On general principles we are in full
accord with Methodistic principles and
doctrines, and we heartily agree with
the action taken by the late conference
at Chippeway Fails on Sunday work.
4 dispatch from that city, on last Mon
day says:
1T was expected that the West
Wisconsin Methodist Episcopal con-
ference would be i'll sympathy with the
various religious agencies of this cOun
try, and that Il resolution fav0r!ng the
Sunday closing of the WorlI'S fair
would be passed, but it WAS surprise
IT, most people when, in such rcsolu
ton, the conference said this morning
that 1t was against any and all amuSe
ments, or anything that might be
termed labor on the Sabbath day,
such as church and Sunday picnicS:
thu travelling on the cars of the bishop
and elders on the Sabbath except in
case OF extreme necessity, mail service
on sunday and many similar things
that To the average nan to-day seem
necessities"
There is no more sense Or need for
making tie army Of postal clerks, route
agents and other helpers OF the mail
service work on Sunday than there
Is to call up your blacksmith and re-
,:uirc him TO shoe your horse on Sun
day morning before you can go to
church. We talk and preach to try to

On Tuesday evening, last week the

Atlanta, Georgia, had rally, for
which extensive preparations had been
made and prominent speakers invit-

The president Of the club opened the
meeting with carefully prepared
speech, in which, anon. other things.
he said:
But upon you. you gentlemen OF the
Democratic party OF the South, rests
an obligation TO Democracy as sacred
as gratitude. as sacrifice, as patriotism
can make an obligation. When this
nation was torne b. internecine strife
when the fields and the stores. and ev-

hatred and bigotry were III full riot OF

the Democratic party of that time.
Judge it when put To the uttermoSt,
examine its platform during the Civil
war. when the great Democratic lead
ers of the North caught no popular
breeze in the announcement of their
principles, but encountered the de-
nunciations and yituPerations which
bigotry only can originate. The Dem

YEAR, and, unterticd by the thunderings
from pulpitS or attacS from the press,
reiterated with undiminiShed fervor

beef that the war should cease and

! The Duluth News shows much Or

of the following from the Milwaukee
News, producing it for the third or
fourth time:
The West Superior paper speak of
that cSty as the first city in the state"
1t was the first anc almost only city
in the state to turn up with bank fail
ures, when the stringency in the mon
ey market occurred Last winter.
The D"luth News displayes a lack of
segacity in thus calling up the misfor-
tunes OF Duluth. Ii is true that be-
cause the name Of Dullth man was
connected with Superior bank, the
latter institution became embarrassed,
but the embarrassment was fieeting-
very. Within sixty days the bank had
increased its capital greatly and start
ed doing business with more cash in
its vaults than all the banks Of Duluth
contained. The Duluth failure which
was the cause of the Superior embar-
assment, was complete smash, and

as little prospects of getting their

! proud of the opportunity which
through a bank suspension, made clear
to the world the fact that nothing
could interfere with her credit and re-
sources. Of all the failures in the

gency last winter there was but one

BAD PRISON MANAGEMENT.
Convict Labor Leased for Nominal Sums by
Manufacturers.

Convict Labor Leased for Nominal Sums by
Manufacturers.
ST. PAUL, March 25.-The House Committee
investigating the State prison management
made very voluminous report to-day. 1t is in
three parts, one giving the history Of the con-
tract convict labor system. the second de-
failing the purchase of binding twine ma
chinery for prison use, and the third discussing
the alleged compulsory resignation Of Warden
j. }. Randall, who died this morning. The
history of the contract system goes back ten
years, describes the various contracts, ex-
plains the workings Of the system and gives
some inside workings of the companies secur-
ing contracts. 1t states that by letting out con-
vict labor at q low figure, and then paying out
Dig prices for work to the companies employing
SAID convicts, the State was caused big ex-
pense where little or none should have been
incurred. The committee finds that in this
way the State paid 100000 more than it re.
ce1ved from the contractors who had secured
the contract labor The report gives copies OF
letters of the manufacturing companies en-
ploying convict labor, in which they speak of
getting such labor for a merely nominal price,"
and describe how they have arranged matters
to prevent the possibility of any other securing
the convict labor.
In the discussion of the binding twine matter
crooked methods are alleged against those
securing the machinery for the penitentiary.
AS to the removal Of Warden Randall, the CON-
mittee believes it was brought about at the in
stance OF the convict-employing manufacturers
who, instead of the warden, wanted TO make
appointments
