ungratefnI Ex-Convicts.

A year ago the Salvation Army estab-
Costa county California. The purpose of
the home was to afford discharged pris
oners an opportunity to begin life anew
under favorable circumstances. They were
given work. and were charged only nom
inal sums for the accommodations which
they received. The institution was sup
ported by the Salvation Army and was
not intended to be self-sustaning. After
one years trial, however, it has been found
necessary to suspend the home, and the
probabilities are that it will not be re-
opened The reason for the suspension is
said to be the ingratitude and treachery
of the persons it was designed TO aid. The
inmates not only stole the goods and eff
fects Of the home, but made it a hiding
place for plumber stolen elsewhere. One
of the most trusted of the benefciaries,
whose pretensions had won the confidence
of the management, stole a horse and
wagon, and another of them was caught in
an attempt to burglarize a house not far
from the home. Such incidents occurred
so frequently that the salvationists deter
mined to shut up the place. Commander
Booth-Tucker will consider what is to be
done under the circumstances. 1t is not
believed that the institution viii be re-
opened, unless it is under a very differ
ent plan.
1t is probable that there is too little
of the reformatory idea in the American
prison system In the great majority of
instances, no doubt, the person who goes
to prison thief or a thug comes out a
thief or thug He may conduct himself
well while in the stripes, for the purpose
of securing the rebate of time given for
good behavior, and yet be as much of a
criminal at heart as ever. There is no
great effort made in the prison 10 reform
him, and he makes no effort to reform
himself. He looks upon his sentence as
the quid pro quo which he must give for
his crime, and behaves himself merely that
he may discount his bill 1t is along
this line that the advocates of the inde-
terminate sentence, which has lately been
adopted in several of the states, find
strong argument Under the indetermin-
ate sentence criminals of certain classes
the period depending entirely upon the
prisoners themselves. Close records are
kept every good point counts in calcu-
latng the time of release, and conclusive
evidence of genuine reformation is the
greatest factor of all in terminating the
period of Imprisonment. On the other
hand, however, the prisoner can keep him
self in Jail for life, by being obstreperous
and vicious. Thus under this plan the
prisoner is induced to make efforts to save
himself. He is not able to set about to
deliberately discount his bill, for the rea-
son that he does not know what the bill
is but he does know that it is likely to
be a mighty big one if he does not make
a successful effort not only to behave him
self in prison, but to change his character
so that he will be a better man when re-
leased from prison.

1t is reported that some doubt has aris-
en- in. the minds" of the members of the
cabinet "as to the need for additional SUD-
plies in the new gold fields, aud it is not
likely that final steps viii be taken until
the necessity for the expedition has been
fully demonstrated" a large appropria-
tlon has been passed by Congress, and two
agents Of the government are now In Nor
way, or en- route there to purchase rein
deer for the Klondike relief expedition
And now we are told that it is as yet by
no means certain that relief is needed by
the Klondikers. Is this an evidence of the
much Wanted business sense" Of the Re
publican party? It is pretty certain that
the officials in Washington would not go
about dispensing their own bounty in any
such manner

1t is reported that the state of Virginia
will lease number of her convicts-prob-
ably 200 of them-to be worked upon a
sugar beet farm in the state. The scheme
has much to recommend it. The success
OF sugar beet cultivation in Virginia by
convicts would probably have the effect
of interesting the farmers, in the sugar
Industry. At the same time, the employ
ment of convicts at such work would not
conflict with free labor. The country
now uses millions of dollars worth of
sugar more than it raises or will raise in
many years to come.

The Northwestern transportation COM
pauies are calculating upon moving $780,
900 persons in the direction of the KIon-
dixie gold fields next spring and summer.
The administration at Washington might
take these figures as basis upon which
to calculate the amount of relief supplies
that will be needed next winter.

THE railroad commissioners of New York
have recommended to the legisla ture the
passage of a law limiting the number of
passengers which street railway compa-
mics may carry in each car II is pro-
posed that the mo seat no fare" rule
shall apply, and it is said bill embody-
ing that idea Will be introduced. Anv
such measure would probably be fought
long and hard by a street railway lobby
since legislation of the kind would entail
large expenditures by the street railwavs
fer additional equipments.

There are reasons for thinking that the
populist meeting to be held in S.. Louis
this week will not be complete reunion

Colorado and Nebraska, are not in favor

How would the railroads like Senator
Cullom of Illinois for chairman of the in
terstate commerce commission? Ii is said
he can have the place if he will accept it,
IT pays better salary than the office of
Senator and hasn't so many expenses at

be the chairman of the commission.

that an American syndicate with cap

contradicted at an early date.

From the Boston Globe Dem.,.

