'rot BRITAIN'S NEW- PRISON REGULATIONS;THINGS TALKED OF DURING THE WEEK IN NELSON. 7-V The New Prison Regulations, which came into force in Britain on April 1, are an indication of tlie tendency of reee'nt years to make punishment ed- ucational in its character. The new regulations prescribe that there shall be a separate clacsification of convicts sentenced to penal servitude,, who on conviction were under the ago of twenty-one years, and this as soon as possible after conviction and after a full-enquiry into tlie general character and antecedents of,each convict. The classification is as follows: Selected convicts under the oge of eighteen ; convicts never previously convicted or who are not habitual criminals-or of corrupt habits and who are considered to be eligible for the star class, and or- dinary convicts not eligible. .The classes are as far as practicable to be kept separate from each other and from the*'older convicts, and the governor and: chaplain are required to devote special attention with a view to acquiring personal influence over them They . are-tobe taught the ordinary subjects of the elementary education code by lectures and addresses and-'by the provision of library books and useful literature. Separate treatment is no longer to be considered good, for the prisoners are to be employed in a^soci*-' tion in workshops or in outdoor work such as farming and specially in-.. sbructed'in useful trades and industries fitting them after their release to earn their livelihood in an honest -way. The work that is done by the various \"Discharged\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPrisoners' Aid Societies is officially recognized by tlie provision . that allows special -'am. iigements' to be made with them.for tlie future welfare of those.who.'have served their sentences. r The division and classification of prisoners serving a term of penal servitude is in future tb be as follows: There is to be an ordinary division, which consists of three subdivisions .and a long-sentence division. In the ordinary division the convict who h'as not been previously convicted 01 who is not an habitual criminal or of corrupt habits is eligible for the llrst or starjclass. An intermediate class includes convicts who by reason of their general character and antecedents are not considered suitable .-i u. starolass and who are yet not considered bad enough to place in the recidivist class. The third or recidivist class is to comprise those.who have been previously sentenced to penal servitude or whose record shows grave or persistent crime or prisoners whose license under a sentence of penal-servitude has been re- yoked. Promotion to or degradation from the intermediate class may be earned by proof of reformation or by the gxercise ofn bad influence on their prison \"associates. While all male prisoners serving a term of penal servitude must pass the first of their sentence in solitary confinement the periods vary according to the class in which they are placed. All' female convicts pass the first three; months of .theirsentences in solitary confinement. Tbe long sentence division consists of convicts, as the term denotes,who are required to serve long 'terms of penal serTitude. These, ris far as practicable, are to be_ kept in a prison or part of a prison set aside for them, they are to wear a special dress, and the seeming hopelessness of their lot is to be relieved by a provision tbat tbey may earn by special industry, with good conduct, a gratuity continuously throughout their sentence according to a prescribed scale, and a portion of such gratuity may be. used for the purchase of certain articles of comfort or relaxation,.to be purchased-from the prison store. The remainder of the. gratuity will be applied.jtfter careful enquiry, for the benefit of the convict. Meals are to be allowed in association, and conversation Ai perm i ted both at hours of exercise and at meals, but not at labor. Abuse of the privileges will result in degradation to tlie ordinary division.. JOHN L. SULLIVAN GIVES GOOD ADVICE i The discussion in connection with {he discharge of S. Coulter, the late driver of the lire hall team, and the appointment of one O'Connor in his place, is developing in interest. Coulter was discharged without cause, at least Mayor Houston has as yet advanced no reasonable excuse for bis act and the chief of the lire brigade bears testimony to the former chief's efficiency. Mayor Houston claims to have special powers .and..-privileges under tlie act governing'municipalities, and a majority .of'the,' council maintain, and reasonably so, tliat the mayor has interpreted the act to suit his own purposes\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDindeed, the latter is the view taken hy the citizens gencr- rally. Those who have studied the clause on which Mayor Houston bases his preposterous claim, cannot see how His Wort hip can place the construction upon it be has in dealing with Coulter. However, he seems determined to adhere to his own ih'terpre- tation of the clause, and, as usual, he is abusing everyone who differs with him. He is issuing all-kinds of idiotic challenges to confound his alleged \"enemies.\" He asks Aid. Bird to sue him for libel, seeming to forget that there is hot much satisfaction in prose- outing a man for libel who crawls when he gets into court and hastens to tender the most abject apology when lie realizes that be is beaten. Coulter is accustft of having used an obscene expression in referring to Miiyor Houston. This is denied by Coulter. Indeed, it is believed tliat the words .suggested by dashes in the Tribune arte more likely to have beeu selected by Mr. Houston from his own chaste vocabiilaryCand attributed to the inoffensive Coulter for a purpose. But this is not the question. It is, is Mayor Houston absolute, and is the majority in the council there merely for ornamental purposes? If so, why are the ratepayers every year called upon to elect aldermen ? -Why, indeed, is there a \"Progressive Party *'? There seems to be only one way to settle the dispute, and that is by an appeal to the courts to interpret the clause in the act* Inthe meantime it \"Don't ever foul-in your bout with life,\"'gnicl John 'L. Sullivan, addressing the convicts in', the Marquette State -Penitentiary, \"for the law is the referee and the decision will go against yon, and go hard, some time or other.

