The Republican party of Newfork is all Plattform.

Itlooks like burying the hatchet byIhe New York Democracy.

The dry rot of McKinleyism is atjcork in the Republican party.

It has been proved that a fair canbe made to pay without bookmakers.

The supreme court ought to makemore noise in the world when ityets a Hornblower.

Mr. Corbett and Mr. Fitzsimmonshave almost as many fine points to

settle as Iselin and Dunraven.

The last joint reception held by

the blue and the gray at Chicka-mauga was hotter than this one will

be. _ '

Times are better all over the Unionixcept in Kansas. Ingalls is running

for senator, and St. John is going

back.

Pittsburg is to have a $2,000,000flepot. We had no idea that theretvere so many people who wanted toget out of the city.

They ought to bring that unrecon-structed "secesh" from Missouri upto Chicago and put him on exhibitionln place of Libby prison.

Up to this morning only 9,483 news-papers had adopted, in headlines orparagraphs, the remark of theGlobe that L<ord Dunraven wasnot done ravin. ?TJ.

Milwaukee escapes distinction bydenying- that it omitted intentionallythe name of Gov. Altgeld from a listof guests invited to attend its semi-centennial celebration.

One moment the Republicans de-clare that they are for "sound mon-ey," and the next they turn aboutto root for the greenback as vocifer-ously as Coxey himself.

An Illinois conference will declareoverwhelmingly in favor of the ad-mission of women as delegates tofuture lay conventions of the Metho-dist church. Will they be permit-ted to wear bloomers?

The United States never ceases toboast of its public school system;yet there is scarcely a city of anysize in the country where there areschool buildings enough to accom-modate all the pupils.

With the ticket made out and theplatform written by Boss Piatt inadvance, perhaps some New YorkRepublican will arise and state whyit was necessary to go to the botherand expense of holding a convention.

Mayor Hopkins denies outright

the charge that he advised or en-couraged the great railroad strikein Chicago. As far as Hopkins isconcerned, it probably doesn't mat-ter much whether it was true orfalse. ?* :-

The Chicago Tribune "calls down"- the Pioneer Press for charging Pres-ident Cleveland with secret treach-ery to his party and its principles onthe tariff question, and asks it to. please furnish names. We imaginethat the demand will not be com-plied with. Z-ZZZZZ

WOLFER OflPflftOliESTILLWATER'S WARDEN ON

THE HANDLING OF CRIMINAL

CLASSES.

TREAT THEM HUMANELY.

—STRONG ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR

OF THE PAROLE: SYS- 'I TEM.

TREND OF MODERN PENOLOGY.

Chaplain Albert Relieve*. Himselfon the- Subject of Barriers

Against Crime.

DENVER, Col., Sept. 16.— The Den-ver prison congress opened today

with the annual address of Capt.Joseph Nicholson, of Detroit, presi-dent of the National Prison associa-tion. His address was a model ofbrevity, merely urging upon the

delegates pertinent terseness in theirdiscourse. There were fiftydelegates -

i present.eleven of whom were women.

Col. R. S. Allen, warden of the Joliet,111., penitentiary-, read a paper on"Convict Labor." The contract sys-tem, he said, was inhuman, and musteventually be abolished. Under itcontractors were enriched and con-victs ruined. Col. Allen said thestate account system in vogue a£Joliet was a complete success. Inthe discussion that followed WardenChambers, of Michigan, declared thestate account system was a successin that, state. _

Henry.. Wolfer, warden of the Still-water, Minn., penitentiary, read ' ahighly instructive paper on "TheParole System in Penitentiaries." Hesaid: :f".:y .. ...-...v-y

"Much has been said and written andmuch speculation Indulged "in concern-ing the trend of modern penology. Be-tween the theorist- and the practicalworker there is ever an open field fordebate. In discussing the subject as-signed to me, 'The Parole System inPenitentiaries,' I desire to present onlya few brief thoughts, that have oc-curred to me in the experience we havehad in what I believe to be the prac-tical application of the grading andparole system in a prison.' As a cham-pion of the system I wish to record ltas my honest conviction that the grad-ing and parole system,, properly ap-plied, furnishes the only foundation forthe adjustment of a humane and ra-tional system of prison government.When Isay prison government, Imeanall that may be implied as necessaryin the management of penal institu-

