Prosperity Makes Men Good.

Has the changed industrial condition
In Wisconsin stopped the food OF the
population in the state prison? Or
has some other influence operated to
bring about the ebb now appearing in
the record?
Secretary NJ. J Tappins of the state
board Of control says that, in his
opinion, the explanation lies in the
first suggestion and that because
times are better" there are fewer
men in state prison Eight months
ago the board of control was worried
over the prospect. confidently expect
ing that by the end of the fiscal year
1876 the number of convicts would
reach LOO. At that time the popu-
lation OF the prison was 92l, a record
for the institution
Since then however conditions
have reversed and has been a gradual
decrease until now the total is only
500. Today the board Of control meets
and sits as a pardon and parole board
at the prison and will probably grant
freedom to twenty-five or thirty. bring
ing the total population to about eight
hundred and seventy.
