We have always regarded the soli-
fairness of the dining of the prisoners
IN the State Prison at Thomaston as
relic of barbarism, when the chief
idea was punishment and only pun
ishment. What good would food do
man when he seized tin dipper of
coffee or tea, piece of bread and a
Junk Of meat, and marched off to his
cell to consume the same, solitary
and alone? But the voice of human
lty has at last been heard, and the
warden in our State Prison is about
10 naugurate a new system of feed
ing the prisoners, allowing them to
eat together in dining room, instead
Of each taking his food 20 his cell and
eating it there. This is in accord
with the most approved ideas of
prison management, and it is based
on hyglenic as well as humane rea-
sons.

known to the present generation, in
which he sued Henry Ward Beecher,
the famous preacher, for 500, 900, for
the alienation of his wife's affections.
The Jury failed TO agree; the people
generally sided with Beecher, and
although Tilton was a brilliant lee
turer and editor, he turned from his
friends and associates, left his coun-
try, and has been living in France on
a very slender income, sour and dis

Secretary Root, in an address, the
other day, said that the two great
dangers of the time were greedy
trusts and unreasonable labor organi-
cations. Both the trust and the
union, he thinks, can do good and
should fill field of usefulness to the
public, but the trust that uses its
great powers to exact undue profits
from the public and to wreck honest
competition, is danger to the whole
nation. And the union is equally
guilty that passes beyond its legiti-
mate field of operations.
