If Major Andre had succeeded the lish would have made him a peer, and | Washington would have been defeated. | Id has been a © toady than George ilds was ever accused of being. The late Dean Stanley should have had more sense than to have allowed Field to use such servi snob bad taste as to impose the monument of 2 people whom hh trying toenslave. Tappan has become known nly through this monument; and it has been charged that the men who captured And were, instead of saints, mere outlaws and rob- bers, But that is no re ans should erect a monument to Andre more than to Arnold, who had be good fighter. Will Field have a very large window in Wi minster Abbey? Is that the dodge? Mr. Field might rather keep on training hi brother, S. W. Field, Justice of the Suprem Court, for the Democratic nomination for th Presidency, If some American has defaced | the Andre monument, it was probably because British spy upon son why Amer he had some ancestor sutferirg for his country in the Revolutionary War, and who was like- ly to be bought out by the rascal and spy Andre, Will a jury convict him in. this pantry ? Or how would it work if Mr eap hi Field should and patriotic work by erecting | a monument to Benedict Arnold, and become a personal guardian of his pets, as shown in our illustration ? The Convict Labor System Tur system a lopted in the prisons of this State of hiring out convicts to contractors for a mere pittance, and of bringing the labor of these miserable creatures into competition with that of the men who strive in an honest : a living for themselves and fami lies, is one that cannot be too strongly con- demned. The so-called representatives of the people in the Legislature of the State, whose THE JUDGE. nt appeals to honest workingmen” for their votes still ring in the ears of multitudes of men, have an opportunity now to show that they are in fact the “friends ofthe workingmen’ by destroying the system of convict: against the present is not U first Legislature composed of men who shoutey honest labor, But themselves hoarse in declaring, in the days he election, that their only hope in wl the poor and deserving th that the states- will turn their precedin, life was to betric sons of toil, we have little in Alba men assemble tention to tr Great corporations in. this and other States At over the profits derived from the labor of conviets in our prisons, and sho 1g out this monstrous con- system from the prisons of New York are waxing makers, harness-maki furnitureamakers, aud tho: constantly suffer through lack of work or low of the immense amount of work obtained from conviets at rates far below those paid to errand boys New York legislators have for a long time thre ned to strike system of contract labor in prisons, but have done nothing.

Year afer year the subject of putting conviet labor in competition with honest labor has been discussed in the newspapers, and by public speakers, and yet no man in a position tofight the system out of the State ha raised his | inst it. Perhaps the day may come when the branches of industry out side of prisons may become so badly shattered, that some legislator who really has the man- hood to stand up for his fellowanen will in wiping out the syste aver a , and become entitled to the everlasting gratitude cf thou- sands of honest workingmen who are now forced to starvation wages through the exist- stem, Is th at the pr is, Tue Junge will take gr ing his name to the public know and praise him ence of that s pre such a man in ent time?
