THE STATE PRISON.

The work of the investigating committee
at the State Prison, yesterday, was little less
than broad farce. The idea that prisoners
would testify against the men in whose power
theysare, was absurd. Every one knows that
prison is an absolute despotism, and the
prisoner is utterly helpless. The situation
was we'll demonstrated yesterday by the fact
that the men who are in for life testified in
behalf of the prison, while the only man who
seriously reflected on the management was
one whose term expires in week. There
could be no stronger evidence than this of the
impossibility of securing testimony from the
prisoners. The guards, of course, are cor
respondingly enthusiastic in behalf of the
prison. It is their bread and butter. A
guard who would not testify favorable to the
prison would be kicked into the street in
twenty-four hours. We suppose it was the
duty of the committee to visit Saltwater,
but they are certainly too intelligent to imag-
inc that they could secure any reliable evi-
dence by SO doing.
The most impudent thing connected with
this entire State prison business was the for
NAL presentation Wednesday night of canes
to the warden and his deputy. The present.
alton and the fulsome iaudation bestowed
were simply disgraceful. It was a practical
confession that the charges made are true
and recognition that something is neces-
sary to break the force of public opinion. It
was as indecent an act as was ever witnessed,
and ought to satisfy the committee that
there is something decidedly rotten in the
prison. If the warden and his deputy and
the contractors wished to have buncombe
presentation, they should have had the wit
If not the decency, to have delayed the per-
formance.

THE TkaMPS,

TO enforce the remarks of the GLOBE a
few days ago on the tramp question, the New
York World calls attention to what is being
done by the legislatures of States adjoining
that, and makes home application as fol-
lows
OF course this resolute policy on the part of
our neighbors necessitates an equally resolute
policy in New York, if we wish to protect our
selves from general swarming hitherwards of
these interesting drones of the national hive.
The outlines of the Massachusetts, plan recall
the sternness of the provisions adopted by the
Old Bay State, just after the establishment of
our independence, with view to keeping out
Americans of African descent. Modern tramps
are now to be dealt with by Massachusetts in a
like spirit though with less brutality, and
whatever notifications of her system may be.
thought desirable, this social disease has un-
questionably reached or is fast reaching 8
point everywhere at which it must be handled
intelligently and with concert of action by all
the States.
With stringent anti-tramp laws in Iowa,
Wisconsin and Illinois, what would be the
fate of Minnesota without one? Our State
would be tho asylum for the thousands of
vagrants who live by their wits and make
plunder their occupation. 1t is imperatively
necessary that the legislature should do
something to protect our citizens from in
cursions that will bring only loss to them.
The State cannot afford, for her own reputa-
tlon, to remain unprotected in this regard,
for the prospect is that the tramps will be
driven out of all the States that surround us
only to swarm and everrun our own. We
could not endure such an invasion without
serious injury, and ought not to be subject
ed to the possibility Of such an invasion.
We trust some action will be had before it is
too late
Daily globe., 1879-02-14

its merits, but from a cursory glance at its
provisions we judge that it has many excel
lent features, and that it is sufficiently strin-
gent in its provisions to fully protect the
creditors, but perhaps too stringent for the
good of the debtors. Its merits and demerits
will be more apparent, however, after it shall
have been printed to-day for the informa.
tion of the members and all concerned. It
must be remembered that no enactment can
be made to be absolutely perfect without the
aid of large experience. The defects of the
national bankrupt law, lately repealed, are
we'll known, and our legislators can profit
by the knowledge it has furnished them.
That was susceptible of being nsed for the
benefit of rogaes to defraud honest creditors.
We want no such law as that, yet we want no
law that will work injustice to the poorest
debtor in the State.
It is to be regretted that this measure has
not been brought sooner to the attention of
the legislature. But three weeks remain till
the close of the session, and from this time
forth business will be necessarily hurried, and
it is to be feared that there is not sufficient
time to devote to its examination. But the
legislature should not adjourn until some
such measure is matured and passed. It's
lack has already brought great hardship upon
some of our merchants. They have in
number of instances been forced to sacrifice
large stocks of goods to the rapacity of sin
gle creditor-and sometimes the least of
large number-who feared some other person
would get ahead of him and sue out an at
tachment. We are convinced that not one
tithe of the injury has been done that will
follow unless something shall be done for the
protection of those who are now literally at
the mercy of their creditors.

