The Governor said he could see no reason why he should discriminate between the man who is sentenced to the House of Correction and the man sentenced to State Prison, simply because the latter sentence is for a felony. He would reserve the right to veto their recommendations and findings, he said. All petitions will be referred, the Governor said, except those where a convict is thought to be in immediate danger of death and prompt action on the part of the Governor is imperative. _Farming by Texas Prisoners._--Texas is to try the honor system among convicts in one of its prisons, says the Little Rock, Ark., Gazette, and is even going a step further by providing a profit-sharing plan to encourage prisoners in thrift and industry. Fifty white men have been selected for the test, and if the new plan proves feasible, it means that the entire prison system of that State will be revolutionized in the near future. The prisoners are to be assigned to road work in a county that is to pay $15 per month for each man’s services. Half of their earnings will go to the penitentiary fund and the other half to the prisoners. The county will maintain the men and, as no guards or overseers will be employed, it is expected that the living cost of each prisoner will be less than one dollar per day. Governor Colquitt has announced that preparations are now being made for the selection of another crew of 40 prisoners, who will work under similar conditions at construction work on Texas railroads. All of the men selected are young and have short sentences to serve. They will be placed under paroles while away from prison, but the paroles are revocable for disobedience.
