The contest was long and keen, and
ultimately came down to a trial of skill be-
tween Godfrey Simmer and Harry Ross.
The efforts of both men were literally ap-
plauded by the spectators. The East End
scored again, Ross getting over 8 feet 4
inches, and beating the Southsiders The
prize was silk umbrella by Campbell 8

The 12O-yard hurdle was for silver cup

Proselyting in New England Tor al en-

I country at large a spectacle as unusual as it
is remarkable. Generally the innovations
and new isms have their origin in the land
/ Of the Purtans, and thence are oiffused

sounds rather curious to hear that the Hon.
Jerry Simpson and Mr.. Ralph Beaumont
haI been up in the rocky regions Of New

According to a knowing special CORE
spondent writing from Boston to a western
paper the farmer leaders were not imported
into New England by Senator Chandler
and his coadjutors. They are said to have
wandered that way on an enterprise of their
own, whereupon the senator and his sub
ordinates attempted TO take charge Of the
missionaries and control the direction Of
their efforts and the results thereof. But
the spry graugefg who came out of the west
had higher notions of their own value and

Utilizing Convict Lahnr.


For some years there has been quite an
animated discussion Of the problem in
volved in the purpose to which prison labor
shall be put. Continuous controversy upon
the question seems 10 have brought it no
nearer to satisfactory settlement. Every
| thing that is proposed meets With some sort
Of objection from the labor organizations
Yet none of them have ever been able TO
suggest anything even approaching solu-
ton of the problem.
When the labor leaders Object to putting
upon the MARKET articles manufactured in
state prisons they do not take into account
that the state must support these criminals,
and that their support must be derived from
the taxpayers unless the couvicts can be
made to do some sort Of work to defray the
prison expenses. Nor do the labor sgitators
seem to care. They do not consider for a
moment that in case the burden Of prison
expense fell upon the tax-paying public
many frugal and industrious working men
would be called upon to supply their quota
toward supporting those criminals. Were
they able TO offer some practical substitute
for the Objectionable prison labor it would
doubtless be received with satisfaction.
But they should let well enough alone until
they can suggest be.t'r plan.
Another thing to be thought OF is that if
these men were liberated their labor would
be upon the market in direct competition
with other labor of the same class, while in
prison their competition is confined to the
manufacture of such commodities as the
labor elements themselves have to buy,
thereby placing them within easier reach
by somewhat reducing the cost. Yet there
are two ways in which prison labor might
be utilized without leasing it and without
bringing it into any sort of competition
with legitimate skilled labor.
By working these convicts upon wearing
apparel altogether, which should subse-
quently be distributed among the deserving
poor, the cost of providing for the INDECENT
would be reduced to a minimum and the
actual expense of sustaining the convict op-
eratives could then be paid into the state
treasury by the charitable organizations in
the ratio of the benefits which they had re-
ceived.
Another good plan would be to lease the
oonvicts TO the various counties of the state
successfully for the actual cost Of their
maintenance to make good. permanent
roads. such as the ancients had, and many
of which still endure. AS no county could
afford to employ labor to do this at the cur
rent wages for such work the criminals
would be utilized without coming in compe-
tition with any established branch of in
dustry.
AT all events these suggestions may prove
worthy of some consideration.

A Sober ouaker's Little Joke.
From the PHILADELPHIA Presa

nTOHa Gtc IFtttUueIDHtu fTeSS.
There is white haired old Friend living in
Chester county whose face wears an expression
of deep sorrow that Gems craven there. Friends
who have known him for twenty five years have
the first smile to see on his broad furrowed
face. he is a wonderfully benevolent and
kindly old Quaker, especially to the colored
people, who come to him from miles around for
counsel and as iStance.
There is a shadow on the old mans life, Of
which few of his friends have any idea. 1t was
cast way back in the war times His home had
bsen station on the underground railway
and to his home one bleak night came bright
eyed, ebony skinned little runaway of about d
years. He was such a quick-witted, clipper
little chap that the kind-hearted Quaker con.

effect on tim than the whistling of the wind
through the trees. A good birch switch
would hold him in check for an hour or
two, hut his reformation would disappear with
the sting. One day tue Quaker went on a rail-
way journey and took the little colored lad with
him. On the road was a long tunnel and before
they reached it it occurred to the friend that its
terrors might be utilized In bringing about a
reformation in the black bundle Of mischief be-
side him. So he said:
Caesar, l have tried to befriend thee and Won
give only di obedience and trouble in return.
Ingratitude is a b ack sin and now l fear thee
must answer for it."
Just before they reached the tunnel he rose
and said gravely: Caesar leave thee to thy
punishment"
The train dashed into the blackuess of the
tunnel with shrek from the locomotive like
a triumphant fend, and when it emerged into
the Light Cesar was lying in heap on the floor
between the seats. They picked him up ten

The mischievous little darkey was dead.

PETERS story of simpson.

