Men often pay an external regard
to Christ and His ordinances, no,
fer the purpose of honoring Him and
obtaining spiritual blessings, bu: fer
the purpose Of promoting their
worldly interests and accomplishing
! their selfish ends.
XN II NEWNtN
The Saint Paul globe., 1899-02-19

in accordance with the principles Of
the gospel of Christ? Any principle
of action that goes against the law Of
God as revealed in the constitution of
society and the better instincts of our
nature uncorrupted by selfishnesS, must
utterly fail in the end. The remedies
that ] propose to submit, for existing
conditions, to your consideration, are
absolutely based upon the principles Of
equity and justice, both to the crimi-
nal, the wOrkingman and society at
large.
I'm the first place, if the contract sys-
tenn is to be retained, the convicts
should be leased annually or biennial
ly to the highest bidder: their earnings,
oyer and above the cost of mainte-
nance, to be paid to them at the expira
ton Of their terms, or to those depend
ent upon them during the period Of
their Incarceration. Should the pub
plan be adopted the profits from the
sale of merchandise should be appor-
toned pro rata among the convicts and
distributed as above, after deducting
for their board and maintenance.
There would be as little sense in
teaching but one line of trade in our
manual training schools as there is in
the present plan of conducting our
state prison at Saltwater, hence l
would suggest the propriety of teach
ing diversified industries to the tenants
thereof, so that when their terms eX-
pire they will not all come into COM
petition with the one craft This prop
osition would also minimize that ele-
ment Of competition against which the
shcemakers justly complain. In the
The Saint Paul globe., 1899-02-19

tractors, who are building tho new
state capitol, been allowed the privi-
lege of having the stone cut by con-
tract labor, free labor would have been
compelled to accept convict prices In
order to secure the work."
AS a parallel case Mr.. Nash read
from The G o be a report of recent
meeting of florists, when report was
made against the custom of allowing
state institutions to sell cut flowers
to the injury of those who are engaged
exclusively in cultivating them. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Nash said:
And there are other points to be
considered. 1t is simply rot to talk
about either the disciplinary value of
the work done in these prisons for the
reformatory value of the contract sys-
tenn. The felons are mere machines
held to labor by the dark cell and the
scourge. They do not learn trades;
they simply learn parts of trades, out
of which an honest living cannot be
made. The advantages claimed for the
system simplXedo not exist. When we
examine them closely they fade away.
But even if the system was all that
the fancy of the most enthusiastic pris-
on reformer painted it. it would still
be bad. dangerous and demoralizing.
The state has no right to fit to the
backs of one class of workers the bur-
den which should be shared by all.
The defenders of the contract labor
system are to be found only among the
ranks of its beneficiaries. Laws have
been passed in most of the states
sweeping the system away, and in
others at the termination of existing
contracts the method will terminate;
The Saint Paul globe., 1899-02-19

tendency is inevitable. All the physi-
cal phases of the present are along this
line. That so many hold conviction
OF the truth of these higher laws. Of
the spirit is evidence that a new force
Is shaping the policy of the future.
Greed and infidelity may wreck the ma
ton as 1t now is. but if such should
be the case. from it's ruins will rise
system founded on divine and equitable
law. that shall exist for the good Of
every individual and shall reverence
the progress Of the soul. Such is the
highest destiny of the social formation.
Then shall nations and the associations
OF humanity have fulfilled their mis-
sion. Then shall be witnessed the de-
cay of cruelty, the humiliation OF pow
erty, the evanishment of intolerance
and the destruction Of the law or
might; and in place of these that have
desolated the earth shall arise the
majesty of mind, and the free aspira
tions of the spirit that climbs towards
Its eternal source and destination"

MAY WHEAT DECLINED

CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-In spite of heavy SELL
ing today, wheat found ready takers, and,
after a severe struggle, May closed at de-
cline OF AQ7sc. Corn oats and provisions
were uncompromisingly weak, closing with
| a loss OF Hc in corn, ss@1ac In oats, 221ac in
PORK ana lGQ1212c in lard and ribs.
Wheat started fairly steady but when trad
ing commenced the Northwest had not been
heard from IN regard to the movement of
wheat In that quarter. few minutes after
tne opening the receipts at Minneapolis and
Duluth were reported at $50 carloads, COM
pared with 242 the corresponding day a

down on three or four occasion to 7kc, and
once to 71A@71Bc. but always bobbed up
again when the selling pressure relaxed.
An immense amount of wheat was wanted
at nc, and May finally closed at 720721sc.
Heavy receipts and the large accumulations

demand. weakened corn. Longs hQudated
freely, and prices declined sharply. Re-
eeipts were e5S cars. May opened shade

this lake at Clapham, near London, and Is
1t seems strange that London should have
existed for more than 1900 years and rot
have discovered that there was a great lake
beneath 1t.
The discovery of this lake brings a solution
to question which has been Distressing Lon
don terribly OF late. The greatest city in
the world has a. very inadequate water sup
ply. 1t Is furnished by certain private COM
panies, conspicuous among which is the New
River company, which was organized IN the
reign of James l., about 300 years ago.
These Companies charge exorbdtant rates
and give very poor supply. fourth of "
share in the New River company Is worth
about $4,000. The water companies have
hitherto eXerted tremendous influence through
their shareholders in parliament, but the new
and democratic county council has put a
The Saint Paul globe., 1899-02-19

London has suddenly found itself in pos
session of a cheap and inexhaustible supply
of pure water, the existence of which 1t had
never suspected.
Walker Mosey, the engineer of the London
city council, has Informed that body that
underneath London is an immense lake Of
pure cod water, In chalk basin 2,506 square
miles in extent and 100 feet below the surface
of the ground
The annual rainfall that sinks below to the
lake is at least 2S0, 900 coo, 600 gallons which
would give a daily yield of 7,065. 100000 gal
Ions
1t is believed that the discovery of this lake
will forever put an end to the old vexed ques
tion Of London's water supply. 1t is only
necessary to sink a sufficient number of deep
wells in order to obtain al the water neces-
sary.
An arte,dan well has already been sunk to

wholesome fear into them. 1t now seems that
their last hour has come
Last year the vast East end of London suf-
fered from a water famine, and In conse-
quence there was danger OF an outbreak Of
all kinds of dreadful diseases. Only good luck
averted that catastrophe.
The county council then decided that 1t
would have to settle the water question once
and for all. 1t Planned to carry the water
supply to London from the hills on the bor-
der of Wales, about ECO miles away. This
would have been the greatest engineering
undertaking of its kind in the world and
would have cost more than $100, 900, co.,
Now comes the announcement that an in
exhaustible reservoir has been found but 100
feet beneath London
The county council will soon sink its wells
ana there will be little expense in the under
taking.
