THE Lafayette Journal thinks that Presi-
dent HARRISON deserves credit for appoint
ing, in most instances, residents of ter
ritories to territorial positions, and that
President CLEVELAND, in appointing non
residents to these positions, did wrong"
Results will show. President CLEVELAND
appointed non-residents in order TO get
men who were not identified with the ter
ritorial rings, and, by so doing, accom-
plished a great deal of good. If he had
gone to the territories for his judges, land
agents, surveyors. etc, the rings would
doubtless have had full swing during the
last four years. as they had had for many
years before. Most of President HARRI-
SONS territorial appointees are notorious
jobbers. They are up to their eyes in
land-grabbing and other corrupt schemes,
and the territories viii probably be prolific
in official scandals during the next four
years.

THE New York Commercial Bulletin, a
non bipartisan commercial and financial
journal, says
Treasury operations thus far under the new
administration have shown no i'm portant de-
parture from the methods previously followed
in the treatment of the surplus, the deposit
aries or in bond buying.
How is this? Did not HARRISON, BLAINE
and the rest fiercely denounce the fnan-
cial policy of the Cleveland administra-
tion2 Did not they condemn it for de-
posting surplus moneys in national banks
and for refusing to buy bonds at any prices
the holders might ask? Why does Mr..
HARRISON pursue the same policy which
he so fiercelv denounced Mr. CLEVELAND
for carrying out? The 'inspined organ"
ought TO explain.

A Relic of Rarbarism.

The annual report of the superinten-
dent OF public schools in Boston shows
that there were 1866 hoggings in these
institutions during the last school year.
In 1882 the number was only 1874; in
1856 it had increased TO II $50; but last
year all previous records in this line were
beaten.
We 'have no hesitation in saying that
this showing is in the last degree dis
graceful 10 the modern Athens" Supt.
SEANER himself, while not going TO the ex-
tent OF advising the immediate and total
abolition of the use OF the rod in pedagogy.
declares that he ''deems the present use Of
it excessive, unreasonable and injurious,
amounting, in fact, to a gross abuse. J"
He might properly have characterized it
as a relic of Puritanical barbarism, for the
Puritan fathers of New England, with all
their splendid virtues, had a we'll defined
strain of barbarism.
The fogging of children in our public
schools is a gross anachronism. Wher-
ever it has been prohibited, good results
have followed. 1t is not permitted in the
public schools of New York, Philadelphia
or Chicago, or in the schools of New Jer-
sey. There is no disposition in these cities
or in that state to return to the old sys-
tenn. Scholars and schools thrive better
under the humane system than they did
under the barbarous one.
Boston ought to reform this gross abuse
altogether" and so, we may add, should
Indianapolis. For it is still practiced in
our public schools, mores the shame!

THE Illinois legislature is at present
wrestling with an anti-food adulteration
bill. The following section viii give our
readers an idea ofthe scope ofthe measure:
That it shall be unlawful for any person,
company or corporation, or any manager,
agent or emptOye OF any person, company, or
corporation in this state, to manufacture or
cause TO be manufactured, or to sell or offer
for sale any food products, such as butter,
cheese, flour, sugar, spices, or other articles
calculated or intended TO be used as food,
which shall be adulterated mixed with any
foreign or deleterious substance not necessary
IN the manufacture OF such article or rendering
the same IN any degree impure or unlCbOtes0Dle.
One would think that this was step in
the right direction, but an esteemed Chi
cago contemporary detects sheer abb
surdity" or reckless mischief in the
trainers of the bill which manifests itself
more clearly in the next section, that de-
clares that lit shall be unlawful to mix,
compound, or sell any food product al
ready manufactured which shall not be
absolutely free from all impurities or
authorizations" This, it is argued, is
aimed at oleomargsrine as a butter adj
mixture, at chicory in coffee and other
flavoring and cheapening substances, and
the conclusion is that selling cheap food
products is good thing to those who
cannot afford the best grades of Jersey
butter, Mocha coffee and pure olive oil,
and that the public is sufficiently pro-
tected when adulterated articles are SO
branded or labeled that anyone purchas-
ing NAV know Just what the article is.

The Tarrfr and the Irvine Trust.

SENATOR ALLISON, in recent interview
on the twine trust, said:
We have inserted clause in our tariff bill
permitting the raw material to be imported
into this country free of duty. This will re-
duce the cost to the manufacturers SIS per tor.
There is no sense In charging duty on sisal,
and when it has been placed on the free list
there should be a corresponding reduction IN
price to the consumers The same bill will put
a duty of X cents per pound the manu-
featured Irvine, and will give, think, suitable
protection to our home industries.
The domestic industry TO which SEN
ator ALLIsoN's bill affords suitable pro-
lection" is the Irvine trust Putting sisal
on the free list merely gives the trust its
raw material free, without in any way
benefting The consumers. The duty on
the Irvine enables the trust TO retain its
monopoly of the American market.
The passage of his ubiquitous bill would
simply strengthen the grip OF the Irvine
trust on the farmers of the country. The
only way to relieve them is to put Irvine
on the free list but as that would break
up the trust, it will never be done so long
as Senator ALLIsoN's party can prevent it..

