DISTRICT COMPLAINTS.
The Three GraceS Receive the Com
plants of a Citizen.

EDITOR GLOBE The people Of the Dis.
trict would like to know why the
three graces"-Faith, Hope and Char
ity-are permitted to dictate the affairs
of the District,
Where do they get their pull and
why are they in the positions they
hold? Faith, the skilled flirt is acting
as private secretary to Commissioner
Ross, where his present unjustifable
salary is added to by, etc, etc. He
bows and scrapes to some, insults 9th
ers, and trys to fiirt with all the ladies
who enter his sanctum sanctorum. He
is carried on the rolls of the street
cleaning department at $1,000, and is
detailed to the 81 900 place as secretary
to Commissioner Ross, the $1,000 man
doing his work in the street cleaning
department.
Hope the big, fiatfaced boy, with
glasses, rapidly advanced from pay
clerk assessor. Why does he lord 1t
over all at the District Building, and
be allowed to insult whoever he pleases
when they call at the Office for infor-
nation in reference to taxes? Why is
this boy allowed to refund taxes as he
pleases, and why does he not treat all
fair? How much is in the deal?
This scheming boss did not fail to
have his sister and Cousin Carrie ap'
pointed to good.paying position in his
Office where they dOmineer over the
other clerks who do not happen to be
related to the big boss.
Charity the street hanger on
disburssr. Why is he permitted to
withhold poor unfortunates' pay until
they pay unjust claims? Is he mem.
ber OF some collecting agency? If so,
what is the rake off?"

Oh! who would plunge in Lethe's
stream,
The past to wash away,
When Memory blest, at task, in dream,
All griefs can well repay?
Swift CLEANS the fash which skies IL
lume
When loud the thunders peal,
Thus Memory lights our prison gloom
And soothes the pain we feel,
In dungeon retrospection now
We hear a voice long mute,
And nightly raise a crime-stained brow
To soft and fond salute.
The scenes again of bOyhood's sport,
The gloamings rich with lays
And twilight tales-we dreaming
court,
As in the bygone days.
When throbs our hearts for those no
more,
Their pure souls troOping come,
In bright-winged circles round us soar,
Till brooding griefs succumb.
Eternal Love, sweet queen Of life!
Soft sister of the gods!
Immortal thou DER Deaths fell strife
And fearless when 1t mods.
When Love and Memory's tendrils
twine
Around the convict's heart,
He feels his origin divine
And reigns his better part.
On tender Love to his sad soul
Is Hone and Faith and Life!
While Memory paints that hallowed
goal
The home of babes and wife!

The faint in heart are weak Of mind,
And shfver at misfortunes blast;
The brave are bright, of human kind,
And men and brothers to the last
'Tis true, we're told that men are bent
Just as their inclinations make 'em,
Poor creatures of environment,
Bending reeds-each breeze can
shake en-.
O! tits not so--believe it not
OF prisoners here, there breathe
few
Who nobly tread the thorny path
Which withered flowers of hope be-
strew.
As vernal spring revives the earth
That torpid sleeps through winter
chill
So glows his spirit though inert,
He walks, brave man-and brother
stIl.
The orb of day will sometimes give
To blackest clouds the brightest lin
ing
And darkest fogs but moments live
When they feel the warm sun shin
ing.
'Tis thus the noble spirit sees
The fOgs and clouds of trouble rise,
And calmly waits the sun or breeze
That melts or watts them to the
skies,
His soul from base emotions free,
His heart still tender, true and kind,
He waits the hour Of liberty,
To greet the loved he left behind
Not such are shamed with criminal
files,
Nor marks nor page of purpose
shame,
The man Of mind disdainful smiles
At terror Of an outlaw name.
Cold reason through his suffering
guides,
While logic soothes the cheeks that
burn,
His noble soul with wisdom chides
His baser parts which penance
spurn,
This felon, who, his manhood saves,
Condemn him, Natures Godl who
can?
He walks serene midst guards and
slaves
"The minds the standard Of the
man."