John Ij. was en route to Seattle, ami when the convicts heard^he was going through Marquette they joined in a request that they be allowed to invito liim to talk to them.

NUMBER 4> NOW \" WHO IS PROFESSOR BRYCE ?\ Under the caption, \"Who is Prof. Bryce?\" the Toronto Mail and Empire has the following : The coercionists are trotting out all. thc old timber they ean find with a view to bolstering up tlieir cause. Their latest discovery is Prof. Bryce, of Winnipeg, who is represented as \"a great authority on education,\" and as heartily in favor of coercion\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDonly he wants it called by another name. Who is this professor of coercionist proclivities? Mr. Bryce has a history, which shows him to be about as stable as water, and as impartial as Clifford Sifton. Before Prof. Bryce supposed that the Separate school question would be made an issue by his party in Manitoba he had the misfortune to write a book, in which he came out strongly and indeed enthusiastically in favor of the Separate school system. He stated in the book (page 312) that \"the Local Legislature of Manitoba has paid its book form. When in 189G the Federal Government wanted to _restore the system which Prof. Bryce had pronounced wise, the professor became furious. He published a magazine article pronouncing (he system of Separatism impossible, and wanted to know- how the Mormons could be refused the right to teach their doctrines, if Roman Catholics were permitted to teach theirs in their schools? From.the. press the professor went tothe General Assembly ofthe Presbyterlkn Church, and delivered violent speeches against coercion. \"It is not a political ques- tion,\" he said. \"It is a question ot religion. It is a question as to whether, we shall be able, in the faceof a concrete and united and powerful influence in the Dominion, to let our provinces* have the education they desire or not!\" Prof. Bryce was against Separate schools, although he favored them a - few years before, and he was irrecon- = \" ; \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD r\" \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD rc\" ..cui\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD u-iore, ana ne was irrecon- best atteution to Public schools for the | cilably oppotcd to coercion or Federal education of the people.

Thereupon Prof. Bryce turned round an d declared himself as opposed to tlie schools, which he had previously stated had been wisely and fortunately provided. ._ The Bryce literature against Separate schools was quite voluminous and not not thus tied to the peo.ffl; of the West, there will be doubts as to whether they are compulsory, and, as a consequence, litigation; ' What fs to~be said of a man' o^ this kind ?

