The Rates of Postage.

Let the case be fairly stated, and we
do not fear The success of Mr.. Olds's
proposition to increase the Rates of Pos.
lage, Understand. then. that the friends
of Cheap Postage do not object to Mr..
OIds's fundamental assumption that the
POST Office ought to sustain itself; but
they do object to taxing exclusively those
citizens who send letters by mail to pay
The cost Of sending nearly as much more
free of postage undre the frank of Mem
bers OF Congress and other iunctionaries.
Make everything pay its share, and then
If the present Rates Of Postage won't
support the Mail Service, we are willing
TO have them raised; but woe TO those
Members Of Congress who vote TO let
their own letter and documnts 90 free
and add sixty per cent to the charge on
other folks letters, in order to defray the
cost. Rely on it, gentlemen! the Yeas
and Nays will be narrowly scrutinized to
see who votes for such unjust discrimin-
alton. But abolish'the Franking Privilege;
make every man pay his share; give the
plan fair trial; and then if higher rates
are needed, there will be no serious OBJ.

Cruelfy.

Yesterday afternoon was one ofintense
interest in the House OF Representatives,
The special committee to whom had been
referred the duty OF investigating the
charges OF cruelty, by Deputy Warden
Watson, upon negro convict in the
Penitentiary, made their report 10 the
House. This report and the testimony
we're read at the Clerks desk. They dis.
closed tale Of outrage and cruelty, such
as has never before been brought 10 light
in Ohio, and which. for the sake Of our
common humanity, it is hoped may never
fnd parallel in our history.
We will state the substance of these
documents, that the public may under
stand Ihe leading facts as they appear on
the record. The committee find that, in
March last. the negro prisoner was by
order Of Watson throne into dark cell.
with no floor but the earth, that the bed
and all the bed clothes were removed, that
the cell was at least seventy feet from the
stove. that after he had been thus con,
fined for some days, w atson ordered him
out. had him stripped 10 the skin, and or.
dered one of the guards TO give him ten
asheS with a cat. This was done with
such vigor as to cut the back severely,
and cause the blood to flow. Alter the
whipping, he was put back into his cold
dark cell, and in that condition, without
bed or bedding, he passed three days,
when Watson, again took him out and
whipped him severely, himself. Again
he was put back. his shirt covered with
blood, 10 pass three days of suffering on
the ground. The third time he was ia.
ken out and whipped with the Cat by Wat.
son. The fourth time he was taken oul
stripped, and told that it he did not con,
Iess he had stolen the money, which Wat
son claimed had been stolen from him. he
should be whipped every day until his
term OF Imprisonment expired. The ne,
gro, during all these hoggings, protested
he knew nothing of the money. lie was
not hogged again, but for sixteen days in
the cold weather, with no bed but the
earth, and not particle of bed clothes,
he was kept confined IN darkened cell
and fed on corn bread and wafer,
The committee had two physicians
members of the House, called 10 examine
the back Of the prisoner, who reported
that it was badly cut up; that twenty
prominent gashes through the skin were
apparent; that his injuries, together will
his exposure, would have been sufficient
10 have produced The death Of person o
only ordinary endurance.-O. S. Jour,

THE ENGLISH QUARTER OF GRAIN -
There is some misapprehension existing
as 10 the quantity ofgrain contained in an
English quarter. 1t is eight bushels, but
not eight Winchester bushels which is our
measure. The quarter contains eight
imperial bushels, about eight and quar-.
ter OF our bushels. The Winchester
busheI was the standard in England until
1926, since which time the Imperial bush.
ell has been the standard.
