THE warden of the penitentiary has
submitted a report to the legislature
which bristles with recommendations
that involve the expenditure of large
sums of money. He says that thereof
roof leaks , that the buildings need
replaslering , that the water supply Is
nsufficient , that the drainage la
wretched , that the locks of the cages
are old-fashioned and cumbersome ,
; hat the prison buildings are liable to
burn down at any time , that the
ibrary is short of books , that the
guards are without uniforms , that hos-
pltal accommodations are badly need
ed , and in short that the whole Insll-
.utisn needs reconstruction from the
bottom up. Tire or throe years ago
we were told that this was a model
prison , that the buildings were as
the eternal recks , and
the roof and every part of the
slructcre was In excellent preservation -
tion , We w ere told that the prisoners
were In better condition thau the
average mechanics in the factories ,
and , in fact , the descriptions were so
glowing that many poor devils were
tempted- go thcro to better their
condition. In 1875 when the legisla
ture wai Investigating alleged cruelties
in the penitentiary and found the
charges substantially true , the prison
phjstcian hadn't a word to say about
the maltreatment of diseased pris
oners. Now the tender heart of that
same physician is'moved to pity be
cause the hospital facilities are not
as" extensive as he would like
tV * have ! them. If all the
recommendations ot the warden were
curiedint we might as well condemn
tbo prison and build a new peniten
tiary elsewhere , where the location is
*
not so unhealthy , and where a whole
some supply of water cn be procured
without building an artesian welL
The warden wants the gas pipes laid
fromX'.ncoln to the penitentiary , and
an expanse incurred for lighting the
prison with gas. If the prison au
thorities will Invest In three dozen
p&tentnonexplesive brass lamps
they will secure all the light
that will possibly bo needed ,
without - ny danger whatever ,

at an onllay coJnBiderably below § 100 ,
whereas the gas would cost aovera'
thousand. . , It strikes . us . that-many
f „ < - * - j
of the proposed improvements in the
penitentiary ought to be done by the
lessee. The state pays him fifty-five
cents a day per prisoner , besides
their * labor'and shelter for a largo
.number of Imported prisoners. At an
average of two hundred prisoners the
state pays $110 a day or $40,150 ayear
for maintaining the prisoners exclusive
of the salaries paid to the wardens auc
'other. " > "subordinates. In the
states of vlowa , nUnola , Michigan
and-other states the penltentaries are
aelf-sustalnlng , while in Nebraska
where i labor' ' IB most valuable and
taxation most burdensome , the prison
tax is fifty thousand a year. It would
now'pay the state to buy Mr. Stout
off and put the prisoners in boarding
schools in some other state.
WE are informed that the .railroad
committees of the two houses have
invited the rallrcad managers and at *
torneys , and repreaentitivea of the
Farmers' Alliance and grangers , to a
joint debate before the committees on
the railroad question. "We appre
bend the Farmers' Alliance and
granges will pay no attention to this
kind invitation. But the railroad
managers will be there In full force.
The farmers of Nebraska are not men
drilled for debate. They have elected
men to the legislature on a platform
that pledged them to redeem abuses ,
prevent discrimination and put a stop
to extortion. If the railway managers
desire the legislators to violate their
oaths that bind them to carry out the
letter and spirit of the constitution
ihey will discover ere long that they
lave struck the wrong passenger. Tbe
railroad men are altogether to late with
their objections to railroad legislation
They ought to * have appeared
lefore the constitutional' conven
tion of ' 75 and and argued it there.
If the constitutional provision con
cerning railroads Is obnoxious let them
submit an amendment to the people
repealing that provision and see
what they'll get. The committee on
railways in the two houses only'insult '
the Intelligence of their constituents
by inviting these joint debates. Their
duty under the constitution is imper
ative. All they are called oh to
do ia to carry out their
oath of office. Jf they desiree
o serve the railroads and ignore their
duty , let them report back Church
Jowo'e resolutionsfof 1879 , which declare - ,
clare that no legislation is needed , and
then lot them go home to their con-
ititnents and see what a reception
they will hive.

In this respect , at least , corporations Q _

our government refused to
enect a law of primogeniture. The
aw distributes the wealth of a family
among its various members of erery
; eneration. If there is no will the
aw steps in and divides an estate
equally among the direct heirs. But
at this point the corporation appears
and hands immense wealth down from

seen at a glance that the power of a
corporation < to accumulate property

ir [ single hands is greater than that of
I individuals , under the English law of
primogeniture. The one perpetuates
wealth in a family , pisaing from the

maintained , and oven when these re

the holders of certain stock wherever
ihey ! may be. The stock will always
find holders while its property has
value , aud consequently the corpora

great corporations which' exist to-day
are the growth of the present gouora-
tion. Hjrdly ono of them Is thirty
yeara ' old. As yet they are the labor
of'one generation of men. We can

ty t that ! B , property which isnotcon-
o.-n'.rated in a corporation and man-
cgefl by a board of din > ctorH. When
they die , their interests in these cor
porations may ba distributed among
hundreds of heirs ; but the a grc-g-Uo
wealth of the corporation will not be
Impaired. It will have changed own
ers without undergoing the least
chaugo hi purpose or policy. An heir
may sell out , bet the purchaser takes
hla place. The corporation goes ri ht
along , accumulating wealth and pow
er holding it compact and managea
ble by a system of by-laws marvel
lously well adapted to its purpose , and
U as likely to live two centuries as
one with its power to accumulate In
creasing with increased means.
Wealth concentrated in families is
much less likely to aocumulito.
People born to wealth are not as a
rule taught the art of makiiig money.
Families think business derogatory
in the second or third generation of
affluence. They may hold dividend-
paying stocks in corporations , but
their share of the business ia per
formed when their agent or attorney
draws the dividends. A law of primogeniture
geniture tends rather to keep wealth
In a family than to spar the family to
increase its possessions. Ba ; the
corporation , which is always yonnw ,
yet mature , whoso purpose ia dis
tinctly marked out and whose methods
are established , will make an equal
revenue from e&ch dollar of a hun
dred million as from ono million.
A convict on Blackwell'sIsland "haa
invented a novel pump , discharging
fifty gallons a minute. " Just what
might have been expected of a con
vict , whom prison life has evidently
not reformed. A pump that discharg
es fifty gallons of novels per minute
beats the prolific Mra. Snuthvrorth.
And , of'course , they are dime-novels.
A convict wouldn't invent any other
kind of a novel pump. [ Norriatowu
