The Question of utilizing prison la
bor is one that has engaged the naiuds
of some of the best thinkers in the
world and has enlisted also the atten
tion of Philanthropists in all civilized
countries. It is not to bo lightly
dismissed from the mind then, because
perchance itinerant brawlers runy eelf
s.itisfiedly announce that one side or
the other is the right and only view of
tho matter.
The Mechanical population of this
country are justly very sensative on
this subject; but it 13 no part of wis
dom and does not condace to the gen
eral safety and welfare of society or
themselves to lay false metives and
false-reasonings before them, nbeut a
question thoy are s vitally interested
in.
Again other branches of business
have something to say on behalf of
their interests. The farmer, the Mer
chant and the professional man has
soma interest in this Government and
jn Society, they pay taxes a-! help sup
port the helpless and the criminal as
viell a3 the purely mechanical portion
of our people, and may also say they
have the right to buy where they
can buy cheapest and f whom they
choose.
Practically in our own State prison
labor has competed with no industry
except stone cutting'or stone breaking.
The wagon making, harness making
and shoe making have been abandon
ed as not profitable, in short the pris
on contractors conld not compete with
outside free and uotrammellcd labor;
but if they had succeeded in barely
keeping the thing going, the work does
not really csaie in coinpatilioii with
first-class mechanical labor outside.
Prison work is always inferior, always
sells for less than god work, always
sells to the poorest and least profitable
af a merchant's or manufacturer's cus
teeiers. What shoemaker in this town
would like to admit that ha c 9 to Id not
make a thoe that wuld please better,
lit better and suit better thau a prison
made shoe; or what wagon maker,
harness maker or any ether trades
men. The prisoner in idleness mast
be supported by the work and profits
of free labor uteido, always.
In the individual case of "Bass"
Stout as lie is called the State re
ceived over two hundred additional
cell?, free of cost as part of his
contract, said cells costingseveral hun
dred dol'rs each to build. Before the la
bor was let Nebraska prisoners cost the
tax-payers frera ninety cents -to over
a dollar per head, now they cost sixty
cents or thereabouts. All tho expenes
es of the prissH are paid for from their
work. The moral status of the pris
oner is greatly improved, and the chan
ces of his ultimate reform greatly in
creased by a system of regular em
ployment. It is not then a osc sided matter en
tirely bat viewed from the stand point
of the greatest good to the greatest
number, the prison labor system should
be thoroughly tried aad tested b6fore
a false a;id unjust feeliag is created
against its use p.ot its abuse.

A printer of Sullivan, says the
Progress, recently walked into a cer

learn who wanted anything in tho way
of advertisements, and noticed that a
drummer stood by the counter with
his valises ready to open. "Anything
you want to say in the paper this
week ?" queried tha printer of the man
behind the counter. "No," said the
business? man," I don't believe in
advertising. I wouldn't give a d a for
the advertising." The drummer wait
el till the printer was half way to the
door, and then slowly taking up the
sample valises, remarked: "Well that

not believe in advertising. I prefer

Polities, r.ad So On.
We havn't seen a Grant man yet
thateuid ho wouldn't vote for Blaine
if nominated; but there are Blaine
men who threaten they won't vote for
Giant, both at home here und abroad.
All ol Geo. William C's scratchers talk
it big, and some of the Ohio men.
Meanwhile Grant himself is in Cu
ba, writing no letters and paying bo
attention to his boom whatever; while
Blaine clubs are being open ed in ev
ery city in the Union. Which looks
the most like office holders and poli
ticians pushing their candidate for
ward? Tfe can take either man, Grant or
Blaine; we only want tho man we can
elect, and we know that Republicans
cannot afford mi usseemly squabble
over either; just let the people choose.
Meanwhile, sly as it is kept, a Sher
man boom is being very quietly, but
methodically worked up ia this State;
and the game is to lay low and let the
Blaine and Grant men quarrel until
they can Hgree on delegates, and then
slide in Sherman m:a from Nebraska.
So, you fellows, that won't vote for
this man and that rnan, better keep
your eyes open and your mouth shut;
maybe you can hear something drap.
State politics begin to buz a little.
It seem3 pretty well settled that most
of tha present ofiicers desire a re-nomination,
and probably will get it easi
ly, unless some bobbery is kicked Hp
between now and fall.
The dark horse of the Dundy-Thayer
contes t seems most prominent in
the field for re-electioa as U. S. Sen
ator. Just now Mr. Paddock seems to
haven serious opposition; but th
traditions ef Nebraska are with th
field rather than the "strong" man, and
Tipton is the only U. S, S., so far, who
ever succeeded hiiself.
Gov. Nance is about the only man
we can heir of as a probable candidate
Tor this high office; but candidates
may be as thick rs huckleberries on
the bushes of Pokono Mouutaiu before
the next Legislature meets.
The Governor, too, may find himself
in a "delicate situation," as the news
papers eay sometimes. If too pro
nounced a candidate for Senator, Le
may lose tke nomination for Gover
nor; and if renominated for Governor,
the boys may think that's enough for
leap year.
All the little and big fry of bum
mers and petty office holders and am
bitious county politicians will worry
tiieir wits ever these problems all
through fti'-tirae, and the young limbs
of the law all over the State will begin
to brush up and read Dan'l O'Connell,
and Burke, and Webster, and Grant,
and Garfield, and say to themselves:
T must go to the Legislature this win
ter; there's a IT. S. Senator to elect."
-meanwhile the Herald hopes and
prays the people will vote and instruct
Mr. Legislator, so that he won't have
half as inoch business on hand next
winter as the embryo L r now thinks
he has.
There's "Yal," we like to forgot him.

