You remember (or you ought to re-

OF baths and water. Gentlemen, there
can be little doubt that your ancestors
were the Great Unwashed; and in the

that only under the greatest difficulties

been pronounced to be next to godli-

deny this attribute to the cold tuD of

belief that baths were a hindrance to
cleanliness, because they interfered

Ancient Instituti0n Growing In Favor
with Advanced HuronnitariAna.
Delaware has received much crit-
cism 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 the presence of about
500 people. There was no pretense,
about the punishment. The lash was
laid on according to the manner pro-
vided by the law. 1t is easy to say
harsh things about punishment in this
form, and the so-called humanitarians
and the supersensitive have not been
sparing in their condemnation. THERE'S.
however, another side of the case. The
faot that Delaware has tried this
method Of punishment, and refuses to
repeal the law, is evidence that ex-
perience has shown that 1t is not ad-
visable to abolish the whipping-post.
There is nothing more valuable in the
study Of crime than experience in find-
ing out what method of punishment il
best adapted to certain cases. Della
ware has concluded that applying the
cat -nine-tails to thieves is better
than locking them in Jail for six
months and feeding them at the states
expense. There is law in Baltimore
that provides for the punishment OF
wifs-beaters by hogging. but such is thS
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 few days ago em-
phatically declared that the only way
to stop men from beating their wives
Is to string them up to the whipping
post and fog them. Such punishment
does not compare In brutality to that

tender hearted could see in the police

women who have been thus maltreated
their views might be different. Crime
cannot be studied at long range, and
only through the medium Of books. The
opinion of wardenr and other expertA.
who have to deal directly with crimi-
mails, is OF vastly more importance than

This man of simple manners, Of

warfare against the perils and hard

republic that has chosen him for
its chief, to destroy its liberties and
make its free sons and daughters
vassals of England-stands bravely
forth and re-echoes the words OF
the immortal orator, which more

colonies. He said to the corres>

AN ADMIRABLE CANDIDArE.

The candidacy of Mr.. Joseph Hand
Ian, of this city and county, for the
Office of State Auditor, before the
Democratic State nominating conven-
ton, is one which appeals with pecu-
liar force to the Democracy of the Pan
Handle counties, of the First district,
and the State at large Mr.. Handlan
is young man pre-emir9ntly qualified
for the Office to which he aspires. A
lawyer, learned in his profession. he is
justly popular with all classes, and
would be a decided element of strength
to the State ticket and the party cause.
He is both Democrat and a democrat
modest, unassuming, capable, ener-
getic and earnest and enthusiastic in
whatever he undertakes. A man of the
people, he would make an ideal SER
want in any public capacity, and may
be depended upon in any and all emer-
gencies. The State convention would
do well in comforting the nomination
upon him.

THE CENSUS LAW.

Some of the census enumerators,
here and elsewhere, are having trouble
with few people inclined to refuse to
answer questions. 1t may be well
enough to again call attention to some
points of the census law, that all peo-
pie may be fully informed. The rights
of census enumerators are clearly de-
fined. They are authorized to enter
every dwelling, institution and man
ufacturing establishment, and they
have right to put every question in
the census schedule, and to receive cor
rect answers to each and all Of them.
And the law provides that all those
who
"Wilfully neglect to give true and COM
plete answers to the many inquiries
authorized by this act of Congress, or
shall Yilfully give any false information.
shall be guilty Of misdsmeanor, and
upon conviotion thafeof shall b fined not

THE ANTITRUST BILL.

