Receivers Her Mental balance.
A pathetic sto.y wit q iighly inter
esting sequel )mes III n across the
water to people living in this town.
An aged mother, while suffering tenn
porary insanity, wandered from her
sons home in Dedham while laboring
under the impression that her sailor
boy was calling her. She boarded an
ocean steamer and landed in Liver
pool. The first person she met when
leaving the steamer was her boy, who
by strange coincidence had landed
in that port that morning and was
watching the incoming passengers out
of idle curiosity. The poor mother
thought it was prearranged and the
Joy of the reunion restored her reason.
The story is one of the most ro-
mantle that has been told in many
years. Mrs. Sarah Smith is the prin-
cipal actor in the scene. She is 60
years old and has lived with her son
by her first husband, Arthur Jollif, in
Dedham. One day she suddenly re-
marked to her daughter-in-law:
why, there is George" meaning
her younger son, land must go to
/ him. He is calling must go. Poor
George, / shall not desert you"
Her sister in-law, hearing her strange
EXPLANATIONS, stepped to the window
and, looking out upon the street, re-
marked: Why, mother, George is
not out there"
II know better" replied Mrs. Smith;
''he was calling to me to come to
him."
Mrs Jollif said no more, thinking,
LII Il . l..
and proceeded with her household
duties. While thus engaged unob-
served by her, Mrs Smith went out of
the house, undoubtedly in search Of
her son, whom she supposed was wait
ing for her, and continued on up the
street, imagining that she would over
take him. She walked to Boston, was
found sick and exhausted in the street
and was cared for at the hospital with
her mind still clouded She claimed
to have wandered from England and
begged to be sent back to that coun-
try. The English consul provided her
with a passage and she embarked on
one of the big ocean steamers for Liv-
; erpool
A few days before Mrs. Smith took
: passage for Liverpool her son George
: had shipped on board steamer which
J was blowing the sea in advance of
the steamer which conveyed his
, mother George got into port at
= early morning and with many others

woman making her way along the
wharf. The form looked familiar to

Erports Instead of continuing this in
teresting comparison by showing in IA
similar table the exports to the same
countries for the corresponding years,
Senior Cubas presents table that shows,
not by countries but by articles, the ex-
ports for the fiscal years ending in 1873
and 1888. AS railroad building had not
begun in 1873, this date is as valuable for
purposes of comparison as 1874 would
have been; but the failure to specify the
destination of the exports is very ser-
Gus omission. The tables are as fol-

CoNVICr LABURERs.

When the present prison labor con-
tracts in Illinois expire they will not
be renewed. aid the contract system
will come to an end in that State. The
labor unions demanded the abolition
of the system, and the politicians ac-
ceded, because they feared the votes
of the workingmen. The latter never
attempttd to reason in the matter.
Prison-made goods we're sell in the
markets, and the mechanics knew that
those goods cana in competition with
those made by hoDes laborers and they
argued that honest workmen were
therefore in competition with criminals.
The same cry has been uttered and
needed in several OF the States. AS to
Illinois and her prisoners, Governor
Oglesby is puzzled. He says: ITO keep
the convict employed, and not bring
his labor in competition with free out
side labor of the honest mechanic,
artisan or laboring man, will test the
ingenuity of the most skilled legis-
lator." The fact is, the ingenuity Of
the legislator is not equal to the
task. 1t simply cannot be done.
The task is an impossible one,
and legislators are vain who
attempt it. Laboring men are, it has
always seemed TO US, unwise if not IN
reasonable, who ask that it be tried. To
employ convicts at all, in any produc-
tive industry, is to bring their labor into
connection with outside labor. If
prisoners are made to raise only the
bread they eat, they deprive farmers of
q market for just that amount of grain,
and thus compete with honest and
legitimate labor. If the convicts
manufacture only the clothes they
wear, free, honest labor cannot
manufacture those clothes. When
convict labor does not compete
with outside labor, than the convicts
will not work ct ell, or will work at
some useless and non-productive in
dustry, as carrying stones from one
corner of the prison yard to another
and then carrying them back.
Workingmen, it seems to US, should
ask themselves whether it is better for
them and for the community ID
support the convicts in idleness or
cem 9el them to work and earn what

