More Arkansas Reservoirs.

The favorable consideration given
by the Colorado house to the Meserve
bill for continuing the construction
OF state canal No. | is highly com
mepdable, aud this measure should
certainly become law.
The construction of this canal and
its connected reservoirs will do no in
jury to anyone. since they merely in
volve the storage and profitable use of
surplus water that now runs to waste.
But they will bring into cultivation
nensely to productive possibilities of
the state.
At the same time the prosecution
of this work will afford IA satisfactory
solution Of the problem of what is to
be done with the inmates OF the pen
itentiary 1t is waste and cruelty to
keep these men idle, and rank injus-
tice to arIange their labor so that it
will compete with that of free labor
outside of the prison walls. But the
construction of public works, such as
bitches. reservoirs aud road offers the
b st and most reasonable solution of
the difficulty In this way the work
of the convict is profitably directed to.
ward the benefit of the entire state
aud no one is injured by 1t.
1t is to be hoped that the amount
necessary to set the convicts TO work
on canal No /. will he promptly APP
propriated aud that this will be the
beginning of regular policy of using
the convicts for work of this char
acter. ! Pueblo Chieftain.
