in some way unexplained during this time
of putting Anderson in the solitary.
And then this committee from the
legislature adds:
The discipline at Saltwater and the
direct care and supervision Of convicts
and guards is under the deputy war
den and his assistant.
The deputy warden is Z. H. Lemon,
a son-in-law of George NJ. Seymour.
This man is wholly unfit for the
place. He Furnishes for trivial Of
lenses in the hardest manner. He
is cruel, brutal and inhuman in his
methods and manners, and should
have no control over cOnvicts, or
any men, who are helpless, and in
his power. In the interests of hu-
mainly the board of managers
should discharge him at once, and
should insist on Warden WOIfer in
Producing more humane methods OF
furnishing cOnVicts, and in case he
does not do so at once, get a war
den who Will.
This new evidence only confirms and
strengthens our previous report, and
we again wish to call your attention to
that report and reiterate the recon-
mendations therein made.
We therefore recommend that
the legislature pass a resolution re-
questing the board of managers to
at once discharge f. III. Lemon, dep
uty warden, and to make a thor
Ough investigation of the best mod
ern prison methods, with a view of
supDIanting the present way of
Furnishing convfcts.

1t was Gov. Clough who spoke, and
he referred to the investigation of the
charges made against officials of the
state penitentiary. The st. Paul paper
which first gave publicity to the
charges yesterday stated that several
of the witnesses it had secured had
announced their intention of refusing
to go to Saltwater to appear before the
investigating committee. 1t was also
suggested that witnesses should be al
lowed their expenses.
''You can say" added Gov ClOugh,
that the governor has no fund from
which he can draw to pay witnesses
for appearing before the board. II
some of these fellows are looking for
a winters job they will be dis2ppoint-
ed 1t is in the interests of the citizens
of the state that this investigation
should be held, ard all those in pos
session of information, which may
have any bearing on the matter, should
be public spirited enough to give it.
These charges have been made by sew
eral people now residing in the state,
and it devolves upon them to prove
what they say.

Attorney PuTsues His EX-
pressed Aim.

Public Examiner Kenyon has re-
ceived a report from his deputy, j. p.
West, as to the condition of affairs
in Wilkin county Mr.. West says:
l examined this county in November 1885,
The auditor and treasurer were absent, ii be-
ing just before election. so | concluded to
examine it again as soon as | could, on ac-
account Of the action of the county board in
taking excessive fees. While we have very
few counties where commissioners ignore the
law, the majority and a large majority are
anxious to live up to the law but this
county is an exception. The county in its
management cannot be duplicated in the
state. | inclose statement OF items as taken
from the bills OF the three commissioners
who hold over from 1895 and 1896, for the
year 1896, in order that one may understand
how it is possible to get in so many more
days than any other county in the state.
1t will be noticed that there are many days
charged for, but the date of the month is
not given, but it is fact that the commits
sOners of this county are able to charge and
receive pay for two and three days when
they only work one. These items show that
Mr.. Strachan received pay for services for
the year 1896 as follows:
Board OF audit, thrty-fve days; road and
bridge committee, thirty-two days and $67.40
for mileage; eight days signig county orders
and mileage sl2.6O; nine days on board of
equalization, and $3.50 mileage; eight days
on canvassing board and mileage $780, and
122 miles for getting the returns corrected,
making 1920 more mileage. Where he tray-
eled to there is nothing TO show. This makes
lis days and 1923 for mileage, which makes
ut the least calculation sixty seven more days
than he was entitled to. The laws of the
state give him twenty-five days but give
him the first thirty days, his nine days on
the board Of equalization and mileage, his
eight days on the canvassing board and mile
age and he would owe the county over $500.
His own report for 1895 shows that he re-

Der at them simply means a look at

The report from Saltwater does not
say whether White and Quinn were
taken to the solitary and chained up
there, after being dubbed, or not, or
dubbed at all. 1t was in one of these
attempted getaways that Lemon made
such tremendous hit, in his own way,
once before. The three men who tried
TO escape that time, reference to which
has already been made since the
Globe began to publish statements
about the alleged cruelties at the pris
on, were Douglass, Anderson and Davis.
The committee of the legislature in
yestigated that case of clubbing, and
in their report, which is a part of the
records of the legislature, appears the
following:
After the men left the building they ran
through the yard and to the gate where Doug
lass and Davis passed through behind the
shavings cart. Anderson turned back and was
stopped in the wagon shop. Davis was
stoned when a few feet outside the gate,
and Douglass ran toward the river and hid
in a building, where he was discovered few
minutes afterward. There is no claim that
Davis was assaulted by any one. Douglass
was ordered to come out from under the
building, and on refusing to do so F. H.
Lemon, the deputy warden, fired a shot TO
intimdate him. Lemon claims he fired into
the ground and by other witnesses that 1t
was fired at Douglass; anyway, no one was
hit. 1t was admitted by Lemon that he struck
Douglass a severe blow over the head with
the butt of his revolver, as he claims, In self
defense; but other witnesses claim that il
was done after they had started for the prison
and when he was held by one of the guards.
The blow was a severe one and the woSnd
had never been dressed when your committee
saw him. There is no evidence to support
any other assaults or blows though others
claim he was struck again by Lemon with a
cane.
In the case CT Anderson, it is clearly estab-
lished that Lemon struck him with heavy
cane good many blows, and when Anderson
tried to escape from these blows and ran
Lemon followed him up striking him again
and again Lemons heavy cane was broken

GENERAL ITEMS.
Words Fifty Spoken.

A newspaper without enemies is
scarcely deserving of friends. The
vicious and lawless never like a bold.
fearless newspaper, and every self-1e-
speeding publisher should be proud of
their enmity. There are other news
paper foes, however, who are far more
troublesome and, consequently, more to
be feared. First and foremost is the
man who owes newspaper an honest
debt and will not pay it. Then there
is the ambitious mortal who wants an
office and complains because the news.
paper cannot consistently champion
his cause he is pretty likely to become
an enemy. The man who wants to
shape the policy of paper and is not
allowed to do so, is a sure enemy.
But the meanest enemy of all is the
man who newspaper has befriended,
and who deliberately condemns the
sheet after securing from it ali the as
sistance he possibly can. The news
paper can to some extent respect an
open and avowed enemy, but an in
CRATE, under any circumstances, is
beneath comtempt.-Cumberland Ne,cs.

More Land and WatcrScapc,

a moon-struck individual is now
enamored of Cumberland. He con-
cludes an apostrophe to that town
with this paragraph in the Ne,cx:
Cumberland is already to the front-sml-
ing, graceful, ambitious, ready for the crown.
There are many gems in Western Maryland.
Picturesque beauty fingers all along her
mountain views and Waterways, but for a
supreme, ideal view of natures grandeur,
give me Queen Cumberland by moonlight.
Is not the idea of readiness for an
unexplained and apparently unpro-
voked occasion for coronation con-
slderably remote from the notion that
Cumberland is gem ?
The JOURNAL will not stop to ask
one or two more questions that occur,
but rush to a conclusion by express
ing the sincere hope that nobody in
Frostburg wrote the moonlit picture
of Cumberland.
