1T is doubtful if anyone can name a
church in the State that as an organiza-
ton shows any real friendly interest in
the prisoners. We know OF ministers who
are frierdly AID who know that within
these walls wearing this badge OF shame
and degradation are men who are sincere
ly sorry for their misspent lives, and while
awaiting patiently until the vengeance of
the State shall have been fully satisfied
they are earnestly endeavoring by every
means at hand to develop and strengthen
the higher and better qualities of man
hood that remain in them.

for these the churches have no mercy no

This association has for thirty-tvo
years been doing its best for US, putting
forth its efforts in the interest of the
men who refuse to live according TO the
laws of the State, and if l am correctly
informed. this is the first public acknowl-
edgment of the value Of the work OF the
first public expression of gratitude and
appreciation on behalf on the inmates
here. The good it has done here and in
other institutions can never be estima ted.
Through it a vast number of children
have been rescued from lives of vicious
! ness and crime, and hundreds of men
have taken a higher and better view of
life and planned for an honorable and
| sef-respecting career.
Undoubtedly the most important work
is done in keeping men out of prison. It
has been truly said that the worst use to
which a State can put a man is to hang

him in prison, especially when the State.

been expressed by residents along these

for the authorities to force the company

The question has been raised but not

the company by taking off the ears and
abandoning the tracks enumerated have
not forfeited their franchises and their
legal right to use the streets further.
No cars have been run on some OF these

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION
j. F. STAHL. Proprietor.

The United States senate has run up
fatality in its course Of Imperialism. The
question of benevolent assimilation or
colonial dependencies with regard to our
new possessions is the question at issue.
benevolent assimilation" means state
hood in the union for these islands and
colonial derendeucles for them means
imperialism in the United States. Both
are ugly propositions for our enl,ghten-
ed nation, but the republican party
leaders appear to prefer an empire to a
confederation of continent and world
wide islands. The issue has been pre-
cipitated by a message from the presi-
dent urging relief 70. the suffering
people of Puerto Rico by giving to them
a good code OF laws ard free trade with
the United States This is according to
on constitution If they are a part Of the
United States, and will revive their dead
industries which have become paraly zed
since the cold hand of conquest WAS laid
upon them. The president. we believe,
is right in his position, having gone so
far as to annex the island, but the re-
publican senators do not see it in this
way. Free trade with this, or the other
islands, which they must also grant il
granted to Puerto Rico, they do not
wish to grant, as 1t will hurt certain in
dustries in this country, notably the to-
bacco, sugar, etc., but the constitution
stands in the way of levyin9 a tariff on
these products of the islands if they are
part OF the United States. The only
way the republicans can get around the
difficulty g to override the constitution.
make these islands colonies and conse.
quently the country an empire, and
this they propose TO do in spite of the
presidents recommendation. 1t is caus.
ing the imperialists a. WASHINGTON no
end OF worry as TO carry out their de.
signs will require SO brazen-fazed an act
Of Imperialism that they fear the effect
Of il upon our own country.
