THE STATE PRISON.

The affairs Of the state Prison will be shown
by the report of its Warden, to be in excellent
condition. In the sixteen years prior to 1886,
the State appropriated S29., 2S7.2l for the sup
port of the Prison, exclusive of salaries of It's
officers. Since that time it has received no ap-
preparation from the State save for its pay roll.
In all other respects the Prison has been self
supporting. 1t begins the present year free
from debt, and with balance of $3.50 90 in
its favor. The introduction of reiormatory
methods into the administration Of its affairs
has been attended with gratifying results.
Everything that can be done towards reclaim
ins men from the ways of crime and making
them respectable members of society, will
merit the cordial approval and cooperation OF
