A Revolving Jail.

ssE n At0VMV4AS o0AA' 3#4
Omaha is building a new Jail, the
construction Of which is novel and
interesting Its peculiar feature,
which marks it as different from any
other, is that the cells are arranged in
the form of great iron cylinder, which
only revolves about so that one cell is
at the opening at any one time. This
cylinder is three stories high, there be-
ing ten cells OH each floor. Its weight
is forty-fye tons, and this ponderous
weight is hung from above instead of
turning on tack below. The strang-
est part of the arrangement is that the
great cylinder can be turned by SIM
pie crank with very little force, a man
with his left hand moving it readily.
When it is complete it is the intention
to have little Watermelon i'll the
basement, and then by simply moving
a lever the cylinder will be SET to rota-
ting. 1T is suggested that when there
are prisoners who, it is feared, may be
trying to cut out the cylinder, can, by
a motor, be easily kept moving all night,
so that the prisoners do not remain
long enough in one place TO do any mis-
chief. or even to crawl out if they had
made partial break. Tt seems that pris-
oners have little chance for escape from
the new Jail. A cage Of iron bars COM
pletely surrounds the cylinder in which
the cells are. The entrance on each
floor is guarded by two doors. The
officer standing outside does not have
to unlock even the first door, but can
swing the cylinder around until the cell
appears in which is the desired prison
er, and then by a simple movement the
inner door is opened and the prisoner
can step out of his cell Then the Off
Ger can open the other door and let the
man out, but the other prisoners are
away beyond the reach Of the officer,
and it is impossible for them to make
any break on him while he is taking
man out or putting one in. He can
handle any number of men in the same
way, and they cannot reach him until
he chooses to let them. Omaha Bee.

New YORK city is about to smear parafine

thence. 1t will be remembered that good

Some more smearing has been done by the
same party that elected Payne in Ohio In
one precinct in Cincinnati Governor Hoadlv

vote for President one year ago, and over
twice as many as Mr.. Cleveland received.
This was done in order to obviate the neces-

DID Judge Ayres mean anything by his
midnight orderf If he did, did not Holt and
Little Ayres defantly disobey it9 If they did
disobey it, did they have secret and unrecord-
ed authority for the disobedience7 If they
had no such authority, but smashed the bal

going to do anything to vindicate the honor

in which Judge Ayres has more interest than

THE News saws:

"Presentnent should be made of the fact
that certain commissioners appointed by the
court to make recount of the ballots smashed
the boxes with a Ratchet This is violation
OF the law and contempt Of court, all in one,
it seems to u.s. and it ought to be brought be-
fore the court for action promptly. and pun
ishment swift and severe should follow. If
this thing is allowed to go unwhipped of
justice it will be blow to this community
from which it won't recover ia years."
Precisely this same presentment was made
to Judge Ayres; but being "a Democrat in
politics" as the Sentinel says, the Judge de-
cided that he could do nothing with others
who are Democra in politics. We want to
see the presentment made to the grand jury
or to the Criminal Court, where the question
of partisan politics may not have so much
weight in determining judicial questions as in
the Circuit Court.

The scandalous proceedings at General
Hazen's school of instruction will not it is
said, be ignored by the Secretary of War; and
it is reported that eventually those who de-
serve punishment will get their deserts. There
ought to be no doubt Of this. The prigs who
insulted the attorneys for the young men who
properly protested against the severity of the
snobs set over them, should be taught lesson
they will never forget by being cashiered as
officers; gentlemen they never were nor never
can be. And the attention Of Congress should
be directed at once to the scandalous incom-
potency and decentralization of the Signal
Service, particularly since General Hazen was
appointed its chief officer. Here is an in
viting field for real, serviceable reform.

The Sentinel cannot find in the Journal a
word of unkindness toward Judge Ayres.
Pending the controversy which ended in his
decision that he had no power to protect his
court from insult and contempt, the Journal
was particular to speak in the most respectful
and hopeful terms Of the Judge, his character,
and his expected action. We confess to have
been greatly disappointed; but the rea-
son Of that disappointment may be
found in the fact the Sentinel
now parades as his justification: 'They 1.-THE
papers] knew he was in politics a Democrat,
and had been elected as such" Since this
authoritative declaration that, as a Judge,
Judge Ayres is Democrat, the Journal will
be excused for treating him as such, when
ever question of partisan politics arises. We
are sorry that such necessity is forced upon
us, but the Sentinel, speaking as by authority,
forces it.

WHAT transpired over the telephone be-
tween the Democratic recount commissioners
and Judge Ayres-the former in his court
room here, and the latter in Danville? The
Judge knew that ballot-box had been
smashed open with a Ratchet, and that the
Democratic commissioners were proposing to
go ahead with recount despite the ''order" he
had given to Sullivan and Coy nine hours be-
fore. After the telephone interview, Holt
and Little Ayres came out and said: 'We
will go ahead with business" Did they get
authority for ballot-box smashing and an IL

1T is a kind provision that very few evils
are unmixed. Joseph was made slave in
Egypt, which was hard on Joseph, but an in
cidental result was store of provisions
against the day Of famine. Joseph's brothers
were inclined at first to felicitate themselves
on the good fortune that had overtaken their
boy brother, whom they had wantonly sold
for money; but the boy-brother, now grown
to be man, reminded them that they had
intended evil, and no thanks to them that
good had come of it.
Well, one good is coming Of this Demo
cratic administration-two or three, for that
matter; but we refer to one only to-day, leav
ing the reform which has been effected by the
appointment of Jail birds, x-penitentiary con-
victs and the like to office, and few other
conspicuous results, to another occasion.
Ever since the close of the war a lot of Dem
ocrats have been engaged in illicit distilling
in the several Democratic States of the South.
In attempting to collect the revenue from
them more than five hundred government
officers and their posses, and willing or unwill
ing witnesses, have been murdered by these
Democratic distillers, and they still carry on
their unlawful business. Already singular
complication exists. The Revenue Depart
ment at Washington dares not connive at
this business by calling off its agents, and the
marshals and deputy marshals don't care to
bare their sacred Democratic bosoms to the
bullets Of their mountain brethren. But they
have to, and here comes the tug of
war. Hitherto it was Republicans who
were killed. These moonshiners had
been taught, in general way,
that Republican had no right to live any
how, and they shot without conjunction, and
the average Democratic citizen approved in
his heart so the murders went on in spite of
United States courts and revenue collectors
But change has come with the change of
administration. The revenue officers and the
United States marshals and their posses are
Democrats-bone of their bone and flesh of
their flesh, as it were; and now to shoot
revenue officer is to shoot Democrat, and as
the posses are composed mostly of tony young
men of Democratic families or we'll to-do old

says: "In order to give Mr.. Hendricks a cast

best chances are in New York, New Jersey,

for the Legislature. The present Upper
Chamber at Albany has in it nineteen Repub-
licans and thirteen Democrats Of the seats
they now hold, the Republicans will probably
lose the Oneida county district; but they will

most, it seems almost beyond possibility 70,