Judge PETER exhibits no taste for the decora-
tive, says the Rocky Mountain Ners. He wears
no necktie. because he has whiskers The as
pect of the senator is sad. He told, in a some
what lugubrious fashion, funny story on Mr..
Simpson, the sockless statesman.
1t seems that during the recent congressional
campaign Mr.. Simpsons opponent was Col
Hallowell, a man of fine physique and given to
wearing handsome clothes-in fact, a good deaJ
OF a swell. Joint debate was arranged be-
tween the two, and the sockless one spoke first.
He at once proceeded to comment upon his
adversary personaily-not by any means in an
Offensive manner. but, on the contrary
in the language of most glowing com
pliment. Drawing a contrast between the
colonel and himself, he tod the audience how
graceful and accomplished the former was
speaker, his own oratorical powers being of
the poorest After referring to his rivals con
spicuous war record he called the attention OF
his hearers to comparison between the in
significance Of his own appea rance and the
superb physical aspect of the colonel Finally
having paid a tribute to the colonel's massi We
intellect and social conspicuousness, himself
being simply "a common man sprung from the
people, be added lowering his voice to a con
hdential undertone:
But between you and me, when it comes to
public affairs, Col HaIlowell is an ASA -
ass--and I'm here to wipe up the floor with his
political carcass"

A Republic ans View of It.

The republicans pretend not to be dis
turbed by what democrats say of the ex-
travagance Of the last congress, but what
have they to say when leading men of their
own party declare that the appropriating Of
a thousand million dollars by the Fifty-frst
congress was an "outragep
One of the ablest men in thu Republican
party is ex-senator Henderson of Missouri.
He is great friend of Mr.. Blaine, and was
the chairman of the pan-American con-
gress. In q recent talk he declared that the
way the public money was squaudered by
the last congress was ian outrage upon the
party and the people" He said he did not
want any explanation of what was done
with the money. The fact that the zap
preparations reached 1000, 0O0,OOO is of
itself appalling"
Mr.. Henderson said that the republ can
congressman must have been influenced by
the belief that their parry was going out of
power to stay. Otherwise they would not
have sluandered the public money SO reck-
lessly.
Mr.. Henderson understands that no salts
factory explanation of the extravaganza
WHICH CudIdCteTlIou bu6 ldSJ congress
can be given, and so he says that no
explanation is desired. He believes that the
people will punish the Republican party for
squaudering the public money by withhold
ing power from it, and he is right.
Mr.. Reed, when elected speaker of the
F1fty"frst congress, said that he intended
to make that congress a business one. 1t
did good deal of business, it is true, but
not the kind Of business the people want.
The people want the balance on the right
side. The balance at the end of Reeds
business congress was on the wrong side.
Not only was the immense surplus which
was in the treasury when Gen. Harrison
was inaugurated used up, but the surplus
revenue of about 100000 900 year disap-
peared.
The republican leaders and papers are
trying to make the people believe that the
money was appropriated for legitimate OBJ
jects, but they are not meeting with sue
cess. There will soon be no money in the
treasury, and when that time comes the
people will recall the prosperous condition
of the treasury when the Cleveland admin
istration went out of power. Their verdict
will be that the republicans are unfaithful
servants and must CO.

Rather Tradesman I han a Ruler.

Resignlng the rank Of ruler for the
profits of tradesman is the extraordinary
attitude the King of Greece has as
sumed. according to a brief cable dispatch
to the MORNING NEWS Saturday last.
Empty eminence evidently has few charms
for him. Prior to giving over his scepter to
his son, the Duke of Sparta, the King is to
be for brief span the guest of the Prince
OF Wales To have such a comparative
Croesus of commerce for a guest, serving TO
remind him of his own accommodating pow
erty and distressing debts, is but one of the
many things that render the Princes
lofty station delightful and desirable In the
inverse ratio of its altitude, as mathemati>
clan might put it.
King George is one Of the numerous and
exceedingly fortunate family of the King
of Denmark. and he acquired his enormous
wealth IN lucky speculations upon the Paris
bourse. When he has had time to look
about him as the guest of the Prince of
W ales the Greoian sovereign's purp SO is to
select and secure desirable English estate
and retire from royal cares and RESPONSE
bilities, and wholly rely upon his thrifty in
Al "a AAOAlAOh IN
the Levant for the royal income necessary
to his future comfort.
Giving up the grandeur of royalty for
the comparative comfort of commerce is
rather an unusual thing to do. But it can
only be accounted for upon the hypothesis
of yielding more satisfactory return for
the care and effort and responsibility ex-
pended upon it.
In the trading company in which the
stated king is interested he is said to be the
owner Of the chief interest. That is per-
fectly proper. After entering the plebeian
precincts of trade a monarch could not
reasonably be expected to occupy the posi-
ton of an insignificant junior partner in
the firm.
But this proposed course of the king
shows that there is far more satisfaction in
the comfort and the chances of commerce
than there is of exhilaratlon in the eminence
and magnifcance of a monarch.
