Is quite probable, Judging from the tone
OF the New York press, that this sugges-
ton will be adopted. The convicts VIII
be made to earn the cost OF supporting
them; they will be worked ectly under
the control Of the state, instead OF by heart
less contractors, and thus the claims oil
humanity will be kept In sight as TO tnelf
treatment; and finally, honest labor and
capital will not complain. 1t Will be
fortunate, II, in the near future, we shall
be able to approximate something OF the
same policy or system in Texas. Our
convict establishment, already very large,
is steadily increasing, and properly
handled II could be made a potent
factor in promoting the general vel
fare and development Of the state The
suggestion has been made that each
county might retain all its own convlcts
and work them on the public roads, thus
relieving citizens Of that rather unpopular
duty. In the more populous counties
this plan might work well, but it is to be
doubted II its general application would
prove satisfactory In large proportion
OF the counties the force would be toe
small to accomplish much practical good
or warrant the expense OF maintaining @
convict establishment in each county
The state, however, having several
thousand conyicts on hand, will hardly
fail to find some useful public work a.
which to employ them, as Is now being
done In the employment OF large forct
in the Burnet quarries getting out granite
for the new capitol. 1t remains for legis
lative wisdom to devise some plan OF utili
cation, and it can hardly be doubted that
If the subject receives the consideration
1t merits, something will be done in the
direction indicated. The state should mo-
look upon its convlcts as source Of rev
enue, but be content TO keep them up to {
self-supporting standard and make then
as useful, in public way, as may be pos
sible.

$50 WHERE glory waits thee" seems
to have no allusion to going to the
frontier, and lighting Indians. The
solons Of the United States senate have
decided that this peculiar service is not
war, and hence any officer distinguishing
himself by gallantry, is not entitled to
any "commlssion of brevet for distin-
guished conduct and public service in the
presence OF the enemy" This is a
narrow and llliberal technically, OF
which people should be ashamed, when
they think on the service which has been
rendered the country by the capture OF
Geronimo and his cruel followers, who
have spread terror In their path, marking
II by deeds OF most horrible atrocity
Gen. Towards dispatch, including all
'.as prisoners of war;" would imply thai
he regarded 1t as q warfare, and thai
there should be no advancement In rsnl
or no increase in pay for such valuable
service and the trials attendant upon SC
arduous campaign, is course peculiar
to this nation. This apathy OF govern
ment, so lavish In bestowing iavors upol
arctic explorers, civil war heroes ant
other OF like ilk,, Is calculated to prolonI
frontier strife, by rendering men indlffer
emit, and loudly calls for some change o
views In the senate.

THERE are all sorts OF conventions and
associations these days. Comparatively
few people are aware there is an Ameri-
can Society OF Professors Of Dancing,
which holds national gatherings, but
there is, and by the way, we note that
only two Of It's members are Texans. 1t
has Just completed its sixty-ninth annual
session, which shows that II is an ancient
and honorable body. The session was
held In New York, and the proceedings
show that three new dances, invented
during the Summer, are to be brought
out for the next season. We have for
gotten the names Of these dances, but
that isn't material. The young men will
be satisfied TO learn that they are some
thing on the waltz order and contemplate
great deal Of hugglng Of the girls with
whom the young men dance.

ONO has an institution which must
commend Itself to the true phllanthroplst
as well as the patriot; 1t is a reformatory
school for young criminals. Texas needs
this. Already our penitentiaries are
crowded with hardened criminals, and to
place youths there for first offenses is to
perpetuate this class and school them 80
that they shall become adopts in their
vicious career. The system in this Ohio
school Is a family one, and the manage
ment kind OF family government, while
strict surveillance and constant vigilance
is exercised. These boys are made to
feel as little Of prison life as possible,
and escapes are rare. There is a system
of rewards as we'll as schedule Of pun
ishments, though the latter seldom
reaches to corporal chastisement. When
boy Is admitted he Is deblted with de-
merits, as follows;
For murder, manslaughter, obstruct-
ing railroads, highway robbery, rape and
arson, 5000 dement's.
For assault and battery, with intent
ENLIGHTENMENT over $S5, burglary, grand
larceny, forgery and perjury, 5000 de-
merits.
For aiding prisoners to escape, embez-
element under 8S5 and petit larceny, ~
900 dement's.
The boy N earn ten merits per day by
good conduct, and bonus merits for
terms OF months OF continuous good con-
duct, and thus wipe out his score " and
go home on four months "leave OF alb
sence," II he maintains his good con,
duct outside, he can remain free by re.
newing his leave every four months until he
is twenty one years of age. II he proves
unfaithiul, he Is returned to the institution
Very few of them are ever returned. The
managing editor OF the greatest daily
newspaper In Ohio was an inmate OF this
institution, and received his education IN
| II. Many of its " ticket-of-leave " youths
have grown up In honor and usefulness
and some have occupied places in tn,
halls Of Ohio legislation,
The boys are taught regularly in thu
branches of an English education, IL

