The State Account Plan Popu-
lar--Some Food for
Reflection.

The question of how best to employ
the convict labor has been more COLI
stantly pondered and discussed within
the prison walls, sine the late contract
expired, than in the outer world. The
discussion. too, has been more intelli-
gently carried on than would be possi-
BILE among any other body of men of
equal numbers. selected at random from
society outside. There is no doubt
either that the conclusions reached by
the men are sincerely attained in de-
sire to reason out the best public policy
in the matter, however, others may
think that the cOnvictS' advice and
opinion on the question must neces-
sarily be given from purely selfish mo-
tiyes. The vast majority are opposed
to the contract system for rea-
sons generally embodied in few
representative opinions given below;
general idea prevailing also that under
the state account system more time
would be allowed for educational work
in lines that would lead to right living
when the prison term is over. A few,
generally those who have had specially
agreeable work, OF have not lately been
under the contractors, are agreeable to
the old plan-but not those who worked
from morning until night at machine,
from which they were not allowed to
move more than five feet, except when
taken to the cell room. Another dis
tasteful feature is the fact that under
the contract system certain guards (em-
pIoyed by the state) were paid Ton the
side) an extra stipend by the contractors
for the purpose of course, of enlist
ing the convict's guardian in the
interest of the con vlct's taskmastcr
Among the officials one of the worst
features incident to the old regime was
the mixing in of citizen laborers with
the convicts. With all precautions it
was impossible to prevent citizens car
rying out letters from the prisoners and
smuggling in contraband articles, es-
pecially whisky. All, however, are
agreed that the contract system itself
was bad, and not the contractors. A

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Feb, 12.-The
politicians to-day discovered that Gen.
Noble, of st. Louis, one of the leading
attorneys of that city, is among the

recommends and renders possible, if
not probable the selection of Gen.
Noble, is the fact that he is not identl-
fled with any party faction in his state.
1t is said the Withdrawal Of Hon. John
B. Henderson's name from the list of

largely upon these grounds. Gen. Har-
rison had perhaps as many as 800 callers
