THE PENITENTIARY EVIL.

Il IS TO be hoped that the House of
Delegates, in considering the bill appro-
priating 100000 out Of the future earn
ings of the penitentiary, for the purpose
Of enlarging the cell-room Of the prison.
VIII not be diverted from the main issue
by the fact that measures have been in
troduced in both branches Of the Legis-
lature looking to the purchase Of an
other convict farm. Another farm or
the enlargement Of the present one would
not meet the requirements Of the situa-
tion. What with the States contracts
for labor inside of the penitentiary. and
the long-term men confined in the insti-
tuition. there are as many prisoners on
the farm as could well he sent outside
Of the walls.
Taking the number of convicts worked
under contract in the shoe-shops, the
prisoners necessarily employed in wash
ing ana cooking for, and waiting on,
these. and the lOng-termers, whom it
would not be safe 10 trust on a farm,
and what is the condition? The cell-room
OF the penitentiary is crowded to suffo-
cation at night. The purchase Of an
other farm or the increase Of the acre
age of the present farm would contri-
butte little more TO relieving the conges-
ton at the penitentary than would the
purchase Of so much river bottom. 1t
would not answer the cry Of humanity
that has repeatedly gone out from the
prison. and has been echoed by every
one who has personally investigated the
evil. and by various religious bodies of
tho state. 1t would not remove from
Virginia the reproach the status of af-
fairs at the penitentiary puts upon her
II would not diminish the horror and
suffering attendant upon prisoners be-
ing packed in ill-ventilated cells at night
like cattle in a railway cattle-car. 1t
would not afford immunity from the
ever,present danger OF the penitentiary's
becoming a pestlence breeder--a danger
that, indeed, must increase in proper
ton as there is delay in building addi-
tional cell-room.
SO We say, we hope that the House
Will not be diverted from the main issue |
by the farm-purchase proposition or any i
thing else; but that it viii grasp that is
sue as the Senate has done, and pass the |
bill.

The United States have practically no
Secretary of State. In one Of the most
acute crises that have overtaken the
country since the close Of the civil war,
we have been without a responsible head
to the diplomatic department. John Sher-
man stll holds the portfolio Of Secretary
OF state, but he is mere cipher. During
all the excitement growing out Of the De
LONE incident and the disaster TO the
Maine, and at a time when naturally the
Secretary OF State would be expected to
come TO the front as the most prominent
man Of the nation next to the President,
shermans name has hardly been men,
toned. All important dispatches in
tended for the State Department are, It
seems, addressed 10 MISUNDERSTANDING
Day. Sherman is shelved. disregarded,
ignored.
And why have we no real head to the
State Department? What has brought
us into this undignined attitude before
the eyes Of the world? 1t IS all on ac-
count Of Hannalsm. 1t is the result of
political intrigue 10 which the President
was a party. Mark A. Hanna's great
ambition was a seat in the United States
Senate. He demanded this as his reward
FOR managing McISinley's campaign. act
ing as collecting and disbursing agent of
the fund for debauching the electorate
OF the country. and rendering II possible

people John Sherman barred the way 10

Republicans OF Ohio. Sherman was IN

~ far as his party IN his State could |
secure Il. AS long as he retained his |
seat II ives useless for Hanna TO COM
snence an open fight for the prize. The |
first thing 10 be done was 20 get the |
VEGETABLE idol Of the Ohio Republicans
20 lay aside the senatorial toga. This
could only be accomplished by cajolery.
Hanna was equal 10 the occasion. No
sooner was McKinley's election assnrea
shan sherman was tempted with the Seq
fetaryship Of State. and the Hanna or
cans began TO play upon the old mans
vanity BY putting him up as the man Of

And now 1t appears that sobral IS TO
follow De LONE into private life be-
cause Of his disposition to talk too much.
Indeed. It is said he has been retired
from public service by his government
these several weeks. According TO the
New York Press, "the presumptuous
young person was recalled as naval at
tache on January oath. His sending of a
message as q member OF the legation was
an impertinence, his criticism Of the
American navy of no more seriousness
than the mouthings Of a frequenter of a
Spanish grog-shop, and his visit to the
Vizcaya of no Importance whatever. He
carried no dispatches, and boarded the
cruiser as a gossip. and not as naval
officer i'm any capacity. Sobral played the
role of SPY last summer in visiting the
Notifications along the southern coasts
He boosted of what he had learned.
Judged from his present conduct, Sobrals
visits were another display of gall, and
the Spanish officials have found him out
and sent him home" In the light of the
of De LONE and Sobral, it
will be interesting to observe the de-
velopment of Spains diplomatic "next."