—prisons, as well as reforma-tories. If the parole system is goodfor the reformatory, it is also good forthe prison, for it is conceded that allprisons should be reformatory in char-acter, insofar as they may be made soby the adoption of the best means at-

tainable :' for the bringing' out of re-formatory effects. Our experience inthe application of the grading and pa-role system has stimulated a growingconfidence in its efficacy. It will enablethe management to come nearer reach-ing all grades and conditions of men(criminals) than any other system yetintroduced. Environment, one of themost potent factors in the developmentor retrogression of human character,is here strongly exemplified. Itplacesthe prisoner in his prison communityas the citizen in the enjoyment of allhis rights. As he obeys the laws andkeeps in harmony with the require-ments of good government, he makesprogress. In the proportion as he fallsto do so he retrogrades. Every Induce-ment is thus offered the prisoner forthe cultivation of habits of obedience,industry, vigilance, and the best ap-plication of his mental and physicalabilities. It recognizes every honest,manly effort put forth on the part ofthe prisoner to raise himself in thescale of manhood. \u0084 . _ . . . . Z. y;

HOW TO GOVERN WELL. , ;

"In other words, the administration;through the, help of a well regulatedgrading amd parole system, managesto govern well by governing as littleas possible. The adjustment of the sys-tem is the government itself, and itsoperation is in harmony with the in-ternal elements of individual rightsand self-respect, thus creating a pow-erful leverage for the regulation of hu-man conduct. It has the , sympathyand support of the best elements of theprison population. Any prison gov-ernment, or, for that matter, any gov-ernment that does not have the sup-port of Its best members, cannot sue.ceed, as the object of all prison gov-ernment is for the protection of soci-ety and reformation of j the * criminal.All systems of prison government thatdo not conduce directly to this end arefailures. My experience has been thatthere can always be found material Inany prison upon which the grading andpaorole system can be made to workwith perfect success. It brings out thebest elements of a prison populationand relegates to the rear the unworthy.Those who cannot, or do not,."wish toqualify as -worthy of parole privileges,?will be at least benefited by ifs pres-ence Its judicious application willraise the moral tone of the prison andwill teach every inmate, in spite -ofhimself, some of the most salutary les-sons of life, thus : lading a foundation?for self-government and disciplinewhich would h£teTave<rmanyTof "themfrom the felon's cell had they enjoyedits benefits earlier In* life. By careful

supervision, it will give the manage-ment almost perfect control of all Itswards under such favorable conditionsas to inspire in the prisoner an innerconsciousness that he is and must bemaster of himself; that whatever dis-ciplinary measures are inflicted areself-imposed; that in proportion as hesucceeds in gaining a good gradestanding, he contributes to a conditionof self-government and makes him-self a better man. . This knowledgestimulates him In his efforts to over-come his weakness,' and -In the'culti-vation of habits of Industry, good or-der and manly conduct Under" Itsstimulus the whole atmosphere of theprison is raised to a higher plane.Cheerful obedience to all rules and reg-ulations -is given in a spirit of goodwill. The prisoner must recognize,and cannot but feel (unless whollybad), that the interests of the adminis-tration are his own best Interests ; thatin proportion as it succeeds, he alsomust succeed. -! --y?

REFORM AND PROTECTION."As the object of imprisonment and

prison government Is for the protec-tion of society and for the reformationof the prisoners, it is plain that thestate does not discharge Its obligationsuntil one or both of these objectsbave been clearly accomplished. Iftheprisoner cannot be reformed, he shouldremain in prison indefinitely. The gen-eral use of the grading and parolesystem In our prisons, together withits concomitant, the indeterminate sen-tence, seems to me to op?n up the wayfor the accomplishment of both ofthese results. The lines along whichthe parole system operates are In har-mony with, and a necessary" part of,the indeterminate sentence. The bestprison managers of the country, aswell as other students of penology,have Indorsed the indeterminate sen-tence. It seems to me that their har-monious co-operation will soon bringabout In all of our prisons such a un-iform system of prison government aswill embrace not only the grading andparole system in a high degree ofefficiency, but also its cap-sheaf, theindeterminate sentence, together withsuch a perfect system of Identificationas will enable the management- toquickly apprehend and return to prisonthose who will not abstain from livesof crime. All students of penologyagree that a person convicted of crimeshould be committed to prison as theinsane person to an asylum, to re-main there until cured, or until it shallappear reasonably safe; to test his pur-pose and ability to lead an honest life,and that when the prisoner has givensuch evidenca of his purpose to leadan honest and self-supporting life, heis entitled to trial. How can he beschooled for citizenship in prison with-out the grading system? How tried,when he has apparently given all nec-essary proof of his ability to live hon-estly, without the parole system? andfinally, how can substantial benefitsbe derived in the way of protection tosociety and the reformation of thecriminal _ without the Indeterminatesentence? ? ' ??y- f'ZZy.yyy\u25a0 "Men convicted of crimes who pos-sess criminal , instincts, and- followlives of crime from choice, dislike noth-ing so much ! as the grading and parolesystem, the indeterminate . sentence,and the : Bertillion ,' - system . ofmeasurement for the Identification ofcriminals. In all of these systems healmost intuitivelydiscovers great dan-ger to bis liberty. Once, prove to thisclass of : our criminal population thatthe grading and parole system, the in-determinate sentence and the Bertillionsystem of identification have come tostay as a part of a uniform system' ofprison government, to be . admin- .istered by trained and efficientprison officers, and you will have re-duced - the prison _ population by one-half in a comparatively short time.All who have observed the criminaland his ways know that speedy appre-hension and punishment for crimescommitted are to the criminal the mostpowerful deterrents.

