A Convict's Letter.

In East Greenwich there is woman
jailkeeper, whose father and grand
father kept the jail before her. So in
secure was the old place that some years
ago it was no unusual thing for the pris-
oners to remark that they could escape,
but they were treated SO well they didn't
care to. To one of the prisoners who
spoke of the matter of escape Mrs. Smith
replied that she had asked for an appro-
priation, whereupon the prisoner called
for pen and ink and wrote, to the gov
ernor of the state a characteristic letter,
which is kept among the archives. 1t is
headed east Greenwich JAIL" and con-
tinues. If you don't send some one
down here pretty quick and patch up
this place for Mrs. Smith as she wants it.

An Ungodly Grin.

A Newburg minister was preaching
the other day. A young girl annoyed
him by grinning. He said: "There is in
this audience young lady-no, a young
girl-whose head resembles an empty
basket. She has done nothing since she
entered the church but grin. Iwant her
to know that all of life does not consist
OF having a fine bonnet" Of course the
girl shouldn't have grinned; but, all the
same, If she has any big brothers they
might properly put in Is minutes in
demonstrating with that preacher Fresh
ness IN the pulpit should be discouraged.

THE FUNDED DEBT QUESTION.

Governor Markham, in his biennial
message, expresses surprise that the
people should have defeated the PROPOSE
ton to refund the State debt. The
Governor is evidently impressed with
the thought that it would have been wise
to have adopted the proposition.
However, when he comes to consider
the debt disposal question he uncon-
sciously hits upon precisely the reason
for the action of the people. He says,
and truly, that it is within the power of
the Legislature to extend the debt. since
to do so is not creating" a debt. The
people did not desire the debt repudiated.
nor did they contemplate a tax to secure
its repayment. AS the Legislature has the
power to pay, it follows that it may extend
the debt or provide for its payment in
series of years.
The Governor says, except S251. 900. the
bonds representing the debt are held bv
the State for the benefit of its school and
university funds, land inasmuch as the
item Of interest Which the State pays upon
the bonds is simply an lieu Of a like amount
r0hich aDould haze to be raised 6g tdrotion.
did not the bonds exist, there can be no
substantial objection to refunding them
upon that ground. 1t is, in fact
a debt created by ourselves and due to
ourselves"
That is it exactly. The people knew
the debt could be continued indefinitely.
as it should be, and that to do so at six
per cent. interest would be a more COM
Portable method of contributing to the
educational funds than to issue new
bonds, as proposed by the Refunding Act,
at four per cent, to be followed by an
annual tax levy Of two cents to supply
the school funds with the difference be-
tween the two rates.
In short, the people defeated the Act
because they did not wish to drag the
schools into the tax levy for two cents,
when continuing the debt owed to them
selves by themselves is safer and less
complicated method of raising the money,
besides putting the question of the school
tax outside of the political pale
1t was because the people knew from
the debate had in the press upon the ques-
ton, that to refund as proposed would
cost very considerable sum, and open
the door for the enemies of free schools
to assail their support, under system of
direct taxation, that the Act was de-
feated. The debt may be, and probably
finitely, as the Governor suggests. and
which he terms refunding, but is not
necessarily.

NEW YORK, the Empire State, has a
road commission of five members, and
proposes to spend millions of dollars in a
brief term of years in making New York
highways models of excellence. New
York's example will be most beneficial.
1t is fact that breaches powerful SER
mon to US, that the prosperity Of the best
parts OF England, France and Germany
dates from the period when good roads
were built. As one great writer has put
it: 1.-THE road is the material sign or
symbol of any age or people, for the road
is the creation of man and the type of civ
ilized society"

Hon. HENRY BACON, Chairman of the
House Committee on Coinage, a leading
New York Democrat, tells his party
plainly that it cannot afford TO repeal the
Act taxing State bank issues. His con-
clusions are that the country is not pre-
pared and ready to-day to meet or cope
with the problems which would arise
from the repeal of the State bank circula-
ton; that the return to the system of
regulating the issue of such currency by
state laws can never be safely or success
| fully made; that control over the issuing
of bank circulation is a constitutional
function of the Federal Government, and
the exercise of such control in the pres
ent situation of the country is necessary
and presents no insurmountable diff
Guilty.

DR.. E. o. SHAKESPEARE has done a
public service by publishing an exhaust
i've paper on the subject of National con-
troll of quarantine. He is a thorough
student of the subject, and his showing
that this control is feasible, without great
expense, and that it will not wrench
American institutions, will go far toward
supporting the measure that is to be sub
mitted to Congress by House committee
favoring National quarantine.

THE MOST VALUABLE AND RE-
LIABLE

The Reconnaissance legislative re-
ports will be found to be at once re-
liable, concise and complete. They will
present the business of the Legislature
III a manner to make clear all that is
done. 1t is not the Office of such reports
to give color to proceedings, nor yet to
be so detailed and extended as to repel
the reader. The RECORD UNION will
sible purpose, and that is, to inform the
reading public.
These reports will be supplemented by
concise, reliable and intelligent accounts
of committee work and outside activities
with the sole purpose of giving the peo-
pie clear insight into the business
related to legislation, that both the legis-
lators and their constituencies may be
brought into closer relations in the dis
charge of the business of the State.
The RECORD UNIONS general depart
ments will continue as excellent as here
tofore; enjoying unequaled news facil-
tiles, all the valuable news of the dav
will be found in its columns, together
with reviews of current events and
topics, treated from the standpoint of fair
ness and just criticism. Agricultural,
religious, mechanical, literary, dramatic
and general miscellany and full local
news, market reports, judicial proceed
ings, State news, ETC., will be presented
in departments, edited with care and by
experienced workers. The RECORD
UNION and the WEEKLY UNION will
thusIbe found to be the best papers of the
State to possess and to send abroad.

PROFESSOR ARTHUR T. HADLEY has a
paper in the Forum in which he claims
that there has been distinct gain and ad-

twenty years; that practices, deals and

close of the war, when there was chaotic
condition of business morality, are not
now possible. So that after all we have
much to be thankful for.
