the other hand, it was certainly grave
mistake on the part Of the conserva-
tives to suppose that the Norwegian
liberals would ever consent to pro-
posal of the kind. ........
have on several occasions tried to
lay down the reasons which in my opin-
ion contributed to the ultimate result
Of this crisis Of 1905. I will sum them
up in the words, which, venture to
think, is likely to be the verdict Of his
tory, that the Norwegian conservatives,
owing to series Of circumstances,
played more conspicuous part in the
important events of last summer than
position with respect to the most burn
ing question Of the day. This is indi-
rectly admitted, even by the conserva-
tives themselves.
"June 7 was hard day to u.s. said
one Of their leaders at the conserva-
tive banquet, about fortnight ago.
con that day we had to cancel the
whole Of our political antecedent.'
Notwithstanding this, the course Of
events from the Bernadotte offer to the
election Of Prince Charles of Denmark
as king Of Norway developed spirit
which was decidedly more conservative
than liberal. This being so, an event
ual assent by liberal leaders to the ap-
peal of the conservatives for a polit-
ical cooperation would have been very
inconsiderate, to say the least of it,
from a liberal point of view, as it
would most likely have landed our
political parties in a mess Of great
detriment to the sound political growth
Of the parties and thereby to the coun.
try itself. This view is maintained
thruout the liberal press of Norway
and l wonder if, in the long run, it will
not be admitted even by the conserva.
tives that our public life is best served
by genuine conservative and a gen
uine liberal policy without any arti
fetal amalgamation.
The Party Programs.
The gist Of the liberal as well al
Of the conservative program is Of g
social nature. Both include question:
like old-age pensions, pensions against
invalidity and illness, and self pension
for state officials. On other points the
programs differ, especially as to the
question Of what is generally known al
the "people's pension" scheme
which was originally started from TIT
liberal side in 1894, and which, afte:
having passed thru several committees
is now laid down in a number of com
mittee reports and statistic tables Of :.
nearly frightening voluminousness.
Both programs recommend fnancia
economy, and it is equally strongly rec
commended that eventual reforms shall
be carried out with a close eye upol
the economic power of the state. A

culture as means Of refining the
nature Of the hardened criminal,
is the remarkable experiment that is
being carried on at the territorial pen
itentiary in this city.
In well-equipped, thoroly modern
conservatory, which has been con-
structed within the four grim
walls Of the prison, some of
the most desperate men in Ameri-
can annals Of crime are tax
Ing pathetic delight in caring for a pro-
fusion of flowers Of many kinds. Gen
eral interest is taken in the conserva-
tory, among the $50 convicts in the
penitentiary; and it is no uncommon
thing to see ''lifer,' with record
of blood and violence against his name,
tenderly caring for spotless lily or a
delicately perfumed rose.
- In various penal institutions it has
been found that music has exerted an
uplifting influence on criminals. Men
who cannot be reached in any other
way, have been softened by familiar
hymns or well-rendered productions of
the great masters in music. Floricul-
ture is merely another step in the same
direction, and who shall say that the
refining influence of flowers is not fully
as great as that of music?
Effect Already Apparent.
Indeed, since the convicts in the New
Mexico penitentiary took up this new
work, the morale of the institution has
greatly improved. There is hardly a
convict in the institution who does not
welcome a chance to work among the
flowers. Bouquets are clipped and
taken to lonely cells, and dried flowers
are carefully pressed between the leaves
of books from the penitentiary library
There is something strangely pathetic
in seeing these wearers of striped suits
working with such childish pleasure
among the gay blossoms, and spending
hours rearing plants that, like them
selves in many instances, must live anG
die within the four walls Of the great
prison.
Superintendent H. o. Bursum ha!
been quick to recognize the good thai
the conservatory is doing among tn
inmates of the prison, hence every con
vict who desires to work among thu
flowers is given opportunity to while

