PRISON LABOR.


 They are having great deal of trouble in New York with the prison labor problem. Some demagogues got law made to prevent ''the competition of prison labor with free labor" The result is that many of the prisoners are idle and begging for work, and the cost of maintaining the prisons of the State has greatly increased. It has never been shown that free laborers in any branch of industry have been thrown out of employ ment or paid less than they would otherwise have received on account of convict labor. But this fact did not have as much influence with the New York legislature ss the clamor of the labor leaders. And now the people of the State have an opportunity to see what it costs to follow blind guiders.
 Lieutenant Governor Jones of New York Che who pays the freight) has set forth a scheme of prison labor which he thinks will solve good many of the difficulties connect ed with the matter. He proposes that an ac- count shall be kept with every convict in which he shall be credited with the actual value of his labor according to the market price, and charged with the cost of his board, lodging, clothing, medical attendance and so forth. The balance remaining to his credit after these deductions arc made shall be periodically paid to the prisoners family, or, if he have no dependents, shall be accumu- lated, and the amount of it given to him at the time of his discharge.
 Of couse this plan would furnish power ful motive to industry and good behavior, but there are other things to be thought of. The New York Times puts it fairly when it says It would certainly not be right for the State to pay money to convicts or their families while it is collecting taxes for the support of the convicts. Under the "State account plan" there was always g deficiency, amount ing one year to about three-qusrters of g million. This deficiency was steadily re- duced under the contract system until it was actually replaced by small surplus. The time of a prisoner during his sentence is for fe1ted to the State. Neither himself nor hi: family has any claim upon it. In justice te honest citizens and taxpayers the State should so employ the prisoner that he should not be public burden. It is only when the prisons have become self-supporting that the convict himself should be admitted to any present ol prospective share in the proceeds of his labor

 The great success of our January Clearing
 Sale, which far exceeded our most sanguine
 expectations, convinces us that in our efforts
 to quote low prices on line of reliable goods
 we have met with the appreciation of the
 dry goods buyers of New Haven and vicin-
 ity. During the coming season we will con-
 tinue our efforts to place before the public
 the best line of Dry Goods, which we can offer as reliable goods, and at prices that will convince anyone who is familiar with the quality and make of the goods we offer that we have struck rock bottom prices. Our lines of Dress Goods and Silks cannot l be excelled for variety and for complete sortment of all grades. We cannot give you ! an adequate idea of the line of new goods we | are now opening in these departments, but | would ask you to call and inspect them. ] This is our Banner Department, and no eff l fort will be spared te have it up and if any l thing above the usual standard of excellence. In each of our several departments we | have effected an entire change with regards 1 to the prices of the goods, and will be able ! to place on our counters, at various times, ! SPECIAL BARGAINS which it would be we'll to watch for, as we expect to save you 1 many dollars.
 ments will enable us to better serve the de-

 But the women of Connemara are pictur- esuue in attire and shapely in form to re- markable degree. Their limbs are long and graceful They are erect and spirited in car riage, and the immense black braideens or cloaks, with which all shortcomings in cloth- ing are shrouded, fall in truly classic folds about them. Bare-limbed as the men at all seasons, you will not infrequently catch glimpses of legs exquisitely moulded as those of the Venus of Cos; while the most voluptuous types of southern Europe or lan- guorous, tropical Cuba, furnish no more per- feet examples of tapering, dimpled arm, beautifully formed shoulders and full but heightened neck, with dove-like double curve.

Foay pieces only. A child
can take it apart, clean

The common meat cutter is
a grinder. The meat is rolled

are hurt by making it into a

There seems to be a difference o.
| opinion in regards to whether butter
colored with foreign matter is subject
to taxation under the oleomargarine
law. Internal Revenue Commissioner
Miller is reported as saying that his Of
| flee has never ruled that coloring mat
| ter put in butter makes it liable to be-
| ing taxed and further states that in
the law in question, which was passed
Aug. I'd, 1886, butter is defined to he
"a food product usually known as but
ter, and which is made exclusively
| from cream, OF milk, or botll; and with
or without additional coloring matter"
Richman Coles, manager of the Piles
grove Dairy Association, in answer to
a letter Of inquiry, has received official
notification from Revenue Collector
Terrell, that the use of butter coloring
containing oil subjects will subject
all creameries using the same to a spe-
cial tax of $500, and a revenue of two
cents per pound for butter in which
such coloring matter is used. In con-
sequence, the creamery has discOntin-
ued the use of colorirg matter in their
butter, as have also the proprietors Of
the Kichmantown aud Harrisonville
creameries.

CAN, aE DONE IN A DRY TOWN.

At a temperance mass meeting held
in s.iIville a few days ago an opinion
from City Solicitor Nixon was read to
the effect that when a wagon in Mill
vile delivers II case or a key of beer,
or what is supposed to be beer, it was
prima facia sale of beer in Millville
contrary to law, and the burden of
proof is put upon the person so deliver
ing it to show that it was not beer and
was not sold to the person receiving it.
The arrest of any one delivering cases
or kegs in which lager l'eer is always
sold, is warranted by law, because the
legal presumption until disposed is that
he is selling the beer.
