satisfaction throughout the state. n re

and a disgrace 20 the state. The condi-
ton Of affairs that was disclosed in the
Porter Stocks suicide case called the at
tention OF the governor sharply TO what
was going on in the camps. and It Is 20
his credit that he acted with vigor and
promptness in inaugurating a reform.
It has long been the impression that con-
victs having influential friends or money
are dealt with so leniently in the camps
that their imprisonment is more Of a
fralic than punishment. This man Porter
Stocks. who. according to the result CT
the inquest, took his own life. did pretty
much as he pleased leaving the camp at
his pleasure. going fishing when he took
notion to do so and generally conduct
ing himself as a man Of leisure. The In
ference Is that the governor discovered
that there are other convicts who en-
toyed about the same privileges, hence his
new order heavily fning any lessee who
winks at violations OF the regulations.

The governor will lose nothing in the
Of the people by his effort to
reform the abuses in the convict camps
Neither brutality nor injustice should De
tolerated in the camps. Nor should one
convict be treated as If he were guest
anu another be burdened with tasks to
the extent Of his strength. Even-handed
justice should be melted out to all.
1t should be the purpose of the gov
ernor TO keep careful watch on the con-
Wet camps with the view of making the
reform he has inaugurated permanent
Unless hes does that the camps will soon
be run again in the same old ruts. #
the lessees are not made to understand
that the governor Is very much in earnest
they will not pay much attention to his
new order They will do as they please
as soon as they think it safe to do so.

you make a mistake about Donald
Cameron not being an able man. l pre-
sumo you do not know him. He is in CON
Yersation much more incisive and, full than
his colleague. While he cannot speak at all
he can talk admirably. And Cameron Is a
bold man. He follows his own views in or
out of the party camp. The southern ora
tors all appreciate him. l can give you a
scene which ought to be kent under
screen. but secrecy can be barred by the
statute of limitation. 1t was in executive
session. Senator Mitchell OF Pennsylvania
was always opposing Cameron's ap-
pontments on this particular occasion
Mitchell made a speech an hour long, able
and fluent. Cameron arose to reply. The
act of standing on his feet seemed to
palsy his tongue. He uttered two sentences
perhaps. then turned upon Mitchell with
clenched hands and said: "G-d-d--n YOU!
If l could speak as well as you can / could
prove that you hed!' 1t is needless to say
that Cameron received all our votes, and
his man was confirmed"
