Springfield Republican: Later revela- tions connected with the recent escape of murderers from Sing Sing prison make it appear that we have not begun to do jus tice to the perfect illustration of the work ing of the spoils system in it's full ripe- ness and perfection, which the manage ment of that prison affords. Watchman Hulse, who let Murderer Rohle escape, is physically feeble, and totally unfit for the position of guard over desperate crimi- nals; but strong, intelligent, faithful and experienced keeper was dismissed to make place for him. Warden Brown was formerly the local democratic boss of Newburg, and Hulse was one of his aids. When Brown was made warden he recognized Hulse's claims for office, turn ed out the other man and put him in, with promptness that would delight the heart of ''practicar' politician.

ious attention OF our people to case
in the police court reported in todays
issure of the DAI4Y CAPITAL. The
arrest Of Minnie Brantley for street
walking is one Of the saddest Of late

predictions Of several days ago. Min
ME Brantley is one Of our young
misaes hardly in her teens. Every DO
dy knows her. She comes Of q good
family and We should aesret the af
fair. But the lesson should not only
teach Minnie, but should be lesson
to many Of our young girls, whose
footsteps seem drifting into question
able paths. There is IN indifference on
the part Of many Of the parents of our
children which allows irregular habits
to be formed through association with
men and women Of questionable char
acters. The good influences Of the
church and sabbath schools is lost
and nullifea BY evil association.
