ramon IN PRISONS.

The state prison labor commission In
New York Is wrestling with tho vexed
question Of work for convlcts, the old
contract system having been abolished.
one thing the commission is a unit on, that
the convicts shall work, aud work at
something that shall, as far as possible,
be selfsustalning, The question to be
solved is how to accomplish this and still
not bring such labor into competition
with free labor. At Auburn the chairman
found the convicts building roads and,
in order to occupy the time, wheeling
dirt some distance further than II
was necessary. But let them wheel
Better this than ldleness or compe-
titlon with free mechanical labor. 1t ID
believed that the authorizes will before
long set tho men at work on the piece

appointed by Gov. Hill, in accordance
with an act which authorizes them to In
quire into existing systems for employing
convlcts, suggest such experiments a
should be made, learn what they can o
the feasibility OF grading the convlcts
and OF the existing abuses in the prisons
They have only just fairly begun thei
work aud report will not be made unit

guide in our own state. The question

Fort Worth Sends Provisions to "a Dis
triot where want Has Never Been
Known.
Special to the Gazette,
MIDLAND, TEX, Aug. 2s.-All Mid
land was inexpressi0ly chagrined this
morning to lind that quantity Of provis-
ions had been received for sufferers from
the drought. Who sent them and who
sent for them was frequently asked. The
goods came from Fort Worth and were
sent to j, G. Peoples. Frequent inquir-
les were made for Mr. Peoples. Your
correspondent sought him and asked an
explanation. He said they came from the
Presbyterian chdrch Of Fort Worth, as he
had previously received aid from the
church in other places in consequence OF
a frightful railroad accident he sustained
few years ago.
He has good herd of cattle, an excel
lent section of land, and has been re-
garded by our citizens as beyond want
Had 1t been lisped that he was in need oil
provisions, he would have been promptly
helped.
There is positively no case of destitu
ton in this country, nor on the StakeC
Plain, nor is there prospect of any. Cat
| tie and sheep have fattened during the
summer. The only fear has been that il
would not rain in time for winter feed
but that fear is dispelled by the rains o.
last week. Stockmen are jubilant anC
every man, woman and child is contenteC
and happy
We appreciate the noble Efforts of th,
Fort Worth people in relieving sufferer
from the drought, but in sending suppnel
TO Midland they have been egreglousl,
Imposed upon. Grass is growing finel
and several ranchmen are preparing 4
cut grass next month.

Crantilps TA.Ta TO the Democracy, BE-
cause Dives can't Find Ice IN sheol.


In view OF this fact and In view Of the
recognized right of the people to decide
at the ballot.box any vital ISSUE 1t was
not deemed an unreasonable request to
ask the Texas Colossus to heed the wishes
of an outraged and long-suffering people.
But It was the old story over again. The
Democratic giant, fat with the SURFACES
Of an honest constituency and tumened
with it's $4,000 voting majority, again
treated with contempt the wishes OF the
people. On top Of this convention, aided
and allotted by over 1000 Texas saloons,
named as It's standard-bearer the only
ayowed liquor champion in the
field. In view Of these facts
what are Prohibitionists to do2 Must we
| sit with hands folded and swallow insult
after insult from the Texas Democratic
| Colossus? No. For our part we are no
| longer member Of the machine. We
are in favor Of organizing Prohibition
party, pure and simple, and OF putting a
state ticket in the field this year. Life Is
too short to frltter away IN vain attempt
to reform the Democratic machine. We
have depended on our relatives, onr
neighbors and our friends long enough /;
let us now g. about harvesting our grain
alone.
These are our convictions. In honestly
expressing them we are aware that we
forfeit all hope for public office or emolu.
ment. We deliberately, before God, lay
upon the altar of right all the political
hopes and aspirations OF a lifetime. We
will lose money, prestige, friends. We
will be pitied, cursed, abused. But cone
; what may, let IL be sunshine or shadow
praises or censure, we are for the homes
OF Texas and the purity of American In
situations, against the world.
The Prohibition party is the only hops
for the perpetuity of the republic. Afte.
J time victory will perch upon its stain
less banner Then we will be rewarded
for the sacrifices we have made for Coz
= and home and native land. And this \
= the only way to
y PULyRRIZE THE RUM POWER.
y May the Lord deliver us from sue
: Democracy, and In the mysteries o
Il Providence may the children who are be
g ing born now be born with backbones
!, In the present emergency we need men
u men who love right better than party
men with nerve enough to speak on
for the right il they speak out alone
men who love God better than they lov
l. the Democratic political machines me
u who will live and die by their conviction
y of duty.
I Working for Prohibition in the Demo
y cratic party is sorter like Dives workin
), for ice water in hell, and the sooner a
Prohibitionists agree on the Prohibitio
party local, state and national, the bette
1t will be for the cause.
