OUR PENAL INSTITUTION.
Biennial Report of the Penitentiary
Issued and Ready for Dis
tributiOn.

The biennial report of the board of
commissioners and superintendent of the
New Mexico penitentiary to the governor
has Just been issued and is ready for dis
tribution. Those who receive it should not
lay it aside unthinkingly, as another
dry statistical report. 1t is we'll worth
reading, and when read will start train
of thought that may not be very pleasant,
but will bring definite conclusions.
The superintendent says: "'Ora ct la
bora should be the motto for every penal
institution. Unfortunately, however, a
great many good Christian people, actu-
ated, no doubt, by pure and sincere mo-
tives, strongly object to the second part
of the motto's advice, and advocate in
many states the abandonment Of prison
labor The social problem of reforma-
tion can only be worked out in the indi-
yidual by habits of industry compulsorily
learned, and continually exercised until
the habit is fixed"
| During the two years covered ny the
report the expenditures were Sl,l3f.76.
OF this amount $4,000 were expended III
erecting new buildings and making nec-
essary Improvements and repairs. The
! earnings in cash of the convicts were
| S1S,536 35. In speaking of the financial
condition of the prison the superintend-
ent complains that various counties that
have sent prisoners to the penitentiary
for safe keeping have failed to pay the
ex pense of board and care and clothing
for such inmates. The amounts due the
penitentiary from counties is as follows:
Mora county, $1,5l425; San Miguel,
$459.75; Santa Fe, $717; Colfax, $473; a
total of $3,164.00.
The number of prisoners in confine-
ment for the two years ending December
81, 1896, was BIT; of that number 1853
we're discharged; eighteen pardoned; one
granted respite; six escaped, and four
died.
The superintendent recommends the
enlargement of the cell house-this is
matter ofnecessity, made so by the con-
stantly increasing number of convicts;
the erection of the proposed south wing
of the penitentiary; the renewal of the
appropriation for the establishment of
terra GOTTA works; the enlargement of the
penitentiary land holdings.
The report is very complete, giving IN |
detail the cost and kind of buildings built,
the amount aud character of work done
by convicts, itemized statements of re-
ceipts and expenditures, and many facts
concerning the inmates of the institution
which are of much interest.
The penitentiary has been for two
years and is now, under the management
of board of commissioners composed
of O. A. Hadley, president, of Mora coun-
ty; W. E. Dame, secretary, Santa Fe; j.
NJ. Valdez, Colfax; d. s. Miller, Sierra;
Henry Young, Taos; Roman A. Baca,

Miners Routed.

Kansas City, Feb. "a special to the
Star from Guthrie, 0. r., says: A detach-
ment of troops succeeded in locating the
miners at work in the Wichita mountains
and have driven them out, and party Of
them are now under arrest at Fo-t Sill.

world. He says the lodges so jealously
guarded by the Indians for years, are very
rich, and when the facts become known,
rush so great that all the troops in the
country can not keep the crowd out.

THE Big SUGAR MONOPOLY
Investigation of the Great Combine
by a Joint Committee on
Trusts.
THEODORE HAVEMEYERS TESTIMONY
He Tells Under Oath of the Amalgama-
tion of Several Small Sugar Com
panies in 1891, and How the
Great Trust Was Formed.

New York, Feb. 5.-When Chairman
Leacom called the joint executive COM
mittee on trusts to order to-day, there
were present upon subpnnas to testify,
III. @. and Theodore Havemyer, besides a
number of men prominent in mercantile
pursuits, and also several lawyers whose
clients interests, it was supposed, might
be affected by the investigation. Theo-
Z dore A. Havemeyer, vice-president of the
American Sugar Refining company, was
sworn. He explained that prior to 1891
he was connected with eight sugar refin-
ing companies, now operating as the
American Sugar Refining company. He
said he had nothing to do with the COM
mercial or fiscal side of the business. He
could not give the capitalization of the
various companies absorbed in 1891 with
ont reference to his books; that was
matter upon which Mr.. Searles would
probably inform the committee.
This question was then put to the wit
ness:
sDo you (meaning American Sugar Re-
fining company transact any business,
save sugar refining?"
"I think not"
"Have you not recently branched into
outside manufactured"
eyes, sir; am connected with coffee
company of Ohio"
''What was the OBJ ject of your CONSOLE
dation in 1897"
-"To refine sugar."
"Was not your company organized,
Mr.. Havemyer, to control the refining
and sale of sugar in the United States?"
II think not"
"Do you not control the sugar markets
of the United Statess"
"No, SIR"
"Was your company not organized for
the purpose of preventing illegal COM
binations of labor?"
'No, sir"
"Have you not increased the capital
stock of the company since 1917"
eyes, sir"
ITO what extent?"
~ should say about 25,OO0,00O."
Chow many sugar companies outside of
yours are there in the United Statesf"
81 should say about eight"
The witness then enumerated the names
of these companies.
In reply to another question he said
that the American sugar refneries pro-
duced from 70 to Is per cent of the sugar
manufactured in the United States.
"Why was the stock increasedf"
'sTo Purchase other companies; Frank
lin, Knight, Spreckles and Delaware sugar
refining companies Of Philadelphia."

