There is very strong suspicion in the
public mind that the management of many
of our prisons is not what it ought to be in
other words, that convicts are treated with
unnecessary cruelty by brutal keepers and
mercilessly punished for the most trifing
offence against prison rules and discipline.
Since John Howard and other philanthro-
pists began their work in England century
ago very great reforms have been made in
prison management all over the world
but if the charges in regard to the
New Jersey State Penitentiary at Tren-
ton be true it is very evident that
the horrible and barbarous treatment
of criminals which they were instru-
mental in abolishing has been revived in the
institution in that State. General Mott, the
keeper, is accused of having revived soma
thing like the medieval instruments of tor
ture and employing them to reduce refrac-
tory criminals to submission. On one occa-
sion it is alleged that this humane keeper
poured alcohol on man and then set fire
to it to test the question of whether the pris-
oner was sick, as he pretended to be. If
Mott ought to be treated to some of his own
discipline and the New Jersey State Prison
is disgrace not only to the State but to the
whole country.
An investigation is talked about or has
been set on foot by the Legislature. The sug-
restion seems to have put the model Mott
into quite a frenzy. He seems to think that
he is not responsible to any one for his al
legged inhumanity, and his conduct will go
far to convince the public that all that has
been said concerning his brutality is true.
TO member who had clear right to do so
he refused permission to speak with the un-
fortunate men who are under his charge,
and he has served notice upon the reporters
who were sent to investigate the charges
that he will have nothing to do with
them, and when an examination takes
place he will not allow them to be present.
Perhaps SO; but that is question with
which Mott will have very little to do He
adds that he hates newspapers. We sup
pose he does Men like him are generally
of his way Of thinking. 1t is the duty of the
Legislature to at once rigdly investigate
the whole management of the prison. II is
due to the cause of humanity, for even con-
victs have rights which must be respected,
whatever Mott may think, and it is due to
| the honor of the State. And it must not be
made smothering business. The public
is entitled to all the facts, and can get
them only by full, impartial and open in
vestioation.

The protracted deadlock between Gov
ernor Robinson and the republican State
Senate, which has kept the most important
Office in the State. next to that OF the Gov
ernor, vacant for more than year, ended
yesterday by the confirmation of Mr. Clark.
After the rejection of General Mcclellan last
winter the Governor sent in no other noml-
nation, probably hoping for democratic
Senate in the new Legislature. That hope
having been disappointed he promptly
nominated Mr.. Fairchild near the beginning
of the session and has lost no time in making
successive nominations as one after another
of his candidates was rejected. Mr.. Magone
was rejected for substantially the same rea-
sons that prevailed against Mr.. Fairchild,
but the republican Senators yesterday ac-
cepted Mr.. Clark, who was confirmed by
unanimous vote.
Itseems like venturing pretty far into the
region Of experiment to fill so very impor-
tant an Office with an unknown man who has
never had any connection with the business
of the canals. But Mr.. Clark is un-
doubtedly man of energy and capacity. as
he has demonstrated by years service as
Warden of the Sing Sing State Prison. He
is said to have accomplished wonders in re-
organizing that institution. having i'm
proved its discipline and put it on
a paying basis. This proves that he pos
sesses administrative talents, but not
that he would manage the canals as sue
cessfully as he has the largest of our
prisons. But, although this new appoint
ment is an experiment, Mr.. Clark is en-
titled to candid judgment and a fair trial.
Without much previous experience in prisons
he at once became the best of reorganizers,
and it may turn out that without any ex-
perience in the canals he is fit man to put
the new system into operation. He seems
to have aptitudes which give him quick
grasp of new situation, and he may be all
the more valuable for not having been
trained in the routine of the old canal
management, which it is so desirable to
abolish.
Now that this troublesome dispute is set
tied we hope Governor Robinson will again
send in the name Of DR.. Austin Flint, Jr.,
for Health Officer of this port. This excel
lent nomination was wisely withdrawn dur
ing the acrimonious difference respecting
the merits Of Mr.. Fairchild, in order that
in filling two offices having no connection
each might be disposed of with view to it's
separate requirements. The nomipation of
DIR. Flint was admitted to be fit and admira-
bic at the time it was made, and it would
have been promptly confirmed had it been
sent in alone. Since no better selection is
possible Governor Robinson will disap-
point public expectation if he does not
again name DR.. Flint.

