently and they will show themselves
great. EMERSON,
The extent to which the So
called ''trusty" system is carried in
the Oregon penitentiary at Salem
shows that even though the super
intendent gives it out cold that a
prison is not a place Of reforma-
ton, but Of punishment, he realiz-
es fully the advantages to be won
in the treatment of prisoners by
arousing their pride. To give a
prisoner responsible position or
to allow him such liberty as the
''trusty" system affordsis to arouse
in the man pride which, if he has
any manhood left, will impel him
to Justify the confidence shown.
Out Of between three and four
hundred men in the prison there
are over one hundred and fifty who
are let out of the prison in the
morning and who do not report
there until night. These men re-
ceive a double allowance Of good
time for every day so spent, and
on the other hand the most severe
punishment known to the prison
discipline follows an attempted
escape, in addition to the loss of
as much good time as may be de-
cided by the authorities.
A large number Of these men
are employed about the various
state institutions, which are all To-
Gated at Salem.
The other prisoners are en-
ployed at stove factory by con-
tract at 30 cents per day.
We gather the above facts from
published interview with Mr.. A,
n. Gilbert. the superintendent.

MACBETH.
ARMENIA has been forgotten dur
ing the present disturbance, and
Russia has taken advantage of the
diversion. During the previous
two years Of disturbances in Ar
menia about 100000 Armenians
found their own country too warm
and quietly moved into the Rus
sian dominions. The Russian au-
thorities did not view this increase
of population with favor, but as
Russia was posing as the cham
pion of these prosecuted "Christi-
ans" it would not have looked we'll
to exclude them. But it did not
take the Russians long to discover
that Armenians were a luxury of
a very undesirable kind, and it be-
came the problem Of the day how
to get rid Of them. They were po-
litely requested to go back home.
But the Turkish government said
that they were welcome to stay
away. However, Russia brought
pressure to bear on Turkey to let
them return, and when the permits
sion had been extorted it simply
told the Armenians to scat.
There is a moral attached to
this. It will be we'll for the Unit
ed States to provide for a rude
awakening to the qualities of the
aggregation of mongrels which we
are on the point Of adopting.

and consequent mourning of heavy
court and legal expenses, which in
the majority of small cases absorb
a sum as great or greater than that
originally involved?
But, someone will probably re-
mark, that would do away with the
greater part of the fees received
at present by attorneys. That is
doubtless true and it would indeed
be sad in view of the large annual
grist turned out by the shyster
mills, and also considering the fact
that the vast majority Of lawyers
are already now forced to resort to
questionable means, such as TO-
menting and protracting litigation,
in order to make a living. But it
must.be remembered that labor
saving machinery is everywhere
doing away with large amounts Of
unnecessary effort, and why should
not little labor-saving legal ma
chinery be invented. Doubtless
the present system is such a good
thing for all parties concerned
except litigants that no sugges-
ton for an improvement need be
expected from the legal profession.
State boards of arbitration have
already in many cases averted
great losses by acting as intermed-
iaries between capital and labor.
1t would seem probable that courts
of arbitration where civil cases
could be decided by a disinterested
commission would be an institu-
ton which would fill a long-felt
want.
The utility Of arbitration boards
is daily being demonstrated in
Denmark, where they have been
introduced. There it is compul-
sorry to bring an action before this
board before it can be tried by a
regular court of justice. The costs
of bringing a case before this body
are as follows: Complaint filed, so
ore (l3 cents); summons, 80 ore
GO cents); decision, 50 ore; total,
kr. 1.3O (35 cents.) This may be
said to be comparatively reason
able price for justice, and when it
is considered that out Of l 400
cases brought before this court no
less than $50 we're finally settled
there, the good work Of these courts
cannot be to highly commended.

