A PosToFFI0E ROBBERY.
About Forty or Fifty Dollars Worth oil
stamps Taken.

ABOUT EorIy or tuty DOilarh worm Oh
stamps Taken.
The postoffice at Littleton was broken
into last Monday night and robbed Of
about $40 or $50 worth Of stamps The
door was pred open and the stamp
drawer broken into by the thieves. Mrs.
Mollie Conley, the postmaster, thinks no
money was taken, but estimates the
value OF the stamps as given above.
The same night the drug store OF B.
J. Terrell at Littleton was entered from
the rear by persons who climbed
through the transom over the rear door.
and robbed of large quantity Of mer-
chandise. Mr. Terrell has missed from
his stock four watches, two. revolvers,
half dozen raZors, and large number
Of knives and other articles.
There seems TO be no clue to the
burglars, but several suspicious look
ing characters were seen abont the
town on Monday evening, aud Ut Is
supposed that before leaving the town
they helped themselves to whatever
they could get their hands on.
Mr.. Terrell was in the city last night
and reported the burglary to the police,
and gave a description Of the men who
were suspected. Mrs. Conley has also
notified the government antiquities Of
the robbery of the postoffice. The police
are now in search of information con-
corning the burglars, and il they are
caught they will not be dealt gently
with by Uncle Sans officials.

CONVICT LABOR.
THE MATTER OF A CONTRACT TO CONE Up
TODAY.
Mr.. PattOns Proposition for the Employment
Of the Men in the Psniisndary TO
be Considered.

Mr.. Patton's proposition for the en-
ployment OF convict labor will come
before the Board of Penitentiary Di-
rectors at their meeting at Moundsville
to-day. Mr.. Patton, as was stated in
the REGISTER at the time Of the last
meeting of the Board, is manufacturer
Of hollow ware, such as kettles, pots,
ETC., and operates large numbers OF
convicts at the penitentiaries in Co.
lumbus and Jacksonville, where prac-
tically all of the articles Of this kind
used in the country are turned out.
His business is increasing rapidly, and
he is in search of a new location where
he can employ enough men to keep his
trade supplied.
Several difficulties in the way or his
locating at Moundsville were discussed
at the last meeting Of the board and &C
tion In the matter was deferred till the
present meeting in order that some OF
them might be overcome. In the first
place the board will not be able TO sup
ply Mr.. Patton with all the men he
would want. When a former contract
was entered into with other parties it
was provided that a specified number OF
convicts would be employed and paid
for, with the privilege Of using twenty
more, so that twenty men must be kept
in readiness to supply this demand
should it be made. There are now
about a hundred men idle, but
when this reserve Of twenty men Is
taken out. there are but eighty left,
while Mr. Patton does not want to be-
gin work with fewer than 100 men and
would like to have more. A contract
for 24O men will expire next fall, and ii
is believed that Mr.. Patton would con-
tract for them all. If be could get
along with fewer than 100 at the start,
with large increase later, then con-
tract might be made with them.
Another difficulty in the way is that
a new building would be required with
in the walls Of the penitentiary, and
the Board has no funds with which TO
build it. The building desired would
be about 6Ox2OO feet. one story high,
built Of brick aad sheet iron. Mr.. Pat
ton offered to advance the money for
the building, provided satisfactory
terms,could be agreed upon for repay
ing him.
These matters will be considered to-
day and II satisfactory arrangements
can be made contract will be entered
into. The Board feels that it would be
better for the convictS and also for the
State to keep the men at work and as
practically all the hollow ware in the
country is made by convict labor and
does not enter into competition with free
labor, it feels that this would be de-
sirable contract and is anxious to come
to terms with Mr.. Patton.
II the convlcts at present unemploy-
ed are put to work the institution will
sooR be made self-supporting. Without
any reduction in the quantity and quail
ity of food the expense OF feeding the
prisoners has been reduced consider
ably in the last eight months and the
cost per man for maintaining the insti-
tuition is now about 3s cents day.
The general condition Of the peniten-
tiary is good and the board, while not
counting it. are not afraid Of any invest
igation.

to Democratic principles.
With all there is at stake, there must
be in the treatment of this article some
ground upon which we are all willing to
stand, where toleration and conciliation
may be allowed to solve problem with
out demanding the entire surrender OF
fixed conscientious convictions.
[ ought not to prolong this letter. If
what / have written is unwelcome. | beg
you to believe in my good intentions.
In the conclusions OF the conference
touching the numerous items which will
be considered, the people are not afraid
that their interests Will be neglected.
They know that the general result so far
as they are concerned will be as to home
necessaries and home comforts more
easily within their reach and to insure
better and surer compensation to those
who toll. We all know that tariff COW
ering all the interests and conditions of a
country as vast as ours must OF necessity
be largely the result of honorable ADJUST
ment and compromise.
Iexpect very few of us can say when
your measure is perfected that all its
features are entirely as we would prefer.
Y 0u know how much l deprecated the
incorporation in the proposed bin of the
income tax feature. In matters OF this
kind, however, which do not violate q
fixed and recognized Democratic doc
trine, we are willing to defer to the judg
ment of majority of our Democratic
brethren.
/ think there is an agreement that is a
party duty, that is more palpably ap-
parent than we realize, that the business
of our country timidly stands and watches
for the results of our efforts to perfect
tariff legislation, that a quick and certain
return of prosperity waits upon wise
adjustment, and that confding people
still trusts in our hands their prosperity
as their we'll being. The Democracy Of
the land pleads most earnestly for the
speedy completion of the tariff legisla-
ton which their representatives have
undertaken, but they demand no less
earnestly that stress of necessity shall
tempt their trust to the abandonment of
Democratic principles. Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
