of classification. The venial trans
gressor, unable 20 pay his fine of SIX
dollars for indulging to excess an appe.
tite for stimulants, works the amount
out at quarter dollar day, in the
same gang with the desperate burglar
committed for term of years and the
red-handed homicide doomed to life
long servitude. The moral effect ot
such association on the lesser culprit
particularly where extraordinary lati-
tude of social intercourse between the
prisoners is allowed, must be of an in.
calculably damaging nature.
1t is worth while for the authorities
and the public to consider whether the
prisoners could not be employed tc
more purpose for the desired influence
upon themselves, as well as with even
greater advantage to the public, by
giving them their hard labor, in the
main, within the prison enclosure. Or,
if they are taken out let it be only fol
Government work on the roads, SO
chemically in need of improvement,
and then under very much more rigid
discipline than now exercised. There
is enough prison labor farmed out and
frittered away to pave all the streets ol
Honolulu in few years, and if that
work was once begun the most of the
stone-breaking could be done out Of
the public sight, to which the daily
appearance of the chain gang is now a
positive nuisance. For the necessary
laying and tamping of the road mate
rial only long-term prisoners should be
detailed, and they subjected to the
very strictest discipline. The freedom
of intercourse now permitted between
not only prisoners themselves, but with
acquaintances passing by is a dis
graceful matter. In any case, how
ever, the mere pecuniary phase of the
question should not be allowed to be
the controlling consideration. Penal
laws were never designed to help out
impecunious governments, and the
profits of penal labor can only be
treated as an incidental factor in the
great problem of prison management,
which involves chiefly the protection OF
society, the prevention of crime, and
the reclamation, SO far as possible, OF
the criminal classes.

ABSURD.

Under the heading, "Ruinous Com
petition Sandwich Island Sugar Causes
the Closing ont of an American Re
finery," the following despatch fr>m
St. Louis, October 3rst, appears in
American papcrs:e-
The St. Louis Sugar Refinery, the
largest in the west, shut down last
night, and discharged about las of
their employees. The cause of the
closing is said to be the same as re-
Gently compelled the shutting down OF
several eastern re6neries, inability to
compete with Sandwich Island raw
sugar, which is admitted into the
country free Of duty. The refinery is
not closed permanently, but will start
up again should it prove that the new
crop of Louisiana raw sugar can be
purchased at prices which will yield a
profit for refining.
The absurdity of the reason given
here for the failure of that refinery may
be gathered from the fact that the es
tablishmcnt was largely running : on
Hawaiian Islands sugar, bought much
below the price at which raw sugar
could be obtained in New York.
