FREELAND, PA, MAY 20, 1898.

That bright and well-edited little
monthly, orr Dumb AnjmalS, which
"speaks for those that cannot speak
for themselves" makes an earnest
and timely plea against proposed
race of cowboys to take place next
month from Chadron, Nebraska, to
Chicago, ILL.,, distance of over seven
hundred miles. 1t is not against
horse racing that the editor protests,
but against the barbarous regulations
that are TO govern the contest. Each
participant in the race is allowed
only two horses for the entire dis
tance, and as the first prize is 81, 800
it may be taken for granted that the
riders will not spare the beasts carry
ing them. The results of these feats
of endurance may be interesting in
compiling statistics of phenomenal
riding, but if the lives of horses must
be sacrificed to obtain statistics or to
add to the features of the Worlds
fair that part of the programme
could be dispensed with and no one
who sympathizes with dumb animals
would regret it.

Punishing Children.

The change that is gradually taking
place in regard to the discipline for con-
victs suggests that the same humane
ideas should also be applied by parents
to the rearing of children. If civilization
means anything at all, it means emanci-
patton from the thralldom of brute pas
sions and instincts. The true system for
the treatment of the criminal is to con-
fine him where he can do no more wrong,
but while he is confined teach him that
it really pays better not to do wrong. In
q word, not punishment, but reform.
The recent killing of her son by Phil
adelphia woman in fit of unControl-
liable rage is the darkest tragedy that has
stained the history of motherhood in
many a year. She had been used to CIV
ing way to outbursts Of passion toward
her child. She had made no attempt 10
control or correct the habit, until in
moment of insane fury she stabbed him
to the heart. If the story of cruelties in
hicted on helpless children by their own
parents could be written, the tale would
be more appalling than the martyrdom
of the ancient Christians. In the wards
of children's hospitals you find little
crippled victims of parental frenzy, on
the streets you find them, and even in
respectable homes, so called, are often
times frail infants with ghastly cuts and
black and blue bruises upon their tender
flesh.
1t is monstrous. Parents delude them
selves with the idea that they are pun
ishing their children when they are only
gratifying their own ferocious rage and
revenge. The children are in turn brut-
allied and debased In turn they will
beat those among their playmates who
are weaker than they. They will tor
ture animals. There have been instances
lately where children have been muir
dered by other young ones. How else
could it be when the example of beating
and bloodthirstiness is set them by their
own mothers and fathers?
AS the race moves ON to higher, finer
development the murder and torture of
the innocents will cease. Children do
not need to be punished for wrongdo-
ing. They need to be shown what is
the best way, and they will walk in it,
no fear. The mother and father with
brains will never need to beat children.
Children must obey parents, but where
the parents are wise and kind and loving
and reasonable they need only be firm to
bring any child to time. There is no
surer test of the amount of brain and
heart possessed by parent and teacher
than the ability to control children with
out beating them.
The grim old doctrine about sparing
the rod and spelling the child must take
its place with the kindred opinions that
burned witches and hanged Quakers.
When the world comes to be truly civil
lized, nothing among the enormities of its
dark ages will fill the beautiful new
time people with more horror and in
dignation than the ancient practice Of
whipping children. The whipping post
for criminals was given up long ago ev-
erywhere but in Delaware, and in Mary
land for wife beaters only. Why should
we retain the whipping post for our own
children?

Throughout the greater portion of
the United States tomorrow the sur
viyors of the great civil war will meet
again to pay their annual tribute to
the memory of those who stood
shoulder to shonlder with them in
that terrible conflict. The becoming
manner which the veterans have
adopted to refresh the minds of too
neglectful public is one that of itself
appeals to all. The pretty custom of
strewing their comrades graves with
flowers and flags could not be sur
passed and still retain the simplicity
and unpretentiousness that naturally
follows. The "old soldiers" tomorrow
deserve the aid and assistance of
every citizen in carrying out the
Memorial Day order of exercises, for
they will soon be numbered with the
majority. Now is the time to show
appreciation of the bravery and valor
displayed in defense of the starry
banner and the union. Don't delay
until these men who have sacrificed
so much have passed beyond the
sound of your praise. A kind word
tomorrow will count more to them
than monument when they are
sleeping in the bosom of the earth.

