coNYIoTs IN TENNESSEE

The protest against convict labor where
It completes with honest industry is as
much opposed in Tennessee as in New
York. The miners are determined to
keep convicts from the mines, and at
last accounts were ahead, having COM
PEELED the guard to withdraw from the
region, taking the convicts with them.
The success is only temporary, however,
as the governor of Tennessee, who like
our d. ID. Hill seems to have an inordi-
nate fondness for the crooked, is on his
way to the iron region preceded by ten
companies of Tennessee militia to restore
'order.n The sympathy of working peo-
ple in New York must be with the min
ers who are told, as girls are in Troy,
that in order to pursue their calling they
must wear stripes.
We do not believe in idle convicts. In
this state, at least they need not be SO as
long as the highways from one end of the
State to the other are marked by cloud
of dust in summer and bed of mud
through quite the rest of the year. II
Hill were not the chief of the prison ring
he would have supplemented the recon-
mendations concerning country roads in
his annual message with suggestions as
to the employment of convicts thereon.
The same manner of employment is as
good for Tennessee as for New York.
Whenever poor roads are found there is
gI1fie need of low-priced labor. Every
road in the country mightin time be mac
adamized were convicts employed on
them, and at the same time the collar
girl in Troy and the miner in Tennessee
be encouraged to pursue an honest liveli-
hood.-TrOy Telegram.

ABANDONED FARMS.

Wherever the statistics of abandoned
farms are made the subject of impartial
investigation, the results are usually
meagre in comparison with the clamOr
which is raised over agricultural deca-
dence. The figures which have been col
lected, with great care and at cOnsidera-
BILE expense, by the New Jersey Bureau
of Statistics, are no exception to the
rule. The total number of farms re-
ported as abandoned in the entire state
is 3l3, but this is less than nine-tenths of
per cent. of the whole number Of farms
in the state, and the acreage represented
by them is less than / per cent of the
total improved farm lands in the state.
FOur-fifths of the townships report no
abandoned farms at alb Many of the
farms reported as abandoned. moreover,
are not entirely deserted, but are used
for purposes other than cultivation.
Reasons are given for the abandonment
of 256 farms, and it is instructive to no
tice that only ID are represented as being
abandoned because of mortgages, and
only 0 because of taxation, while 210
farms are reported as abandoned because
of wOrn-out soil, poor location or similar
cause, and death, ignorance or poor
management is assigned as the cause of
abandonment in 26 instances. There is
nothing in these statistics which gives
support to the calamity orators, nor
to the Alliance theorists, nor to the free
trade newspapers which attribute all re-
verses to the tariff. The proportion of
abandoned farms is small, and the rea-
sons are perfectly Ineligible and with
out Significance, save as they show that
thrift and good judgment are essential in
farming as in any other industry
