CONVICT EMPLOYMENT AND
ROADS

Constitution of New York takes effect.
Under its provisions competition be-
tween convict and free labor in prisons
of the State must cease, except as to ar
it, or any political division thereof or
any public institution owned or man
aged or controlled by the State or any
of its political divisions.
New York has 3, 100 convicts in three
prisons. For 1 400 of these, says Super
intendent Lathrop, employment can be
found about the prisons, and for two
years 300 more can be employed on the
new prison for the insane now under
construction. This leaves 1,3OO who will
be unemployed.
The Mail and Express" says that the
question now greatly agitating the
New York public is, What shall we do
with this surplus convict labor?'' Its
suggestion is that as the State is very
certain to adopt a State road system this
winter, these 1,300 convicts should be
| employed in the construction Of the
main arteries of the new system. There
will be five months in the year when
out door work cannot be done on roads,
but the men could in that time be en-
ployed in breaking rock for road metal
1t is probably with some such idea in
ui NJ
prepared a road metal production bill,
and have for that purpose adopted pre-
cisely the California law for the estab-
lishment and operation of the rock
crushing plant at Folsom.
1t is noteworthy that at the same time
DR.. Seward Webb, prominent man in
the Vermont Legislature, has projected
plan for a system Of State or main
thoroughfares to traverse the three
longitudinal valleys Of that State, and
to form the trunk lines for the whole
system Of State, county and district
roads. This bill will in all probability
pass this winter.

feeling and activity in almost every
State east of the Mississippi River. says
the Mail and Express" which adds
that the subject Of improved, permanent
and systematized highways is a fore
most one now in the East.
1t appeals to every man. It involves
the ultimate saving of millions of dol
lars in time to the farmer who hauls
his produce to market, in wear and tear
on vehicles and horseflesh, in the in
creased value of land, and in incentive
to settlement by men whose residence
| must accrue to the substantial advan-
tage of community. The State which
| has the best system of public highways
throughout its length and breadth is the
State which will be found in the fore,
other conditions being equal. The i'm
portance of this subject is demonstrated
| by the lively interest now taken in 1t by
| the Federal Government.

The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1896-02-06

affairs Henry Watterson declared that
partisanship was the curse of this repub-
lie, and it WAS free-milling declaration,
running high in truth. The old party
candidates will face both ways, as hereto
fore. and the politicians Of the west will
claim them for silver, and the politicians
of the east will declare they are for gold;
many people will be deceived by their
leaders, others will deceive themselves aud
some will deliberately stultify their rec
ords, and the silver ticket will go down to
defeat, il anything may be learned from
the lessons of the past.
But for all this, there will be many pa
triots who will, at possible sacrifice Of
great political preferment, sever party ties
and vote their convictions upon the most
vital issue before the people. Their votes
will not elect president, but they will
show that n considerable number OF
American citizens still give first allegiance
to their country And it is quite possible
that some will vote the old ticket, believing
that the way to silver's salvation lies
within party lines but the record of the
past contains little to justify such "a
belief.
AT All events the politicians of the west
will be placed in an extremely uncom-
forta BILE box and will be kept busy ex-
planning why the box is not at all uncom-

1t Is therefore, under present laws. M
POSSIBLE for the government or anyone
else to FORCE into circulation the small
coins in such quantities as TO DESTROY the
PRESENT STANDARD OF VALUE.
"ForciEg" is something that has
always been frowned upon, but the
way silver is forced on an unwilling
public, according to this school book
author, is absolutely painful. The
books treatment of money all the
way through is choice goldbugism.
1t could scarcely be made stronger
1t Is not fit to be tolerated and the
people should demand its abolish
ment from our schools. We expect
the silver press of Idaho to make war
on it at once. We have to watch
every channel now. They are push
ing their ideas in the most unex-
pected ways, and if they can not ac-
complish anything with us, they will
slide their teachings under our noses
and attempt to inoculate our children
with them so as to mould the rising
generation to their purposes.
Admitting the gold men could be
right, what business has treatise on
a financial issue IN our schools? any
more than disquisition on one side
or the other of the tariff difference.
The great questions which split the
people politically IRE to be studied
and adopted pro or con after leaving
the school room for a mans place in
the struggling world.
The strangest thing about this book
