disbursement for the maintenance of
convicts was $173, 800, and the receipts
from their labor were $3.50, 900, a loss of
$4S, 800. In the past year, however, the
tide turned, and the receipts from con-
victs and coal mines amounted to $780,

showing a profit of 1856, 500. He thinks
that in the ensuing year a very much
larger net profit will be derived from
the prison account. This in itself should
be sufficient to stop any further talk OF
changing the system of working the
