The State Prison Renort

The inspectors of the State Prison have is
sued their report for the year 1879. 1t contains
very little which has not been dribbled out TO
Fusion papers during the past six months They
say the stock ON hand amounts to $51, 1886. 18;
accounts and notes to $60.142.7S. This would
make the assets Sill, 52S.96. But the inspec-
tors, or rather a majority of them, say the
value of the notes should in their opinion be
reduced one-half from their face value which
would leave the assets but SS1, 457.57. The
liabilities are: Owing on accounts S67, 1877 10;
owing on notes $500, making total of S67,-
1919, leaving the net assets S13,96039. The
report says that the assets have decreased $751;
1876 since 1S7S--a result due to the depre-
citation in value of stock and bad debts. They
say also that the accounts under Warden
Rice's management were loosely kept The re-
port is signed by Mr.. Edward Cushing who has
been inspector for some years and has ce rtain-
ly been little slow in reporting the careless
bookkeeping which he now says has prevailed
in the prison, and Mr.. Geo. w. Martin.
Mr. Rufus Prince submits report in which
he says that Notwithstanding the aspersion of
the majority he is still of the opinion that the
prison was managed not only honestly but
efficiently during Warden Rice's administra-
tlon' Up 10 tnlS year IL mas always been the
custom to return notes and accounts at their
face value and the great part of the apparent
reduction Of assets results from reckoning these
at half their value.
There is nothing of consequence in the
majority report which has not already ap-
peared in print and been thoroughly discussed.
The prison has undoubtedly lost money on ac-
count OF a depreciation of values and bad
debts just as thousand of business men have
during the last five or six years. But a
thorough and hostile search has furnished no
ground for any reflection on Warden Rice's
integrity, and it is far from proved that his
management of the business of the prison was
pressed condition of business and the constant
losses of the men he dealt with which impaired
Their ability to pay to the prison the debts they
owed it.

Beet Culture.

Saturday afternoon, in re ponse to call is
sued to the Changers in the towns in the vicin'
ity OF Portland, about one hundred farmers
gathered in Congress Hall to EXPIRE IS their
views on the sugar beet culture.
Mr.. Charles Jordan, Master of Presumpscot
Grange, presided, and interesting remarks
were made by DIR. Blackwell, Superintend ent
Parker of the Reform School, j. S. Richard
son of Deering, Tristram Jordan of Cape Eliz-
abeth. Charles E. Jose of Portland, j. b.
Manter of Cape Elizabeth. John Wheeler OF
Cumberland Mills, w. w. Harris, Mr.. Roberts
and Others
All but two Of the gentlemen were highly III
favor of beet raising. DR.. Blackwell gave
complete history of the doings of the Maine
Beet Sugar Company, which has been already
published in these columns. He gave an IN
teresting account also OF the German beet
fields. He considered the experiment in Maine
decided success.
Col. Parker showed that at the Reform
School three and quarter acres of land had
produced l66,9l5 pounds Of beets, for which he
had received SAT- Mr.. Richardson had OBJ
tanned handsome crop. j. b. Manter planted
and raised AZ, 1875 pounds on an acre, and re-
ceived Sl23, Mr.. Wheeler got fine crop but
considered the expense of raising too great to
be profitable. Mr.. Roberts took the same view.
The opinion seemed to be that the most scien-
tific farmers, like market gardeners, who per-
feet their drainage and understand the proper
pulverzing and manuring of the soil, had the
best results, and that with better knowledge,
that comes with experience, beet raising would
be one of the great industries of the State. 1t
was thought that if five hundred far mers
should each take 800 worth of stock in the
company the incentive would enable them to
make beet raising matter of profit to them
selves. 1t was shown that the pulp fed to
stock gave better milk, and enabled farmers to
churn without difficulty in winter. The pulp
is worth IS to SO to farmers to feed in the saw
ing of hay, and they can sell their beets for Sc
and buy pulp stock for feed for 81 for their
cattle

Acknowledges Himself a slanderer

Wilder Washington Perry has been forced
to take back one of his slanderous assertions.
In recent speech at Camden he insinuated
That Baptist minister in Augusta had been
orioed to denounce the "steal" by $50 paid
MIN by Mr.. Blaine. The facts in the case
land they were probably just as well known to
Mr.. Perry when he uttered his SANDER as they
are now are that an attempt was made by Rev.
Mr.. Tilden's parish to pay'a debt and to do it
they solicited subscriptions from citizens of
Augusta. Mr.. Blaine among others was
asked to contribute, Democrat making the
request, and he did contribute $50. Mr.. Til
den derived no personal benefit from the gift
whatever. Nevertheless Mr. Perry made it
the foundation for charge of bribery. He
now acknowledges in the following card that
he uttered baseless SANDER:
AUGUSTA, Feb. 18th, 1880.
To the Editor Of the Kennebec Journal:
Ilease allow me to say through the columns
OF your paper that was mised by newspaper
reports to think that $50 had been presented
TO the pastor of the Baptist church of this city
by Mr.. Blaine. On investigation find that
the $50 was not given to the pastor, but to the
society to help pay debt, and L desire to re-
call any impression that l may have given I'M
der the above misapprehenson that the said
pastor was influenced in political sense by
the gift. WILDER W. PERRY.
