The PRISON AND LABOR SYsTEM.-We are told
that the majority Of the inmates Of the States Prison
consigned 10 that abode under the provisions of
thes,ode STYLED the Masters aud Servants Law for
refusal to fulfill labor contracts In other words,
they prefer the States Prison to the sweets Of the
cooe system.
Thus, just far as the coolie system differs from
slavery and farther, does our States Prison diff
Ter from slave pen. .'-hnokod Jan. %. - .t..r +.
There Is just one confined under the Masters
and Servants Law out of Ninety now confined in the
Estates Prison." and that man is a native, confined
on the complaint OF eountryman. -,--- .---
These being the facts of the case. the conviction
is forced upon that one ever told the editor
of the Kuokoa any such Thug If any did tell
him such a story, no one believes him to be Ounce
enough TO credit IT,
The States Prison differs from "slave pen" fully
as much as the writer of the KaokOa does from being
a of truth--and that is a great deal.
