What is most exasperating about the
cases Of insanity among convicts
caused by idleness Is the fact that
prison labor can be arranged so as to
make the competition with free labor
insignificant. By condemning convicts
competition, society imposes cruel and
inhuman punishment on prisoners. The
supporting Of convicts at public eN-
pense is more of burden on labor than
the competition would be if the labor
should be diversified.

relief of sufferers from overflow of Mis-
sissippi river and Red river: relief of
people in the mining region of Alaska,
issues to Indians, etc. The value of
stores lost by accident, by wastage, trans
portation, etc, during the year for which
no one was held responsible, was $685.
AL. Supplies lost for which responsible
ity was fixed amount to S1,816, nearly all
of which has been collected. There was
a large increase over previous years in
stores condemned, due to incidents and
accidents of service during the Spanish
