Big Mistakes.

The recent citation of two Cumber-
land teachers and A. f. Smith, of
Grahamton, for resort to the switch are
little less than outrages. Indeed, each
is an assault upon discipline, without
which the schools would be worthless.
Moreover. these people, like those
who oppose the restriction OF the COW.
know not what they do. The worst
thing that can be done for boy is to
uphold him in a wrong. A seed so
planted may ripen in the penitentiary
OR reach harvest-time on the gallows.

HOW DAYTON WOULD DO IT.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 2O.-Jack Dali
ton. the well known Alaska prospect
or, after whom the Dalton trail is
named, in an interview, regarding the
proposed relief expedition of the gov
eminent to Alaska, says:
'.The proposal 10 use reindeer teams,
does not strike me rs being the right
thing. Horses can be used TO much
better advantage. Instead of rein
deers The department ought to get to-
gether large number of hardy horses,
sufficient for the work. They can do
much better work than the reindeer.
| would use sleds for the carrying of
food to the men and provender for
the horses. To handle reindeer eX-
peditiously it would be necessary to
have relay stations established a
days journey apart, with food for the
animals at these stations"
Mr.. Dalton in speaking of the best
route by which to take relief, said he
would go over the ChilkOOt pass and
then down the lakes and the Yukon
river over the ice.

NEW POLISH CATHOLIC SECT.

Chicago. Dec. 20.-The Times-Her-
aid SAYS: Polish Catholic seceders
from the Roman Catholics, who have
been organized into the independent
Polish Catholic Church of America"
with three parishes located in Chica-
go, received Bishop Kozlowski, leader
of the revolt, as the spiritual head of
the church in America, Sunday with
impressive rites. The new prelate has
just returned from Europe, where he
went by appointment of his people to
receive ordination as a Bishop. AS he
could not secure recognition from the
Holy See and was cOnsecrated by a
bishop of the Catholic church OF
Christian of Switzerland, there was
said to be doubt about the welcome
awaiting him. This proved to be I'M
founded. The priests of the parishes
received him with opened arms and
BY this act a new sect
is formally established in America.

HE is A LABOR HATER.

Peoria, ILL.,, Dec. 20.-Great satisfac-
ton is expressed at the headquarters
of the railroad brotherhOoGs in this
city over the fact that the president
has withheld the appointment of
Judge Edward NJ. Paxson as a MEM
Der of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission and may not name him.
Chief Sargent, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen, recently visited
Washington TO protest against the APP
pointment in behalf of the brother
hoods. He said: Judge Paxson
has been the bitter opponent of organ
hed labor. He has so expressed him
self whenever he has had an oppor-
tunity. He is connected with the
Reading company, and he refuses to
let anyone work for that road who is
connected with labor organizations.
One million voters are against his ap-
pointment."

PRESIDENT AND CIVIL SERVICE

Washington. Dee. 20.-While it is
impossible TO understand how the
president can materially modify the
civil service law and it is equally GER
tain that the Democrats will afford no
aid to the Republicans in amending
the law short of wiping it off the stat
ute books, it is currently reported
here upon what is said to be good au-
thority that the president intends TAX
ing such a step. This action, ii is
said will be taken in order to fore
stall any more radical changes by Con-
gress, one of which is said to be the
tenure of office" feature. This phase
of the subject is being discussed more
today than any other feature of the
civil service, and is said to have the
support of a large number of Demo
Gratis and Republicans who are other
wise in favor of the merit system. If
the president should, as it is said, re-
scind eX-President Cleveland's last Or
der. he will take about $4,000 places
out of the classified service. This
would apply to all bonded officials,
such as deputy collectors of customs,
deputy collectors of internal revenue,
deputy marshals, assistant district at
torneys, assistant subtreasurers, and
executive chiefs of bureaus and de-
partments. 1t is said the new rule
will be issued before the close of the
holiday recess.

output of sugar from the Hawaiian
islands for the year just closing, ac-
cording 70 the figures Of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters association, transmit
ted to the State department by United
States Consul General Haywood is put

laborers ON the plantations G1O9 were
contract japanese, 52S5 free japanese,

of laborers whose contract expires
next year is 2017, and he numebr
wanted is 4273. The Japanese seem
to be preferred by the planters as Ia

A MUTte[OUS AIQCE
Mexican Man Assaults Two Ot his
COmIaireS.
One Receives a Crushed Skull And
May Die And the Other
Escapes.

Tanglefoot whiskey and other KINDS
of booze caused the downfall OF Jesus
Escobedo Saturday night.
Escabedo and his two comrades
Jose Mendoza and Rodriguez, went
out Saturday night to have goou
time and all drank until they were
feeling pretty good, when at one
o'clock yesterday morning they icft
the saloon above the Lone Star brew
cry to go home.
According to the story told by Nell
dola and Rodriguez, Escobedo became
crazed from drink as soon as they left
the saloon, and using a large iron par
which he had been carrying all night,
he began to strike at both of them as
if he intended TO kill them. Rodriguez
after receiving two blows, retired
from the scene of action and Mendoi-
ia was left to receive all the crazed
mans blows.
Escobedo, seeing that he emily had
one man to deal with laid on his blows
with all his strength and soon had
his victim unconscious, when he left
him and went home and went to bed.
As soon as Rodriguez escaped from
the mad man he went to the police sta
ton, where he told his story. BY this
time it was daylight yesterday morn
ing and Mounted Officers Beck and In
gle went TO the scene. There they
found Mendoza unconscious and with
a crushed skull and a broken arm
They telephoned for an express wagon
and had the wounded man sent to the
city hospital where his Injuries were
attended to and themselves proceed
ed to the home of Escobedo on the NIL
back of the Lone Star brewery where
they arrested him, after first pulling
him out of bed. where he was sleep
ing off his drunk.
A charge of assault to murder was
made against him in the Justice court
this morning. The condition of the
wounded man is very critical and 1t is
suspected that he will not recover.

