WOMAN WHIPS A WOMAN,
And Is Fined in Justice Hays Court
for Doing 1t.

Daisy Payton, q young woman of prob
ably twenty-five years, pleaded guilty yes
terday in Justice Hays court to assault
and battery upon Mrs. Essenberger, who
caused her arrest. She was fined 81 and
costs, the whole amounting to $3.50, which
was paid after the young woman had spent
most of the day in the courtroom sending
messengers for money with which to pay.
Mrs. Essenberger, it is said, was Sc
verely whipped by Miss Payton, because
of remarks made of her lover, named
Spangler. The constable who served the
papers was told that Miss Payton jumped
over a table in order to reach Mrs. Essen
berger, rather tnan take time to go around

to have received rough handling because
of objections made to her selection of a

THE CHINESE SITUATION.

The Chinese situation is shrouded in
as much mystery as ever. Whether the
ambassadors are dead or MT, still re-
mains uncertain. Minister Wa Processes
to have advices from Pekin saying
that they were alive and well on July 9,
two days after the massacre is reported
to have occurred. But no great amount
of dependence can be placed upon them.
1t is easy to conceive of reasons why the
Chinese government should want the pow
ers to believe the ministers alive, even if
they are dead, and Of course it would not
hesitate to dissemble to that end. The
strange and unaccountabIe thing is, if
they are alive, that they do not commu-
nicate with their governments. One
word from them would settle all the
doubt, Of course they might not be able
to telegraph without the consent of the
Chinese authorities, but if the latter are
anxious that the powers should believe
that they still live, as appears certain
from the fact that they arez contin uany
representing them as safe, it is unao-
countable that they should refuse per-
mission to the ambassadors to telegraph.
While the words of the Chinese govern
ment point one way, its acts point anoth-
er way, and it is to be feared that in this
case, at least, actions speak much more
truthfully than words.
Another mystery which has yet to be
solved is the nature of the outbreak
whether it is an uprising against the au-
thority of the government which the lat
ter has not the power to quell, or wheth-
er the government has fostered it and is
actually behind it. This question is not
likely to be definitely settled until the al
lies get to Pekin and perhaps not even
then, for if there has been a general mas
saore the most reliable sources of in
formation have been destroyed. In some
respects it makes very little difference
whether the government has been wicked
or only weak. In either case it must be

supplanted by something that viii have
the power and tho disposition to protect
all the people In the realm, whether for
eigners or natives In other respects it
makes a good deal of difference. If the
government has done this thing then the
empire has done it, and the empire Is
responsible. But if mob has temporarily
got control then the empire is absolved
from moral responsibility at least. A ma
tional movement which had for its OBJ
ject the expulsion or massacre of all for
eigners, would be much more serious
affair to deal with than mere mob up
rising, In the the latter case the powers
could hope for the cooperation and assist
ance of the great mass of the people to
suppress the uprising and restore and
preserve order. In the former they might
have TO do it not only unaided, but in
the face OF resistance of hundreds of mil
lions of people. Today the powers do
not really know whether they are fight
ing a mob or thu Chinese government
backed by the Chinese empire.

New Britain. Though he did not say
that he preferred any particular kind of
flesh for his own table, he confessed he
could not blame the natives for eating a
white trader whenever opportunity off
cred, and said In this case the Germans
got just what they deserved.
When the professor had concluded the
students discovered that it was time for
luncheon, but none admitted he was
hungry.
In part this is what Prof. Starr said
"There are some things do not pre-
tend to know about canniballsm, but
do know why the natives prefer human
flesh and L know the characteristics OF
the various brands of cannibals
First their religion demands that
they kill, cook and eat human beings.
Second. they eat human flesh for the
same reason we eat pOrterhOuSe steak
because they like it and because they can
get it.
''Third, their traditions command them
TO devour the hearts and liyers of their
first foe slain in battle. They believe IN
this because they think they can assimi-
late ali the courage of the late lamented
enemy.
Fourth, they kill and eat out of re-
yenge
''lhere, now you have it in a nut shell.
These German traders were slain and
broiled, / doubt not, because they came
under the fourth class. They had bean
cruel to the natives, perhaps, because
they could not make as much money as
they wanted, 1t was another case Of out
Of the frying pan into the fire, With re-
alistic embellishments
lit is notorious that men belonging to

more savage, cruel and beaStly when they
are far from home among native savages
than the savages themselves / have
visited tribes where the women and girls
are terrorizsd when they hear OF the for
elgn traders and soldiers. They actually
flee to the mountains and remain until
the visitors have departed. There is no
doubt in my own mind that the traders
provoked the attack of the cannIbals and
that thay deserved to be killed
81 do not believe that the spread of
| Christianity and civilization has been
the chief cause of the decrease of canni-
balism. Undoubtedly Christianity and
religion have had some effect on the can
Dibals, but there were a great many
tribes which pra cticed cannibaLsm and
abolished it before civilized man ever
reached them
Dr. Starr said that some races practice
cannibalism for time and then leave
when provoked to take vengeance in
war. He feels that the New Britain can
nibals looked upon the traders as being
st war with them and that it was right
for them to eat them According to the
professor the New Britain cannibals are
not known, until this time, to have eaten
foreigners for a number of years.