The Pittsburg Pa) Post is exceedingly
glad that General Fitz. Lee was con-
tnued as Consul General at Habana. Con-
sul-General Lee is undoubtedly, says the
Post, the right man in the right place,
and must be the main reliance of the
government for information, as well as
the conduct of affairs at Habana, look
ing to a thorough investigation Of facts.
He has had the benefit of responsible and
dangerous war service for years, is "a
trained soldier, and besides that has had
valuable civil experience as Governor Of
Virginia for four years. In the way Of
foreign appointments the wisest thing,
as events have proven. that President
Mckinley has done has been to retain
the services Of General Lee.

The New York Journal Of Commerce,
in discussing the spread of trusts and
monopolies. says that these organizations
have grown to an extent that few per-
sons are prepared to imagine A COM
putation, continues our contemporary. Of
the various combinations created with a
view to controlling production and prices
in one way or another, made by an ex-
pert for the Commercial Yearbook,
enumerates 200 Of these organizations,
with a total Of capital stock and bonds
aggregating 1862, 100000. This total is
equal to s. per cent. of the entire capital
credited TO the manufactures of the
United States in the census of 1890.
The Journal comedies that as the capt.
tai stock in many cases has been freely
issued against such Pigments as good
will and anticipated profits, these figures
represent a considerable amount of I'M
qualified imitation. Yet, it adds, the facts
are not the less startling on that ac-
count
The Journal, however. warns those
who are aiming to regulate industry
through the defeat Of competition that
the future is beset with Danger, which,
it believes. will ultimately overthrow
their system.

M. GODDARD, the French aeronaut, pro-
poses to rig out a balloon with a dozen
smaller reservoirs, and go next summer
In search of Andree. NJ. GODDARD, it will
be remembered, had, before Andree start
ed in a balloon to search for the pole,
planned a similar quest, but for some
reason abandoned It. He thinks that his
supplementary balloons will enable him
10 stay up in the air for some two
months, thus permitting him to cover a
very large area in hunting for the daring
Swedish aeronaut
There are a few persons who think
that NJ. GODDARD may find Andree alive,
but the great preponderance of opinion
is that his venture will be a case of
sending good balloons after a bad one.

The New York Times is informed by a
United States senator that not less than
forty senators can be depended upon to
vote against ratification Of the Hawaiian
treaty. If this information is correct,
then the outrageous Hawaiian job is as
dead as a door-nai. Forty senators
against the treaty would leave on a full
Senate but fifty senators favoring it-or
ten less than the constitutional two
thirds necessary for ratification. AS to
the threat of the promoters that in case
Of failure Of the scheme in the Senate
they would attempt to consummate it
through joint resolution, that is hardly
worth considering. They would not Dare
chance the exposure Of the job that the
debate Of such a resolution would make

WHY NOT A RusNyMEDEs

The baronets and the children OF lift
peers in Great Britain are out The for.
mer have 10 tread on the coat-taIls Of the
latter. and. paradoxIcal as II may seem,
II Is the former and not the latter that
are maddest.
The grievance about which the baronets
are making a fuss is the precedence OF
the children OF life peers over them.
which they contend is a distinct violation
of the stipulation under which their an
cestors first purchased their baronetcies
from King Charles /. and King James l.,
each of whom sold these hereditary digni-
ties to any one who was willing to pay
the stipulated price-namely, $l5,O00-says
n London correspondent. On that occa-
sion It was agreed by both kings that
the baronets should follow Immediately
after the younger children Of barons,
who are the lowest grade Of the peerage.
No such honors as life peerages existed in
those days. The baronets already OBJ
jected when Queen Victoria, in the early
part Of her reign, conferred a number of
life peerages. But when last year the
children of these life peers, whose dignity
is not hereditary, were accorded by the
Queen precedence over the baronets, the
latter became wild with indignation. and
have been agitating ever since to obtain
what they declare to be their recognition
of their rights
The baronets have formed a union, with
Sir Lambert Lorrain at its head, for the
purpose of persuading the Crown TO re
dress the grievance. A more interesting
way. however. of tackling the question
would be through another Runnymede.

more responsible one; but still they would
cut them and leave officers who receive
their thousands untouched. We rccog-
nze the fact that there Is room for re-
trenchment, and that a stop should be
put to some things. but as Lincoln tele-
graphed TO the Governor OF Pennsylvania
when he called for 10000 men to stop the
invasion OF Lee into his State. that his
stopper was too small" so It is with our
lawmakers when they try TO bring about
retrenchment by stopping the poor. Ia

ducing the pay Of an already poorly paid
