A Card

To the people of the State Of Ne
vad,:
Is 1t Buckleyism, or what i. it!
About ten d VS. ago, Warden Nc
Cuilough, of the tate Prison, told
me that one Of his prisoners had re-
ce1vsd an injury to enc of his EYES.
and the Governor had suggested b. :
| calling me to see it. | visited the
Prison and found that the accident
was a dlsIocated lens, and explained
10 Warden and Governor the nature
Of 1t, which is as follows: The lens
being completely detached from the
susrensory lgiment, operates as .
foreign body, and viii, IN all probs
olhty, unless removed, not only de
stroy the sight III the injured eve.
but che other also. Tho longer the
operation is deferred, the greater the
hazard.
have written to DR.. P2rEal.. Of
ban francisco, a. able Al oeu.St a.
there Is on the Coast, III regard to
this cas., ,Gd have received al
answer IN which he fully concurs
with my views
| otfsi ell to operate on the Gaze for
SIZo, or do 1t sratuitously if | could
have the Prison practice for three
months. / expressed \ preference for
tile latter terms, for the reason that |
there are several other. prisoners
there who very much need surgical |
ASSISTANCE.
Th= fact became known to me last !
Summer by my being called in the /
absence of the Prison doctor, who !
was away looking after his interest. |
in California.
Three OF the prisoners are suffer |
ing from troubles perfectly amenable
TO surgery, ami they informed me
that the Prison physician had told
hem that he could do nothing for
hem
1t IS not because the Prison physic-
an has received In the la.t nine
Years, nearly So, 900 from the State
md county, while more competent
physicians, during all of this time.
AVE been dsbarred frsm competing
or the business, that | am complain
n@; neither Is 1t because the money
o obtained has been invested in
california, while other physicians.
. well as myself, have been obliged
o pay more taxes than he to support !
lone government.
1t other people see fit to send to |
yallfornia to purchase goods, with
ne hope that they can purchase more
or the money, there is a hue and 1
~ because the money has been sent
ut OF the State, instead of support
az home industries. All other tax
ayers are permitted to compete for
ne prison trade. Bids are advertis-
d tor ana competition has a chance.
say 1t Is not IL consequence of the
oove mentioned unfair treatment to
he other physicians that / am
rompted to write this matter up: IT
4 QUESTION OF HUMANITY
Shall this man be forced to 90
ons blind because the boss will |
Ut consent to take lay off for
onths III nine years, after acklowI-
lying to both the Warden and Gov
nor, that he knows nothing of the
SCI
The law contemplates that when a
nllct has served his time, he has
I'd for his crime. In this case il
ems that he must nos only serve
time but also go blind, even
ough assistance can be had without
dltlonal expense to the State. I
The query arises: If the Com
and Warden will allow -
e prisoner to 90 blind by obeying -
behests of the boss, how many
re would they permit to suffer
fate. before the promptings of
manlty would reclaim them from
,lr subseryiency. j. GUINAN.
