The IamR Case.

Il is highly probable that the Pennsyl-
vania courts will render such decision In
the Iams case as will have the effect OF put
ting an end to such punishnents In the
military organizations Of the differ
ent states as that which was inflicted
upon Private Iams Of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania at Homestead.
Some military men and a few news
papers have sustained the officers who or
dered and approved the stringing up OF
Iams by the thumbs and the shaving Of one
half Of his head. but as a general thing the
action Of the officers has been condemned.
One Of those who have expressed an opin-
ion OF the punishment inflicted upon Private
Iams is Maj. Gen. Howard Of the army,
who commands the department Of the east.
In a recent letter he holds that the offense
was one that ought to have been dealt with
promptly by court martial.
The aim, he says, should be to intict only
such punishments as do not have tendency
to weaken the self-respect Of those who are
punished. "Ordinary humanity" says
Gen. Howard, las a general rule, makes a
soldier solicitous to reach his ends with the
AodSN pDoblOAo AIAlItAOu Va CCAAAJ NNA 49,
He is opposed to the use Of the ball and
chain, except in aggravated cases, and he
does rot think that branding with red-hot
iron, or marking with indelible ink, should
be countenanced, because such puuishments
are against public policy and opposed to
the dictates OF humanity, and consequently
are not conducive to the interests OF the
service"
Gen. Howard also thinks that drumming
out OF camp ought not to be resorted to ex-
cept in extreme cases, because sit involves
degree Of degradation ordinarily uncalled
for"
In the opinion of Gen. Howard "all mill
tary duty is to be regarded as Of an honor
able character, and any form Of discipline
which tends to lower that character ia inn
proper and should be discountenanced"
Before the Iams case has been finally dis
posed of the question of what are proper
punishments for the various offenses COM
mitted by soldiers will be very generally dis
cussed, and the discussion will not be with
out benefit The tendency is, no doubt, to do
away with all punishments which are cruel
and unusual and which involve torture, and
to substitute for them punishments which
do not tend to lessen self-respect.

We left Manchester the county seat Of Clay,

writer in the New York Herald After proceed
Ing some distance the heat became oppressive.
Hating under the shade Of a friendly tree we
dismounted and threw ourselves upon the
ground for short rest. We had not been there
long before we observed an old forester, seated
In breakdown wagon, driving leisurely down
the road.
With the customary politeness Of people in
these parts as he reached US he said
"Mornin', suhs.n

Anarchistic Newspapers.

The district attorney Of the city of New
that state for the punishment of anarchistic
editors for their newspaper utterances,
however violent those utteranoes may be.
He had under consideration The advisability
Of presenting to the grand jury Editor John
Most Of the Frieheit and Editor Carl Masur
Of the Anarchist, who have published iu-
cendiary articles upon the Homestead
troubles. One Of the editorial articles pub
lished by Most's paper-one Of the mild
ones, by the way-oontains the following:
What TRANSFERRED on July at Homestead
will SOME day transpire everywhere. Then
the power of capitalism will simply be
brought to an end. That is our consolation
and our hope. Whatever may be
the end Of the present doings at Homestead,
one thing is certain, they will assist i'm
mensely in causing the proletariat, near and
far to arm itself more extensively, and to
do 80 as expeditiously and efficiently as pos
slble. That is the principal thing"
II the sentiments which these anarchists
published in their papers had been uttered
by them at public meeting, District At
torneY Nicoll says, they could have been
indicted under the act against unlawful
assemblies, but the act says nothing about
unlawful editorial utterances. aud the dis
trict attorney is of the opinion that the law
cannot be stretched to fit the case.
This is a matter Ia which the country at
large Is interested. The New York Herald
published recently an article containing In
brief the views of number OF prominent
editors in New York. Washington, Chicago
and other large cities. on anarchistic liter
ature, showing that the Interest is general
While there were but few plain utterances
calling for the suppression of anarchistic
literature and offering suggestions as to the
means 70 be employed to suppress 1t, the
evil effect of such literature was recognized
and commented upon by the editors In a
way TO show that it only needs for the ball
to be set rolling to institute a movements
that will shut up the printing office Of every
anarchistic newspaper in this country.
When newspapers that inclte to murder,
arson and other acts OF violence are under
| discussion, 1t is no time to talk about the
liberty of the press" Such papers and
their editors are the avowed enemies OF law
and society aud should be dealt with as
such. They contemplate unlawful acts and
advise their contamination. Should a pos
licemaa discover footpad lurking in a
dark nook with sandbag, awaiting vic
tim, he would not wait for him TO commit
some overt act, but would arrest him. The
footpad would probably think the police
man acted in tyrannical manner, but So
ciety would approve of the act. The analogy
between the footpad and the anarchist
editor is only slight, however. OF the two
the anarchist is by far the more dangerous,
because he seeks TO destroy organized So
oiety.

Capt. A. f. Hunt, commanding Battery
f, at Homestead, has written O letter to a
New Hampshire newspaper in which he as
serts that Private Iams' punishment by
order Of Col. Streator Was not unjustiAable
and brutal. He says that after Iams had
been suspended five minutes be asked for a
chew Of tobacco, which he purposely swal-
lowed, and that when be was let down he
was suffering from nausea caused by the
tobacco, and not from the stringinR-up. II
Capt. Hunt had told that story earlier it
would have found more believers than IL
will at this late day.

Jesse James was shot, for the purpose Of re-

would it not be better to secure one of the

have a realistic performance, like Buffalo

the Seventh district on the third party
ticket. For some time various persons and