Since the Franco-Prussian war in 1870
progress has been steadily made in the
breeding and training of carrier pigeons
for military use. There are times when
neither railways nor telegraphs serve to
convey urgent messages from one COM
mander to another or to the home gov
ernment For that purpose nothing has
been so successful as carrier pigeons
Germany has been especially progress
sive in developing this branch of her
military service. The German emperor
sent back the homing birds with mes
sages to his empress from time to time
during his famous visit to England in his
own yacht. The French naval vessels
carry birds for sea service, and now the
officers of American warships are taking
the matter up and training birds success
fully. Several messages were sent lately
from our fleet off Fortress Monroe to
New York and Washington by this
an hour, The message is written upon
tissue paper and tied by silken thread
to the pigeons leg or underneath its
wing. In some instances the message,
after it has been written, is photographed
in greatly reduced size upon thin COLO
dion film, and this substance is used in
stead of the tissue paper, A magnifying
glass is in such cases necessary to de-
cipher the writing. The French declare
that the swallow is superiora as messen-
ger bird to the pigeon-that it is capable
of longer, swifter flights. If now some
experts could only break in the English
sparrow to do the work of carrier pi-
geon, how happy we should all bel

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. D. c.. MAY 2G.

Washington, ID. c., May 26.
Men and brethren, hear we all This
administration is going to be Democratic,
in fact as well as in name. The over
whelming verdict of the people is to be
obeyed, and no Republican is to be left
in place of responsibility. The pace
towards this goal has not been precpi-
tate, but it has been and will be steady
and sure until it is reached. Secretary
Gresham took the lead, and there isn't
more than one or two Republicans left
in important positions in the state de-
partment. Secretary Carlisle is good
second, and it will not be long before all
of the chiefs of divisions of the treasury
department will be Democrats. Secre-
tary Smith has begun to call for the re-
signations of the Republican chiefs of
divisions in the interior department and
he proposes to keep it up until they are
all out. Secretary Morton has not been
behind in proportion to the size of his
department. Postmaster General Bis
sell has had to devote so much time to
the selection of postmasters that he
hasn't made very many changes in his
department, but he will, as will Attorney
General Olney and Secretaries Lamont
and Herbert.

Some newspapers are trying to find
reason why the Jews do not mingle So
cially with Christians, as members of
different churches among Protestants or
even as Catholics and Protestants do.
Some are inclined to attribute it to pref
udice against the Jews on the part of
Christians The reason is very easy to
find, and it is in the Jews themselves,
not in the Christians. Hebrews remain
apart from other races because they
choose to have it so themselves. They
are proud of their ancient blood, proud
of their religious and social customs. If
they mingled with other races and inter
married, they assert that the Jewish dis
tinctiveness would be lost. And so it
would. The Jews stand off from the

The impression prevailing since

to renew acquaintances of their
younger days and to see their native
lands might be excused, but when
people go there for fashions sake
before they have viewed the grandeur
of this continent and are unable to

merous attractions here they set
themselves down as belonging to that
class which should go to Europe, bag

Much more or less silly talk has been
INDUCED in this week about the proba-
bility of war with China because of
the supreme court having declared the
Geary law constitutional. Needless to
say neither the president nor Secretary
Gresham have the remotest idea that
there will be any serious trouble with
China. The Chinese minister told Secre-
tary Gresham that his government
would not take any retaliatory steps,
and that it would, as far as possible,
protect Americans in China from any
attack which the ignorant natives might
| be disposed to make upon them. The
Geary law will be enforced by the ad-
mlnistration to as great an extent as pos
sible with the means at its command,
but the lack of sufficient appropriation
to pay for their transportation makes it
probable that no Chinese will be return
ed to China until congress shall have
decided whether it will appropriate the
large amount that will be needed
S6,0O0,000 is the estimate-to send the
more than 100000 who failed to register
in accordance with the Geary act back
to China, or modify the law so as to al
low those who are now in the United
States to remain. Many congressman
who voted for the Geary act have an
nounced their willingness to vote for an
amendment to allow the Chinese now
here to stay, in preference to appropri-
atlng the money necessary to send them
to China.

Judge Lochren believes he will kill
one of the principal roots of the pension
evil by making the medical boards
which examine applicants for pensions
entirely Democratic, instead of allowing
one Republican on each board of three
as has been done. Speaking of this
change he is quoted as saying: zone of
the things the Democrats have COM
mitted themselves to do is to sift as far
as possible the rubbish which has been
drifting into this pension cesspool. The
party has committed itself to reform in
this matter, and there is no better way
to make start than by having only
Democrats on these boards" l do not

such radical change would have been
announced by him unless it had been
previously approved by the president.
