CONVICT labor is a chestnut that is likely always to be with Us. The ques- ton is to Le taken up again by the New York legislature, and new bill for it's regulation has been prepared by mem bers interested in it. The bill provides that convicts shall be employed ill build ing and repairing penal.reformatory and pauper institutions, in manufacturing g articles needed by them. and i'll raising food for them; also in draining the over flowed lands of the state and improving its highways. Some scheme that will keep the convicts at work and at the same time not bring them in competition with free labor is wanted. and the pro
 !. posed law seems feasible at first glance

THE RED BANDANA

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land! No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason X Hamlin, Boardman X Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.

SUGGESTIONS TO THE PAN-AMERICAN
CONGRESS.

A short time ago the Philadelphia
Board of Exchange received a letter
from Secretary of State james u.
Blaine requesting that body to offer
suggestions respecting proposed sub
iects for consideration by the Inter
national American Congress which
will shortly resume It's session IN
Washington, after a tour through
the country In compliance with
this request the Exchange has for
warded to the Secretary of State a
number of suggestions, among them
being a declaration in favor of free
raw materials, and another protest
ing against the payment Of bountles
or subsidies to either steamship or
sailing lines.
The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas the Secretary Of State
has requested the commercial bodies
of Philadelphia to offer suggestions
respecting the subjects proposed for
consideration by the International
American Congress to be held in
Washington during the month of
October, 1889; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Commercial
Exchange of Philadelphia respect
fully offers the following sugges-
tons:
The establishment Of direct tele-
graphic communication with all the
export centres of South America.
The establishment of banks Of
commerce in all the American coun
tries with the assistance Of their
respective Governments that direct
means of exchange may be secured.
The admission into this country OF
all raw or manufactured material
absolutely free of duty from said
countries, no matter whether such
material be intended for direct con-
sumption for food, or for use IN the
arts and sciences or for subsequent
manufacture. Provided reciprocal
action is taken by said Governments
touching our goods imported into
their ports.
The establishment of uniform port
charges, classification and valuations
of merchandise, and as far as practi-
cable of commercial reciprocity.
The universal establishment by
the South American countries of
our system of weights and measures
if any change at all is made in the
present system. The Exchange
however, is of opinion that were
trade once firmly established imma-
terial measures of this kind would
easily adjust themselves.
The establishment in its entirety
of our system of patent law; the
creation of some method Of arbitrat-
ing, without European interference
of any difficulties or differences that
might arise, and the extradition OF
criminals for other than political
offenses, are all subjects for consid
Grafton.
The completion of the Nicaragua
Canal and the guarantee of its con-
troll, free from European interior
ence, would be of incalcuable ben
eft.
We unhesitatingly condemn the
payment of bounties or subsidies to
either steamship or sailing lines
other than the proper and generous
compensation for carrying the mail
but recommend the relief of vessels
engaged in the trade from all
charges as far as practicable, and
the allowance of Americans to buy
foreign bottoms and sail them in
foreign only, under the American
flag; "and'' the establishment oil
directrapid communications between
the several interested countries fol-
the conveyance of mails, passengers
and goods Phil. Record.

THE adventures, Mrs. Eva Hamil-
ton, has been convicted and sentenced
TO two years In the New Jersey State
Prison. There are few, II any, who
will regret this, and the only regret
respectable people can have is that she
could not, under this charge, be i'm
prisoned for life. Society is not safe
while such people as this woman are
at large. Hamilton was not the only
man sine dupcd, still We have no sym
pathy or pity for him, as he richly
deserved all the trouble and suffering
which be permitted her to bring upon
him. He has no doubt learned valu-
able lesson, which may prove of use to
him In the future, but the disgrace Of

WINDSOR, Ont, Sept. 20.-The dead
bodies of man and woman were found
yesterday morning in a Dursery here, the
woman having been shot through the
heart and the man through the forehead.
They had been seen sitting together two
hours before. A revolver, with two empty
chambers, lay beside the bodies, and the
grass near by looked as If somebody had
hands. TIE man was apparently 27 years
of age, aud the woman about 20. Their
clothes contained only three cents in
money, but papers found on the man in.
dicated that he was Silas Dinsmore, oil
Rushville, Indiana, and that the young
woman was probably his wife.

THE report of Superintendent Ay
don, of the Fire Alarm Telegraph. that
was presented to council last evening
is not only worthy of careful perusal.
but should also receive the early at.
tention oil the Fire Committee. The
Superintendent says;
iAt present the hre alarm system OF
the city, embracing tbirty-two boxes,
comprises only two circuits, between
which the ii rm boxes are about evenly
divided. No. circuit includes all that
portion oi the city west Of Market street.
and Numbtr two circuit all Ui that por-
tion ol she city east OF Market street.
Experience has long since demonstrated
shat the two circuits are not enough for
the thorough and satisfactory operation
OF the system, viz: Any foul or obstruc
tIon upon the wires Of any one of theEt
circuits affects all the fire alarm boxes o
that circuit and throws thom out of SER
vice until the foul or obs ruction is re
moved. Thus. SIM, lie Interference witt
the wires deprlves one half of the city fol
the time of proper protection aga!ns
hre."
This is a matter that should be al
tended to at once, as there is tot
much involved to admit OF delay. A
the superintendent shows how this de
feet can be remedied, the committe,
should not lose any time in acting oil
his suggestions.

Is something that is not wanted by the

There were good loyal Democrats in

therefore the position of Commission

are In favor of giving every man d

are not in favor of granting pensions
TO men, unless they may have lost an
arm or limb, who are able TO earn a

Let the next Commissioner OF PEN

will be more money TO give to those
who actually neod and deserve it. The

THE ordinance introduced into Coun-

the building inspector the right, when
he considers It necessary, TO order fire

now vested In the Chief Engineer OF
the Fire Department, but no one, ex-
cept ex. Chief Engineer Sweeny, ever
made an effort TO enforce it. There
are several buildings In this city that
are badly in need of fire escapes, and
the owners should be compelled "a
erect them. There is one building in
particular, In which number OF socie.
ties meet on the fourth floor, that has
but single staircase to reach any ol

ties meeting in this building appointed