requiring an addition of ten per cent to
the regular duties on goods coming from
such countries The main purpose of this
provision is to facilitate the negotiation of
treaties of commerce for acquiring in all
foreign markets the advantages conceded to
the most favored nation. The free admis-
sion of all materials to be actually employed
in shipbuilding is another excellent feature
of this bill. 1t does not provide for free iron
or free copper or free timber or free cord
age, but only a particular exemption for
such Of those articles as are actually used
in the construction of ships If it passes it
will revive the industry of our shipyards,
as the exemption of the raw materials of
manufactures will impart new activity to
that great branch Of American industry.
Among the many minor advantages
claimed for this proposed tariff are the ex-
clusion of goods which counterfeit American
trade marks, the limitation Of free wearing
apparel purchased in foreign country to
the value of two hundred dollars, the free i'm
portation of choice breeding cattle, the exclu-
sion of cattle which might bring contagious
distempers, the free introduction of agricul-
tural machinery propelled by steam and OF
other things which would give our pro-
ducers the earliest use of foreign inventions
and improvements. Credit is also claimed
for new method of grading and apprais-
ing sugars, but this is technical matter of
which only experts are judges. On the
whole we think this bill great improve
ment on any tariff system we have ever had,
and we trust that its main features will be
accepted by Congress

voluntary severe exertion, at least on the
amateur oarsmen. A few years ago DR.. John
Z. Morgan, of Manchester, found that out
of two hundred and ninety-four Oxford and
Cambridge Varsity oars seventeen thought,
or their friends did, that they were injured
by their rowing. one hundred and sixty
two were in no way harmed, and one hum
dred and fifteen were positively benefited.
1t will crafty many to know that DR.. E. H.
Bradford, of Boston, has made similar,
though partial investigation among our stu
dent oarsmen, and in the last Sanitdridn
sets forth the result of his inquiry among
all Harvard men who, between 1852 and
1876, had rowed in o university race. OF
the two hundred and ninety-four English
there was doubt as to one of these. Among
the one hundred and fifty Harvard
men DR.. Bradford finds no death
from heart disease, nor any sign of it, SO
far as he has inquired, among those alive,
though as to the latter his search has not
been complete. By DR.. Fairs life tables
the average expectation of life among the
British student oars is found to be over two
years more than that of ordinary healthy
men, and among the American over half a
year more. This looks as if DR.. Richard
sons conclusion would hardly apply to
amateur oars at any rate, and even among
professionals, whatever he may find in
the English, we would call his attention
to race on Saratoga Lake in September,
1871, in which four American brothers beat
the two fastest professional crews England
could produce, and yet the stroke of the
American four (Ward) even then INDUCED

Helping the Turks.

There is but little news of the war and
even less news of the peace. Another Rus
sian success on the seq is chronicled and is
somewhat dramatic in it's character. This
brilliant stroke of q torpedo at Batoum
seems to point the moral which ever grows
palmer and palmer as facts accumulate
that the Power likely to be supreme on the
water in the future is not to be the one that
has the greatest navy, but the one that has
the best torpedoes Baker Pacha is reported
at Bulair, which apparently means that
preparations for the defence of the PENN
sula of Gallipoli are continued. England
will regard a Russian invasion of that
peninsula as u casus beli Russia will,
therefore, not 60 thither if she can avoid it;
but she declares that she cannot avoid it if
the Turks put military force there Now
it is the interest of the Turks to draw the
Russians to Gallipoli, because that will force
England to take part with them, and since
the Russians have declared what will draw
chem to that point the Turks see their
way to accomplish treasured purpose.
Only the conclusion Of terms and cessa-
ton of hostilities can prevent an embroil-
ment at that point. But the Russian armies
are apparently inactive at present-although
we do not hear of the definite agreement on
that point Tonight the British Parliament
will consider the relations of England to the
war. 1t is said that four nights will be con-
sumed in this debate. BY that time in all
probability the Turkish plenipotentiaries
will have determined with the Grand Duke
Nicholas the terms now disputed over at
Kezanlik. Consequently the result of the
British debate may come too late to encour-
age the Ottoman.

