Breaking jail.

Breaking jail.
The board of inspection and the i'm
mediate superintendent of the county
Jail go out of Office with very bad odor
of suspicion attaching to them of positive
neglect of duty, if not of criminal COM
plicity on the part of some of them for
the numerous escapes, in part or success.
full, at that institution lately. The ven
ture of Charles Gibson, which resulted
in his getting over the wall and out into
the world, is only the old story, with
sequence that is more favorable to the
prisoner and less damaging to the man
agement than those of FrankfOrd and
LippincOtt and BuZZard. The fact that
their attempts seem to have taught their
keepers nothing goaUto their highest dis
credit if not to their implication. The
ease with which all these prisoners have
got out of their cells reflects on the in
telligence of the inspectors mainly, and
proves the stupidity of the alleged me.
chanic who undertook to make cells
proof against the. escape of prisoners by
lining them with chilled iron plates held
together with soft iron rivets which the
prisoner had only to cut off TO remove
the plates. For all purposes of facilitat-
ing Sach flight the cells might rs well
have been lined with soft iron. For this
stupidity there is, of course no excuse.
But the experience with FrankfOrd
and those who followed him with their
almost successful efforts ought to have
taught the keepers the necessity of
watching the prisoners and of inspect
ing the cells regularly, especially those
which had been proved to he insecure
because they were iron -clad-amd those
which were subject to attack by the more
desperate and ingenious convicts who
occupied them. Such work rs Gibson S
require weeks of labor and conceal
ment to make il effective, and with any
sort of proper regular inspection of the
walls and floors, these cannot progress
without discovery and interruption if
the keepers are honest and capable. Not
only has this scrutiny been lacking man
ifestly, but the draft of the front gate
key left 10y Gibson in his flight, gives
ample ground for the suspicion that he
hal inside help which could not have
come from his fellow cOnvicts.
The public knows there is something
rotten and the new board or some better
disposed and better qualified authority
should make a searching investigation
t. determine where the fault lies.
Our county certainly presents {" most
melancholy spectacle in regard to the
administration of justice within its
borders. In the past few weeks we nave
had the court arraigning magistrates and
cOnstabics for breaking the laws 10y
multiplying cases &; with this ringing
i'm his ears the district attorney
set to work to do the very same thing in
the identical cases referred to; an in

ur beer is fnll of awful thinrs.

Our beer is full of awful things,
There's terra alba in our candy;
False notes, too oft, the tenor sings,
Our brandy's anything but brandy
Our tea would make Celestials weep,
Our woolens bubble DER with cotton;
Good fruit is always on the top,
While underneath is placed tho rotton.
The oyster laughs their skill to scorn,
They can't adulterate potatoesj
But though we know that "eggs are eggs"
They often seem half salaratus.
The English ale is far behind
The brew that pleased the CHEEKY Dickens
And I'm convinced we buy a kind
or patent lignum-vitp chickensi
On with the dance We must not dare
To spend a moment in rejecting,
Since what we eat and drink and wear
Is filled with what we're not expecting,
My farewell words, though few and sad,
Pcrchance may be anticipated
Our politicians are 80 bad
They cannot be adulterated

A LITTLE TOO PREVIOUS.

The Arg0naW processes to be very much
gratifed by the Sunday plank in the Re.
publican platform, and after quoting it
observes When it is considered that the
Argonam was the first to advocate such
ga plank, and that, single.handed and
"alone, it has battled for its adoption, our
"exultation is excusable. We really
cannot admit the force of this. If that is
the kind of plank Mr.. Pixley has been
battling" for, we must say that we
think he has been wasting his energies.
The REooRD-UNIoN, not the Argond,a,
was however the first journal to advocate
clean-cut aud boldly expressed Sunday
law plank, and so far as we are aware the
ArgonaW only followed suit. But what
the RECORD UNION proposed was very
different plank from the emasculated, milk
and-water, meaningless resolution actually
adopted, and if MIR. Pixley desires to have
the sole credit of procuring that, we GER.
tainly shall not dispute the prize with him.
The fact is that the Convention failed CON-
pletely on this question, and that when the
people come to read and digest the Sunday
law plank for themselves, they will per-
ceive it to be hollow sham.

WHAT WILL THEY DO FOR ISSUES

The Democrats and Republicans have
now no issues between them. They are
entering State campaign, and they have
declared that they favor the same things.
Even on the Sunday law there is no differ
ence between them, for the Republican
plank on that is mere bundle of meaning
less words, and promises nothing to the
supporters of the Sunday holiday. Both
parties are arti-mcnopoly, and as they
are at one on that question, so far as plat
forms go, they will be driven to personalities
to create any interest in the campaign.
Each will no doubt accuse the other of
being insiucere. Each will prick holes in
the private character of the opposite candi-
iates. But they cannot quarrel over the
railroad issue, or the Sunday issue, or the
Chinese issue, and the present indications
are that they viii find it extremely difficult
to 'ntuse any enthusiasm into the cam.
psign. The Republicans were led by
demagogues, who as usual with their tribe,
could not see beyond their own noses,
and now they will have time to discover
how hugely they have Numbered. There
