JUSTICE GONE TO SLEEP.

How the Law Regarding Newspapers IL
Administered in Germany
The case of the editor of the Rheln-
ische Zeitung, the organ Of the social
democratic party at Cologne, has al
ready been alluded to in the Mail ana
Express cable dispatches. This Ger
man editor made grave charges Oh cru
city and brutality against the governor
of the provincial house of CORRECTION
and on legal investigation the charges
we're, in fact, sustained. 1t was proved
that in this reformatory barbarities and
tortures worthy of the middle ages were
practiced daily. Nevertheless the right
eous and intelligent judge condemned
the editor to three months imprison-
ment on the ground that the publica-
ton was not made in defense Of public
interests. Speaking of the condition
of this reformatory, the Berlin Neueste
Nachrichten says: That people should
be subjected to medieval tortures like
the gag, with accomplishments of afro
,cious cruelty; that they should be put
into straight waistcoats, mercilessly
beaten until they stream with blood and
then left to their fate till death releases
them from their misery; that they
should be confined for weeks together
in black hole on meager rations OF
dry bread and condemned to wear night
and day the same garment, which fet-
tiers their every movement; that scourg-
ing with an Indian rubber whip or with
the tow end of rope dipped in water
should admittedly be common prac-
tice, may well explain the fact that
according to medical testimony, large
number of deaths should have been due
to tuberculosis, though consumptivt
persons are on principle not admitted
But how can such a system conduce tt

ings for whom the state maintains thi
sort of establishments"
