On the points of the bayonets came in the Conserve-
tiro member for Dorchester last week. Unpopularity
too great to be controlled by the police, and high-
handedness too angry to be content with special con-
stables, brought in a C.B. and two detachments of
soldiers to keep down an unarmed mob, meetly of
women. 'Teas • taste of what we might expect under
Imperialist rule had the Beaconsfield Government
been treated to • renewed lease of power; but fortu-
nately 'twat the last squeak of militarism for some
Dorchester is not won to the Liberal cause;
but the United Kingdom Is, and Dorchester Is out in
the cold by 42. There is one comfort—a constitution-
ally free Government wilt INIOn be in, and it will be
long before throe who have neglected to swear special
constables will have assurance to make up for their
shortcomings by military force.

If the Dorchester authorities fear the mob they bad
better guard azainet allowing houses to be huddled
together, and long narrow lanes to be multiplied. Let
the workiog clamed hare plenty of room for their
booms and IrSrdens, and they will give hostages te
=egad 'be quieted by the feeling that they have
to lose.

A Liberal Association ought to be formed without
delay, mid these entitled to votes put on the register
at the first opportunity.

When the blue crowd (blue is Liberal at Weymouth)
congregated in front of the Guildhall at the election
before the last, and swore to tear down the Working
Men's Club if the Conservatives had turned out Mr.
Edwards, a number of frightened persons wort t 3 Mr.
Supt. Vickery, to get him to use greater force. The
thoughtful superintendent laughed at them, and said
—"£11 these men have votes, be sure there is no
, for they bare had it their own way," and be
:ATLI irritate the crowd by unusual display. The
result proved he was right, for Mr. Edwards won by
440 or so, sad the people rejoioed. Mr. Erlwardes
policy has never been to strike men off the register,
his manifesto has been -" Mr. Edwards opposes ns
one," and the result is that all are his friends. Let those
who keep down the numbers on the register reflect that
in doing 13 they are creating a residuum of rtsn-voters,
who may Me% e no interest in prr-scrving the pears and
credit of the town.

It is the policy of haughtiness and want of consider.
Won by the bureautr.icy that has annoyed even the
visiting magistrates. The gaol visitors have been
neglected by Mc. Cross, left out in the cold while im-
portant enquiries were being made at the Prison, and
oven Conservatives don't like that. Let us hope all
than slights and snubs are about to be kicked into the
limbo where all wi.cn out stupidity most go, and that
Conesrvative magistrates may gratefully acknowledge
their obligations to a new Government that is courteous
and just.

TORY CONFESSIONS OF CORRUPTION.
Such a glorious Liberal victory has been won at
Shaftesbury as must console us for the narrow defeat
at Bridport, while whatever comfort mayrebseeined
from the" you're another" charge will be from
that the Tory mob at Shaft., far
rrpassidslinsed In their violence the yellows of Dorchester.
The victory is • surprising one, Shaftesbury being
understood to be under an influence Impossible to
shake off. But the puzzle is elucidated. The Tory
074rottick, constrained for once to frankness, thus
speaks of old Shaftesbury :
" Shaftesbury in the put has gained for itself an
unenviable notoriety for corruption; she has in fact,
been publicly placed in unfavourable comparison with
a certain pair of unfortunate cities upon which in olden
times brimstone and fire descended and destroyed
thins.
Dear, hear, Mr. Editor of the Chronicle, we fully agree
with what you say of the old corrupt town that
returned the Conservative, kfr.Y. Fans, B.S. Like the
possessed of old, who were sometimes compelled to
speak truth, the Chronitk involuntarily reveals the
cause of the change in Shafteebury's representation :
' But with regard to Shaftesbury of the present,
with the increased intelligence which education has
spread throughout the population, such an imputation
mast of course be without foundation."
Good again, Chronicle/ Shaftesbury old and corrupt,
worse than Sodom and Gomorrah, returns a Conserva-
tive ; She( te -bury new, intelligent, and educated,
returns the Liberal Mr. Glyn. We should'ut have
ventured t I put the case so strongly, had we not
quoted the words of the Chronicle itself.

