his opponent was a skilled politician who had

tributed largely TO his election. His opponent
was not popular, and Taylor, whom he char

won some Republican support. His cause was
taken up with so much warmth that he was
not under the necessity Of drawing upon his
slender pile. He talked aud fiddled his way
through the district, the violin figuring as an
incident Of the strife because of the oppo-

The annual report of the Directors OF the
Maryland Penitentiary, says the Baltimore
Gazette, is document worthy of study. The
institutions is selfsupporting. After paying
all debts and expenses there is a surplus this
year of SIG, 356 SO. new wing, or dormi-
tory, has been constructed to the prison dur
ing the year with accommodations for 206
inmates, at cost OF only about Sl00 per cell.
The labor on this building was mostly per-
formed by prison inmates and the economy of
construction compares curionsly with that OF
the House of Correction, which cost 81 900
for every inmate which it is able to maintain.
curious feature Of the report is that which
relates 10 the feeding and clothing Of the
prisoners. II is asserted that it only costs
IS per year to clothe each prisoner and only
S32 per capita to feed them. That human
beings can be maintained in this country at a
cost only sixty cents a week, or nine day,
seems almost incomprehensible. We seem to
be reaching Chinese basis with great ra-
pidity. OF course the workingmen in the
prison must have nutritious and generous
food The bringing of the cost of living to
such low average only shows what can be
done by Borough system and pefec'
economy.
