GEORGIA CONVICT SYSTEM.

Georgia pursues the plan OF hiring out
its convicts to the highest bidder. When
the bids were opened on Thursday it was
found that the average price the State
viii receive for its convict labor is s22514
each. As fifteen hundred will be hired
out the State will receive s33S,119. Thu
Constitution says the net results will be
nearly If not quite $250.000 a year. The
high price bid for this labor was a great
surprise. Heretofore with 2,1G0 c%onvicts
the State has received less than $50, zoe
per year. Hereafter Georgia Will receive
nearly three times as much under new
contracts for one-third less ~convicts. Tn
der the new awards only thirteen con
Wet camp systems will have to be main
tanned. Heretofore there have been
twenty. This Will materially reduce the
expense. Commenting on the new leasing
OF conyiots, the Atlanta Constitution
says:
The Georgia penitentiary has been
placed upon exactly the same plane as
other State penal institutions OF the bet
ter class, the only difference. a. we have
heretofore taken occasion to point out.
beng that here the conNicts are, as a
rule, gwen out-of-door work, while in TIE
pcnItcntiarieS of the Northern States they
are worked inside stone walls. The abuses
OF the old lease system, saddled upon the
State in the reconstruction period, have
been eliminated and this result contri-
butes largely to the d~esirabiIity Of con
Wet labor.
With the short-term c~onvicts engaged
in road-buliding under the supervision Of
the State authorities and the long-tcrnl
conFlcts contributing, through the hire
OF their labor, large sums to the school
fund, the penitentiary problem may
rightly be said to be approaching the best
possible solution for the convicts and FOR
the State"
1t would seem that the Georgia plan
OF hiring out convicts by bid Is the most
profitable to the state, but the bess
opinion is that it is not the Hisest or tie
most humane. If the abuses OF the GA
lease system" have been eliminated" IN
Georgia that state has done what no 9TH
CT State that leases conricts to private
parties has succeeded in doing, and it may
he that they will break out afresh

The CANAL JOB,

The Nicaragua canal was delayed TWEEN
ty years by the trans-continental railroad
lobbyists. When Huntington died, the
prince OF lobbyists passed away. The rail
roads had to try a new scheme to pre-
vent the construction of the canal. Then
they suddenly changed front and clam
ored for the Panama canal. An act was
passed to dig it. Columbia refuses to per
NIT its construction in the way Congress
directed. Didn't the railroads fcresee that.
or procure it? The canal is in the far
distant future, and it IS doubtful whether
any man now living will sail through it
TO the Pacific ocean. The whole thing Is
a job.

SPECIAL PRIVILEGE CONFERRED,

The Supreme Court of North Carolina
decided yesterday that if a man happens
to be a judge he is entitled to exemption
from the taxation imposed upon common
mortals, 1t is now in order for the judges
to put on gowns and wigs, make their
tenure one for life, double their salaries,
and cut a wide gulf between judges and or
binary folks. II it is right or lawful to re
Quire to lawyer or doctor to pay tax on
his 81, 2O0 income and exempt a judge on
his 5000 income, 1t IS a species of special
privilege, having no warrant in reason
and is rank official favoritism and plain
injustice.
As long as judges continue the law to
exempt themselves from a tax imposed
upon all others, they will be using their
high office, consciously or unconsciously
TO grant a special privilege to a class, re-
pugnant to the spirit of our laws. OF
course the court has precedent in the ac-
ton of other judges in other States who
have twisted the law to exempt them
selves and others who draw public salaries
from paying their just share of the ex-
penses of government. But, we submit.
that the proper way to construe the law
is by justice and not to be governed BY
presidents based upon the monarchical
conception of office. This decision Of put
ting the ofGce-holdcr above the man is as
bad and is based upon the same funda-
mental error that makes Hoke ". Hen
derson repugnant to the spirit Of the
American Republic.
The income tax law applies equally TO
all persons, private and official, and the
decision annulling that tax as to officials,
Is equivalent to declaring that we have
an official class among US above the laws
and exempted from taxation. That i
class privilege which would not have been
tolerated by the men h believed in the
declaration, equal rights to all and
special privileges to none"

They are an insult to the Catholic

sacrificing and unobstrusive priests

are more than brother to him.

Prehistoric Time, or deoadent of
the Darwinian type, they at least
can remove Damien's picture from

for Damien needs no pictures nor

coming cycles of time when Brig
