thk convict problem
One of Urn (frost problems which
awnita solution i*tht which is pre
•fiiiled by the question, what Is the
best method of dealing with eotiviels?
It is admitted that they ought not to
l>c allowed to remain Idle, not only
because thccx|>enae of muiutaiiiinif
them Is great, but slso Ivoiiee the
effect of idleness Is very demoralizing
Workingmen however, object to the
employment of convicts because It
tends to lessen the ralueof their labor.
It can be seen at at a glance, there
fore, that the problem is full of diffi
culties.
Gov. Alger, of Michigan, in his
last message to the Legislature, re
commended that contract labor in
the prisons of that Stale be abolished
ilis recommendation was acted on
lavorably, and a few days ago a bill
abolishing the contract labor system
was presented lo him for his signa
ture. Ho voloedthe bill, and he gave
as his reason for his act that when
lie wrolc his message he had not giv
en the contract question much
thought, but that while it was being
considered by the Legislature he had
studied ft carefully, and had reached
the conclusion that the contract sys
tem ought not to be abolished until a
better system was provided to take Its
place.
Iho frankness of the Michigan
Governor shows how full of diffi
culties litis convict problem is. Some
of the ltest minds of the country arc
working at it, and they think they
have done something towards solving
it. Time alone can show whether or
not they are right. When James I),
Fish, the convict banker, was admit
ted Into Auburn (N. Y.)pi'ion last
Monday he was Informed that over
400 of its 1,000 inmates were idle.
New York at one time was thought
to have the moat satisfactory system
of caring for convicts of any .State
In the Union. Her prisons were sclf
eustnining. The, labor organizations,
howovor, wero not satisfied to have
the products of convict labor com
plete with the products of their labor
and New York is now as unsettled
with respect to her convicts as any one
of the other States.
Tho best plan yet suggested ap
pear* to bo to purchase In the vicin
ity of the prison enough land to af
ford employment as farm laborers
for one-half the inmates and to util
ize the other half in constructing wa
gon roads and other public Improve
ments throughout tho State. The
farm, if woll managed, could he made
to support the ontlro prison, and the
State would got its roads built free
Ol coat—Savannah News.
VILLAINY EVrOVKI*.
A dispatch of the 7th from London,
England, says: The Pall Mall Ga
zette today prints an addition to lha
articles begun yesterday
which have for their object the
exposure of the growth of the trade
lit young girls for immoral purposes
The greatest sensation has been
caused by these publications. The St.
James Gazette’stigmatizes them as the
vilest obscenity gver issued from tho
public press or seen In public prints.
The books stalls controlled by the
firm of which William Henry Smith,
•ecrelary of war, is head, refuse to
soil either yesterday’s or to days
issuoortlio Pall Mall Gczettc, on ac
count oftho indecency ot these articles
Tito street sale of the papers contain
ing the story, however, day's editions
Qommand a premium. The matter
will be brought up in tho house ol
Commons this evening, when George
Augustus Bontinck will ask the home
Secretary whether means exist by
which to criminally prosecute the
author and publishers of the articles.
The (ilobe says it understands tlint
the crown lawyers recommend that
the publishers ot (ho Pall Mall Ga
aette be prosecuted.
This has created a great stir in Lon
lon, and the public generally com
mend the action of the Pall Mallei*-
netto in trying to suppress tlie-vile
traffic.
Mr. James Mulligan, of Miller
county, had a narrow escape from
being killed by lightning en Wednes
day. He was in (he plantation where
timber was pretty thick. While there
he leaned against a tail stump to rest
a while, ltut as tho lightning was
flashing about freely, he concluded to
move his quarters, and had gotten
about thirty toet from the stump
when it was struck hv lightning and
torn all to piece*. Mr. Mulligan was
knocked down, and for some minutes
was insensible. —Blakely News.
A FOIST OFDANGKH.
Mr. John Bright is of opinion that
Europe is driving headlong to dias
trous conflicts. Mr. Spurgeon boldly
declares that Loudon is more beastly
than were the cities of the plain. The
prevailing apprehension, beyond the
ordinary wars,of nationalities, is the
rise or rcvsult of the social element,
which loom up tremendously, under
▼arioufnames, indifferent countries.
We have heard a wise man predict
that the next momentous Kuropcau
conflict would hs communistic in its
nature and object.
