Give the Roxs a Chance.

The strong expression of public sen timent in support of Mayor Gaynor s action looking to the suppression of the sale of the more dangerous kind of noise makers" in New York city is an indication of the drift of popular opinion. The safe and sane" Fourth is gaining impetus at an extraordinary rate. Apparently the time is near at hand when the American people gen. erally will wonder why the old-time racket. with risk to life and limb, was even permitted. Apropos of this sub- ject is some information supplied by the Springfield Republican with refer ence to plans for observing the next Independence day. Last year Spring . field adopted the quiet method and liked it so well that a similar pro- gramme will be carried out this year, with Improvements suggested by eX- perience. One marked feature of the quiet Fourth" is the prominent part taken in the proceedings by the boys and girls, who in this way are not only won from the noisy and dangerous ob- servance, but are interested in the cell ebration and given parts that are adapted to their capacity. and are fur nished valuable lessons in history and patriotism.-Troy Times.

Useful Prisoners.

For years it has been urged that county jail prisoners ought to be put to some healthful regular and use ful work for the good of the prisoner and the public. The one thing that the average rounder, drunk and incorrigi- ble individual needs-and dreads-is real work. That would be punishment to most prisoners. It is practical and humane way to discipline them and in culcate habits of decency. A hint of what is possible is furnished by the Windham county jail. A correspondent tells about it as follows:
 'In 1881, Sheriff Preston E. Sibley then jailer of Brooklyn jail conceived the idea of making the prisoners a source of profit instead of an expense to the county. and in accordance with that idea he persuaded the county to buy a lot of seven and three-quarters acres near the jail, The lot was partly peat bog. but mostly dry land which was covered with lodges and boulders: both parts of the lot being all right on which to utilize the work of the pris- oners. The peat was thoroughly un- der-drained. and the drains covered with flat stones. The stones were then vegetation could grow over them and then the rest of the lot was so thor oughly cleared of stones that none was visible. This made the unsightly lot a fine one, and with the addition of ma nure, it was one of the most produc- tive in the country.
 Upon two acres of the lot e35 bushels of potatoes were raised, and upon one acre 16e bushels of corn on the ear was produced in one year It is all in grass at the present time, and twenty tons of hay and rowen are raised per year. There is one tree standing upon the lot which is called the Giant Oak of Windham County and the sale of it has been refused although s1eO had been offered for it. Fine walls have been built around the lot, which work, together with the clearing and the tillage of the land, has been done by the prisoners. at odd times. so that the cost of all has been nothing to the county.
 The original cost of the lot was s350 and is now well worth $3,000. The jailers following Mir. Sibley have prOfited by his experience and fol- lowing his methods have purchased more land and are making it still more profitable. There is now no jail in the state that is run at so large a profit as the Windham county jail" Bristol Press.
