EUROPEAN REFORM METHODS.

WE HAVE recently received communication
from William T. Tallack, secretary of the Howard
association, London, in regard to the proceedings Of
the international Prison Congress which was held at
Brussels In reading the discussions on the various
subjects that prominently brought before that
body, we find that this country is away ahead of
Europe in regard to penal matters One of the
questions that received considerable attention and
was debated at length, the securing from the
offender reparation to the injured party. To the
thinking person who hasn't thoroughly studied the
subject this theory of restitution appears practical
and perfectly just But would it be just to compel
him to both term in prison and also make
reparation to the individual directly concerned ?
Does not the state exact indemnity by imprisoning
him and making him slave to the state for speci-
fed period? Most assuredly it does. While recog-
nizing that such is the would it not be more
logical and consistent for the state to settle with the
injured member Of society?
But this talk of reparation is all bosh. It is
wholly irrelevant When the state metes out justice
to the wrong doer, does it not settle the injustice
society has suffered at the hands of the prisoner?
We not thoroughly informed as to English juris-
prudence but know that in this country legisla-
lures convened biennally to pass laws specifying
the amount of punishment for the various crimes
mitted against person Or property. When member
of society becomes refractory and commits awess
action, he is sentenced to prison under the pre-
scribed rules governing that particular crime Any
further penalty would be backmail.
There we're present at this prison congress sew
eral Americans who enlightened their European CO.
laborers in penal work on the systems in vogue in
this country. Several of the members were greatly
astonished when the parole laws governing the FL
mira reformatory we're explained to them. Several
other matters relating to prison reforms were dis
cussed which will probably receive further attention
at their next meeting, which will be held at Buda-
pest in 1905.
