HITHERTO Delaware has monopolized
the unenviable notoriety and discredit
connected with the whipping post, and
the barbaric relic seems to be still firmly
established therein. Philadelphia Tele-
graph.
To whom does the unenviable noto-
rlety and discredit connected with the
whipping post attach? To the negro
who steals and 20 the man who whips his
wifel Why Is it any more honorable and
creditable TO lauguish in prison, at the
expense of the people, who are the victims
of the crime than TO be whippedl Are
you not foolishly sentimental and hys.
terically sympathetic. Delaware does not
propose to make pets and heroes Of Grim
inals, but to whip them into good be-
havior What is wrong in whipping a
man who cannot keep his hands oil Of
other peoples chickens2 What is wrong
In whipping man who whips his wifel
Why Is 1t more honorable to imprison
such criminals2 II more honorable why
should such criminals be honored2

THE Chester Times is one Of the Penn
sylvania Republican papers which fre-
quently goes wild with Pecksniifian advice
TO Democrats Of this state and execrating
criticisms on the conduct of people in
other states. The Little Rock Gazette,
of Arkansas. has advised these Pennsyl-
vania pharisees "to sweep before their
own doors" There is no dirth Of evi-
dence that this advice is needed Here is
the evidence Of the Chester Times itself
concerning the corruptions Of elections
in Delaware county (Pa.) alone
Still, we agree with the American-the
illegal use Of money should be stopped.
It is so notoriously bad in some election
districts 10 this county that an honest
candidate never figures ON those districts
in his calculations, for IL is a matter Of
common report that the man with the
longest purse gets them every time.

Wa knew it. We said SO. The Re.

cause the tolls Of the Western Union

One sorrow-strieken organ of monopoly
mentions the fact that the Western Union
sent dispatches to Johnstown free, and
propounds the chestnut, Have corpo.

notg There is no great credit in that.
It vas a duty to humanity. But the
Western Union is rich corporation-it
Is something like trust-hence these

SOME Of the supreme saints Of the Sal
vation Army went to prison in Quincey
Mass, rather than pay fine for parad-
ing on the streets without a license. This
action has provoked a discussion Of the
rights of passengers to the use of the
highways. The English courts decided
the question in favor Of the Salvation
Army when the mayors of the cities tried
10 suppress them there. AS a general
proposition, every man has the right to
the free use Of the highways and fifty
men have the same rights there as one
man. The rights Of private ownership
are conceded by mankind on the condi-
tion that highways are made.
The rights of the people on
this planet are not 10 be made subser-
Went to the rights Of the people who
own town lots In fact the latter are
held in severalty on the condition that
mankind shall be embarrassed as little as
possible in its passage on legitimate
errands. One man or two men do not
make procession and they may proceed
at perfect liberty through the streets,
but six men and drum make a process
sion which is looked upon with universal
disfavor and is frequently stopped by
the authorities. The right Of two men
OF six men, or fifty men, to walk along
the street is not disputed, but the
right Of one man or fifty men to obstruct
the passage in the streets or to
become a noise nuisance is dis
puted and properly. This view
need not necessarily involve pre-.
judice agRints the Salvation Army, the
drum corps, or any other abombinatior
that will frighten horses, make women
faint and congregate an aggregation OF
irrepressible small boys. The objection
to these parades is perfectly tenable Il
they simply obstr uct the easy and saf,
passage OF other people along the high
ways. That is the objection TO an ordi
nary parade of decent and orderly citizens
But the noises and the ugliness Of th,
Salvation Army and the drum corps ar,
intense additional aggravations and tn,
mayors are expected to sbate them as
nuisances. II it becomes necessary as IL
Quincy, Mass, to imprison them it 4
very sad but the public will try to endur
the grief II the saints win insist on tn
glory of that sort Of martyrdom.

rope was readiusted and the trap was

THE announcement from Pittsburg
that Senator Quay is seeking the nom
ination for the Presidency is not surpris
ing. There is no reason why Senator
Quay should not be the candidate Of his
party because he represents all that is
prominent and bad in the degenerate Or
ganization. He is Pennsylvania pro
tectlonist, he knows how to gather and
to use doodle, he is thorough spoils-
man and political trader He is cool,
silent, self complacent, calculating and
determined. He is unscrupulous. He
can use Dudley, Clarkson and Davenport
while he is bullying Blaine. He has no
theories Of government, no recommends
tions for reform, no promises for any
change to the advantage Of the people.
He will employ orators to cajole or de-
ceive any and every class. He win send
representatives TO make a platform that
will make contradictory and impossible
promises and appoint speakers
to say one thing to seduce the Western
farmers and other things to excite the
Eastern South hating fanatics Heawill
be all things TO all meE and nothing to

publican party represents now 'protec-

report comes to rs by way of Zanzi-

enormous quantity of ivory. when they

nonnced uncertain.
We are not disposed to give too much
credit to this report. The fate of Stanley
aud the fate Of Emin and the probable
whereabouts Of the one and the other have
been so long and so much talked about that
rumors and reports are often no better
Than the fruit OF conjecture. At the same
time We are not permitted to doubt that
both these men, u they could leave Africa
personally satisfied, are willing to come
home.

Hut both Emin and Stanley have one tie

wealth In the shape OF ivory. and what
they want to do is to get it to the coast,
where 1t can be safely guarded and

man to leave these treasures behind him,
unless he Is compelled to do so. The re-
port, therefore, that the two men are
coming down the coast Ia the crcum-