enriching and building up nations more surely
than the proudest battles. CLAIMING.
LAST year the Parliament of
England passed a law in regard to
the liability Of employers for acct
dents to their workmen resulting
directly from the contingencies sur
rounding the labor, which marks
an epoch in the relations between
employer and workman in that
country, and places England far
in advance Of the United States in
this important matter.
It is a well-known fact that in
this country the employer is not
liable for accidents caused by con-
tributory negligence on employees
part. This makes it in many cases
easy for an employer to avoid re-
sponsibiIity where a life has been
lost and the principal witness is
thus silenced.
The English law provides: First
That the employer is respons-
ible for all accidents, even if not
caused by any carelessness or neg
ligence on his part.
Second-Negligence on the
part Of the injured workman does
not release the employer from liza
bility, unless it was malicious or
intentional.
Third-Employeris not released
from responsibility although the
accident may be entirely due to
the negligence Of the fellow-work-
men Of the injured.
Fourth-Immediate notice to
employer is not compulsory, unless
his interests suffer by the delay.
The maximum and minimum
compensation for disability or
death is also fixed.
This law practically makes it
necessary for an employer to in
sure his workmen, and thus places
this matter, equally with fire in
surance, sa fixed charge against a
business, thus enabling the own
ers to compensate for the expense,
besides which it protects against
extravagant claims for damages.

TACITUs.
WHILE the war is on little is be-
ing said about international arbi-
tration, about which so many ora
tions were formerly made, but in
stead all the powers with money
or credit sufficient to do so are
ordering new armored cruisers and
battle ships, and while untold mil
lions are being spent in navies,
some subtle inventor is probably
planning machine which will
forever make navies obsolete, and
thus perhaps hasten the time when
war shall be no more.
In the meantime why not talk
about civil arbitration? Does it
not seem probable that arbitration
courts could be instituted in which
small civil quarrels about property
could be submitted to mediation
by disinterested parties directly
without the interference of lawyers

THE MIRROR is a weekly paper published
In the Minnesota State Prison. 1t was founded
In 1887 by the prisoners and is edited and man
aged by them. Its objects are to. be a home
newspaper; to encourage moral and intellectual
Improvement among the prisoners; to acquaint
the public with the true STATUS of the prisoner;
todisseminate pathological information and to aid
In dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to fallen mans selfredemption.
The paper is entirely dependent On the public for
Its financial support. If at any time there should
accrue surplus of funds, the money would be
expended in the interests of the prison library.

The MIRROR is edited with dis
tinguished ability, the frequency
and extent of our cuttings from it
attest, at least, the esteem in which
we hold it, but which is reason
able under the circumstances-the
tone of it's comments on the ofici-
ais and newspapers, perhaps religi-
Gus organizations or other outside"
activities, is frequently cynical and
not entirely worthy of SO good a
paper.
Well, we may as we'll acknowl-
edge the corn. 1t is impudent and
out Of order for a convict to attack
or criticise the action of anyone.
Is may indeed be said to be sui
cidal. But the editor has lucid
intervals" At such times he makes
up his mind that he will see moth
ing but what is good and confne
his utterances to essays on religi-
Gus subject and abstract morals,
and in that way convey to the pub
lie and the Board of Managers the
erroneous impression that he is re-
formed to an entirely unprecedent-
ed extent. But alas for resolutions.
The filings Of outrageous fortune"
have played such havoc that even
a good dinner seems impotent to
cast roseate simmer into his BIZ
luminous atmosphere.
However, only a fool would not
be grateful for such kind and we'll
intentioned criticism. We will en-
deavor in the future to criticise
only the internal revenue laws of
the Sultan Of Pedir and subjects
Of allied Importance.
AS for being cynical, that is one
Of the gre attest misfortunes Of man.
The cynic sees not the beautiful
flowers, but looks at the ground
for the decomposing matter which
gives nourishment to the rose; he
sees only the body Of the butterfly,
not it's beautiful wings. Surely
he who takes from us our fine
illusions does a grievous injury.
But the worst part Of the disen-
chantment is that which compels
man to see only the defects of men
and women. For as man is Gods
image, SO when you lose sight of
mans good qualities and see in
them only repetitions Of your own
evil self, it will daily increase the
distance between yourself and your
Maker.
