The sentiment against convict lease
systems, or other systems of convict EN-.
ployment under which prison labor comes
into contact with honest labor, is spread
ing and growing stronger throughout the
south. Three bills have recently been in.
PRODUCED in the Virginia legislature with
a view to reforming the penitentiary
laws. One bill provides that convict
laborers shall be removed from the CAPT
tol squares in Richmond, another that the
factories in the penitentiary shall not be
enlarged, and third that goods manu-
featured by convicts under contract, OF
for the state, shall be marked convict
made for the information of purchasers
the object being to discourage the sale of
such goods.

history of Europe, secret and public, for
twenty-five years and more, all stored

Turning of the Pension rida.

The amount that will be appropriated
for pensions for the next fiscal year is
S150,000,000 This is about $50, 0O0, 900 less
than it was thought would be required.
When the figures were made up in the
pension bureau it was found that great
many of those who draw the largest pen
sions have died within the year, and the
death rate in this class of pensioners is
by far the heaviest because their disa-
bilities are the greatest.
The decline of the pension burden will
help the ways and means committee to
solve the problem of making the revenues
meet the expenses of the government I'M
der the proposed new revenue measures
The pension burden will now steadily
decrease unless congress makes
new class of pensioners. . There
are pension bills pending that would add
greatly to the pension burden, and there
are good many congressman ready to
support them with the hope of increasing
their popularity with the soldier element
in their respective districts. If other pen
sion legislation can be prevented for
few years the pension burden will be

The Secretary of the Interior will also
push vigorously his policy of cutting of
all fraudulent pensions. 1t is safe to say,
from developments recently made, that
many thousands of dollars in pensions are
paid annually to those who are not en-
titled to them. The republicans are
making vigorous efforts to put stop to
the investigation of pension frauds be-
cause they do not want it to appear that
they were careless in the granting of pen
sions while they were in power. They
will not be able, however, to prevent the
investigation, because the people are
anxious that the pension burden shall be
brought within the lowest possible limits,
consistent with an honest and conscien-
tious administration of the pension
bureau

City councils that are disposed to rush
into making laws to govern street rail
ways and to protect the lives and limbs
of pedestrians would do well to profit by
Baltimore's experience in that kind of
misunderstanding Last October the
Baltimore council passed a mandatory
ordinance requiring street cars to be pro-
vided with tenders. The companies paid
little or no attention to it. The other day
company was brought before the court
for violating the ordinance. 1.-THE law is
not worth the paper it is written on"
said the court and the district attorney.
and the case was dismissed. The ordi-
nance had ordered tenders on the cars,
but had failed to say what constituted a
lender. Had company tied a plank or
shingle to the front end Of car and
called it fender, the letter of the law
would have been complied vita. Mean
while, the number Of street car accidents
resulting fatally has grown almost to the

ter.

The Telephone Patents.

On the last day of this month, as al
ready stated in our news columns, the
last patent on the essential parts of the
Bell telephone will expire, and telephone
instruments, which it has heretofore
been impossible to buy, will be bought
and sold like any other commodity. 1t
has been claimed by experts that the in
struments which are now rented at the
rate of $50 a year can be made and sold
for $40, with good profit to the maker.
If that is true, telephone instruments
that are really superior to those now in
use may be shortly offered for sale for
$12 to Sl5.
The expiration oflthe patent will proba-
bly, not relieve the mass of telephone sub
scribers from the high charges of the
Bell company for some time yet, for the
reason that the company has control of
established systems in the cities, and is
in position to overthrow competition by
any other company wherever it may crop
out. Nevertheless, the privilege of own
ing their own phones, which individuals
win enjoy after Feb. /, will result in a
considerable cutting into the revenues OF
the Bell company. The business man
who wishes telephone connection be
tween his residence and his Office will
have a private line put up as soon as he
can do so at a cost no greater than the
amount of rental he has to pay for a sin.
gle instrument each year. In Savannah
there are business men who maintain
three telephones, one at the office, one at
the residence, and one at the mill. II
private lines can be equipped for Sl2 SO per
instrument, and $40 per mile for wire, il
is very evident that it would be
economy for the person who wishes three
or more places connected for his own con.
venience to make the connection himself,
even if it was necessary to retain com
munication with the public exchange with
one instrument.
The smaller towns and villages will be
benefited sooner than the cities by the
making free of the patented devices. In
small places opposition to the monopoly
can be more easily organized and con-
trolled besides, in many towns and vii
lagos the Bell company has never made
any effort TO establish itself, for the rea-
son that the total of profit is too small.

