The Prison ms an Industrial school

4 curious incident occurred in the
Court of Quarter Sessions at Newark
recently. The judge sentenced two
young housebreakers to eighteen
months each in the penitentiary. AS he
was about to leave the bench a note
from the prisoners was handed to him,
and he found in 1t a request that they
be sentenced to State prison instead of
to the penitentiary. This struck him as
very odd, since it practically amounted
to asking for a term Of two years in
stead of a year and half He had
them brought before him and asked:
"Do you understand that l cannot send you 20
State prison for less than two years?'
The youths said that they understood
perfectly, but that they wished to learn
a trade. so that they could support
themselves when they came out. They
were willing tc serve the extra six
months in consideration of that.
II is to be hoped that somebody will
keep a lookout for these two young
men, and give them jobs when they
come out of prison. 1t seems evident
that they wanted work, and disliked
wasting time, and that is not common
frame Of mind among lawbreakers. At
the same time, the incident opens the
way to an interesting discussion. Is 1t
to be supposed that boys in New Jer-
sey, or anywhere else in this country,
are so circumscribed in opportunities
that they cannot learn a trade outside
State prison? The attitude of these
boys would seem to indicate something
of the sort, for reasonable human be-
ings do not ask for six extra months In
prison II they can get what they want
outside of that place. 1t would seem
that the penitentiary. as well as the
State prison. might profitably be made
an industrial school.
After ALL this is part of the great in
dustrial problem which is vexing the
country-the problem OF getting work
to support cne's self honestly. AS
things are now, boy who wants to
learn a trade must find some place
where he will be paid wages while he Is
learning. In overcrowded England he
must find a place where his employer
will have him taught in consideration
of being paid premium for the in
struction. II these young men. on

There was considerable humiliation
among the leaders OF the party. including
state Chairman Greasy. because they
were compelled to hold second meeting
OF the State Committee in order to make
the substitution legal Il may be remen-
bered that the Dauphin County Court de-
clared that the meeting held in this city

Coray was substituted for that of Mr..

officially notified

not give to the Donnelly-Ryan delegates

ing the nomination Of a man who Is not
Democrat. nevertheless gave them some
cause for gioating over their brethren to-
day. With the committee this afternoon
We're numbered the Philadelphians who
had been thrown out and reinstated.
A story was in circulation this afternoon
that GarInan. ex-State Chairman. was
again about to proceed against the nomI-

ground that the committee meeting today
was illegal, inasmueh as the number of
signatures OF persons required to sign a

The Horrors of Remorse.
lrnm the New Ynrk Sunl


From the moment that Edward S.
Stokes shot Jim Fisk he has been troub-
led with nightmare. Mr.. Stokes in all OF
the thirty years since that unhappy Incl
dent has never gone to bed except with
a valet lying on couch beside him. and
with the gas at Full flame. In his early
days Stokes was a great student of
Shakespeare, and he has told many times
at the Hoffman House of what must have
been the horrible scene to Brutus when
Julius Caesars ghost appeared to him in
the tent at Phllippi
Mr.. Stokes always said in personal con-
versations that he did not shoot Jim Fisk
because of a woman but because jim
Fisk. as the great master of the Erie
Railroad Company, used his power to
keep out of New York City the shipments
Of oil which he. Stokes. sent from the
Pennsylvania oil fields. Jim Fisk. it is
true, enjoyed the society of Josie Mans
field. and, later. so did Stokes. But the
trouble came from Fisk's attempt to ruin
him, Stokes always said, as a shipper
of oil to Now York city.

AN INDIAN COMPLICATION.
Communications From the Agent
and the Governor of Colorado.


The officials of the Indian Bureau have
Just received a somewhat lengthy tele-
gram from Indian Agent H. P. Myton.
who has charge of the White Rocks (Utah)
Indian Reservation. Mr.. Myton protests
vigorously against the action of certain
game wardens in that State as regards
their attitude toward Indians under his
charge.
The telegram is as follows:
Il believe game wardens of Colorado
are prosecuting Eggleston, one of my In
dams He was tried and acquitted before
a jury in Rio Blanco County, where they
claimed the offence was committed. After
the jury returned a verdict of not guilty
the game wardens, as 1 am told, without
authority of law, took him to Glenwood
Springs where he is now in Jail. Please
ask the Department of Justice to order
the United States Attorney to defend him.
The game wardens should be made to
pay for Eggleston's property that they
have destroyed. The citizens of this
county believe Eggleston has been per-
secuted. Very few of my Indians are
hunting in Colorado. Full particulars by
mall
To complicate matters, there arrived
shortly before the Indian agents tele-
gram, one from Governor Ornan, of Col
orado, saying:
Bands of about 800 Indians are in Colo
rado from the White Rocks CUtah) Agen-
cy. destroying game in direct violation of
the laws of the State. Immediate provi-
sion must be made by you to remove
them Otherwise there viii be serious
trouble. l am satisfied that the Govern
mcntS agent at White Rocks is not using
proper efforts to keep them at the
agency"
Neither the Indian agents nor the Gov-
ernOr's communication has been answered
by the Indian Bureau officials yet. Ac-
cording to the latter the same statement
contained III Governor Orman 5 communi-
cation is made every year. Only last
year the local officials claim that, upon
investigation, they found that 4 number
of State game wardens were hunting with
the Indians.

boat Basco for unremitting exertion for
the success OF the expedition.

FOREIGN TOPICS.

vigorous crusade against the intem-
pcrato use of alcoholic drinks has been
launched in France This is the immedi-
ate result of the. recent annual conven-
| ton of the National Anti-Alcohoiic
League of which the noted DIR. Phiibert
| is the president.
The difference Between this league and
all other so-called temperance societies is
| that 1t is in reality temperance and not
a total abstinence organization. Its agi-
tations are directed against the abuse, not
the use, of liquors. 1t is argued that men
can be trained TO partake of intoxicating
drinks in such quantities as will benefit
them, just as they can learn to be tenn
perate in all things.
/ The methods of the campaign consist in
the extensive distribution of pamphlets
and books, in the giving OF free lectures
by competent men all over the country
and in the establishment of homes for
the cure of inebriates. The literature of
the league is volumnous. 1t points out
that three-fourths of the ills and misery
of humanity can be traced directly to in
| temperance in drinking and eating. The
efforts of the league are directed espe-
| cially against absiDthe and strong bit
ters. which are considered much more
!
! every brochure of the league there is a
row OF bottles which show the compara-
tive consumption of alcohol, in alcoholic
drinks, in the principal countries in the
world. In this comparison Frances bot
tie is ominously large, while the United.
States are represented by modest little
| bottle.
Nowhere else In all the world is there
| single enclosure that contains so much
of interest as the Kremlin az Moscow.
| Within its walls. for n thousand years,
has resided the head of the Russian Gov
ernment and the Russian Church; from
1t has proceeded all civil. military and re-
hgious authority in the greatest despotism
that ever existed, and in it have been
Matched and carried out the bloodiest con-
spiracies that have ever defaced the his
tory of civilized men. 1t saw the end of
Napoleon's endeavors to make himself
dictator of Europe. He came there filled
with pride and glory and purpose; he left
defeated and broken-hearted man. The
most interesting historical object in all
Europe is simple shaft of granite which
rises from the roadside near the town of

sian language. On that side OF the shaft
which faces the west are these words:

Taxing Patriotism.
(From the Boston Globe. }

Under the blessings of a high and rigid
tariff no man is permitted to make a
present to his Government without being
taxed dearly for it. These ridiculous feat
ures of the Dingley bill, which even levy
a fine on patriotism, might easily be
others which do not permit the laugh TO
