Brutal Barbarity.

The New York World recently
sent II .correspon dent to Georgia to
investigate the workings OF the:cun-
Wet lease system Of that state.
Some of the horrors he has unesrth-
cd are simply appalling, and are
calculated to throw forever q foul
blot on the guod naUe Of Georgis.
Instances were cited where prisoners
were numerically beaten because
they were too sick to perform certain
tasks allotted them. The tiogging
is done by brute in human form
who is appointed by tho state for
that purpose, and who is known by
the high sounding title of 'whipping
boss" The female convictsare often
made the subjects of the lust of
lecherous guards, and the whole
damnable system is reeking with
fifth and sordid corruption from top
bottom. Such state of affairs is a
disgrace to civilization, and should
not be tolerated by decent people.
In this connection it is well to state
that the ssme system prevails in
Texas, although we have never heard
of such outrageous treatment OF
prisoners in this state rs in Georgia.
But, be that as it may, the policy of
hiring couvicts out to private corpor
ations has not one redeeming feature,
1t is true that people should be
punished for crime, but the unfor-
tunate who is caught in the mesbes
of ali avenging law should at least
be treated like human being, and
not like beast. The corporations
that hire convict labor have no in
terest in the poor devils save to get
all the work out of them possible,
and thus 1t can be readily seen that
such d system ia bound to give rise
to great abuses. Instead of spend
ing its time in cursing railroads and
advocating ox-carts, the next Texas
bad better investigate and
devise some remedy for this crying
evil.-Luling Signal.

DR.. TalmaSe's Tests Of Christian Char.
acter.

The growing liberality of Rev.
DR.. Talmage ia sign OF advance in
some things on the part of his own
and other orthodox sects. Not long
ago he said:
DO not hinder people by the idea
that they may not have been elected.
DO not tag on to the one essential Of
faith in Christ, any Of the innumer-
able on-essentials. A man who
heartily accepts Christ, is Christian,
and the man who does not accept
him, is not o Christian, and that is
all there is of it. He need not be-
lieye in election or reprobntion. He
neen not believe in the eternal gen
Grafton of the Son. He need not
believe in everlasting punishment.
He need not believe in plenary in
spiration. Faith in Christ is the
criterion, is the test, is the pivot, Is
the Indispensable. But there are
those who would add unto the tests
rather than subtract from them.

The argument in favor of prohi-
bltion is not that ''prohibition pro-
hibits" with certain efficacy. We can
not expect to uproot any long estab
lished evil by prohibitory law all at
once. Neither the friends nor the
foes Of prohibition should assume
this. They should expect that the
thousands of old topers driven by
Unsuitable passion will continue to
struggle to crafty their appetites.
1t is not with the expectation of stop
ping them from drinking entirely
that prohibition is attempted. 1t is
to save those who have not yet form
ed the nabit that prohibition aims at.
1t aims to surround the vice with
such difficulties and odium that there
will be fewer recruits made for the
army of drunkards. By arraying the
law against the traffic in liquors the
conditions on which the saloons rely
to make drunkards will be largely
destroyed Methodist Recorder.

Mr., Depew's View Of the Southern
Situation.

Washington, April AIR. Chaun
cy NJ. Depew arrived here this even
ing in excellent health. In an inter
view with a Post reporter lie express
ed himself as Delighted with the
hospitality Of the Southern people
"Did you soc much OF the new
South the reporter asked.
Some Of the new South and a
great deal Of the old South. 1t Is
there still. The old stock look on
the colored man as q sort OF animal
destitute of moral senses and respon'
sibiiity, who like FranSentlne, be-
comes, for that reason, dangerous in
proportion to his liberty and oppor-
tuni,ies, They seem to think that
their property will be wiped out OF
contiscated, their homes broken and
socially destroyed il the colored
mans votes are counted, and they
look upon Northern republicans as n
species OF anarchists who will cheer
fully cooperate in their destruction
Nine-tenths Of democrats in the South
seem to be imbued with such ideas.
The new South has different spirit.
II believes in mines and mills and
corner lots. 1t believes in attracting
enterprise and capital. But the old
South is long way down the mill
eniuln of political regeneration. The
is not plain, but it certainly
does not lie in Federal legislation"

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. G. APRIL 7, 1890
Mr.. Blaine's pet scheme of trade
reciprocity with the South and Cen.
trail American States has been pre-
maturely made public in order to
silence opposition to the new tariff
bill. New England Congressman are
promised reciprocity with the Argen-
tine Republic which would mean
free wool as an offset to the objec-
tionable features of the tariff bill, and
in that way some Of the opposition,
though by no means oil of it, has
been quieted. Republicans in the
House say that they will offer
amendments to the bill putting hides,
sugar and tin plates on the free list.
The bill is now before the full Ways
and Means committee and will not
probably be reported TO the House
before next week.

BOOMING TESaS.

Dallas, Texas, April 1l.-Jay
Gould, after spending nearly month
travelling over Ills railroad properties
in Texas, visiting cities and making
stay ola week in Mexico. arrived
in Dallas, and was interviewed at
considerable length by the Dallas
News regarding the outlook for bis
properties in this section and the
condition OF the country generally.
Mr.. Gould estimates that lie has
travelled over ore-third of the railway
mileage in Texas, this including his
own property, aud expresses himself
as perfectly satisfied with the out
look affecting his interests. and, to
use his own words, 'inds there are
substantial improvements being made
in all sections of the State, particu-
larly in the cities and towns through
which he passed." and which he was
enabled to see by reason of the fact
that he travelled by daylight. Mr..
Gould noted n steady and rapid fill
ing up Of Texas by people from the
Northwest, moved to make change,

winters, and for the additonalreason
that the double crop in Texas of
wheat IN the spring that and cotton
