Our Unwholesome JaiIs

There is great deal to be said on the side of open air employment for those who are sent to the jails of the state, Not the least pressing of the reasons is that of the health of the prisoners Society has the right to deprive those who break the laws of their liberty for the sake of the rest of the community, but the obligation of society by no manner of means stops with that act. It owes it to itself to have these creatures treated humanely both as to Icdgemept, sustenance and employment the mere chance that in this way one offender may be restored to the world self-supportIng citizen is not to be lost sight of for a second. Certainly a jail condition that develops disease is not to be tolerated for a longer time than is necessary to improve 1t.
 What Connecticut should do with it's jails. which at present are little more than vice breeding institutions, is to take them cut of the control of county commissions and place them under the care of central state commission. They can then be studied as scientifically as the prison is and the state reform atory will be. There is no excuse what ever for the county commissioners to be burdened with 8 task for which they are not fitted, or if any of them are, only after long apprenticeship. Pass the jails over to the state.-New Haven Journal Courier.

would out -Herod Boss Tweed, and plainly shows their desperate determina- tion to circumvent the quadruple cam paign.)
 But while this paper recognizes no summons to butt in and fight the na- tional battle, it feels constrained. in it's responsible capacity as guide, philoso pher and friend, to admonish it's con- stituency with regard to their patriotic duty ill the campaign, and it holds it. self qualified to administer such admoni- tion by virtue of close, careful and stu dious observation during other national campaigns past and gone. Hence, gen. tie reader with ballot, give ear: If you re just a common, ordinary citizen, it makes no difference which side you're on, nor who your presidential candidate is-get out and yell for him. Argue for him. Fight for him. Don't let your self forget for a minute that his election depends upon you, and that the fate of the party, and perhaps of the nation, rests upon your shoulders and depends upon the agility of your jaw, and that the whole republic will go to the demni- tion bow-wows if you don't neglect your own business to talk politics. Con- vince your neighbor. If you can't con- vince him, lick him; that will help the cause some. Wherever you go, talk politics-in the post office. in the store, on the.street corner, in the church yes tibule, in the highways and byways. Talk it loud and fast. Get mad. Shake your fist under the nose of the poor fool who doesn't see things as you do. Gall him traitor. Swear at him good and plenty-that's always convincing. If you talk lot he'll think you know; if you swear good and loud, he'll know you know Remember always that the standard bearer of your party has his eye on you and is chiefly anxious that you shall keep talking, making yourself obnoxious, and making enemies of your friends. The leaders of your party, the real managers and field marshals of the campaign, may not do that way, but that's because they don't know the poli- tical game as we'll as you do, and are neither so sagacious nor so loyal to their party, as you. Bear in mind constantly during the next four months, that un- less you, as @ common, ordinary citizen, succeed in convincing and converting every body else to your way of thinking, the whole bloomin' country will go straight to destruction next November.
