IS UP TO THE LEGISLATURE State's Executive Would Like to See Every "Trusty" Dolnfl Something for Benefit of State. The proposition of "what shall wo do" with our convlotB," which has been troubling tho governor for some time, seems to have been partially solved during tho last week, says a Lincoln correspondent of tho Omaha Bee, when a deal was mado with Secre tary Meljor of tho State Fair board (or the employment of a few of them In making improvements at tho fair grounds. For somo time Governor Aldrich has been trying to study out some plan which would keep the convicts at work and at tho samo time not coma In contact with union labor. Ho Is strongly opposed to any plan which will bring the convlot Into competi tion with the man who labors on the outside. "In another year," said tho gov ernor, "I hope to have every convict who can bo trusted employed in such a way that it will bo better for tho stnte, the community and tho man himself. Tho state owns lots of land, and I propose to Inaugurate a plan to put just as many men as possible to farming. I have two objects In view In doing this. First, it will be a eourco of revenuo to the state, and second, it will give the convict a chance to learn a line of employment wheroby, when ho has served his term, he can go out on a farm Sway from the temptations of the cities, and find employment which will be beneficial to him and keep him out of mischief. "I want to see a system effected, too, which will separate the first termers and tho younger men from tho old timers and the vicious. Wo ought to use every means possible to keep the young man who may have) fallen under temptation in which there wero oxtonuatlng circum stances from coming in contact while In charge of the state with anything or anybody which would tend isto make him worse. We should have a system which would make men of our convicts and not criminals. "This plan, I understand, has been in vogue in Florida, Colorado and Oregon with success, and I would like to see It put Into effect in Nobraska, Tho success of this plan will depend a great deal upon the next legislature. A great work can be done by our convicts upon the roads of Nebraska, but it will depend a great deal upon what means the legislature will pro vide for putting them to work. Condition of Treasury.
