Driving COnVicts Mad.

The law of the state of New YOrl
practically prohibits the employment
of prisoners at any gainful or product
i've industry. The exception is tina,
'tbe state or the political divisions
| thereof not only may, but must, buy
titled to them that the prisons are
prepared to supply their requirements
| Under This provision of law the Chart
| ties Comm issioners of Kings county
have notified the various municipal de-
partments of Brooklyn of the goods
/ that the Kings county penitentiary
was prepared to supply.
| The orders theyreceived VIC re trif1iug
in amount. Since the new law went
year, the warden has been able to
furnish employment of any kind for
| but 300 out of the 700 inmates of the
| penitentiary. The others, the majority,
have been locked in their separate
cells and left to their own resources.
They were merely detained. They had
no opportunity to exercise their facul-
ties atsany work. They had no Oppor-
tunities to acquire bandicrafts that
might have fitted them to be self sup
porting citizens after their release.
They were condemned by the law to
the frigh tful combination of idleness
and solitude.
The natural results have followed.
Seven of the convicts have been Off
cially declared to be insane, and two
more are in a condition of which
similar declaration is expected. The
insane cOnvictS have been removed
from the panitentiary to an asylum.
The wonder is not that so many but
so few O. the cOnvicts have succum bed
to the app.liing ordeal to which the
legislature, at the behest of s'organized
labor" has condemned them. 1t is au
ordeal to which no man and no assO-
citation of men has right to condemn
n man. To take away mans life is
justifiable when he has forfeited it.
But to take away his reason is never
allowable. And the bereavement of
reason is the natural and almost the
Inevitable result of locking up himself
an able bodied and active-minded man
during his waking as well as his sleep
ing hours and leaving him to brood.
Even the unproductive and dreary
round of the treadmill is better than
this, which is now the legal punish
ment for crime in the state of New
York. 1t is ''cruel and unusual" an
inhuman and devilish punishment.
The insane victims of "organiZed la
Dor" in the Kings county penitentiary
make an appeal to humanity for the
repeal of the law which has condemned
them to such a fate. That appeal can
not be disreearded except to the shame
to the state.-New York Times.

Alger's Reply to the KIon-

BosToN, Nov. 6.-While in this city
today to visit his son, who is Harvard

seen in regard to the matter of the re-
quest of the merchants of Portland, Or,
and the chamber of commerce of that
city, asking his official assistance i'll

through the cooperation of the war de-

his department is waiting to get report
on the matter from Captain Ray. When
last heard from Ray was at Fort Yukon,
and was going to Dawson City. The
secretary has ordered reindeer to st.
Michaels, hoping there are stores of
supplies there. He added:
''We should have report soon. Un-
til that comes cannot do anything, as
1 will not know the true condition of af-
fairs and cannot tell just what it is best
to do.

CONGRESSMAN ELLIS ON SILVER
Says He Would Vote Against Bill For
Free Coinage by the United
states Alone.

BAKER Cry, Or, Nov 6.-Congres-
man Ellis arrived here yesterday, and
after spending the day pleasantly with
ner, on this afternoons train.
During an interview with an Oregon
ian correspondent. he was requested to
define his position on the silver ques-.
ton. In his reply he stated that in
this. as well as all other qustions con-
nected with national legislation, he is
guided solely by the last republican
platform, enunciated in st. Louis in
June, 1896.
1t was then suggested to Mr.. Ellis
that among the mass of voters there may
be many who, while staunch repub.i
cans, may not have read that platform,
Mr.. Ellis said:
''In order that there may be no doubt
as to my construction of it, you can say
for me, that if an attempt should be
made to pass bill in congress, advocat-
ing the free and unlimited coinage of
silver by the United States alone, shall
most decidedly vote against it. This is
the purpose and intent of the platform,
and shall live up to it in every partic-
ular. am frank enough to admit that
there was time when entertained diff
ferent views, but that time has passed.
Mr.. Ellis also express the opinion
that, owing to the daily increasing pros
prosperity among the people of the
United States, and the superior tact and
business ability displayed by President
Mckinley, the voters of this country
were rapidly becoming more disposed to.
leave the solution of the financial prob
lens to the present administration, and
the silver question, as a political factor,
does not occupy the important position
which it did during the last campaign.

New York RefOrmer Now Is Assistant
Secretary of the Navy.
Theodore Roosevelt, who has been APP
pointed assistant secretary Of the navy,
became character of national interest
as president of the board of commits
sioners of police of New York city. He
was appointed to this position by the
mayor, and he at once caused intense ex-
element in the city and throughout the
country by his declaration that the po-
lice force should be as active in sup
pressing vice as it was in suppressing
riots and mobs. He went to work and
found that the police captains in certain
precincts were regularly retained by
disreputables for the protection of
brothels. He secured legislative in
vestigating committee and proved his
charges, and during the trial he came
to the front as one of the foremost lead
ers in the cause of municipal reform.
He is an American of American parent
age. The Roosevelts came from Hol-
land in the middle of the seventeenth
century. He is so loyal to his country
that he may be pardoned the half-grim
and the half-whimsical pride that there
is not a drop of English blood in his
veins, His head is square, his brows
straight, his eyes clear and widely set,
and he looks the fighter that his public

was midshipman as long ago as 1850,
and served for five years on the sloop
Plymouth in the East Indies. While
with the Plymouth he engaged in sew
eral sliirmishes and one battle with the
Chinese army at Shanghai. He came
out of the Naval academy in 1856. and
his career since that time has been a
good one. He was with the frigate
Merrimac as passed midshipman, with
the East India squadron on board the
Germantown, and in 1859 was promoted
lieutenant. lie saw little of the big
rebellion. During the second year of
the civil war he was lieutenant com
mander on the Nant Gcket and partici-
rated in the attack of the ironclad feet
on the Charleston harbor defenses.
Thereafter he cruised about the West
Indies and the coast of Brazil. and as
sisted in the capture of the rebel steam
er Florida at Bahai. He was on spe-
cial service with the Wachusett, was
put in command of the captured boat
and brought her safely to Hampton
Roads. He has seen service in East
Indian waters, and since the war has
commanded many vessels. He is con-
sidered one of the shrewdest of the
old-line officers in the navy, and his
promotion to be rear admiral was the
reward of long and faithful service.
He is an old sea dog, and should his
good ship come in contact with any
thing from Japan he is expected to re-
tire with honor from the engagement.

powerful boats on duty in the Pacific
coast service.
