FAD MEN AND GOOD ROADS.

The national department of agricul-
 ture has been making a study of the employment of convicts in connection with road building and 1t comes to the conclusion that their employment in several States has been justified from the economical and the moral stand point. This is especially so in North Carolina whose legislature in 1889 passed a law providing for the employment of convicts in this work 'in whatever county desired it." Professor Holmes, secretary of the State Road associa- ton, reports that this law has been a
 potent factor in inducing counties to tax themselves for the improvement of their roads. The result has been alto gether favorable to the system, both in efficiency and economy, and in the health of the convicts. The average cost of keeping convicts in the iails of eighty counties is 30 cents a day
 whereas the cost per day per convict, including finding, clothing, medical at- tendance and guarding averages but "A cents day. Certain Inducements in shortening terms of those who do their work faithfully and well have the good effect of inducing the convlcts to work as we'll as hired laborers, and in many instances they are solely under the su- pervison of a foreman and are not guarded. And yet among the many thus employed during the past year not one has made any attempt to escape
 Many good citizens who seek the public good have noticed that this out-of-doo1 employment is as beneficial to the morals of the convicts as it is profitable to the counties. Nor does it "displacs honest labor" because the work or
 roads had mot been done at alp unti
 this system was introduced There art many also who believe that "the pub.

MoHE KOIYINa.

The Cornell crew that demolished the hope of Yale the other day evidently wasn't exhausted by that feat, for yes- terday 1t left It's nearest competitor about twelve lengths behind. "The farmers" certainly do row we'll and If intercollegiate rowing is hereafter to be treated like prize-fighting and other sports Yale must row Cornell out be- fore she can have the proudest position on the water. But if Yale and Harvard are going to continue to play together aristocratically regardless of the rest of the boys that will be another story, and, we fear, rather dull one too The extent to which athletics" have prevailed in our universities is we'll il- frustrated in the discussion of the pres- ent situation. The most general and popular idea seems to be that a big school like Yale cannot afford to refuse to make a business of tackling all com CTS and living or dying in the hope of becoming the undisputed champion on land and water. It is queer predica- ment, and results from some ideas which have perhaps received too careless and hospitable treatment in the past It is evident that the time has come when Yale must either play less or play more.

4 SONOROUS PHRASE.

The gifted author of the proclama- tion of the majority of the Board of Finance has not yet let himself be known. Meanwhile the wreath of laurel and the plaudits of the popu- lace await him. Meanwhile, also, his winged words continue to fly back and forth through appreciative minds, even as doth the latest Kipling phrase, "A rag, bone, and a hank of hair" Who that is open to such things can avoid the frequent recurrence in his thought of that strong and sonorous arrangement of words, "the vengeance of partisan prophecy" Who can avoid contemplating it with ever-growing de- light? And who can avoid wanting to know who made that arrangement? It sounds some like Grover Cleveland. but he has not been here lately. It also has in it reminder of Professor Han nibal, etc., Silliman, but if the Pro- lessor had stumbled onto such a gem he would not have given it away. He
 would have made good use of it to in- crease the sale of his sanitary speci- mems of saccharlne sweetness" We did not notice anything like 1t in any of the deliverances of the Yale grad
 uates of this year or even in the inn pressive last words of the graduates of the Hillhouse High School. It is the only and the best thing of its kind, and the one who made it has no right to deprive us all of the joy we should feel in hailing new light.
 But full of admiration as we are for "the vengeance of partisan prophecy" much as it appeals to our sense of the sonorous, and grand and strong as we know it's meaning must be, yet we have a humiliating confession to make. We
 can feel and tell in feeble way how it sounds as it is fitly spoken, but we cannot tell just what 1t means. It must
 mean much, or it wouldn't be in a pIOCidlIldllUH WulCIl SpGdhS OL Dlluu incantations'' and political poses"
 But has prophecy. even when partisan, any vengeance in it2 It may be in spired by a desire for vengeance, but
 would not the vengeance itself natur- ally wait for its turn until the fulfil
 ment of the prophecy? If it would what is the exact and splendid mean ing of ''the vengeance of partisan prophecy" Will it's author explain,
 even If he has to do 1t anonymously, and if he will not will some other word | juggler oblige? A phrase that cannot be put out of the mind should have it's meaning as clear and as large as it's
 sound. If, however, it is found that this phrase cannot have both meaning and sound to us we shall continue to
 cherish 1t for It's sound.
