THE defeat of Mr. Window is the re-
suit that usually follows a family quarrel.
Mr.. Window and his friends unnecessar-
lily undertook the job of defeat ng and
destroying Mark H. Dunnell. They sue
ceeded in defeating him, for a renomina-
ton to the House. Dunnell and his fol-
lowers served notice on Window at the
time that his road to reelection to the
senate would not be rosy one. The
threat has borne bitter fruit, and yet it
is just what might have been expected.
WINDOWS defeat is the price of meddling
with affairs that was none of his business.

DEAR mother" These were the last
words of William Stamford, of Union
town, Pa, who died at the county Jail
at that place Jan. 28, where he had been
prisoner over fifty-one consecutive
years. For eighteen years he was chain
ed by the leg to the floor of his cell.
Eighteen Sheriffs have gone in and out
of Office since he was prisoner. "Bil-
lie," as be was called, was born in Eng

death, and the only time he was ever
known to refer in any way to any one
connected with his childhood, was when
dying, he called for his mother, and only

The Albert Lea STANDARD seeks conso-
lation in the defeat of Window, by pub.
fishing extracts from the Inter Ocean
which goes into detail over the "mean-
ing of the opposition to Window" say
ing there were plans laid by the whisky
ring in which Window was to be defeat
ed, and goes on to show how the cam
paign was carried out. This may be
balm of consolation to WINDOWS friends,
but how does it account for the defeat of
Dunnell, the alleged champion of the
whisky ring? If it was powerful enough
to defeat Window, man who had the
support of every public official in the
state, why could it not have elected Dun
nell, a man whom they knew was in their
interest? 1t seems to us that it is poor
rule that won't work both ways. Let

for his defeat to the arrogant position as
sumed by some of his fool friends and or
gans throughout the canvass for members
of the legislature last fall and in the pres
ent contest before the legislature. With
a lordly air and turkey gobbler strut they
have assumed that Mr.. Window was the
only great and virtueus man in the State,
and that to oppose him was not only
party treason, but evidence of an exceed
ingly low grade of intellect and. morals.

Prison Horrors of To-Day.

Prison horrors are being fully ventilated
before the New York Assembly Commit
tee. The graphic description given by
not only ex-convicts, but by ex-guards,
show that the treatment of prisoners in
the state penitentiaries is even more dam
nable than that received by those who
were confined in the horrible black-hole
of Calcutta. Padding" claiming down
in dark and loathsoms dungeon, where
not single Whit Of pure air ever enters,
without bed or covering, and not even an
opportunity to ever wash themselves,
seems to be the mode of punishment that
the wardens most delight in. Men are
subjected to this treatment for six, eight,
ten and twelve months at time, and if
they live through its terrors, it appears
from all accounts to be invariably at the
cost of their mental equilibrium, and
when taken out have to be Immediately
sent to the Auburn Lunatic asylum. Pris-
eners are fortunate if they receive one
clean shirt year. and it is common for
them to buy clothing of each other, if by
any means they can possess themselves of
a suitable medium Of exchange, and men
reduced to such desperate straits will
always ind way. In addition to all the
ordinary horrors Of a screened cell" a. it
is called in many instances the convicts
are subjected to such prolonged starva-
ton that even the keepers hearts melt in
mercy, and to relieve the pangs Of hunger
catch live rats and throw in to the unfor-
Inmates who seize and devour the living
rodents with the barbarous relish and
avidity Of cannibals. Very few Of the
convicts die natural deaths. All of this is
happening in America, the land Of the
free and the home Of the brave, in the
