A Visit to the Ponltwutlary and Insane Asylum Convict Labor Care of tho Inmates. Editor Orkqo.v Scoot: Monday, February 10th, 1801, found ino with a friend on my way to visit Oregon's state prison and insane ass lum. Arriving at the ollioo we found G. W. Barr acting as turnkey, lotting us in with a remark th.it we may pos sibly havo to stay there for lif ; and as the bin, massive iron door closed upou us our thoughts could la naught. oNo but gloomy. The first thing that im pressed us was the exact neatness of all our surroundings. Everything had its place and was in its place. System and order are tho ruling ideas. Wo first visited tho cell wards where each cell would be an exaniplo for many housekeepers, both as to neatness and order. All tho buildings are supplied with electric ligh's and stoma heat, giving tho inmates every comfort of life, bul that of liberty. Wo were per mitted to look into tho colls of several life convicts where there can be aught else but an aching void. Hearts that once were innocent childhood a mother's pride, now forever buried be neath those massive walls and iron doors, burred and soouved by iriplo looks, shut out forever from home and kindred love. Death would bo more charitable. From the cell wards we went into the dining apartments. The rooms are large and well ventilated, looking more like tho dining room of a board ing school than of a prison. Tho bill ot faro for dinner that day was taken from tho chief cook's register, and was as follows: beef, 5150 pounds; potatoes, 400 pounds ; macaroni soup, gravy on potatoes, celery, parsley, bread, beans and fruits, and 7 pounds of coffee for one meal. There is from .100 to 810 prisoners constantly, and every availablo space in the cell room is occupied. About one-half tho prisoners attend Sunday school every afternoon. They volun tarily gather to worship, though looked down upon and ignored by the outor work!, whilo many of thorn havo a warmer, kinder, true heart beating within thoir breasts than many of the unimprisoned rascals who go about in free life. If all would show as just and sympathizing a feeling as do tho keep ers of theso poor wretched convicts, life would be more real. Tho fallen would rise up and support thomsolves instead of being crowded further down. Tho averago ago of the presout inmates is 27 years. In ono place wo saw eight thousand stoves made thoro by prison labor. The Northwestern Stovo Foun dry Company pay the stato 40 cents a day for tho labor of tho prisoners and thoy employ all tho availablo forco to bo had. Hastening on our journey wo catno to tho inaano asylum and found tho in mates out for their daily walk in tho fresh air in the ward rooms. Somo of them would smile as wo passed, others would frown and jabber awhile, whilo others would not even look up. Somo who would not smil at us would look gratified and pleased upon seeing our guido. (A blunder I made in not get ting his namo.) Wo went through all the different wards, whoro each cot with its suffering patient was as com fortable and woll cared for as could bo. Nothing is lacking here to alleviate pain and suffering; the clothing of all is neat and exceptionally clean. Tho dining rooms aro a model of neatness and ordor. Each ward has ono, pro sided ovor by a competent waiter. Thoro aro now G28 inmates of this in stitution. Tho state pays all expenses, and tho counties pay for remitting the patients there. It costs tho stato $12. 40 por month for each individual. All the cooking and washing is dono by steam. Wo noxt, in company with O. II. Fay nnd G, W, Ruckman, paid a visit to tho school for deaf mutes. Through tlio efforts of tlio head tcaohor, Mr. Ir ving, wo woro highly pleased and grat ified with tho oxerciEos and ovwlutionH of his pupil.". Tho rapid progress of the little boys and girls is truly amaz ing, and will repay anyone for a visit there; and hero wo find anofher cast! similar to tho one of Irwin vs Wilson, of tho Indian school. It should ho by all nitons for Superintendent Benja min Irving is head teacher. P. S. Knight is simply a parasite to the en tire institution. Why ho is retained there no ono scorn to know. "Sir. Fay has a handsome dwelling, J after the cottage style, surrounded by live oak, and a sparkling stre.na of (he purest water ruiu thiough his proper ty. fTe moved from l In- Satidridge thoro to put his little hoy in the mute school, and the bright little follow i. making rapid strides in mast'-ring ev ery difficulty in this hi first term. Thoro should bo a state law eomp -lling every mute child to be sent to this school, and the stato ehould look more to its buildings and location, and pro vide for it in every way, as it does all other state charges. There is none more meritorious or deserving than the education of those who aro so unfortu nate as to be without the sense of hear ing. Wo aro undor especial obligations for favors shown by Mr. Fay, James Ilondershott, J. C. Thompson, roprse tentative of Morrow county, and oth ers. We mot Mr. Phil Wilson at the Salem depot.