So much for convict depravity, as
EXPRESSED in rhyme. Touching the dis
position, reformation and rehab4lita'
tion of men undergoing imprisonment
we will take up the latest offered So
luton of the problem as advanced by
Senator Charles II. Dietrich, of Ne
braska. While this solution refers
alone. it is presumed, to United States
prisoners, the principle equally applies
to State prisoners, of whom there are
all told, on rough estimate, 10000 in
the numerous States prisons through
out the csuntry.
The correspondent who had the hen
or of interviewing Senator Dietrich
on his views, says
Federal control of penitentiaries,
the parolling of the greater number OF
the prisoners and the utilization Of
their energies in constructing irrlga-
ton bitches and water reservoirs in
the arid west are some of the changes
which Senator Charles H. Dietrich, OF
Nebraska, will aim to bring about by
introducing a bill embracing all these
features in the next Congress. By his
scheme he purposes to better the con-
dition Of the prisoners and at the same
time make their labors useful no SO
ciety.
Recently he conferred with his col
league. Senator J. II. Millard, and dis
cussed the basic principles of the plan.
Congressman Elmer j. Burkett and
David II. Mercer also were present,
with two well-known constitutional
lawyers. Senator Dietrich made known
his views on convict labor, and they
were heartily indorsed by his col
leagues. The attorneys failed to see
any Constitutional objections to his
proposed course Of action. AS a result
of the meeting, Senator Dietrich hast
ened to Washington to work out the
details of his scheme and draw up the
bill He will have the hearty support
and cooperation of the remainder Of
the Nebraska delegation, who will try
to secure additional aid from the rep
resentatives Of the arid States.
Senator Dietrich purposes to divide
the United States into immense dis
tricts. In each one of them a Federal
prison will be maintained. To the Fed
eral prisons all convicts will be sent.
The authorities at each penitentiary
will he required to select all orderly,
well.behaved convicts for labor in the
arid regions. These men are to be pro.
vided with citizens clothing and taken
to the scene of their labors, where they
will be treated as ordinary workmen.
Good conduct and efficient labor weuld,
OF course, greatly shorten the sentence.
Besides the men would be allowed a
fair sum each month for their serv-
ices This would be saved and given
to the prisoners when discharged.
In t,ls way the task Of redeeming
the barren lands in the Western States
could be cheaply and economically
done by men who are now pining in

Judge Cox, eX,judge OF the District
Supreme Court, is still on earth, with
his funny jokes When he tells them
not a soul laughs but himself. OF
course, one or two of the students will
give him the merry "ha! hal" occasion
ally, just TO make the old man feel
good, and also to make him hurry over
with his lecture, which proves very

AGAIN FACE GALLOWS
DUNCAN WILL BE TRIED FOR
 KIRKLEY's MURDER.
The Accused is Already Under Sem tence of Life Imprisonment. Bura Hall Remanded to Jail
 By Judge Greene.

Birmingham, May 22.-(Speciai.)-- June 10th nas been fixed as the date for the trial of Frank Duncan. on the charge of having murdered G. w. Kirkley, one of the policemen who was killed last March year ago, by safe robbers. following the robbery of the Standard oil Company's safe. Duncan Is under sentence of life imprisonment for the murder of Officer J. W. Adams and Frank Miller is under sentence of death for the same murder. The kill ing of Kirkley and Adams occurred at the same time. They had Duncan and Miller under arrest when the prisoners broke away and the shooting followed. Miller is to hang on June 18th and the trial of Duncan for the Kirkley mur- der was fixed before that date in order that Miller might be used as a witness. The theory of the officers is that Dun- can is the man who was under charge of Kirkley while Miller was with Adams. This theory was borne out at the trial for the murder of Adams and explains why it was that Miller got death sentence and Duncan life im- prisonment. The men were indicted jointly but the State has secured severance for Duncan in the case of the Kirkley murder. The trial will, occur before Judge Green in the Crimi- nal Court.
