Tohacco a.d Gsspel.

A Leavenworth, Ksnses, Pspes says
one of the evidences Of the mighty m arch
of Western civilization is exhibited in
the action of the Legislature. at its late
session. in sppropriatius 81 400 for to-
bscco for the peniteniisry prisoners. and
$500 for preaching them the Gospel.
This is but a fair sample of Kansss
sppropriatious-snd yet the Legislature
claimed .bs. all the appropriations seem
ed to be actually necessary, and thsy could
not ses where any reductions could have
been made. consistently with the public
interest. Here is 81. 400 taken from the
State Tressury to mini.ter to q filthy
vice OF criminals. Are the industrial
Interests to be heavily taxed, to feed the
vices Of those who have forfeited even
their personal liberty? 1t was contend
ed. 10 the debates on the item. that the
prisoners could hardly dispense with to-
bscco. and that it MAS found that they
were more docile. sud did = great desl
deal more work. when supplied With to-
bacco. No doubt many Of them crave
whiskey, and woald work like beavers If
they knew there w.s dram in prospect.
Then. why not appropriate money to
buy whiskey for the convicts! Some
were imprisoned for robbery. and some
for murder. Perhaps they founi enjoy
ment 10 those occupations. and sigh for
exercise Of that character. II the State
is going into the business Of rsndering
to the vices OF penitentiary convicts. why
not give them q holiday about once q
month. by turning 10 a few way farers fo'
! them to rob and murder?
As to the $500 for Chaplain. we guess
the sum is ample for the good the preach.
ing does. There are some minister,
whose preaching is not worth a good
chew of tobacco, TO those who like the
wesd. This i, our estimate of the per.
son at present employed TO dish out goa
pei to the convicts. His ability is suffi.
ciently great: but we think lie mi,tooh
his calling. If he ever failed to improv.

OF the 81 400 ,obscco money. probably
5000 of it will be paid ont for tobacco
and the bslsnce will be taken care of bJ
