his confirmation! Honesty is al

CONVICT LABOR.
cleveland Plain Dealer

One by one the states in the I'm
ion are taking up the question 0.
convict labor, and on all.sides the
subject is being discussed as ear
nestly, and nearly as intelligently
as we could wish. In some of the
southern states the disclosures
brought out by Investigations into
the treatment of convicts are most
appalling. In many of the southern
states the men in the state prisons
are EARNED out" to contractors.
mine operators and large farmers,
and they seem, in many places, to
have been treated most inhumanly
far worse in truth than the negro
of slavery days was treated by the
most brutal overseer. The latest in
vestigation was in Kentucky, and
there it was found that the convicts
EARNED out" in coal mines have
not only been used to break down
the wages of free artisans, but have
been abused and starved by the con-
tractors. So. have the men employ
ed in building railroads and high
ways in the state. Kentucky makes
speedy apology for the wrong by
wiping out with one quick legisla-
tive stroke the law hat allowed the
evil to exist. Now she founders for
a system under which to employ
her convicts.
Experience so far has been in IA
vor of the system that scatters the
injurious pressure on the free arti-
san, employs the convict profitably
and thoroughly controls him on ev-
cry side while a prisoner. This is
the state accounts system without
the lodging or trickery with con-
tractors-which renders the New
York plan a failure in its pretend
ed feature of relieving free,labor-
but with the industries so diversi-
fed that but a few men are employ
ed in each, and the result of their
labor will not flood any market.
Ohio has not anything like a per-
feet system of prison labor. But
Ohio has done more to get one than
any other state and her recent steps
in favor of. an intermediate peniten-
are all in the right direction.
The most perfect prison in the
country is at Elmira, N. Y. tits the
state reformatory, and its inmates
ire first offenders and have indeter-
inmate sentences. But the work it
loes fills a market and bars out free
.abor made goods. No wonder it is
Unpopular.
The scientific prison of the fu-
:ure will be one that satisfies the
aborer outside its walls by saving
Tim money instead of taking mon
" from him. And is not far off.
But all farming orcontract systems
nuct be cleared out of it's path.

Governor Foraker is receiving
great praise from men of all parties

t. V. Powderly, chief of the

such a spirit of respect for the laws

it would build itself up and soon
accomplish its desired object-pro-
lection to Labor. We are opposed to
strikes, because they are productive
only of evil, and generally evil to
the strikers! Monopolies should be
compelled to respect the rights. of
men-men should regard the rights
of monopolies, and neither should
seek by injustice or oppression to
deprive the other of what Justly be-
longs to it. Prescription for opin-
ions sake is tyrannical and despot-
ic. Every man should seek to pro-
mote the interests of his employer,
and persons or corporations en-
ploying labor should makei it an>ob-
ject to render employees happy and
%contented as far as possible, and
thus all conflicts would be avoided
capital and labor as they should,
would work tremendously together
to secure the general prosperity and
benefit each other.

No more gigantic monopoly ever
reared its head in this country than
the Standard Oil company. Of the
L 100000 barrels of oil exported
from the United States in 1885. the
Standard company exported fully
lO,000,o00barrels. Notcontent with
having thoroughly subdued the do
nestle and foreign markets of this
country, this monopoly, like Alex
ander, signs for fresh worlds to con-
quer. The great Russia firm of the
Nobel company, controlled by the
Nobel brothers, is said to be in close
financial quarters, with large num-
bers of outstanding bonds, on which
the interest has not been paid. The
scheme of the Standard is said to
be to guarantee this interest, and
in return to be given control of the
business in Russia-to absorb the
Nobels, in fact to shut up Russian
stills as. it has those along the
Cleveland and Pittsburg railroad
in Cleveland.

In the Senate secret executive
session of last Thursday afternoon,
Senator Sherman made a violent
attack upon the President and
charged that the section of the Re-
vised Statutes which required the
President to give preference to sol
diers of the late war had been vio-
lated. Mr.. Edmunds to the sur
prise of his Republican friends, de-
clarcd that the soldier business was
about played out, and that no one
but demagogues attempted any
longer to make political capital by
appealing to the soldier element.
He said that the war had been over
for twenty years, and it was about
time that the cry of demagogues
was silenced. He defended the right
of the President 10 remove whoever
hechose, and appoint men that were
agreeable to him, and as for the
Statute to which Mr.. Sherman re-
ferred, it was a dead letter, and
ought to be repealed. Senator Hoar
took the same position, and declar-
ed that the Grand Army of the Re
public had became as dangerous an
institution as the K. of L., and as
a political machine kept men who
were not willing to vote all the
money in the Treasury for pensions
in a state of moral terrorism.

The people of Rhode Island
seemed to have grasped the situa-
ton at the late election and elected
a Democratic Acknowledgement
which was an agreeable surprise to
the good people of that little state.
The number who voted a straight
ticket was very small, which is an
argument in favor ofthe mugwump-
tian theory. The Providence Jour
nal, good Republican paper, takes
its defeat seriously to heart, but
withal gives its party the following
good advice:
"The moral and political evils
which have been rebuked have not
been killed. Their forces are persis-
tent and powerful. The appetites
and the selfish interests of those
who cater to them will remain, and
will seek their qualification. The
venal and degrading influences that
make a trade of politics will be bv
no means abolished. The contest
will have to be continuous. Upon
the moral sentiment of the people
in the last resort will depend the
enforcement of any legislation
against vice or indulgence. And
upon the vigilance, the patriotism
and the energy of the honest and
citizenship will depend
the purity of politics and the high
of the administration of
public affairs. Had both been sufi-
ciently strong and vigorous, there
would not have been the demand
for these extraordinary and, per-
mistaken measures for the
restriction of personal freedom, and
the injury to the organization of
the party upon whose conference,
spirit and life depends, humanity
the best well-being Of the
state of Rhode Island. Let us hone
that the lessons will be wisely learn
and intelligently, firmly and
prudently followed"
