THE REPUBLICAN BOLT.

The boiling Republicans met at Cooper
Institute last night and completed their
revolt against the regular organization.
The attendance was fair numbers. but
marked by the absence OF Republicans
Of character and influence. Indeed. It
was difficult to say to what party the
meeting belonged. There seemed to be
a very good representation OF local Tam
many politicians In the hail.
Milholland was In his glory. He was
elected permanent chairman OF the bolt
Ing organization, and was thus crowned
with some OF the honors of bossism. In
his speech he was severe on the leaders
of the party. n designated Cornelius
\. Bliss II his associates as the Thirty
undertakers Rather an ominous title,
as II was taken to mean that they might
bury the holting organization
Mr.. Platt's name was loudly cheered,
giving evidence that he will continue 10
be the boss In the boiling movement, and
that Milholland will have to be con,
tented with second honors. 1t IL evident
that the breach In the Republican party
of New York Is complete. and that tn,
fight OF the Reidites against the Regu
lars Is to be fought out to the death.

ONE MORE.

III n fears were entertained that the
election fraud cases would not be fairly
and vigorously prosecuted by District
Attorney Fellows they are happily dis
sipated. The second Indicted Inspector
was yesterday convicted after less than
a quarter OF an hours elaboration by
the jury, and this time the verdict was
not accompanied by n recommendation
to mercy.
Both the convicted men belong to
Tammany Hall.
The foreman OF the jury in this second
case was a colored man.
Both these facts are worth noting.
The colored foreman made an excep-
tionally intelligent juryman. The con
viction OF two Tammany inspectors
brought about by IA Tammany prosecut.
Ing officer refutes the assertion that nc
Tammany follower can be brought tc
justice.
That Is right. Weed out every ballot,
box corruptionist, Democrat or Re
publican, II guard sacredly the purit,
Of elections. Therein lies the safety o.
free government.

THE NEW BRIDGE ELL.

The reconstructed New York and New
Jersey Bridge bill. shorn OF the features
to which President Cleveland found OBJ
jections. Is before the House Committee
on Commerce, n its consideration has
been postponed until Wednesday next
at the request OF It's opponents. II is
said that 1t Will be reported on that day.
The Secretary OF Wal has been asked
to attend the next meeting to give his
views on the engineering features OF the
new bill. This seems an entirely I'M
necessary proceeding, inasmuch as the
bill provides for "A board OF engineers
selected by the Secretary to approve
the plans for the bridge and to pass
upon the length OF span practicable.
There ought to be as little delay az
possible In passing the new bill through
both Houses. All the objections that can
be raked NJ against the bridge have
been exhausted. The projectors have
yielded every point to which reasonable
opposition has been made. The bill Ia
securely guarded against abuse. The i'm
proverient Is one of the greatest impor-
lance to New York and to the trade and
OF the whole country. The
Committee should take care that no
fractional delay OF the measure is per
mitted. and that II is put on It's passage

AN UNDESIRABLE BILL.

One OF the most Objectionable bills now

bill 10 extend the operation OF the law
authorizing the Acknowledgement to con-
duct criminal prosecutions in place OF
District Attorneys in all counties OF the
state. and TO call special terms of courts
to try such cases.
At present the law Is confined to coun-
ties having a certain population, and
proper safeguards are provided to pre-
vent the abuse OF these extraordinary
proceedings. They are resorted to only
in special cases. II they should be
authorized promiscuously and made gen
eral throughout the State they would
in fact destroy the efficiency of District
Attorneys n render their election al
most useless.
1t is not desirable that the ordinary
course of justice SHOULD be disturbed OF
departed from unless for good reason
1t implies a wan Of faith In the locaI

these were expressly condemned by the Fifth Coun.

For Cosy Corners,

many seems an impossible term, and
they are piled temptinGly everywhere
about. The newest show deep frills,
quite ten inches wide, and are covered
with the softest silk. If, as some critics
complain, the luxury Of the cosy corner
Is a temptation to withdraw into ones
self and a distinct detriment to family
life. these pillows are responsible for
much harm. 1t would require a stole
and a stole of the severest sort-to with
stand the silent invitation they offer.

To the Editor:
I differ with Ida Silverman in regard to the
clerks mistake In marking the piece OF furniture.
The problem as given, says the clerk marked 1t
5000, and gave the customer or buyer 20 per
cent. on. Now. 20 per cent. from 5000 leaves
$3.50, which the purchaser paid for It. The mer-
chant tells the clerk he has made a mistake. and
has caused him a loss OF 20 per cent. on the sale,
Therefore he must have made 6 per cent. and he
originally intended to make rs per cent. There
fore $3.50 stands for the cost and a gain OF 3 per
cent. which Is los per cent, and $50 diyidei by
iO5 per cent gives the cost. which is ti52.8. Now
add the 25 per cent, which the merchant wished
to make. and we get $3.50, ~, which is the cost

CONVICT ISLAND HORRORS.
Russian Prisoners at Onor Sub
iected to Terrible Treatment.
INITIATED, Murdered and Starved by
Brutal Officers.
OBy Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. l0.-A despatch to the
Standard from st. Petersburg, says that
the Government Commission appointed
to investigate the alleged scandals In the
convict prison nt Onor. on the Island OF
y aghalien, has issued a report which I'M
folds Il terrible tale of suffering and
crime. 1t shows that In this prison there
nave been instances without number OF
merc!less cases OF beatings. looping OF
OF fingers and arms by sabre strokes.
while cannibalism. under stress OF fam
inc, has been of common occurrence.
Murder, followed by cannihalism, has
been frequent. with the so.e object OF
ending a miserable existence. 1t is re-
lated that there even have been cases
where several convlcts have disputed to
be convicted OF murder. when, in fact.
they were not guilty Of any such crime.
During the whole year OF 1892 there was
an almost continuous string OF conveys
carrying the corpses Of convicts from
Onor to Rykovskaya. the residence of the
authorities.
In nearly every case the bodies were
so mutilated that they presented Il pitt
full spectacle, and moved the persons
who looked upon them to tears ana
words of Indignation. The bodies were
Inferred without the slightest inquiry
on the part OF the authorities as to how
the Wounds were inflicted. The neglect
OF the prisoners at Onor IL said to have
been most shameful and criminal.
No doctor ever visited the institution,
and convicts who failed to perform their
work on account OF physical incapacity
were placed on half diet in the place
chilled a hospital and when 1t became
apparent that they would be unable to
perform further duty they were Killed
like animals with "A revolver by the In
spector and were registered on the
prison books as having dice from n
disease.
The principal author of the atrocities,
IL Is asserted, IL a former convict of the
name OF Shakon. who was II favorite
OF the District Commandant and was
promoted to be Inspector-General.
