The Legislature will soon be in ses-
sion and we sincerely hope the work
will be done efficiently and with de-
spatch. There is no need for a long
session and if the members get down
to work from the beginning, the ap-
preparation bills and all legislation
which is actually necessary can be
gotten through with, inside of twenty
days. The per diem of members is
certainly not an inducement to make
a prolonged session, and if our law
makers can cut down the number of
days it Will be that much saved to
the taxpayers who are now strug-
Cling under a load that cheap cotton
will not relieve.
The coming General Assembly is
made up of much new material,
and in nearly every delegation there
is at least one member who has an
idea which he wants enacted into
law; but in our opinion, unless the
idea is of the gravest Importance. un-
der the present depressing financial
conditions, that member would be
serving his constituents we'll if he
nurses his pet, for more propitious
time. This session should make a
record, for business with little talk,
and only such measures as are a
pressing necessity, should be intro
duced. We see it stated that the
levy for State taxes cannot be re-
duced without crippling the pub
lie institutions; we hope this is a mis-
take. If the present levy was suffi-
cjent to meet the demands when ma
terial. labor and the necessaries OF
life were much higher, we think
there ought to be some way devised
to reduce the tax and meet the de-
mands in proportion to the present
prices OF everything. Those in
charge of our public institutions will
have to learn to make short rations
do, when the larder is not full. In
all public institutions there isa great
waste and the only way to stop it is
TO bring things down to hard pan, y
lust as the taxpayer has to manage
with his private affairs. Those who
are clamoring for larger appropria'
tions for the colleges had better be
content with what they have been
getting, because the country is in nc
condition for increasing the expendl,
lures.

President Mckinley has been tour
ing the South and his trip was one
ovation after another. The people
of the South gave the president
reception, betting the high office he
holds, and we feel sure the effect OF all
of this will be better understand
ing between the Administration and
the Southern people. The speeches
delivered by the Chief Executive are
being highly praised for their liberal
thought and patriotism. His refer
ences to the confederate dead, especi-
ally, have touched the hearts OF the
people, aud aside from partisan poll
ticsMckinley has captured the people
OF the South. Were it not for the ra-
cial conditions existing here Mchln-
ley would receive tremendous vote
all over the South, but as long as the
Republican party remains the guar
dian for the negro, just so long will
the people cast their votes for some
other party, it matters not how much
they admire its chieftain.

TREASURES FROM THE DEEP.
Cannon Raised from Vessel That
Was Sunk Over Three Hum
dred Years Ago.

A very curious cargo was lately
brought to Cork on the steamer May
flower. It was nothing less than a
dozen cannon that have been raised
from the bottom of the sea in Dunwor-
ley bay, off the coast of Cork, after
having lain there for upward of 300
years. For the past fortnight diving
operations have been going on in Dun
worley bay with a view to the recovery
of certain treasure sunk in Spanish
vessels that went to the bottom over
800 years ago.
The facts of what led up to this re-
markable discovery are of interest. 1t
appears that two well-known Cork
gentlemen, Messrs. ]. Mulcahy and T..
r. Holland, received precise informa-
ton about two Spanish ships-one Of
them a pirate-that were lost in Dun
worley bay over 800 years ago, and,
after consulting with Mr.. EIsor, sal
wage contractor, of Queenstown, who
placed his diving gear at their disposal,
they formed a small syndicate to ex-
plore the bay and seek for the treasure
of the sunken ships. They secured for
this purpose the services of Mr.. Pat
rick Collins, diver well known in con-
nection with the raising Of the light
ship Putin, that foundered some time
ago off the coast of Cork, and placed
the superintendent of the operations
in the hands of Capt. jeremiah Collins,
an able and experienced navigator,
with the result that the sunken Span
ish ships have been discovered and the
dozen cannon brought to the surface
and landed at Cork. The information
received by Messrs. Mulcahy and Hol-
land as TO the whereabouts of the
sunken ships was evidently most per-
feet. and very little difficulty was ex-
perienced in locating the vessels at the
bottom of Dunworley bay. II is now
believed that ere long there will be
brought to the surface something of
far greater intrinsic value than old
cannon, and 1t Is intended to employ
dynamite to aid In securing the buried
treasure which the sunken ships are
Teputed to contain. The cannon are

socialistic vote was about 100000. and
at that time only one deputy was
elected by them. With the exception of
the period during which anarchists ex-

by 1892 II had gathered great strength.
In 1890 1t had 35 deputies. Four years

CRUEL RELIC OF pAcANIsM.
MFerrorw OF the Penancc of F1ageii
xien BcQueafhcd to Amer
lea by spain.