We do not believe that great many
gold Democrats can be tempted into vot-
ing for a third ticket even if one be put
IN nomination. Most of their
leaders have already committed them
selves either to Bryan or Mckinley, and
it is altogether probable that the rank
and file win follow them into one camp
or another. Four years ago, though there
was distinct gold Democratic ticket it
was clear enough from the returns that
most OF the Democratic opposition to
Bryan voted directly for Mckinley or did
not vote at all.

CURRENT COMMENT.
A WARNING TO THE CIVIC LEAGUE
( Bath Tinf 81


Oath Tins So
If, as Old Home Week approaches, the
Civic league persists in its declared policy
of closing up hotels and restaurants in
an effort to stop the sale of Intoxicating
beverages, the league is under the most
binding moral obligation to provide or
cause TO be provided places where the
crowds who viii come to Bath Old Home
Week can be fed. Otherwise the league
cannot escape the charge of active hos
tility to the interests of the city of Bath.
1T is a matter Of common knowledge
and complaint that Bath is at best very
inadequately supplied with hotels and
restaurants, and that with them all run
ming the ordinary, every day number Of
visitors to the city find difficulty in get
ting accommodations. With these facts
fully understood, the seriousness OF the
campaign begun by the league just as the
city is planning for the reception of thou
sands Of visitors can be appreciated.
OPPOSED TO A THIRD TICKET.
(New Haven Register, Dem.)
AS supporter Of a third ticket four
years ago, we should question the revival
OF the movement this year. 1t could but
repeat the experience of 1895, which, at
the end, when the vote was counted, re.
Vealed something Of a loss III dignity AS
the campaign progressed and calm rea-
need for holding Old-fashiOned Demo-
Gratis together disappeared, and 6he neces-
sity Of defeating neW-faslliOned Democ-
racy enlarged. The events of this year
show that there is not the slightest dan
ger of old-fashioned Democracy disap-
pearing. In fact, the only Democratic
change noted is that in the regular or
ganization, which has already, under the
steady fire and resistance of Old-school
partisans, practically abandoned every
one Of the rabid issues of four years ago
except silver.
. This fact has shaped new situation
and removed the excuse for third ticket.
1t has made the duty OF the so-calIed
Democrats, as we look at 1t, clear. Hay
ing gained 50 much in comparatively so
short a time, by stout and determined
resistance, it may safely be left to them
to settle how best the last traces of POpu-
Hstic leadership shall be driven out of
the party. 1t is less irritating and many
times more effective. The fight is directed
against POpulism, in behalf of true
Democracy, and even though a party to
which both are instinctiyely opposed
be comes the temporary beneficiary OF
such course, so great is the need and
so bright the promise of reviVing the old
Democratic party that those steps are
alone warranted which insure the defeat
of Organism.

Secretary Root having assured the
Preside Mt that we could send 10, COO men
to China including those we now have
there, it was decided not to cali an extra
session of Congress at present. Fifteen
thousand men is fair, even liberal, pro-
portion OF the number Of troops it is pro-
posed to put in the field for the expedi-
tion to Pekin. Should, however, that
expedition fail, or should 1t become APP
parent that a much larger army Will be
needed to straighten out matters in Chi
na-and it is by no means improbable
that that will turn out to be the case
then Congress might have to be called to-
gether to authorize the enlistment of
more troops. Under existing laws, our
army cannot be Increased beyond it's pres
ent figures.
Mr.. Tristram Goldthwaite, who used to
be known as the Democratic war eagle,
has very decided opinions in regard to
MIR. Bryan, and they are far from compIi-
mentary opinions, too We can't quite
agree with him, however, when he charac-
terizes Mr.. Bryan as a demagogue We
do not think he is that. We are inclined
to think he firmly believes all he preach
es about free silver, and would put it
into practice should he get the opportu-
nifty. And it is this that makes him
SO dangerous. If he were merely pretend.
ing to believe that this country could
float at par with gold an unlimited guam
tity of silver at 16 to 1, and did not sin
cereIv entertain any c11ch idoa tho chancoe
are that he would never attempt to put
it into practice If he had chance. His
sincerity is what makes him so danger
