Two Wings.
A Problem Equal in Difficulties to That
of the Airship.

In 4 recent interview, Mr.. Bryan
defined the plutocratic wing of the
Democratic party as the one which
works and legislates for corporate In
terests, TO whose mind money is every
thing, and human lives nothing.
Everybody knew what Mr.. BRYAN
neant when, at the Holland Society
dinner, he referred to this plutocratie
wing. but there was a desfe to hear.
ium explain it in so many words. ana
this, Of course, he was quite ready 10
do.
1t Is an ancient saying that money
has wings, and in the present political
situation the problem is how to attach
these wings to the Republican ele-
phsnt or the Democratic donkey SO
that one beast or the other may soar
s.oft in majesty to the purple peaks
CT victorious power 1t is true that
iGther the donkey nor the elephant
vas originally intended for aerial
progress. but that does not diminish
the faiTh Of the inventors that the ex-
pertinent will succeed this time.
The difficulty, however, lies in the
fact that neither beast has more than
enc plutoeratic wing. Mr.. Bryan has
defined that of his own party. A plu-
tocratic wing is also in possession of
the Republican party, and has been
causing some lutterment for the past
few months. 1t is more or less ex-
plieitiy stated that this plutocratic
wing may secede to the opposite party
end leave the Republicans plucked
and sore.
The problem Of uniting these two
wings for the use of one party, or of
making either one of use without the
other, Is bothering all the sages. Mr.
bryan seems TO think that the silver
wing and the gold wing of his party
may be made to flop harmoniousiy,
but It Is hard to see how that is posi-
bic, on a slxteen-to-one basis. No
bird that ever lived could do anything
but spin round like a cockchafer if it
tired to fly according to that princi-
pie. There are persons, names un-
known, who are said TO believe that
the plutOcratie wing of the Democrat
&c party can be grated somehow on
to the Republican party, but that also
seems beyond eredibility. As a scien-
titic problem the whole thing is worse
than the airship.

Convict Labor.
North Cardinals Solution of the Con-
vict Labor Problem.

VIZ IdDOl EAODtCAl
North Carolina has apparently
found a fairly satisfactory solution
for the convict labor problem which
has been bothering the country. We
all remember the disturbance which
has been created at various times By
the conflict of convict labor with out
side industries. Most of the South
crn States set the conviets at work
upon the roads, plan which, if car
red out wisely, is a good one, since
working on the road Is thing which
most farmers extremely dislike, for
good and sufficient reasons, and which
must, nevertheless. ne done. In some
Southern States coal mining Is carried
Oh by convict labor But North Caro-
lima has a new scheme.
Three-fourths of the convicts are
placed on large plantation owned by
the State, and raise cotton, corn, pea
nuts, sold for cash, and wheat. hay,
end fodder for the State farm use.
Until this plan was evolved it was
necessary to appropriate every year a
large sum for the expenses of the
State prison. Under the present sys-
tenn it is making money-II cleared
100000 IN the last two years. 1t Is
said that the free labor of the State
finds this plan acceptable, and that no
abuse or cruelty is tolerated.
There is no reason for believing
that convicts in any State could not
be made to labor on a State farm, on
which they could raise practically all!
the supplies needed for their use, and
prepare them for consumption. 1t is
not, Of course, desirable that the pro
ducts Of this farm should be sold at
prices which would interfere with the
farming industry of the country, but
it takes a great quantity of corn, veg
etables, and meat TO feed the inmates
Of a State prison, and all these could
be raised on the ground by the cor
vjcts as well as not. The prison might

he devoted himself to the rehabilitating

Porter was compelled to take up arms,

the same time in establishing himself