CONVICT LABOR ON PUBLIC
WDPLyC

With January l, 1887, the state of New
York win resume control OF It's 5000 con-
victs, now confined in the several peni-
tentiarles owned by the state. BY legis-
lative enactment convlcts In New York
are not to be hired to contractors any
more. The cutlery against the contract
system became so general and strong that
the legislature was compelled to take ac-
tlon. The question now is, what to do
with the 5000 conyicts. Manifestly they
cannot be maintained in idleness and
must be made as near seli-supporting as
possible The policy OF the state, under
the new system, will be TO so utilize the
convict labor that II shall not come In
competition with any OF the established
trades and industries which are furnish
ing employment to honest labor and oper.
ated by honest capital. Necessarily this
dobArs the state from employing Its prls.
oners at nearly all the industries that re-
quire manual or skilled labor. What APP
pears to be the most practical solution Of
the difficulty Is found In suggestion tina,
the convicts be put to work enlarglng and
deepening the Erie canal. For severa
years II has been apparent that this grea'
work must be undertaken, but on account
Of the expense connected with it, II FIRE,
labor Is TO be employed, legislature sftel
legislature has shlrked the Inauguration
of the work. 1t is urged that this Is al
enterprise In which all the people OF tn,
state are Interested, and convict Labor
can be employed on the work with rea
benefit and economy to the state and lit
Tie or no detriment to honest labor. l

THE suggestion of Prof. Roberts, LID,
for the United States senate as Gen.
Maxey's successor, will not sound strange
to the professor. He has heard 1t before
now, In fact he is kind Of ex-senator,
by courtesy, for years ago, just after the
close Of the civil war, before Texas had
been re-admitted to the Union, Texas
legislature elected Oran M. Roberts as
one OF the United States senators from
this state. OF course he didn't get In.
He waited, and has been waiting ever
since. Several times 1t has been init
mated by his admirers how much poetic
Justice there would be In electing him
again, and indicating the Legislative &C
ton Of two decades ago. The professor
himself doesn't have anything to say on
the subject. 1t is to be doubted II he
will, unless THE GAZETTE can get him on
It's tow-llne for an interview. II will be
remembered that THE GAZETTE inter-
views are the ones the old man has never
repudiated or gone back on. We can say
to the Waco Examiner and those who
are interested, that II Prof. Roberts yields
to the ambition to contest for Gen. Max
ey's seat he will, in all probability, let
the country know his intentions through
the medium Of a GAZETTE interview.

TEXAS AND KANSAS.

All Our State Needs Is More Railroads.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
OTTAWA, KANs., Sept. 10 Since left
Fort Worth to enjoy the cool breezes of
the North, have visited several places in
Kansas, Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky.
Most of these states have suffered more
or less from drought this summer except
Kentucky. 1t is remarkable that West
ern Kansas, that used to be regarded as
too dry to raise any vegetation, has had
seasonable rains this summer and better
crops have been raised than in the eastern
part of the state this year The irrigat-
ing bitches along the Arkansas river have
not been needed for three years. One
OF the owners of large ditch
told me that he feared they had
lost their investment, for the farmers
would not irrigate while it rained SO
much. Why may we not expect that the
western part of Texas, which is now suf-
fering with severe drouth, may, after q
week | attended the great agricultural
fair at Bismark Grove, Lawrence, Kan.
This is the best appointed and equipped
Playground have ever seen. 1t contains
about $50 acres, inclosed with high
Of native trees. All the buildings neces-
sary to accommodate every department
for such an exhibition are permanent and
commodious. In most respects the fair
was a grand success. The display of
grain, grasses, fruits and vegetables was
excellent There was great variety of
apples, grapes, pears and plums, but no
peaches. OF Irish potatoes there was
large and good display. Watermelons
from thirty to seventy pounds In weight.
The corn Is larger In Kansas than |
have seen in any other state this year.
One farmer reports over 100 bushels to
the acre this dry year. 1t seems to me
that there is as good land in Texas as in
Kansas. and with proper cultivation, will
produce as much to the acre. There was
a line display OF the best breeds Of cattle,
hogs, sheep and horses at The fair. 1t
seems TO me that such an exhibit at Fort
Worth would be worth great deal to
the city and state of Texas. 1t would
stimulate farmers and stockmen to i'm
prove their stock and all the products OF
the land.
western Kansas is now In the midst of
a great "boom." Several different rail-
roads are stretching their iron arms into
every part OF the state to gather into the
markets all the products of the soil.
BOND" voting in cities, townships and
counties is the popular method of secur-
ing the railroads, and it is evident that II
equallses the burdens better than indl-
yidnal subscriptions, 1t IS said that the
roads VIII add more to the taxable
property than the aid voted for them.
II Texas would be developed rapidly
there must be more railroads. There Is
no agricultural state IN our country that
mas better climate than Texas, and II
should invite the largest immigration.
me mass OF the people will go where the
pest Inducements are offered, At present
Kansas Is that state, and is receiving the
largest share. In some OF the young
clues OF Western and Southern Kansas,
property is higher and more In demand

future prospects and possibilities are
much less,