The House of Representatives has
passed an antitrust bill by the remark
able vote of 273 to l. The one negative
vote was cast by Republican, Mr..
Mann, of Chicago. The measure is not
to the liking of Democrats, who con-
tended upon the floor that it was only
half-hearted attempt to curb the COM
binations and by no means exhausted
the Constitutional powers of Congress,
but Republicans held otherwise, re-
jected all but one of the amendments
proposed by Democrats, and the latter
voted unanimously for the bill as the
least thing to be obtained.
The bill is an amendment to the
Sherman act of 1890, and it's purport is
to declare that every contract or COM
bination, in the form of a trust or con-
spiracy, in restraint of commerce be-
tween the States or with foreign ma
tons, to be illegal, and guilty parties
are punishable by fine of not less
than $500 or more than $4,000, and by
Imprisonment from six months to two
years. 1t is also provided that any
person or persons injured by such COM
binations may recover three-fold dam
ages. Agents, officers and attornies of
corporations are included among those
affected by the law, as stated in the
Geographic columns of the Sunday
Register.
1t was the original intention and
idea of the Republicans to include la
Dor unions within the scope of the bill,
the effect of which would have been to
make all organizations of labor unlaw-
full within the limits of the measure.
This stirred up the labor leaders of
the country, and emphatic protests
were made, to no purpose. The DEM
ocratic members of the House, how
ever, determined that labor organiza-
tons should be exempt, and prepared
an amendment to that effect. Previous
Democratic amendments uniformly
failed, but when the proposition rela-
tive to labor unions came up the Re-
publicans gave way, and the amend
ment was adopted by vote of go to
8-the latter all Republicans.
This result is significant, and the
fact should be and will be remember
ed.
The bill is short of what it should
be, but it is better than none, and a
step in the right direction. 1t now
goes to the Senate, which probably will

election.

That Lump Appropriation.

ANCW L Olh w OIlQ.
Senator Jones ought not to be obliged
to insist upon an accounting for the $50, :
100000 which Congress enthusiastically
voted the President at the outbreak of the
Spanish war. The administration ought
to be eager to make it. 1t was voted gen.
erously, too generously perhaps but at
that crisis the Presidents hands, which
were thereby strengthened, were the
country's hands.
There is good ground for suspicion that
mistake was made in expanding this
large amount; that, like patronage in Cuba
and elsewhere, the administration assumed
that the $5O,000,000 was part of the spoils
and so distributed it that it benefited "the
boys" and only incidentally the govern
ment
The President is strong believer in
the incidental character of the govern
ment as a beneficiary. His theory of a
tariff, for example, is that it should help
the manufacturer in the first place and
incidentally furnish revenue to the public
treasury.
The Hazel sale of the yacht Enquirer
Is case in point. The government paid
$4,000 for a 5000 boat. Corners got $780,
100 and $4,000 went elsewhere. Hazel got
49, 600 for working his pull for his friend
Corners That all this was normal and
proper is shown by the fact that Hazel
is the choice of the Republican machine
for an appointment to the bench and that
Mr., Mckinley has named him. Now how
many other Republican managers worked
off cheap yachts on the government at
high prices? How much were the com
missions? Did the government buy any
thing at all with that $50 900, 900 at market
rates? How much scandal is connected
with the expenditure of this liberal appro-
priation?
The country is in the position of the
father who has made up his mind to settle
the debts of his dissipated son. 1t wants
to know the whole truth in all its bitter
ness, that there may be an end of the
matter.

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL ROW

Ahh11 hAASfAN ftO w .
The Republican fight for the Con-
gressional nomination has passed the
pacific stage. 1t has degenerated into a
monkey and parrot time, and the dirty
linen of the party is being aired and
washed in public to an extent which is
anything but refreshing. The ma
chine, made up of Captain Dovener and
his friends, has lost no opportunity to
indulge in unfairness or to exercise the
brute force Of power against Hon. John
"A. Campbell, and while this policy will
probably secure Captain Dovener the
nomination it means that on election
day the present Congressman will be
made to realize that the ability of
might to enforce it's demands does not
mean the support of those who love
right and fair play. The friends of
Captain Dovener have made an error
which, sooner, or later, will lead to his
undoing and his retirement from public
life. The Dovener men have refused
fair play to those who antagonized
them within their party And in doing
this, they have raised up enemies who
will never rest until they have achieved
both victory and vengeance. Conser-
vative Republicans-those who believe
that fair play is a jewel and that what
IS popularity known as a square deal is
the inalienable right of every man,
even If he be an opponent of the party
| machine-will resent in November the
methods which the present Congress
| man and his supporters have seen fit
to use. 1t is a long lane which has no
turning, and chickens invariably come
home to roost.