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 10 Assistant
Secretary Bussey, in deciding the pension
Slain OF Daniel B Kaufman, Pennsyl-
vania veteran, has rescinded rule made by
Commissioner Black in September, ISIS, and
ans overruled the opinion of Assistant Sec
retary Hawkins, which Affirmed the rule
that "a dishonorable discharge from the
service operated as "a bar to pen
SION" Assistant Secretary Bussev holds
that tue rule rescinded was an erroneous in
depreciation of the statute granting pensions
Tor disabilities incurred in the line OF duty,
and declares that the character of a soldiers
discharge can not affsct his claim for pen
ion ON account Of his disabilities.
Reasons for the Opinion.
He holds that a dishonorable discharge is a
senalty for a specific offsnse against the
service for which the soldier may he pun
tshed, but that the penalty can not include,
nor relate tn, claim for PEN
sion, based upon disability. The two things
are held to be wholly distinct from each
other, and not governed by the same legal
,onsidera tions. In support of his de-
,ision Mr.. Bussey quotes Secretary De-
lano and the late Judge Advocate
General Holt. The opinion re-establishes the
,uling Of the department which prevailed
consistently through all prior Republican
admins tratious.

lance.
LONDON, Aug. 20.-England is still anx-
iously awaiting the queens decision in the
case of Mrs. Maybrick, who is under sem
tence of death at Liverpool and has but one
moro week to live unless her majesty shall
interpose a reprieve or pardon. Sunday
night an official, whose predictions are usu-
ally accepted without question, asserted that
full pardon would be issued by the queen
yesterday, but up to late hour last night
no decision had been announced. Though
the case has been laid before her maj sty
with the Recommendation of Home Secre-
rotary Matthews that royal clemency be
granted, petitions are still being circulated
and sent direct to the queen in hopes that
they may at the last moment turn the scale
in favor of the condemned woman. TIE de-
lay in reaching conclusion is considered
favorable to Mrs. Maybrick. 1t is thought
the queen is endeavOring to frame pardon
in such terms as to save the woman's life
without undue reflection ON Judge Stephen.
The Chaplain Is for Mercy.
The opinion of Chaplain Wynne, of the
Liverpool prison, will doubtless have great
weight with the queen, as he was formerly q
tutor IN the family of the Prince of Wales
and is regarded an exemplary man, upon
whose judgment the utmost reliance may be
placed. Mr.. Wyhne was fully convted of
Mrs Maybrick's guilt, and in his capacity of
spiritual adviser earnestly besought her to
make unreserved confession of her sup
posed crime. Denials we're expected, for they
are usually made even by the BLACKLIST crimi-
mails until all hope of mercy is gone, but
when she related circumstances which under
the laws of England could not be admitted
In evidence at the trial, the ctaplain's belief
underwent a complete change, and he has
since been one of the most earnest advocates
of mercy. As a mere question OF humanity
the impression prevails that the queens de-
cision must be made known to-day at the
latest-to end Mrs Maybrick's sufferings if
pardon is 10 be granted, or if the sentence
of death Is TO be executed next Monday, to
give her an opportunity to prepare for the

Morrison and Palmer.

Some political busy bodies have been
spreading the report that Col. W. r.
Morrison had his eye on the U. s. senate
in case the next state Legislature should
be democratic, as II is very liable to be.
Several months ago Col. Morrison wrote
from Washington that he was perfectly
willing that Gen. Palmer should have the
leadership Of the Illinois democracy uns
contested: that when he was TO the front
Palmer recognized the fact and now he
was willing to return the compliment.
Col. Morrison further shows his mag
unanimous spirit in the following dis
patch TO the Chicago Herald:
SPRINGFIELD, Aug 1S-Colonel W &.
X. Morrison spent the day in this city and
was called on by quite number of his
old personal aud political friends. In
conversation with some Of these he ex-
pressed himself as favorable to the prop
osition to make General John NJ. Palmer
the candidate Of his party for the United
States senate. and declared that be would
do what he could to push forward such a
movement TO success. This ought to set
at rest a rumor that obtained to some exS
tent that the colonel was here TO head of
the Palmer boom. The fact is, he was
passing through the city on his way home
TO Waterloo and stopped to see few old
friends.
Col. Morrison is too broad and liberal
a man to play the dog in the manger act
His Office as interstate railway commits
sioner precludes his active participation
in politics, but should he again desire to
do so. he will have no trouble in assum>
ing his old position in the state democ-
rscy.

LONDON Aug. 20.-Ten thousand striking
dock laborers paraded the streets of London
yesterday, marching from their homes in the
East Enc under the leadership of the Socialist
agitators Burns AMI Champion. They car
ried no banners, but the bare poles decorated
with strings of red herrings and crusts Of
stale bread were far more eloquent of the
distress and suffering they wished the we'll
TODD of London to note.
The demonstration passed off without the
slightest disturbance, although early in the
day a rumor that the police would interfere
with the procession caused many angry ut
terances of defiance and threats OF VIOLENCE
The police. however, did not interfere and
disclaim any such intention, and the affair
passed off very quietly, the strikers at the
conclusion of their parade PEACEFULLY dis
banding and going to their homes.