ELECTION GOSSIP ABOUT WEYMOUTH.
"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin."
and they say the way Mr. Wylie carried his little chill
hugged in his arms won him in ,re than ever the hearts
of those who admired his politica. How the people
applauded when Mr. and Mrs. Wylie bowed t 3 all
around!
Those electors of the future, the boys of Weymouth,
had a good time of it during the contest. We should
not like to say bow many shilling i a day each boy lisd
for carrying boards. Mr. Wylia's boys ran behind
his carriage singing:—
" Wylie, he shell never ie,
Or else Bre hundred Weymouth men
Will know the reason why."
And Mr. Wylie is not dead yet. See his plucky I
address in our columns. Sir Frederic's boys were not
very enthusiastic in his favour; we heard of their
singing lines that sounded rather traitorous to the
Conservative cause. Some of the boys supposed to be
engaged for Mr. Edwards, sure of thole pay, went out
In good numbers to Greenhill to "doff," leaving their
boards appealing to the sky; but they came back in
time to shout with thereat. Even pay has not been
always enough to secure allegiance, for, as they say,
"Children and fools speak the truth," so when
enthusiasm was sought to be reused by one or other
of the parties for its candidate, Mr. Edwards's have
been heard to cry—" Who takes care of you in the
winter' And a joint shout of Mr. Edwar& r from all
three sides made them fed on COllllll3ll ground.
Sir Frederic had an uplifting by the juvenile' in
Mary-street, when a lot of youngsters ran and gave
his carriage a high tilt-up, rather shocking the hon.
member, who, however, took it in good part. Num-
bers of people who wore Liberal colours before the
declaration of the poll pocketed them then, and pro-
duced Sir Frederic's.
An old lady harangued the populace just below the
Burdon on" Women s Rights," and reproached the men
for being turncoats.
They soy that in Weymouth among those whose
windows were broken, was • tradesman formerly a
Liberal, who went round with the Dada Telegraph to
the Jingoes. Maiden-street suffered, also Royal-terrace
Rnd the Royal Hotel, and this was met by starring the
glaze of Mr. Wylie's committee rooms, of which he had
a large number—about a dozen in Melcombe Regis, and
half as many in Weymouth.
The man with the revolver failed t " Americinise
our institutions," though he threatened sh >oting, at
sight at ten o'clock at night.
-Lastly, from various quarters, and some at which
we are a dounded, has arisen

" A terriblo curs • '
Rut—what gfvoo rise
To no little surprise—
Nobody mama one penny the worse."
Everybody has been " told hie own,- and if • good
deal of self-conceit haa not been knocked out of no an,
tie our own fault.

"It Is gratifying to be able to state that the interest
which is taken by the public in the system first established
in this county, and the entetantial support which has
been given, kas enabled the exists to meet the very heavy
demand which has been made on its funds, the amount
paid for bread, £122, being larger than in any previous
year.
"The receipts and expenditure have bee. as follows t--

"The annual census of vagrants and tramps was taken
throughout Duvet on the 3rd inst., when it was found
there were 36 such persons in the county on that night.
"Seeing the very large quantity of food, amounting to
upwards of 64 tons weight of bread, which has been
supplied to wayfarers during the past year, it is evident
that there can be no excuse for bogging in this county, and
it is hoped that the authorities and the public in general
will continue to aid the society in their endeavours to
uprose the evil of professional vagrancy.*
The Catri,ws: This is a meet satirdsetory report. It
is • very curious thing which ought to be noticed—that
we have given away bread to the extent of six and a-half
tons at • cost of £12251. 4d. That is a remarkable fact.
and enables us to tell the friends who have given us their
small subscriptions that our excellent Me( Constable bas
well expended the funds. A curious circumstance which
I may mention I heard of the other day: a vagrant who
was apprehended had on him as many eosin bread tickets.
The Ilos. SECRETAZT, in reply to his LORDSHIP, said
cases of this kind were of frequent occurrenos. He
remarked they showed the public made tun of the tickets.
In reply lithe Rev. CAKR GLYN Captain AMTAIT added
the bakers gave only one pound of bread for any number
of tickets presented by the same tramp, and • vagrant had
to travel five miles before he became entitled to • fresh
strykLOYER suggested a tramp would hardly walk that
distance simply tor the sake of the bread.
The HON. SECRETARY. in SEWN' to Kr. FLOYRK, Sad it
had been usual to take the 000/MS of casuals under the
Secretary of States orders on the let of April every year,
but latxly that rule Lai been dispensed with, and the
census given In the report jut presented was peculiar to
Dorset. The census was taken last Saturday night. '
The IJHASLIOAR : I think we may safely recommend the
county to continue its subscriptions, to uphold the society
whose SOOCtill must be a source of great gratification to the
Chief Col:unable. (Hear, hear.) Captain Acoyatt has taken
great paitus in promoting the prosperity of the society. and
I see other coontles are following in our wake in regard to
the ayetom of relieving mendicity.
The Hoot. SECRETARY said that was SO, and instanced
Kent especially.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Kr.
FLOYEE, the report was unanimously received and
adopted, the same to be printed and circulated.
Itsference was 'made to the number of subscribers
removed by death, and a hope was expressed that the
vacancies in the subscription list thereby occasioned would
be filled up, so that the good work might be successfully
continued.

