The report of the warden of the Western Penn

The report of the warden of the Western Penn
sylvania penitentiary furnishes some sugges-
tive statistics on the relation of idleness to
crime We all know what good DR.. Watts had
70 say on that point, and now a hard-headed,
practical jailor bears his testimony, too, that
"Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands
TO do" According to this report, out of 514
prisoners received last year, AT never learned
trade, business profession; 81 had a knack
at some special calling, and only 20 of the
whole number were qualified for any industrial
pursuit. All the rest grew up like weeds in the
street, without employment or aim I'm life.
From these figures the Importance of teach.
Ing boy some useful trade becomes very evil
dent. The lack of such training is seen to be
the chief cause of crime. And the fact is
brought out the more clearly by other statistics
In the same report, which show that this alb
sence Of training is a far more frequent cause OF
bringing man within the prison bars than ie.
norance or drinking. OF the 574 prisoners, all
but rs could read and write, and only 237 were
addicted to drink.

Gen. Grants condition has been somewhat
easier for some hours, but the relief is conceded
TO be only temporary, and the fatal termination
OF the disease may come at any moment. AS

The consumption of coal is good index of
the state of industry and Of general prosperity,
Is 1T furnishes measure by which to estimate
the activity of manufacturing and the ability
of the people to keep themselves supplied with
the comforts of life. Hence it is interesting to
learn that tine coal product of the United States
during 1854 was greater by three million tons
than during the previous year, and thirteen
million tons greater than in So. 1t amounted
In all to 99,651 ,S07 tons, and was the largest
output In the history of the country. These
figures show with what resistless march the
United States advances even when trade is
depressed and business men are grumblinp.

The Osceola times., 1885-05-30

How this state of affairs has been
brought about is easy TO see. There
is no doubt that funds have been
largely used to promote the election
of the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. For the purpose of
currying favor and gaining votes,
the salaries of employees in various
States have been largely increased.
Thus, in one instance, a man IN the
statistical department out in Kan
sas had his salary raised from $500
to $4,000, while his chief in the
bureau at Washington only gets
81 800. This wholesale distribution
of the funds of the department for
political purposes soon ran away
with the appropriation, and to this
as to any other cause the bankrupt
condition Of the Agricultural Bureau
is TO be attributed. The original
intent of Congress in appropriating
money for the distribution of seeds,
was to buy rare grains beyond the
ordinary agriculturists and so dis
tribute them as to improve the
character of our crops. Instead of
this, however, the recent Commits
sioner bought for free distribution
ordinary seeds to be found in every
seed store in the country. The
true character of these common
seeds was hidden under high sound
ing names, and they were sent by
Congressman broadcast throughout
their districts for the purpose Of
making votes. For the last five
years the bureau has not introduced
a single new grain Of any value, nor
has it done one thing to aid the true
interests Of agriculture.
