Contact system Criticised.

The house committee on Jackson
state prison has made report in
which il severely critlcises the con
tract system in vogue at that institu-
| ton. Fault is found with the price
at which tn convicts' labor is sold,
and the recommendation made that
the present contracts be not renewed
ommended tat the board Of control
consider the lesirability of setting the
| convicts at work. manufacturing bind
er Irvine or wire fencing on state ac-
| count. This question of the proper
manner of working convicts is an old
one and has bothered plenty of Michi'
gan legislatures before now. Unless
miss my CUES it will be bothering leg
iSlatures lon years in the future. The
committee WIS unanimous in its rec
omendation hat $4,000 he appropri
ated for a lew cell block to replace
the one thathas been in use 80 many
years that is pronounced by the
committee not being a fit place IL

While il boks very much as If thu

that the legislature will find it abso

md demanded a general law
and the indications now are that while
a general law will be enacted, the
measure will not meet the views OF the
most radical supporters of the reform.
After the Psnnsyivcnia Law.
In all probability a law fashioned
after the Pennsylvania statute Will be
the only one that can hope to have
the approval of majority OF the
senate This would do away with
township and county conventions,
leaving delegates to be elected by d
rect vote of he people, but would pre-
serve the present system OF congress
sional, legislative and state conyen-
tons, township and county officers,
too. would be named by direct vote.
IL developed at recent meeting OF
the Legislative Farmers club that a
majority of the members of that or
ganization are opposed TO the enact
ment of the extreme measure asked
for Notwithstanding the attitude OF
the state grange and state association
of farmers clubs In the matter 1t
will doubtless be several weeks be-
fore the subject is finally disposed OF
and lots Of things may happen in that
time. Thus far Wayne and Kent
counties have been given primary laws
quite to their liking apparently, and
| elections will be held in those coun'
ties under the new system next month
An interesting fight for the pres
ent week is looming up in connection
| with the Holmes bill requiring sure
| ties Oh LIQUOR bonds to file schedules
| of their property, the object being tC
do away with the numerous straw
bonds that are now in existence in al
parts of the state. AS a counter prop
osition it will be proposed tina
surety company bonds be accepted II
these cases, and there is pending il
each house bill providing for the in
corporation of surety companies 70
this purpose. 1t will be fight 4
the finish between the temperance ele
ment and It's opponents and 1t is like
ly that the former will win. 1t gen
orally does in Michigan.
al Better Results Hoped For
{, The bill which seeks to bring ele'
tric railway companies under the SUI
ervision of the state railroad commits
sioner is making fair progress. VI
successful attempts have been mad
in previous years to pass this measure
but better results are hoped for tn
year now that the extension Of electri
lines has brought the necessity fC
supervision to the attention of the pc
pie. There seems to be no reason Il
the supervision Of steam roads tn;
does not apply with equal weight

are practically a law unto themselv
so far as regulation is concerned.

ports that in January Of this year the
Michigan earnings aggregated $3,126,-
1852. This is an increase OF per
cent. over the earnings OF the CORE
spending month of 1901, when the jan
uary record was broken. 1t Is an In
dicauon or the vast volume or busi-
ness Tat Is bring transacted In this
country and evidence OF the fact that
tie vIiume is increasing Instead or
decreasing ms some have predicted.
The Cannon bill which provided for
the taxation Of bank stock in the as
sessing district in which the bank Is
located instead of where the owner
has his residence, failed of passage IN
the senate by very narrow margin.
Another attempt will be made to put
II through that body, the belief being
that II would have easier sailing In
the house. The friends OF the Dill
think 1t would serve to make 1t no
object for owners OF large blocks or
the stock of city banks to take up
their residences in an adjoining town
ship in order to escape the heavier
tax rate of the city, and thus also es-
cape their share of the burden OF
Weeping up those city institutions
which make the stock in question

Ill
The Rev. DR.. Geo. E. Lorimer, of
New York, whose Sympathies are eVi-
IDENTIFY with the democratic party, in
a recent address before the Patria
Club. OF New York City. speaking of
said:
The proclamation signed by Abra-
ham Lincoln gave freedom to. the
white man as we'll as to the black. A
great many men now doubt whether
or not it was best to give the freed
man the ballot. l apprehend that the
black man to-day is on the verge of
very serious complications. re-
member reading a short while ago that
a certain political party intended to
get control of the entire Negro vote.
l thought to myself that, that might
be good politics but it was not good
sense. Once you get the Negro con-
WINGED that he has the balance of
power, he will have the balance of
power not only at elections, but in
the political party to which he is al
lied. Then you will have in the
North as well as in the South a lily
white party.
If such a thing should come to pass
the people of the North would become
disgusted and vote the democratic
ticket rather than tolerate it. The
Negro vote should not be massed in
one party, and if it is we may look
forward to what we are all anxious
TO avert. Race antagonism through
out the land will rend this country
and cause untold suffering to the Ne
grOes in the country"
This is strange language from a
disciple of the meek and lOwly Jesus
and it discovers all too plainly that
the white clergy Of the stamp of this
eminent New York divine, need re-
baptism in the principles of justice
liberty and equality-that a christian
minister should lend his great office
and his greater influence to the dis
semination of the monstrOus doctrine
that because men are black and hold
the balance of power politically they
should not be permitted to exercise
1t is indeed cuSe for serious reflection
and it raises a question as to the
commences of the religion of these
alleged followers of the Man of Sorrow
who in his life and work taught that
all mem were equal before God The
Negro has the undoubted right to
mass HIS NOIo Oh JnS sue Oh In6 poll
ucal party which will guarantee to
him the protection of the law and his
civil and political rights no party ex-
cept the republican party has yet put
itself on record in favor of giving him
these rights. The democratic party
IS unalterably opposed to granting
him political equality as its record
for more than sixty years will show.
II has gone out of its way to en-
phasize its bitter and implacable op-
position to the Negro and through its
representatives in Congress and of
the press, its purpose Ito keep the
Negroes face in the sand" If the
Negro divides his vote could he in
view of these facts give his allegiance
10 the democratic party North or
South? The Northern wing of that
party, by its cowardly silence has
gwen its assent to the cold-bloOded
butcheries of Negroes at the South,
and its dastardly onslaught upon the
constitution in the insane hope that
the new constitutions Of the South
VIII permanently deprive the Negro
or the franchise. Great wrongs even
when condoned by so eminent man
as Dr. Lorimer and defended by such
men as Senator McEvery and others