TOE STATE OF 'MINOS IN TOO reason.
Mr. IL B. MIDDLZION said: Though the Visiting Com-
mittee are not directed now to make a report to Quarter
Sessions, such • vary unsatisfactory state of affair. has
existed for some time at this prison that the Chairman haa
requested me to make a statement to the Court; and in
doing so, in order that the Court may understand the cir-
cumstances, it will be necessary for me to go into some
detail. It may be as well in the first plum to call the
attention of the Court to one of the
_prison rules which
were drawn up for the guidance of the Visiting Committee,
under the Prison Act, 1877. Rale No. 7 says that the
Visiting Committee " shall co-operate with the Commis-
sioners In promoting the efficiency of the service, and shall
make enquiry into any matter specially referred to them
by the Secretary of State or the Commisdoners, end report
their opinion thereon." What opportunity the Coos.
missionary give the Visiting Committee of cooperating
with them will appear lathe facts I have to state. On
ace inter 9th, 1879, in consequence of certain charges
made to the Commissioners against the Governor by a
discharged prisoner, no inquiry was held by two inspectors
specially sent down by the Commissioner,, but no notice
whatever of this enquiry, or of the fact that led to it,
was given to the Vielting Committee. The evidence
taken by these inspectors W 44 sent to the Home Secretery,
who considered the matter so serious that he thought it
advisable to institute • fresh edquiry. and for that pur-
pose requested Mr. Rodwell, Q IC, M.P. for Cambridge.
shire, to come down to Dorchester Prison, take evidence
again, and report to him. This enquiry was held January
28th and 27th, 1880, and also without any official intima-
tion whatever being given to the Visiting Committee. We
now understand that these two enquiries brought to light
• most unsatisfactory state of affairs among many of the
chief officials of the edam, and it was evident that with. I
out some radical changes among them it would be impoo '
sible to restore a proper state of discipline Though no
odicial information had been given to the Viadm
Committee the state of affairs had become the gossip of
the town and neighbourod, and at the first meeting
of the Visiting Committee, held January 12th. great
surprise was expressed at no information being given
to the Visiting Committee. It happened that ems
time before the Visiting C Amities had been asked
by the Home Secretary to make • report on the
state and discipline of the precis, and I was there-
fore directed to write to the Home Secretary saying that
we were preparing to make such a report when the circum-
stances I have referred to came to our knowledge. These
er,re given in detail and the letter concluded by saying
that it was the opinion of the Visiting Committee that it
would "be difficultaif not impossible, to get magistrates
of this county to undertake these duties, if they are not
IMO informed of occurrences that most vitally affect the
die ipline of the prison." In reply to this letter we
received an answer from the Home Secretary, in which he
said that "although the enquiry did not originate out of
we complaint or observation of the Visiting Committee,
be regretted that notice of ita being held was not sent to
them, in order that he might have had the advantage of
any evidence or information with which the Visiting
. Committee might have been able to furnish his com-
mission. Ile also said that he would communicate to
the Visiting Committee the report of Mr. Bodwell and
his decision thereon, and meanwhile would be glad
to receive any information on the subject. Imme-
diately after the letter I received another from Mr.
Cross, asking for an interview with one of the Visiting
Committee, and I accordingly went to see him, and, as
might be expected. I think, from the action be has always
taken, especially in the passing of the Prison Act of IM,
be was most anxious to support the Visiting Committee,
• and explained it was quits an accidental omission his not
informing the Visiting Committee of the enquiry held by
Mr. Rodivell. He at ones pieced in my hands the whole
of the evidence taken before him and his report thereon,
, and begged we to lay it before the committee for their con-
sideration before he came to • decision on the subject.
This was accordingly done, end the Visiting Committee
In a letter, dated February 17th, 1889, stated their views
to the Home Secretary, and the result has been quite in
accordance with the views of the Visiting
_Committee. By
• letter from the Home Secretary, dated March 6th, they
are informed that he has intimated to the Prison Com-
missioners his desire that the Governor be removed to
another and smeller prison, with • strong caution. That
Chief Warder Groves be transferred back to the
convict service, also with a caution; end that Warder
Seed be removed to mother prison, with such other
punishment—such as stopping his next turn of promotion
—as the Commissioners may consider suitable. Sinop this
letter I have received • further communication from the
Home Secretary that Captain Frith. Deputy-Govesheor of
Ooldbeth Yields Prison, has been appointed to be governor
of the Dorchester Prison. In conclusion, I will merely add
that the Prison Commissioners, notwithstanding the rule
quoted above. never on any OCCOSICO give make to the
Visiting Committee of the visite of their Manson% which .
take plea once a month, and moreover, that when meteor

