In a recent article on prison rvbosos , particularly with reference to the bar- barons treatment of Tenncssoo convlcti , the BEE Incidentally mentioned that the penitentiary prhoncra generally through out the icuth were cruelly treated , ANew Now York lawyer , who h i given the matter of prison reform considerable at tention , wrltoo to the BEI : saying that : "Our prison system la a loathsome sere on the surface of our civilization. Men are not cured of crime nor led into rlqht ways of thinking nnd acting , nor brought into harmony with society by brutal treatment , nor being pnt under the domination and control of others moro degraded and brutal than themselves. I doubt , however , If you are right in say ing that convicts are treated inhumanly particularly In the south. ' Mr. Burn- ham Wardwell , who has devoted the boat yoara of his lifo to 'prison reform' has unearthed some revolting inhumanities in the Now England states. Ho has just been releaaod from Imprisonment in Dcdham jail , Massachu setts , whoto ho was incarcerated for too free but perhaps none the less propoi crltlciam of a sheriff , and where ho oaye ho suffered more from hunger than he did In contcdorato prisons during the war. " There la no doubt that there arc abuses In nearly every penitentiary in this country which ought to bo abolished , but they will continue until aomo person or association causes an exposure and calls the attention of the atato officials tc the condition of affairs. In some atatc : there are prison reform ataoclatinna , and aomo of them are doing good wotk , but r national association with aomo lifo [ in II is what Is needed. Such an aitoclntlor will find plenty of work bcforo it , It every state and territory it should havi nganta who are known to bo phllanthropi ! and foirleas poraons who will do thcli duty in Investigating the con duct of prison management , point ing out abusoa aud doing ovorythiof possible to remedy them , and augqestlnj. Improvements from time to time regard Ing the treatment of convicts. If then ia anything In this country that needi reform it is prison management , but 1 will bo a difficult matter to accompllsl reform HO long as there is no concettec movement in that direction. The pub lie , of course , is kept in ignuranco o what la going on within the prison walls and It is only through released convict that wo occasionally learn of the crue practices of the -wardens , koopera am guards. JUDGE STKNBERG. The republicans of Omaha could no have found a bettor candidate for polk judge than Judge Stouberg. Ho has livci in Omaha for nearly fifteen years , and i widely and favorably known. Ho ia ; natlvo of Sweden , and is of Gemini descent , his ancestors having emigrate' ' from Germany to Sweden for the purpos of establishing a glass factory , tbo firat i that country , and in which business man , of hla relations are atlll extensively en gaged. Mr. Stenborg by trade is a ma ohlnist and mechanical draughts mac having served his apprenticeship iu th Swedish navy yard. When twenty year of ago ho came to America , and in th fall of 1871 losatod in Omaha , where h 1 found employment for some conslderabl tlmo in the Union Pacific shops. H afterwards became buslnes ) manager c the Scandinavian paper , Folkcts Tidninr , When Judge Anderson was olecte police judge Mr. Stonbcrg bocam hla clerk , and was soon afterward elected justice of the peace in the Tbir ward , and has been re-elected thre times , this being his fourth term. Thi strong endorsement of a republican in ward that is largely democratic la cor vlnclng proof of the popularity of Mi Stenborg ai a citizen , and the faith t the people In hla ability and impartial ! ! In the administration of justice. H decisions have always been regarded i corrost , and have given general satisfa tlon to the hwyera and their client The bar of Onuha have the greatest con fidcnco iu Judge Stcnberg. During h leisure time ho Lu devoted himself I the atudy of the law , which together wit hia experience as justice of the pone qualifies him In an eminent degree it the position of police judge. E is n man forty yews of ftp ; of correct habits , and sour judgment. The republicans nro to 1 congratulated upon having selected hi as a candidate , for ho will add atrongt to the ticket. Ho will poll the fu Scandinavian vote , which is very largo I Omaha , and among all classes of poop ho will bo heartily supported , as ho Ia oi of our most respected