The order had one more assessment in
1897 than in 1896, but when we take
into consideration the greater number of

is one that the order can point to

THE FIGHT AT COLUMBUS.

The most interesting place in the
United States today is Columbus, o.
That which makes it so is the SEN
atorial contest. Such contests are not
usually of national Importance, but
the present one is. Not only is a seat
in the United States senate involved
but there are involved the administra-
ton and the methods by which it was
placed in power; in other words, Han
naism is involved. Hanna it was who
engineered Major McKinley's boom
at St. Louis and who conducted his
campaign after he was nominated.
The great force behind Hanna was
the money power and the trusts; and
they won the day. Hannaism means
commercialism and corruption in poll
tics; it is now being put to the test
in Ohio. Will it win? At the present
time things look anything but propit-
ious for it. The anti-Hanna men have
organized the legislature and this of
itself is an important thing. A bill to
repeal the fifty-years' franchise law has
been introduced by a Republican
member. The Importance of this lies
in the fact that the passage of the law
was procured in the Hanna interest.
Another Republican has introduced a
resolution favoring the recognition of
Cuban belligerency. This is a direct
slap at the administration, the presi-
dent having taken grounds against it
in his message.
What the outcome will be no one
can say. Mr.. Hanna is not a man to
give up fight until he has exhausted
every resource, and he is a man of
resources. If the detection in the
Republican ranks is such that it can
not be cured, of course he is a gone
man. But whatever money, patronage
and cajolery can do to cure this defec-

OGDEN SUGAR FACTORY CON.
TRACT.

The news comes from Los Angeles

Eccles and Joseph Clark, of ogden, for
the construction of a beet sugar fac
tory at ogden. The contract provides
that the factory. which is TO have a
capacity of seven hundred tons per
day, shall be completed so as to handle
the beet crop of 1898.
This is truly good news. 1t means

THE COST OF WIFE-BEATING.

The recent sentence of Actor Radcliffe
to six months Imprisonment for wife
beating has called forth many com
ments and some interesting statistics
Thus a correspondent of the New York
Press saws that at one time he col
lected from the British press, during a
period of three months, all accounts of
convictions for wife-beating. The col
lection was published in pamphlet
form. He gives a few extracts from it,
as follows:
Two Shillings Sixpence.-Throwing
the fire irons at the head of his wife
Five misunderstanding his wife on
the head with q piece of wood two
months after MARRIAGE.
Six Shillings.-Beating his wife sew
eral times; kicking her in the breast;
tearing her hair out; trying to strange
her, and knocking her against the bed.
Same.-Pushing his wife in the fire
and burning her hands. e.
One Pound Sterling.-A black eye;
trying to cut his wifes throat; kicking
her in the breast; throwing a cup of
hot tea in her face, after having boxed
her ears.
Two Pounds Sterling.-Two black
eyes; knocking her over the head and
splitting it open.
Three Pounds Sterling. Kicking her
in the stomach, disabling her for
weeks.
Six Months Imprisonment-Cutt
his wife's face with a knife; beating
her with a lamp; breaking one of her
arms; kicking her while on the ground
helpless; tearing off her clothes and
burning them.
The English common law has always
recognized in the husband the right of
chastisement OF. the wife. The cases
above cited show that the husbands
exceeded their rights in this direction.
But no man can complain of excess of
punishment who is fined only six shil-
lings for kicking his wife in the breast:
tearing her hair out; trying to strange
her, and knocking her against the bed.
Nor is two pounds sterling an excessive
fine to pay for the privilege of hit
ting ones wife over the head and split
ting it open.
Actor Ratcliffe's case was not so ag-
gravated in any respect as any of the
above vet an unfeeling Judge sentenced

American Colonial Tracts, Number
Nine 1t deals with Bacon's rebellion,
being AN account of our late troubles
in Virginia, written in 1876 by Mrs. Ann
Cotton of @. Creek. Published from the
original manuscript, in the Richmond
Wa.) Enquirer of 18th September
1904" There is also "A list of those
who have been executed for the late
rebellion in Virginia, by Sir William
Berkeley, governor of the Colony"
Both are very interesting, and Sir Will
liam's terse manner of telling who
were executed is commendable. For
instance: Il. One Johnson, stirrer of
the people to sedition, but no fighter.
8. One Carver, valiant and stout sea-
man, taken miraculously, who came
with Bland, with equal commission,
and two hundred men, to take me and
some other gentlemen that assisted
me, with the help of two hundred sol
diers; miraculously delivered into my
hand
