The escape of Chun Hook. a regu-
lar desperate. has called public at
tention to the laxity that prevails with
regard to prisoners Escapes have
been frequent, but, being escapes of
men convicted of minor offences. few
people have cared much about them.
Now that such a notorious scoundrel.
however, is at large. people begin to
talk, they feel very much as if lion
or some other wild beast had got loose.
A number go TO bed at night and
wonder if they may not be awakened
by the fearful apparition of Mr.. Chun
Hook. They really need have no fear.
Chun Hook Is as anxious to keep out
Of sight. for the present. as they are
that Chun Hook should not put in an
appearance. There Is no reason for a
scare.
But why was this rascal allowed to
escape? There can be only one reply
to that-pure carelessness. As far as
we can learn. the last seen of Chun
Hook. lie was playing chequers with
another prisoner. Truly things have
come to pretty pass when prisoners.

head TO keep. have time and opportu-
nifty 10 play chequers. We are given
10 understand that on the occasion in
question Mr. Chun Hook did not care
to indulge in the luxury of bath. so
while his fellow prisoners took their
swim, Mr.. c. II. continued his little
game and it Is not very surprising
that on the return of the prison lunas
he was non est. This we believe to be
the true unYarnished tale.
Such a man should never have been
allowed outside of the prison walls:
it is not the first time that he has es-
capped. and knowing the desperate
character of the scoundrel, particular
pains should have been taken to pre-
vent any chance Of escape.
The manner In which prisoners are
allowed to wander round the city.
strikes every new conner with surprise.
The fact Is, that to a certain class our
prison system Is no deterrent at all.
They are well fed. they do not have
TO work as hard as they would have
70 IN order to earn an honest liYeli-
hood. they are able to have both to
baeco and an occasional glass of liquor
and they are perfectly content. Is 1t
not time that there should be some
prison reform2

ALASKA GOLD.

correspondent of the Marquette
Mining Journal writes glowing reports
about the prospects of Alaska as a gold
field. He states that the mill on Douglas
Island is running to its full capacity, and
is turning out bullion at the rate of $780,
600 month, not counting the concer-
trates, which are rapidly accommodating
for the want of sufficient roasters in the
chlorination works. The capacity of the
mine must not, however, be judged even
by the value of both the bullion and con-
centrates now turned out; it is large
enough to supply rock for half dozen
Such mills: and the foundation for second
mill OF The same size as the one now in
operation is already laying. 1t is esti-
mated that there are at least twenty mil
lion tons of quartz above the tunnel
level. Concerning the Silver Bay (Fuller)
claims. there is nothing new. In the
Silver Bay District there are some very
rich mines, and all that has been lacking
until now has been a reasonable amount
of capital to be honestly and judiciously
applied in their development The sue
cess of the Douglas Island venture will,
it is thought, assure the erection of more
stamp mills in Alaska during the next
five years than were ever in operation in
California and Nevada at one time.

HEMP OR ELECTRICITY.

A dispatch from Buffalo, N. Y, states
that State Senator Mcmillan of that dis
trlct has introduced in the Legislature
bill which provides for the appointment
OF commission to investigate and report
the most humane method OF inficting
capital punishment. The bill is of i'm
portance to all who look upon hanging as
relic of barbarism and are interested in
having the method of capital punishment
changed. Science is so far advanced that
other and better means than hanging
can easily be devised. 1t is proposed
to execute criminals by means of
electricity, by which death would
be instantaneous. The method which
is proposed is very simple The idea is
to use an ordinary chair In this city
wire could be run from the electric light
works to the jail, The man would sit in
the chair, with his head resting against
its back. The wire entering an insulated
substance, such as rubber or glass. |
would constitute the positive pole. By
placing the mans feet upon a metallic |
plate a connection would be formed with !
the poles. At signal a switch in an
other room could be turned. The cur
rent would enter the base of the brain.
the centre of the nervous system. and |
pass through the man. The heart would |
stop beating, and complete paralysis
would ensue
The Chicago Herald thinks that Sem
ator Mcmillan viii have some difficulty
in securing the passage OF his bill provid-
ing for the change. Itsays: "The rope
has become a fixture whenever capital
is inflicted among English
speaking people, and it is likely to remain
so. Properly used, it does not infict a
painful death, but it does produce an ig-
one. That is the reason
why it is used. No method of
leath that is not positively barbar- :
,us is more abhorred by the aver
age human being than that OF hanging.
Since the penalty is imposed for the de- t
erring influence which it will have on S
'thers, it is proper that it should be as
epellant as possible. So far as the cul-
'rit himself is concerned, it makes no q

LOGAN'S ARMY BILL.
Lively Debate in the Senate-Not
Wanted for a Show or
ssCircuS,s,

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Fair laid be.
fore the Senate the memorial of an anti
Chinese convention, held at Sacramento
California, praying some relief from the
Chinese evil.
aiter the routine morning business, Lo-
gan's army bill was placed before the
senate Logan sent to the desk and had
read a letter from General Sheridan IA
vorlng the proposed increase. Mr.. Lo-
gan favored it.
Mr.. Plumb opposed it. He thought if
singular that while we are SO thoroughly
at peace measure OF this kind should
be introduced. He had been sorry to
near the suggestion that an increased
army was necessary to put down local
troubles among our own people. If
would not doto instill into peoples minds
this lesson of force as a remedy for such
troubles. The present proposition was
one calculated to develop more frills
furbelows, shoulder-straps and decor,
ations.
MIR. Dawes favored the bill. Control
through an army was not the control
desired. Self-control, Dawes said. was
the characteristic of our people and would
see them through all their differences.
Mr.. Teller saw no cause for an increase.
Violence in State should be put down
by the people of the State It was not
desirable to resort to standing army for
ponce purposes, and the people did not
intend that local disturbances should be
put down by National troops.

