The Duty of Connecticut Repub-
licans.
\l‘liaterer motive may have 'acluated the
Republicans of Connecticut who voted the
other day against the amendment providing
0: l.:.ic:-nial elections, there is at least no
doubt as to the purpo:cs of the Democrats of
that State. They have already heralded the
r~sult as a Democratic triumph, and have
begun to take the steps necessary to secure
the next stake in the game, which is the Leg-
. _ 'e to be elected in November. Not—
iding the fact that, in‘ both Legisla-
tures} which approved the amendment in its
preliminary stages, the Democrats were
unanimous in its support, there is new no
, doubt that the party placed itself in practi-
cally solid array against it at the polls. The
cluoeratic State Committee sent out circu—
lars in opposition to it ; the party newspapers
all opposed it ; and-it was understood by the
rank and filefllat the orders from headquar-
ters were to defeat it as a. measure of party
policy. W'th the aid of Republican votes
they accomplished their object. A new Leg-
islatureis in consequence to he elected in
November, and both parties have less than a
month in which to make preparation for it.
The Democrats we have reason to know are
already at work. The Republicans ought .to
lose no tlme. In this state of affairs we ask
the attention of Connecticut Republicans ,to

. abliei' statement of the situation.

 

 

For obvious reasons the Democrats are un-‘

usually anxious to carry Connecticut in No-
veln‘ 1880. It‘ is the Presidential election,
and the vote of Connecticut may be of the
last. imp' “lance to them ; and there is besides
a Unite; States Senator to be elected in Mr.
Eaton’s place. Last year they lost the Legis-
latu ud Mr. Barnum lost his seat in the

 

 

1‘82

Senate mainly through unexpected RepublF

~ can gains in Litchfield and Fairfield Counties,
the IVth Congressional district. These are
attributed by the Democrats to the popularity
of Mr. Miles, the Republican candidate for
Congress. and his personal work in the can-
vass. With that factor eliminated—there
being no Congressional election this year—
they believe they can recover their losses and
secure the next Legislature. This is of the
greatest importance to them, as it will give
them the opportunity to alter ‘ the election
laws to suit their purposes for the following
year. In 1872 they had this advantage : they
had altered the old laws so as to permit cer—
tificate votiugppened the lov'ver courts for pro-
miscuous and wholesale naturalization, and
throw wide the door for fraud. Having
fixed these things to their mind they had no,
difficulty in carrying the State for Tilden.
Their sole object as a party in defeating the
amendment was to put themselves in a posi—
tion to repeat the performance of 1872. The
next Legislature of itself is of no great con-
sequence to them. There. are not offices
enough falling in to reuse their patriotic ar—
dor, and the legislative patronage is at best
but tr'“iug. They want this Legislature not

 

for itself but. as a stepping stone ; a means to
an cud.
'c iii C‘ozulccticut Republicans to weigh

 
 

these 111 a thoughtfully, and consider how
much is at stake in the elect'on which has
been unexpectedly forced upon them. It is
especially incumbent upon those Republicans
who assisted in defeating the amendment to
see to it that the State is not lost ”this year
and next by their action. And we take leave
to call personally upon General Joseph R.
Hawley—who is justly recognized as the
foremost Republican in the State, and who
must bear the responsibility of having done
more than any other Republican to defeat
the amendment—to see to it that Republi-
can success and his own politic-31 future are
not put in jeopardy by this result. We hard-
ly need remind him that that “all his eggs are
in this basket.” If the Dcmocra:ic plan is
successful, and a Democratic Legislature
elected in November prepares the way for
Democratic success in 1880, either Mr. Bar-
izu n will succeed Senator Eaton, or the lattrr
will be his own successor. With a Republi-
can Legislature in November,and the ltll'CLlOn
laws left unchanged, an honest elecuun will
be assured for 1880, and that will bring in a
, l.-.ture which it is safe to predict will
a Ill General Hawley to the United States
- .te._ Had he been elected Senator lust
'inter, the choice of a Democrat to succeed
1.2m iu the House would have made a tie in
7'11: State’s representation, and in the event
vi the Presidential question goingjinto the
Iiouse, given the Democrats the majority.
It was imputed to lack of prudent foresight
and political sagacity that he permitted him-
self to be a candidate under such circumstan-
ces. I: will be a much more serious reflec—
tion upon his judgment as a practical politi-
cian if it turns out now that he has been
drawn into the support of a measure whose

 
 

3

practical Opera tion will defeat his own hon-

orable ambition.

