A Suspension of Sentence.

For twenty-five years Squire Quigg
held the Office OF Justice of the Peace
in Doniphan County, and in the early
part of his administration he held the
idea that q justice had as much juris.
dictiop as q district court. Once
shooting scrape occurred in the town
ship and the culprit was brought be-
fore the Squire for preliminary exam
ination. After listening to the argu-
ments, the Squire ordered the prisoner
to stand up. He then said: "Mr.
Prisoner it is the sentence of this
Court that you be hanged by the neck
until dead, dead, dead" Turning to
the constable, the Squire said: "Take
this prisoner outside and hang him to
the tree in the yard. There is rope
halter in my buggy" The constable
made move for the prisoner, aid
then the Squire, taking a second
thought, said: "Mr. Constable, Iguess
you had better not hang the prisoner
until we see whether his victim dies. !"

Seven Days Fighting Left the Eoer POSI-
tiOn Intact-Generai Butler Sends a
List OF Casualties-Cry in England
Now Is For More Troops-Meihu.no on
Bocr raIor and Strategy.
LONDON CBy Cahle).-The War ONCE Fri
day posted the following dispatch from
General Butler, dated Spearman's Camp:
General Warren's garrison, am sorry
to say, find this morning had in the night
abandoned Spiou Kop."
General Butler also reported that the
British casualties on the day after the TAX
ing of Spion Kop, were: KiIlcd-oflcers, six;
non-commissioned officers and men, eight
cen; wounded-oHicers,tw twelve; non-com-
missioned officers and men, 142; missing,
thirty-one men, making a total OF 209.
The killed include Colonel Buchanan
RiddelI, OF tho Kings Rosal Rifles. He
served in the Niger war OF 1881.
Seven days Of lighting left the main Boer
positions intact and General BulIer's army
7O6 men weaker, according to the official
casualty lists. which seemingly do not In
cIude the SpioD Kop losses. rs those last
forwarded do not mention General Wood
gates wounding.
England is possessed by u depressing
sense OF failure, although not u word In
criticism OF her generals and soldiers i ut
tered. Not much effort Is made h place
happy construction upon General Bullar's
bare eighteen words telling OF the Retire
ment from Spion Kop, and there is an uu-
easy IMPRESSION abroad that worse news Is
yet to come.
Spencer Wilkinson. in the Morning Post,
writes ~ follows OF the Spton kop loss:
This Is a serious matter, and an attempt
will not here be made TO minimiZs it, foe
no greater wrong can bs done to oar peo-
ple ut home than to miSlead them about
the significance OF !:o events OF the war.
The right way is to tell tho truth US far as
we know il.
The transport ASsaye has arrived ut Clpo
Town with 2l27 officers and men. The
first portion OF tho Seventh Division IS
afloat. Hence, with the 20, ,0Go m,n ot this
division and about 1900 others now ut sen,
it lies in the power OF Lort Roberts 10 re-
inforce G eneral BuIler heavily. Thls
course Is advised by several military
writers.
Although England's nerves nre severely
tried, her courage rs absolutely uushaken.
and probably nothing that can happen in
South Africa will change In the slightest
degree her inten iCus. Sue will continue
to receive bad news, f 1t comes, with Dig
nity, and will maintain her determination
to win ut last.

THE TIGER AND OTHERS.

Tammany Hall is not an organiza-
ton for the promotion of piety and
does not pretend to be. Yet, if facts
black as 1t is painted. For several
generations it has been held up to
public reprobation as the consumma-
ton of corrupt ring rule in politics.
Its enemies have been it's historians.
and naturally it has accumulated a
surplus of unsavory reputation.
y little closer examination will show
that Tammany is better, not worse,
than the average political machine in
the larger cities. New York is better
governed to-day. in every essential re-
spect, than either Philadelphia or Chi
cago. 1t is not openly and Shameless
~ pillaged by its government as is
Philadelphia, in which the city officials
arc interested in the concerns that
make the sewerage, paving ana light
ing contracts n riot of loot. New
York's elections are comparatively free
from the police intimidation and fraud
that make both the primaries and cleo
ton of Philadelphia a travesty on the
free ballot. Despite the great cutlery
there is less evidence of collision be-
tween the police ana dive keepers in
New York than in Chicago, While in
the latter actual overt violence in
crime makes the life and purse of the
citizen insecure. When the press of
the city made protest at the wholesale
hcld-ups that nightly occurred the
Chief of the Police calmly replied that
citizens should carry revolvers and
shoot the foot-pads. Nobody will con
tend. If he know anything of the facts.
tnat any such condition obtains under
Tammany rule in New York.
Judged by ideal standards, Tammany
is easily made the object of virtuous
Indignation; when measured against
the political machines OF other cities
it appears to be about the best of the
lot. As every large city is ruled by
political machine. the latter is the only
iair or practical way of judging Tam
many. II rs the opinion of unpreiu-
diced men that, under the spur Of pub
lie sentment and its sense Of pOliti-
cai cHpedienoy, Tammany keeps Now
York up to as high measu.c of de-
cency and morality as the city is will
inr to stand for, and actually Dies
more to suppress vice and crime than
could any organization shat would
take It's place, in case of its defeat at
the polls. 1t is this fact that makes
Tammany so nearly invincible in mu-
nicipal elections in New York city. a
large part of the lndcpcn Int vote re-
CARDS Tammany rule as about the best
the city can have.
