= The Chinese Puzzle.

The United States, actuated by what
are deemed to be the interests of human
ity, has appealed to the Powers not to
let the negotiations at Peking come to
naught through failure to invoke
agencies other than the Ministers mt the
Chinese capital for settlement Of the
great questions in issue. Not being
ashamed to express the opinion that the
negotiations appear to be in danger OF
failing this Government asks the Powers
IL they will not say what they think
about taking the subject out Of the
hands Of the Ministers, who, having
suffered indignities at the hands of the
Chinese, are not able to consider the
matter in an entirely judicial manner.

Modern Barbarisn.

The custom Of burning people at the
stake in punishment for heinous crimes
seems to be spreading. Heretofore it
has been confined almost exclusively
to the South. But out in Colorado lately
negro boy. aged sixteen years, was
chained to an iron post and burned to
death amid the most horrible agonies
The wood was piled up to his knees and
were horrible beyond description. The
screams and contortions Of the victim
who writhed and prayed and pleaded to
be shot, were certainly not edifying TO
the three hundred men who witnessed
the tragedy. He had committed a
terrible crime, the assault and murder
of little girl aged eleven years But
this fact in itself proved that he was a
physiological monstrosity, a degenerate
without human instincts. The theory
probably is that by infiicting inhuman
punishment upon one Of this class Of
creatures others might be terrorized
and prevented iron committing similar
crimes. The theory is not good You
cannot cure cruelty and brutality by
setting examples Of still greater cruelty
And those Intellectual freaks who are
capable of committing such crimes ar Q
as insensible 10 terror as 10 other senti-
ments. You might as well burn a tiger
or hyena at the stake with the idea Of
deterring other tigers and hyenas from
pursuing the instincts which prompt
them to kill men and rob graves. The
negroes who are capable of committing
these crimes probably never see n news
paper or even hear Of these bnrnings mt
the stake. The only effect then IS TO
demoraliZe the men who take part, and
to some extent all who read about it,
Beside 1t lessons our respect for the
majesty Of the law, and scandalizes the
whole country. giving foreign nations
| the notion that we are n half barbarouH
people. And too, in these basty execu-
| tions by a furious mob there is always
danger Of executing the wrong person
'Rhis is not an age for burning people at
the stake. Spirit