It seems to us of the highest importance
that the Republicans should carry the State
in November, and that the work of the can-
vass—although only members of the Legis-
lature are to be chosen—should be immedi-
ately begun. The only danger is the old
one of general apathy. It takes a good deal
to wake up the 'Itepublican voters of Con—
nccticut, and theregis but'little time left in

' which to do it.——N. Y. album.

 

A ilichmond, Vat, organ ofpdemocracy
has discovered why the people of the North
bow down before Grant “and elevate him
as a god among them.” It is because “he
is; the embodiment of their rude and un.
cultured civilization. We must not expect
a people just from the plow handle and the
work bench, who have no traditional past,
no historical ancestry, but found all their
claims to consideration on the fiity lucre
they haqc been unfortunate enough to make
by book or by crook, to have any very
elevated ideas or discriminating tastes in
selecting the object they are to fall down
and worship,” How condescending it is
on the part of these descendants of noble
ancestors to remain in the same Union with
the uncultured people and mudsils of the

North. ,

COLFAX ON PRISON LABOR.

 

THE CONTRACT SYSTEM or courier moon?
msasrnonsgimu FREE Llnonnnvg

Mr. Colfax at the ’Keosaqua, Iowa, Tail-,2
September 251b, aftcr speaking of the ambient
and modern fairs and of the improvements
in agricultural machinery which render the
labor of farming less toilsome than in the
years of our grandfathers, discussed the
contract system of State prison labor in its
relations to the interestsof honest labor out-
side, as follows: ‘
“One of the most "difficult questions affect-
ing labor, and as yet practically unsolved, is
the injurious competition now existing and
constantly increasing between the contract
labor of criminals in our State prisons and
the labor of the honest worker outside, who
is striving to support his family, educate ills
f.lmily,cdueate his children aud‘ pay rent
and taxes out of the avails of his labor. The
former—our incarcerated convicts—~are work-
ed by contractors, who pay from a quarter to
a half dollar per day for each able-bodied
criminal, while the. products of this cheap
labor enter at once in our markets, into cont.
pctition with thfilroduets of the free and
honest laborer. who can spend on his family
and himself only what he can obtain from
the customer as compensation for his indus~
try. That this must cause discontent amongst
workingmen is inevitable. And any states-
man or publicist whocould solve this prob-
lem and discover its remedy—doing justice
on one hand to the state which imprisons the
cenvict, and cannot support him in idleness,
and on the other hand to the worker outside
the prison walls, who should not be compell-
ed to compete with. practically unpaid labor
——would be worthy of our sincerest grati-
tude. ' '
The able statistician who has given such
world—wide fame to the Massachusetts Re-
ports on Labor, says, in treating of convict
labor, most tersely and truly and even
axiomatically: ‘The interest of the Com—
monwealth depends on the best interest of
the men, employer, and employed,who carry
on the various industrial enterprises; and if
any industry is harmed by the employment
of convicts, it is the duty of the state to do
all in its power to remedy the injury.’
Although this able Bureau Office: doubts,
after all, whether any better plan than the
present contract system can be devised, I
think there is nothing more certain in the
near future than that the contract system of,
working convict labor in direct competition
with honest labor, ought to be, must be, and
will be abolished. It'is therefore a grave
duty to look this grievance squarely in the
face, and without excitement, considcr and

 

system less pernicious; in the enactment Of

which all philanthropic citizens of all parties

can co-operatc.
wk *

The contract labor in prisons, outside of
stone work, runs largely to wagons, chairs,
boots and shoes, hats, brushes, etc, and just
to the extent that prison work of that kind is
thrown on the market it must affect the we—
ges of workers thereon outside.

In seeking for some judicious remedy for
this pernicious competition, let me say that
the workingmen,who complain that free labor
is injured by the competition of criminal
labor, contracted at very low figures, do not
demand, as has been assumed in some quar-
ters, that the convicts shall not work at all,
and be supported by the State in idleness
during their incarceration; as they realize
that that would make taxation for their sup—
' port necessary, and ‘lessen much the dread
- among the dangerous classes of the penalty
for crime. The New York State Committee

* ill '0‘ III *

very many workingmenin all these compct-
ing industries, reported that the opposition
of the workingmen was to the contract sys-
tem alone, and not at all to industrial labor
in prisons. '

Nor do I see how there could be carried
out practically, the proposition of some labor
reformers, that contracts for prison labor
should only be made at the same rates paid
outside. For, as contractors could not be
compelled to contract, and would not regard
prisoners as nearly as filuablc workers as the
laborer whose wages go into his own pocket._
the failure to contract at full outside rates
might result in the idleness of the prisoners,
and their consequent support out of the state
treasury.