AN IMPERFECT SYSTEM. ' ..."Under our imperfect system, as a

whole lacking In unifority and method-ical management, the criminal seesmany loopholes for possible escape. . Hecommits crime with impunity, consol-ing himself with the thought that ifapprehended he will manage somehowto escape punishment; that if impris-oned, it will be but a short time _atmost, because, as he believes, he willsoon work his way to liberty by thevarious methods so well known to thecriminal. His easy experience in de-feating the ends of justice 'adds zestto' his appetite for new adventures, andhe goes forth with renewed zeal toagain try his luck, determined on pro-fiting by past; experience to the extentonly of avoiding future meshes alongthe same road. The hazardous ex-citement attending this kind of a lifehas its charms for the adventurouscriminal, so long as there are so manychances to escape. Cut off thesechances and he willbe among the firstto discover the changed conditions.Demonstrate that the criminal will bevigorously and Intelligently dealt withby. a uniform system of prison govern-ment, such as I have outlined, and byone master stroke you will have in-fluenced one-half of our criminal popu-lation to abandon lives of crime. Re-duce his chances of escape and youwill lessen In a corresponding degreehis desire for following a life of crime.Convince the criminally Inclined thatthey cannot escape the consequences ofviolated laws, or that their chances arereduced to a minimum, and you will•have struck a tellingblow at the very iroots 1 of crime. '! '.'Since medical science has discoveredand demonstrated . the germ theory ofdisease, a growing feeling exists thatall disorders to which flesh is heir aremore or less contagious. This I be-lieve to be equally as true of crime.Turn one shrewd, cunning criminalloose in a community, and he will sowseeds of crime wherever he can findsusceptible ground. The damage he iscapable of doing is incalculable. Sud-denly we hear of some criminal act inour midst, perpetuated by one we haveknown for years. We are shocked andgrieved, and cannot fathom its mean-ing. But a careful 'Investigation intothe details of his life will show that,while there has been a gradual moraldegeneracy going on forsome time, theseeds of that disorder were sown someyears before, and the crime is but thebudding of the seeds sown on fruitfulground. Do away with this death-de-stroying, seed-planting leper, and few-er criminals will be made.

HABITUAL CRIMINALS. *

"The system of prison governmentI. have outlined . Is admirably adaptedfor the treatment of the habitualcriminal, and for caring for him in-definitely when he cannot be cured.I believe it is the experience of every

. ; prison man that there are few re-forms In well-developed criminal na-tures under our present imperfect sys-tem of management The criminal bynature is a migratory animal, travel-ing from one state to another.

y COL. GRANT'S ADDRESS.Col. Grant's address was unusually

Interesting. It outlined Gen. Grant'scampaign for closing the war, and de-scribed the order In which Gen." Grantwould have narrated the story in ?«_£second .volume of his memoirs" had hislife been, spared. On being appointedlieutenant general and assuming com-mand, Gen. Grant, naa an interviewwith President Lincoln, who wanted

• some one to take the . responsibility ofaction, and called upon him for"sup-plies, . the president -pledging -the jfullr

powers, of the government in. renderingall the assistance -possible.? : "Gen.Grant then planned -movements for. all?of the armies to move at once. He re-garded the Army of the James as theleft wing,? the- Army of, the Potomacas the center and troops operating un-der Sherman, ofwhich the Army of theTennessee was a most Important part,as the right .wing, all other troops be-ing co-operative columns. By continu-ous hammering- against the Confeder-ate armies, he proposed to destroy boththem and their sources. of supply."

\u25a0".- Col. Grant compared the movementof . the Army of the Potomac': to thatof Napoleon In the Russian campaign,while the plain reference to the wholearmy resembled that adopted ?by theallies In their campaign against Francein 1813-14. He outlined how the ' Con-federates had concentrated their troopsalong the Mississippi into the armiesof Lee and Johnston; how Gen. Grantplaced himself with the Army of thePotomac where the greatest opposition

; was expected, sent • Sherman againstJohnston, and Sheridan through theShenandoah valley.' " Oh May 4 theArmy of the Potomac moved, and on !May 6 all were moving. iBy May 11 the. Southern troops were forced to act en-tirely,on the defensive and the Unionlines had been considerably advanced.*

\u25a0It' was at the end of the first, week ofthis campaign that " Gen. Grant pro-'posed, to fight it out on this line if it-took all summer. The second phase ofthe plan was to keep the enemy within'the besieged cities, Richmond, Peters-burg and Atlanta, and actively engagethe outside troops, to drive all thesmaller commands to the South, to de-vastate the country, from which sup-plies were draw-*., arid to destroy thosewho gathered these supplies.

