looks upon Mr. Shepard as the ChrysoStom Of

Bryan as the inspired trumpet Of silver. Ac-
cordingly he has invited Mr.. Bryan to come
here and have a debate with Mr. Shepard TO
settle Democratic principles He has not yet
asked Mr.. Shepard, whether because he thinks
he can get Mr.. Shepard to talk at any old time
or because he feels sure the debate will never
come OF and the mere name of having proposed

>coysUMpTIvEs, FREE AND CONVICT


Reports from Clinton Prison show that nearly
25 per cent of the convicts confined III that in
stitution are consumptives; that although one
entire tier has been set aside for these doubly
unfortunate creatures about one hundred must
be housed with men who are not afflicted with
pulmonary disease. The hospital accommoda-
tions are inadequate, and proper isolation OF
tubercular patients is impossible
These conditions have been brought to the
attention of the State authorities with view
to securing additional hospital room for the
consumpttve convicts, not only for their own
good. but for the protection OF those who are
confined with them and for the people with
whom they will come in contact when their
prison time has expired. The convict, deprived
of healthfuI exercise, confined for half the time
in close quarters and surrounded by depressing
and enervating conditions, is much more sus-
ceptibIe to the disease than the free man; and
since the punishment imposed on him does not
include continuous battle with contag1on, the
warning sent by the prison authorities should
be needed.
simultaneously with the request for more
room for consumptive convicts comes plea to
the public for fluids with which a home for
consumptives may he erected near New-York.
The Order of Brothers of Nazareth want to
add the home to the other charitable institCr
tons which they conduct at Priory Farm. This
farm is in Dutchess County. about one thou
sand feet above the level of the sea, "a place"
says the Superior of the brotherhood, where
''the life of consumptive can be prolonged
"and where the progress Of the disease may
''be checked"
The State and the individual can aid good
cause by needing the pleas from Clinton and
from Priory Farm.