ssThe penitentea of New Mexico"
was the subject upon which II. b. Mar
tin. formerly chaplain Of the Kansas
City workhouse. lectured recently
The speaker has for number Of years
been doing missionary work near the
Mexican border line. The penitentes
or 4fiagellantes," as they are called In
that country, are sect OF Mexican
half-breeds who condone their sins by
soaring their bodies in horrible
manner.
ssThe penance of flagellation,' said
Mr.. Martin, zig almost prehistoric, for
4ye read accounts of 1t in the ancient
Egyptian customs far before the Chris
fian era, and the Greek historians
speak of 1t as common practice
among the Hellenic peoples as pro-
pitiation for the anger of the pagan
deities. Later on it was practiced to
some extent in France, and then In
Spain, from which country IT was COM
anunicated to Mexico and the other
Spanish conquests in America. It has
largely been stamped out by the march
OF civilization and the enlightenment
diffused among the ignorant people
who were addicted to 1t By mission
aries, but 1t still exists in many places,
and there are several localities within
the confines of the United States where
il is still in existence.
About three miles south of Trini-
dad, Col. is perhaps the largest COM
munity of these pagans in this coun-
try and there every year during the
time of Lent the penitentes gather to
atone for their sins during the preeed-
ing year. There Is q large 'marado, or
church, erected Mt this place and this
church is the center of the ceremonies.
The penitentes. after receiving con-
fcssion, strip themselves to the waist
saId with bare feet proceed 10 the
church. Here their backs are horri-
bly, mutilated by being gashed with
broken glass, and this is ground into
their flesh. Heavy wooden crosses,
sometimes weighing as much as 400
pounds, are then strapped upon the
bleeding backs of the penitentes, who
drag them for hours through the sand

times dozens of them may be seen all
along the rocky cliffs In almost mac
cessible places. Many of the peni-
tentes bear these crosses for days
without cessation. thinking that by so
doing they cleanse themselves of their
sins.
Others prepare whips of the most
cruel description. the meshes of the
rope being interviewer with cane cac-
fGs and sometimes with barbed wire,
and with these instruments of ex-
auisite torture they lash their bleed
ing backs. They all administer pun
ishment to themselves, and gauge the
amount according to their strength.
have known one man who gave himself
130 of these terrible lashes. Many
fatalities result from this mode of
penitence, and the practice has been
greatly condemned since it has be-
come generally known throughout the
state. Steps are being taken to have
broken up this relic of pagan days

PERU WANTS TROUBLE.
Strange Story Of Proposed Attack
on Us.

4
New York, August lon the Panama
Liner Advance which reached this port
today, was Commodore Carlos Ferryres,
OF the Peruvian navy, who is enroute to
Paris for the purose of purchasing war
ships for the Peruviansnavy. Rumors had
been current in Panama prior to July 21,
when Commodore Ferryres arrived there
from Callao, concerning strong agita-
ton throughout Peru against the United
States, owing to differences between the
two countries existing since 1885. Presi-
dent Pierrola at the opening of the Peru
Wan Congress last Thursday said that
the foreign relations of the government
were friendly with the exception of an is
sue raised between Peru and the United
States dating from 1885. The President
added that Peru had been compelled to
accept arbitration under somewhat .vexa-
tious conditions in order to avoid
rupture and that negotiations were still
pending with the United States, respect
ing a modification of tariffs g During the
height of the anti United States feeling
in Peru, there was considerable talk
about North America being unable to
protect it's Pacific coast line on account
of the Spanish war and that Peruvian
demonstration thereabouts might compel
the United States to modify her de-
mands. 1t was also limited that secret
agents had been sent to Europe for the
purchase of war vessels and that an i'm
portant move might be made at an early
day. These rumors were practically con-
trned by Commodore Ferryres' admis-,
sion that he was on his way to Europe to
purchase warships. No little excitement
was caused in Central America when the
information that Peru was taking steps
to strengthen her navy became known.