THE INSOLVENCY act.

An important bill was introduced i'm tho
lower house of the Legislature yesterday-an
insolvency act. It is entitled "a bill for an
act to provide for voluntary bankruptcy of
insolvent debtors, and for compulsory pro-
oeedings against such debtors, and for an
equitable distribution of the property of
such debtors among their creditors, and for
discharge OF such debtors from their debts.
and to prevent frauds upon and preferences

ment, covering over sixty large pages of
legal cap, and embracing ffty-seyen Sec
tions. It was drawn, it IS understood, by
prominent attorney OF. this city, who has had
much experience in bankruptcy, and after a
long consultation with many of our leading
business men. It is understood that it meets
their views, and will be strongly urged for
passage.
This is matter in which every business
and professional man is deeply concerned,
and should be carefully considered before it
is finally acted upon. We have not yet had

A Presentation.

For some time past the employees and mechanics
at the prison have been intending to present Warden
Reed and Deputy Hall with canes as a testimonial of
their regard. At about O'Clock Wednesday quite
number OF gentlemen gathered at the prison to be

THE MARKET QUESTION.
A Central and Itvo Small Market Houses
Called For.

Called For.
To the Editor of the Globe.
A good deal is being said about new market
house, and very justly SO, but in considering
this subject some slight regard should be paid
to the wishes of the people. A stately market
house would be an ornament to our city, and
note OF attraction to strangers, but would the
erection of such building, at cost of $40, 600
or $4,000, or perhaps 100000, be as much ben
eft to the people at large, as the erection of
less costly building on the old site, on Waba-
shaw street, and then, say, two small market
houses, one in upper and the other in lower
town. If the new and large market house is
erected, then citizens from away up on Summit
avenue, and away out on Fort street, and away
off on Day toms Bluff. and out by the Harvester
works, must trudge through the heat in sum-
mer, and the snow in winter, to the great Cen
tral Depot" Of meat, no matter how incon-
vcnient it may be, or how burdensome NV
idea is, put less money on the building to be
erected on the old ground, and satisfy the
great mass by two other inexpensive market
houses to accommodate the two extremes of
the town. By this means all can be accommo-
Dated Invest $4,000 or $4,000 in the small
market buildings 1926, 600 or 100000 in the
main building-and then build on as the emer-
gency may require. This, I am free to say, is
q prevailing opinion in this city. A. s. E.

the joint select committee on excise laws and
liquor traffic, presented a vigorous and lengthy
minority report on tho bill providing for con-
stltutionsl amendment forever prohibiting
traffic in Intoxicating liquors i'll this State The
report took exceptions to all sumptuary liuuor
laws as being blow at constitutional liberty
and unconstitutional in themselves, and argued
that the use of liquor was not in itself wrong,
its abuse being alone hurtful, its moderate use
being highly beneficial, as proved by competent
medical authorities throughout the world.
Bills were passed amending the charter of
the Beloit railway; to allow descendants of the
Lake Superior Indians the ight to vote.
Nothing of Importance was done in the As

Bills were passed in the Assembly, TONIGHT
to compel children to attend school at least
twelve weeks in the year; relating to county
courts.
Great excitement lasted through the whole
evening in fierce parliamentary war between
the advocates and opponents Of the measure to
provide for equal taxation by the exemption of
no property except graveyards. After an hours
sharp use of tactics, the proposition was killed.

ONE loss sustained by Liverpool working
men and manufacturers on account of the
strike in progress there is noted in yester-
days cable dispatches. The vessels about
to be forwarded with supplies and troops to
South Africa will be fitted out at some other
port than Liverpool, where the government
would have naturally gone but for the strike.
Thus the city has lost, probably, several
millions of trade, and the workmen profit
able employment for several weeks. It
doesn't always pay to strike-to bite ones
nose off to spite ones face.
