New York has on its hands 5000 peni-
tentiary convlcts for whom 1t is trying
to md work not forbidden by law. With
the beginning of the present year there
went into effect q. constitutional proyis-
ion which forbids the making Of articles
by convict labor which come into COM
petition with similar products of free
labor. The convicts will be allowed to
make articles for prison use, but this
leaves about two-thirds of them out Of
employment
This is a very grave situation. Moth
ing moro cruel could well Be imposed on
conyicts. They feel 1t and beg for work
Men who in a state of freedom resofted
% any shift to keep from working, now
esk pIteously to be saved from the hor-
rur of prison idleness, The government
of the prison, never an easy task, be-
comes a more serious problem. The au-
tboritles do not know just how they are
going to meet it.
The competition of prison-made goods
with the products OF free labor has work
ed hardship in many branches of indus
try. This problem 10 solved by putting
an end to the competition. But the solu-
ton Of one problem creates another not
60 easy to meet. New Yrk's effort viii
be watched with interest.

The first OF January edition OF the
Rocky Mountain News, published at
Denver Colorado. Is a magnificent specl-
mon Of a great newspaper. The News Is
a good paper every day in the year, but
every short while there Is an occasion on
which 1t surpasses itself. The first of
the new year is always such an occasion.
After the manner OF the Chicago papers
It then gets out a boom edition and re-
solves itself into cyclopedia of bound
less information in regard to all that APP
pertains to the prosperity and glory OF
Colorado and the adjacent region. So 1t
was this FIRST Of January. Hence we
have before US large thlrty-two PACED
paper. filled with statistics and resumes
as TO what has been accomplished in the
various fields Of production for which
that state Is noted. during the year 1895.
some people think Of Colorado as pure
~ mining region. In fact 1t was cnll-
ed mining camp" in the late cam
palgn. And quite generally, too, 1t Is
looked upon as in the main silver
mining camp. The silver craze prevail
cd out there to such a degree Of vIo-
fence in the late campaign that 1t Is no
wonder tho average citizen made this
mistake. A mistake It certainly is to
entertain any such idea of Colorado, Tor,
as between gold and SILVER production,
Itiaa gold state. That Is to say, 1t pro-
duces oue-tuird more gold than silver,
measured In value. In other words, It
produced last year sixteen and hall
millions OF gold against about twelve
millions Of silver Therefore, u It is
anything In particular as metallic
state, It Ia a gold state, and one would
suppose should have at least fairly
divided It's vote between the "goid bugs
and "sllver beetles" on the third Of Mo-
yenber. instead of giving sevcn-clghths
Of II to tho cross and crown man.
When We consider that Colorado has
only Just como of age as Il state in the
Union the showing that It makes of pro-
qress md prosperity is remarkable. We
refer 10 It's progress in all particulars,
gaye. Of course. In politics Like Kansas
ana Nebraska, It got good start from
the Republican party and then deserted.
Judging from the superior development
of It's gold aud rs agriculture. as also Of
Ils coat and iron. It VIII md rs way back
into the fold By 1900. a state producing
three and a half million tons OF coal and
over seven and 4 half million dollars

The case of the young woman who

the judgment seat.
The case was distinctiveiy q charity

Before the war the then unnamed area
now known as Colorado was put down
on the maps as part OF the American
desert" But for it, mines It would have
been practically unsettled to-day. Mo-
body dreamed Of its possibilities In the
way OF agriculture. And yet. by the
hand of science, It has become an agrl-
cultural state Of no mean Importance.

crops more reliably than we can produce
them here In the Ohio Valley with forty

The valley of the Nile In Egypt has It's
counterparts in the valleys OF the Arkan-
sas and of the Platte,i IN Colorado. By irri-
CATION canals an all0aH soil can be made

Millions OF acres Of land are thus brought
under cultivation. and we are not sur
prlsed to read in the News that they
command from 500 70 800 per acre, ac-
oording to location. With a foundation
like this for It's prosperity the stale of
Colorado can afford to dismiss its silver
craze and return to rational political
Views. All indications point to the
likelihood that she is to be the leading
producer OF gold In this country In the

The late Editor McCullagh, of the st.

history as the inventor of the newspaper
interview. The idea struck him while
he was Washington correspondent. IT
was a good thought.
Newspaper readers liked it and public
men found 1t very convenient. Less for
NAL than a signed article, affordlng
more room ITO turn round In" there is
no better vehicle than the interview for
conveying information and thought. A
bright interviewer makes even a dull
man appear to advantage.
The good points Of the interview were
slow to be appreciated in Europe, but
the thing has taken hold there and is
well thought of. Men in every high
place abroad make use of It, though not
to the same extent as in this country.
Here the President often finds the i'm
terview just to his hand. In this case it
is very carefully prepared and as care
fully revised.
II the inventor could have received a
small fraction Of a cent royalty on every
interview he would have had money
enough to put him at the head of trust.