It has transpired that Mr. Carpen
ter is in negotiation with P. 6. Gihnore
for a grand production in Chicago of
his "National Hymn," which created
so much interest in New York City
recently when it was given for the
first time. If the negotiations are suc
cessful the performance will take
place during the Thursby conceit sea

New York, be the central figure of tho
occasion, and the intention is to give
it with a magnificent ensemble, hav
ing a specially organized chorus of at
least 200 voices.

They reduced the penalty from 40 to

The State Board of Agriculture met
at tho Withcell last week. You know
we told you that before, but we didn't
tell you how Judge Kinney adjourned
the meet in after calling ex-Pres. Mart

this wy:
The various members had discossed
and settled the number of stalls, pens,
houses, etc., needed, when the inevita
ble, all-pervading, ubiquitous epeed
ring rrgulations came up again, just
as the Judge had abandoned tho chair,
announcing that as ho did not feel
well and a friend was awaiting him,
he would call Mr. Dunham to tho
chair and retire for the evening. The
Judge stopped ia the door-way to bear
the suggestions about the speed purse,
and came back to the table to object
to any change. His arguments warm
ed him up, and he made quite a long
peech, ending with: "Now, gentle
men. I don't think you ought to change
this thing now, anyway. I waat to
be here when this Is brought up, and
I am not well this evening and must
go. We ought not to bo hasty in this;

fact, I think this meeting had better
adjuurn until to-morrow morning,
when we have saore time. I move, Mr.
President, that this mealing do now
fcdjoara until to-morrow at 8 o'clock"
and totally oblivious of tho fact that
he had vacated the chair, and that he
was doing all tha talking himself, tho
Judge coolly put the motion, as fol
lows: "It is moved and seconded that
this meeting do how adjourn until to
morrow at 8 o'clock; all in favor of
that, say aye. It 13 carried; the meet

MUMS LAW IK 2IAIN2.
'onl Dow'g OpinUn of the Trohloillon
Imw in Maine After a (carter
of a Century's Trial.
From a Letter of June lost.
To show conclusively tha position
which this policy now holds in. public
opinion of Maine, it ia only necessary
to mention the facts, that sinco 1951,
several acts, additional to tho Maine
Law, all in the direction of greater
stringency, have been passed, except
that in 1850, there was a general break
ing up of political parties, and one
came into power by which the law was
repealed, and license law substituted
for it. But at the next election that
party was ignomiaously defeated by
a tremendous majority, and the Maine
Law was re-enacted in a Biore strin
gent form, and wa3 submitted to a
popular vote, by which it was approv
ed by more than four to one, and since
that day there has been no attempt at
repeal. -
In 1S71, an act additional of greater
stringency than any which had pre
ceded it, was adopted without a dis
senting voice in either house; and at
the session of 1S70, a question came up
for the modification and the ameliora
tion of the penalties and the require
ments of the law, which wai promptly
defeated by the emphatic vote of 127
to 17. This latter vote may be fairly
considered as marking the present con
dition ef public opinion of this state
upon the whole principle and policy of
prohibition; and to- tho determinate
of the people to suppress tha liquor
traffic. Wo repeat here, what has bee
many times said before in documents
coming from many influential sources,
that prohibition to tho liquor traffic in
Maine has become the settled policy
of the state; that there is not any or
ganized or respectable opposition to it
in any quarter; and that no oxigsncy
is likely to arise which will induce our
people to abandon it, and to go back
to tho old, mischievous, wicked policy
of licensing it.
Ia many quarters In other states
and other countries, interested, ignor
ant or unscrupulous persona have in
dustriously circulated reports that
prohibition has failed in Maine, tha
place of iU birth. Thess reports are
absolutely untrue. No eircuinstaneo
frem the origin of the law to this day
has eccarred which can bo constructed
or tortured into a justification of them.
On the contrary, tho law has been a
great success from the first. "Were
it net so, it could not have won the
cesQdence ef tho people, and have
commanded their respect and urnj
support, ca it has to-day.
The liquor traffic, wherever it is tol
erated, lives only upon tho poverty,
misery and wretcheduets of tha people.
It degrades, demoralizes and brutifies
the people. It makes homes raiser
able beyond all power of expression,
which but for it would be peaceful and
happy. As that trade flourishes, every
legitiiaato industry languishes and
dies. In short, "tho liquor traffic is the
gigantic crime of crimes." Everybody
knows all this to bo true; no one has
ever attempted to deny or doubt it. To
license and establish such a ti ado by
law, is a horrib'o sis against God, and
a crime against tho common welfare
The people ef Maine will have none of
it. They havo expressed thoir opinion
of it by a stern prohibition ; and very
soon such farther pains and penalties
will bo provided for it as will effectu
ally and forever drira every vestige of
it from thi3 territory.

Licenses are constantly being rsreked

too, the causo is progressing. At th?
last election, of the 833 towns which
voted on the license question, 645 were

that would &onnt to 120,000,000.
which at sixty-five cents each, would
raake 373,000.000 ; so that assuming the
national debt in round numbers as 33.-
000,000,000, it would take a fraction
less than twenty-six days to pay it.
But this is, doubtless, a very low cal
