PRISON ABUSES.

The horrors of the Siberian convict
mines are collapsed by the developments
that ara being made regarding the treat.
ment of ~penitentiary prisoners In Tennes-
see. In a libel suit of the penitentiary
officials against the Nashville Banner,
which made the exposures. one witness
testifed that he had seen convicts at
Goal Creek cook and eat rats In the mines.
Convicts worked In six and twelve inche s
of water eight hours per day, and also
also labored Sunday nights. The mines
were filthy, the air bad, the clothing
soanty, and the food insufficient. They
were whipped for failing to complete
tasks, and their cries were heard seventy
yards distant. Another witness, a prison
doctor, testified that the convlcts needed
more clothing, that the bedding was dirty;
and that the average num-
Der of deaths per month was
five. Still another witness
swore that q convict, who had complained
of being sick, was whipped mi day and
died the next. 1t wal shown by the evil
dsnce OF a former prison doctor that fire..
quently men were whipped two or three
times a day until their bodies were Bills
tered. While he was on duty there were
six convicts shot, several had their legs
broken, and six or eight had their feet
and hands Frost bitten. Another witness
swore that he Iaw the deputy warden
whip a convict until he was exhausted
and then the lash was passed to two
other men, who tired themselve, out In
beating the victim. On another occa'
sion the deputy warden gave a convict
thirty-6ve lashes. The evidence all the
way through shows that the convicts have
been treated In the most cruel and inhu'
man manner, compared to which the dis
cipline and punishments OF the Siberian
oonvic.s are kind and gentle. 1t lookl
as if the Nashville Banner would moi
only establish Its case, but send tn,

VALENTINE POSING AS AN ANTI
MONOPOLIST.

The bill repeating the presumption,
timber culture and desert land laws came
before the house yesterday on a motion
to send it to the committee on public
lands. 1t is a house bill with senate
amendments. In the course of q short
debate Mr.. Valentine, of Nebraska; MIR.
Perkins, of Kansas; Mr.. Converse, of
Ohio, aud Mr.. MagInnis, of Montana.
opposed the motion and the bill
upon the ground that the
measure had been framed and
passed in the interest of railway corpora
lions and cattle kings. The motion was
defeated-166 to 93-there being less
than two thirds in the affirmative. If the
laws in question could be enforced,
and IL those who have come into pos.
session of millions of scres of land by
means of fraud and perjury could be
punished, 1t would not be advisable to
enact this repeating statute. But abun-
dant evidence has been laid before con-
gress to the effect that for years these
laws have existed mainly for the benefit
of thieves, and that for reasons not fully
explained 1t is impo ,sible to emf force them
or to punish the guilty. By a fraudulent
USE of the same laws the cattle kings
have secured a firm foundation for thei-
great ranges. In view of the reports
made by ths land Office 1t is difficult to
regard the opposition of Mr.. Valentine
and his friends as sincere.--NeW York
Times.

FENIAN

The idea of organizing a band of Feni-
ans in this country for the purpose of
joining the Mshdl apd driving the En-
glish out of Egypt is absurd on Its face.
The general publicity given to the scheme
shows that q few designing leaders sim.
ply want to feather their own nests by
collecting a large amount Of money from
the Irish working people who have so
often been humbugged by loud.mouthed
blatherskites into contributing to so.called
"funds." If these Fenisn leaders were
really in earnest and wanted to go to
Egypt to join hands with the Arabs, they
would organize quietly and secretly.
Furthermore, they would not attempt to
sail in a body for Egypt on any one yes
sol, but they would go In email squads
and singly. The moment that they
should attempt to start with a ve!sol,
squlppod with arms and ammunitions of
war, with a deliberate, hostile design, 1t
would be the duty of our government to
seizs the vessel In order to prevent this
country from becoming involved in a
quarrel with England. And again, If the
Fenlan craft ahould escape such seizure
1t would never be able to land Its troops
80 that they could reach the Mahdi. 1t
would be certain to be captured
by English wal vessels. No
real friend of Ireland can see
any advantage to be gained from such a
fool-harjy adventure, because 1t is be.
gun In bravsdo and gssconade, and must,
if actually attempted, end In a humilist-
ing failure, as all other Fenian raids have
resulted, and which have never done the
Irish people any particular good. The
object Of the whole scheme, as we have al.
ready intimated, is to establish a ''skirm.
ishing fund" for the collection Of hard
earned money from the Irish working.
men and women In order to keep a lot Of
idle Mathematics In cash. 50 they car con.
tinue to skirmish around the bsr-rooms
of New York and other large eastern
cities, and who will never join the False
Prophet, except in their imagination.
They are only seeking the profit thai
arises from obtaining money under false
pretenses.
One of the sensible and practical
ways to help Ireland in this country
would be to pay the passage of poor Itist
people to this country and give them {
start towards earning an independent
livelihood. Another way, which perhaps
might be the most satisfactory, would b
to assist them to buy the lands In Irelant

THE gas consumers of New York are
just beginning to learn how they have
been robbed. 1t has been discovered by
the senate investigating committee that
in 1874 while The gas sold at 1915 per
per thousand feet, the cost was 81 90; In
1876-77 the cost was So cents, and the
selliug price was 81 so. In 1879, when
the price fell to 81 90, the cost was So
cents. In 1880 the price was raised to
1926, while the cost Of manufacturing
was reduced to 90 cents, and the follow
Ing year to 40 cents. During the Last
thirteen years the earnings of the Mu.
tual company amounted to 81, 756, 62T, Of
which amount 8 1925, 600 was paid out in
dividends. OF the surplus over the diyi.

the company to share with onsume by
reducing the price of gas was raited
down by the company. itself 10 bonds and
stocks. Since the consolidation Of the
various companies, although the price Of
gas has been somewhat reduced, the con
sumers' bills srs greater than ever, as the
meters no doubt have been made to reg
ister fast so as to shoE a larger quantity
Of gas consumed. The result is that the
citizens of New York have organized a
society to resist the extortions of the gas
companies.
