that there are corners and dark

grossly erroneous to declare that
isolated evils Of the times cover all
that there is of politics and of the

a boil or a stone-bruise that his body

because there are vicious corners, in

Cargoes Of Criminals.

The "Zizhni-Fovgorod' is an iron
steamship of about $500 tons burden,
and especially fitted as convict
transport With full complement of
convicts the vessel carries 652. The
officers and crew number eighty, ex-
elusive of a marine convoy of sixty
two men specially chosen for this duty.
The iron barred compartments or
cages in which the convicts are con-
fined run parallel, fore and aft, on either
side the upper and lower tween decks.
The iron bars, an inch thick. of these
cages and the woodwork in which they
are set is heavily and solidly construct
ed The cages are of unequal capacity
and length, but have uniform height
of seven and half feet. The more
desperate characters are manacled and
chained to iron staples in their berths,
from which they are released when
necessary. The greater number. al
though retaining the waist and ankle
shackles, of light construction, have
the freedom of trayersing the length
Of the compartments, which may vary
from twenty-five to forty feet. Be-
tween the outer bars and the two
plain plank shelves or hunks running
from end to end of the compartments
which afford sleeping room for the oc-
cupants, there is free space of about
four and a half or five feet.
Except during the distribution of
rations no culinary vessels are left
with the conyicts. Even the drinking
water is obtained only through an
india rubber mouthpiece fixed in an
enclosed water tank and through
which the driuker sucks his draught.
Immediately outside the cages and at
tached to the under part of the deck
overhead is a steam pipe connected
with the ships boilers. Into these
pipes are fitted screw nozzles at in
tervalS of twelve feet. The object of
the steampipe is to suppress any dam
gerous outbreak among the inmates of
the cage. BY means of a snort hose,
specially made to resist the steam heat,
quickly attached to one of the steam
pipe nozzles, the turbulent convicts
are readily quoted or parboiled.
Strong water jets have been found
next to useless in allaying these occa-
sional tumults.
AIlcI lie sup mas pdsStu tlt tdudi,
but not before, patches of convicts are
in turn brought upon deck for a show
er bath and short exercise. A strong
ly constructed iron railing, eight feet
high, crosses the vessel amidships, in
order that the convict during his bath
and while unmanacled cannot by any
sudden rush eyade the guard and
reach the quarter deck. Some of the
more desperate cons:"ts, who stub
bornly resist all disciplinary control,
are confined to the cages during
the whole voyage. Both the upper
and lower tween decks are open and
airy, the system of ventilation being
excellent, and the cages themselves
are kept scrupulously clean. The
cages are repainted every voyage.
Each convict, in addition to having his
hair cropped short, has the left half of
the head from front to back closely
shaved. Sunshine.

The uncomfortable intelligence
comes from the South-from Geor
gia. 1t is contained in a para.
graph that is emphasized by being
printed as double loaded natter y
that is, with lines double the usual
space apart, the only article in the
paper enjoying that distinction.
The distressing condition is stated
as follows:
1T is too bad, but it is neverthe-
less true that the present state ad-
ministration in Wisconsin has got a
decidedly rocky road on which to
travel while counting the tickle god
dess of popularity for the next
twenty months. There are dissen-
sions, and grave ones, among the
heads of the different departments;
the legislature has aeces8jtated the
iegying Of a special tao, always an
unpopular proceeding, and there are
all the disappointed boomers to go
around and stir things generally.
The outlook is unpleasant, and the
realization will be worse"
All this is the outgrowth of de-
sire for a rival in state troubles and
political disturbances. Oh that
every state in the Union were as
smoothly and successfully admins

WASHING TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.


The President returned from the
great New York celebration greatly
fatigued but much pleased with
what he saw, as well as with the
cordial manner in which he was re-
ceived and treated during his entire
stay-three days. His return to
Washington was the signal for the
temperance of the army of place
seekers that somehow mysteriously
disappeared when the President
started for the Centennial. they
are back, as smiling and chippy as
ever, and seemingly far more numer
Gus. But as it is a good-natured,
well-fed crowd, with money in its
pockets, Washington is glad to see
them back again in the hotel Hobbies,
and wishes them well generally.
Mrs Harrison was so pleased with
the New York celebration that she
will remain there until next week.
She is the guest of Mrs. Morton.
The employees of the Railway
Mail service number about $500.
A bout one-third of this number are
Republicans appointed since the 4th
Of March, and a small number are
Republicans found in the service by
the Cleveland administration and
overlooked in the general slaughter
which followed Cleveland's inaugu-
ration, the rest are Democrats. On
May /, the entire service passed
under the control of the Civil Ser
vice Commission and in future when
vacancies occur they will be filled
from names certified by that body.
Civil Service Commissioner Lyman
says that the Commission has already
on file more than 1000 applicants
for examination, from parties desir-
Gus of receiving appointments in
the service and that he anticipates
no trouble whatever in filling any
requisition that Superintendent Bell,
of the Railway Mail Service may
make on him for clerks.
The indisposition of Secretary
Blaine which prevented his accom-
panylng the President to New York
has been the cause of some uneasi-
ness on the part of Mr.. Blaine's
friends and of a thousand and one
rumors making his condition much
worse than it is. am assured by
those closely associated with him
that the attack has only been an
one, of lumbago, and that
at no time has it been serious enough
to prevent the Secretary paying the
usual attention to his mail, both pri-
waite and official. The rumors (some
of them sent to out-of-town papers
were too absurd for any one to be-
ieve) gave the Secretary more worry
than his lumbago pains.

THE New York E'geniag Past
(Mugwump) openly declares that

sibIe for gross neglect Of duty" in
retaining in Office "disreputable
officials for a single day" And

removal Of just that class Of men,
of men notably incompetent, and
who were appointed to place simply