Gen. Gomez thinks Cuba is willing to
buy her liberty at the price of $3.50, 600 900,
borrowing from American capitalists and
mortgaging the island TO them. Liberty
is doubtless worth the figure but the
thing is to induce Spain to sell.

Ambassador Hay is in serious danger. of
making himself popular in England, and
thus risking the loss of the warm esteem
of his party friends in this country. The
London Chronicle the other day spoke of
Mr.. Hay as a strong, charming. cultivat
ed personality" 1t was just this sort of
talk about Ambassador Bayard which
caused the Republican papers to froth at
the mouth and rave about our anglo
maniac representative at the Court of
ST. James 1t is good Republican doctrine
to affect to dcspise everything British.

a queer case Of alleged bribery is before
the court in Bradford county, Pennsyl-
vania. \ rich man bequeathed his children
snug sums Of money on the condition that
his sons should remain loyal Democrats
and that the daughters should marry loyal
Democrats. Some of the heirs at law-pos-
sibly they are Republicans-are contesting
the will, on the ground that the legacies
are brides for the advocacy of a particu-
lar political creed, and are therefore con-
trary to the genius of our government and
Institutions.

From the Philadelphia Ledger Und

AS mediator between Spain and Cuba,
the United States would be much better
employed than in fighting either one or
the other, and would, besides, be able to
make a valuable precedent of arbitration.
1t is to be hoped the report that Spain
is about ready TO ask for such action is
founded on fact

There seems to be some doubt in the
public mind with regard to the status Of
those 500 silver certificates. Briefly stat
ed, all silver certificates Of the denomina-
ton of 500 have been called in by the
Secretary of the Treasury. No 500 bills
of any other, class are affected by the
order. There has been only one issue of
the silver bills of the denomination nam
ed, hence there should be no doubt or
confusion as to the kind that has been
successfully counterfeited.

Those populsts Of Kansas that nave
been making war on the railroads. declar-
ing that the roads charge 600 high prices
for freights and passengers, and telling
just how railroads ought to be run in
the interests OF the public, are now offered
an opportunity for putting their theories
to the test. The Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe road has offered to lease the
populsts a train for year at 81 per train
mile, which is said to be the actual cost of
passenger service. The populists are to
be permitted to operate this train after
their own plans, farming out the fran
chise or running the train as political
party venture as they may please. The
only stipulation made by the railroad COM
pany is that the train shall be run upon
a regular schedule every day, rain or
shine, and whether there is any bust
ness for it to do or not, just as the COM
panys trains are run and that the rental
shall be promptly paid 1t remains to he
seen if the Kansas railroad theorists have
the courage of their convictions.

investigating, and Tammany proposes to
do it. The memory of Lexow is still fresh
in the minds of the Tammanyites, and
they have not forgotten that when Mayor
Strong went into office he caused an in
quiry to be made to see if the books and
accounts of the Tammany officials were
all straight. Mayor Van Wyck now pro-
poses that his commissioners of accounts
shall investigate the books and accounts
turned over to his administration By the
Strong administration. What a roar the
tiger would emit if anything crooked
should be discovered!

In the principal business centers there
does not seem to be any fear that con-
gress win do anything that will tend to
make the business outlook less promising.
Some of the leading business men of New
York have gone to Europe for the winter
and others are preparing to go to Cali
fornia and Florida, being satisfied that
there will be no change in business condi-
tons which would demand their presence
at home Those of them who have ex-
pressed their views on the business situa-
ton say that they expect a slow but
steady improvement in prices, and think
that the business outlook when spring
opens will be better than it is now
Ex-Gov. Flower is one of those who
takes a very hopeful view of the future.
He says he does not think that profits will
be as large as they We're prior to the
financial panic of 1893, but that the aggre-
gate of the earnings from business enter
prises will be fully as large, because the
volume of business will be very much
greater.
The railroads are still complaining be-
cause their net earnings do not keep pace
with the growing volume of their bust
ness. The main reason for that is, doubt
less rate cutting. The traffic associa-
tons do not keep their solemn agreements
respecting rates. In their scramble for
business they throw away their profits.
That is a condition which they alone can
improve. Rate cutting is not demanded
by the majority of business men. 1t is a
concession to the large shippers and is
ruinous to small shippers. Business in
terests generally would much prefer sta
bic rates strictly maintained
Here in the south business is better
than it was year ago, but 1t is by no
means satisfactory, owing to the low
price of cotton, but if it is better in other
parts of the country the south will get
some of the benefits of it, because there
will be a greater demand for the pro-
ducts of her cotton mills and her iron
mines. Better times in the north also
mean the investment of more northern
capital in the south and a more rapid de-
velopment of the south's resources. There
are reasons for thinking that in all parts
of the country the business improvement
Will be greater this year than 1t was last.
