seen the paper of Corea will appreciate
how easily this form of execution could be
carried out. 1t is made by hand. 1t is as
thick as a sheet of blotting paper and al
most as strong as leather. When moisture
Is applied to 1t 1t becomes exceedingly soft,
but does not lose it's strength, and 1t would
make an excellent molding material.
The Torture of Unfaithfuf Policemen.
1 was told of curious custom as to po-
liceme1 who make false arrests. They are
terribly punished, and IL something similar
was adopted as to our American sheriffs
there would be fewer mistakes made. The
Corean policeman Who arrests a man as a
thief wnen he knows him to be innocent is
liable to be caught by the mans family, and
his eyes may be burned out by them with
red-hot pokers. or iron chop-sticks which
have been heated in the Goals. His eyes have
not seen truly in arresting the wrong man,
and it is thought to be just that they be put
out. Another way of performing this pun
ishment Is by laying the policeman on the
ground with his face upward A tube of
bamboo, just about one inch in thickness
the eye, and the other end of 1t is pounded
with a mallet until the eyes are squeezed up
into the bamboo tubes. Such cases are not
common, but policeman who Intentionally
arrests an innocent man is liable to this
treatment.
A Family Buried Alive.
Among the most terrible of Corean crimes
are those against your parents or ancestors
There is prison in Seoul that is devoted
entirely to prisoners who commit crimes
against their parents. If d rich son refuses
to support his father he can be sent to jail
and the boy who strikes his father can be
whipped to death. The parricide is burned
to death, and it is in Corea much the same
as in China, where the killing of ones pa
rents subjects the child to be sliced into
thirty-odd pieces or carved up by inches.
/ heard of a curious case which happened
this spring in Corea, which shows the power
of the officials and the terrible vengeance
which they sometimes visit upon those
whom they hate. A certain magistrate had
his ancestral tablets stolen, an offense
somewhat similar to the stealing of a mans
grandfather's gravestone in America, but
really terrible thing in this superstitious
land of Corea. Shortly after the theft was
committed he received notice that If he
would go at certain time and leave a GER

which now exist. I have told you how the
body of the dead rebel, Kim Ok Kun, was
brought to COrea. how it was cut into six
pieces, and how the bloody head, the hands,
the feet and the trunk were carried over
the country and hung above the gates of the
cities as warning to rebels. Not only this
Nan himself was killed, but his whole
family and all of his relatives have been
terribly punished. His father did all h5
could to prevent his boy from rising against
the king ten years ago, and after his rebel
lion he went into retirement. He was old
and blind. but after Kim's death he was

PREVENT iSsuRREcrIoNs

On the great questions involved In the perennial struggle between organ ized capital and organized labor the only safe ground is that of the duty Of organized society-goyernment- to stand as mediator between the two, insisting upon peaceable settlements of all difficulties. This means arbltra- tsee in any and all cases. The greatest objections raised to arbitration by It's most conspicuous opponents in every instance, fail to point out any other means for remedying the evils from which the country has suffered and will repeatedly suffer so long as the present system continues. Neither side has absolute justice, and under free government there will be continued clashes. Every clash Is disastrous to other and greater interests so suffer- Ing 1t. Is the business Of government to intervene and protect from the disas- ter sd sure to follow without protec- tion, It is all very well and good to say that 1t is the duty of government to put down insurrection. That everyone knows. But it Is a higher and holier duty of government to prevent insur- rection by regulating conditions which experience has sadly taught the people generally lead up to insurection.

WHENEVER an American capitalist wants legislation favorable to his schemes he gets the necessary votes by losing at poker to number of sen ators and representatives. Whenever the same man wants to enter aristo- cratic society he goes over to England and loses at the same game with a duke. The latter phase of the same diversion requires fewer games but more money. There's no limit to the play.

TIE Rocky Mountain News asserts that MT. Cleveland's now fanious l5t- ter to MT. Wilson was framed with a deep intention of defeating any set clement now of the tariff question, with a hope of keeping that live is- sue in the politics of thecountry, with the president the logical candidate of the tariff reformers for reelection in 1896, If SO it was wonderfully long headed piece of business. But, if so, it is safe to say that Senator Hill has completely and effectively blocked the game. By supporting MT. Cleveland heartily and earnestly he demonstrates that the latter is not the sole and only capable leader to whom the tariff re- formers can turn to lead them out of the wilderness, and by conjuring the ghost of the third term he can bar MT. Cleveland from the re-nomination he is supposed to want.