increased, owing to the acquisition in-s
fuence of your company"

ance of the best uses of land.
The people confined themselves
TO single staples like wheat or
corn, or cattle. The American
farmers were told years ago to
look out for the great wheat
fields of the Argentine Republic
which would cheaper the cost of
wheat, and were earnestly told TO
diversity their work. No farmer
opened his eyes, and if he did,
he groaned out: "What else can
/ raise?" And then went on with
his wheat and corn.
But the agricultural cranks,
like Marsden, were on hand and
secured the establishment of very
many agricultural stations, which
are gradually changing the as
pect of rural life in America. One
station does, with rigid scientific.
accuracy, that which Il thousand
farmers could not do. These sta
tons have, during the last l.
years, done more for the profit of
farming than has been done in a
hundred years. No farmer need
make any mistake now. The eX-
pertinent is, thoroughly made
with the best brain and money of
the State. The rapid develop
ment of the sugar beet industry
is largely due to the fine, accurate
of the stations. We
need here, especially, the work of
such a station, and we are fortu-
nate in having man to manage
it. But the industrial body is fat
and lazy on an exclusive sugar
diet. The time will come when
it will be shaly on this diet, and
it's sickly voice will pipe out:
ooh, what shall | do?" And |
Marsden will thunder back at the
invalid: Il told you so. |
[ told you to study up other
iiets, but you knew it all, and
'efused."
1t is said that there is money
or station, but it has not been
lsed: Anyone who thinks about
may see that out of this sin
;le diet political troubles, and,
inally, bloodshedding will come.
The social forces, in these
lays, are becoming ugly lions

A SUGAR DIET ONLY.

If the Board of Health ordered
all of us to live on a sugar diet
only, there would be a riot if we
had strength enough to make one.
An exclusive sugar diet is fatten-
ing at first, but after awhile it
thins out the blood, encourages
boils, takes the life out of the
bones and causes the teeth to
drop out.
Now we are, as an industrial
body, living on an exclusive sug-
ar diet, excepting a little coffee
we have just added to it This
exclusive diet gave us a sick spell
when the free sugar epidemic
struck us several years ago, and
it will develop into a pestilence
i'll the future. All Of the exclu-
sively sugar countries have found
this out. But the people of one
country rarely heed the exper-
fence of another country, and the
most respectable citizens walk,
with very wise looks, into the
traps of disaster, just as yenera-
bic rats get into scrapes:
The intense financial suffering
in the United States and Austria

THE BRITISH PACIFIC CABLE.

The New York Tribune takes
the United States to task for not
pushing the Pacific cable. It says
that the British viii soon do it,
and 1T is one of the great causes
Of her commercial expansion"
But the Tribune does not seem TO
realize the fact that the training
of the American people has been,
for 40 years, towards the develop
ment of internal trade and not
external. The Tribune has teen
the one great conspicuous leader
in this education. 1t is the logical
consequence OF. the projection the
DRY. We are not opposing or dis
cussing protection, but present on
ly the facts. The Tribune, 40
years ago, urged the people to
choose between internal trade and
foreign trade, and urged the form
er. American ships were swept
from the ocean, and the Tribune
said internal trade will be more
profitable. 1t urged that foreign
goods should be kept out of the
United States, rather than the
doctrine of getting American
goods into all foreign countries.
Putting goods into foreign cohn-
lries, makes the necessity for vast
leets of vessels and ocean cables.
Now the people are slowly under
tanding that they have neglected
hat part of trade which creates
ables and ships, and the Tribune

Ne alluded to the same subject
everal days since in connection {
With the Nicaragua Canal.
But at last the Americans are
waking up to a realizing sense of
he situation, and will act: This
radual change of base is our OPP
ortunity.
