The warden Of the Connecticut
State Prison has got himself in a tight
place. He has contracted 10 supp ly
certain number Of convicts 10 work
at the different mechanical branches.
and there is a prospect Of a large de-
iiciency Of hands. Since the enforce
msnt Of the liquor Law he says. 1--WE
have good many going out from
time TO time. and almost nothing COM
ing in" What a melancholy state Of
things! The prosperity of the State
prison blasted by Maine law fanatics,
and the warden prevented from full
filing his contracts!
The rummies would probably ad-
wise Gov. Dutton to call an extra ses-
sion Of the legislature and recommend
the indefinite suspension Of the liquor
law, that the warden may keep his
engagements. and that the State pris-
on may not become worthless. Is it
not shame that the Asylums and
Prisons, which have cost the people
SO much, should be thrown away to
CRAFTY the whims Of temperance men
and women? q
The condition Of the Vermont State
Prison seems to be no more hopeful
than that Of Connecticut. Col. Har-
low, the Warden, writes as follows:
'The pecuniary prospects Of our
prison look rather gloomy for want of
more oonvicts; four years ago, now,
wehsd 90 convicts: now only sirfyJfpe.
A large portion Of our expenses are
the same, with this small number, as
when we had the larger number, and
the receipts must be about 2.500S
less for this year than then" He
adds:
II have looked about for the cause:
lst--Thought justice was not meted
out AS it should be by the courts
But / am driven to the conclusion, af-
ter all. that oar stringent Liquor Lase
is the real cause; which, ! am sure, is
an Injury TO the prison in this respect,
and win be the means Of its calling on
the State Treasury for a portion OF its
support; when, if no liquor law was
in force, it would be able to pay a
small sum into the Treasury annually.
After all, I think the law is doing
more good than harm, and hope it win
