AsBer-stion for the LEGISLATURE.

A SugE stiOn Tor the Legisi azure.
This legislature has an opportunity 70
make for itself 2 name that would be
remembered by the people for generations.
The opportunity presents itself in cennee-
tlen with the convicts 81 the state The
people are against the present system Of
leasing tho convicts, and Il the chance
We're given them they would vote almost
unanimously 70 abolish It. But what
should Be 6one with tho cenvlcts2 That -
the question that is asked whenever il is
proposed 10 abolish the lease system. The
question is easily answered. Let the con-
victs be employed in improving the public
roads
From one end sf the stats to the other
there is a demand for better roads. The
farmers understand that there is nothing
the state could do that would contribute
more to their prosperity than to construct
good roads. The amount that good roads
would enable them to save annually is
very great With good roads the farmers
would be able to get their products to mar
ket much more cheaply and they would
save great deal in the wear and tear on
their wagons, harness and horses.
Let the legislature organize an engineer
ing and road making department and use
the convicts in improving the highways
This may not be an entirely new sugges-
tion but it is a good one.
The state gets very little return from
The convicts under the present system Of
leasing them. Whatever proCt there is
in their labor goes to the contractors,
who lease them from the state. Why
should not the state have the benefit Of
their labor?
We do not pretend to go into details of
plan for using the convicts on the roads.
1t would not be difficult, however. to out
line them.
The time is not distant when cleo
tricity will be used as the motive power
of wagons on dirt roads. 1t is apparent
that wagons propelled by electricity could
not be used to advantage on such roads
as we now have bat they could be used
with great success if the roads were put
into good condition. No time should be lost
in preparing the way for electric was-
ons. Our roadways should be ready for
them when they have been so far per-
fectod as to be available. And even IL
we should not have electric wagons good
roads would be of almost incalculable
benefit to the farmers and others.
Why should nos the road building idea
be adopted at once? The convicts now
in the pententiary are healthy and strong.
The chances are that ten years hence
the conv1cts ~ III he much inferior physi-
cally to the convicts of to-day. The rea-
sons why such is likely to be the case
are SO well understood that it is useless
to state them.
Let the Legislature take hold of this
matter at once and put it into practical
shape. There Is no use waiting until
the convict leases have expired. have the
road building plan ready when thoy do ex-
pire, so that the convicts can be put at
work on the roads Immediately.
It would, OF course, require a good deal
of thought and hard work to frame u bin
that would satisfy all the conditions of
the suggested change, but the legislature
is paid 10 weak.

= Story of civ land and Jefferson.

brewer, tells the New York Tribune the
following story: Il was IN washington
last year for a few days. and one morning

He suggested that we so TO call on the

Hard Times in Europe.

The business and Industrial depression
it is in this country. And there are no
signs of an immediate Improvement The
hard times are being felt in all parts Of
the civilized world. The people of this
country, therefore, have no special reason
to complain. They are not the only people
that are suffering.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who arrived from
Europe on Saturday, in an interview pub
lished in the New York newspapers, said:
The condition Of affairs in Europe, and
particularly in England, is deplorable. You
can hardly conceive to what extent the de-
preston has lowered values and paralyzed
business. For several years capital in
England has been a loser of money, and
the outlook does not seem to brighten.
Agricultural land has never been so low.
Within fifty miles of London it is possible
to buy land for less than within fifty miles
of New York. Lately there have been
sales as low as $50 and $50 an acre"
In this country there are signs of bet
ter times. 1t is true the farmers are suf-
fering greatly on account of the low prices
of farm products. and there cannot be any
very great revival of business until the
farmers are able to buy more freely, and
that will not be until the prices of wheat
and cotton improve. Still, the wonderful
recuperative power of this country is
showing itself in many ways, and the le-
preston is likely TO disappear sooner here
than in Europe.

