THE ELMIRA RE REFORMATORY. | The New York State reformatory at Elmi- I "a is looked upon by all acquainted with it's workings as the most cheerful and cheering ! prison ill the world. Under the system in | use there many are entirely reformed, and
 much is done for most of those who go there. The report of the superintendent of the in- stitution has just been presented to thelegis- lature and it contains much that is interest ing.
 There was an increase of nineteen per cent. in the number of inmates of the reformatory in 1885 over it's population in 1884, but the increase is not regarded as an indication of an increase in crime, but rather as proof that the system pursued at the reformatory has come to be so much better known and has so increased in favor with those entrust- ed with commitment of offenders against the
 laws that many prisoners of the kind which had been previously sent to State prisons were last year committed to the Elmira in stitution. A change in the law will hereaf- ter restrict the discretion of the courts to sending to Elmira actual first offenders in
 stead of first offenders in felony, was the
 case before the change in the law. It is ex- pected that under the amended code the con
 siderable class of criminals that have previ-
 ously served for misdemeanors in jails houses
 of refuge and county penitentiaries will be
 excluded from the reformatory. But the
 superintendent says that ''it is pitiful to
 contemplate the youth so excluded and sent,
 as they must be, into the pernicious moral
 atmosphere of great adult convict prisons,' and if iS his belief that tbase E'ShOuld he
 grouped, with others like them to be selected
 from the prison in a reformatory prison and special efforts be made for their reclamation"
 Considering what has been done at Elmra
 this suggestion is entitled to attention.
 A chart which accompanies the report shows that ignorance, improvidenee and in- digence are the common incentives to crime.
 Such natures, the superintendent declares,
 ''can be reformed only by the most system atic and delicate training of the body, the
 mind and the will" The removal of ignor- ance by education, of improvidence and in- digence by voluntary earning and saving,
 ''seem to be indispensable clements in any rational, effective reformative system of prison management" This conclusion leads to discussion of the subject of convict la-
 Dor. It is the opinion of the superintendent that complete protection against unnatural competition from prison manufactures is se
 cured ''when the prisoners as operatives
 work like citizens outside, namely, for their own individual subsistence, themselves hay ing to their credit going rates' fer their work out of which they must pay for all they have" There is sense in this.

MORNING. FEBRUARY A, 1886.

New Jersey, became financially embarrassed having incurred debts for extravagant public Improvements far beyond the capacity of the city to pay, except by vast sacrifice on the part of the people. Ever since then the leg islature has been doing something for the re- lief of Elizabeth, devising ways in which taxes might be levied and collected for cur rent expenses without officers upon whom writs could be served for satisfying judg- ments. The result is 8 series of acts which make it possible for any city to repudiate it's debts and defy it's creditors. This condition of things having been discovered, it is affect ing injuriously the credit of the municipali- ties and there begins to be demand for the repeal of some of these laws.
 Mr. Hiram Atkins pronunciamento con corning Senator Edmunds' chances of re- election has, it is asserted by a correspond ent of the Boston Advertiser, dispelled any doubt which might have existed. This, he reports, is the opinion of Vermont Demo- crats as well as of Vermont Republicans. To the latter MT. Atkins, with his record for apprehension, is utterly odious. eff there is any one thing above all the rest which the Republicans of Vermont will not do," says the correspondent, Git is to render aid and comfort to Hiram Atkins He makes in- teresting contribution to political history: I am able to contradict the report wn t!aas been so industriously circulated in Vermont to MT. Edmunds' injury, that he refused to speak for the Republican ticket during the last presidential campaign. The truth is that he offered his services as speaker to the Republican national committee, un- asked, at the same time frankly telling them of the existence of certain written state ments made by him in the spring of 19SS. He left it for them to say whether, in view of the probability that those statements would be made public, it was prudent for him to make any addresses The committee decided it was not, and that is the reason, and the sole reason, why Mr. Edmunds did not take a more active part in the campaign. MT. Edmunds did not 'ssulk in his tent'' as has been alleged. He was earnest for the success of the Republican ticket and voted for it on election day. But the national committee decided that it was not expedient that he should speak, on account of his un- favorable opinion of MT. Blaine, written in 1880, which was in the hands of third party.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Punch printed a cartoon representing Punch in the act of hanging the Lcndon so- cialists, Burns, Hyndman, Champion and Williams. These men have applied to the court to have the editors of Punch commit ted for contempt in exciting the public mind before their trial is finished The free ex- pression of opinion does not seem to suit some socialists when it is directed against them.
 The proposition before Congress to organ ize two regiments of cowboys to fight the h. dians is reinforced by the story of the inter- view between General Sheridan and the big chief who came to him with request for a cannon. "What do you want of cannonf demanded Sheridan. "Do you want to kill my soldiersa" 'tNo," replied the savage; 'skill soldiers with club; want cannon to kill cowboys"
 Our esteemed contemporary the Register has had two powerful articles based on the idea that MT. H. T. Sperry, the nominee for Insurance commissioner, is an owner of in- surance stock. If the Register had taken pains to inquire it could easily have discov cred that MT. Sperry does not own g dollars worth of insurance stock. Therefore his case is not so much like that of Garland as the Register professes to think.
 The population of London now exceeds that of every other city, ancient or modern, in the world. New York and all it's adjacent cities combined are not equal to two-thirds of it. Scotland, Switzerland and the Aus tralian colonies each contain fewer souls, while Norway, Servia, Greece and Denmark have scarcely half so many. Yet at the be- ginning of the present century the popula- tion of all London did not reach one million.
 Professional petition signers have been do- ing good business in Harrisburg, Pennsyl- vania. The law requires that an application for license shall be signed by twelve citi zens who believe that the applicant is per- son of good character. It has been found that on 94 applications there were ,129 names, 214 of which had appeared 725 times. Some persons had signed two petitions, some three, some as many as ten, and one man had signed seventeen. How profitable the busi- ness is the investigations have not yet made plain.
 Mortality tables for the year 1885 publish
 