THE BORDER INDIANS.

The Mexican troops in Sonora have their
hands full at the present time, fighting
Apaches and getting in readiness to under
take a campaign against tine faquls.
The latter Indians. says the San Fran
cisco Post, have excited the envy OF their
Mexican neighbors for many years.
They own their own lands, which they
cultivate industriously; they have forti-
fed towns, and they have reached
a tolerable pitch of civilization.
They have repelled their invaders,
not in Apache fashion, by sneaking
into the recesses of the mountains and
firing out pursuit, but by defeating them
in fair fights Their enemies always
know where to find them, and heretofore
the nominally civilized people of Sonora
have found them as the Turks found the
Montenegrins, too tough morsel to
manage. Now, it is said, a campaign has
been undertaken that cannot fail to sue
ceed. The Yaquis are to be subdued and
robbed of their lands, and the people of
Sonora are no longer to be tormented by
the sight of something they are unable to
steal. 1t may be SO, but our, sympathies
60 with the Indians.
The case of the Apaches is totally diff
ferent. There is absolutely no discover
able reason for their existence. They
will neither work nor fight, but pursue
robbery for living and assassination for
If the Mexican soldiers
who are prosecuting the Yaquis would

my useful results.

THE PAYNE INVESTIGATION.

The investigation of the circumstances
connected with the election OF Henry B.
Payne to the United States Senate is
nearing an end. The men who insti-
gated it, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
are preparing the way for confession of
failure
The provocation of this investigation
was the specific charge made by Sim
Donavin that certain Senators and Repre-
sentatives received certain sums of money
named for voting for MIR. Payne in the eau
Gus. We were given to understand that
remarkable revelations were going to be
made.
The committee has been diligently at
work for nearly two months, junketing
about the State prying into the private
affairs of various people and making all
sorts of impertinent inquiries. 1t has
thrown out drag net for all the liars
and slanderers, all the soreheaded and
disappointed politicians in the State, and
has hunted down every rumor or bit of
barroom gossip that it could hear of.
And now, when all is done, the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette, that has been
shr' El'g doodle every day and pro-
c. m.ng that Senator Payne would be
dI.,en oat Of the Senate, remarks OF the
probable result:
TEe Payne investigation is coming to q
close, SO far as Ohio is concerned. The facts |
seam TO be that there has not been found the |
a. ?iute proof of the guilt of the four men, |
'.rs OF the present House who took part in |
ehe election of Mr.. Payne.
What, then, is it that the committee is
expected TO report? What, then, is to be !
the outcome of this costly investigation?
Simply what was intended should come
out OF it when it was started The mass
OF hearsay evidence, idle tales of newspa-
per CORE p9ndents hired 10 misrepre-
sent, maUcion nuendoes of hot-headed
partisans, of disappointed rival candi-
dates. and the tittle-tattle OF hotel loi,-
bleS and bar-rooms must be made use of
in the Republican newspapers as Re-
publican campaign ammunition in this
and other States. And the United States
Senate will be asked to assist in this pro-
mitigation OF calumry by ordering fur
ther investig3 ion upon the wretched
stuff accumulated by the Ohio Repub-
lican Committee.
Character is to be aspersed, regulations
assalled by naneless slanderers, the fair
fame of honorable men dragged in the
mud by malignant partisans, in order that
the Republican party OF Ohio may divert
attention from its own venality and it's
paucity of real issues.
This is the confessed purpose of the ,
Payne investigation. This is Republican :

NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED.

The Senate yesterday confirmed the
nominations of number Of Internal
Revenue Collectors and officers of the
Mint Bureau, the Secretary of the Treas
ury having answered all of the inquiries
that have been addressed to him by the
Senate Committee on Finance with re-
spect to the suspension of their prede-
cessors in office. The reasons given for
the suspensions in each case are the
same, and are that the President believed
a change in the offices referred to was
essential to the interests of the service.
This releases about eighty nominations
that have been hung up, and includes
collectors in New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois, Iowa and Kentucky.

SIR ANDREW CLARKE, the celebrated
English physician, at an inaugural meet

defined health as ''that state in which the
body is not consciously present to us, the
state in which work is easy and duty not
over great trial, the state in which it is
Joy to see, to think, to feel and to be-"
Such a condition of health, Sir Andrew
thinks, is not common among men, and,
judged by this rule, he declared that one

the Senator from Kansas (Plumb) that
because the laborers were poorly paid, the
soldiers should not be better paid than at
present. Logan thought that very poor
argument. 1t was very singular that
most of the wealthy bankers who were
rich enough to be hardly able to count
their money, were always found to be the
friends of the workingmen. Laughter
in the gallery.l This was all right for
rich man to do, but when anything was
said for the workingmen by those who
had the actual experience of the work
ingmen, that was altogether improper.
1t was an unwarrantable assumption for
any Senator to intimate that this bill was
now introduced with view to any i'm
pending difficulty between labor and
capital. Why this insinuating that there
was desire to use the army against
the people? 1t seemed to some
men that any statement that would
iniure another was a sweet morsel.
1t was an unfounded and unworthy in
situation. Referring to the suggestion
that the increase of the army was wanted
for show-"for a circus"-Mr. Logan re-
PEELED it. The people did not want any
"show" about it. They had "show and
circus" enough in the Senate. Laughter.
And while the Senatorial circus was on,
he did not know any more active per-
formers than the Senators who were op-
posed to this bill. [Renewed laughter. /
In conclusion, Logan said Republicanism
was becoming a power the world over,
and the United States should be pre-
pared to say to the first European power
that attempts foothold in America,
Lay on, Macduff, and damned be he |
who first cries hold, enough" [Applause
