'NHb WHIPPING post as
means of punishment for
Il criminals is again being
talked of. 1t is interesting
to note that Rev. Henry II. Kelsey, a
prominent clergyman of Hartford,
Conn, is on the side of those who ad-
vocate the lash for those evil-doers for
whom the Jail has lost all terrors. The
heads of police departments in many
well-known cities who have been in
terviewed agree with Rev. Mr.. Kelsey,
and it is likely that an extended cam
vass for opinions would find advocates
of the whipping post largely in the
majority in police circles. 1t has been
noticed everywhere that those who are
compelled to deal most intimately with
the criminals of british instincts are
the most earnest In their recommenda-
tion of this method of punishment for
the class that regards with indiffer-
ence a term behind the bars. The ef-
forts of these officials to secure the
enactment of laws which would give
authority to administer proper punish
ment to those who are without redeem
ing traits in the way of manhood have
in nearly all of the states been met by
the mawkish wall of sentimental peo-
pie who contend that the whipping post
is a relic of barbarism. The effort
made some time ago to secure the pass
age of bill in the Pennsylvania legis-
lature that would introduce the whip
ping post to wife heaters aroused op-
position which has probably made the
blear-eyed inebriate of the coal regions
secure for years to come from any
punishment save perhaps a short time
in Jail or fine, which is usually paid
by the abused wife. In the case of the
whipping post, as in many other ques-
tions of public interest, the people least
qualified by actual knowledge to ex-
press opinions usually have the most to
say and too often exert an undue in
f1uence. Rev. Mr.. Kelsey has the
proper idea. Give confirmed lawbreak-
ers the whip first; then let sermons
follow.

A Poor Contrast.

y" HE GREAT loss of life
among the English officers
u in South Africa has been
attributed to n large eX-
tent to the brilliant uniforms of the SER
vice which makes the wearer an easy
target for the Dutch sharpshooter
When engaged in combat with savages
1t matters not what the style Of uni
form may be but within range of a COOL
calculating enemy equipped with mod
ern firearms the officer or private in
brilliant attire is taking terrible risks.
An effective illustration of the dangers
of apparel that is conspicuous on the
battle field was given during the War
OF the Rebellion. Soon after the OPEN
ing a headgear was adopted by the
Union troops known as the "Havelock ="
1t consisted of white canvas covering
for the regulation military cap with a
cape that extended to the shoulders
and was of pattern similar to those
worn at the time by British troops in
India. A very few experiments with
the white cap proved that it was the
iilpSN iihiiiS Naib'N llldI NDuiu nav -
been invented for the rebel sharpshoot-
er either at long or short range
The lessons taught by the experience
OF American troops in the Civil War
and in the subsequent engagements
necessary to subdue the Indians have
been needed by the government Off
cials at Washington, and the fighting
clothes of the United States soldiers
are Of color as near the shades of
Sarth and foliage in the locality Of ser
vice, as possible The small loss of
rife in engagements during the Cuban
war is no doubt largely due to tic
style of uniform that caused distant
platoons of American soldiers to blend
with the tropical landscape. The Eng
lish war department has certainly dis
played sad lack of perception in not
prohting by these lessons, The send
ing of thousands of brave men to the
front arrayed in uniforms that make
them conspicuous targets for the bul.
let's of the long range marksmen OF
the enemy is the most grievous error
that has been made during the present
conflict. In contrast with our own wal
department, recently so much criticized
the British war office is certainly no
showing up we'll.

One Of the most curious effects of the
South African war has been expert
enced at Antwerp, the dwelling place
of diamond cutters. on account Of hos
tilitles that have temporarily suspend
ed the traffic in precious stones, many
diamond polishers are without occupa
tion and in danger of starvation. The
far-reaching results of war are indeed
emphasized in the conflict in the Trans
vaal that has thrown out of employ
from the theater of conflict.

A Played Out Role.

z Y pom THE occasion Of the
twelfth annual reunion and
banquet of the New York
Alumni of Union college,
bcld in New York city Thursday even
ing, Mr.. Charles II. Miller. editor of
the New York Times, made a response
to tn" toast "Our Country" which is
worthy to be circulated widely. He
said:
II like the old-fashioned toasts, The
Flag our Country Time was when
these were the toasts spoken to at
every banquet table. They fjew out
of date for a time, but, thank God
sect of Adullamites has grown up
among us within the last dozen years
who Withdrawing from the currents
of the COuntry's daily life and strife
have sent forth from their cave blasts
of abuse and ridicule upon every pass
erby who was not ready to confess
that he was heartily ashamed of being
an American citizen. They have
taught us that it is beneath the dig
nifty of grown man to love his coun.
try; that the man who processes de-
votion to the flag is usually contem-
plating some act of turpitude, and that
patriotism is a silly word which must
never be uttered save in contempt nol
printed without the sneering accom-.
paniment of quotation marks. The new
national spirit, the larger thoughts anc
broader aspirations that occupy the
minds of the American people today
have made it uphill work for the
Adullamites. Hardly any man who is
an actual worker and doer of things
as distinguished from the fellows who
stand around and find fault. any long.
er attends to them. They preach dill.
gently, but their doctrines find sma,
acceptance among people who ar,
too busy to heed them"
1t is not to be said that these profes.
sional critics are useless, for we ar,
taught by eminent authorities tina
every created being performs som,
valuable service in the economy O
Providence. But it is, as Mr.. MilleI
points out, a healthful sign that tn,
great body of the American people ar,
getting over the habit of taking thes,
men at their self-estimated value an
are so busying themselves with con
structive labors that they have scan
leisure to devote to grumblers.

Residents of Montrose, as we'll as
other points about Susquehanna coun-
ty, are rejoicing over additional train
service which will take effect on Mon
day on the Lackawanna branch, con-
Meeting the county seat of Susquehan-
ma with the main line. The addi-
tional trains on this branch road will
prove convenient to Scrantonians, as
well. The change is an appreciated
step of progress on the part of the new
management of the Lackawanna road
and one which seeks to encourage ira
vel and bring business to the road by
affording the best train facilities pos
sible.

Letter from Mayor Moir.

Editor of The Tribune
Sir: "Furor Scribendi" is a motto I
would suggest for inscription upon the
coat of arms of the Lord Autocrat of the
Scranton Gas and Water company. Hav-
ing placed Colonel Boies "hors de com
bat" he now hurls his "brutum fulmen"
at me. Mr.. w. w. Scranton is at lib
erty to criticise my every official act if
he sees fit but, though no doubt eminent
ly capable, l certainly object to allowing
him the privilege of so shaping my fu-
ture conduct as to make me a defaultcr.
If being poor is a sin or crime then | am
guilty; but as to questioning my repu-
tatiOn for honesty, Well! 1 brave the
sCribbler of the long-eared kind.
Very truly yours,
James MOir.
