The county commissioners are in 8 quandary about the work of the prison ers at the Litchfeld jail. It seems that the caning of chairs has no longer any profit in it, as at the present time a prisoner can not earn over IS cents a day. The Litchield Enquirer advocates working the prisoners on the roads of the county, or more properly on a stone crusher and have the stone sold to various towns which build state roads. The Enquirer thinks that Editor Bolles of New Milford would not object to that. Working the jail prisoners on a stone crusher may be all right, but we can't get in mood of liking the idea of working them on the roads. It seems as though the punishment was too severe for any crime carrying jail sentence. It may be all right to sentence negroes in the south to work on the roads with . Winchestered guard to keep them in order. but we don't relish the idea in Connecticut where thirty days sen
 tence on the roads seem to smack too much of the old fashioned pillory and stocks as public disgracs. The pur. pose of the county jail isn't to disgrace and ruin person, and thirty days service with convict road gang would work more ruin to 8 white mans chances in this world than six months detention in jail. @
