o'clock in the hall of the house Of representa-
tives. There were nearly 200 persons present.
The secretary read a list of all persons
registered, 1863 in al-the largest attendance
ever had at any prison congress. Joseph
Nicholson, superintendent Of the Detroit
house of correction and president of the
Warden's association, read a paper in which
he stated the advantages of the Bertillon
system of Identification by exact measure
ment of features-fngers. ears, noses, etc,
and said that the system would tend 10 de
crease crime by making identification of
| criminals certain
\ paper on the lnhor question was present
| ed Nv Chas F Welton, of Chicago He said
that if the hostile legislation to prison labor
| continues all the prisoners in the country
| will soon be idle. He attributed this state Of
| affairs to the power of labor agitators. He
| argued that the method proposed by the
| ONeill bill would not protect labor, and that
it was wrong to lock mp prisoners in idleness.
| Ex-Governor Bullock of Georgia, said the
| O'Neil hill would compel the abandonment
| of the whole system of leasing convicts in
vogue in the south He predicted that south
| ern members of congress would vote against
the bin when they saw it would compel the
| support of prisoners in idleness.
c, r. BrocEway, Of New York, offered a
resolution that the executive committee of
In, association confer with the governors of
the states throughout the union with view
to calling a conference on the convict labor
question,
Professor Waviand offered the following
resolution: Resolved That in the Judgment
of this association productive prison labor Is
an indispensable factor in the work Of prison
reform. and that any scheme which has a
tendency 10 permit or promote the idlenesS

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST.


The Shreveport Democrat claims to

that there is going to be hot contest
for Congressman Newtou's seat and
that the cslmness OF our congressional

crit mentions the names of the follow

this formidable list might be added
several dark horses, one especially
from Ouachite, who is said to have
his weather eye set upon the City OF
Distances and 10 possess longing for

does not think, however, that Mr..

Mr.. Newton will have easy sailing
and that the surface will remain calm.
Mr.. Newton is certainly the peer Of
any gentleman in the list Of candi"
dates furnished US by the Democrat
and there is no necessity for or sense
in a change unless an Improvement
can be made and that would be hard
to do. Mr.. Newton suits the people
of this district pretty well.

Illinois, says: "You have the finest
grapes I ever saw. One accustomed to
the isabella, Concord, Catawba and
other standards would hardly recognize
them with their improved size, flavor
and appearance. Your peaches are
wonderfully fine in size and flavor and
much superior 10 those of lower Michi-
gam"
Many have Inclined to the opinion
that fruit would not do well in the al
luviai lands of the valley, but the ex-
periments made by Mrs. Moore and
Others and the success with which they
have met have, or ought 10 have dis
PEELED the delusion.
Our verdict, therefore, is that any
body, either in the hills or low lands,
who desire it can have all the fruit
they want aud the finest in the world
II they will but make the proper effort
The fault, II any should fail, will be
with themselves.

ii A great sensation In legal circles in
New York aud Washington has been
stirred up by the discovery that the re-
ports of the Supreme Court of the
United States have been tempered
with and otherwise altered by official
reporters Wallace. and Otto. Two
hundred and fifty decisions have been
left out and of 125 volumes in the set
80 are faulty. 1t is asserted that in
many cases the sytIabi prepared by the
judges have been altered almost beyond
recognition. :. Statements have been
edited and amended and frequently
the language as recorded is different
from that used by the judges. The
court and bar are surprised and morti-
fled by the revelations. The faulty
cases are not reported in the telegram
reciting these facts but they will pro-
baby be given for the guidance OF
members of the bar in their practice.
