ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.


The convict labor question is coming
rapidly to the front in this State, and II Is
a settled fact that the ques tion will come
before the Legislature. The policy OF the
Governor elect Hon. J. Z. Eagle, OF Lon
oke, is outlined by him as follows;
ut is my iAtention 10 have an inter-
view with Colonel Miller of the Arkan-
sas Industrial Company, with view to
the State taking back the prisoners II he
desires to give them up after the Legls-
lature mcets.u
"Are you in favor OF the State taking
them back?" #1
II am, most certainly"
"What are your ideas in regard to han
ding theml"
"Ithink the short ter m prisoners should
be separated from the long term and the
vicious convicts, and also that the boys
should ks kept entirely from the older
ones, with a view of their reformation"
"How would you employ them?"
at is my opinion that the vicious and
longterm mea should be employed with
In the walls, and the short term men
should be put TO farming or running a
garden in connection with the prison. The
short termers could raise vegetables
enough to supply the prisoners"
s'what do you think about the bagging
matter."
81 have read Colonel Zeb Wards artt-
cles on this subject, and am very favora-
ably impressed with them. For my part,
do not see why bagging could not be
successfully manufactured by the prison
ers inside the walls. The whole question
is one which has received great deal OF
study from me. 1t Is of great interest to
the State, and 1t seems TO me tho wish OF
the people in all parts of the Slate that
the prisoners be confined within the walls,
and that under no circumstances should
they be permitted to come in contact with
honest labor, or be scatt cred in different
parts Of the State"

Harvey's work cost him twenty-six years TO
bring 20 maturity. his discovery was col1ly
receised; most persons opposed it; others said
it was old, while very few sgreed with him.
To an intimate friend Harvey complained,
after his book on the circulation was pub