 ed by the New York State board of health show that of each 1000 deaths in the mari time district (New York city, Long Island, Staten Island and Westchester county) only S.S7 were caused by typhoid fever, while in the Hudson valley district (to the head of navigation, including Albany and Troy) the number was 27.S5, and in no other district did it fall below 19. This remarkable differ ence is due, of course, to many causes, but doubtless the main cause was the quality of the drinking water. The great cities that rely exclusively upon pure public supply of water do not suffer from typhoid as the smaller cities and villages do whose people take water from wells or from other sources that are open to pollution.

keepers apron and pointing his nose at the empty dish when the milk exhausted to give pantomimic expression to the necessity prevailing.
 Day after day the Indian dog continued to devote himself to the care of the kitten, and as the little animal grew strong and frisky he was very watchful in keeping it from be- ing trodden upon. Whenever the place was crowded, or when even a single individual was present who in Tobe's opipion had drank enough to make it matter of doubt at each step where he would step next, the kitten would find herself snatched up by the neck, lugged behind the bar and imprisoned there until it was again safe for her to go abroad. A new trait developed itself in Tobe's char acter. Nobody had ever thought he would fight under any circumstances. His habit had been, when he was kicked, to dart be- hind the bar without an attempt to resent the indignity, although his manner might show that his feelings were hurt. If a strange dog came in he would disappear promptly. As the kittens guardian, how ever, his boldness passed belief. If any body hurt the kitten, or even affected to be about to do so, Tobe sprang eagerly to do battle in it's defence, and instead of lodging encounters with wayfaring canines he now sprang upon them with astounding ferocity if they even looked at his ward. Until the kitten grew old enough to take good care of itself Tobe's vigilance was never relaxed.
 From the first morning that he assumed guardianship of the feline waif he had been closely watched by appreeiative men whose hearts warmed rapidly to the ugly but faith full and intelligent dog. James Nixon, the veteran circus manager, happened to be read ing his morning paper by the stove when Tobe gave the kitten it's first enforced meal and from his telling of the incident it was but few days until the Indian dog was the center of an admiring interest that grew daily, until now there is not one who former ly pronounced him mo good' that does not speak in his praise, say kind words to him and-what he appreciates much more-giye him occasional Jumps of sugar.

Consumption
 Conquered !! WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE.

CHAS. A. CABRERA, 32 Hawley Street,
 Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle took new lease of life, and can honestly say to-day that one spoonful of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold I fly to it for the relief it never fails to give.'
 DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR- DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
