NO TIME FOR PRAISE.

Captain Louis Delonle of La Bour-
gogne is credited by an exchange with
having an excellent record" He is
dead now, and peace to his rest! but
the husbands of wives, the fathers or
children and the countless others now
sorrowing for dear ones who persisted
after perhaps being brutally beaten or
savagely stabbed by the coWardly
crew under his command, can hardly
feel willing to agree to the estimate
that is here placed upon him. 1t is
the duty of a sea captain to enforce
discipline upon his vessel, and this
the Bourgogne's captain obviously
failed to do When the disaster came
and his men, in their blind fear, were
turned to worse than unreaSOning
brutes, then was the supreme moment
for him to prove his worth and his
fitness for command. Just so soon as
his sailors became lawless, out should
have come his revolvers and death
should have been the instant portion
of every man who dared to disobey.
If discipline had thus been enforced
and the crew been compelled to lower
the boats and life RATS in an orderly
manner and to stand back while the
passengers we're being disembarked,
their own turn to come later, it is en-
tirely probable that nearly every soul
on board might have been saved. In
view Of these circumstances any praise
that may now be bestowed upon the
captain Of the Bourgogne will fall with
cruel cynicism upon the ears of the
heartbroken mourners for loved ones
so needlessly sacrificed.

FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.

Washington, July 8.-Both houses
of congress adjourned without day at
2 o'clock this afternoon. This was
the fifty-ffth congress. The execu-
tive session of the senate held just
prior to the adjournment was devoted
largely to cases to which there was
no objection, but no time of any
consequence was given to any one
case. For nearly an hour previous
to adjournment, President Nc
Kinley and all of the mem
bers of his cabinet, except
Secretaries Day and Long, were in the
presidents room, adjoining the
senate chamber. During that time
the president signed large num-
Der of engrossed bills, many of
which would have failed had
it been necessary to send
them to the executive mansion
for signature. Mr.. Morgan (Ala.) op-
posed the proposed adjournment,
maintaining that it would be
more desirable for congress
to take a recess until the first
Monday in September. Mr.. Morgan
said: There is absolutely no neces-
sity for adjournment. It is hasty,
improvident and dangerous step. It
seems to me the war with Spain is
drawing to conclusion. The ending

Those who have for some years in
sistently demanded the re-establish-
ment of the whipping post for wife
beaters will find comfort and support
in the position assumed by President
ShortaH Of the Illinois Humane Society.
He advocates boldly the setting up Of
the post for woman beaters, incorrig-
ible vagrants and hoodlums who do not
yield to ordinary criminal treatment.
Coming from the head of humane So
clety this is a startling recommends
tion. 1t does not appear, however, to
proceed from reason so much as from
passion. The fact is that history is
the only safe guide in this question It
proves concausively that when the
whipping post was a means of punish
ment it did not restrain or terrify one
and penal labor now. 1t never re-
pressed criminality, limited vice or
checked violence. Indeed, where it was

continued, until humane methods dis
placed the barbarous. Scarcely any
punishment is too severe for the wife
beater. But all human experience
proves that it is not the severity Of
punishment which deters so much as
the certainty of it, When for highway
robbery death was the penalty the re-
suit was that the highway robber near

begins with home associations, and
that foreign ones must be held to be

THE FEEBLE-MINDED.
They Are to be All Sent to the
Home at Glen Ellen.

The State Commission in Lunacy
has decided to remove all the feeble
mined persons confined in State hos
pitfalls to the Home for Feeble Minded
at Glen Ellen Patients from the four
northern hospitals will be transferred
as soon as possible, and on Thursday
next about twenty from San Francisco,
Santa Clara and other adjoining coun-
ties will be installed in their new quar-
ters
The Commission in Lunacy appreci-
ates the fact that there is a wide diff
ference between a feeble minded and
an insane person, and that the treat
ment adapted to one is entirely wrong
for the other. For that reason it is
desired to have the insane and the
feeble minded placed in separate in
stitutions.
The last Legislature passed a bill al
lowing the confinement of all feeble
minded persons at the home at Glen
Ellen. Prior to that time only chill
dren were admitted, grown up persons
being sent to the insane asylums for
treatment. Secretary Carrere Of the
Lunacy Commission will go to Glen
Ellen Thursday. to superintend the
transfer.
The recent decision of Commissioner
General Of Emigration Powderly that
all foreigners who within a year after
their arrival in America, had become
insane shall be deported, will solve the
question over which the Lunacy Com
mission has pondered for the past two
years. Twenty-Five or thirty such PER
sons are confined in California at the
present time. and their deportation will
mean g large annual saving for the
State.

prise. He was astonished, and ex-
pressed himself accordingly. He de-
clared that he had always thought
the Americans were a peaceful COM
mercial nation; he did not know they
were such fighters" Then, with the
instinct of the diplomat and the states
man, he added that he was glad of the
conquest of the Philippines, because
the Americans would treat the Chinese
fairly and kindly. 1t did not enter
into the mind of this veteran in state
craft that we should ever give up the
Philippines. This little incident
breaches a powerful sermon, one OBJ

need to do now, therefore, is to present
it with demonstrations of the claimed
excellence or superiority Of our pro-
ducts. That is to say, let US now call
foreign witnesses to prove the quality
of the productions to which we invite

lies in the eating thereof, here is our
opportunity. The POST would, there
