CONVICT LABOR IN ILLINOIS.

The Illinois Legislature at the ap-
preaching session will be called upon
to wrestle with the subject Of convict
labor, to provide ways and means for
the employment OF convicts in the two
State prisons without bringing them
into competition with outside labor.
1t will be difficult and delicate task.
Representatives of rural constituencies
will oppose any change in existing
methods, no matter how strongly it may
be urged upon them that existing
methods are not only violation of the
statute but defiance of the State Con-
stitution. There is deep-seated pre-
JUDGE among these not only against
plans of work which may increase the
cost OF maintaining the prisons but also
against the idea of bringing the con-
victS out Of their cells and reverting to
the old chain gang.
The question, however, must be met.
In the cities and towns Of the State
there is demand that the law shall be
enforced and that convicts shall cease
contract labor. Yet, they cannot re-
main idle. That would be too heavy a
burden upon the taxpayers, and there
are sanitary and moral objections to it
which put it out of the question.
Roadmaking, it is suggested, viii
probably prove to be the best, easiest
and cheapest solution Of the question.
That Illinois is soon to enter upon o
thorough and systematic construction
of permanent stone highways is prac-
ticalIy settled. At this work convict
labor can be proftably employed for
years to come. This is not saying that
all OF the Illinois convicts will be en-
ployed at roadmaking. Some of them
can doubtless be employed in other
lines which will not bring them into
competition with honest labor and at the
same time serve useful public pur-
pose. But the majority can find steady
employment in roadbuilding, and their
employment in such work may be made
the means Of q large increase Of pros
perity to the people Of the State.
THE Fourteenth Street political Free
booter in its frenzy to find material
to BLACKBOARD the REGISTER dirties its
hands and clothes and fills its nose and
lungs with black dust by delving into
the files of the REGISTER which it keeps
with tender care in its cockloft to pub
lish some criticisms from the REGISTER
of two years ago on Gen. ST GLARS
attitude regarding the coal mining bill,
and also the Generals fiery response.
1t was not the first time the REGISTER
has freely criticised the wisdom and
judgement Of its party friends and it
will not be the last. But that does not
mean a severance of party or personal
friendship and the splenetic Intelligence
er'S resurrection OF an unimportant pas
sage between the REGISTER and Gen.
ST. CLAIR is highly amusing to the
REGISTER and must be equally so to the
General.

HOW RECIPROCITY WORKS.

Canada is EXPERIENCING some Of the dsad-
vantages arising from her political relations
with fTee-trade nation. The reciprocity
clause Of the McKin ley act set the Canadian
Tories at work in the same direction and in
spired negotiations with the British and the
Spanish West Indies and South American
countries which have not resulted success
fully. 1t happened that on tile day when I'M
der our reciprocity treaty with Spain closer
commercial relations with Cuba and Porto
Rico were entered into, the British CONNER
cial treaty with Spain expired by Limitation
and was not renewed. The British West
Indies and British Guiana have entered into
reciprocal arrangements with the United
States, and the new tariffs ia force in those
colonies give the United States the most of
their trade. These colonies, like South
American countries, prefer the larger mar
ket OF the United States to any Canada can
offer Another blow at Canadian trade was
the refusal of the Trade Congress In London
to give Canada the preferential treatment
in the home market that was hoped for.
The situation of Canada is In one sense Pc
culiar. She is prevented by her relations to
Great Britain from making commercial
treaties that the home Government does not
approve Of, and yet shs gets no trade pref
erence in British markets. A good many
Canadians are beginning 10 look upon such
political relation as unnatural.

SHORT AND HOT,

Chairman Meyers of the executive COM
mittee OF the Republican State Central Com
mlttee has requested the several county
committees throughout the State to make
necessary preparations for meetings In as
many towns as possible on the evening of
September 3. This VIII leave but little
more than two months for the hurrab
work OF the campaign. Among other slim.
uiating devices is a joint debate on the
tariff question between III. H. Estee on the
Republican size and Stephen NJ. White on
the Democratic side. Mr.. White has good
voice, and will doubtless do as well as any,
body in the way Of proclaiming the new
Democratic doctrine that protection to
American labor Is unconstitutional. Mr..
Estee is an expert in tariff matters and az
experienced debater. The committee should
now try to match General Barnes against
some Democrat who thinks he knows
something about the tariff. 1t is a little

THE ELEVATOR CASE,

The history of the case Of Smith VS..
Whittier, which was given In yesterdays
CALL, is not only interesting to lay readers.
but will often be quoted hereafter in the
courts. 1t Teefirms the old doctrine that
larger damages may be deereed for personal
injuries than There is any precedent for
awarding Tor involuntary homicide: In other
words, that part may be greater than the
whole. Ii is pretty well settled in some
States by actual statute, in others by gen.
eral practice. that, in ordinary cases, the
damages which railroad company may be
sentenced to pay for causing death in an
accident are limited to 5000; but in this
case Whittier, Fuller e. On. were required
TO pay TO the man who WAS crippled by the
fall Of their elevator a sum of 100000.
which. with interest, was swelled to S3S. SO8
Ia this State jury Is free to award any
sum as damages for involuntary homicide
But juries are guided by the practice OF
other States, as, in fact. it is impossible TO
set pecuniary value on human life, and it
is not likely that if Mr. Smith had been
killed by the fall Of the elevator his heirs
would have collected SIS. 1903 out OF Whittier,
-EpILf & Co.
1t is also settled that the owner of an ele-
yator IS responsible In damages for injuries
which may be caused by its fan. He is
placed On the footing Of common carrier.
though he receives no remuneration for the
use of his vehicle. The law assumes that he
derives benefit from its use by strangers and
that this is equivalent to consideration.
In view Of the universal use of elevators in
the tall buildings which are going up all
round this is an important ruling Of law. In
the nature of things some of these elevators
will be getting out of order; IL is well that their
owners should understand that accidents
are al their peril. The law Will assume that

a POINT Nor WELL TAKEN.

Under the caption Of "a Neglected
Point" an Eastern free-trade paper saws:
The only plausible excuse for the in
creased taxation on imports imposed by the
tariff OF 1890 is that IL was intended TO ad-
vance the general average of wages in the
protected enterprises" This is a narrow
view TO take of the purpose of the present
tariff. The advocates of this tariff did not
have an advance in the general average of
wages in the protected industries especially
in view. Under the old tariff the United
States imported many millions of dollars
worth of goods that might have been manu-.
featured in this country. Wooden mills
were idle in New England while large
amounts of wooden goods were being i'm
ported. The principal object of the present
tariff was to enable our manufacturers 10
do certain work that had been done abroad
without reducing the standard OF American
labor. That object has been attained. Our
wooden mills are doing much more work
than formerly and wages have not been
reduced. On the contrary, there has been
slight increase in the general average of
wages, not IN the projected Industries only,
out on the average in ali the industries. The
tariff acts directly upon the protected in
dustries, but the so-csled unprotected in
dustries receive equal benefit from it.