It would not surprise us at all if
France, the seminary of ideas, were
to initiate this movement and set the
whole of Europe in a blaze. The loss
of religion and tho triumph of atheism
usually antedate convulsion in France
and recent events would seem lo de
monstrate that the Republic had be
come defiant of God. The material
elements of disruption are Summed
up In the Paris National thus:
‘•There are in France 38,000,000 hu
man beings who work hard from
morning to evening, ond who do harm
to no one. There arc besides in this
country 300,000 rascals who rob and
murder, and who pass by the name of
the army of wime. There are, fur
thermore,ln France 300,000 politicians
whose sole occupation is to excite
class against class, and whose avowed
aim Is the destruction of every exis
ting institution. With regard to the
30,000,000 of Frenchmen, nobody pays
any attention to them ; but the other
800,000 arc the object of the most care
ful solicitude on the part of the gov
erning classes. If a piolcssional male
factor commits a criminal act. every
effort Is made to save him from mer
ited punishment, and If a professional
agitator incites his fellow citizen to
pillage and worse, ho Is a privileged
being.”
This country has congratulated It
self that none ot the provocations to
social disorder exist here as they do
In Europe. But this Is a mistake.
The lame conditions arc gathering on
this side of the water and the same
dangers, In a modified degree, im
pend, however remote the explosion
may lie. At East and West hoarse
inulteriugs of a storm may lie heard.
Even now, in Chicago, a sinirlc spark
might fire an infernal magazine. We
believe that tlto most peaceable section
is the South—the safest from such
alnrtns—and that this fact will be pa
tent lo whole country in the im
mediate) future.—Augusta Chronicle.
CHICAUOUI SOCIALISTS.
Adispatcli of the sth from Chicago
says: President Jones, of tho Division
Street Car Company, has refused to
act upon tho Mayor's plan for settling
the dlfl'cronces with the strikers by
arbitration and the situation remains
unchanged. President Jones says it
is the Mayor’s duly to enable the com
pany to run its cars, and ho should
discharge that duty promptly or ad
mit that tie is either unable or un
willing to do so. in which case the
Sheriff or Governor could he applied
to lor protection.
To-day. at a regular Sunday meet
ing of Seeialists on the lake trout, the
burden of each speaker's eloquence
was the strike. The crowd
was usnaully largo and the utterance
was sanguinary. Second on the list
of orators was Jehu Henry. He said
lie felt that the time had come for alt
Seeialists and others who hated law
and order to rise up and bur ft and
kill. “How many of you have guns
and pistols ?"ho demanded fiercely.’’!,”
was answered from all parts of the
crowd. “Then get them ready,’’ he
resumed with an effort toward dead
ly siguiflanec. “In a few days per
haps to-morrow we may want to use
theny.” Tho speaker pointed out
amid great applause, how himself
ami liis hearers could march down
the boulevards, the highways of the
purse-proud and arlstocratc, and
sweep them from the lace ot tho
earth. He concluded by naming
prominent citizens and capitalists as
enemies to mankind, and with other
speakers of the occasion condemned
the strikers an account of their len
iency with their oppressors.
The strikers had learned of the
company’s refusal to arbitrate, and
seemed generally as they discussed
h* matter during the day to antici
pate a struggle in the future to which
that of Friday would he insignificant
by comparison.
Tlie Mayor lias issued a proclama
tion stating that as tho Division
Street Bailway Company has notified
h>in of its intention to run its cars to
morrow that the police must protect
tlie property of the company at all ha
zards. A renewal of trouble is fear
ed.

WHAT IS TIE CAI’&IC ?
Editors, as a rule, rarely ever agree, and
consequently arc continually st logerhead*.
Tbty will take up the same subject and dis
cuss It in their columns, give it a thorough
analyzing, show up all the points, and if you
will take their articles and compare them,
there will always be some point of disagree
ment. There are, of course, exceptions to
this as well as to all other general rules,and
we propose to giro an instance
Georgia editors sic unanimouHy of
opinion:
The editor of the Southern World, pub
lished in At ants, ssya: “I know the propri
etors of ItradlUdd’a Female Regulator, and
can vouch for their high standing in this
community. I also, from my own knowledge
can testify that it is a great boon to woman,
and his no superior, and every lady ought to
send for and read their book on female dis
eases, which they mail free."
The editor of the Milledgeriile Chronicle
says he considers Until tie Id's Female Regu
lator the greatest blessing ever discovered
for suffering woman; says he knows of six
ladies in bis community who have been cured
sound and well by its use, and be would ad
vise every suffering woman to use it.
From the editor of the Gainesville Kegle:
"I consider Btsdfield's Female Regulator the
best medicine ever compounded and offered
to th public for the diseases for wnich it is
recommended. lam well acquainted with a
lady who never had an? health until she com
menced using it. It gave her immediate re
lief, and from thgt time until now shs has
enjoyed tho best of health. I can say with
hearty good will, 'God speed Pr. Hradtield in
