That Infamous relic of barbarsm the Lud-
low street Jail has been presented by New
York grand jury as a place where repulslve
and illegal abuses exist and where outrages
are committed which mo penal institution
would be permitted to perpetrate upon con-
victs." 1t seems from the grand jury's
prescntmcnt that the jail is horribly I'M
clean; that liquor is freely sold to the pris'
oners and that the cardinal principle upon
which the Jail seems TO be conducted is to
compel inmates to take board at the keep

A Growing Evil.

One Of the cIeverest of men
once said, "Society prepares the
crime: the culprit but executes
it." The thought was in our
minds several times this week on
seeing prostitutes and their at
tendant pimps parading our
streets. The unfortunate .crea-
lures are ofttimes deserving OF
pity because of their fallen condi-
tion, bat they should be made
know that decency forbids
this constant display. 1t has
got to be so that a decent
woman. cannot GO down to the
San Francisco steamer without
being jostled 10y one of these social
outcasts. The thing is getting to
he a growing evil. 1t IS not
pleasant TO talk about, but we
think it is necessary. No man
wants his wife or daughter or
sister compelled to iorego a walk
upon our thoroughfares by reason
of the proximity of these creatures.
They are unfortunately an appar-
ent part of our ''civilization," but
are getting altogether too bold,
and should be made understand it.

That Railroad.
ME. EDITOR:

ME. EDITOR:
1t was promised US that we
should have an answer in co days
regarding the building of the rail-
road. AS you say, time is out,
and no answer. Now, does it
seem to any reasonable man that
anything is intended to be done
this year excepting to postpone
the matter until after next con-
gress? There is one small sur
veying party in the field, it is true.
In something less than four
months they have done one-third
of the distance. At the present
rate there will be twelve months
taken in surveying one route. At
the same rate for other routes
something like three years will be
taken in surveying. An extension
of time will probably then be
asked for two or three years more
in which to build the road.
In the meantime railroads are
being built to other points on the
coast without any grant, without
any subsidy. There is no land
grant in the way, it is true, to va
quina Bay, Coos Bay, or to Gray's
Harbor. IL Astoria had her land
grants out Of the way her railroad
would have been built long ago.
Now what should we do? Our
policy is plain. We should ac-
cept of the proposition of any other
company to build a railroad, even
If it costs one or two hundred
thousand dollars subsidy, and get
the land grant forfeited. We have
waited too long for promises oi
those that would keep us back un.
til every other point on the coast
has a railroad first.

A CnIcAGo dispatch says Chi
cagO paid dearly for its celebration
of the national independence anni-
versary. The record of death and
bloody wounds is horrifying in the
extreme. Between 6 o'clock A. NJ.
and midnight the total number of
casualties footed y-eight, in
cluding three deaths, five persons
fatally wounded, twenty-three
more or less hurt and manned for
life and five slightly injured. The
chief instrument of irresponsible
murder was toy pistols in the
hands of children, ably supported
by small cannon.

Village Meeting.

The adjourned village meeting at Capt.
tai Hall, last Monday evening, was fully
attended. The committee appointed at
the meeting two weeks previous reported
recommending taking water from the out
let (Benjamln's brook of Berlin pond, at
a reservoir at Doten's, for tho reason that
the water would be better, more OF it, and
because it would be cheaper. In their
opinions and in the figures which they sub
mitted, they were corroberated by L. Z.
Lowell the engineer of the water works at
Fitchburgh, Mass.
The plan the committee favored and re-
commended was for q twelve inch IRON
pipe from the outlet of the reservoir 10 a
place in the Berlin road, near M. b. lay
lor's, where an eight inch branch pipe
would connect with the main line anu
continue down Berlin street, crossing the
river by the railroad bridge. near the
Nicholas block, and again connect win
the main system on Montpelier slde' Inc
main pipe from Taylor's would be reduced
to a len inch pipe, and cross the river al
CT. Sabin's, run down Barre street to
Shepherds corner, with pipes or mains
from s to 2 inches extending over the en-
tire village, for water for private use and
with hydrants within 300 feet OF every
house in the village The estimate expensed
is as follows:
