TO ABOLISH PRISON GOODS.

Should Great Britain prohibit the i'm
portauon OF prison made goods she Will
lead the way in reform that should be
effected in all countries IL is claimed
that Germany exports more Of this class Of
products than any other nation, and as
they bear no distinguishing mark, are sold
in competition with the work OF free
labor The effect of this competition is
a reduction Of wages, and for the benefit
from all markets.
The United States is especially cursed
with the products OF convict labor. Not
only are things imported from other coun-
tries TO Elut our markets and cheaper prices,
hul each state las is p.ISua yards filled
with factories in which convicts are en-

Unless working people make more de-
termiued effort TO abolish prison labor in
such products as compete with their work
they must conuune TO suffer from its ef

PRISON MADE GOODS.

They Crowd English Markets and
Overflow Into Our Country.
The British government is taking great
interest in the question nofprisonmade goods,
and has instructed her diplomatic rcpresen-
tatives abroad to gather all information
bearing on the subject possible in the Coun-
try to which they are accredited.
Germany is said to lead all countries
in the production OF this class of goods,
which are finding their way into English
markets and are coming into competition
with home manufactures to tie lattcrS
disadvantage.
As there are no distinguishing marks on
these convict-m made goods, il is roXt TO i'm
possible to segrcGate them upon Importation
from legitimate goods of standard manufaC-
turers.
The question OF priSon-made goods is
one Of the most difficult the United States
customs officers have to deal with. It
il deemed probable that many goods OF
this class are annually imported into this
country from Germany and elsewhere.
These goods being made at less cost OF
labor, are also sod cheaper, and their
character being undcteClable from lack
Of prison marks, the prejudice that nat
uraily exists against these goods is not
aroused, and they force legitimate goods
to the wall.
They have so crowded the Engls n mar
ket that Great Britain is seriously cOnsiG-
ering prohibiting their importation, ard for
that purpose Is gathering information as to
the production of prison-made goods the
world over, so as to act intel'igently and
forcibly if the results justify drastic meas
ureS.

SENATOR HILL'SLETTER.

The attempt of Senator Hill To array
the Democratic party of New York on the
side of ccrruptionistS is the trick of a
politician that should fail of its object
IL is generally understood that Demo-
cratic administrations, although liberal
on the liquor question, are clean and free
from Objectionable methods when not
controlled by political pirates For years
past through the influence of Tammany
New York city has been governed and
robbed 10y an INSCRIPTIONS element, aud
Senator Hin would again place that eie-
ment in power by appealing 10 the SYM
pathieS oC Democrats throughout the State.
When enforced the excise law must
necessarily be unpopular with the conviv-
iaIy inclined, and ii will naturally arouse
violent opposition among liquor dealers
who are prevented from making money on
sunday, bat the liquor question does not
belong TO politics and should not be dealt
with from a party standpoint.
Now that the government OF New York
city is in clean hands, its people Will hardly
follow the advice of Senator Hill They
have mad enough OF Tammany rule or there
would not have been such a municipal up
heavaI at the last election. The strict en-
forcement Of the law is something new
for the law-breaking classes, but Unless
those in power make a radical change of
policy the buns and the crims will
be compelled to submit, and the general

SALT BRINE" DIDN'T WORK.
Story of German Baker, COiOred
Veterinary aud neud Horse.