HERE IS an Associated Press tele-
gram which was published in the morn
ing papers of the 11th:
CINCIENATI, O., January 1o-A saance
was held at the residence of A. S Willis
last night, at which the spirit OF the late
Ben Hopkins was recognized He was in
his grave clothes, which changed to u
white robe. He said he was not quite salts
fed with his present hume.
Hopkins is the man who as cashier
helpsd to rob the Fidelity Bank of Gin
cinnati, and who with his partner in
the theft was sent to the penitentiary
He was pardoned last month by the
President, and within a week of the re-
lease died. Ii the popular idea of the
hereafter is at all correct, the natural
assumption is that Hopkins is not
quite satisfied with his present home.
If he were pleased with it, much of the
teaching of Christianity has been vain.
Such men as Hopkins should be given
the most uns satisfactory quarters to be
found, for he robbed the widow and
the fatherless

they consume and cost. If this ques-
ton were asked, it also occurs to us
that only one reply would be given by
an intelligent person, and that
would be that the convicts should
work and work hard at whs tever
industry would produce most in value.
1t seems to US that the honest laborer
cannot relish the thought of toiling SO
that the burglar, robber and cut-throat
may have their meals regularly, wear
warm clothes, sleep in comfortable
beds, and walk about their prisons IS
gentlemen of leisure. The honest
mechanic is bad reasoner when he
asks the privilege of giving portion
of his hard earnings to the idle convict.
Statistics show that the convicts in
this country number about one
to every fifteen hundred persons
OF the same age outside the
prisons; therefore the competition
cannot be very severe and OPP
pressiVe. 1t is not a great hard
ship if one man in fifteen
hundred is deprived of work admitting
the extreme view that this would be
the case-by reason of convict labor;
but it is a very heavy load for the tax
payers to carry to support convicts in
idleness.
The contract system in Illinois was
made political and not an economic
question. 1t is one of those matters
which have no place in politics. When
the workingmen see what it costs to
keep up the prisons, perhaps they will
conclude that it is cheaper and better
to compel the convicts to work.

A WISE WOMAN.

On New Years day, the day on
which Mayor Grant. of New York, was
inaugurated, the widow of the late
Tammany chief. John Kelly, sent him
the following message: Tell him that
when he takes his Office he must put
his enemies out and his friends in. ;"
Mrs. Kelly was long enough the wife
Of her husband to learn politics, and to
acquire knowledge of the people. If
the advice she gave to Grant had been
given to Cleveland on the day OF his
Inauguration, and he lad needed it.
he would not now be wondering
where he will go and what he will do
after March 4th next. The Democratic
party would not now feel that it has
before it a battle to fight which may
continue for years before the end comes
in q victory. The country would not be
facing an outlook Of high taxes, OF ex-
travsgant government and the oVerrid-
ing ofindiVidual and community rights.
If President Cleveland had promptly
put his enemies out and his friends in.
last November as many men in New
York would have voted for him as voted
for David Bennett Hill, the man who
did put his enemies out and his friends
in. Mr.. Cleveland listened to the
Mugwumps and left his enemies in,
and those enemies turned the Demo
cratic State of Indiana into Repub-
ican State, for his friends turned into
enemies when he refused to put them
in. So far as its Federal officials are
concerned, California is to-day largely
in the hands of Republicans. The
closeness of the vote last fall furnishes
conclusive evidence that if the friends
Of Mr.. Cleveland had been put in charge
in 1885, in 1888 they would have seen
to it that the glorious State of the
golden west took its place in the
Democratic column.
john Kelly was one of the most sue
cessful political managers that this
country has ever produced, and the
secret of his success is exposed in this
message of his widow. He trusted his
friends, and knew too much of human
nature to think that his enemies would
work for his advancement. Bismarck
does not enlist Frenchmen in the Ger
man army. 1t will soon be demon
strated that General Harrison does not
propose to retain supremacy for his
party by employing Democrats for his
lieutenants. His enemies will be put out
and his friends put in. The Mugwump
refrain will be to him the song Of the
enemy, and when he goes into battle be
will know that no attacks will come
from within his own ranks.