- HRISTIANIA, Feb. 23.-It is
4 custom Of long standing in Nor
~ way that the leading political
parties assemble in the election year
to review the situation and draw up
the broad lines on which the campaign
is to be fought out. At these meet
ings, which generally take place in
Christiania in the first week Of Feb
ruary, a few weeks after the reassenl-
bling Of the storthing after the Christ
mas vacancies, representatives from the
local associations Of the conservative
and the liberal parties arrive in the
capital to join in the deliberations.
Many of the representatives are editors
of the local papers, and every respect
able journalist is admitted to the re-
spective party meetings as passive
member for the occasion, without right
OF speaking or voting.
After the drawing up Of the pro-
gram it is put to the vote and sub
mitted to the decision Of the local asso-
Citations, where it is discussed in de-
tail and returned to the respective CEN
trail associations in Christiania at their
early convenience, with the amend
ments which may have been found adj
visable. The program is subsequently
finally settled at new central meet
ing, which takes place in Christiania
or another central town some time in
the spring and becomes the official
electioneering program Of either party.
The important crisis thru which the
country has passed since the represen-
tatives Of the political parties were as
sembled last year added to the impor-
lance Of the meetings held here about
a fortnight ago, but it is not until
tatives to their homes, that the local
journals containing the country s
views on the political situation com.
mence to reach us from the different
places of our far-extended land.
The Offer to Unite.
! At the opening of the liberal meet.
ing at Christiania an address was read
from the conservative meeting in
which the conservatives proposed CO.
operation at the elections, chiefly based
upon the view that the dissolution OF
the union with Sweden had filed ur
the party gap so as to make it possible
for the former conservative and liberia
parties to work together on a joint plat
FORM,
Owing TO the fact that the liberia:
meeting, as stated above, was only &
preliminary meeting, the leaders Of thu
party found it most proper for thu
time being to decline the proposal Of
the conservatives and submit the ques
ton to the decision of the local asso
Citations. It was not to be avoided
that this refusal highly displeased tn
conservatives, altho it was couched il

Against these beautiful backgrounds
move the convicts in. their striped
suits, but the visitor loses all sense of
incongruity in the scene. He forgets
that these men are criminals, and re-
members only that they are men who
are giving expression to their sense and
appreciation of the beautiful. Some
Of the most desperate criminals ever
brought to justice are housed in the
New Mexico penitentiary.
For instance, there is Bronco Bill
train robber and bad man who terror
lied the border for years, and who il
now serving life sentence. But
"Bronco Bill" handles a lily or
rose with all the gentleness Of a woman
and his face is the picture Of content

greenhouse. In short, visit to thi.

to making a convict tractable. A
little time spent among the fresh, beau
tiful plants and flowers will take a con-
Wet IS mind off himself and his condi-
ton. When any man gets to brooding
over things and looking on the dark
side Of everything in general, the worst
elements in his nature are apt to come
uppermost if something ISM done to
interrupt his train Of thought. The
average man goes out and buys him
self few drinks, or maybe goes to the
theater, or takes a little trip in the
woods or fields.
"But the convict can't do those
things, and consequently he is liable to
develop dangerous form of hysteria.
It may eliminate in a desperate at
tempt at securing his liberty, and the
lives Of prison officials may be sacri-
feed; or it may merely result in case
of insubordination, the result of which
is that the convict is put in solitary con-
| f1nement and develops a don't care
spirit that is bad in its general effect.
"Now conservatory is the nearest
thing to outdoors. Once inside the
steam-heated, glass house, surrounded
by these beautiful flowers, and with the
smell Of moist, clean earth in his nos
trils, the convict is lifted out of him
self, so to speak. He forgets for a
moment that he is in prison. He fuses
around among the flowers, and his brain
is soothed by the plash Of the fountain.
Time flies rapidly instead Of dragging
itself along on leaden feet, and the
poor chap actually enjoys life. He
takes the remembrance of all this to
his cell with him-perhaps in the form
Of bouquet. He forgets his troubles
and the black future fades away: He
sings or whistles cheerily, and his good
consciously he assists in raising the
general morale Of the prison.
Prisons to Reform.
IF convicts were given more such
work to do in their idle hours-more
gardening and raising flowers, instead
of moodily pacing about the prison yard
in quest of exercise, or being kept peg
ging at contract labor all day, there
would be fewer tragedies in the peni
tentiaries-fewer attempts to break out
and fewer officials sacrificed in doing
their duty. Anything that can take
a convict IS mind off himself is a great
advance in prison methods. The OLD
idea that men in prison should be made
to suffer as much as possible is nc
longer tenable. The law does not NEAR
that when a man is deprived Of his lib
erty he shall be subjected to menta
tortures that will turn him forever
against society. Consequently every
uplifting idea in prison work should be
welcomed. Music is a great thing fol-
convicts, and we have found that fori
culture is another. Our little green
house has done more good than all the

dark cells and other means Of punish
ment ever devised.''
The conservatory in the New Mexico
penitentiary is close to the main office.
It is heated with steam, and the tenn
perature is always kept at the right
standard. With so many interested
convicts watching it, there is no chance
for the conservatory to feel the blight
ing effect Of a frost. The greenhouse
was laid out and built by expert hands,
and it is maintained in a manner truly
professional. At one end of the CON
servatory, bathed in the bright New
Mexico sunshine, is a FLASHING fountain,
the central figure being a Cupid. At
the other end Of the greenhouse is a
large grotto, with water constantly
playing over the moss-hung rocks.
Long rows of plant beds extend on
either side and in the center, while
stately palms wave overhead.
