THE CONVICT LABOR PROBLEM.

The States of Texas, Georgia and Mis-
sissippi are endeavoring to solve the
convict labor problem, with some show
ing of success. They have abandoned
the hiring out of convicts, which
brought prison labor into competition
with outside wage-earners, and have put
the convicts to work in cotton fields.
where they come into competition with
no one, have easier work in the opcn
air and sunlight, and bring to the State
larger return in earnings. The sys-
TEN is said to have been eminently sat
isfactory since its adoption, and to
promise still better results in the future.
Unfortunately there are no cotton
fields in majority o. the States. bat if
convicts could be employed upon State
farms to raise the vegetables, fruit and
meat they consume. so al 20 make them
self-supporting, aside from clothing. it
would be distinct advantage to the
taxpayer Thought and experiment
along this line may solve tile convict
,ebor prc5!em in a satisf, ,to-y man

Standard Oil Company was cited to
appear before the Supreme Court of
Ohio to defend its charter.
The case has never been disposed of.
and during these nine years the trust
has openly defied the Court, violated it's
orders. and has even demanded and OBJ
tanned the political head of the Attor-
ney General who dared to bring the
action.

of Mark Hanna and William Mckinley.

The County Board has never, from

or endeayor to make taxation easier
for our citizens, as has been the policy
of County Courts in other counties. On
the other hand, 1t has steadfastly
maintained policy exactly the reverse
It has been the studied purpose OF the
servants of the people who bear the title
Of Commissioners of Ohio county, to
make things as expensive for the tax
payers as possible, and to augment and
multiply the difficulties of securing re-
lief.
These are facts which cannot be con-
troverted. 1t is evidence which truth
will not disprove, although political
subterfuge may weave mask intended
to bamboozle and mislead the public.
And the Intelligencer of this city is
an accessory in the scheme to
make taxpayers in Ohio county pay as
much as can possibly be squeezed out
of them.

THE REPUBLICAN METHOD.

The manner in which Republican
newspapers and speakers treat mem
bers of their party who act from con-
viction and with an honest purpose,
is worthy of note
There is Senator Hoar, for instance.
He fought the imperialistic idea with
all his might, and the things that were
said about him in the Republican
press were decidedly the reverse of
complimentary. But the Senator is
still Republican, and has announced
his adhesion to the national ticket,
and the taffy factory is running, and
the grand old man" is being lauded.
Then there is. Stewart, of Nevada.
He has been commonly referred to by
Republicans the past few years as a
Presidential old blatherskite," and
kindred things Mr. Stewart is back
in the Republican fold to a certain ex-
tent, and pet names are being lavished
upon him.
It's now up to Pettigrew. He has
been called every name allowed in
print by the postal laws and no abuse
has been too vile to be heaped upon
him. If Pettigrew should return to the
fold even he would be the recipient of
words of welcome and all would be
forgiven.
When you are with the Republican
bosses you're all right, but when you
think and act for yourself you're bad
man and the dogs are turned loose.

day and his fellow countrymen turned

nese were orderly. They formed process
sion and started to march to the grave,
when they were set upon and stoned and
beaten by mob of Boston men and boys
The outrage was without the slightest
excuse. and no doubt grew out of race
prejudice pure and simple. In view of the
course of events, it seems that it would
be no more than right for the Chinese
government to send a warship or two to
Boston and land marines to put down the
