UNNECRSSARY EXPENDITURE. ‘The Secretary does not beileve that the expedt- ent will be adopted of an enlargement of Govern- ment expenses simply to expend money raised by taxation, when tue public weal does not other- wise call for the expenditure. He 1s of tae opinion that both bond buying, except for sinking-tund Durposes, and governmental exp nditure in excess 0¢ the needs Of Gove.mment shouid be rejected, and that REDUCTION OF THR REVENUE FROM TAXATION is the only Mit remedy for the evils which threaten the country.

A PROPOSED REFORMATORY. “A large number of prisoners convicted in United States courts are those who have committed but a ‘Slugle offense and who have but commenced a career of crime, If they could be prevented from associating with hardened criminal, and not con- fined in an institution which in every way sug- festsac tminal life, many, perhaps, could be re- formed. Besides, many are’ young inen who have held positions of trust and responsibility, and who, through temptation, have committed some crime yainst the laws of ‘the country. These and the class referred to above should not be confived in a rison, but the Government should provide a sulia- le F-formatory, where proper influences could be thrown around’ them and thelr reformation ef- fected, as 18 done now in several States “The bill which was presented to Congress for the appointnent of a commission to inquire into the advisability of huilding Government penitenuiaries and a reformatory was adversely acted upon. Nevertheless, I believe this subject is of such im- tance that favorable action on it should be cen at once. In addition to all this, it would seem that the United States should have model Prisons and reformatories of its own in which to confine its criminals, and provision could be made for the employment of the inmates at some suita- bie industries on a system of labor which would not violate the recent act of Congress, nor be 1n- States und to provatlng opinions "lative fo ae prevailing ve to Subject ot contract labor. JAM, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. “During the past year an agent of this Depart- ment carefully examined into the workings and ‘needs of the jail in this District, which resulted in many beneficial ¢ To nearly ali the rec- ommendations made, the warden gave his hearty approval, and he 1s co-operating with the Depart. ment to properly carry them out.

Needed improvemeats are now going on which wil tend greatly to their comfort, It 1s, however, only a temporary relief, and the absolute need of an additional wing oF bt for the femaie risoners will surely oo investigation commend if lo Congress. The grounds owe whe Jail at present are open to the public, and 1t is with dim- Guilty that commuatcation from the outside with fhe Inmates is prevented.

When twelve months old s inmp appeared om her heel, which slowly grew larger. ‘The family physician thought it was caused by a Piece of broken giase or needle, but failed to bring anything to light. ‘The child became feebier all the time, s-eming to love the use of her leg, and finally quit walkingentirely.
