to favor American steamship lines where
he could consistently, the department
would have no difficulty in forwarding
the Australian mails on n schedule as fast
ns that now in use. and moreover, the
service would he more frequent and
cheaper. At present the Australian mails
leave San francisco once month, and
letters written just after the departure of

could be sent at short intervals, and

CONVICT LABOR,

Referring to a recent official act of the
Secretary of the Treasury, the New York
World says
II 1t Ia true that the contractor for q federal
building at Peoria, Ill.,, was the lowest bidder
because he employs convict labor, the Treasury
Department ought to be able to find some way Of
refusing to give him the work. II 1t is not in the
legal power Of the department to reject the bid
because OF the convict labor, the next Congress
ought promptly to pass law meeting the case.
II is an outrage that in government buildings
honest labor should be left idle while conycts art
employed to do the work for the benefit of fa-
vored prison contractors
The facts in this case do not appear to
be understood in New York. 1t was in
the power of the Treasury Department to
reject the bid of the convict labor con-
tractor on the safe, tenable ground of
pnblic policy, which, in the absence of
mandatory law, should always be the
guide of public officials. The REPUBIIcAS
called the Secretary's attention to the mat
ter before the award was finally made. The
Secretary, knowing that he could law
fully and properly reject that bid, delib-
erately decided that lie would not do 30,
and as deliberately consummRted the
convict labor contract.
1t il too late to back out now, unless
the Attorney General can brush this con
tract aside as easily as he did the contracts
of John Roach.
The World is right in its conclusion
that this sort of thing is ian outrage"
It is all that, as tue administration will
find out when the voting time comes on.

General Garland have succeeded in fore
ing John Roach, the great shipbuilder,
into bankruptcy, thereby throwing sew
erh THOUSAND American workmen out of
employment. This is great victory for
the Democratic administration and
should be duly celebrated at home, as il
will be in foreign shipyards." The
Kingston FIREMAN. feels moved TO say
that "Roach's shipyard is thing of
the pnst. II is notable victory for the
Democratic adminstration-all the more
notable because it is the first instance in
which the government Of the United
States ever repudiated a contract with
one of its citizsnI" The Provi lsnc
Journal thinks sit is certain that the
news Of Mr.. Roach's failure will be re-
ceived with very g neral satisfaction by
the shipbuilders of Europe, whose formid-
able rival he has been in the construc-
tion of large Ameri an vessels" Tn Sc
are samples Of public opinion on this
matter. The whole country feels the
outrage on American honor.
