A I'HOGKKSSIVE PEOPLK.
In a recent laano of the Japan Dally
fa lt pnbllahod at Yokohama , there ap-
'peared ' an article relating to the dopreaiod
'condition ' of trade In that country. The
main ciaae aialgnod for the depression la
the policy of that country In regard to iU
trenllM , by whloh the trade haa vlrtnally ]
panned Into the control of foreigners.

ccesloiis on the latlcr'a part ahull bo ex
tended to British aubjoota without rc-
{ ultiug from them the aamo concotaioni.
Th's ' ia certainly a jug-hanulo treaty , nnd
It in hut natural lhat the Japanese ahould
begin to complain concerning it. Kng

that tholr cyos nro turned to Iho UnlteJ

knowledge of civil engineering ,

The conlost over the construction ol
the Denver , Colo. , public building , ID
which were Involved the question of im
porting of "foreign" stone from Indians
and the employment of convict labot
in event the contract should bo awarded
to Dralnord & Co. , of Chicago , aa recom
mended by Supervising Architect Boll ,
waa formally determined to-day b/ Sec
retary Manning , ao far at least as those
two laanoa are concerned. Ho decided
that only Colorado atone should ba used ,
and that convict labor wonld not bo tolerate -
ate on any government work. Never be
fore In the history of the government 1ms
any contract been awarded to par
ties i employing contract labor , and
iho proposed innovation raised a
storm of Indignation throughout
the country , which , reverberating
throughout the corridors of the treasury
department , found substantial echo nt the
White houso. When Assistant Secretary
Pairchlld [ declined to entertain a protest
against the nao of convict labor iu a con'
tract awarded the lowest bidder for con
strnctlon of Iho Peoria public building ,
ho was not aware that the policy of the
government had always been to encour
age nnd clovato froa labor to the exclu
sion of compuleory labor performed bj
poraona Imprisoned for crime. As a mat
ter of law , however , Mr. Falrchild wns ]
compelled to decide that ho found au
thority which permitted the department
to Intervene on thla account alone , whore ]
the contract had boon duty awarded nud
signed. 11 sd the fact of the employ
Jmcnt n of convict labor boon known prlot
"to the nwnrd the contract ivould not have
been approved by the eocrotary. There
Is aomo feeling in the Secretary's '
ollico concerning Iho action of the
supervising nrchltoct on the cjn-
vlct labor qnoetion , which , It is
Jaaid , ought never to hive been thruat
upon thu administration In the n.ituro of
anlesuo which involved such momentous
public consideration. The supervising
'architect's ' oflico , following tlmo-houorod
precedents , should have ollpulatod nbso-
jlululy that none of Iho government contract -
( tract work ehould bo performed by con
vict labor , and had this practice boon ]
enforced Secretary Manning would not .
bavo found It necessary to ovorrnlo hie
subordinate ) oflicors. Had the litigious
aud stubborn Mullet occupied the posi
tion of supervising architect 111611 the ]
'question ' was raised ho wonld have de
cided promptly and energetically agalnat
any proposition which brought honsat
labor Into competition with convict labor.
Whatever may bo ellegod against Mr.
BInllott , ho was always the friend of
honoat labor. As matters now stand ,
the convict labor question has been agl
tatod sufficiently in this all'ilr to make
trouble for the administration nt Iho ou |
suing elections In Now York and Ohio.

James llobhisoti was probably the king
of the trade. Joseph Whoolock , tin

the career of bis friend during a visit he
pa'd ' to England about fifteen years ngo.
Uobinson had boon engaged at a salary
of $2,000 a week to rldo in Astleya Royal

Io amnao himself no took over with
h ni n team of American trotting horses

ta bring such horses as ho wonlc
uecd to ride. This oversight rather
tstonlahed the English managers , who
thought tholr contract , of coarse , in-
: Indod the fnrnlahing of horses. .Robin-
ion made light of the matter , and said
lo could break the animals to his liking
n the fortnight Intervening between his
irrlral and the date of his debut. There
iras nothing loft for the managers to do
.han to swallow tholr dtinppolntrnont

rehearsed dcy after day with skill and
iBaldulty , but to find at laat that they
voro bcnats far Inferior in Intollijonco

vhich ho waa accustomed to deal.
The night of the first appearance of

Abiio of Convicts In Uoorgla ,
The Aclanta , Ox , correspondent of the
Charleston News writes : "Tho Hon.
