Prison Labor.

In his inaugural address Governor Ames
Of Massachusetts devotes considerable space
70 the prison labor of the State. The last
General Court passed law abolishing con-
tract labor, and provided that in all labor of
convicts machinery should be dispensed with.
The object of this law was the same as that
of the law passed by the Maine Legislature
for diversifying the industries at our State
Prison; to reduce to minimum the compe-
tition of convict labor with free labor. Gov
ernor Ames finds several features Of the law
which in his opinion should be changed.
"The use of machinery" he says, sis so
much part Of wage-earning to-day, that to
deny all knowledge of it excepting the prim-
tive forms of hand and foot power to young
inmates Of the reformatories, is to lessen
their chances of living honest lives on their
return to the outside world. To prisoners
under sentence for life or for long terms
these things would apply with less mischief,
but upon men who are soon TO resume the
ordinary relations Of business and Industrial
life they would be especially severe"
or the success of the experiment which
the State is now trying of employing
the convicts itself, as Maine had done
and is doing, Governor Ames has some
doubts. He says it will cost the State
1886. 600 to start the law in operation, and
he has fears that then the convicts will fall
far short of paying for their own support.
OF course Maine has fewer convicts, and
here the problem is far less complicated
Int It is worthy of notice that under the
able management of our prison officials the
state. without recourse to the contract sys-
tenn. has employed its convicts in an indus

nae cumberIand rains Tragedy

1t has been good many years since Cum
berland county has been the scene of so bru-
tai and deliberate murder AS that perpetra-
ted at Cumberland Mills Thursday night. The
original purpose of the assassin was simply
to steal, but when he found his identity had
been discovered he resorted to murder to
shield himself from the penalty of the crime
of burglary. Ait circumstances indicate
that the murderer was familiar with the
premises and the affairs Of the family. He
chose the early part of the night, probably
because he knew he should then find the
back door open and be able to enter without
arousing anyone; and he chose this particu-
lar night because he knew that Mr.. Stacks
had just sold his house and would be likely
to have considerable money in the house.
No stranger, nor tramp, would have been
likely to know these things. As yet, there
are, apparently, no clues that are worth any
thing; but further investigation will, very
likely, reveal some that will lead up to the
arrest of the murderer. Competent detect
ives should be employed, and the town
should offer q reward.

CHEAP GEORGIA GROUND.
Less Than Half a Cent an Acre for
Thickly Timbered Lands.
[HawkinsyIlle Dispatch. ]


Judge w. L. Grice, attorney for the adj
ministration of the estate Of the late Harvey
w. Lathrop, returned to Hawkinsville few
days ago from a trip to Charlton county
where he went to attend the sale Of the lands
of said estate. There are several thousand
acres of the land all uncleared and having
upon it such timber as is usually found near
the water courses on the coast of Georgia.
The lands were sold at public cutlery to the
highest bidder before the court house door at
Traders hill, which is the county site Of
Charlton. Eleven lots containing 400 acres
each, making total of $500 acres, brought
only $5S. Some of the lots sold for 50 each,
being less than half cent an acre.
Judge Grice had talk with one of the citi-
zens who appeared to be in considerable
trouble, as If laboring under some great mem
tai embarrassment or financial distress. The
man had that peculiar downcast look that is
manifested by man who swaps horses, gives
heavy boots" and next morning awakes
to consciousness of having not only obtained
an inferior horse, but has lost all the boot
money. The citizen acknowledged to Judge
Grice that he bought some time ago nine lots
of Charlton county land, aggregating 4410
acres, and gave for the same the sum Of $50.
"But now,o said the man, 81 am sorry / in
vested so heavily in land, for don't think II
will ever be able to get my money back"

NOT BY LAWS ALONE.
[Bridgton News.l
As the result of years experience in
prosecuting Kennebec county rumsellers.
County Attorney Carleton delivered himself
of this nugget of wisdom in a recent inter-
view: 81 tell you what is a fact Law alone
won't stop drinking. There must be con-
slant agitation Of the subject; constant effort
by the churches and temperance 0rganlZa-
tions; and healthy public sentiment must
ever be behind the law to make ii effectual"
True as preaching; and yet, unhappiy, this
truth is gradually being lost sight of, and
even those who affect to be most interested
in the suppression of the drink traffic are re-
lying almost entirely upon legal suasion for
the accomplishment of the wOrk,-a most
stupendous blunder.

