EMPLOYMENT FOR coNvIcTs.

In his annual report the former
warden of the penitentiary stated
that the convicts were on the
verge of insanity for want of some
thing to do and that work should
by all means be provided for them.
Since then now warden has been
installed and while he does not
send out any reports he promptly
goes to work and finds something
for those to do under his charge
1t is learned that Warden Hoyt
Will shortly have all the able con-
victs in his charge employed in
one way or another. He made il

To do and in that he has been suc-
full. The question for some time
has been most serious one for
the state. With some 600 con-
victs on hand and nothing for
them TO do the situation became
exasperating. For two years and
probably longer these ronvicts
had nothing to do more than to
digest their meals. This was not
a very healthy occupation for
them, neither was it conductive to
good management. So long as
the convicts are employed there is
little. chance of mischief brewing,
but when they are left to them
selves with nothing to occupy
their time from one year TO
another, there is great danger for
them as well as for the safety of

Canon City parties, now in New
York, says the Denver Times, are
there for the purpose of complet-
ing arrangements by which the
thriving city at the end of the
Royal Gorge is to have another
railroad line In case this project
goes through and the plans of the
Florence d Cripple.Creek are car
ried out, Canon City will enjoy
the blessing of three railroads and
direct connection with Cripple
Creek and intervening points.
The new road is practically de-
cided upon. The affairs are now
being completed in New York and
those interested directly are ex-
pected to come to Colorado next
week to look over the route. Some
of the capitalists who will take
large amounts of stock will be in
the party and will make the trip
from Canon City to Cripple Greek.

THE CANNON LAW.

The stand taken by Senator
Wolcott on the Cannon law. while
it may be surprising, as many sug-
gest, is none the less commenda-
BILE. There is no logical reason
why Colorado should 20 down in
history as the rendezvous of plug
uglies and their ilk While prize
fight may have its peculiar attrac-
tons, yet there are great many
persons who attend such exhibi-
tions who would much prefer to
go outside the borders of theirown
state to witness them, retaining,
even in this, degree of pride for
the commonwealth of which they
are citizens.
The senator suggests that a spe-
cial session of the general assembly
would be profitable, even il moth
ing was done aside from repeal
ing the Cannon law. 1t is doubt
ful, however, if such action would
be taken, as only such measures
are acted -unon- in snecial session
his cnll for such session. As Glow
ernor Thomas so recently signed
the bill in question, it is doubtful
whether he would at this time
coucede TINT he had been in error
ana That the measure is repulsive
to majority of right minded Col
oradoans. AS far, then. as the law
permitt'ng prize fights is con-
cerned, an extra session of the
Twelfth general assembly would
avnil nothing.
1t may be, however, that ms the
time approaches for one of these
lhhnman contests, public senti-
ment may become so strong that
IT cannot be overlooked by the
governor. and that, should n spe-
clnl session be called, he will in
ciude the repeal of the Cannon
law as one of the objects of the
special call. Wise men are able |
to recognize errors in their own
lives, aud it is to be hoped that |
tue members of the Twelfth gen
eral assembly who voted for the
passage of the Cannon bill, and
the governor, who made it law
by his signature, may be able to
see their mistake. and then be led
to rectify it when the opportunity
is presented.

The City Council.

y regular meeting of the city
council was held in the city hall
last night, the mayor and all mem
bers of the board, Trustee Bedwell
excepted, being present.
The special committee to whom
was referred the charges of Rath-
bun against Street commissioner
Hall, reported that after full in
vestigation ii had found Mr.. Hall
innocent of the charges and re-
commended that the case be dis
missed. The testimony of witness
es in the case was read. and il de-
veloped that the man Rathbun
had made two dispositions entire
ly contradictory to each other, and
it would seem had placed himself
in very dangerous position
should any one care to swear out
a warrant charging perjury
against him. On the other hand
Mr.. Halls innocence was apparent
to everyone. The report was
adopted and the committee dis
charged.
The reports of the street super
visor, clerk, scavenger, secretary
of the cemetery association, police
magistrate and treasurer, respect
lively, were read, accepted and
filed.

Ths Nicaragua Canal.

II often occurs that business institu-
tons kill the goose that lays the gold
en- eggs An illustration is furnished
by the Panama Canal company. One
OF the very strong arguments brought
ont in the support OF the canal across
the isthmns is the fact that the railroad
is extortionate. In this 1t is assisted
by the steamship companies. The lat
ter makes rates by the isthmus the
same AS around the horn. the only ad.
vantage for the shipper being that Of
quicker transit. The railroad com
pany secures one-thiTd Of the freight
charges. II the charge is $50 ton on
freight from New York TO South Amer
lean port, the railroad secures $50.
With freights thus run up TO the
highest figures the traffic will bear. the
net earnings of the road amount to
SSoo,0O0 year on its Il miles OF track
Another bad feature is that competi-
ton is eliminated by a contract under
which the railroad company refuses TO
handle freight for any steamship line
from the west coast OF Central America
but the Pacific Mail company.
The result Of this policy Of the rail.
road aud the steamship companies is
that business men all throughout the
region effected have been awakened
TO the necessity OF canal, and their
sentiment is reflected by their CORE.
spondents in this country. With a
canal opened 1t wall be impracticable
for such monopoly TO be maintained.
since the waterway would be open to all
alike and an attempt to maintain rates
above the normal point would lead TO
the establishment OF independent lines.
The tramp steamers would be able TO
make contracts TO carry freight far be
low ruling rates and the larger concerns
would be compelled to meet them.
There are multitudes of reasons why
the canal should be constructed and
the general public will be glad that
bnrdensome monopoly will be broken
by opening the proposed waterway for
commerce between the two oceans.

As 6s years have elapsed since

Baroness Ulrike Won Leyetzow, how
ever. who has just kept her ninety-fifth
birthday at Triblitz. in Bohemia, not

tender passion in his susceptible

Dazzled by her beauty, he succeeded
without difficulty in getting an intro
duction, and there ensued on his part
a serious attachment, cordially recip-
rocated, IL is said. by the lady herself.
Fear on ridicule prevented Goethe
contracting a marriage of the May and
December type. He tore himself away,
writing the well-known "Marienbad
Elegy" in the post chaise that took him
back 20 Weimar.
