From the Boston Post. !


Chapter LIT was New Years morn
ing. He had been thinking deeply for a
day or two, and there was Spartan look
in his face as he sat down to breakfast.
He was unanimously quiet, though he
said he never felt better in his life.
Chapter II.-Rising from the table he
drew forth his tobacco box and said to
his wife:
Hannah, I'm going to quit the
weed"
MOI
"Yes. am. I've been slave to the
disgusting habit for forty years; but now
I'm done with it, Come here, darling
Hannah"
She followed him to the door, and he
flung the box far out into the back yard
Chapter lII.-Four days had passed.
Dried pumpkin, cloves, spices, gum and
dried beef had been chewed in place of
the accustomed quid. The family cat
had been kicked ont OF doors; the dogs
had all fled; the hired girls noss was
up; every peddler in the town came to
door.

won't you?" asked the wife.

vINDICTIVE.

The Legislature Of California appears
to be stirred up against the press Of that
State, and 10 spirit of revenge proposes
to legislate itself even. On the 9th
nltimo Senator Pierson introduced
bill adding new section to the Penal
Code, which reads as fallows.
All original articles or correspondence
hereafter printed in any newspaper or
serial publication published in this State,
shall be printed in said newspaper or
serial publication with the full real name
OF the author Of such article or CORES.
pondence, and the editor or proprietor
OF any paper or serial publication, in
which such article or correspondence up.
pears without such real full name OF
the author attached. shall be guilty OF
misdemsanor.
Such law, founded as it is in spite,
strikes alta right which underlies the
usefulness Of newspapers aud one that
will be opposed by the entire press of
the country. 1t is too ridiculous to
think Of signing every little squib that
Hnds ito way into newspaper. Many
things which otherwise might appear in
print would be kept out before the author
would consent to comply with the law.
The Chronicle. in commenting on this
subject, says: THE effect OF such law
would be to impose fetter upon the use.
folness Of the press in the exposure OF
the fraudulent schemes dangerous to the
public welfare, and in its attempts to
reform abuses. The value OF the prinoi.
pie OF impersonality in journalism has
been felt and recognized in almost every
civilized nation. Francs is the only
country in Christendom where the press
10 not impersoual. The operation of the
proposed law would be to hamper the
freedom OF the press aud to reduce the
editorial department of newspaper to
mere collection OF essays expressing in
dividual opinion. No State Of the Amer.
lean Union. aud no country in Christsn-
dom. with the single exception already
indicated, has ever adopted the personal
System. There are many things which
ought to be said. many suspicious which
should be intimated. many hints that
should be thrown out, which it would be
embarrassing for any writer for the press
in his individual capacity to father. The
usefulness Of the press, and its capacity
to servo the public efficiently. would be
crippled by such an enactment"

REPORT OF THE STATE PRISON
EXPERTS.

We find in the Virginia Chronicle Of
the I2Sth synopsis Of The reports Of
Hanford and Eldridge. From the r..
port Of the former il would appear that
Warden HSman has not conducted the
affairs of the prison in q manner cal
culated TO reflect credit upon the gentle.
man. It now transpirss that Eldridge.
one Of the experts, was the man who
kept the accounts OF the prison. and did
not exert himself to any great extent in
making or assisting in making q report
calculated to throw any light ON the
management OF that institution, bu
appears to have held himself in reserve
for the purpose of criticising the report
OF Hanford. which does not seem to
have met with his approval. Mr.. Han
ford adds the following note to his
report:
"The foregoing report was prepared
by me, and intended rs joint report, II
IL should meet with the approval OF my
colleague. Upon exhibiting the same to
Mr.. Eldridge be declined to sign 1t.
basing his non.concurrence upon . dif-
ference OF opinion as to dedustions or
conclusions. From the figures, am
happy to agree with my colleague as to
the facts. Relative to the conclusions
that may be reasonable to deduce there
from, tine Board and the public can as
we'll judge as Mr.. Eldridge or myself.
Mr.. EldFidge having prepared no report
Of his own IN ertenso, has been allowed
access to mine for review and criticism,
and / might properly claim the right to
reply thereto, as in an extensive labor OF
this kind il is very easy to frame con-
clusion-much easier than to prepare Q
work. However, having no feeling in
tho matter, I submit my labors and these
remarks: That false reports cannot be
headed by assurances that the balance
would come out all right; that the prison
has not been conducted as cheaply ~ 1t
ought to have been, ia not answered by
the suggestion that it has been more eco.
nomically conducted than by Warden
Hyman's predecessors; that errors aud
false accounts are only triAes, is but a
poor apology for keeping erroneous ac-
counts or for supervising books that OF
themselves proved the Warden's report
to the board to be false. Having never
been connected with the previous man
agement Of the prison, as my colleague
has, have no motive either for assault
or defense"
By way Of criticism Mr.. Eldridge has
this to say:
have investigated everything relating
to the business and financial manage
ment OF the prison, inside and outside
the walls carefully and faithfully, and
have failed to hnd that Mr.. Hyman has
defrauded the State of one dollar. So
far az purchases and sales are concerned
the books are correct. There are mis-.
takes In charging amounts to the differ
ent accounts. and mistakes and irregu.
larities in the Warden's reports. A
great many OF them were undoubtedly
the mistakes of the clerk in segregating
the accounts and making up the reports
The worst that can be said of Mr.. Hy-
man is that he was over-zealous to show
good return from his factories, and did
not scrutinize his reports as closely as he
should have done before signing and
swearing to them.