THE WEATHER The descent of an extensive
lake region. Canada and the Middle and Eastern
States has been attended over these districts by
a fall of temperature and cold, clear weather.
These conditions prevailed yesterday, but
changed last evening over the more western
sections. The storm centre which moved to
New Brunswick and Newfoundland on Tuesday
evening has PASSED northcastward into the
Atlantic, followed by rapidly rising barometer.
The other storm which we announced adj
yancing from the Southwestern territory has
made rapid progress and is now central in
Georgia. Snow, rain aud scct have fallen over the
Ohio Valley region and in the Northwest. The
character OF this approaching storm is peculiar
in one respect. The temperature continues re-
murkably low on its southern and eastern
margins and the attendant precipitation OF
snow has prevailed in very southcrly districts
OF course the influence OF the cold, dense, dry
atmosphere Immediately north of the storm
area produces its effects on the air in tho con-
trary condition in contact with it. The rains on
the Gulf coast have been quite heavy, and 1t is
that much snow will fall over the
regions travcrsed by the northern quadrants OF
this storm Vessels leaving this port for the
South today will meet heavy weather. High
to northwcstcrly winds prevail
north of Tennessee. The weather in New York
and it's vicinity to-day will be cold and cloudy,
with snow. followed by warmer. with rain at
night. Tomorrow u will DC colder again, prob
ably with SLOW.

The Constitutiomal Amend me 3.

In another column will be found adj
ditions TO the correspondence between the
Comptroller of the city and the Municipal
Society on the proposed amendments to the
State constitution and a convenient legal
opinion in support of the Comptroller's OPP
position to these proposed changes in the
law. 1t is the opinion of Mr.. Kelly's
lawyer that if Legislature submits to the
people proposed amendment approved
by another Legislature, but omits as un-
worthy its approval section that
was approved by its predecessor,
then this omission invalidates the
whole, because 'the meaning of an
amendment may be changed as completely
by emitting words as by adding words" "
II that is the reason why a Legislature may
not drop clause from what it approves, it
does not apply in this case. because the
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1878-01-31

meaning of the whole is not changed by the
omission of that which is complete in itself
and has no necessary relation to what is
left. But if the Legislature will 60 on and
the people will adopt the amendments as
presented to them this defect in their his
tory will be fair case on which to go to the
courts, and their adjudication will be ac-
cepted as satisfactory, and in that respect
will be different from the opinion Of Mr.
Kelly's lawyer.

The Merchants and the Freight War.

II
Some of the merchants of the city met
Yesterday under the auspices of the Cham
Der of Commerce and in it's name to dis
cuss what, as they put it, has very much
the appearance of an abstract problem.
Their nominal theme was, Have the great
railroad lines which hold their charters
from the Legislature OF this State the right
to make rates which uujustly discriminate
against the commerce of this city? In refec-
ton upon this inquiry, which is so conf
IDENTIFY put as u poser, it may be said that the
reason why our railroads are put at disad-
vantage with others and why our commerce
is crippled with hard conditions from
which the commerce of other cities
escapes in great degree, is because
our merchants commonly deal with
all their grievances in the spirit
exhibited in the above statement of their
case-a spirit of innocent and absurd reli-
ance upon presumed rights and obligations
which do not exist. Railroads obtain their
charters, not to cultivate the commerce of
this city, and are not run for that purpose,
save in SO far as it subserves their own pur-
pose-which is to make money. Does any
merchant conduct his business with view
to the prosperity of the railroads? Not at
ALL He dispatches his freight by the cheap
est route and. as was shown yesterday,
even reaches Chicago by way of Boston if
it is to his advantage. With him
''busincss is business y and yet, when the
railroads are put to straits in which they
have to plead that convenient view of all
obligations, the merchant is astonished that
they have no local pride and are not under
the restraint Of some consideration as to the
source of their charters as if they had not
for the most part bought those useful arti-
cles in the Legislative market with their own
money. Little was said yesterday likely to
solve the problem presented by the dis
ordinations against this city in the freight
war. It's only important demonstration is
that the merchants have walked up and de-
sire eagerly to find remedy. AS the diff
Guilty is not insuperable, that is, in fact,
what was mainly necessary.