citizens. Wo hai reason to believe ho will bo elected by handsome majority. AT the grand distribution of aheoj aklna , which took place at Boyd's opoi house Thursday evening , the public vn treated by the dignified profoatorj 1 serious , solemn nnd melancholy dissert tlons about medicil science ia gener and the mysteries and mummeries of tl rs M. D. in particular. To the unlnltlatc patrons of the pill-box and sjnlpel thoi profound panegyrics of physicians an physics wore so much hog-Latin. The came away knowing no moro than tin did before the commencement con menced. It the learned professors Iu addressed the graduating M , D.'s aft tbo style of the great Majendi when be sBsumod the profeasoi chair of medicine at the Collej of Franco , their remarks would have bee much moro sensible and much moro aj predated. Professor Majendio said i his claw of students. "Gentlemen , mei iclno la a humbug. Who knowa an ; thing about medicine ? I toll yon franl ly , I don't. Nature does a good dea doctors do very little when they don do harm , " Majendio then wont on I toll the pungent llttlo professional tale out of school : "When I was head physi cian at the Hotel Dion , I divided the pa tients in throe lectioni. To ono I gave the regular dispensary medicine In the regular w y ; to another I gave bread , milk and colored water ; and to the third section I gave nothing at all. Well , gen tlemen , every ono in the third section got well. Nature invaiiably came to the THE number of business failures for the rat qtmttor of 1885 ( partly estimated ) Is tatcd by Uradtlrect's to bo 3849 , .gainst . 3,320 for the corresponding period last year. The number Is said to bo much larger than the total during n like ottlon cf any preceding year slnco such Utlstics have been collected , " The .mount . of the liabilities and assets la not ot known , but the number of heavy 'ailnrea ' Is comparatively small , The ovl- once which the weekly records have ircaontod slnco the beginning ot the year oints to a rather larger proportion of otty failures than heretofore , from 85 to 0 per cent , of all being among traders whoio capital is under $5,000 , some of hem being as low as $200. The Cloar- ng-houso exchanges again show an Ira- orient decline in the aggregate of trans- ctions , nnd the demand for money , which ia the enroot test of business pros- icrity , remains as sluggish as over. IN the event of the removal of B. Platt Oarpantor , of Montana , President Clove- and will In all probability appoint n resi dent of the territory as his aucccajor , and cry likely Delegate Mtginnls will bo the acky man. Carpenter is a carpet-badger rom Now York , and will have to go. Hereafter the territorial residents are tc bo given a show , which la a very sensible policy to pursue In the distribution ol 'cdoral patronage In the territories. TUB republicans have nominated n ocd councllmanic ticket. Now lot the democrats do likewise , and the city will bo aafo dnring the next two years. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The ( trained relations between Englaut and lluasla are about to culminate In r declaration of war. If the British Licn'i ultimatum to the RussianBoarls rejectee war will bo declared within the next forty eight hours. The unbounded enthusiast ! with which the quacn'a proclamation , ordering out the reserves , was recoivcc by the British populace affords ample proof of the eagerness of the English tub jcctsofhor majesty for a rupture o fiiondly relations with Russia The ex tensive preparations which are now unde : way on land and S2a on the part o ! thi British military and nayal authentic ; would indicate a determination on thi part of England to resist the further ad vance of Russia toward India at al hazuds. Russia is by no means unprepared pared for auch a contingency. Shi has all the advantage of position an < prestige , and will bo moro than a motel for all the forces that England can mna ter in Asia. While England at best cat only forward troops and munitions o war to Afghanls'an by a circuitous wata : route , Russia baa direct railway conncc tlons into the heart of Central Asia , anc direct telegraph communications betwooi St. Petersburg and Merv. If it is alsi true that Russia has formed a secre alliance with Turkey , whereby the latte will extend aid and comfort to her forme enemy , on the Black sea and through th DardanelleB , England will find hencl at great disadvantage in the comln ; contest. With the flower of her army kept busy in the Soudan , with Itoland li a saml-revolutionary condition , and ho Australian colonies en tbo point of or gacizing an independent confederation England Is aadly handicapped for a attug gle thai will tar all her resource ] on lane and sja The vialt of the Prince of Wale to Germany haa loubtleas been t > kei with a view cither of securing neuttallt ; on the part of that great nation , or i may oven have resulted in an understand Ing that may ultimately tipen into a dn ftmlvo and offensive alliance. Russia i no match for Germany and Englani csmbiooi , but in the event o auch a combination , Russia wonli doubtless secure other allio whoso Intercuts are moro or If as in an tagonltm with thoeo of England ac < Germany. There ia no telling what day may bring forth. With England am Russia a general European war would b almost certain to follow. There ia a pic siblllty , however , that the Inevitable con sequences of a conflict between Ilussi and England will enlist armed intervon tlon on the pirt of other powers , an bring about a peaceable settlement cf th difficulties between the two countries. The English troops have had a rougl tlmo of it iu their advance toward Bar bor. The broken country at the end n their firat day's march appeals to hav been filled with fanatical Arabs , wh made a determined attack and luillctei casualties to the number of 200 or more They were beaten oil with aevoro loss but dnring the light they injured 01 killed some 500 camels , and did mucl other damage. Osman DIgna is reportoi to bo near at hand with 25,000 menand i pitched battle la liable to bo foogh within a day or two. The English an really fighting ever ground they hav been twlco ovtr already , and the result o the previous disaster and abandonmen by thn second force is that the Arabs an emboldened to offer a desperate resist ance. If this should continue all th way across the desert the loss by mor attrition must bo severe , The worst fca turo of the recent affair is the fact tha the Engliih were surprised. Tiisy wort not at all conscious of the presence of ; largo force within attacking ilittauco But once they were ateailed thi'y fough with desperate energy and Inflicted ao vore lotto. But evidently they will bo compelledti make a pernnnoaoy of the occupation o the Soudan. To fight their way acrosa th desert , laving water pipes as they go especially at this season , when the Lea la intense , will nocosiltato the holding o what ( hall thus boso expensively secured But this whole war his assumed largo proportions and greater Importation thai ever before. This ia the real difficulty General Wolseley has abindoned Korl aud gone to Dongola. Thesu-rmer eve and , unless In the meantime the Afghai border becomes the scene of war , the struggle in the Soudan will assume the proportions of a considerable war. The vast region will probably bo conquered nnd made tributary to the tntereits of England , as those shall bo developed through Egypt. The Russian intriguing with Turkey Is becoming moro audacious every day , M , NelldofT , the Russian ombassador at Constantinople stantinople- , has the car of the sultan , and seems to enjoy bis fullest confidence. England has no dlplomato on the ground tklllfnl enough to cope with M. Nolldoff. It is generally admitted that England's power over Turkey has been waning ever Blnco Lord Bulletin loft Constantinople Behind the long and tedious correspon dence as to the delimitation of the Afghan frontier , the warlikoaapect of the Afghan and Russian outpotts , the threat ened seizure of Herat , and the renewed menace to Indit , the eastern question once moro makes its appearance , and all England la torn up ever the prospect that Russia and Turkey will form an alliance. There Is noth ing improbable In the report that the two powers have made cr are , bout to make such an alliance. Turkey is in the mood for it. In her Egyptian _ ollcy England has ridden over Turkey with a rough hand and thrnat atido all her protests and protcmlono with con < 'romptuoua Indilloronco. From the day when Mr. Gladstone denounced "thoin - ipeakablo Turk" until now there has beet to love wasted between them , and II Turkey can secure Got many'a consent 'here is llttlo doubt that aho will make ho alliauco at once. Such an allunci would bo of great advantage to Russia t would compel England to abandot Egypt and would glvo Russia great ad vantage In Asia , besides banishing thi British fleet from the Black Sea. The Upper Nile railway , althougl atoly thrown into the ahado by the pro jectcd line from Snakin to Berber , wil undoubtedly acquire considerable 1m pottinco whenever the British advanci outhward Is resumed. Its originator the cx-khcdivo , Ismail Pasha , carried i up the river from Wady-Halfoy as for a Sairns. Hero the British took it up las summer , and had laid down fifteen of tin alxty-two mlloa on the Snrras-Forko section ( which avoids the forrnid able Dal Rsplda ) when the wan of material and of natlvo labo stopped the work on the 28th of October bor hat. Gen. Woltoloy now report that the completion of the romainltij fotty-zoven miles to Ferket , and the lay ing down of light tramways at Fattnel and Khalbar in order to avoid thi cataracts , would establish unintorruptei communication by rail and water botwoei Wady-Halfay , Dongola. and Kortl a any season of the year. Ho adds however over , that any project of a pormaneu and continuous tatlway would Involv the necessity of various heavy cutttnge ono if not moro bridges across the INilc and possibly several tunnels as well. If Franco Is behind President Barrios of Gnatamalo , in his attempt to pocko the other Central American states , am make a union of which ho shall bo vlrtna dictator , the undertaking is likely i como out at nearly tbo same hole whor that of Maximilian emerged jnat twont ; yeata ago. President Fotry and M. d IrCBseps would do well to tutn back t their history of that day , nnd toe wit ] what celerity the Europeans ban died out of Mexico , when , at the em of our civil war , the government c the United States joined ita potentln voice to that cf the natlvo Mexican ? , an < bade the Intruders depart. In thn pro ; ent ca'.o , our Interest is clearly to pic tect the autonomy of those states Sa1 Sslvador , Costa Rica and Nicaragua- which do not consent to bo abtsorboi under the Barrios control , and if Eu ropaan nations learn by experience tha when they attempt to meddle in the poll tical affairs of the western continent , the ; are sure to have their lingers burned. I will bo to them a very wholesome on useful lesson. There is great excitement in Ottaw ever the announcement that an outbreak headed by Louis Riol , who led the re bclllcn at Red River in 1870 , has take plao among the half-breeds near Prlnc Albert , Northwest territory. They hav cut the telegraph wires and stopped com munication. The immediate cause of th trouble is not known. Ono of tbo tele grama cays it is beliovcd that th cauae was a letter setting fort ! that Riel was not a British subject An additional force of mounted polic has bsen provldtd by procuring aid froi the Hudson Bay Company , Fort Carlton where abont 100 men nro stationed , A Duck Lake there are about ninety mer and they will join the others at Carltot : Members of the government are endcai oring to make as light .11 possible of th trouble , but it ia well known Ihey at eciiously alarnud. When Chile had got her font upon th nook of Peru , she dictated the toinn c peace , whloh were humiliating and ala deemed oppressive to the latter powei Chile , however , was inexorable. As th conqnorer , she deemed it altogetlu proper that her demands ehould be con piled with without a demur. An intei national coutt of arbitration waa heir which did not view the condition of al fairs through Chilean glasses , and it d < elded that Peru , from the concasslor mido to Chile , ehonld receive $29,000 000. Ware are always expensive , an their outcome can never bo foretold wit certainty. The "Bismarck memorial fund , " It I announced , now amounts to $575,00 , ( Considering that the fund is collected b general subscription from a poor an extremely frugal people , this' sum i enormoua.

Oar forces were command- el by General llosecrano who had boon Icfoatod by Van Darn at Inks , Mist , , wo weeks previously and the Union army had llttlo confidence in his military skill. Notwithstanding the abundance oi whisky dnring the night few of the men drank to excess. Wo know that a big ) attlo would bo fought on the morrow and the men had no disposition to add tc Loir desperate situation by getting drunk. In town all was uproar and con- inslon , stores and dwellings wcrj broken open and oar colored cooks re turned to onr bivouac load ed with crackers , chccao , ginger snaps , sardines , canned fruits , etc. , as thuli sbaro of the plunder BO easily obtained.

