Matrou johnson of Sing Sing prison
has caused lamentations among the con-
victs under her charge by deciding that
the little children In the prison shall be
taken from their mothers and sent 10 the
poor house. The mothers of these little
ones have the same love for their chill
dren that other mothers have, and this
proposed separation has driven the
mothers nearly frantic.
Warden llnbbell Is authorized by
statute tn send these children to the poor
house II he chooses. None have ever
been sent there, and Mr., Hnbbcl is op
posed TO the scheme. Miss johnson.
who is said to be an elderly maiden, has,
Il is said on good authority, obtained
permission from the State Prison In-
speetors to carry out her designs.
The ahtr has caused much excite
ment In the village, aud Miss Johnson
radicalism is severely commented on.
The children who are ia the prison
were born there after the arrival of theil
mothers.
The matron has been In charge of Tho
female prison about year. Before sh,
vent there the former mat.on allowed
the "yelled murderes," Henrietta Robin
son, to take her meals 10 her cell. Mis-.
JOHNSON denied her this Indulgence, and
the result was that Mrs. Robinson die
not eat anything for three or four DAYS
AZ the end Of that time she was a maniac
She was soon atlerWard sent 10 the Utic,
asylum, aud still remains there, rayinl

If those of Gods creatures, we call

the weather II Is common to give them
credit for, Spring aas come, and come to
stay. For weeks now the wild geese have
been winging their flight northward, the
black birds have been chattering Ia the

are singing bllthely, while the frogs have
added their shrill piping to the welcome
all nature seems TO give TO returning

Though we do not voucb for the entire
accuracy of the statements In the article
from the Philadelphia Press, which We
print on our third page, we know that
they have q basis of truth and that Mr..
o'Byrne did propose to secure at least a
delay In their punishment BY such an
appeal to the Supreme Court as Is sug-
gested, on the ground that the punishment
Inflicted on criminals Of this class in our

According to the arbitrary distinction
which marks the different periods Of the
year in this latitude, Sunday was the
first day Of spring, and delightful day
1t certainly was. Altogether the winter
season, which Is popularity regarded as
having terminated on Saturday night,
has been very mild, and for this we
should be devoutly thankful, eel eclally
when we consider that the secretly Of
employment must have add'd to the
prlvsuons Of these who deg nded on
heir daily wages for their diily bread.
1t n hoped that the season Oh w hich we
have Just entered will restore l. BUSINESS
activities which, will give nt~ lie and
buoyant hopes to all who delight ia reap
ing the fruit Of honest industry To this
we certainly look forward with cont
denee, and in all parts of the country the
indications are that the good time coming
is nigh at hand VIXEN our highest hopes
will be abundantly realized.
Generally speaking, the months OF
January, February and March might
more appropriately constitute our winter
s,asou, and If the Old saying be correct
that when March comes in like lamb ii
goes out like a lion, then we may look
fer some sharp weather before our wint,l
season in reality may be considered at ar
1 end.

We print some remarkable crill. |
eisms on recent acts Of the Adminlstra- |
ton. which appear 10 the current numter
of Harpsr's Hsskly, an earnest Republi-
can paper. They are but sample, how
ever, OF the character of the criticism
appearing in nearly all the leading papers
Of that party which maintain any real
Independence, and they should be read
with care by men Of all parties, and not
only with care, but with a judicious and
thoughtful consideration Of the direction
In which they tend, srd the direction,
also, In which they do NOT tend. For Re
pablleans to conclude that they are the
utterauees Of enemies and soreheads"
and unworthy Of serious consideration,
will be prejudlclal to the best interests Of
the country and suicidal for their party,
and for Democrats to conclude that they
will suddenly open the path for their
party TO POWER will be an equally unwise
conclusion, prejudieial to the interests of
good government and preparatory TO a
huge and bitter disappointment.
The men who are now losing confidence
in the Republican party either lost their
confidence long ago In the Democratic
party, or else never had any confidence
Ia 1t 10 lose. II, then, greed of political
leaders for partisan triumph and power
again forces these men to make their
shoiee between the two existing political
organizations the probabilities are thai
they will, where there is, from theii
standpoint. 20 little choice, go far as the
hope Of reform lie concerned, let prejudice,
affection and habit control their vote and
east 1t for the very men they now arr
eritclsing. The only way in which thil
growing opposition can be made effective
lie to not compel this choice, and as thl
prospect is very small that this will b,
done In 1876 the probabilities are tina
she real contest will take place in rs an,
40, by which time this blind reRehinl
out in the West after something not y,
clearly defined for the remedying Q
abuses very distinctly felt, will hav
formulated and crystallzed into powe
which will be, for the time, at least IRE
sistible. Still the march of events ma
be mare rapid than appears probabl
from the outlook of the present.

The advantage OF our dual system Of

this, when every sign Of The times points
