The anticipated removal Of tha
danger of free wheat sent the price os
cash wheat-that being the quotation
above--upward more than 3. cents
These things are not accidents. They
are the inevitable results of the policy
OF free trade in wheat with Canada.
II IS peculiar that newspapers in
the selfish hope OF securing cheaper
pri7.t raper because of reciprocity, win
advocate a policy which strikes at the
root of North Dakota prosperity and
means ruination to the farmers of ths
state and every business depended IN
on them. Ten cents reduction in the
price Of wheat means the wiping ont
Of farm profits at the best and going
back to the days of grinding slavery
and mortgages.
The extra session of congress has
been called to fasten this calamity
upon the farmers of this state. It
hits every mans pocketbook. 1t takes
away every farmers prosperity. There
should be a united effort made now TO
present the conditions which face US
before congress in a way that the pres
ident and his advisers will pause in
their mad policy and give head to con-
ditions. If this IL not done, newspaper
subscriptions viii diminish, preachers
salaries will remain unpaid, banks win
have smaller deposits and no loans
merchants will have fewer customers.
the value Of farm lands will depreciate
and everybody will suffer.

CONDITIONS AT WORK HOUSE
DR.. Robin Makes Inspection

Union-special attention is PAID
to the dict of the prisoners, who
receive milk with cereals or meats
and bread and coffee for break
:ast; stews, fish or meats with We
getables and bread for dinner; and
bread, coffee, prunes or apple
sauce for supper. Each prisoner
is also given the privilege of or
dering enough fruit in season ONE
a week to furnish a daily supply
for the remainder Of the week.
That the prisoners of our county
workhouse are overcroWded is
hardly open to question, since the
very system of their employment
is one OF exploitation. The phil
cipal object is to derive as much
revenue from the prisoners as pos
sible, and the means adopted are
calculated to accomplish this par
ticular object. The prisoners are
hired out to a contractor who has
no particular interest in their well
fare and looks upon them merely
as sources of profit. Consequent
ly, conditions differ little in this
respect from those prevailing IN
any of the large sweat shops. The
workers are huddled together in
one large and rather poorly venli-
lated room, are driven to work to
their utmost by guards or fore
men and are further encouraged
to overwork themselves by a bonus
i. e., that in order that prisoner
may receive some pittance for his
work he must exceed the task
rom which the State derives the
profit. A more pernicious system
of grinding out profits from pris-
oners could not be devised and is
only akin to the system of over
time work resorted to in all sweat
shops. As purely punitive mea-
sure, this system will pass muster
with any of the hard labor" me-
thods employed in the middle
ages, but if the aim is at correc-
ton, we fail to see how such bru-
talizing exploitation can help the
reform. However, from the stand
point of tuberculosis, this sweat
shop system of keeping our pris-
oners employed cannot but help
the spread of infection by under
mining the vitality of the inmates
| on the one hand, and by the close
association of the prisoners on the
other.

The following letter written by
DR.. Robin, OF Wilmington, ap-
peared in the Wilmington Sunday
Star last Sunday. 1t presents the
situation in a conservative man
ner and coming from one Of his
knowledge will, no doubt, COM
mand serious attention.
A PHYSICIANS OPINION.
Dear Sir: Frequent references
to the prevalence of tuberculosis
in the New Castle County Work
house have attracted public atten-
ton and aroused the suspicion
that while generally exaggerated,
the assertions are more or less
we'll founded. Indeed, from our
general knowledge Of the causa-
ton of tuberculosis we may con-
clude beforehand that a prison Of
fers the most favorable conditions
for the development and spread of
the disease.
tuberculosis is disease of the
"shut-in", the undernourished, the
overworked and those with a gen
eral low vitality.
That the inmates are shut in y
is, of course, condition INSOFAR
able from prison life. 1t can be
and should be remedied to a GER
tain extent, but at best prison life
must mean confinement within
strong walls.
Overcrowding is a condition
frequently found in prison and is
admitted to exist in our work
house. Overcrowding means lack
of sufficient air space and conse-
quently lack of ventilation, and
therefore must be a potent factor
in the spread of tuberculosis.
That the prisoners are underfed
is shown by the low cost of main
tenance, to which, by the way, the
prison reports point with pride. y
At the present high cost of food
it is difficult to maintain a person
on s cents a day. The food must
be of the cheapest grade and lack
in variety, even if theoretically nu-
tritious. We all know how the
sameness in food pals on ones
palate and is thus rendered indi-
gestible.
In Massachusetts-a State thai
can boast of degree of enlighter-
ment on sanitary matters not
equalled by any other State in the

@N Aug. 20. 1851, was issued the
II order creating the Army of the
W Potomac and giving General
George L. Mcclellan command
OF ell the Union forces along the river
and as far TO the rear as Baltimore
and Fort Delaware. This was a new
departure IN American military organ
ization. Heretofore there had been
geographical departments with a ma
1Or general over each. but no attempt
10 create armies on the European
model. The new plan Of organization
into corps and divisions was brought
forward by Mcclellan and was op-
posed by General Scott, who contend
ed that the cd methods of brigades
and geographical departments were
good enough. Finally Mcclellan had
his way. and eventually his method
was adopted by all the armies of the
north He also had a new plan OF
staff organization which was adopted
II is not without interest that he ap-
pointed as his chief of staff his father
in-Iaw. Colonel X. b. Marcy.
While organizing his troops McClel-
Ian had also been terrifying Washing
ton. The man at the head of the en-
gineers was Major J. @. Barnard. after
ward briGadier general This depart
ment was reorga nlzed, and Barnard
was given charge of completing the
defenses of the capital.
One Of the earliest orders issued by
the new commander of the Army of
the Potomac WIS that no more gray
uniforms should be purchased for
northern soldiers. Hardly n fight had
occurred up 20 this time but that the
similarity in the uniforms worn in the
two armies had created confusion.
Many times Union troops had fred at
each other. At Wilson's Creek the
mistaking of Confederate troops for
Federals had caused the defeat of
Sigel's column and possibly changed
the outcome of the whole fight.
Danger From Beauregard Past.
On Aug. 20 Mcclellan wrote to
his wife: IF Beauregard does not at
tack this week he is foolish. He has
given me infinite advantages and you
may be sure / have not neglected the
opportunity. Every day adds TO the

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Relatively low pressures are still re
ported from the gulf and south Allan
tic sections, and rains have continued
from North Carolina northward along
the Atlantic slope to New England.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms
in the Canadian northwest and the
northwestern portion of the lake re-
gion have resulted from the north
western area of low pressure which is
central over Manitoba. Fair weather
has prevailed in the remainder of the
observation field. Owing to the prev
alence of nearly normal air pressures
to the westward and southwestward,
fair weather, without much change in
temperature, is indicated for this vi
Cinity tonight and Friday.
