There is just as much likelihood

is denounced by these very men as a

There is increasing evidence that
Senator Allison is allowing his name

BRUTAL TREATMENT OF NEGRO
WOMEN IN PENAL INSTITU-
TIoNs OF TEXAS.

Austin. Tex, April l0.-The commit
tee of the legislature appointed to in
vestigate the condition of penitentiary
convicts today made a report, in
which they severely criticise the pre-
sent method of handling the women
convicts, particularly the Negro wo-
men. The report says.
We visited the farm and camp
where the female convicts OF the state
are detained and worked, and regret
to report that the conditions and man
agement of this institution are to our
minds wholly unsatisfactory. There
are about 100 female conyicts confined
and worked upon this farm, a large
majority of whom are persons who
are froced to perform all manner of
heavy work, which, in our opinion, is
out Of all proportion to their strength
and health. When not engaged at
their labor these Negro women are
crowded into an ordinary board build.

from the cold in winter or the heat

when not engaged at their work; 1t is
insufficient from a sanitary point of
view; their sleeping apartments, mis-.
cradle makeshifts as a whole, fall far
short Of what should be required for
the health and comfort Of the female
convicts.
I'VE enter our protest against the
manner OF treatment Of this class Of
convicts and, while We do not con-
tend that others could be better under
Ike circumstances, yet the whole plan
Is wrong and should not be longer toll

What does this modern Moses %
really mean by his latest revelation,

Is there too much light reflected by
the Colored Papers? Is it because
they have opened the eyes Of his for

them to sour on him? Does he ex-

are they always to be bartered by a
self-constituted leadership? Is it be-
cause he has failed to subsidize all
the Colored Papers? For surely
some of them say just what they are
told to say on all points right or
