It is incidents of this sort reported from Iowa which makes people wonder wha it is prohibition Chronicle. lown's Convict Labor. During the week Governor Jackson and the executive council have boon at Fort Madison.

It seems that they have an exceptionally hard problem on their hands. It is over what employment shall be given to the convicts of the state. At present the state lets convicts labor to private contractors who pay therefor at tho rate of 50 cents per day per man. This seems an exceedingly small wage, and it would seem that the contractors should make handsome profit. Yet on account of tho exceedingly poor character of tho labor and the boycotts which have boori placed upon prison manufacture it appears that the contract is of doubtful profit.

At least the contractors have declared that they will not renew their arrangements with the state on the present basis and that the price must bo reduced to so cents per day. The question now confronting the executive council is whether this-offer shall bo accepted or whether the prison system of the state shall be reorganized so that tho men may be employed on state account. No specific suggestions of what, manner of work shall be taken up has been made, and the whole matter seems in the realm of uncertainty. Tho question of what to do with prison labor is one of tho most difficult which confronts a state. There has grown up a general prejudice against employing convicts to compote in the same vocations in which non-convict, labor employs itself.

The labor unions and laboring men of the country and state are practically a unit in favor of tho proposition that in their they shall not be compelled to moot a kot which is depressed by cheap convict labor. Vet what, vocation can be discovered in which they do not complete? Tho sake of the convicts, to say nothing of the rightfillness of having them provide as far as possible for-thoir own maintenance, requires that the men shut up in prison walls shall be made to do something. To herd them up in idleness would bo cruelty of the worst kind and would vastly increase the insanity per cent, besides further unfitting them for work and useful lives when their terms shall expire. Every stuto has boon compelled to struggle with this paradox, how employ convict labor, and at tho same timo not have convict labor coihplotc with other labor. It is manifest that it cannot be done.

Tho best which can bo accomplished is to sugar ppat tho competition, to render it as as possible by some omj lymont which is not generally followed in a particular state and which docs not therefore disturb tho labor market. 1 Minnesota abolished tho convict labor system number of years ago and her convicts were idle. Bub it was early soon that this would not do, and- that the men should bo compelled to do something, oven if that something was the more useless carrying of rock from one part of the prison to tho other. So tho next session of tho legislature, in view of tho fact that binding twine, an article essential to tho Minnesota farmers were controlled as to price by a trust which acted behind a tariff wall, started iu the penitentiary, on stateac- couut, a binding twine factory. This factory disguised as far as possible campetition with other labor aud was popular in that it was distinctly iu the interest of the largest single element of Minnesota population, the agricultural one.

Probably the best that can be done in Iowa is to have some penitentiary factory of similar character and make something which is not already made in the state, but for which there is a general Moiues Leader.
