The Maine Centrai's Next President.

As will be seen by the interview with
Mr.. Manley in another column of this
mornings issue, it is well settled that
Lucius futile of Boston, the president
of the Boston & Maine, will succeed
President Wilson of the Maine Central
when the annual meeting of the latter
road is held at Portland ncNt month.
There will be some natural regret
among Maine people that the head OF
our great railroad system is not to be
a Maine man in the future as he al
ways has been in the past. The rea-
sons for this, however, are purely SEN
timental. and the arguments why it
will be better both for the State and
for the road to have Mr.. futile hold
the presidency, as advanced by Director
Manley, are numerous and of much
weight.
This change means no more CONSOLE
dation than already exists. The Ros
ton & Maine holds 81 per cent. of the

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
DeIaware's Whipping Post.

Delaware has received much criticism
on account of the whipping post law,
which has been in force some years in
that state. ON Saturday nine men Were
publicly whipped at New Castle for the
crimes of burglary and petit larceny. in
There was no pretense about the pun I
ishment. The lash was laid on accord
ing to the manner provided by the law.
II is easy to say harsh things about pun e
ishment in this form. and the so called
humanitarianS and the representative
have not been sparinS in their condemna =
ton. There is, however, another side of
the case. The fact that Delaware has
tried this method Of punishment, and re
experience has shown that 1t is not advis ~
able to abolish the whipping post. There
is nothing more valuable in the study of
crime than experience i'll finding out what
method of punishment is best adapted to
certain cases. Delaware has concluded
that applying the cat-o-nine tails to
thieves is better than locking them in Jail
for six months and feeding them at the
states expense.
There is a law in Baltimore that pro
vides for the punishment of wife heaters
bv floggng. but such is the feeling here
that but three men have been whipped
for this. one of the most brutal crimes,
in over ten years. The warden of the Jail
a few days ago emphatically declared
that the only way to stop men from beat
ing their wives is to string them up to
punishment does not compare in brutality
10 that of a strong man beating a weak
and defenseless woman. If some of the
tender hearted could see in the police
court the condition of some of the wom-
en- who have been thus maitreated, their

The ship Arthur Sewall, Capt James
+. Murphy. arrived in San Francisco,
Monday, from Philadelphia. Thus she
was only two days behind the ship
Jabez Howes, Capt. Clapp, which the
Times stated, yesterday, arrived in
San Francisco, Saturday. The Sewall's
time was therefore 127 days, a little
better than the average passage, which
is 1874 days. Quick passages are seldom
made at this season of the year, for
ship generally strikes a good deal Of
calm weather, both on the Atlantic and
Pacific. The Arthur Sewall was
launched from the yard Of Arthur
SewaIl 81 CO., last spring, sailing at
once to Philadelphia to embark a mis-
cellaneOus cargo for Frisco. SO this is
the ships maiden voyage. It's result is
extremely satisfactory to the ships

the two roads are most closely con-

The rise in the price of beef has
caused the gastronomic scientists to
figure out that beef is not necessity
after all. but only habit and q luxury.
The vegetarians show that it's nutri-

many cereals. They hold that the
complete disappearance of beef from

This is all very well as scientific
demonstration. but it will take more
than mathematical arguments to con-
vince most men that surloin steak and

About all that appears to be left ont
Of account here is the consent of the
not enthuse over the idea of leaving
the land of their birth for a foreign
cline, especially in view of the har-
rowing outcome of similar colonization
schemes in years gone by. 1t may,
perhaps, have escaped the attention Of
Mr.. Tharin. in the haste and enthusi-
asm of preparing his plan, that there
are no African negroes in America at
this time. The dusky chief who was
brought from Africa in a slave ship in
the early days Of the colonies may, very
likely, have pinned for the dark jungles
and nut brown maidens of his ma
tive land, but such would scarcely be
the case with his descendants. The
American negro has always been noted
for the strength of his local attach
ments.
1t is very doubtful if he could ever be
persuaded to leave his native land.
His very superstitions-his Unborn ter
ror of the unknown, will suffice to
make him cling with extraordinary
Consciousness to the environments of
his BIRTH Why Mr.. Tharin should
choose Africa is not altogether appar-
cnt. If an effort We're to be made to
settle the race problem Of this country
by a wholesale transportation of
negroes the Philippines would afford
full better opportunities of colonial
ton than any portion of Africa under
existing conditions.
But the whole scheme is chimerical
and impractical Under our constitu-
ton the American negro is invested
with the rights and privileges of citi-
zenship. He is entitled to the protec-
ton Of the flag in his life, liberty, ana
pursuit Of happiness" To undertake
his forcible removal from the land of
his birth-and that is the only way
that he will go to any considerable eX-
tent-would be measure fraught with
problems which we fear Mr. Tharin
has never undertaken to wrestle with.
The negro is not only with US, but
to doubt that he is here to stay. 1t is
the duty of the republic to do all in its
power to educate him up to the highest
possible standard of citizenship. The
noble work in this direction which has
been accomplished by the Rev. Booker
I. Washington shows concIusively
what is possible to we'll directed and
sympathetic effort.

a man does not have to be an artist
to admire the beauty of the forests
when the frost has put on the leaves
their gorgeous autumnal tints. No
where in nature are such brilliant
effects produced. and the soul is dead
which does not thrill with poetry at
the sight. But while all admire, few
understand how it is done. After years
of experiments and observations,
scientists yet fail to explain the full
chemical process that is performed by
the sunshine and the frost upon the
leaves. The mystery, however. will
not bother most of us. We are con-
tent to say that God paints the glorious
picture. and let it so at that.

If is unfortunate that half a score Of
our sailors should have been captured
or killed in the Philippines, but the
capture of the gunboat Urdaneta is not
Of enough Importance to be regarded
seriously. 1t was little mosquito
craft of 40 tons. scarcely more than a
launch. captured from the Spaniards,
and equipped for service in the creeks
and shallow bays. However, she is the
first naval vessel of any size we have
lost since the declaration of the war
with Spain. The Spaniards did not
have a single trophy to show, not 50
much even as n ships boat, while we
sank two Of their fleets, besides de-
stioying and capturing many small
cruisers. In this respect we We're eX-
ceptionally fortunate. In the War OF
1872 we lost most of the light cruisers
we had at the opening of the contest.
though at the end of the struggle the
balance of captores was heavily in our
favor. The Mcxicans captured one Of
our vessels, the Truxtun. man-o
brig which got ashore under the guns
of a battery and could not be towed
off. The Mexcans succeeded in get
ting the battery off the vessel, but the
guns We're subsequently recaptured by
a naval expedition. Probably the cir
cumstances which led the Truxtun to
go aground We're not very different
from those which caused the mis-
fortune of the Urdaneta.