From Clones.

Ed. Regtster-Qwing to the extreme
ly disagreeable weather we have been
having since the last week in January,
most people out here have been con-
fined pretty nearly all the time to the
house.
There has been hut little outdoor
work done throughout this section of
country.
The unusually open, warm weather.
which characterized the part of winter,
caused the buds Of the fruit trees to
| swell to that extent. that the recent
cold snap has killed at least ninety
five per cent Of the peaches, and per-
haps fully twenty-five per cent of the
apples. 1t does appear hard that we
cannot have one good yield of fruit,
but is quite probable that we have as
much Of this worlds good things as we
deserve; if we were to receive in pro-
portion to our gratitude, sure we should
not expect much.
Hard times is the general cry out
here as well as elsewhere. But now
that Congress has exhausted so much
valuable energy over the Wilson bill,
it is to be hoped that, in consequence
of the anticipated good that is to fol-
low its passage, times will shortly loom
away up:
They tell me (and of course believe
all hear) that truly golden era is
soon to follow.
On Monday last a trip was made to
Goodwater and vicinity, and while
there, stopped over night with my old
friend, Jasper Anderson, Esq. Mr.. A.
has an orderly well-behaved family,
and is now in first-class circum stances.

was principal of the Arcadia school
last year, is now attending school at
Steelyille, Mo.
While at Goodwater spent few
minutes with your illustrious CORES

health, and is confined to his bed.

Our ..boss" will be back next Friday,
and the .'devil" will resume his station.
In reviewing the events of the last two
weeks, the s.devil" cannot say, our
yoke has been easy, and our burden
light. This little dip into the trials of
q newspaper man, has mellowed our
feelings for country editors. We find
that there is a vast difference between
promise and performance-hope and
fruition. Those promised loads of
wood-so much needed during the last
cold snap-have not come to time.
Those potatoes, apples and turkeys,
reserved especially for the REGISTER
man, where, Oh! where were they?
We have, since childhood, envied the
Editor of a country paper. We have
read notices, occasionally, about the
Editor receiving fine basket of fruit,
q water melon, and other good things,
too numerous to mention. While
reading these notices we wished that
we could be such a man. If we could
attain such a position, we felt certain
that all good things would flow to us.
as the waters to the sea. Our ideas
have undergone a great change. Ex-
perience has taught US scepticlsm on
this subject. Here we have been toll
ing early and late, on this paper for
two weeks--lost our dignity enough to
hint-but not one single gift, not even
a mullen stalk, has fallen to our portion.
The next time we see a notice in the
paper, telling how the Editor received
such and such fine present, we will
have a true conception of the whole
business. We will know that it was
the only one in a year, and his blowing
of trumpets, will be held at their true
value. View murmur gently, "What
a miserable old fraud and humbug you
are!' You wish the world to believe
that this is an ever day occurrence,
when you know it comes as Christmas
comes" We will never be charmed
by this kind of music again. We are
glad to make our bow, and sink into the
obscurity of printers ''devil," to
ponder over the harmless egotism of
the country Editor. when he parades
his gifts.

Still In The Senate.

A vast deal OF interest and attention
now centers in the senate. The tariff
bill is in the hands of committee. be-
ing looked over for presentation to the
body as whole. But the senate may
as we'll understand now that the coun-
try is suspicious. and not altogether
without cause. There is apprehension
lest the bill shall come to public view
minus arms and legs, shorn of its best
provisions, robbed of Its most popul ar
features.
The people are In no humor to be-
triaed with or disappointed. They
are satisfied with the Wilson tariff bill
as it passed the house, and are par
ticularly proud of its long free list and
OF ths income tax. And yet here is
Senator Voorhees, sending out millions
of circulars and making preparations
for an exha 1stive inquiry into ques-
tions which hsve already been exhaust
cd by time and patience. The people
are not waiting for a display of cru
dition by the senators. They don't
want speeches and they are not will
ing to let the golden weeks go by I'M
employed while senators are interview
ing manufacturers.
The people want a vote. and they
want it quickly and squarely. The
senate cannot popuiarize ilself any
more rapidly than by reporting the
tariff bill early next week and passing
it. But, unfortunately, the senate
doesn't know how to be popular.
