Reform school Outrares.

Boston, June 30.-The horrible state OF sf-
fairs that is alleged to have for some time
existed at the reform school al Wesiboro,
bids fair 10 be thoroughly exposed. The
trustees tonight suddenly visited the institu-
tuition, giving Superintendent Dooley sur
.prise party, and began a rigid inves ieation
without giving him airy opportunity 70 hx
things up The inmates and Chicers were
assembled 10 the chspel, and were asked If
they desired 10 make any statements, where
upon thirty Buys promptly arose, and also
the bead farmer, Mr.. Charles Goddard, and
the superintendent Of the garden houses,
Mr.. w. O. Ainsworth. The taking Of test
mony was then begun. Mr.. Ainsworth te.ti>
fed that the superintendent was guilty OF the
most brutal cru,liy and III treatment, and
alleged under oath that boys were strapped
for offsnses they did not commit; that boys
hsve been strung up 90 that their toes touched
the floor, and that tscks were placed under
their heels. points upward. ked tape had
taken the place Of system: and
PARTIALLY was the rule. Refined
cruelty, as prscticed st this insti ~
ton, included the free use Of the fists on the
subject for dicipliue Who refus d 10 submit
willingly 70 the tortures OF the strap. Su-
perintendeDt DOOley was also chsrgsd with
using vulgar language, and specifications
were given. All the testimony taken during
the evening wss Of this damaging character.
snd At the Close Of the bearing The trustees
adjourned until mprning. when they Will
continue 10 probe the mass Of corruption
which eviden ~ exists.

reformation be complete and all that is
vicious, wicked and abandoned be overcome
and good deeds take the place of evil ones'
and peutleness and kindness sway the
sceptrs where before cruelty and vindictive-
ness reigned Is it not better, it is suggested
for the murderer to be given the opportu-
nity of reformation and of expiation for his
terrible deed by life labor than to take his
life? Gan the dews OF repentance ever water
bis soul with the shadow of the gallows en-
veloping him? Gan he be sorrowful with his
last bours on earth disturbed with the ringing
of the saw and the sound OF the ham,
mer in the hands of the carpenter,
who is erecting his gibbet? Does not his
heart within him rebel and make him abhor
that society and its laws which condemn
him 10 an ienominious death, to an infamous
memory that must forever cling to those
who are nearest and dearest to him on earth,
and faint them with disgrace, as he gazes
through his barred window at the platform
and trap door from which he must take his
last look OF the sunlight and the clouds toat-
ing above him, and the faces of his fellow
men uptufned to him in his last agony 'twixt
life and death !? Is not life punishment more
in accord with the intelligence aud the hu"
mainly and the justice of the age, and, after
all, more severe upon the criminal himself,
than death on the gibbet, than death in any
manner is the query of the day.

Third-The Legislature at It's present session

second resolution the principle Of the Pond bill
which only commanded "A votes In their own
House, knowing that temperance men who be.

against the section because Of that Incorporation,
and thus while all temperance measures would
be defeated, they expected to reapth benefit OF q

evidently fair The offered to make prohibition,
local option, and special tax special propositions
Defeated In this, they, through Senator Van

power over the whole subject. Even this was

THAT REPUBLICAN, LEGISLATURE

We very much fear the Ohio Legislature has
made grievous mistake In Its dilly dallying, un.
decided, and 1t may not be harsh to sag coWardly
manner in which 1t has tampered and fooled with
the temperance and Sunday bills from nearly the
first day Of Its present session. The Republicans
should either have promptly passed these meas
ures at the beginning or had nothing to do with
them at all. Without gaining the favor OF the
temperance or moral sentiment Of the State, they
have driven away supporters OF the party whose
loss will be felt In October They had better suf-
Hered this loss, II brought about by stern dis
charge Of duty, than 70 have Rlienated both ele'
menls without accomplishing any good. II the
Republicans are beaten next fall, the defeat may
be charged squarely against the action, or rather
want of action, OF the present Legislature.-salem
Republican.
The Ohio Legislature adjourned yesterday week
ago II no doubt feels proud Of its record and all
that, but II the people have one thing more than
another to thank 1t for Is that simple act OF ad-
journing sine dle.--CRrroll Repu blican.
Our information is to the effect that II the Pond
bill remains where 1t now Is until the end OF the
aession-If the extreme temperance Repub licans
and the policy dodgers elected "a Republicans
maintain their alliance with the free trade in
whisky Democrats, and by absen ting themselves,
or by refrainIng from voting, defeat the Pond bill
then from fifty 10 one hundred thousand OF the
squAres straightest Republicans In the state VIII
cease TO have any interest In the october eleeton.
The men Of whom we speak are not extremist
on the temperance question, one way or the
other. They are not men who need to be rallied
by committees or stimulated to action by the
party press; but are men VINO have been IN tne
habit OF rallying others men who ESPECIALLY In

been in the business for a number Of years, said
to Western Associated Press reporter that he

it. His contracts are all in old Ststes east Of the
Mississippi River, and are mostly short routes
He said that the efforts OF the investigation so faI
to induce members Of the ring to turn States evi.
dence and expose the whole thing have failed
that the ring was still compact In resistance OF
exposure and that that is the diffcultyin the way
Of getting direct testimony against 1t. He said
that the ring was composed OF six firms Of con-
tractors and a few officials who had used money
freely, but had done 1t In way that would not
create evidence against them. He said further
that every one Of The expedited routes were
taken originally at figures that would not have
II was ! lain that the contractors knew before

in short, the conspiracy was arranged so as to
take in only certain men, that the hi ads OF the

other hand 1t can be stated that the Administra.
