Democratic State convention 1890: We
demand the free and unrestricted coin
age of silver upon the basis existing
prior to 1873.
Free coinage of silver and gold VIII

Of its people. 1t will change the bust
ness of the country from Legitimate

calculated to supply employment Thus
plenty would be produced i'm all de-

money with which to buy and there

Road Ork by COnyiCtS in HAWAII.
There is no doubt whatever of the
practical value of employing convict
labor on the public highways-wher-
ever it has been tried il has proved
highly successful.
In the Hawaiian Islands, fer in
stance, the road work is done entirely
by the cOnvicts, and the result is tina.
the little republic away off in the Pa
cific Ocean can boast of far better rOa6S
than the United States.
During over a years stay in the isl
ands had an excellent opportunity to
watch the working of this system, and
In several hundred miles of wheeling
never came across an unreliable road.
The Hawaiian convictS themselves
told me they preferred road work 10
any form Of punishment, as it gave
them Il chance to be out in the free air
and occasionally see their friends.
From the Honolulu prison, gangs are
constantly being sent out to the other
Islands to open up new roads and keep
the old ones in good repair. The ma
jority of the prisoners taken in the re-
cent revolution are employed in this
way. No trouble has ever been caused
by the prisoners during the many years
the system has been in operation.
In Various South American countries
also the convict system has proved
highly successful.

of the owners Of the silver mines were
driven into bankruptcy and ruin, and
thousands of laborers in the mines were
deprived of work and their families
brought to suffering and want. Al,
this was done and no reason given for

The Stopping of Fast Trains.

When railway rOadbedS have been
made rs nearly perfect rs possible.
and. as far rs practicable. lcveled, and
when the best types of locomotives and
cars have been devised. how fast will
steam be able to carry us? An answer
to this question. based on scientific
examination of the conditions involved,
is furnished by Mr.. Theodore y. Ely,
an authority on facts relating 10 rail-
ways. One hundred miles an hour
is about the limit of speed suggested
by him.
Another very important question
growing out of the first is: Within
what distance can Il train running 100
miles an hour. or but little less than
80 feet in n second. he stopped? The
reply is that under the most favorable
circumstances distance Of nearly half
mile would be required.
A train running 4 mile a minute can
be stopped, it is estimated. within n dis
lance of 900 feet BY adding only two
thirds to the speed. therefore. the dis
lance required for bringing the train
to a Standstill would be increased al
most three times. 1t is evident that
when we are whirled across the coun-
try at the rate of hundred miles an
hour. "a clear track" will become Il far
more important thing even than 1t is
today.