Cases which come up suddenly at race meetings are always handled by the Newmarket committee. If the secretary is notified of the case in tlie evening the committee ean beappealed to next morning and the case can be disposed of.\" One rf the gravest offences either a bookmaker or backer has to fear from these committees is a failure to liquidate his betting liabilities. According to tlie rules of betting he lias a whole year to settle the debt ; if 'he fails lo do so he is then posted in a conspicuous place at Newmarket and at Tattersalls, and he is then branded for life. The defaulter is also reported this does not mean that he can do business in the grand stand or any place his fancy tempts him. The local race committee stipulates where hesliallset up shop and he has to be satisfied with the location or else get out. Bookmakers, too, have to be careful of their language and a few have been known to be reprimanded for the use of words considered in the United States to be part of the eveiyday vocabulary. Several years ago the Jockey Club refused an application by some swell bookmakers for the privilege of erecting a temporary umbrella over their heads. Everyone has heard of \"Davy Crockett's 'ccon,\" the one which said, \"Don't shoot, I will come down.\" To \"come down like Davy Crockett's 'coon\" ii a colloquial expression in common use. Crockett and the'coon ** , , that came clown are so popularly associated that to attempt to disconnect them is well nigh to attempt the impossible. To explain a thousand times that it was not Davy Crockett to whom the 'coon came down were without effect; the world hus it \"Davy Crock ett's'coon,\" and the world will have it so, and there it stands. Thc real hero of the'coon story wta Capt. Martin Scott; the story was a tribute to bis skillasa rifleshot. Scott was a brave man and a good American soldier ofthe Mexican War period, and he deserved to be remembered ; but even such credit as tbe 'coon story attributed to him has been filched from him and \"given to another, who did not need it. Scott wad a native of Vermont. From liis youth he was famous as a shot. An exploit of his twelfth year was the slaying, unaided and alone, with his father's purloined smoothbore, of a marauding bear which had defied the entire posse comitatus ofthe grown-upsof the neighborhood. There were no laws in those days for the protection of sheep-stealing bears. A feat of Scott's mature years was the cure of a sick man by shooting him. Thi heroic treatment was administered in a duel. Scott shot his antagonist through the lungs. The man had been sick with consumption, but from that moment began to mend, and got well. If Scott did not actually effect the cure, he at least had the credit of it. The 'coon story was printed about the year 1840, l\\e years after the death of Crockett. It wus told of Capt. Scott, and ran like this: \"Capt. Martin Scott was out iu the woods one day with a party of friends, hunting. They wcrescatted through Ihe woods, each hunting separately. One of the party at length came upon a raccoon that was sitting in one of thc highest branches of a very tall tree, lie fired at him and missed. One by one the rest of the party came up and tried tlieir hand, each missing the distant 'coon, who grew saucier as they proceeded. At length Capt. Scott arrived and was in the aot of pulling trigger, when the'coon looked slyly around the limb and said : \"Who are you?\" \"I am Scott?\" \"What Scott?\" \"I am Capt. Scott.\" \"Are you Capt. Martin Scott?\" \"Thesame.\" \"Well,\" said the 'coon, iinlimbering himself, \"you need not shoot; I will comedown.\" THE NELSON ECONOMIST THE NELSON ECONOMIST Published every Saturday afternoon at Vernon Street, Nelson, B; C. $1 Per leaf Strictly in Advance Advertlslrigrates made known on application.

One of the many differences to be noted between our Mr. Kennedy and his patron saint, is that Sir Wilfrid Laurier risks bis political party on behalf of his religion, while Mr. Kennedy sacrifices the principles of his church to the interests of the political party whose livery he wears.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDNew Westminster Columbian. Courage, in the sight of Hon. G. W. Ross, was the pe-stilejice that stalketh in the midnight. Aggressive honesty, also, in the sight of Mr. Ross, was the destruction that wasteth nt noonday. When Mr. Ross contemplates all that sincerity and courage have clone for J. P.

William McDougall will come almost as a surprise to many, so completely had Mr. McDougall dropped out ot the public ken. An invalid for a nHinder of years, he had ceased to be a factor in the political life\" .-of the country for a considerable time before he was incapacitated by physical infirmity. As one of the \"Fathers of Confederation''* Mr. McDougall will chiefly be remembered, although he played no inconsiderable part in the political history of the country immediately preceding and following the year 1867. His appointment as Lieutenant-Governor of-.-Manitoba, and the refusal of the settlers to allow him to assume the duties of the position, forms'an interesting episode in the early history of the Prairie Province. ...With cousiderable.abiiity Mr. McDougall suffered from certain defects of temperament which prevented liim playing that part in politics and administration that otherwise occasion seemed to have opened for hiin.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD News-Advertiser.- Mr. John Houston, M.

Mr. Houston is a politician With a peculiar.pose. He wants to be. thought tinnsual and he succeeds in keeping himself before the public, but many years have passed since he was known to achieve r.ny- tliing but a temporary commotion in which he was the odd, ineffectual central figure.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDVictoria Week.