______________IF. HE FINDS THE AUTHORITIES

ARE NOT ALL ON ONESIDE.

HIS COURSE DECIDED IPOS,

Minnesota's Legal RepresentativeWill Be Heard From in a.

'Few Days.

' Attorney General Childs is arrangeing to take a hand in the questionof the consolidation of the GreatNorthern and Northern Pacific rail-ways. He was interesting himselfin the matter before Judge San-born's decision was filed. In fact,it was reported last week that nomatter what was the decision inthe United States court he wouldbring an action himself on behalf ofthe state to prevent the proposedconsolidation. Whether AttorneyGeneral Childs got the idea that agood many other people did, thatthe present suit was purely a friend-ly one, a sort of precautionarystep to test the legality of the movebefore consummating it, is notknown, but he' made up his mindthat such a move as contemplatedby the roads would not be in theInterest of the state or the people,and that, as the legal representative,he would fight it. That he has notchanged his mind is believed to beevidenced by the fact that he willnot deny that he is preparing to doso. He told a reporter for theGlobe yesterday afternoon that hehad decided not to say anythingabout what he intended to do. Heis, therefore, thinking ofdoing some-thing, and that something will de-velop in a few days.

Since the filingof Judge Sanborn'sdecision Gen. Childs has been devot-ing all of his time, or most of it, go-ing over the document The verylarge number of references and au-thorities quoted has taken a gooddeal of time. Every citation has.been looked up carefully. Yester-day the general spent much of theday buried in legal volumes in thelaw library at the capitol. He isstudying every point referred to .inthe decision, and unless these havethoroughly shaken him in his opin-ion regarding issue he will go onwith the plan 'he- mapped out for

. himself several days ago. When hehas prepare'^- his case, if he does, he"will file it in the ? Ramsey countydistrict court. There he expects afavorable decision, and any appeal-ing that is done will have to be bythe interested railroad companies.

• It would seem that Gen. Childshad no faith in the suit before JudgeSanborn from the start. It is under-stood that he was invited, if noturged, to come in as intervener whenthe case was started. He, however,refused to do so, preferring to mapout his, own. course and carry thething himself . rather than mix upwith a suit of which he was suspi-cious. He did not then nor does henow believe that the Great Northernroad has such a vested right as willpermit it to

*

consolidate with theNorthern Pacific, but that there isto be found legal backing for op-position to such a course in the lawsof Minnesota. If he does pursuethe course laid down he will have,as backing, the judgment of a -wholelot of lawyers, for many of them whohave read Judge Sanborn's decision,according to reports heard yesterday,are inclined to doubt that it wouldmeet the stamp of approval of thasupreme court.

MEXICAN PROGRESS. 'President Dine Rejoices Over

Rapid Advancement.CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 16.-Presi-

dent Diaz opened congress this eveningwith a lengthy address on nationalaffairs, in which he congratulated therepublic upon Its friendly relationswith other states and nations. In thecourse of his speech he said:

"Both our exports and imports con-tinue to increase at a remarkable ra eand the same can he said of the localtrade of the country, as evidenced byfigures attained by customs collectionsand receipts. During the fiscal yearto June 30 last the customs receiptsamounted to over $20,000,000. and thoseof the stamp office to $15,500,000. Theliquidation of the old debt in Its en-tirety, from the colonial regime to1882, and of. claims and credits subse-quent to the latter conversion of partof the floating debt presented for col-lection and payment of balance, andfinally the reduction" to a commonbasis of numerous classes of subven-tion bonds given to railway and othercompanies, are now all but com-pleted, and have produced results thatconstitute a most convincing proof ofexcellent credit enjoyed by our nationalsecurities, owing to the . unwaveringand scrupulous . determination of therepublic to redeem Its pecuniary oblUgations throughout the prolonged!financial crisis which, happily, seemanow to be at an 'end.

"From statements to which I havelistened I may. infer the nation has not;abandoned the, march onward which ithas inaugurated for peace and order,in the development of Its resources*There is special ground for congratula-tion in the present financial position'

.after a long and weary struggle withInnumerable difficulties. So far, how-ever from being insuperable, thesedifficulties' are now impotent to "hoconsolidation- of our credit and thewave ofprosperity, which cannot but belfelt in all parts of the country, withsteady, progress in all departments ofthe - administration - following on ahealthy .and flourishing state of na-tional finances; I trust that," In thefacts laid before you, you will not fallto discern the desire of the executiveto hasten as far as possible so desira-ble-development In order to achievethis happy, result, I. rely, for myself,upon your indispensable support, and,for the republic on the patriotic effortsof her talented ' legislators."
