WASHINGTON GAZETTE FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1885. SUBSCRIPTION $2.00. 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.

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.
