There are several points Of interest pertain.
ing TO prison administration and recent i'm.
provements in this direction brought to gen.
eral knowledge by the recent prison congress
at Stockholm. A royal commission to examine
the condition OF convict prisons has been ap.
pointed in England; Belgium, Holland, Russia
and France have revised and improved their
systems; the latter country has established
national prisoners aid society; Germany has
a new criminal code; a cellular prison of large
size has been built In Spain: Japan encour.
ages industrial labor by allowing prisoners
one-tenth of their earnings; and Italy has
established three agricultural colonies on
Islands in the Tuscan Archipelago to which
prisoners sentenced to long terms of punish
ment are sent as reward for good behavior
IN the first half of their terms. The last two
items are especially interesting and sugges-
tive.

Candidates for office groan under monar
chical despotism in Canada. The law pro-
hibits the furnishing of vehicles to bring
voters to the polls. They are fined two hun
dred dollars If 1t is proved that they promise
offices TO constituents, whether they mean to
keep the promise or not. Aud a similar fine is
imposed for the crime of treating" doubtful
voters. In the free air of the United States
things are managed differently

Judge Keley's Philadelphia constituents
after much conflict of sentiment have re-
nominated him for Congress. His views on
the subject of CT rency tested their patience
severely, but as the money question will prob
ably be beyond the reach Of the next Congress
they have determined to forgive the prodigal,
even though he be unrepentant, in cOnsidera
ton of having the interests of the fourth dis
trict defended by an able aud experienced
representative.

The overworking Of the English coal mines

the danger is Of course a constantly increas-

800 persons, who were scattered through in.

In giving elsewhere the reasons which moved
them TO that course, we venture the remark
that the District Commissioners will find it an
uphill business to convince this community
that increasing the official salary of Attorney
Riddle from 5000 to 5000 per year is a wise
and just thing to do during hard times like
the present, when retrenchment and economy
only are in order. 5000 was pretty liberal
pay In flush times, when its recipient gave his
whole time to earning it; but now, when a
dollar is worth as much as two used to be, and
the incumbent has besides ample leisure In
which to attend to other business that sum is
decidedly extravaganza. One OF the brethren
had better move reconsideration

Learning that yellow fever epidemic pre-
walls in the United States King Humbert of
Italy, solemnly issues decree establishing
quarantine against vessels coming from anu
OF our ports. If the same amusing ignorance
of the extent Of American territory prevailed
among the other governments OF Europe, and
they should adopt the sweeping and indiscrimi.
nate measures thought proper by Italy. our
next statistical comparison of imports and ex.
ports would not be so encouraging as the last.
HE fact should be gently but firmly impressed
upon King Humbert that the United States Is
more than thirty times as large as Italy, and
that an epidemic may rage In one corner with
out affecting in any way whatever the vast
majority Of our ports. All the northern ports.
and we may say the Atlantic ports generally,
are cleaner and healthier than those Of Italy.
II the United States wishes to make appropri
ate retaliation against Italy it should establish
quarantine against all vessels from that
country on account Of the cholera in Sweden

The net profits Of the Western Union Tele
graph Company for the quarter ending on the
last day of this month, are estimated by its
officers at over sl,0O0,000. This Is equivalent
to quarterly dividend of about Is per cent
OF the original actually invested capital stock,
which, it will be remembered, has been in.
creased by watering" &C., up to about eight
times its proper amount. It Is to pay dividends
on this watered stock that the people of the
United States have to pay at least ten times as
much as they ought to for telegraphing.