The sun rises higher and higher and wi seek shady places , keeping a lookout fo ; developments. At half pact ten there ii a otlr among the enemy's skirmishers and the bu'lots ' fall around us In a lively fashion. Wo are sheltered behind scat tcring trees so that DO one is hit. Fin minutes later the cry is heard , "Here they come ! " and a line ot battle com posed of six regiments marches out of tin woods directly in front of us , followed bj others iif equal strength , and movei swiftly towards net. Too commands o ; tnoir officers are plainly hoard , and as il was not the intention that ono companj of the Second Iowa should repel an at' tack by the entire rebel army , wo "aboui foco" and fall back on our man- line , still deployed as skir mltheis.

" Our regiment , with the brlgado rose , unmindful of the smell of shot , and moved forward , marching abont 250 yards and rising on the crest of the hill. The whole of Cor inth , with ita enormous fortifications , burst upon our view. The United States flags wore floating ever the forts and in the town.

Only fivn or six wore on the wall , and thirty or forly In and around Iho ditch. A mm within two feet of tna , put hio head cautiously up , to shoot Into the fort. But ho sad den ly dropped his musket , and his brains were dashed In a stream over my fine coat , which I had in my arms , and on my shirt sleeves. Several wora killed hero , cno top on another , end rolled down the embankment in ghastly hoips. Thla waa done by a regiment of Yankees coming about forty yards on our loft , after find ing us entirely cut ofl , and firing into ua. Sbvoral of our men cried , "Put down the flag , " and it waa lowered , or shot into the ditch. Oh , wo were butchered like dogs , as wo were not supported. Snrno ono placed a white handkerchief on Sergeant Buck's musket , and he took it to a port holo. Bnt the Yankees snatched it off and took him prisoner. The ditch being full , and finding we had no chauca , the survivors tried to aave them- lelvos as best they could , I was so far up , I could not got off quickly. I and Oapt. Fet ter started tognther , and the air waa literally filled trlth biasing balls I got abont twenty stops , ,13 quick aa I could , about a dozen being killed In that distance. I foil down and scrambled be hind a lurgo stump. Jutt then , I saw poor Foster throw up hla hands , and sayIng - Ing "Oh , my God ! " jumped about two feet from the ground , falling en hla fdca. The top cf hla head aoomod to ewe in , and the I1LOOD SPOUTED STIUIOIIT Of several f cot. I could BOO men fall cs they attempted to run , some with their heads blown to pieces , and others with bliod streaming from their backs. It waa horrible. One poor fellow bo' 113 almost on me , told mo his name , and atked rno to take his pocket-book if I escaped and glvo it to his mother , and tell her that ho died a bravo man. I asked him if ho was a Chrlttmu , and told him to pray , which ho did , with the cannon thundering a deadly accompaniment. Poor fellow , his lega vroro literally cut to plecee. "An our men returned , the enemy pourcdr in their lira and I was hardly thirty feet from the mouth of the cannon. Minnie balls filled the stump I was be hind , and the shells burstod within three feet of mo. Ono was BO near it stunned mo , and b.irncd my face with powder. The grapeshot hewed largo pieces ofl my stump , gradually wearing It mv y. I endured - durod the hnrrnra of death hero for hall an hour , end cndtavorcdto resign myself and prayed. Our troops formed Inline in the woodc , and advanced a xecond tlmo to the chatuo wlthcuora ! , They began firing whouTabont half way , and I had to endure It all. I was feigning death. I waa right between our own and the cnoajy'a fire. In the first charge our men did not fire a RUD , but charged HCTOBQ the ditch , and to the very mouth of the c union , with the bayonet , 80 also the Boooud charge , but thry tired. Our boys weto shot down Hko hogo , and could not stand It , and fell back each intm for himself. Then tbo stiiio aceno WAS enacted as boforo. This tlmo the Yankees charged after them , and as 1 had no chance at all , and all around mo were surrendering , I waa compelled to do HP , aa a rascal threatened to ehoot mo. I had to filvo up my sword to him. I had no moans of de fending mjsolf for the first tlmo In many yoara , I cried to aeo cur bravo men slaughtered ao. " A From St. Nicholas. When a.
