THE TREATMENT OF CON¬
VICTS.
Now that Governor Gordon Las open¬
ly rebelled against the convict ring, any¬
thing in relation to the subject upper¬
most in the public mind may ba read
with interest certainly and pertiaps with
profit.
Other states besides Georgia are deal¬

Uie. convict,
‘‘AtE?mja-, N. Y,, an account is
kept with each prirojer. He, is charged
with his clothing aad Ids board, and
then is credited, with whatever he earns
over aud above the cost of his keeping.
HC can in this way do something tor
liimseifto earn liis own livelihood, and,
although a convict, he get3 a hint of
what it is to be an honest man- If he
does not do his work well, or is waste¬
ful, he i 3 fined If he is careless about
his clothing, needlessly wearing it out
and destroying it, he has to pay for it.
This tends at once to make him more
diligent and more careful. His sense of
forethought and prudence is constantly
appealed to. ne is also being reminded
of the time when his term of confine¬
ment shall cease. It is made possible
lor him to be laying up something
not a large amount, to b® sure, .but
something with widen to start life anew 7
when he gets out. The goods thus
manufactured are not enough when
thrown upon the market to affect in any
appreciable way the cuneut puces.
This system, which has been tried ex¬
tensively in Great Brit-a 0 , and to a con

A CHANGE IN THE REGISTER
With the last-issue of -the Regis¬
ter, we commenced the publication
of a paper dispensing with “ready
prints.” Except for a short time
when the paper was first establish¬
ed, and a few mopths in 1880, tlie
Register has always used a read
print on either the inside or outside
Hereafter everything it contains will
be printed in our office at Cames¬
ville. Instead of the eight page
paper that we have issued far several
months past, we have reduced it to
its former size, that is, four pages
of seven columns each. Becoming
satisfied that our readers prefer the
paper of its present size, printed at
home, to a larger paper with a pat¬
ent inside, we d eciaed to make the
change,which is a considerable saving
of money to us., We have also re
duccd the priee to one dollar per
annum- We are sure no one can
complain at the price, and believe no
reasonable man can find serious
fault with thc\ cpntents of the paper*
It is to the interest of every good
and progressive 1 citizen, to have a
paper ... in Ins county, and ^
prosperous

ifctcrcst in extending our circulation
as are engaged iw boosting papers
prinldd at a distance, we could make

ted I our
pectatio'n's, and are grateful' to the
people of this, and other comities for
their patronage and words of cheer.
We believe, however, Uiat the ex¬
pense we have incurred, and tho la¬
bor we bestow upon the paper, do
serve a more liberal patronage than
we have yet received, We hope
our subscribers will interest
,
themselves in extending our circula¬
tion, and that they will from time to
time furnish us with such items of
local news, as will be of general in¬
terest to our readers.

THE PRESIDENT.
Vetoes The Texas Charity Rill
A bid was pa»seil by Congress ap¬
propriating ten ffibnsand dollars j to
the relieve the drouth stricken suf¬
ferers in western Texas. The Pres¬
ident has vet*ed the bill, because it
was a measure of charity and it was
not within the province of Congress
to afford relief. If farmers are to be
relieved from the effects of drouth
persons suffering from the effects of
storms, floods,.shipwrecks, fires, and
eyoryflii ng calculated to arouse
sympathy, would be entitled to ap¬
propriations also.” Th* drain would
be absolutely without limit, and the
government would soon ho bankrupt¬
ed The Texas sufferers have tho
sympathy of humane people every¬
where, and ought to have prompt
relief, bni the national government
cannot appropriate funds to relieve
their sufferings.

PREDICTED HIS OWN DEATH.
As William J. Martin sat in his
borne at 406Be»ver avenue, Alleghe¬
ny, at 11 o’clock on Sunday morning
in apparent good health, he remarked
toll is sister
“I don’t know why, but remember,
I believe I’m going to die at 12
c’clock.’’
“Why, what a, foolish idea,” said
his sister, ‘You are very far fiom
being in a dying condition. You’re
better now than you have 'boon for a
good while, and will live for many
years yet.”
“It’s not because I feel' sick,” re¬
plied Mr. Martin, .“but I can’t get rid
of the idea that 1 will be dead in less
than an hour/'’
Half tn hour later Mr. Martin foil
back in hi# chair, and after eonvu
siVely gstsping for breath for a few
ininiites,' expired "TTyBfefittM were
summoned and pronounced death to

A GUST OP WIND
The Eloridians are in a state of
mind over a remarkable occurrrcnee
on the St. John 1 * river.
The other day a schooner was
quietly sailing along, a few miles
below Jacksonville aud the pcoplo
on the shore wer6 languidly watching
her. It was a perfect day. No
suggestion or hint of a storm had
been made. Scarcely a breath of
air disturbed the tropical forest# that
bordered the majestic live
Suddenly aud without tlie slight¬
est warning, a gist of wind descen¬
ded from tho clear sky. With one
tierce whirl it lashed the water into
a white foam. The large schooner
was lifted until its keel rested light¬
ly o* the surface of the water. Then
sli* was twistod round like a styaw,
aud turned upside down.
The whoio thing was done in lets
than fiv e second*. All on board
perished .There tvas not time even to
leap from tho v*8»cl.
Immediately the waters resumed
their level smotliness, the sky re¬
mained , cloudless, and there was not
not tlie slightest indication of a
breeze. Tho landsmen who wifncssi
ed the horror was paralized with
amazement and terror. So • far as
Florida is concerned, the disaster is
phenomenal, and perhaps wfthout a
parallel.—Oonitstution . ■ -.i

The problem of production is on
the way to solution. What now
agitatea the mind is the problem of
distribution, and the Knights of La¬

for the entire race. They reason cor¬

lowest social stratum, they will raise
ail other strata. It ( s thus that they

URIED PEOPLE
A dispatch from St, Paul if inn.,
wys: Col. J.H. Wood, of this city
has received the bodies, of person*
a man, a woman, and three children
taken from tho Bad Lands Dakota
by a minor. The bodies ar* simply
dried up. They are not. petrified,and

The labor movement has nothing
to do with the.theol#|ieal views of
men, but duals with scoular question,

w r ho would arouse religious hate in
the ranks of labor is an enemy to the'
human raco. Watch well the man
who springs tho religious wrangle in
th* concils of labor. Either he has
not as much sense as a mud turtle,or
lie is a villain. What folly it would
be to permit religion* intolerance to
disrupt organized labor! What a
• spectacle it would be to see the mas
ses wrangling over theology while
their wretched familiea were starving
for bread.— Southwest Fort worth,

HENRY GEORGE.
Henry George advoqato the re¬
moval ef all rettrictions upon {he IN
quor traffic and the abolition of all
taxes upqn the stuff itself. This,
policy, he thinks, would “make liquor
exceeding cheap,” and remova the
.temptation to adulterate it.
, H 9 w f a social reformer can wish to
*make liqnor any more plentiful than
it now is, is as great a wonder as how
a economist \ believe
that relieving fiswtig alion any ar
tide of almost universal use will pre¬
vent its adulteration. Mr. George’s
theory of putting all the taxes on
land, and relieving the personal pro¬
perty and buildings of tho rich from
nssesment^unffed with the plan for
making^ liquoy cheap and plenty,
must certainly ,be regarded as a very
singular way to go to work to bene¬
fit the working people.— New York
