groan or protest. or partial account of
some outbreak, finds its way through
and in many cases the gist OF the story
is to the effect that the food is bad or
scanty Other things the men behind
the bars suffer stoically. or not so store
ally: but lack Of food arouses them to
despsir and frenzy. We have lately
heard reports from Sing Sing illustrative
OF this condition there; and many an

the unfortnuates in that gloomy hell
chamber.
Conyicts know that they arc 10 be

thcy do not believe that the govern.

lion in which food often comes TO the
c-pvicts table is practically poisonons).
They know that no such punisbment is
included. therefore, that il is an arbl-
trary ard illegal piece Of cruelty or
neglect on the part of the warden or
commissary officer. They are prone to
think that these persons profit finan-

and that they are careful to conceal the
fact in tho. reports TO the department,
or to disguise it as mcritorious econ

scious that there is no regular channel
through which they can make their in

nothing is more readily denied, or more
easily concealed from inspectors, than
is this verv abuse.
But the suffering which IL occasions
Is constant and cumulative. They are
still required TO perform labor, as Il

their vitality ebbing, they find them
selves ever less able to resist the in

doctors are often met with sneers and
even animosity; and what marvel is it
that stoicism and patience at last give
way, and thev break out in some wild