Olough has quite a force run ning on the Union. Tlio tunnel is about 900 feet long. Sparta was visited by a strong Chi nook wind last, week that settled tho show and took oil' lots of it. Tho Del Monto mine improveinent. and hoisting works are still under an attachment by E. E. Olough. A force is working on tho Dolly Var din, taking out ore for shipment. Teams are employed hauling tho ore out on sleds. As soon as the condition of Lie loads will permit it, Will be trans ported to Baker in wagons and shipped oast for reduction. Thoro is now two feet of snow on tho level at Sparta, and with a heavy fall in the mountains the placer miner is as sured of a long and profitable season. A largo amount of pbcer ground which has remained idlo for some years will bo worked this season. D. C. Dilworth has been working a forco of men all winter on the Mar rotto mine, and the property is show ing up most encouragingly. Mr. Geo. Yr. Bobinson, of Dotroit, will arrive in this city in a few days for the purposo of inspecting tho mine and ascertain ing tho proper machinery to place on tho mine for the reduction of tho ore. Quito a crowd of Spartaites went to Eaglo valley to attend tho masquerade ball on tho eve of the 2.'3d. There was quito a large turnout of maskers for the first ball of that kind, among the most prominent was Miss Nadio Hol bomb, who represented Irene, tho Queen of Winter. Miss II, received the premium for tho finest costume. Miss May Moody, as Queen of Hearts and Miss Clara Oraig, as Queen of Boses, were good. Mrs. Eugeno Chandler, as a school girl, fooled all of them. She sustained her character finely. Thoy all did very well and all enjoyed themselves. The supper was given at Mr. Chas. Howell's and was excellent, only it was so hard getting to it through tho mud about a quarter of a mile. Mr. Andrew Hitter was floor manager. He was tho right man in tho right placo. Know Mouk.

Amendments to the International Copy right and Diplomatic Appropri ation Bills. N'Asm.VHro.v, P. C. I'Vb. 2.", 1S!)1. EntToit OiiHOo.N Scour: Senator Gorman lias exploded a j heavily londed bomb in (ho ranks of j the free coinage democrat, who have recently been talking of giving him the presidential nomination on a fr.o coin age platform, by slating in terms, not to lie misconstrued that lie it not and will not bo a candidale under any cir cumstances. And as if that, was not enough ho has announced his prefer ence for Cleveland and hisintoution to see that. Maryland sends a solid Cleve land delegation to the democratic na tional convention. This bold and decisive action .ui tlio part of Senator Gorman in tho face of Mr. Cleveland's clearly defined position against the free coinage ot silver, has revived the talk that was prevalent, when Senator Gorman was maneuver ing to get. tho free coinage bill, which lie afterwards voted for, passed by tho fccnale, to wit: that Senator Gorman was not in favor of the enactment of a free coinage law, and that ho would never have supported it in the senate if ho had had any idea that it would become a law. It was not his enemies, but his political aud personal friends who whispered around at that timo that he was playing a part with a double purpose in view, tho killing of the Federal election bill and making tho lepuhlicans responsible for tho fail ure of the freo coinage bill. Apparent ly lie succeeded in both. A gentleman prominent in the coun cils of the farmers' alliance, said today that tho fight which tho Maryland al liance lias already begun upon Gorman, will bo more aggressive from this timo on, and that a mighty effort would ho made to elect a majority of tho legis lature that will namo his successor. 1 will remark in passing that Gorman is a mighty hard man to beat; bul so also was Ingalls. If any doubt remained as to tho im portance of tlio farmers' alliance move ment as a political factor, it was dis sipated in tho minds of those who havo soon tho deference paid to several of the alliance ropresontatives-olcct, in cluding Jerry Simpson, whoso famo has become national, that aro now here looking over tho legislative field. It is said that two of the most promi nent candidates for speaker of tho noxt house havo, through frionds, mado di rect overtures for tho support ol farm ers' allianco members. Their over tures havo bepn, I am informed, re spectfully received, and thoy havo been informed that it was tho intention of tho alliance men to .support tlio candi date that would promise to do the most toward meeting the demands of the alliance in national legislation. Whether tho international copy right bill is dead or alive is a debatable question. It has been passed by the senate, but tho original bill has been so amended that it is a vory different measure from what it was when passed by tho houBe, aud it now has to take tho chances of ovor getting before tho houso again, as well as of getting tho senate amondmonta approved by tho houso, Tho amendmont which tho sonato iias attached to tho diplomatic appro priation bill granting a subsidy of $ 3, 000,000 for tho laying of a cable be tween San Francisco and tho Sand wich Islands, in annual installments of $250,000, is expected to provoko a lively discussion in tho house, in which tho ugly word "job" is certain to be used, and it is a mattor of grave doubt whether tho houso will agreo to it. My own impression is that tho amendmont will be struck out. Tlio sonato has passed tho house bill increasing the ponsion of Mrs. Ouster to $100 a month. Mr. Plumb porti nently asked when tho voto was takon if tho ponsion committco of tho sonato had coiiHidoroit the feasibility of in creating the pensions of tho widows of private soldiers, Mr, Davis chairman of that committee, replied in tho nega tive. Mr.. Harrison anil his cabinet attend ed tho funeral of Admiral Porter hero on Tuesday, and on Thursday thoy, with the exception of Secretary Proc tor, went-to New York to pay a like respect to the remains of the late Gen eral Sherman. Tho lepublieans seem to ho afraid that the democrats will do something I net ween tins ami tlio lotn'li of March I to make an extra session necessary. Tho friends oi the candidates for the ; speakership of tho new uon.-e have been j counting iuim's. The speaker can bo I elected by the votes of the new demo j emtio inemburs, but of course such a combination isn't possible. Tho two j leading candidates with tho democratic i members of tho present house, who j have been elected members of the next i are Crisp, of Georgia and Mills, of J Texas, anil to the eh.igr.n of the latter gentleman it has been discovered that i more than half of them favor Judgo I Crisp, who lias unduuhl-dlv piolited j by Mr. Mills', recent exhibition of temper in tho house. .1.
