. oo voyixi^ thftt tiio ftboiition ol the
contract system of working the
State prison convicts is attended by
serious perplexities and difficul-
ties. The abolition of the system
was carried a year ago to satisfy
the demands of the workmgmen of
the state, who claimed that it
brought them in competition with
cheap prison labor. But the s con-
victs cannot be maintained in per-
petual idleness; if not hired out to
contractors they must be furnished
with work within the prison walls;
and thiB requires an expensive out-
fit of machinery. The superinten-
dent has called for an appropria-
tion of $500,000 to begin with, and
it is said that the whole cost of
such outfit will be $2,500,000. The
three prisons, with a total convict
forco of about 5,000, havo ceased
to bo self-supporting, as they were
two years ago, and are now a dead
expense to the state, because a large
proportion of tha convicts are do-
ing no work. And thjs is not all;
the idle prisoners are growing res-
tive and insubordinate. There are
now 1,000 idle convicts in the
prisons, and the number will be
increased when all the existing
contracts for the employment of
labor expire. Idleness is the
parent of mischief in state prisons
as well as eisewhore, and if any
considerable number of prisoners
in the New York penitentiaries are
allowed to remain without em-
ployment, their growing disaffec-
tion may give the authorities
trouble. What to do with convict
labor is oneof the perplexing ques-
tions of the day. The man who
shall discover a simple and inex
pensive method for keeping them
at work so as to make their own
living, without bringing their labor
in competition with that of hon
est mechanics and workmgmen,
will have earned a strong claim on
the public gratitude.

Air amendment offered in the
Heuse to reduce the revenue tax
to 20 cents, from 25 cents, was lost
by a vote of 12 to 73, which shows
conclusively that the House is very
deoidedly in favor of-making the
tax sufficient to pay the expenses
of the state without a deficiency
It was a piece of demagoguism to
reduce the rate of taxation to
figure that was sure to result in a
deficiency. There is no occasion
for a high rate of taxation to accu
mulate a cash balance in the treas-
ury, but the rate should be high
enough to pay all the expenses ef
the government conducted econo-
mically. The people want an effi
cient administration of the affairs
of the state and they should be
willing to pay a fair rate of taxa-
tion for this laudable purpose. If
deficiencies occur they have to be
paid, and paid at a greater cost
than if a higher rate of taxation
had been fixed before the deficien-
cy accrued. . ( 'V '

leases of Indian lands will be an
nulled and the land restored to the
Indians. Afterward negotations
will be entered into for the pur-
chase of such lands as the Indians
may not need, for the purpose o
adding them to the publie domain.

by a vote of 12 to 11, our senator,
Mr. Knittel, voting with tho majori-
ty, Mr. K. has not done much talk-
ing, but be has managed to vote
right nearly every time. The bill
should by all means become a law,
because if it docs there will be a
reasonably fair chanco of getting
intelligent men in the jury box,
men who are capable of judging a
case on the evidence and who can-
not be bamboozled by fine talking
of criminal lawyers, whoso sole
aim is to defeat justice and have
murderers turned loose.
Those who are anxiously look-

production of proof that any offi-

cal purposes will be considered
suffici ent cause * for removal. The
News also says aspirants for such
places who bear this i# mind may

perhaps never know whether the
