FeIton,s Iscform ATOM Bin.

Although Representative Felton's re-
f0rmatory bill has been defeated ii cannot
be said that the time occupied by the Leg
isature in discussing 1t was wasted, as
the people now have a much better idea of
the evils that are inseparably connected
with the States convict system than they
ever had before. Their eyes have been
opened to the danger to be apprehended
from a continuance of the system. It
may be reasonably expected, therefore,
that public sentiment against it Will
steadily become stronger until it is abol-
ished.
1t is not probable that all Of the repre-
sentatiyes who voted against the FELTON,
bill believe that the present method Of
dealing with the conyicts is very satisfac-
tory. They know, doubtless, that the
number Of criminals is increasing much
more rapidly than it ought to, and that
much OF this increase Is due TO the pres
ent convict system.
There is no effort under this
system at reformation The young
conyicts, many OF them guilty
only Of minor offences, leave the

are no Influences in the CON
vict camps that tend to lead
them towards more correct life. On the
contrary, all their surroundings there tend
10 brutalize them, and destroy what little
self-resDect they may have. Atthe end of
their terms OF imprisonment they
do not as rule attempt to
lead honest and industrious lives.
They learned things from the old conyicts
with whom they came in contact in the
convict camps that lead them to seek
companionship among the vicious and the
bad, and, generally, they are soon back
again in the chain gangs.
The most Of those who voted against the
FELTON, bill thought, doubtless, that it
would hardly be wise to pass it until
change was made in the entire convict
system. 1t will take time-more time, in
fact, than this Legislature can afford to
give ito devise q system, and deter
mine its details for caring for the cOnvicts
that will give general satisfaction. The
next Legislature will give it's attention,
doubtless, to this matter, and, in the
meantime, the people will discuss it and,
perhaps, will reach some sort OF under
tansding with regard 10 it.

One said that he would as soon that any body

Another one said that he would rather be

treatment, alludIng to the habit he had some
times OF getting up himself and applying co d

mouth when he needed relief. In this tablet
he said that If he kept on taking medicine and
