We would warn our people against bclicv-
ing the many reports as to the cruelty of the
Railroad authorities to the convicts under
their charge. Prison authorities are obliged
to enforce order by discipline, and 1t Is not to
be expected that the situation OF conrictS
should be Il desirable one. The many reports
OF crvcl treatment arc exaggerated so much
that VIC are disposed to believe that there is
scarcely q scmblancc Of truth in them. We
shall ut n later day put ourselves to the trou-
BILE of finding out exactly how they arc trcated
and the world shall know tho truth of the
matter. II knives have been stuck into the
legs OF the convictS we will not only let our
readers know of the fnct. hut we sia give
the name of the pcrpetrator of the deed. AT
present we believe that not more severity has
been exercised than was absolutely necessary.
