Yes, we are proud Of our firemen. We
viewed them yesterday, II we didn't review
them, and, after seeing them, we under
stand how il Is that the work OF eNtin-
gushing fires is so quickly and so tho
roughly done. 1t is seldom that finer
looking body OF young men Is seen any
where; while the apparatus made most
creditable and handsome display. Only
one thing seemed lacking, and that was
salvage truck. What say our merchants
and insurance-men?

THE ANTI-CoNvICT CoNTRACTLA-
ROR ASSOCIATION.


We are in receipt of the proceedings of
the National Anti Convict Contract Labor
Association at the late meeting in Chicago
The question of employing eonvicts IN
building public roads meets with much
favor. We find these suggestions in the
report now before us:
We would have each county get its pro
portion Of labor for the amount which 1t
pays for the support of conyicts, to be en-
ployed in making permanent Improvements
on the county roads under proper super
vision.
It is notorious fact, that the majority
of such reads are in the worst condition
possible, especially in winter. 1t IS also a
fact, that there is as little work done on
them as the law will allow.
The peopleof the several counties would
act back r6at they pay toward the support
of eonvicts in the improvement OF their
roads, which would not be made IN any
other way.
Illustrating what the writer saysof bad
roads: A few winters since the roads
about Freeport were for reekS almost nm
Dassable, and trade in that city nearly sus-
pended, to the great disgust and loss OF
the merchants and all dealers who relied
upon the country for business.
There is no improvement which would
do more TO develop the country, than the
construction of good roads
That cOnvicts can be safely and econom-
ically employed in Matchmaking, Is DEM
onstrated by the experience OF other States
and communities. Convicts have long
been employed in the British Colonies IN
matchmaking. They are thus employed IN
some of the Southern States. Ii all the
able-bodied convicts of our State prisons
should he employed for the next twenty
wears in constructing macadamized and
gravel roads, on the principal suggested, OF
giving each county its pro rata OF labor &C
cording to the amount contributed Tor
convict support-the transition from
ouagmire to macadam would be so great as
to astOuish the people benefited, that
they had so long endured the nuisance OF
bad roads.
Temporary and safe quarters could be
in different parts of the conn
try. after the manner of railroad building,
mining and lumber camps, which could be
safely guarded to prevent the escape OF
prisoners.
These suggestions accord with what we
have already said on this subject and we
give them for the people to think over till
the Legislature meets.
