WASHINGTON, Nov. Minister
Thurston is not likely to receive his
passports. although it was said at the
state department yesterday morning
that there was abundant ground for
such action. We're it in any other
country, or-in this country under any
other circumstances, his passports
would be issued Immediately. 1t is
claimed that his letter is breach Of
diplomacy and is simply sufficient
to warrant the government in
Immediately severing relations
with the Hawaiian minister.
Such action would be taken
but for the reason that the American
people might not think il fair play
and that the right of any man to talk
and give his side of the controversy
is always conceded, and to force Mr..
Thurston to leave the country would
be considered by the people as a
disposition not to allow the other side
a hearing. The department chooses
TO consider the publication as state
ment by one, Mr.. Thurston. vitality

BAD FIGURING.

The following bad figuring is from
the Pine Bluff Press-Eagle. "The
penitentiary was turned over to the
State yesterday. There are 75O con-
victs in the penitentiary, 348 of whom
have been leased to different parties
at periods ranging from eight months
to two years at rates that will yield
the state over $4,000 month. The
cost of food, clothing, medical care
and guarding involves an expenditure
of about 100000 per year, and if all
the conyicts can be leased at the rate
that now obtains, the state will real
ize a handsome profit from the invest
ment."
Now, the new law as to penitentiary
convicts expressly says The State
shall. under all circumstances, feed,
clothe, guard and give medical atten-
ton 10 all convicts. We understand
that Ethe penitentiary commissioners
were offered 100000, gross, per an
mum, for all the convicts. AS the
Press-Eagle says it will cost this sum
to maintain them, according to the
new law we can't see where any
profit is to come to the state. If the
offer of this sum was made for 348
convlcts (Which we think is not the
case) as might be inferred from our
contemporary, still the cost would
amount to near $4,000 per year to
maintain them, if it cost 100000 to
keep 75O year. This would give a
net profit of $4,000 year, instead
of $4,000, as given by the Press
| Eagle.
