PREJUDICE---WHAT 1T is AND
DOES.

Much has been charged in the political
developments OF this State, in recent
years, to prejudice. Its effects have been
manifest. We are sure however, that
there are some well meaning persons who
have been deceived as to what this active
prejudice is, and what it has done. With
this thought in mind, we have found the
following apt and exhaustive portraiture
of prejudice. It is apropos. We give it
as follows:
Prejudice is prejudgment. It is form
ing an opinion without examining the
facts; it is hastily accepting conclusion
without investigating the evidence upon
which it rests; it is allowing ourselves
to be hoodwinked and deceived, when the
slightest reflection would keep us from
such Il mistake, it is being satisfied with
hearsay, when we should demand the
proof; it is rejecting everything at first
sight, which does not confirm our former
convictions or suit our former tastes or
agree with our preconceived ideas; it is a
revolt against the unpalatable and dis
tasteful; it is a deep-seated reluctance
to part with that to which we have been
accustomed-a persistent hesitation to ac-
cept as true what we have not hitherto
believed; wicked unwillingness to ad-
init that we can be wrong and others
right. 1t favors or condemns upon the
slightest preteXt; it recoils or embraces
as it is moved by caprice. 1t is not linn
tied to persons-has to do with places,
and creeds, and parties, and systems;
hence its influence is extensive and its
evils manifold. Prejudice does not hold
opinions; it is held by them. Its views
are like plants that grow upon rocks, that
stick fast, though they have no roofing
1t looks through juandiced eyes: it listens
with itching ears: it speaks in partial
biased accents. 1t clings to that which
it should relinquish, and relnquishes
that to which it should cling. When
beaten it remains defiant; when disproyed
and vanquisneu, it is sulcn and obsti-
nate. There is nothing too low for its
love, or too noble for its hatred; nothing
is too sacred for its attacks, or too de-
serving for its aspersions. 1t is as cruel
as il is universal, as unjust as it is re-
lentless: as unforgiying as it is conceited
and ill-tormeu."

ETHICS Oh ECONOMY 2

The demand for pay for work done at
oner recently released from the work
house, raises in interesting point rela-
tive 10 the penal administration of the
State. To the lay mind the demand Is
reasonable one. The work done was
during the period in which this prisoner
was detained under orders to hold him
for court. He had not been tried and
convicted. The law, as We understand
il, milicS the work eNacted from the
prisoners part Of the penalty for the
offence committed. Surely it cannot
be epHtended that Il penalty can be i'm
posed upon any one previous 10 conyic-
tion. This conclusion which appears un-
avodably, forces the acceptance Of one
Of two cApedients. Either prisoners de-
.tainod for trial cannot be compelled to
work, Or the county must pay them for
work done.
The suggestion coming from this oc-
curcnce is that persons under arrest
dlll ICli IbI lIlii Silpultl ne iDIlIUlllltu
TO the custody Of the sheriff, and that
commitments to the workhouse can enly
be made after trial and conviction. II
this view Of the matter proves TO be in
accord with the law, and it appears to
be So iii our view Of it, the old jail and
sheritlss residence at New Castle have
not Vet passed into the realm of deSuc-
tude. This new question raised ut the
beginning of Dclaware's experiment in
convict labor suggests repetition Of
what we have already said about il and
thai is that while there can be no doubt
about the hrniticcncc to them Of the re-
quirtment for labor from the inmates Of
penal institutions, there is question Of
the justice, which we assume to be the
object II the law, Of the requirement
when it compels labor without pay. In
the ease in question the prisoner seems
to have been twice convicted, to have
paid a fine, including the cost Of his
meals, and was compelled to work ten
days for which he was allowed no
pay, and which in no way reduces thu.
fine aud cost penalty imposed upon him,
It appears reasonable to suppose TINT
where labor Is compulsory and without
pay. us a penalty for crime, the fines
and costs ought 70 be omitted. OF tho
value Of the labor eNacted be accepted
in lien Of the fines and cost.
We understand that it is common to
disregard the requirements Of justice in
dealing with the class Of people who
find their way to iais and warehouses;,
and that even the sentimental prison
reforms are incluned to ignore that i'm
portant phase of the matter Sentiment
in prison reform readily loses its element
of care for and interest in the criminal
as an unfortunate member Of the human
family whom it is desirable to reclaim,
and turns to a self-interest which aims
to put the burden of support of the
States penal institutions upon their in
mates, and thus relieve the public of that
expense. We think it should be borne
in mind that the inmates Of the prisons
are not there from choice but from com
