Goyernmen. Pen,t,nt,ar,es.

The attorney general presents a detailed and
interesting statement of the important work
fiscal year. The ownership and management
by the government OF penftentiaries for the
confinement OF the convicted in United States
courts of violations OF federal laws, which for
recommendation. has at last, to o slight ex-
tent. been realized by the utilization of
I f4s aUssa4H as a Unitea States sssP peni to GpT.
This is certainly o movement In the right
direction; but 1t ought to be at once supple
mented by the rebuilding or extensive enlarge
ment of this Impoverished prison, and the con-
struction CT 81 least one more, to be located in
Leavenworth penitentiary is SO limited that
the expense OF Its maintenance, calculated at
q per capita rate upon the number of prisoners
nomical an exhibit as IL would II
It were larger and better adapted
WINGED that economy humanity. and O proper
sense OF responsibility and duty toward those
whom we punish for violations Of federal law
dictate that the federal government should
have the entire control and management OF the
penitentiaries where convicted violators are
confined.
It appears that since the transfer of the Fort
Leavenworth military prison to its new uses
the work previously done by prisoners confined
there, and for which expensive machinery has
work consisted of the manufacture Of articles
for army use, now dome elsewhere. On ell
grounds it Is exceedingly desirable that the
convicts confined in this penitentiary be al
lowed to resume work Of thfs description.
The New Salary System.
1t is most gratifying to note the satisfactory
results that have followed the Inauguration Of
the new system provided for by the act Of
May %, 1896. under which certain federal off,
cials are compensated by salaries instead of
fees. The new plan was put In operation on
the first day OF July, 1895. and already the
great economy IL enforces, its prevention OF
abuses and Its tendency to q better enforce
ment OF the laws are strikingly apparent. De-
tailed evidence Of the usefulness Of this long
delayed but now happily-accomplished re-
form will be found clearly set forth in the at
torney generals report.

much less than that Of the last and preceding

In discussing the present tariff law
President Cleveland says: 81 be-
lieve our present tariff law, If allowed
a fair opportunity, will, in the near
future, yield a revenue which, with
reasonably economical expenditures,
will overcome all deficiencies" Much
has been said of late about our made
quate revenue laws. The truth is the
Wilson law has never had a fair trial.
II is well known that when trade is
good imports are high and the Gus
tom revenue swells. When there is a
depression imports fall and the GUS
tom declines. As between
the Mckinley tariff of 1890 and the
Wilson tariff of 1894, there would be
no great difference under normal con-
ditions in revenue yielding effect.
The former yielded revenue enough
simply because it was in force at the
time when imports were large. The
latter has failed to yield enough be-
cause during the last three years trade
has been depressed and imports have
been small.
