THE SCHOOL FOR DEAF MUTES.
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

E. E. Olough has quite a force run

Sparta was visited by a strong Chi

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

A largo amount of pbcer ground which
has remained idlo for some years will

D. C. Dilworth has been working a

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

Gorman Not a Presidential
Candidate.
FARMERS' ALLIANCE MOVEMENT.
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.
