More Corporal Punishment 4.

The Galesburg Free Press, Of May 30
"hears, from n source which cannot DO
doubted, that n certain school teacher In
this city was quite recently, guilty ola
most inhuman net of cruelty. II seems
that one Of her pupils, little boy, about
2 years OF age, had committed some petty
misdcmcnnor, and after whipping him:
quite severely, she furtherei his punish
ment In the following manner; She oblg-
cd him 10 stoop over in such manner
that his head should hang down and his
back should be completely bent, allowing
him no support whatever, except the fore
finger Of the lcfr hand, which she suffered
him TO res, upon tho floor. In this ter
ribly torturcsomc posture she forced him
20 remain for hay an hour, and, when
that time had passed, the victim 10 her
singular cruelty was insane. Incredible
as II may seem, nothing ms yet has been
done 10 legally investigate this case.

Day. The British navy numbers 10 YES
sel', ours only 2o3. In our navy are only
$500 men; in the British $4,000 men. Yet
the estimates sent into Congress for our
navy department this year amount to $685.
2o5,67l, while for the British navy last
year the estimate was only $i99s3, 600.
Why is II that the navy of the United
States costs from three TO four times as
much per man enlisted as that of Great
Britain
If we had in our navy department the
honesty, economy and system which the
British have, the whole cost Of keeping
our little navy aAoat, as shown by the
comparative expenditures in the two coun-
tries, would be just $3.50, 200, instead Of
$6,976,Ooo. This department Is certainly
msladministered, and from this ab unO
omnes. This administration cannot es-
cape the maledictions Of history.

THE LAST ABoMINATTON.

The last and greatest abomina,ion Is the
so-callcd Enforcement act of the Forty
first Congress. The principles upon which
il is founded are essentially vicious and lis
assumptions false. II assumes that the
people are fully determined 10 disregard
the Fifteenth amendment, and that as
sumption involves another, either that the
people are desperately vicious or that the
amendment is unwise and wicked. Ii as
sumes that the people are not TO be trusted
10 observe the law themselves or TO choose
officers who will enforce 1t; that the ofi-
GERS chosen by them who take solemn
oath to support the Constitution Of the
United States are less likely to observe
that oath than officers appointed by the
President; that State judges are more
corrupt or less conscientious than the pol
iucians appointed to judicial positions by
the Executive that juries selected from the
body of the people under State laws are less
likely TO do their duty fairly and honestly
than those selected Arbitrarily by United
States marshal that u man Ia more likely
10 have fair trial far from his home
among strangers than he is among his
neighbors where he is known; that the
testimony Of n prosecuting and hired wit
ness Is less dangerous TO liberty and justice
whore he is not known than where he is
known, and lastly, that a Federal court,
sitting in one corner Of II large district or
State, is more likely TO arrive at just con-
illusions as 10 who is entitled 10 vote in
the remote precincts Of the district or State
than State court would be sitting in the
immediate neighborhood where the ques-
lions arose and whore the parties and facts
are well known
Tina, these assumptions are insulting to
the intelligence of the people aud in their
length aud breadth most UNANIMOUSLY false,
are facts that are patent everywhere.
Founded upon an insulting dis,rust Of
the American people, imposing severe and
unusual penalties, subJeoling the innocent
to the mercy of the corrupt and vicious
and offering high premium for false
swearing, the Amendment Law is the |
most execrsble and damnable enactment
that ever disgraced the statute books of our |
nation. But why denounce il The peo-
