WE had hoped to see the Legislature
go further than it did in supplying hard
labor for convicts Breaking stone in
the Jail confines is all right, but we be-
lieve that the convicts Of the three jails
should be put at work on a system Of
drainage for our state; and it is not too
late to act in this matter yet. It was an
important part of the platform of the
of the last campaign that Sussex county
should bedreined; but no measure with this
object in view has been acted upon, and
we now suggest that a law be passed
which will set the inmates of our jails at
work cutting drainage canals to tide
water-under supervision of an engineer.
This will give recompense to our state
for maintaining convicts.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c, Mar. 80, 1891.
Secretary Foster has exploded another
Democratic 'Roorback." It was stated
that the Treasury Department was greatly
embarrassed to know where the money
was to come from to redeem the $50, 900. :
900 Of AZ per cent bonds that will ma
ture next September This statement
caused the new Secretary to smile when
his attention was called to it. The hold
ers Of these bonds need not wait until
next September, as the Treasury Depart
ment is ready now to redeem them as
fast as presented, paying the full interest
to date of maturity That's how embar-
assed it is. The embarrassment is all in
the minds Of the Democratic newspaper
writer's who are compelled to furnish
sensational matter at all times, even if it
has to be entirely manufactured, as this
was.
The return of the special train which
carried the remains of the late Senator
Hearst and the accompanying Congress
sional committee to San Francisco has
been the signal for a revival of all the
gossip Of several years past regarding
extravagant congressional funeral.
There is no doubt that these funerals
have cost more money than they should
have cost, nor is there any doubt that
reform is needed, but the man who can
believe that they have been the pleasure
junkets that some imaginative writers |
have described must rate the Congress-
men who have attended them as a grade |
lower than brutes, and I, being reason
ably familiar with the characters of the /
Senators and Representatives, cannot do
it
There was a rumor here a day or two
ago that the Canadian government, under
from Great Britain, had re-
luested Attorney-General Miller to agree
% the withdrawal of the Sayward case
.Behring Seal from the cognizance of the
Supreme Court, in view Of the negotia-
ion for arbitration but it is denied at the
department. Of Justice. It has not been
ully decided what country will act as ]
he arbitrator, but it is believed that ]
switzerland will be chosen. The Pres
DENTS annual proclamation of warning +
D illegal sealers may contain sur .
rise for some people.
