TROUBLE AHEAD FOR THE TRUST
TARIFFERS.

The wisest friend of the Republican
party to-day is Representative Bah
cock, who last session shocked his Re-
publican colleagues by introducing a
bill to abolish the tariff on articles con-
trolled by trusts. He has just return
ed from the West where he interviewed
many prominent men in the world of
industry and is encouraged and more
measure. At the next session of Con-
gress he proposes to add tinplate and
glass to the manufactures of steel and
iron, the tariff on which he proposes to
abolish.

to their hostile ideas. 1t will be much
better to have the friends Of the tariff

legislation, and thus preserve the Pro-

But alas. if the protection idea"
as Mr.. Babcock proposes to amend it,
does not include the trusts-if it leaves
out those gigantic infant industries"
which are gobbling foreign markets by
wholesale at the expense of the Amer

several prices in the protected" home
market-the grand old party of God

side, will never on this mundane sphere

mainstay of the g. o. p and protective

Any one who shall threaten this sacred

PRISONS AS SCHOOLS OF CRIME.

Modern refOrmerS of our penal SyS-
tenn are not the first of their KIND any
more than Victor Hugo in the por-
travail of the martyr Jean Vatican was
the first to hold up the mirror to socl-
ETY.. DR.. Charlton T. Lewis, OF New
York therefore, is not pioneer in the
discovery that prisons breed crime and
are quite as much a menace as pro-
lection to society. DR.. Lewis, how
ever, has begun a systematic agitation
of the subject which may lead to re-
suits. He urges the adoption OF the
parole or indeterminate sentence sys-
TEN, the object OF which
is to keep criminal con-
fined until, but only until, he
shall have given evidence of reform,
and then to release him on paro'e, a
watch to be kept upon his. movements
with a view Of sending him back to
prison on the first evidence of his pur-
pose to resume vicious career.
We are told that in twenty-five
States part of this method of deal
ing with criminals has been put into
practice, and has served to keep some
first offenders from entering a prison
and others from being confined for
long term. In no State, however, are
confirmed and incurable criminals kept
perpetually imprisoned. Yet this is an
essential part of the system. The idea
is that as long as man shall be I'M
willing or unable to control his Grim
inal disposition, but only so long, he
should be shut off from the world.
When competent board shall have
reason to believe that a convict has
truly reformed it should release him on
parole. AS the Philadelphia Record
says, there is nothing but justice in
this proposition. To assume that a
habitual criminal will come out of
prison an honest man at the expiration
of certain sentence, and that first
offender cannot be safely released until
the end of a specified term, is obvious
ly absurd Time and again a criminal
has left the prison after serving his
term only to commit a murder or en-
gage in burglary, as the Courts and
the prison officials have had every reas-
on to expect On the other hand, first
offenders who might be shocked by ar
rest and be ready to lead strictly hon
est life come into contact with confirm
ed criminals in prison, and being
made desperate by the disgrace of
term in the penitentiary. become hard
ened and beyond reformation"
OF course, this would require
revised criminal code as we'll as a
change in the character of our pris-
ons, since it would not do to confine
habitual criminals with others but the
problem ought not to be difficult of
solution. Certain it is that the pres
ent cast-iron convict system is la
mentable failure so far as the reforma-
ton of criminals Is concerned, and is
small or no protection to society.
