full or productive industry. The excep-
ton is that "the state or the political d.
visions thereof not only may but must
buy prison-made goods whenever II IS
certified to them tina: the prisons are
prepared 10 supply their requirements
Under this provision OF law the charities
commissioners OF Kings county have no.
titled the various municipal departments
of Brooklyn of the goods tina, the Kings
county peni:entiary was prepared 10
supply.
The orders they received were trifling
in amount Since the new law went into
effect. at the beginning Of the year. the
warden has been able 20 furnish en-
ployment OF any kind for but 300 out OF
the 200 inmates of the penitentiary. The
others, the majority. have been locked
in their separate cells and left % their
own resources. They were merely de-
tanned. They had no opportunity 10 ex-
ercise their faculties al any work. They
had no opportunities Ito acquire handi-
crafts that might have fitted them 70 be
self-supporting citizens after their re-
lease. They were condemned by the law
to the frightfuI conbinati ton OF idleness
and solitude.
The natural results have followed
Seven of the convicts have been officially
declared TO be insane, and two more are
in a condition OF which a similar dec
lara ton is expected. The insane con-
victs have been removed from the peni-
Tertiary TO an asylum.
The wonder is not that so many, but
that So few, Of the convicts have sue
cunbed to the appalling ordeal 70 which
the legislature, at the behest OF Organ
lied labor" has condemned them. 1t is
an ordeal to which no man and no asso-
citation Of men has a right 10 condemn
a man. To take away mans life is
justifiable when he has forfeited it, But
TO take away his reason is never allowa-
BILE. And the bereavement of reason is
the natural and almost inevitable result
OF locking up by himself of an aDle-bod-
led and active minded man during his
waking as well as his sleeping hours
and leaving him TO brood. Even the IN
productive and dreary round of the
treadmill is better than this, which is
now the legal punishment for crime in
the state OF New York. It is a "cruel and
unusual" an inhuman and devilish, pun
ishGnent. The insane victims Of organ
lied labor" in the Kings county peniten-
tiary make an appeal TO humanity for
the repeal of the law which has con-
demned them TO such a fate That ap-
peal cannot be disregarded except to the
shame OF the state.

The little buster which came up from

the rain was much heavier south and
