A Suggestion to Agriculturists.

Bulgarian peasants have given up
grain growing to great extent and
are raising roses. Altar of roses is
now worth from $40 to Sl5 for eight
teaspoonfuls. 1t seems that Bull
garian farmers could give points
about changing their products to
some agriculturists of the eastern
part of the United States, who con-
tinue to produce small quantities of
wheat In competition with the west,
instead OF paying more attention to
dairying and to the production of ar
ticles for which all the cities furnish
q profitable market. = Rochester

TIE PRISON ASSOCIATION PROTESTS AGAINST
THE APPOINTMENT or srPERIN-
TENDENT BY THE GOVERNOR.
Albany March 30-The Prison Association Of the
State Of New York has memoralized the Legis-
lature. protesting against the bill which provides
that the Governor shall appoint the superintendent
OF the Flmlra Reformatory instead Of the Board OF
Managers. The memorial says In part:
The effect OF the act will he precisely the con-
trary to that which 1t aims to accomplish II will
increase instead OF diminishing. the power Of the
general superintendent. and will invest him with
authority that IS independent both In ia source
and in the accountability for It's exercise
1T must never be forgotten that Brockway has
been the directing and inspiring mind Of this Re
forI!laory from its inception He Is the author OF
the system known the world as the Emira
system-a system universally admitted TO be based
on scientific principles. and. in Its benehcent re-
suits b far In advance of any other scheme OF
prison discipline ever devised in this country. We
insist that the distinguished services which Brock
way has rendered the State. and the exalted
position he holds In the public estimation. entitled
him. in a special degree. 10 every safeguard ana
protection that common Justice throws around an
accused person; insist that he ia entitled 10 a
judicial trial before Il competent tribunal, with
ttnrle opportunitv for defence: and We insist that
the passage this bill. closing his career in dis
grace and infamy. without such trial and OPP
portunty. would be an act OF most signal injustice
and inhumanity.
Governor Flower said to-day that he should take
no Immediate action upon the charges against the
Board OF Managers. filed with him yesterday.