Some others have theorized that the evils
of this competition could be lessened by
adopting the suggestion of Major De Cane,
the Surveyor General of British prisons in
1872, that convicts should, as far as possible,
be engaged at work required by the govern-
ment, such as clothing and necessaries for
soldiers and sailors, furniture and fittings for
offices, barracks, etc.

Another suggestion is in the same direction ,
of an alleviation of this disastrous competi-
tion. It was made by Mr. Cornell,President
of United State‘s Hat Finisher’s Association,
which has suffered greatly by'this evil; and
was that branches of labor abroad, not yet
established in this country, might be judi-
ciously introduced into our prisons, thus
avoiding competition of criminal labor with
honest labor in branches of manufacturing
pursuits already established, andfollowed by
_ large numbers for alivelihood. '* * * *
Maryland enacted, last winter, that the pro.
ducts of their State'prisons must be sold

outside the limits'of the State. 'But this, by
no means, goes to the root 'of the matter.

For if all the states did the same, it would

finally result in the old system, except the
additional cost of a few miles transportation

on the produsts of each, to points outside

each State. '

It is evident. enough that some practical

plan, more radical than any of these I have

cited, must be devised. There is too much

public sentiment in the land, expressed in

the recent evidence Of Mr. Potter, of the

North Chicago rolling mills,.before a con-

gressional committee, who, with large expe-

riencc of himself working four thousand

free laborers, said most sententiously and

- most emphatically :
“i believe there is another thipg wrong,

anl that is to allow prison labor to come
into competition with other classes Of
labor. The idea of letting men to contrac—
tors at twenty -five cents per day, and com-
p'elling men, who are trying to make an
honest living and keep out of prison, to enter
into ccmpttition with them, is perfectly
infamous." '

And this indignant expression of one of
the leading men of Chicago—who is no
demagogue, but in earnest friend of the best
interests of honest laboreré, with a warm
healt and-a frank tongue—should be heeded
by our public servants, who have the power
I remedying this evil.

After thinking over this difficult question
for years to see if there could be some prac.
tical remedy for evils that it séems impossible
for candid men to deny,—a plan that would
be just to the honest workingmen, as well as
just to the State and its convicts, I realize as
palpably as anyone, that there can be some
objections presented to any and every prepo-
sition. ButIfeel sure that the least evil
would result, if the contract ' system in
prisons was abolished, and the convicts
worked under the authority of the Officers
with the proviso that their work should be
offered and sold in the open market at the
current rates for similar work produced
outside. The market price then would only
be affected by the additional products of less
than fifteen 1. nd convicts engaged
throughout the (1 States in manufactur-
ing. They could not be offered themes now,
by the contractors at lower rates than the
similar work of thousands of free labOTers,
all Of which would be disastrously depressed
by the underselliug of the prison contractors,
whose labor has cost them so little. To illus-
trate my meaning: There are six hundred
convicts in Massachusetts, manufacturing
beets and shoes. And, in the State outside
of the prison walls, there are forty-eight
thousand in the same industry. Thus, while
contractors, can, by their cheap labor, and
prison-made work, knock down the prices of
all this manufacture, by offering theirs at

 

devise as promptly as possible some other_

of 1871 on Prison Labor, after examining

a"

only offered and sold at market? prise! _:Ouf-
hundred laborers at living rates to “£633:

a fraction, indeed, of one per cent, and
thus end the ruinous competition, so depress-
ing the honest laborer,who is striving to earn
a living, and pay for a home for himself and
his family by the proceeds Of his toil.
Why should not, to use the words of an-
other, “the State run its own prison indus-
tries, so that the' State should have the profit,
and so that no goods should be undersold in
the market 1’" ' ‘ .
The system, which I have outlined, has
already been tried in the State prison of
Maine; and, I. have heard, with results more
acceptable by far to the industries affected
than theold sj'stelu._ It is also being tested
in some local and city institutions for the
punishment of crime. And several nations
in Europe are already considering it. But
if a better plan can be devised, I will be the
first to endorse it, and I am sure that no plan.
c in be worse than the present one. In con-
clusion, I echo and endorse that part of the
Report of the New York Prison Commission,
from which I have already quoted, that “the
c )ntract system of labor in prisons is bad,aud
ought to be abolished."

