MASSACHUSETTS, MODEL PRISON.

From the Springfield Mass.) Republican. July 15l
There are now 778 inmates Of the State Prison ut
Concord, regiment of desperadoes, and the daily
dispatches keep informed OF the progress Of the
war there as closely in Zululand. ono day It is
great fire, the next strike. Then the garrison
prepare to break out on q railroad train and make
an excursion to Boston. When officers are warned
of coming danger they resign This throws con-
spracy out of gear momenarily, and leads to jeer-
ing and hooting ut the close of chapel services ON
the following Sunday, when the frightened visitors
gentlemen and ladies', extricated their dan
gcrous positions with little exposure as possible
but with embarrassment evidently enjoyed by
the convicts. Incendiary res strikes, conspracies
and open insult indicate the complete collapse OF
discipline ut the institution. Warden Chamberlain
stands to his post, but is not big enough to put
down the rebellion. He hangs on the verge of gov
eminent, but does not govern, and a congregation
of desperadoes where there is the doubt as
to who is master, is a slumbering volcano that may
at any moment overlap its barriers. Governor Tai
bot cannot longer delay change in the government
of the State Prison. 1t Is degeneratng from penal
and reformatory institution into a menagcrie of nm
Gagged ruians. rapidly parting with the last instincts
of decency and the last effects of discipline lie
will speedily have open outbr eak upon his hands
and the commonwealth either flooded with escaped
convcts or order maintained ct the cost of massacre

that part of the city Sixth, you that the Insur
contents were heavily insured" The patrol in charge
were totally ignorant to whether there was any
insurance or not and regret that they should SO
Tar exceed their very important duties as to make
assertions OF this damaging nature and We are I'M
willing to believe that their employers sanction 1t.
The fact about the matter of insurance is that four
story building fronting on three lots. costing over
$4,000 was insured for less than So 000 machinery
$1,000. and factory full of manufactured and UNI
manufactured stock was insured for only $4,000.
Our loss over and above the insurance will be
$25.000. No additional insurance had been put
this year, but only few weeks since allowed two
policies to expire amounting to $1,000 And lastly,
ton the firm OF Van Tuyl Co. had been burned out
three or four times" This last statement is,
fortunately, true. We have lost and above the
amount recovered from insurance companies, over
$4,000 by fires. as our books have shown.

COLORADO'S PROBLEM.
IRON the Denver Coll News, July u.

from the Denver Coll News, July 12.l
Denver is the central spot of vast inland empire
totally destitute of water navigation. 1t extends
from the Missouri River to the Pacific and from the
British to the Mexican line. She is already the hub
of the future railroad system OF this wonderful do
main, which can never have any other means Of
growth are very different from those of inland cities
in the eastern half of the Union. The only limits to
her coming greatness appear to to be the capacity
of the arid plains to sustain agricultural popua-
ton. The mountains will certainly become as
dense1y settled with mining and manufacturing in
habitants the hills OF New England or Penn
sylvania. But will the plains be dotted with farm
sparsely settled grazing grounds? On this
question much depends. But very small
amount OF the arid region is covered with
n barreni oil. 1t is not a desert in that sense;
But still 1, is comparatively uninhabited from the
want of water. To obtain a sufficient quantity for
agricultural purposes is the most stupendous prob
lem that invites the genius of mankind to its solu-
ton. The building OF canal across the sthmus is
o matter of insignificant interest, difficulty or I'M
portance by the side of it. The future engineers of
unperishaDe renown will be those who supply the
arid plains with abundant water.
Artesian wells have not been shown to be made
Quate to the solution OF the difficulty, but II they
fail there other possibilities. Under the present
system of irrigation ninety nine per cent the
water that comes down from the mountain streams
is wasted. We venture to say that the Platte alone
furnishes enough to irrigate all the tiabe land in
Colorado, IL the flow OF the whole year could be
stored in reservoirs over the State and used only
during the two months that 1t Is needed. The melt
ing SHOWS of the mountains furnish the water. How
can it be most economically distributed over the
plains? No more important subject could engage
the attention of the national government than the
reclamation OF this immense area, which IL capable
OF being converted into gigantic contribution to
the national wealth and power.

Chapman and Sarah E. Chapman. his wife. In this
case decree having been rendered against the de-
PENDANT Aonzo r. Chapman and in favor of Sarah
Z. Chapman dismissing the libel Us against her. it
was insisted that the stpulators upon bond given
by her upon the release OF certain vessels attached
were bound by the terms of the bond to pay the de-
cree against Alonzo r. Chapman. Judge Choate
holds that the belant had the opportunity to raise
this question when 1t was proposed to bond the
property. and to permit it against the sure
ties would be gross injustice and decides that NO

Henry Clifton. who gave his residence as Phiiadel-

sioner Osborn yesterday and charged by Daniel

crosstown car with having passed counterfeit
trade dollar upon him. Commissioner Osborn held
him in $1,000 bail for examination The accused
volunteered statement in regard to the matter and
seemed inclined to believe himself much abused.
He said that he came from Philadelphia about
two weeks ago, and. after spending all his money.
he began to beg. Last Monday night in Waverley
place. well dressed man gave him half dollar.
saying at the time, "You q fine
looking man; you ought not to be begging; meet
mo here tomorrow night and I'll give you job.
The engagement was kept. and Clifton says that his
new made friend gave him six bright trade dollars
aud told him to board the cars in Clinton place,
change the coins one by one and bring his patron
the change. Clifton did so, but unfortunately
boarded Yandewarts car second time. and he was
arrested. He claimed before Commissioner Osborn
that he was an honest man and did not know that
the coins were counterfeit. but the fact that he
threw away those that were in his possession when
he arrested gives him questionable Innocence.