of Colonel Henning, C. 8., a temperance meeting was
held in the schoolroom of the New Barracks on Twee
day evening, under the presidency of Staff-Sergt. Man-
Honest Militia. Mr. J. Stathan, Army Scripture
Reader, opened with prayer, and the Chairman mad*
a few preliminary observations on the claims of the
temperance movement, after which Mr. Sims organiz-
ing agent of the National Temperance Longue, dis-
coursed for an hour and a quarter upon the uselessness
of the drink for any of the purposes of life, and the
s benefits arising from the practice of total abstinence,
closing his address by relating a most touching episode
in his early life. The Chairman called upon those
ansiotup to sign the pledge, and become members of the
branch now about to be started, to come forward; four-
teen responded to the call and added their names SO
those of the 26,000 soldiers of the British army, who
have determined to show no quarter to an enemy far
more formidable than either Zulu or Afghan. The
mesta:V was a snore's, and it I. hoped that the branch
will do much to promote temperance.

general public, who could not find the word in
Webster; but they trusted the good taste of the
Lecture Society, and in spite of a short notice, the
attendance was pretty good. The monologue was by
Mr. Young, who also changed his dress to suit the
various characters represented. These were very
numerous and widely varied, and Mr. Young was
successful in 611 Among the characters were the
"ancient damsel, who wouldn't bear a treacherous man,

Tete CHIRA 111/1810N ART BISHOPRIC. -The Record
says;—"The Archbishop of Canterbury ham announced
his approval of the Rev. George Evans ?Soule. M.A.,
as Bishop Designate for the Mirdonary Bishopric in
China vacant by the death of Bishop Russell. Mr.
Monte went out as a Church Missionary Society
to Ningpo in 1867. The foundation of that
bkhoprn 1872 was the work of the Church Mission-
ary Society, and the result of much patient effort on
the put of the committee in surmounting various un-
foreseen difficulties that arose in carrying out the
scheme. Dr. Russell was called Missionary Bishop of
North China; but probably his successor will take the
title of Ms see from the city of Magna), where its head
quarters are, to distinguish it from the proposed new
additional bishopric of North China proper, towards
the endowment of which • munificent sum has been
offered to the Archbishop of Canterbury. This latter
bishopric will, owing to the— - sockty's &PProaching with.
draws! from Peking, not comprise any of its missions.
The important Church Missionary Society's work in
the Chekiang province will, of course, be under

all false pretences. He did not think it feedble that a
man with £4OO would want to defraud people of these
small amounts. He admitted offering the cheque end

no effecte in the bank
The jury found the jorisoner guilty.
Tbe prosecution did not offer evidence on the other
abates".
The prisemer threw himself on the merciful consideration
of the mut. He had, he said.been cruelly treated by several
prime in Weymouth, and one learned solicitor In court
knew he had got into this trouble through doing good to
other people. He had sold a house for £730. and the
solicitor had been putting him off, and did not complete
the purchase till the end of this quarter, whereas the
house was sold in August. He had been in prison three
months. He had asset had a stain maids chancey before.
Ile had bad all hie goods seised sad sold, and he had never
had a halfpenny of the money. The reason he went to
Jersey was that he went there to seek • situation, and yet
people wanted to make out he absconded. He did not
offer the slightest resistance when apprehended, as Mr.
Vickery had shown, and be had not given any trouble.
He supposed they wanted to kill him. He then threw
himself on the mercif al consideration of the Court.
The Chairman said the Court had some little difficulty
as to the sentence they should pass. He had ouly been
convicted of one offends, although there were several
charges on the calendar. Still as be bad not been tried
upon them the Court would put them out of their con-
sideration so far se the sentence was ooticerned. It was
a very serious crime to draw a cheque when he knew--
Prisoner: I did not know. I am ready to swear it.
The Chairman: Then you ought to have known. From
your appearance we don't think you have been in •
@miler position before, therefore be very careful you
don't get into Court again. The sentence we shell pass is
I am almost afraid a little too lenient, but we hope it will
make you more careful in the future. You will be sen-
tenced to four months' imprisonment