The President Speaks for the
Loyal States.
In a simple, forcible way, which might
well be imitated by the more pretentious
makers of “greatest efforts,” the President
sets forth the true doctrine in respect to the
powers of the general government ‘and the
State governments. He makes an effective

 

and speeches of President Lincoln. They
have a familiar and yet far off sound. Some
of us recall them 'as they came warm from
the pen Or the late President. We remember
how-they were accepted by the Union'sid‘e
of the controversy, how the upholders of
that side said among themselves, “If we
prevail in this war these questions at least
will trouble us no more.” Yet here they
are, almost as troublesome as ever. There
are even upholderspf ’the Union who seem
to have forgotten what Mr. LincOlu said, or
to be afraid or ashamed to repeat it. Yet
his position was impregnable. He carefully
cougervcd every just right of the States
,while maintaining the dignity and authority
of tbeUnit‘ed States. Is President Hayes
out of order, when he quotes President Lin-
coln ? If, the point Of order should be made
it would. be overruled by a large majority of
the people of the States 'whicb never joined

, Co-operatives Stores.

The general subject of co-operation was
brought up last week before the Social Sei—
euce Association by a paper upon “Co-opera.
tive Stores." It is greatly to be regretted
that Americans, particularly those who be-
lieve they pay too dearly for nearly every-
thing they buy, do not give more practical
attention to a means of self—help which else-
where—in England, partiCularly—‘bas been
very successfully used. The co-operative
store, of- which several specimens exist in
the United States, is not a costly or difficult
enterprise to go into. Five hundred me-
chanics, laboring men. clerks or farmers,
each with ten dollars which he is willing
to invest in a store instead of putting it into
the savings bank, could supply all the cap-
ital for, say, a well Stocked grocery and
provision store, name their own directors,
appoint a stor'e ke eper and buy of themselves
at Ifirst cOst only cost Of handling added.
They would receive dividends upon their
money in the shape of'savings in expendi-
tures; they could satisfy themselves about
the first cos’of every article of home con-
sumption, about the various grades of each,
and also upon such tricks of the trade as
they may have sufl‘d by. They could
sell tooutsiders at a profit, enlarge their as-
sociation until it could buy and sell for them
clothing, furniture and everything else they
needed. They could also, as they surely
would, learn of some of the at present un-
suspected ways by which the apparent first
cost of various articles is raised, and also of
the difficulty which every dealer has in ob-
taining careful and honest employee. Let
some of the victims of high prices try the

experiment.

Wily Mr. Tilden Can Never Be
. President. ,

You cannot be president, Mr. Tilden, for
a number of reasons. We will not here re-
fer to certain disagreeable events in your ca-
reer. because that would be unkind, and we
are now addressing you in the most friendly
spirit. We will not allude to your unfortu-
nate income tax suit, with its painful ad-
juncts; nor to the still more unfortunate ei-
pher dispatches; to your sOmetime relations
with the late William M. Tweed; her to
your relations to certain shipwrecked rail-
roads. It is far from our purpose to revive
in your own mind the recollection of events
which, nevertheless, are fresh in the public
mind, and which, as all sensible democrats
very well know, their opponents would, if
you should have the ill-fortune to procure
yourself to be nominated, take care to ad-
vertise abundantly to a public which,
though it may not be squeamish in its own
pursuit of fortune, is perhaps for that
reason, the more rigidly particular about the
character of its servants. It is not neCessury
to refer to these matters, Mr. Tilden, for the
truth is there are other reasons besides these
to prevent you from ever becoming presi—
'dent. You are undoubtedly an able man,
but your action in partisan politics is dis-
astrous to the party which you seek to
control. You follow your own career with
such unfaltering determination that you
notoriously forget everything else, and 8 p017
iticiau of whom it is generally suspected
that he means either to rule his party or
ruin it, cannot expect along continued suc-
cess. You succeeded once. You became
governor of New York. You ought to have
seen that this was properly the end Of your
career as an Mllee-holder.—Hera ld.

Celebrated Safes,

In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made. ‘ . .

1st. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the out above
where they are at all times accessible, an
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, whi‘ is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and belts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severé'fire, which saves breaking them open.

2d. 1‘ Our“‘~PATExT HINGED CAP” consists
Of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a. thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.

36.. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FqUR-VVHEEL Locxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.

41:11. All our Safes are IRON-LINED msmu,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together.
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre -
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a. complete list of our Safes exposed,thoso that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal-
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively

' proved the superiority of our Wes to resist

intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number Of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost mlifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom Of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard tO quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

And, in a voice deep and profound,
I said, “Why don’t you pass ’ern round?"