Washington, Dec 20.-The sub-com-
mittee of the Senate committee on
commerce decide to make the trip
down the river from st. Louis to New
Orleans. The committee will start
from st. Louis on February 2, and

N0Ol0l As JUDGE
He Would Be a Strong Candidate as
RectOr'S Successor
A Bill to Limit the Term of Judges
The Harveyizei ArmOr Patent
Invalid.

\ Washington special to the Hous-
ton Post, dated December is, says:
There is considerable speculation
here as to the probable successor of
Judge Rector, and Judge Noonan's
friends are anxious to know his pres
ent position, he having filed an appli-
cation for the postmastership of San
Antonio. 1t is conceded here that
Judge Noonan would be the strongest
Texas candidate for the judgship and
his friends will bring great pressure
TO bear to secure him the appointment
if he is in a position to accept 1t. 1t
is considered here that the bill to be
introduced by Congressman Henry
and which has practically been agreed
upon by the entire state delegation for
the appointment of a temporary fed
eral Judge to act in Judge Rector's
place is of more Importance than APP
pears ON the face Of it. This appoint
ment, when made, will be virtually a
permanent one. The bill will I'M
doubtedly pass during January.
Congressman Cooper introduced a
joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the constitution limiting the
tenure of office of the Supreme and in
ferior judges of the United States
and making those offices elective or
appointive, as Congress by law may
direct.
There is CONSERVATION i'll Washing
ton among the representatives of the
ironmOngers of the country by reason
of the fact that it was decided last
night that the patent granted for the
Harveyized armor process for ship
plates is invalid. This opens the door
wide to all steel furnaces in the coun-
try for supplying Harveyized armor
to the government without ypayment
of royalty and dispenses with the
monotony hitherto enjoyed by the
Carnegie and Bethlehem iron works
people on armor plate for warships.
Hitherto the government has paid the
patentees of the Harvey process u
cent per pound royalty ON all armor
plate supplied for United States YES
sells. The government now owes
these patentees $94, 900 for royalties
due on the past years supply of armor
plate which will not be paid"

CLAWING FOR 100000.
Thieves Make Break for il But Only
J Get $1,000.

New York, Dec. 20.-The World says:
The Ward liner, City of Washington,
that sailed from Vera Cruz, December
1. and arrived in this port on Wednes-
day carried in her strong room 5000, 00O
in Mexican coin.
This was not an unusually large ship
ment of treasure for the Ward line TO
handle, and no one in authority dream
ed of danger.
Nevertheless during the voyage, the
strOngroom, built to withstand the at
tack of almost everything but dyna-
mite and located so as to be under care
full and constant observation was
broken into.
Only $1,000 was taken by the robbers
but the general impression is that the
scheme of the thieves was to seize the
entire treasure. Every effort has been
made to keep the matter quiet so the
strong force of detectives put on the
case by the company might work to
the best advantage. A. G. Smith. the
company's secretary, admitted that the
ribbery had been committed.

CHILL NOT SETTLED.
Politics And Labor Masters In a State
OF Choas.


Valparaiso, Chile, Dec. 20.-Politics
in Chile is sadly mixed. Since the
resignation of the cabinet which sSaS
due to the coalition of the government
Liberals, the Conservatives and the
Balmacedists, in this direction have
gone for naught.
The coalition of the three parties
was based on an agreement to give
each party two members in the new
cabinet. Senior Ismael TOcornal I'M
dertook to form a new ministry and
failed, because of the refusal of the
government Liberals to abide by the
agreement, they being willing to give
only one member of the cabinet each
to the BalmacediSts and Conserya-
tives. Then Senior Pedro Monet I'M
dertook to form n ministry, but was
persona mona grata to certain pOlit-
cal leaders, therefore he too failed.
Senior Monet was bitterly attacked by
the press and President Errazuriz was
criticised by even his own organs for
even choosing him. Schemlng
against the interests of the country
was charged and the president was
accused of betraying his party.
The president has had several CON
ferences with the leaders of the three
parties, but, so far as can be learn
ed. he has arrived at no decision as
to whom to select TO form the new
ministry.
A big mass meeting was held here
to protest against the governments
policy of refusing all offers to build
more railways, cars and locomotives
at home. The speakers demanded
such work done in order to give en-
ployment to those who need it to sup
port themselves and families. A re-
solution embodying the sense of the
meeting was forwarded to the gov
eminent in Santiago.

SPAIN is NOT so BAD.
Weyler's Ideas Are Not Universal,
3 Not Even General.

Not Even General.
New York, Dec. 20.-A letter writ
ten by one of the foremost diplomats
in Spain and moreover in the entire
confidence of the government and con-
sequently in a position to speak Off
cially, destroys some arguments that
have been used time after time dur
ing the past few days by those in OPP
position to the liberal ministry, says
the Madrid correspondent of the Her
aid.
Speaking of this ministry. the
writer points out irrefutably that Mr..
McKinley's message cannot be con-
strued as attacking that corner of the
Spanish army, as General Weyler and
his friends would like to make the
public believe. In the second place,
General Weyler was not recalled I'M
der pressure from the United States,
as by the express wish of the Queen
Regent his recall had been decided
upon during the late Premier Canovas'
life time. In the third place, the ma
ton as a whole appears to be more
strongly in favor of the government
than has been the case in Spain for
a long time. Every one is eager to
have done with the Cuban question
and at this very moment the city is
decorated and illuminated as n sign
of rejoicing over the establishment
of peace in the PHILIPPINES, while on ev-
cry hand you hear wishes that the
next of good news may be of a last
ing peace in Cuba.