What is wanted to-day in each congres-
siensl district is a big democratic vote.
The demserats have been warned that the
populists are exceedingly active and VIII
poll nearly. II not ell. 81 their votes. They
will alss have the assistance 70 very
great extent Of the republicans, who aro
very anxious to defeat the democrats.
The republicans have no particular sympa-
thy with the Pepulists. but they seldom Or
never stand by their principles when they
think a partisan advantage IS to be gained
by abandoning them. The understanding
IS that the national republican Leaders
have instructed the republicans of this
state to sraport the populist candidates
for congress. and the great majority Of
them will do So
The fact that there is an alliance be
tween the populists and republicans
should stimulate the democrats TO make
extraordinary exertions to get out a fun
vote of their party. II the democrats
turn out as they should all the demo-
cratic candidates will be elected.
The danger the democrats have to fear is
the apathy OF their voters. They cannot
be made to understand that the populists
and republicans are leaving nothing I'M
done TO elect their candidates, and that
they are likely to poll large vote in each
Of the districts. Some Of the democrats
argue that their party is sure TO have a
majority without their votes, and that
therefore, there is no use for them to take
the trouble of going to the polls. That is
dangerous argument, and it should not
be permitted to influence any voter.
We believe, of course, that Col Lester,
Of this district, will be elected by a good
majority, because the democrats have
such high regard for him that the great
majority Of them will take the time to 90
to the polls and cast their ballots for him.
STILL no one can say with any degree of
certainty that he will have a safe ma
jority. 1t is known that in some of the
counties of the district the colored voters
have been induced to organize their forces
with the view of voting for the popullst
candidate, and the number Of these col
ored voters may be greater than it Is esd
mated to be. In that event Col. Lester
might be defeated if a very considerable
number of democrats in each county
should stay away from the polls.
Democrats cannot afford TO stay away
from the polls in this or any other district
in the face Of such an active political
enemy as the populists are showing them
selves TO be. They must not only vote
themselves, but they must make special
effort to get their democratic friends to
vote.
We sincerely hope that every democrat
in this county will cast his ballot to-day.
If that hope is realized, Col Lester will he
elected by a majority larger than that
which he received two years ago. Ard he
ought to have a larger majority He has
been faithful public servant and is on
titled to an Endorsement that VIII mean
that his work in behalf of his district is
appreciated.

Or. Tying and Z nru C1on.

The Rev. DR.. benjamin Wetson, a ven
eral Episcopal clergyman of Philadelphia,
tells the New York Tribune the followinn z
anecdote of the late DR.. Stephen H Tying,
the elder, once rector OF Holy Trinity,
Philadelphia, and afterward rector of St
Georges, in this city: Before Or. Tying
came 10 this city" says DR.. Watson, he
was rector of a church at Georgetown,
now. a part of Washington City. It was
in the early days of the century when
that great statesman and orator, Henry
Clay, was in the heyday of his glory. one
Sunday evening Dr.. Tying assembled his
pulpit and proceeded to deliver a most
eloquent sermon. His hearers and he
realized simultaneously that his words
were unusually eloquent. In the midst
of an impassioned eXhortation the church
door opened and belated Christian
walked down the aisle and took a seat
1t was Henry Clay. DR.. T 'ng recognized
him. suddenly and unaccountably the
preacher became filled with a sense of his
own insigniflcance as an orator in the
presence of this eloquent man. He broke
down, and fOundered miserably through
the remainder of his sermon which he
brought TO a speedy close"

Lnat Nirht,n Firea-

It is believed that the fires in the cotton
ships last night were of incendary or
igin. The facts point to that conclusion.
That FIRE should break out in seven ships
within the space of an hour or two is
so remarkable that it is impossible to ar
rive at any other conclusion. If they were
of incendiary origin, what could have
been the motive? The fires call for the
most rigid investigation. 1t is difficult to
believe that any ono could be so depraved
as to be guilty of the crime of wantonly
destroying property. Sun, it is impossible
to avoid that belief in this instance

at this port in other years, and there
