The bill now pending before the leg
islature which may be known and cited
as the prison act of 1897, and which
provides for the taking under state
control and support of the entire prison
system Of the commonwealth and all
its counties is still in the hands of the
committee to which it has been refer
red, and is said to be receiving a CON
siderauOn that augurs well for its pas
sage. The measure was drawn on lines
largely suggested by General Isaac J.
Wistar, of the board of prison inspec-
tors. 1t proposes to consolidate the e.
county jails of the state into a smaller
number Of larger and better jails; to
abolish factory labor by convicts, sub
stituting manual labor as far as pos
sible to provide separate accommoda-
tions for untried prisoners, first Offend
ers and reformable oonvicts, and to es-
tablish separate wards for insane con-
victs and for female convicts.
In discussing the measure General
Wistar said: 1T is expected that this
bill, If it becomes a law, viii give first
and permanent satisfaction to honest
outside labor. It will do away with fac
tory and machine work and take prison
labor out of competition. One feature
Of labor in this connection win consti-
tute a great saving i'm the line of con-
struotion of buildings. There need be
but a small first cost i'm connection
with the proposed new jails. The nee
essary sites can be secured at low rates
If proper precaution is observed. The
construction Of restraining walls ought
not to cost beyond $4,000 I'm each In
stance, and after that the convicts
themselves, temporarily housed in bar
racks, can erect the permanent Jail
buildings. At the Eastern penitentiary
we erected a new section of 33 cells at
a cost of S11, 600, with convict labor.
that would have cost fully ten times as
much If let by the contract.
''The number of jails ina England Va
reduced some years ago from 113 to 5g
and the result was not only a saving of
5000 000 in salaries alone, but percep.
tible decrease in crime. owing TO the
improved system AS a matter of fact
from 80 to 40 per cent of the expenses
in this connection are general fixed ex-
penses, so that the great saving can
readily be recognized as possible i'm the
line Of subsistence. Sheuffs now charge
80 cents a day for feeding prisoners
The cost per day I'm the Eastern pent.
tentiary Is rs cents. There is no reason
why his proportionate saving cannot
be maintained In the proposed consol.

The Fifth session OF the legislature OF
Washington Is now a part OF the states
history. At this hour both houses are
stia In session. although by law the
legislature should have adjourned at mid
night.
The clock IN the house was set back TO

hours are made To do service for the ex-
piring day was maintained.
A large and motley array OF spectators
gathered 20 witness the expiring gasp OF
the legislature. The wives OF the sena-
tors and representatives. and many other
ladies. were present. The scene was bril-
liant. but so great was the noise that at
times It was difficult to hear the pro-
ccedings.
