PENAL HUMILIATION

The new rule instituted for the govern
ment of convicts in the San Quentin prison
requiring them to rise and salute pass
irg officer if they happen to be lounging
at the time has proved so distasteful that
many of the older and more hardened con-
victs have been compelled to submit to the
discipline of the dungeon in order that
they might acquire proper understand
ing of their position in the community.
This new rule, taken in connection with
many other circumstances of recent hap
pening, indicates that the sentiment of the
country is recovering from its morbid con-
dItion of unwholesome sym pathy for vio-
lent breakers of the law.
The most ridiculous manifestation of
silly regard for the comfort and pleasure
of the dangerous elements of the commu-
nifty came from the wise old State of New
York, which substituted "eiectrocution''
for hanging in capital cases, because it was
more humanel That foolish fad is diving
a natural death in the State of its origin.
Happily no other State of the Union fol-
lowed the foolish example.
The abolition of the whipping-post was
the first step in this retrograde movement
of "humanitarianism." This benign in
strument of correction was cast out be-
cause it was too severe shock to the pride
of men--it Inundated them too much.
Before its abolition it had proved exceed
ingly useful in certain cases, as wife beat
ing and petty larceny. 1t was the most
benehcent form of punishment ever de-
vised for offenses of that character. In
its place was instituted the humane"
practice of sentencing the culprlts to a
short term in the county Jail. where they
were assured of comfortable lodging and
abundant wholesome food, with little or
no work and complete relief from the
cares and anxieties which beset honest
citizens.
There is coming commendable reaction
against this naudlin folly. Editors and
other thinking persons are beginning to
clamor out against the practice of pander-
ing to criminals and holding the comfort

Every mention of the names OF Garibaldi, Italy
and King Humbert was greeted with loud
cheers.
The statue OF Garibaldi is by the sculptor
Gallori. 1t is an equestrian bronze weighing
fifteen tons. 1t has been erected in the grounds
of the Villa Corsini upon an immense granite
base, on the four sides of which are shown
four allegorical groups. The side fac ing Rome

THE GRAND ARMY ENcAMpMENr

The encampment Of the Grand Army of the
Republic last week at Louisville, KY was not
only most imposing scene but an event of
most hopeful significance for the country
Upward Of 10000 veteran "boys in blue"
marched in the parade amid the frantic
huzzas OF 100000 spectators. The ovation
given the heroes whose valor saved the life of
the Nation by the people of the South, and
especially by SO many brave heroes who once
wore the gray and followed the "Stars and
Bars" was of tremendous significance 1t
demonstrates beyond the possibility of doubt
that we are indeed and in truth united peo-
pie and that the South as whole is now as
Truly loyal to our grand old flag as is the
North-that all, north, south, east and west,
from the depths of their hearts indorse the
sentiment-'One flag, one country, one dcs-
tiny
In speaking of it editorially in the Courier
Journal Henry Watterson well says:
Such a spectacle would, perhaps, be impossible
in any other country. In the United States we are
good lighters, but we are not long haters. We fight
out our differences and dismiss them. We are too
busy, and, let us hope, too sensible patriotic TO
keep alive the animosities of day that has gone
forever and ever by. The 'late unpleasantness''
was no chids play while it lasted, but it fought
out its logical result and all classes are prepared
excited. We have built up the waste places have
buried the past and faces resolutely to the
futuae with confidence in the great destiny which
our united efforts will create. When we look back
to 1861 we cannot but wonder at the mysterious
10y aions "nton a peneIiSeHI froViaence mas led
great people through the havoc Of fratri-
cidal strife to peace, prosperity and fraternity.
The fact that all cl asses now not only re-
joice over preserved Union and the return of
peace and prosperity to our. great country, but
vie with each other in doing honor to the
patriotic citizen soldiery-the veterans of the
Grand Army OF the Republics pregnant with
hope for the future. 1t demonstrates that the
American Republic is not ungrateful. And by
doing. so it develops in the rising generation
not love for war, but deep-seated, intelli-
gent patriotism that will be more than a
match for any foe that may assail our country
or any internal emergency that may arise.
Long live the Grand Army of the Republic

PLAIN TALKS WITH FARMERS,

Conceding the necessity of more knowl-
edge among farmers, how are they going
to get itP 1t must be evident that the
individual farmer, unaided, can make
little progress. The acquisition of knowl-
edge takes time and costs money. The
farmer cannot leave his farm and go to
school. There is, as a rule. no one near
him who can inform him; in fact no one
person can know the essential details
about many subjects. He cannot rely
entirely on the press. Newspapers are
compelled usually 10 cover too wide a field
to treat any one topic exclusively. The
books adapted to the needs of the farmer
OF California are very few in number and
cover but very small portion OF the field.
They are not written because it would paw
no one to write or publish them Farmers
do not buy books. The farmer, if be
learns, must do so not only from the press.
from books and from his own observation,
but by intercourse with others. Most of the
greater acuteness of city men comes from
their continual intercourse, The farmer,
transplanted to the city, very soon ac-
quires it. 1t is invariably present in those
who continually associate with others, and
as certainly wanting in those who do not.
Human intercourse is the process not only
OF acquiring knowledge but of correcting
or more firmly establishing knowledg e
otherwise acquired and putting it in form
for practical use to get money by. 1t leads
to confidence, resolution and action.
The farmers of California, therefore. il
they propose seriously to engage in study
with the view of Improving their condition
must do so by such organized action as
will bring neighbors together as frequently
as possible, put the groups so established
into communication with other groups and
bring as many as possible of the mass
together in those occasional reunions
wherein confidence and enthusiasm are
generated and wider range of acauaint
ance and outlook is acquired.
Such organizations cost money and
much time. To create such an organiza-
ton from nothing, overcome the ineyita-
bic friction and joining of all new ma.

GIBSON'S INTERVIEW.

Persuaded at last to break his silence upon
the subject of the Emmanuel Church murders
Rev. Mr.. Gibson furnished to two morning pa
pers an authorized "interviewe with him upon
the Durrant case, each prefaced with a state
ment about how hard it had been to induce
him to furnish 1t. 1t is evident from the per-
usal OF the Interview that Mr.. Gibson's pre-
vious silence was piece of good luck on his
