Convict Labor.
We copy the following FROM an article
in the E;ckShuru phS,.

We copy the following FROM al article
in the Eickshurg Post:
Mr.. Fisher has read the REPORTED!
! investigation Of the Monroe npWSra-
pefs of the affair, and is not at all sur
priSed at the result or their dcScrip' tnn
of the camps. He does not inpu .n
the motives of the press one iota bus
knows As well as they the aiacri'y with
which things brighten around these
convict camps when a newspaper man
is about. The questions he would pro-
pound to the editors of the Huiietin
and TELEGRAPH are rs follows: Were
you invited to inspect the camp? Was
the day set when you Shou!d come :"
AT what time dia you reach Grew
Lake. and when tiiH you leave the
camps?
Ia response to this, we endorse the
annexed answers from oar neigh Dor,
the Bullctin
In answer to Mr.. Fishers iulcrroga-
tories we will STAY
First-That the editors of The TELi:-
GRAPH ana Bulletin were not invited
to inspect the camp. They went on
tuNlf own nlctlDn.
Seconh--The day of our going was
not set. The lcsscrs know nothing
about it.
Third--Wc went out on the morn
ing's train and retained the evening
Of the same day. We were lit the
camp long enough for the purpose Of
our trip.
From the investigation made we
did not think the reported hrutaiitics
true and SO stated.
The purposes Of the visit made by
the editors Of the Bulletin and TELE-
GRAPH could not have been known,
since they themselves went at a mo-
mcnts warning and without the know
ledge Of any one whatever. They were
received as strangers, their business
nor intent being known. The writer OF
this went through the Crew Lake camp
and unObSorvcd--WaS in
the hospital, in the Kitchen and among
the cOnvicts on the railroad alone and
without escort. He herd a convict
whistling Yankee Doodle; another
obStlESu, 'theIe soc9 Il pruning ONCE
and il third asked for n nickel, which
he received the only one we had.
The Kitchen was clean and neat, and
the bread equal to The best bakers
bread. For AZ men there were only s
guards, and these guards really seemed
to be the most melancholy men in the
camp. We are satisfied from personal
investigation that the Grew Lake
have been greatly cX-
aggerated. On renitentiary treatment
generally we beg to refer the reader to
an article in this issue copied from the
Point Coupce Banner, and to give it
our cordial endorsement.

a large crowd witnessed the game.
When Monroe would make a run, or
play, the widest enthusiasm came
rolling from the ihroais Of the crowd.
As tho game closed. so did the enthus-
iasm. Closed lips prevented the wild
hurrahs proclaiming victory and JOY.
The spectators became silent as the
game progressed. BY ones, twos, and
thrces, they dropped away before the
dosing scene. When all was over, the
remaining spectators walked off as if
some terrible calamity had befallen
them.

A swindIing Concern Brought to Grief.

NEWCASTLE, Pa, December s.-The
wampum Cooperative Company at VAN.
pun, twelve miles from this city, is under
charges of fraudulent practices, and Its
property has been seized by the Sheriff.
The Company was organized about year
ago. 1t is alleged that the land on which
its buildings are located is used by IL
only on verbal consent of the owner, and
that by putting upa cheap building on this
Land the citizens were induced to SUBJ
scribe to the enterprise to the
extent of several thousand dollars.
IL is also alleged that tho
company's employees were induced TO ac-
cept scrip of the company to the amount
of about SO, 900 in lieu of money for their
wages, which scrip is totally valueless.
Several bills for goods furnished the COM
pany, are unpaid and the total liabilities
are estimated at $4,000. The assets not
over $500. The originaters of the
scheme were parties from Johnston and
Beaver Falls, Pa. There is much indig-
nation in the community against them.

CIVIL SERVICE REYoRN-No RELAXATION OF

The report of the Civil Service Comms-
sion. which will be submitted, contains an
account of the manner In which the civil
service law has been executed during the
past year. and much valuable Information
on this impor tant subject.
am inclined to think that there is no SEN
timent more gene raj in the minds OF the
people OF our country than con viction
Of the correctness of the principle upon
which the Law enforcing civil service re-
form is based. In its present condition
the law regulates only part OF the suoor-
dinate public position throughous the coun'
try 1t applies the test OF fitness to appli-
cants for these places by means OF q compel
tive examination and gives large dis
cretion to the Commissioners as 20 the char'
acter OF the examination ana many other
matters connected with its execution. Thus
the rules and regulations adopteI oy the
Commission have much to do with the prac-
teal usefulness OF the statute and with the
results of its application
THE PEOPLE
NAV well trust the commission to execute
the law with perfect fairness and with AZ
little Irritation as possible, but OF course DC
relaxation of the principle which underliei
It and no weakening OF the safeyuards wnicr
surround it can be expected. Experience u
its administration vii probably sugges
amendment of the methods OF its execution