TRrideton News

The Portland dailies have started very
lively boom in behalf of Hon. Henry b.
Cleaves-a Bridgton born b0y-as the Re-
publican candidate for Governor; and though
Mr.. Cleaves has made no formal announce
ment Of his candidacy, it seems quite prob
able that his name will 60 before the con-
vention. 1t is as yet too early to make any
committals in a matter Of such Importance
to the welfare of the State, and one involv-
ing questions of availability and other con-
siderations; yet at any and all times it is
safe to say that in all the positions to which
Mr.. Cleaves has been called he has acquitted
himself creditably and made for himself a
proud record. AS member of the House,
Attorney General of the State for several
years, and in other capacities, he has won an
enviable reputation, and has throughout the
State a large following Of devoted friends
who will be glad to aid in making him the
standard bearer Of his party in the approach
ing campaign. Mr. Cleaves is son of the
late Thomas Cleaves of Bridgton, and a
brother of Nathan, Thomas and Robert A.,
all well known Bridgtonians.

We observe that the Hon. Samuel j. Kan
dali was not sat upon by the Speaker in
making up the committees to any great ex-
tent He is going to be boss again of the
appropriations committee which carries with
it the power of blocking legislation in the
House whenever the distinguished Pennsyl-
vania may feel so disposed. There has been
a great demand on the part of some of the
free trade Democratic papers for the squelch-
ing of Mr.. Randall, butin the face Of Presi-
Dental election Mr.. Carlisle, who probably
sympathized with this demand, deemed it
indiscreet to comply. Doubtless he acted
wisely, for Brother Randall carries good
many votes in his pocket which win be
needed next fall If Grover Cleveland is going
to stand any chance Of election After the
next Presidential campaign, it may be safe to
discipline Mr.. Randall, but not now. Har-
mony is now the watchword, and there will
be no great hesitation even among the most
advanced free traders to promote it no mat
ter how great sacrifice Of principle IT costs.
If Prohibition has not produced all the
the results that its friends hoped for in the
way Of shutting up saloons and diminishing
intemperance, there is nothing in the results
of the license system as exhibited in Massa-
chusetts cities and towns to give any ground
for hope that anything better would come
from that system. For ten years the city of
Lowell has been trying to reduce the liquor
traffic by the license plan, and with very
Indifferent results, for while the number of
licenses in 1878 was 2os in 1887 they had risen
to 457, OF more than double. Drunkenness
increased in almost as great ratio, the
number of arrests in 1878 being 1876 while in
1887 they rose to 2501. Certainly no city
under prohibitory law has shown so bad
record as this. 1t has been assumed by the
friends of the license system that it would
tend to shut up the lowest rumshop, but it
does not appear to have had that effect in
Lowell inasmuch as the Mayor of the city
in his inaugural address urges the alder
men not to grant licenses to dram shops in
the slums, but confne the sale of liquors to
localities that are open and easy Of access.
1t is alleged against the prohibitory law
that it is made a political machine but 1t
Is no more likely to be prostituted for politi-
cal purposes than license law. The Mayor
of Lowell advises that the licensing power
be taken from the board Of aldermen and
placed in the hands of board less subject
to municipal or party politics, an unmistak-
able insinuation that politics have influenced
the aldermen in the granting of licenses.
Indeed all the objections urged against a
prohibtory system seem equally strong
against a license system.

The Republican candidates for Governor

others are among, the number. These are all
highly respectable gentlmen and have the

chosen delegations, however, and in fact the
Republican state convention is not definitely
called as yet, so we cannot tell who the next
Governor will be just at present.
