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.

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

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

Hereafter the territorial residents are tc

policy to pursue In the distribution ol

TUB republicans have nominated n
ocd councllmanic ticket. Now lot the
democrats do likewise , and the city will

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

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

The night of October 3rd found onr

army had llttlo confidence in his military

Notwithstanding the abundance oi
whisky dnring the night few of the men
drank to excess. Wo know that a big

In the meantime ,
B1TXERY IIOIIIKKTIB
haa been stormed by a heavy force wh'cl '

shaking under oar feet with the firing ol

guns cinnot bo depressed enough to dc
them harm ; they rush pell rnell into the
ditch , tolvo feet deep and fifteen feel
acrow , with sloping bands ; they plambei
up the further side , capture the petition ,
drlvo our gunners from their places and
turn the big guns agaiatt us. Magnificent

"Oil , THE WILD CHAKOEl"
Among those ctptnred at Battery Rib-
notto was Lieut. Labruzan , of the
forty-second Alabama , who in his jour-
uil , which was copied by aomo of our
> oya , thus describes the assault :
"At 10 o'clock , suddenly the fight
'airly ' opened , with heavy volleys of
musketry and the double thundering
cannon. This waa on the right. In a
: ow mtnntca the loft wont into action In
splendid style. At 10:10 : o'clock Col.
llogers came up by n § , only sayIng -
Ing "Alabama forces. " 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. Wo were now mot by a per
fect storm of grape , camnlstor , cannon
balls and Mlnnlo balls' Ob , God I I have
never seen the llkel The men fell like
grass , oven bore. Giving ouo trj mend-
mis cheer , wo dashed to the bottom of
the hill ou which the fortlficatlona are
situated. Here wo found every foot ol
ground covered with largo treed anc
brush , cut down to impede progress.
Looking to the right and left , I aaw sev
eral brigades charging at the same timo.
What a sight was theto. I saw men run
ning at full apeod , atop suddenly and fall
upon their f ices , with their brnlns scat
tered nil around. Others , with lega antl
nrraa cut off , shrieking with agony. They
full behind , beside , and within a few feel
ot mo. I gave myself to God , and gel
ahead of my ccmpauy. The ground was
literally etrowcd with mangled corpspa
Ono ball passed through my pants , anc
they cut twig * rieht by mo. It ooomcd ,
by holding out my hand I could have
caught a dozen. They bnzzdd and biased
by mo In all directions , butjl atilljpnshod
forward. I seemed to bo moving right in
TIIK MOUTU OF CA ' ON ,
for the air was filled with grape anc
cinnistor , Ahead waa ono continuous
blaze. I rnahod to the ditch of the fort.
right between Bomo largo cannon. J
grappled Into it end half way up the slop
ing wall. The enemy was only three or
four feet from mo on the other aide , bul
could not ehoot us for fear of having
( heir heads blown ofl. Our men were It
the eame predicament. 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. "
