Its Actual Operations Small, but Its
Efficiency We'll Maintained.
The report OF the secretary of war ex-
hibits satisfactory conditions in the several
branches OF the public service intrusted
to his charge. The limit of our military
force as fixed by law is constantly and
readily maintained. The present discipline
and morals of our army are excellent, and
marked progress and efficiency are apparent
throughout its entire organization. With
the exception OF delicate duties in the sup
preston of slight Indian disturbances along

CARING FOR FEDERAL PRISONERS.
Extension of the Pcnitcntinry Mt Fort
LenyenwOrth IL Urged.

The attorney general presents us q detailed
and interesting statement of the important
work done under his supervision during the
last fiscal year. The ownership and manage
ment by the government of the penitentiariee
for tho confinement of those convicted in
United States courts of violations of federal
laws, which for many years has been sub
ject OF executive recommendation, has at
last to a slight extent, been realized by the
utilization of the abandoned military prison
at Fort Leavenworth as a United States peni-
tentiary. This is certainly a move in the
right direction, but 1t ought to be at once
supplemented by the rebuilding or the ex-
tensive enlargement of this improvised prison
and the construction of at least one more,
to be located in the southern states. The
capacity of the Leavenworth penitentiary is
so limited that the expense of ito main
tenance, calculated at a per capita rate
upon the number of prisoners it can accom-
mOdate, does not make economical an eX-
hibit an it would if it were larger and bet
ter adapted to prison purposes. But | am
thoroughly convinced that economy and
humanity and a proper sense of responsible
ity and duty toward those whom we puniNl
for violations of federal law dictate that the
federal government should have entire con-
trol and management of tie penitentilries
where convicted violators are confined. II
appears that since the transfer of the Fort
LeavenwOrth military prison to its new uses
the work previously dcne by prisoners con-
fined there. and for which expensive ma
chinery has been provided has been discon-
tinued. This work consisted Of the manu-
facture of articles fer army use, now dom
elsewhere. On all grounds II iS exceedingly
desirable that the conyicts confined in this
be allowed to resume work OF
this description.
1t is most gratifying to note the sat
isfactory results that have followed the in |
auguration Of the system provided for by the |
act of May 2S, 1896. under which certain !
federal officials are compensated by salaries |

sidered great TO keep the children In school, and
that only the best teachers be employed.
We note with pleasure the organization OF
