THE great newspapers OF the
country and the unprejudiced and
intelligent American, possessed OF
American pluck and a realization
of our unlimited resources and our
ability to develop them, all, free
from small partisanship, recognize
and acknowledge the already re-
turning confidence and prosperity.
Farm products, stocks and bonds,
says one writer, are rising with the
thermometer. Our resources are
beyond estimate and their devel-
opment cannot be prevented even
by the calamity bowler. In the
language of President Mckinley at
the Tennessee Centennial: "What-
ever adverse conditions may tenn
porarily impede the pathway Of
our national progress, nothing can
defeat it."

Anti-COnVict Labor.

We are in receipt of a circular
from the Anti-Convict Labor Blu
reau, Frankfort, Ky, which pro-
fesses to be non-partisan and says:
"If, from a non-partisan point of
view, you are in favor of abolish
ing the present system Of employ
ing convicts in competition with
free labor, please join with us in
the agitation to abolish it."
THE BEE needs no admonition
TO make it speak its fixed con
victions on this point. Since we
have been old enough to form
opinions on any subject, It has
been our opinion that convict la
Dor should be employed only on
public roads and in other work for

Kentucky Crops.

The report of the State Commits
sioner OF Agriculture states that
the wheat crop of State is in good
condition. In Henderson county
the condition is lowest owing to
high water in the river bottoms.
The corn crop is backward, but a
good stand is reported which with
favorable weather will make a
fine crop. The outlook for oats is
much better than in 1896 and the
conditions have greatly improved
since May. Tobacco plants are
reported scarce and small and the
acreage somewhat less than IN
1896. Meadows and pastures are
in good condition. The wool crop
of 1897 is estimated at about 90 per
cent OF the clip OF 1896 and the av-
erage price is 10 cents as compared
with I2A cents, which was the
price obtained for the clip of 1896.
Live stock are la good condition.
Cattle and sheep continue in de-
mand. The outlook for fruits is

lT is singular to note the igno-
rance among newspaper men as to
mining matters. A special from
Darlington which reported a recent
meeting of coal miners appeared
In a leading daily, containing the
term 'pack" mining, for "pick
mining" and this dispatch has
been reproduced verbatim by
weekly papers in the State, and
still reads "pack" mining. The
Press Association should repeat its
old time journey through the Earl
ington coal mines and learn again
OF the "pick" and its use.

THERE are now about SIS con-
victs IN the Brushy mines prison IN
Tennessee. These convict miners
are digging coal just across our
borders and will be making coke
before many months all of which
comes in close competition with
the free labor products of Ken
lucky miners. Under the label
ing bill which passed the last
Legislature, originated and drawn
by Mr.. Jas. w. Deacon, THE

largely restricted but the evil will
exist as long as Tennessee em-
ploys her convicts in coal mines.
