very different affair; in ancient French
law disgraceful punishment, inflicted
for the most part on offenders against
public decency. The offender was
stripped to his shirt; when the hangman
put rope about his neck and taper IN
his hand, and then led him to the court,
where the culprit asked pardon OF God

reintroduced in cases of sacrilege in 1926

The most ridiculous of many ridicu-
lous claims put in for the Democratic
victory is that it is triumph of democ-
racy over plutocaoy. The controll-
ing wing of the Democratic party is now
and ever has been the party of aristoc-
racy. 1t sneered at, 'derided and hated
the free labor of the North before the
war and it hates 1t now. Iu every state
which it controls the governm emit is in
the hands of few, and nothing which
fraud and force can do to keep it there
is left undone. At the North to be sure
a great many laboring men vote the
Democratic ticket but the leaders and
the bosses are allrich. Whitney, Croker,
Brice are all millionaires, and even the
candidate himself was well up on the list
of plutocrats. Who is it that steps for
ward to claim the senatorship of Wiscon-
sin, which the alleged party of the
poor has just carried? Is it poor man9
By no means. 1t is the richest man in
the state. Now that election is over the
Democrats can afford to stop their nom
sense about plutocrats.

The dictum of the royal Israelic
preacher, that there is nothing new I'M
der the sun, receives another illustra-
ton in foot-note to one of the pages of
Austin Dobon's Eighteenth Century
Vignettes, just published, in which the
grippe and its microbe are mentioned,
though not under the names familiar to
us. Moritz, German making the tour
of England in 1882, writes, from London,
'sThat same Influenza, which I left at
Berlin, II have had the hard fortune
again to find here; and many people die
of it." Elsewhere he says that Katter-
field, the Prussian quack whom Cowper
immortalized, attributed the epidemic to
a minute insect, against which he pro-
fessed to protect his patients. Horace
Walpole's correspondence, quoted by
Dobson, contains reference to the same
disease. 1t was, he writes, universal"
but mot lasting" "The strangest part
of It," he tells Mann in June. lis that.

A question of veracity has arisen be-
tween that distinguished Mugwump and
free trader, Mr.. Thomas G.. Shearman on
the one side, and Lieut.. Gov Sheehan,
Boss Croker and Mr. Edward Murphy,
Jr., on theother. The party of the first
part affirms that the Hon. Grover Cleve-
land said that he would be damned be-
fore he would make any pledges to Tam
many. The party of the second part
says there is no truth whatever in Mr..
Shearman' S statement. The party of the
first part consists of one, the party of
the second part of three. There is a pre-
ponderance of numbers obviously in
favor of the latter, but that ought not to
of the second part are all wicked men,
while the man of the party of the first
part is of the salt of the earth, being a
Mugwump. There are, however, some
other things that make in favor of the
party of the second part. The good
man was not at the conference where the
Hon. Grover Cleveland is alleged to have
used the wicked word, while the men of
sin were. The good mau therefore could
have no personal knowledge of what Mr..
Cleveland said or did not say, while the
men of sin must know all about it. Fur
thermore there is circumstantial evil
dence to support the party of the second
part. Tammany worked for Cleveland
as it never did before. Does anybody
believe that would have been the case if
Mr.. Cleveland had used the language to
it's Boss which Mr.. Shearman alleges.
Mr.. Shearman must have been misin-
formed.

The Portland Herald appears to view
with alarm report which has come to
it's ears that the apothecaries of this city
have employed an able lawyer to advo-
cate before the legislature change in
the prohibitory law which shall give
them the right to sell liquor for medici
nal purposes. We do not know whether
the story is true or not but assuming it
to be true, there is no reason for alarm
about it. 1t is perfectly proper pro-
ceeding. Any citizen or combination of
citizens has clear right to hire law
yer to advocate measure before the
legislature. It is a perfectly manly and
honorable course to pursue. For our
part we hope the report is true, and that
the legislature will hear the lawyers ar
gument without prejudice. The present
method of dispensing liquors by means
of town agencies has proved entirely I'M
satisfactory. In the cities at least these
agencies have degenerated into common
rumshops, not any better because they
have thrown around them the sanction
of the law. If there is better way for
dispensing liquors for legitimate pur-
poses, we hope the legislature will seek
for it and find it, There is not much
danger of getting anything worse or more
demoralizin than the present system
has proved in practice.

Before election Senator Vest was one
of the fercest of the tariff reformers,
He could roll out phrases about the
s'robber tariff on par with the gallant
Col. Watterson of Kentucky. But the
opportunity to put his theories into
practice has sobered him. Caution and
uncertainty have takensthe place of cour-
age and positiveness. He no longer talks
like man that.knows it all. He has dis
covered that it won't do to go slashing
about among the protected industries of
the country. Of course he still processes
that he means free trade and that he is
going to have it some day, but the snail
like pace which he proposes makes
it pretty certain that the goal will not be
arrived at during his life time, though
he live to the age of Methuseiah.

If as our free trade friends have been
telling us protection is robbery and the
Mckinley bill device by which the rich
have been enabled to plumber the poor,
it is little strange that there is so much
hesitation among them as to its repeal.
One would suppose if they believed what
they have been saying that the Mckinley
law would be repealed at the earliest
possible moment and that there would
be no difference of opinion as to the adj
visibility of an extra session. Certainly
If wholesale robbery has been going on
under the form of law the triumphant
Democracy should stop it right off, tear
it up root and branch. Instead of that
they manifest disposition to let the
robbery 60 on unrebuked for at least
year, and meanwhile they are going to
send a commission out to interview the
robbers and see if some compromise can
not be arrived at by which the robbers
will be permitted to continue to TO b but
not quite SO freely.
