Pcnitcntiary Labor.

Among the questions asked Of tho
candidates is one as TO whether they arc
in favor Of the policy of allowing the
prisoners in the penitentiary to compete
with workingmen outside. This is o
question that worries the politician. He
does not want to offend the workingmen
of any particular trade, and he does
not want to BE- placed on record as advo-
eating the keeping OF prisoners in idle
ness. He feels that the convict labor
that makes boots aud shoes at twenty
cents day, conflicts with tho boot and
shoe makers outside, and yet ii the con-
victs stop making boots and shoes and
go to making chairs, there is the same
trouble with chair makers. So the poll
tician is in cold sweat. Now, tho next
politician that is interviewed ON tho sub
ject of prison labor, wants to say that
he is favor of prisoners working, but
not ct any trade that will interfere with
the honest, voting mechanic The pris-
oners must not make anything that
skilled labor outside can make, but
should be put to work at making fertil-
izers, in bone boiling establishments, glue
factories and fat rending establishments.
This will not compete with the honest
mechanic. Let the politician advocate
the turning of the penitentiary into q
fertilizer factory, or glue factory, or o
bone boiling establishment, and his po-
litical fortune is made. There is hardly
a prisoner but could be taught to boil
bones, or work over the refuse from
slaughter houses. 1t would not take a
year or two to learn them the trade, and
they would be worth something from
the first day they entered the prison.
The prisoners are not too good to do
such work, as the honest men outside
have to do it. Then the penitentiary
would havo some terrors for evil doors.
Let the penitentiary DO located forty
miles from any habitation, and engage
in the. manufacture of fertilizers, and
crime will decrease. Suppose man
would commit crime if he knew he
would be sent to fertilizer factory for
a year or two? Not much Waupun,
or the house Of correction, with their
warm meals and spring beds, have nc
terror for the bad men, bnt the kind of O
factory we speak Of would break them
all up. II the State will turn its peni.
tentiary into fertilizer factory, more
money will be made and there will mol
be half the crime committed. If We
were going to run for office we would
run on the fertilizer platform and BE-
triumpbantly elected, but we haven't

DO YOU REMEMBER ?

Dear, do you remember, lingering side by side,
Where in the midnight heavens the daylight
never died;
Where the waves recurrent music kept cadence
to our thoughts,
And the hour and the silence our love to rap
ture wrought?
Dear do you remember the fair and foolish
dream?
How life grew to eaoAaatment beneath its
goldoR966l mp
While the pulses thrilled together to the clasp
ing Of the hand,
And the moons path lay in silver on the sea
and on the sand;
And, like phantoms DER its radiance, fitted
the shadowy ships,
And love and life were meeting at the touching
of the lips.
All me how fast it faded, that slittering heav-
ing path,
The glory of the skies above, as of the earth
beneath
The dream was false and tickle, the hope an
idle thing,
The music died upon the notes and snapped
the golden string.
Perhaps it had been wiser if nor heart nor lip
had met
Dear, do you remember? It were better to
forget.

Inside the Earth.

A series of astronomical observations
will soon be begun at the Naval Observ-
atorv at Washington to determ ne with
the utmost nicely the latitude OF the in
stitution, or, to speak more exactly, the
latitude Of a certain telescope which will
be used III the process. A naval officer
has been detailed to perform the duty,
which may require two years for its COM
plet:on--one year for observation and
another to work up the results mathe-
mstically. Similar observations will be
lnade by the Portuguese astronomers at
Lisbcn, and ultimately at national OBJ
servatories in several other parts Of the
world. The purpose is to secure a stand
ard by which comparisons may be
made ten, twenty, fifty years hence to
determine if in the meantime geological
