RECENTLY we had short converse

County ydHs.


had just arrived here, and who
had been confined for several months in one of those
much Wanted model county jails where the sep
arate confinement of prisoners is religiousy enforced
From his actions and conversation it plainly to
be seen that another month of such barbaric treat
ment would have dethroned his reason. His pale
countenance shifting eyes, wrinkled brow and rest
lessness of limbs were undsputable evidence that
melancholy, worry enforced idleness and foul at

Sherifs who have inaugurated this system upon
those under their charge, perhaps not aware of
the effects such punishment has upon human
being: neither can they understand the philosophy
that non communication will decrease crime. If

aud feather them. They would not think of
keeping their horse continually locked up for
fear of being prosecuted for cruelty to animals
Still they obey this sophisticated and hater
themselves that they of exclusive few who
will eventually receive laurel wreath as their

There has never been greater humbug per-
petrated upon the unthinking than this sup
posedly panacea for checking crime. Non communi-
cation among prisoners awaiting trial. in junction
with solitary confinement and without books papers,
or the harmless amusement of telling stories and
playing cards. will soon weaken the mental faculties
Of even those endowed with exceptional healthy
constitutions.
Still these brazenly fool reformers have the

They know that the prisoner is still innocent until

force upon them the rigors Of solitary confinement?
Would it not be preferable to allow them to con-
gregae in the corridors during the day time and

charge, of investigating "any condi.
tion prevailing or alleged to prevail

have individual knowledge or which
may be brought to it's attention2"
