CORPORAL PUNISHMENT SHOULD
N0r BE TOLERATED.

Before the new school year shall
begin, the TIMES will endeavor to
cause a reform in the manner of pun
fishing the pupils in the public schools
in some of the districts of Alturas
county, by having corporal punish
,ment either prohibited altogether, or
resorted to only in the most extreme
cases.
Strict, even severe, discipline is
necessary in the public schools; but
corporal punishment is relic of bar.
barism which should be invoked as
rarely as possible, because it degrades
the pupil in the opinion of his fellows,
and is apt to cause him to lose that
self-respeot without which he cannot
be expected to prove a useful, honor
able citizen. Corporal punishment
Is scarcely tolerable even with brutes !;
it is therefore more intolerabie where
human beings are concerned.
There are SO many ways in which
children can be punished that it is
really astonishing that any teacher
should insist in INDUCING his predilec-
tion-for prediction it is-for in.
tlicting bodily harm. And the per
sistency with which it is INDUCED in
by some teachers should 90 a great
way toward forever disqualifying them
from teaching.
The days when the ever present
rattan proved considerable factor in
the education OF youth have gone by,
together with the torturing of prison
ers, the cruolties of the Inquistion, the
tyranny of classes, and the equally
olious exac,ions of royalty. And the
sooner all school trustees and tea chers
realize this, and act accordingly, the
hotter it will be for them, for the
growing generation, and fsr the
world.

A FALSE kssu&.

For some reason, probably with a view
of deceiving the people, many of the
speakers and newspapers in the present
campaign assert that one Of the issues be.
tween the principal political psrtiee is
free trade and protection. Though every
intelligent person knows that assertion
so be false. it is reiterated by one of the
parties from Maine to Texas and from
che Atlantic to the Pacific. The rev.
enaes of the Government for the fiscal
year ending June 3Oth last were about
S39O. OO0, 600 Of which about 1920, 000. 600
gas derived from the duties on imports.
Tho expenditures for the same period
we're about 1920, O0O. 600 or about $780,
100000 moro .han the revenue from
duties on imports. 1t is therefore evil
dent that so long as the expenditures Of
the Government amount to anything
near what they are as present. that free
trade is ont of the question, aud is not
now and osnnot,i IN this century. at least,
be an issue in American politics.
The leading issue to-day is TO reduce
taxation and keep the money, which is
now being accumulated IN the Treasury,

AFrench corsalr.


On one occasion, having been wreck
ed and cast ashore destitute near San
Lucar, DOublet had accepted the
command Of a small vessel bound for
the Canaries. She was 70 tons bur
den, mad L gun. 10 8-pOunder,l 10
swivels. and some blunderbusses; ID
men, a boy. and a passenger-l6 all
told-and her name was SainU-An-
tome. The day after they sailed they
sighted a settee. which. from the
number Of oars she was pulling, DOu-
blet conjectured to be a Sallee cruiser.
Sale or not, he judged it was as we'll
to be prepared, and accordingly load
ed his gun, his swivels, and his blum
derbusses up to the muzzIe with ball,
grape, and small shot, got ready what
muskets, pistols, and pixies they had
on board; surrounded the helm with
a screen Of mattresses, slung the main
yard in a chain, and so waited the
event. AS the stranger approached
doubt gave way to certainty; turbans
could be seen on board, and MOOrs.
The men of the Saint-AntOine were
wild with terror, which took the form
of VOWS to attend church barefoot on
the first opportunity. DOublet
more practically got up a barrel OF
powder, lighted a match, and called
out, eff any one fails in hisduty will
kill him and fire the powder; better die
than be the slave these barbariRns."
At this time the settee, having come
within pistol shot, fired her broad
side Of 8 guns and ID sWivels. but
without doing much damage. DOub-
let reserved his fire, waiting for them
to attempt to board. Fortunately q
breeze sprang up, the Saint-AntOine
answered her helm, and paid of just
as the settee was ranging alongside;
at the same moment DOublet fired
into the thick of the crOWd-every-
thing, the gun, the sWivels, the blum
derbuses, and the muskets Many
were killed; many fell into the water
and were there shot; three only gained
the deck OF the Saint-AntOine, of
whom DOublet shot one; a second
sprang overheard and was shot in
the water; the third jumped down the
hatchWay and hid hImselfin the hold.
Meantime, DOublet having got his
armament all loaded again, steered
straight for the pirate, and, when
within pistol shot, fired with the same
happy precision as before. A third
discharge reduced them TO cry out for
quarter; and, adds DOublet. elf had

Curious Story of an Alarm
Clock.

A cOmical incident occurred on the
Polish frontier. A lady who had been
making purchases IN the town of Kat
towitz, with the express purpose Of
smuggling them into Poland, bought
among other items an alarm-clOck at
a matchmaker Thinking lightly Of
the matter, she even told the young
matchmaker OF her intention, and got
him to ask his wife to tie the clock
beneath what is n Ow called q Figure
imprOver." The matchmaker being
fond Of q Joke, managed, while the
lady was waiting for his wife, to set
the alarm of the clock at the hour
when the train was timed to be at the
frontier st alton SesnOwice, and then
handed it to be fastened be-
meath his customers dress. Well con-
tent with her bargain the lady went
OF, arrived at thefrontier, and passed
the Customs easily; but just as she
was again stepping into The railway
carriage an awful noise burst FORTH
which quickly caught the attention OF
the officers. The lady had to dis
mount, amidst the laughter of the