Story of "a German Baker, COiOred
Veterinary aud neu6 Horse.
An excited German baker rushed into
the Second precinct station Thursday night
and wanted to know of station Keeper
James what lie could do with a man that
told him of a remedy for his sick horse
which killed the animal
According to the bakers tale the horse,
which lie had purchased some time ago at
a good round sL,r, had the day before be-
come affected with something resembling
collie and the owner went out to find some
remedy for the sick equine.
The first person he met, an old Colored
man, had an antidote for the malady that
was "sho' to cure" and the baker paid
him for the valuable recipe, which was
to give the animal a little brine.
Use cured hull herds of horses wild dat
stuff durn' de wah, the darkey ex-
planned, and the baker made a run for
his stable, after having procured about
a quart OF salt fish brine.
1t was hard matter to make the
horse swallow the stuff, but with per-
severance and patience the brine W as
finally forced into the ANIMALS throat.
The next morning, however, the baker,
with wrath on his brow, and tear lin
gerlng about his cheek, rushed madly into
the police station ana declared be mad
been hoodooed and cheated.
"Vat can / DO NIT dot black man vot
dell me of eiffing mine horse salt brine?"
he yelled dot man should die"
He was told that it was not the other
mans fault his horse had died, but his
own, having given 1t the brine himself.
II know vot l do" shouted the baker,
Il go und get the safety uf cruelty TO
animals after him; de sun unner gun.
Send me de deaf horse wagon vile 1 deal

And he rushed out.

JUSTICE BISGRAM's DECISION.

The decision rendered by Justice Bingham

the people OF Washington. who have been

terests against the trolley line
As we have before said. it was not a
question OF the convenience of the people

Prof. Martin T. Morris, now one of the
Justices OF the Court Of Appeals. in ad-
dressing a class Of law students a few years
ago, spoke of the "shyster'' lawyer as
"the most criminal Of the criminal classes"
And vet he abounds nUmcrously His

gagged in disreputable work

character or OF no character at all He
is often a drunkard and Ioafer.
he could not exist in England or in any
country where the traditions OF the bar
are respected why is he allowed TO pre-
vail here-hcre in Washington. where the
bearers Of the greatest names and the
wearers Of the highest honors OF the pro-
fession are TO be found?
why do not our judges drive him from
their courts? Why does our Bar Associa-
tion sit supinely in its collective chair aud
allow him to carry on his disreputable
practice?
1t is on this man that the very poor have
TO depend in their day OF travail They
generally get the worst Of it.
2 Is it not time then that we should have
public defender as well as a public prose
cutor? One is as necessary for the welfare
OF society as the other
Judge Morris is on record as strongly
Iavoring the creation Of such an office,
and other gentlemen OF the bench no
doubt agree with him.
/ VIII the Bar Association act in thematter?
The appointment of a good lawyer to
defend the poor Will do much oward Kidding
Ns OF the ''shyster" lawyer. who Will
then find his occupation gone, or at least
limited in scope.

posed that a committee be appointed to

ask that the street committee TO whom
their previous petition had been referred,

IongreSsman-elect Charles L. Henry, of
Anderson, Ind, is in the city for the pur-

Mr. Henry is a man of about the aver

cTs of conservation are marvellous whpn
he chooses to use them, but he is gcner

BRING ONE OF THEM HERE.

1t is understood that the Navy De-
partment is somewhat puzzled as TO what TO
do with the old war monitors Leligh and
AJAX, now at Norfolk.
One proposition is to tow them into deep
water and let Admiral Bunce's s ship attack
them as a hostile fleet. IN behalf Of this
proposition il iSurgCd that il would be il the
interest OF naval development, and would
add at slight expense much valuable in
formation as to the effect of heavy gun
fire upon turret ships.
Be that as il may, there is a better pur
pose 10 which these old vessels can be put.
Aslong rs our navy and merchant marine are
manned by foreig ners, no opportunity
should he lost to teach the youth of the land
the science of seamanship; and, therefore,,
the monitors should be given to the naval
mitiamen for drill purposes.
At the next session of Congress an effort
viii probably be made to establish nauti-
cal school in Washington as part OF the
public school system. With the naval au-
thonues strongly in favor of it, there is
reason to believe the movement Will be sue
cesSful.
1t would be good thing, therefore, to
have one OF these ships brought TO the
Washington navy yard, or at least to some
point near the city, with view to its fu.
ture use as a drill ship. In the meantime
it would be an object Of interest to every
visitor 10 the National Capital.
If the citizens should demonstrate their
interest IN the matter the Department
would probably comply with their wishes.