And then she rose
Upon her toes,
While I did fondly hover
Upon the step above her.
In vain;
That tram—
If I may mention it again-
Was starting,
Oh, why should fate so interpose
Itself between us and our bliss?
Her kiss
Lit on my nose,
Such was our parting.
——Boston Past.

*—
It WJS wcally due to the noisy band,
. For all that I heard was “Wobertson”;
I made my bow, she gave her hand,
And immediately wound the woom we
thpuu.

 

Her figure was beautiful, the was her face,
Her eyes were wadiant with ,gwatheful
fun ;
Her dweth was a mixture of pink and lace,
And her name (nth I’ve thaid) wath “Wo-
bertson.”

,I thlided in extathy here and there—
I never so enjoyed the delicious a twirl; -
It was cheerful to see the felahs stare,
And gwumble, “By George! what a beau-
tiful girl I"

Thwoughout the night I tlltuck to her thide,
And athked her widdles and played with

, her fan;
And I made her laugh till she nearly cwied;
For thometimeth I am an amuthing man.

It was weally a doothid bad cathe of love;
Thwobbing and theorching on my part
quite;
And she let me play with her wight hand
glove ,
Ath though, on my thoul, we‘d exchanged
our plight. ~

one! " ,

When she anthwered, “Not Mith, if you

The attempts to burifjbhiéf Justice Park's
barn on Lanral Hill,li§ve had theefl‘ectrto
increase the watchfnlness and suspicionszof
all barn owners in the neighborhood. ‘ Of
a recent evening, an old resident therefivhose
barn is located in a remote spot,getting heme
late in the evening, was alarmed, by loud
conversation near it and the striking of a
match. The thought of daring incendiaries
retarded him from making any invéStigation,
so be started off toward the city and when
on the brow of bridge bill. he shouted
“Police!” The neighbors: caught the panic
and a general bunting expedition discovered
the policeman paying strict attention. He
hurried to the scene. and still the loud talk
Was being continued. He was ordered to
arrest the parties. The policeman could see
no reason for arresting people who had com—-
mitted no crime, but that he mighgnot be
thought to be direlect in duty he followed
after them only to discover a gentleman and

. lady, and to hear the woman say in loud and

earnest accents, "‘John, I think you can do
better than to marry a Portuguese woman.”
He saw that it was a case where some kind
female friends or relative was trying to per-
suade a man not to miscegenate. But he
followed still, and finally stopping them,
inquired, “Is there any trouble lflween
you parties 1” “Oh, no!” replied the wo-
man. “Why are you talking so loud f” in—
quired the cop. “Well, you see, John is so
deaf, I took him out here to talk privately
_ with him about somelove matters.” “What
were you scratching matches for near that
burn ?" “Why, sir,” she responded, “we
had been talking there awhile, and John
thought he would look at his watch, and see
if it was not time for us to go home.” The
policeman asked no further questions, but
left them go on their way undisturbed.—

A recent trip of the steamer City of Ches-
ter of the Inman Line, from New York to
Liverpool, was enlivened by the wit of a
Washington girl, who was the favorite pas-
senger. In the same steamer was a young
English snob, who wore a suit of clothes of
very large plaid, with a fatigue cap to match,
a single eye glass, thick soled boots, spotted
shirt and loud necktie. He had that exasper_
sting draw] peculiar to English snobs. “Aw,
yaas," said he, in conversation with the
Washington girl, “I have seen considewablc
of your country. I have been to New Yawk,
Chicago, Omahaw, and other place, and it is
a gwate country, but you don’t seem to have
any gentwy in Amewica.” “What do you
call gentry?” asked the lady. “Aw, why
people, you know, who donut have to do any-
thing, you know; people 'who live without
work.”. “Oh, yes; we have .1011 people,"
answered the lady, “but we don’t call them

gentry." "Aw, theu,what do you call them,

The Hartford correspondent of the Spring-
field Republican says that the late Seymour
N. Case died possessed of over $100,000
when people hadn’t credited him with $10,
000. He commenced in the law office of .the
late Isaac Toucey as an ofilce boy, who un-
derstood that he was to have legal instruc—
tion to repay his services. After a few years’
study he set up for himself, when Toucey
presented him a bill of $100 for instruction.
Mr. Case paid the bill and then served a quid
pro 'quo in the shape of a bill of $400 for
services, in which was specified'the date of
every fire built, every time the office was
swept out, etc. Mr. Toucey paid the bill
and the two parted. It is but truth to say
that wblle each man died rich in wealth,
nelther was rich in friends.
