The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1899-01-28

There lie great complaint among
those who entertain in Lincoln that the
invited guests do not come at the hour
set for reception or party. The hostess
writes her invitations and sets the hour
for the guests to arrive, but Lincoln
guests use their own pleasure 10 com.
ing, and they straggle along at any old
hour no matter what Inconvenience it
may cause the one who has extended
the invitation. The hostess has gone to
work and made her arrangements for
certain hour. She lie dressed and ready

assist her are also ready. but no guests
arrive. There is long dreary wait and
the hostess is chsgrined and worn out
before the arrival Of those she has in.

EMPLOYMENT FOR CoNvICTS

The question of employing in
mates of penal institutions so as
not to bring them in conflict with
free labor has been serious one,
not in Colorado alone, but in every
state in the Union. The state of
New York believes it has solved
the problem by employing them
in the manufacture of such goods
as are needed in the public insti-
tutions and state departments.
Heretofore such goods have been
purchased by contract let to the
lowest bidder. The state did not
always receive what it wanted, nor
were the goods of the required
quality. Now the institutions OBJ
tain just what they ask for, and
while in some instances the price
may be higher the convicts have
employment and that was the main
point with the authorities when
they sought some way in which to
improve the condition prevailing
in the penal institutions.
The prison commission in its
report says the health of the CON
victs has been remarkably i'm
knowing, as they do, "that their
labor is wholly for the state that
maintains them, rather than for
the profits of taskmasters who have
purchased their labor" Free la
Dor is satisfied with this manner of
employing the convicts. 1t is
suggested that some similar plan
might pro6tably be introduced in
the penal institutions of this state. |
There are many articles needed in
the different state institutions
which might be manufactured in
The state penitentiary with the
iouble purpose in view of giving
to the convicts and of
'educing the cost of maintaining
hese institutions. The success

running without interruption from
that day 20 this, requiring nothing ex-
cept cleaning and few trifling repairs
