AN ORNAMENT TO THE STREETS.

Handsome Electric Poles ON James
Street-Progress OF the Track.
The first electric pole of the Union Trunk
lines was set on James street just west Of
Third yesterday. It is handsomely
turned pole with arms made of wrought
iron pipe and ornamental brass brackets
into which the initials of the company are
worked. The poles win be set between the
two tracks at intervals of 125 feet, and the
wires will be strung from the ends of the
brackets. Thus there will be no guy-wires
stretched across the street to be tangled
with other wires and make cobweb of
the sky.
The track of the southern line has been
laid from the power-house down Broad
way to Yesler avenue and down South
Eleventh street to Main street. The four
cars and four dummies were yesterday
hauled up to the power-house, each one
needing six horses.

SENSE AND NONSENSE ABOUT CONVICT
LABOR

Every now and then an industrial protest
against one of the few remaining industries per-
mitted 10 convict labor in this State reminds
the public that the laws governing this subject
are still in a most unsatisfactory condition. 1t
cannot be ienied that the convict-labor con-
troversv is embarrassing and that it has several
sides each admitting OF strong supporting argu-
ments. At the same time, fair play and com
mon sense could easily supply the right kind
of a law. There is no trouble in defining the
conditiCAc that must be met The c0nvictS
must have work. To deny them employment
and useful employment, such as will occupy
their minds and hands in the production of a
tangible result, would be outrageou>ly cruel
Then, too, the prisons must be made sef-sls-
tanning. They were so before the Convict
Labor law was repealed, and a return must be
had to that necessary condition. On the other
hand, it is admitted that the products Of men
for whose sustenance only a fraction of the
expense is necessary which the living of free
workingman entails should go into competition
as little as possible with the products Of free
labor. The story told by the delegation of Troy
shirtmaxers in their conversation with Governor
Hill on Thursday is certainly impressive. They
say that 537 men, supported at an expense to
the State of only Is cents day, have been
employed in Clinton Prison in the making of
shirts and that their output in May was nearly
100000 There is 10 denying that this COM
petition, unrestrained by legal provisions as to
how it shall be put upon the market, does seri-
Gus injury to the shirt industry in Troy, but ii
! by no means follows that the framing of a
law is impossible which will enable the con-
victs to make shirts without any greater inter
| ference with the free Tabor of Troy than would
| occur if the convicts were free laborers also.
And that is just the problem which must be
solved. 1t can be solved, and would have been
long ago but for the fact that the Knights OF
Labor and kindred organizations made impos-
sble demands which political demagogues like
Governor Hill have attempted to comply with

simple terms, has been that a man once guilty

citizens, and they seem to think that they would

themselves to pay this mans expenses rather
