BBATTLEBOKO, fRIDAT, APR- " The Prison Heport. The report to the governor of the co itt.. which Iiiih rwently invest!- gnti-d Hint prison fomlitiiuif, Riven in iiimnmr.v elsewhere, will be n llisiip pnitltllieilt til th KI'lHTIll pllllliC. The test in y offered at the lienr- iuga (lining this invest itfiition whs pub lished in the state newspapers mid showed a eomlition of things which called for the .lining of responsibility in some niisweriiblw and punishable anurter. The committee, however, al though noting a great many deplorable conditions and things which "shouui not have been done," find the direc tors nnd simcriutendents efficient and faithful; nnd have almost unmixed commendation for everybody alaive Warden Hnrpin who, although unli lied us ellicicnt and a good disciplin arinn, is declared to have been guilty of personal conduct "of a character that cannot be too severely censured." This is the high tide of the commit tee's denunciation of tho doers nnd permitters of evil at tho state prison, whose record is already familiar to the public. They content themselves with throwing tho responsibility for im morality disclosed upon doors, locks, wash rooms and other innnimnte ob jects. With so many abuses and errors ad mitted. the public might reasonably ex pect that attentive directors nnd an efficient and conscientious snponmenu ent, together with a financial surplus of over $7,000, should have ensured irre proachable doors, locks, stairways and wash rooms and thus have prevented the deplorable conditions which the state now remembers with shame. Nevertheless, in spite of its failure to place blame outspokenly where it belongs, and considering its assurance that all offenders will be punished, the report of the committee, when care fully read and considered, is encourag ine for the future. Its various eonclu sions are not classified nnd will not be rcadilv grasped, as a policy, by tho average reader; but they are evidently based on the conviction that the pres ent state system of dealing with crimi nals is faulty and that the vital and urgent demand of the whole situation is to reform the system. They are looking forward to better facilities and methods and the question of past blame and its penalty is of secondary inter est to them and is readily resigned t the hands of the attorney-general. Catherine ur the scattered recom mendations which the committee have introduced at judicious intervals in the gentle course of their review- of past difficulties, we find them all excellent outlining a plan which the next leg islature Bhould take into earnest con sideration. They recommend better pay for the right kind of management and assist ance; a school, especially for young prisoners; a suitable hospital; more light and fresh air and proper sew cragc; arrangement of rooms for the separation of men and women in the prison life; a law to allow the employ ment of "trusty" prisoners outside the prison; more humane treatment of re fractory prisoners and corporal pun ishment only in extreme cases; a plain gray garb to replace the repulsive ulack and red now used; a common dining room and the privilege of conversation during meals; arrangements for private bathing and enlargement of quarters to relieve over-crowding.

The question of the relation of the franchise privilege to good citizenship was touched upon very dramatically during the recent celebration of Tuske gec 's silver jubilee. President . Cyrus Xorthrop of tho university of Minne sota, in speaking of education as the solution for the race problem, expressed the opinion that the enfranchisement of the mass of the negro race at the close of the civil war was a colossal blunder.

The only way to teach a young bird to fly is to turn him out of the nest and, at tho risk of falls and fail ures, make him try to use his wings. It appears that, in spito of numer ous gasolene fatalities and public and private explanation of them, tho gase ous oil is still used by people utterly ignorant of its real nature. A Bur lington woman was seriously burned Saturday whilo cleaning dress goods in a bowl of gasolene beside a gas stove over which the housemaid was preparing dinner.

But why has the Windsor prison lacked them in the past? Has there been no official power to fill these needs? Some of them would have required small outlay of money. The truth is that the suggestions of the committee overlook the one great requisite to prison reform which their observations failed to note as lacking in the past riglit supervision. No of ficial report, however smooth and tol erant its phrases, can disguise the fact that with the Tight kind of super vision no extreme conditions of un cleanness, immorality, or abuse can long exist; and that without it, the best system must fail. There is no scheme of prison man agement known that will work itself. There must be strong humanity, en ergy, executive ability and sterling character back of it, in the persons of superintendents and directors of the institution. "Graft in Offices." The Burlington Clipper is much con cerned over the number of federal and state oflSees held by Windham county men. The argument about the geo- cxtremely dangerous and evidence of gross ignorance. In the Burlington case the liquid in the bowl continued to throw off its vapor as it always does when exposed to tho air until the vapor spread far enough to touch the flame of the gas stove. Tho in stant this connection occurred the va por ignited and carried the flame to the gasolene in the bowl. The woman, surrounded by the vapor, was, within an instant, in a mass of flame. Yet people will go on fooling fatuously with this useful industrial agent, which is dangerous only under certain plain con ditions. A few simple but emphatic directions to go to purchasers of the stuff might possibly save a few lives. The opinion seems to be growing throughout the state that John II. Merrifield of Newfane is to be the next lieutenant-governor of Vermont. The Fair Haven Era says: '.'There is no question now about John II. Merri field," he himself having said last week that he is in the fight for the position; and the Bennington Banner adds: "Colonel Lcland and Colonel Prouty are both candidates, but that is about as far as either of them will get this year for, unless all signs fail, John Merrifield will be the next lieu- I ..i-Litr iif c 1111118 ililiUllSt ' zucla an appointment which ol. Jias kins was chiefly instrumental in secur ing for him. Mr. Plumley has had am bitions in this direction for a dozen voifis past, and support lias appeared in several conventions, not only in that six vears ago when Col Haskins wa against him and Judge . P. htafford, but in earlier tines, when successively the late Col. Hooker, Judge U M. Head ,T L. Martin or Gov. Dale were try ing to wrest the prize from (Jen. (.rout. This vcar thus far, however, Mr. Pbimlev'has preserved the sphinx at titude, 'and presumably aims to hold the balance of power between the two sides, so as to either dictate terms tor the future or combino with the one that proves weakest, though there are some indications that he designs an aggres sive fight for Plumley and Plumley this year. The general idea about the district has hitherto been that he only sought heirship to Haskins. Just how far Bell's strength with the fanners will prove available in a congressional fight is an interesting subject of specu lation. It was sufficient for him to carry off the governorship easily, with the 'machine apparently, and at first certainly, against him, and he has made a pretty good governor in a little more than ii routine." way, but without any very decided impress on affairs, which, indeed, under the Vermont system, is impossible except from the very strong est personality in the gubernatorial chair. But no one will claim that his equipment for congress, either of na tive intellect, experience or acquaint ance with public men or affairs, is any where near that of Haskins. Mr. Bell 's strong point is the impression he makes in private intercourse as a "nice man" and "trusty," but he is constantly making speeches before grange gather ings, and on his feet he always shows his weakest. So it may be doubtful if his grange strength will prove any thing like what is reckoned. as rank ..nil tile, cadis as commanders, hrench i . , Making and Spanish instructors, and a Swis. insper- A Premium on Good Sugar MaKlng. tor-general.
