THE PENITENTIARY.

Gov. Phelps reports that the cost
of maintaining the penitentiary last
year was Sl44,231 so, or $51 ,951 81
more than the convicts earned, and
that although, this is a large amount,
it is considerably less than has been
paid for the same purposes during
any one of the past ten years.
The message also states that when
the present Warden took charge OF
the penitentiary there were many
prisoners who were not employed by
contractors, nor were they perform
ing any labor for the State. They
were in idleness because no one would
employ them, and at that time the
State had no work which they could
perform. Many conyicts were then
worked outside the prison walls.
Some were employed as servants in
the city ; some in grading and maca-
damizing streets; others at quarries,
lime kilns and brick yards others on
farms and some on a steamer that
navigated the Usage and Mississippi
rivers. The cost of maintaining the
penitentiary had become very great.
1t was proper and right to put the con-
victs at hard labor, and if it could
not be provided for them within the
walls it was right to put them at
labor without them. There was no
doubt that the law permitted this to
be done. The object was to make
the prisoners support themselves, and
was not this right? A contract was
made for the labor of convicts in coal
mines.
Such employment however, has
raised the question whether the labor
of convicts ought to be allowed to
displace that of honest workmen."
This is a troublesome question, and
wherever it has been discussed by
operatives, it has decided in the mega
tive.
Invariably these have demanded
not only the employment, but even
the instruction of convicts in trades
as taking bread out of honest mems
mouths and they have been sustained
in such views by employers whose
business is often ruined by such COM
petition,
As far as relates to employing con
victs as operatives of machinery, the
experiment has always been disas-
trous to the State, which has invari-
ably been called upon for the expen-

that he had nothing to say. Select
