INTERESTING FACTS.

Igathcr from the report of the Manu-
facturers and Workingmen's League,
continued Mr.. Tyson, some interesting
facts. For about eight years there have
been on an average about SIX thousand
prisoners at work on contracts in the
State of New York, not one sixth Of
whom ever worked at any OF the ten in
dustries at which they were employed.
Consequently the free workmen engaged
in those industries were subjected to
forced idlensss to the extent which the
prison competition supplied the market
for their product. There are in the State
prisons of New York but thirty-two pri-
soners who were classified as moulders
when they entered them, and yet there
have been about thirteen hundred Of
those prisoners engaged in the different
branches of that industry. Now there is
no escape from theconclusiOn that |, $50 of
that trade outside the prisons were de-
privcd of work to the extent that the
market was supplied by this competition.
There are / 800 shoemakers out Of the
1000 at work at that trade none of
whom were shOemakers before their in
generation. IUc SlOc-DuSlLth5 ~ luOIe
generally the employment in prisons
because it is the largest of any one
mechanical industry in the United States.
About 50, 900 free men are engaged in
factories, while the prisons employ about
10. 600 in that industry under the con-
tract system, or about one eighth of the
whole number. The whole tendency is
10 absorb the entire factory industries of
the country. This is, therefore, ques-
ton that affects the manufacturer as we'll
as the mechanic.
If We will bring this question home to
ourselves every man in this chamber
and in this city would Indignantly pro-
test against being dragged down to the
level of the criminal and forced to com
pete with the convict. Let us, then, by
practical legislation show our sympathy
with those who are thus Illuminated.
These are some of the reasons then
which lead many of my constituents to
feel SO lively an interest in this question.

PENITENTIARY BILL.
II PASSES rHg SENATE AND GOES TO
THE HOUSE.
Thirty Thousand Dollars Appropriated to
Rebuild the Burned shoe-bhop
for Davis & Co.

In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Loven-
stein called up ont OF lis order the bill
/ presented by him on Thursday from the
Committee or Public Institutions and
4 Education, and which was endorsed by
the House Committee on Asylums and
/ Prisons. directing the Board of Di-
/ rcctOrs of the Peritentiary TO rebuild as
soon as possible the shop occupied by
the Joe Davis Shoe Company and re-
Gently burned, and appropriating sum
not exceeding $50, 900 for this purpose
/ The question was upon the engrossment
Of the bill.
( THE LABOR QUESTION.
! Mr. EilySon arose to discuss the mea-
( sure, and said
Mr. President,-There is something
more involved IN this bill than the mere
appropriation Of $50, 600 to rebuild the
buildings lately destroyed by fire at the
( penitentiary-it is the question of what
/ shall be the policy of the Common
wealth in regard to the employment of
I convict labor In competition with free
labor The Roanoke platform declares
that ." it shall he the duty of the Demo
/ cratic party in the future. as il has been
IN the past, to elevate, dignity, and sus-
tain labor. and it stands pledged to pre-
vent, rs far rs practicable, any conflict
/ of convict labor with the honest labor Of
our mechanics and other working citi
/ zens.
1t will doubtless be said that all this
/ talk about convict labor is a mere senti-
ment, ana that after all our Virginia me-
Chanics hnye but little practical interest
in its determination. That may be in a
I large measure true, but the same argu-
ment will apply with equal force to the
demand for the repeal OF the internal
revenue tax on tobacco. The Eastern
Shore, Tdewater, and portions of the
Valley sections of Virginia have but little
/ practical interest in the repeal Of that
law, and yet recognizing it is as unjust
and oppressive TO a large section Of the
state, they cordially unite their voices
with ours in demanding its immediate
abrogatiOn. SO the mechanics Of Nir-
ginia feel that whilst the employment Of
convict labor III our penitentiaTy may
not now directly affect many OF them,
yet they stand ready 70 JON hands with
their fellow workmcn in other sections
IN opposing the employment of convict
labor in our skilled industries, believing
that the injury of one is the injury Of
all. They desire to prevent such state
of affairs III Virginia as prevails in other
States.

THE CONTRACT.

