MONDAY EVENING. MAY Is, 1898.

A REPUBLICAN newspaper says the
employment of convicts in the work OF
repairing roads would degrade the pris-
oners by exposing them to the curiosity
of the public" If this be so, it is Labor
and not crime. that degrades But the
same paper is continually prating about
the dignity of labor" Murderers,
outragers, incendiaries, robbers, and all
other sorts of rascals, cannot be COM
PEELED to repair roads for the use OF
honest and reputable people, for the
reason that such work would degrade
them!! The same paper also says the
whipping post in Delaware ''degrades'
those who submit themselves, OF their
own accord, to its stripes. The man
who has so little self-respect as to de-
serve stripes, can not be degraded by
receiving them.

THE Philadelphia Record, alluding
to the low but natural condition OF the
negroes in that city, says it may be that
in a little time the mechanical trades,
now closed to them, "will be as free to
the negro as to the white race" So
much the worse for the latter, for there
is not enough demand for their labor
now, and if the supply be increased by
the addition of that of the emancipated
slaves. wages will necessarily decrease.
But northern laborers set the negroes
free, and chickens always come home
to roost.

LEAVING ENTIRELY out of view the
character of the verdict in the recent
murder case here, even those most ia
vorably disposed to the prisoner can
not exactly comprehend the wisdom OF
a system that has put the taxpayers OF
this city to the expense of supporting
for two years, and of giving him two
trials, at one of which the jury was
brou hit from an interior county, man
who had chosen to shoot another man,
and which. in addition, has put the tax
PAYERS of the State, including those OF
this city, to the further expense OF sup
porting him eight years longer. When
people become wiser the jury system
will be abolished.
