his own State, he appears 10 nave uu-
come embittered, and he is now proba-
bly, the only man possessed Of repu-
tation who would attempt to lead tho
faction in the Senate that is seeking TO
force the passage Of such q measure.
Mr.. Hoar's argument was not only weak,
but 1t was weakly put, and utterly failed
to hold the attention Of the large audi.
ence that had gathered to hear MIN.
The fact that the State once repre-.
sented by Webster, and afterward by
Sumner and Wilson, should now be
represented in the Senate by Dawes
and Hoar, is one of the worst signs Of
the degeneracy brought about by mar
row partisanship. Mr.. Hoar has never
been noted for any high order Of in
tellectual ability. He is querulous
and somewhat ridiculous person, whose
appearance naturally suggests to the
caricaturist the feminine night cap in
which the Senator usually figures in
the cartoons. There was nothing to be
said for him except that he was emf
nently respectable and not likely to be
carried away by wild crazes or to be-
come the tool Of corruptionists. Since
this can no longer be said tho humilia-
tion Of Massachusetts, is complete.
As an argument in favor Of the force
bill, Mr.. Hoar's speech amounted to
actually nothing. 1t was repetition
of the old cries Of fraud without even
an attempt to show that the pending
measure can accomplish any thing
where similar measures had utterly
failed in the past. It probably changed
the opinion Of no living man, and its
only possible influence is that on Mr..
Hoar's reputation already referred to. =

The law Of Georgia permits married
women to have the same property rights

married woman's property clause in the
constitution since just after the war,
but its meaning has never been exactly
settled. There was no doubt that any
property which had belonged to q wom-
her by gift or inheritance afterward,
was hers, to control or dispose Of as she
pleased; but whether after marriage
women could buy property, mako con-
tracts, and do business in their own
right was the question. The Supreme

fore tho law in this respect.-Spring-

M'klNLEY AND MILLS.
Facts Which the Republican Orgas
Grinders Should Not Forget.

Facts Which the Republican Organ
Grinders Should Not Forget.
Republican journalists should take
few lessons from the exemplars Of plan
tation manners in the South. The
treatment, for instance, of Mr.. Mills by
the average journalist of the North Is .
discredit not to Mr.. Mills but to North
ern journalism. Take, for instance, the
following paragraph from reputable
Brooklyn paper:
The wanderings OF Mr.. Mills, OF Texas, on
the stump preaching what he Is pleased to
term tarin reform and paying thrilling tribute
to Columbia while he denounces the force bill
are, II considered from the humorous stand
point, funny. But he is . very serious man.
There Is reason to believe that he believes in
himself great deal, and has not faith that the
country can get along without him. Mr.. Mills
must have something large concealed In the
back parlor OF his mind"
The Democratic party has nothing to
be ashamed Of in having chosen Mr..
Mills as chairman of the ways and
means committee. The measure which
he introduced and the methods by
which that bill was advocated, ex-
planned and defended suffer at no point
in comparison with the record made by
the Republicans in dealing with the
same subject under the direction OF Mr..
Mckinley, OF Ohio.
The Mills bill united the Democratic
party. The Mckinley bill divided the
Republican party.
The Mills bill reduced taxation; the
Mckinley bill increases taxation.
The Mills bill was drawn in behalf Of
the masses; the Mckinley bill is bill
for the exclusive benefit Of classes.
The Mills bill put binding twine and
cotton ties upon the free list; the Nc
Kinley bill taxes both Of these.
Tho Mills bill struck at the very prin-
ciple of trusts and com binations; the
Mckinley bill fosters trusts and subsi-
dies rings.
The Mills bill embodies the principles
of liberty Of action, liberty Of exchange,
and accords with the spirit of modern
life. The Mckinley bill is . reminis-
cence OF the Middle Ages and EN- bodies
all of the absurd restrictions and false
economic doctrines of the colonial sys-
TENS Of European Governments two,
three or four hundred years ago.
The people believe in Mills and in
the Mills bill. In his speeches in Con-
gress and IN his addresses throughout
the country, Mr.. Mills has shown him
self to te master Of his subject; earn
est, aggressive, but courteous and
thoroughly sincere.
Mr.. Mckinley palters in double
sense; his speeches lack force, distinct
ness and fairness. In dealing with his
subject tnefe is . narrowness of view,
bigotry. blindness that carries him,
his measures and his party to defeat
The Republican press can no longer
deceive the people in this respect. They
have tried to make great man Of Mr..
Mckinley and to belittle the character
and attainments of Mr.. Mills. But it is
beyond the power Of the press to make
great men. They come to the bar OF
public opinion to be judged and when
SO arraigned the Democrats may we'll be
satisfied with their champion.-Louis-

Thirty Lashes Given Prisoner In = lluobe,

Thirty Lashes Given = prisoner In = luebes
Penitentlary.
Within the past year the old-ume
mode of Furnishing certain class Of
criminals in Canada with the applica-
tion Of the lash has been rapidly re-
vived. The ST. Vincent de Paul peni-
tentiary, in the province of Quebec, was
tho scene Of q well-mcrited logging last
week, Two weeks ago one Joseph
Donnois, alias CURSOR. who has
been wandering around the coun-
try in the guise OF priest, was
sentenced, in accordance with the new
Dominion law, to two years in the
penitentiary and to receive thirty lashes
for annoying little girls. CURSOR is an
old offender, having received twenty
lashes in the Montreal Jail two years
ago for similar offense. The dOgging
was given with the greatest precision
and dispatch. After the days work was
over and the other convicts had re-
turned to their cells. the prison physi-
clan. accompanied by guards, went to
Curson's cell. and after examining him,
made written report that the prisoner
was in fit condition to receive the pun.
ishment Cursor maintained stolid
indifference as he was led forth to the
basement, where the flogging was to
take place.
Immediately after his arrival the
guards, keepers and officers to the num-
ber OF forty marched down to the base
ment where they formed three sides OF
square. Within the square stood
Warden Ouimet and the chief keeper.
The triangle to which Cursor was to bo
tied stood in the middle. After having
divested himself of his coat Cursor
stripped TO the waist, walked with firm
step to the triangle, to which he was
strapped by four guards. A stuffed
leather strap was then put around his
neck to protect it. At signal from
Deputy Warden Mccarthy the officer
who was appointed to infiict the punish
ment stepped forward, and, taking up the
catrO'-nine-tails, waited for the word.
In minute there was sound, and i'm
mediately afterward the nine knotted
ends lashed the white flesh. Cusson
never WINGED, but at the third blow he
groared piteously. and kept it up until
the end. When the end was reached
half of the back from between the
shoulders down was one mass OF
lacerated flesh. When he was un-
fastened from the triangle Cursor
walked over to the bench where his
clothes lay, and his back was covered
with . cloth saturated with salt and
| water. Cursor then dressed himself
and. accompanied by two guards.
walked firmly upstairs to his cell.-Ot
