Road Building Would Prevent COMPETE
ton with Free Labor.
In a good many of the states the in
mates OF penitentiaries are already en-
p:oyed, to a greater or less extent, in
improving the highways, and every
where the verdict is that good ROADS
have been secured where they would
not have been built for a century to
come if the taxpayers had been obliged
to initiate the work and bear the whole
cost of it. Curiously enough, this most
excellent scheme has made most prog
ress in the communities where it is con-
Hected with a prison system that is
strongly and justly reprehended. In
those states of the south where they
have what is known as the ''chain gang
system" the idea of putting the prison
ers at work on the highways suggested
itself naturally. The convicts were
kept in open-air camps with guards fur
nished by the state, and nothing was
more natural than to engage them in
road repair in the vicinity.
Where convicts are housed in great
buildings of stone and iron, and where
they have been put to labor at mechan-
zeal employment. the transition is not
so simple and natural. Still it can be
made 20 n certain extent, and that with
out destroying or impeding the work of
prison reform. In South Carolina there
are now said to be about 600 convicts @
work no the highways, and the value of
what they have done has produced such
ON effect upon the people of the rural
sections of that particularly pro-
eressiye state that county commission
ers everywhere are stirring up the sub
ject of systematic road construction.
Tennessee has law that permits it. anC
New York has authorized a similar cx-
pertinent. 1t seems to us that the New
York law might very proftably be
adopted in Minnesota at the next ses-
sion of the legislature. This contem.
plates the employment of only portion
of the states convicts, to be selected by
the prison warden, probably with the
assistance and approval of the state
board of charities and corrections, who
should be put TO work on road improve
ment under the direction of experts in
road construction engaged by the state
1t is unquestionably true that the
work of reforming the criminal, of
which we must never lose sight by ex-
alting the commercial motive, is entire
IL consistent with utilizing convict
labor on the highways. There is a verr
large percentage of prison population
for when this would be the most de.
sIrable form of labor. BY judicious
selection of men, and by engaging them
in small gangs upon the highways. ii
IS probable that more wholesome in
flueTpce might be brought to bear upon
them even than in well-conducted
prison itself. At any rate. here is m
occupation which does not compete
with honest labor. which is available
for q great number of convicts TO
whom mechanical pursuits are not
naturally adapted. and whose results
would be in the highest degree bene-
fetal 20 the state. We believe that
further experiment along this line
should be made ut once. and that our
own community should attempt it--St.

M'KINLEYs PRETTY PLOT.
His Way of Standing In with the Trust
Bosses.

His Way OF Standing In with the Trust
Bosses.
In one of those delicious condolences
which he vouchsafes the public, Boss
Hanna exposes the plan by which his
political mortgage hopes to bind the
country to the chariot wheels of his COLI
quering syndicate.
MIR. Hanna says that the farmer vote
is lost to the republican party, but that
the labor vote can be captured, and
Maj. Mckinley will devote his energies
to capturing it by convincing labor
that he is it's friend.
The Hanna description of the way III
which the major will win labor to him
is exceedingly entertaining. He says
that the silver issue is dead and the
paramount issue is that of the trusts
The major is, therefore, determined to
convince the people that he is the enc
my of the trusts, and mark well how he
will do it.
In the first place, he will assume "a
dignifed attitude, if antagonized'--
note the if-"towards all trusts and
inonopoIies." His inaugural speech
will breathe spirit of adherence for
the Capitalization of such power as is
to-day possessed by the trusts, and
then we will expect the understanding
of the people to do the rest for the three
years following"
Then" said Mr.. Hanna, when the
public mind is attuned to the idea that
Mckinley is the enemy of the trusts we
shall have a tariff measure introduced"
That, of course, will win the battle four
wears from now
There is nothing easier than attuning
the public mind to the idea that McKin-
ley is the enemy of the trusts by assuIn-
ing a dignified attitude towards them.
IF antagonized," and breathing spirit
of adherence to them in a message
that is to say, if the people are all fools
We can imagine the acclaim of the peo-
pie at the spectacle of Mckinley thrust
ing his hand in the breast of his coat
with Napoleonic grandeur and assuming
q dignified attitude towards the trusts
who had dared to antagonize him.
The trusts won't mind the remark
able efforts of Mckinley, as outlined by
Boss Hanna, to convince the people that
he is against monopoly. The trouble
will be with the people. ~ dignified
attitude and "a spirit of abhOrrence
breathing through message are such
slight materials for the popular under
standing to work on for three years that
the public mind may not be properly at
tuned when the tariff bill is sprung.
The people may get tired of wind
and conclude to smash the tariff bill
afad the trusts. too, and compel Maj.
Mckinley 70 assume a very undjgnified
attitude in the middle of the road.-St.

Advantage of Large Herds

Farmers who have large herds OF
cattle are most successful because the
cattle are consumers of much that Is
grown on the farm, and. therefore,
assist in creating a home market
Every pound of food that can be utilized
on the farm to produce something Is
so much saved in the cost of transPorta-
tion, hauling, etc. 1t Is the conversion
of substances into articles that the
market demands that enables farmers
to secure profits. Corn oats and hay
are sold to advantage when used for
producing beef, butter and milk.

AND nov IT s ARMOUR
His Elevators Are Not What II Is Said
They Should Be.

Ell lie }0NOulO DS.
Chicago, May 13.--All the elevators IN
the Armour system have been declared
irregular by the directors Of the Board
of Trade. The directors acted after
they had heard the charges Of
unmercanti1e conduct preferred against
Armour & Co. by the various
members Of the board. This conduct
consisted of the issuing of large NUM-
Der Of warehouse receipts about May /,
which were 50 dated as to compel the
owner to handle their wheat short Of the
10 days usually accorded in such cases.
BY this action, it is alleged, Armour & Co.
profited because they were enabled to
buy ia this wheat when it was thrown on
the market. andsat the same time they re-
tanned it in their elevators. Complaints
about the receipts were made some time
ago and it was declared at the hearing
that Armour & Co. offered to take up the
receipts and make satisfactory arrange
ments with the holders. In some cases
this was DONE but the others, who did not
fare so well, made complaint to the di-
doctors Of the board Of trade and the ac-
ton of today was the result. The ele-
yatofs affected are seven In number with
a combined capacity of 12,050,00 bushels.
Neither President Baker nor Secretary
Stone, Of the Board of Trade, would say
ANYTHING about the matter, besides CIV
ing the bare result of the meeting of the
directors. It is limited that further ac-
ton may be taken against individuals Of
the Armour firm.