"In the consideration of this bill, the
Speaker continued, sis involved the
question of the status of the contract of
the State with Messrs. Joseph Davis q
Co. / feel that | have not before me
such information as would enable me to
decide intelligently the legal and moral
obhgation of the Commonwealth 10 re-
build for the benefit of the above firm.
| would, therefore. suggest that this
whole question might be referred to
either q joint special committee OF the
General Assembly or to the Board of Di-
rectors of the Penitentiary, with power
TO act
If after a foil investigation il is con-
cluded that the State is legally and
morally under obligations to rebuild,
then every good citizen would, of course,
desire that the State should live up TO her
contract. But if not, then some other
disposition equally advantageous TO the
State might be made whereby these con-
victs could be hired ont and yet not
brought into competition with skilled
labor. am informed by the Governor
that there is IN active demand for these
conyicts 10 work on the railroads
Competition between these contractors
would doubtless enable us TO make as
favorable terms for their hire as is now
made with the shoe contractors, and in
that event we should not hesitate as TO
our duty and thus carry out as opportu-
nity offers the pledge made at Roanoke
TO elevate, dignity, and sustain labor,
and TO prevent as far rs possible any
conflict Of convict labor with the honest
labor of our mechanics.

JUDGE INGRAM's PAY.

A letter was read from Judge John Fl.
Ingram, of the Hustings Conrt, asking
that his salary be increased from $500 to
81, ,00O. He called attention to the fact
that the present salary was fixed in 1874,
when the business done by the court and
the resources of the city were not more
than half what they are at present. be
was sure that the citys income would
warrant it. The Legislature, he stated,
has passed a law authorizing the Council
to increase the salary TO 200. The
petition was referred to the Finance

FINANCIAL.
The report of the Finance Com
mittee for January was read and
adopted. The report Of the City Ser
geant as TO delinquent taxes for the year
1886 was forwarded. The amount Of
delinquent taxes reported was 81, 4l3S6.
The committee reported that of the

sued to be used exclusively for funding n
like amount OF per cent. bonds S57, 500
we're sold, netting, with interest OR bal
ances. $50, 122.30. Upon examination
the committee found that only S57, 800
of the old bonds were redeemable at ten
years. $1,000
It seems that 81, 500 OF this 100000
issue had been disposed Of before the
ten-year option feature was inserted.
Consequently this -, 500 could not be
called in, and parties owning them de-
clincd to fund.
OF the old bonds Sj6450 have been
redeemed, leaving 81, $50 outstanding.
The interest on the maturing 8 per
cent bonds Of September 1st, amount
ed to S2,382, leaving cash balance Of
$4,000, out of which there is to be
paid the 81 $50 and the interest when
due. The remaining $500 OF 6's are
held with the hope that the holders of
the outstanding bonds may be induced
to surrender.

Among the strange things which have found
their way into the rooms of the Natural History
Society is sparrow which was hanged by
woman's hair. It was discovered by T. 4. Lam
son, OF "a Florence street. Near his house IL
large number of pine trees. and he saw at the
end of limb on one of these trees . sparrow
suspended from branch. He could see moth
ing by which the bird was hung. and it was .
very curious sight. His son, who WAS called,
went up into the tree and carefully sawed of
small portion OF the limb. The whole secret
was then revealed. On the twig was q neatly
built nest in which were three speckled eggs.
When examined they were found to be cold,
which showed the homo had been broken up for
some time. The male sparrow WAS hung BY .
womans hair, which was placed around his neck
neck just as neatly as though it had been done
by human banda The other end was fastened
TO the nest. being part Of it, The eggs were
on one side Of the nest. while on the other side
was Q hole just large enough for the bird to 60
through. 1t may be, perhaps. that he had been
attacked BY an enemy and took this way Of o.
Gaping. only to meet his death In going
through the nest the Hair might have caught
around the clippers" neck, aud thus caused
the bird to choke to death.

By the way. talking Of earrings, puts me in
mind Of an Eastern legend which heard
short time ago about their origin. When Haear
ran away to escape the wrath Of Abrams wife,
90 the story goes. Sarai vowed that il her hand
maid ever returned she would cause her to be
mutilatsd, thinking thus to destroy her beauty
and prevent her causing any furthur domestic IN
felicity. Time. however. had the effect Of so
cooling Sarai's wrath that when Haear came
back and pleaded with her she decided TO forego
her vengeance and restored her OK hand maid
to favor. But an oath was not q thing to be
trif1ed with, and. as Sarai had solemniy vowed
20 mutilate Haear. she was in a qusudary to
know how to do this without injuring her. or
marrirg her fair face Finally. she hit upon
the expedient OF piercing small hole in each
Of Hagars ears. and it is said that Abram to
Offset the pretty landmarks punishment, pre-
sented her with two beautiful jewels to suspend
from the holes Her appearance thus adorned
50 excited the admiration Of the other women
of the tribe that the wearing OF earrings soon
became general among them.
