Twelve Amalgamated Men Create a
Sensation at South Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 20.-A decided sensa-
ton was created among the steel
workers in the Illinois Steel mills at
South Chicago when IL of the Anal
gamated men quit work and decided
to join the general strike Of the steel
workers. These men heretofore have
steadfastly refused to obey President
Shaffer's order to strike. AS soon as
Vice President Davis of the Fourth
district was informed of the step
these men had taken he wired Presi-
dent Shaffer that II he would come to
Chicago at once and call a joint meet
ing of the two local lodges the re-
mainder Of the 500 Amalgamated
men employed in the South Chicago
mills could be induced to strike.

even less, was put up, Mr.. Hixon said
that he thought that ne knew where
$50, 600 more could be secured, to take
a temporary issue of bonds to start the
building of the road There would
still be $50, 600 to $40, 600 of real estate
on hand, and having the road partly
built with the cash, the company
would be in a position to go to bond
house and talk business. If the road
proved winner, the subscribers
would get interest on the money. In
varibly inside residence property goes
down where an electric car line is
built and outlying property goes up.
The company would make money out
of it's outlying real estate. If the lat
ter advanced fifty per cent, the sub
scribers would get their stock at fifty
cents on the dollar, and if it advanced
a hundred per cent, they would get
their stock for nothing. The issue of
bonds ought to take up the temporary
issue of $50, 900 and build the line to
the lakes, The bond holders could be
given the right to vote the unsub-
scribed 800, 900 of stock for five years,
after which it could be given to the
original subscribers An engineer has
estimated that 500, 600 would equip five
miles of road, including the power
house.
Mayor Petersen said that previous
estimates were that the line would cost
$40, 900 mile.

Twenty one negroes arrived here

Judge Wilcox has often, from the
Bench, expressed his regret that our
statutes do not provide for corp
oreal punishment. The Judge has
generally had reference to young
boys who have gone astray and who
possibly might have been reclaimed
to the path OF virtue after an intro.
duction t. bamboo stick or "cat."
The "old" countries abandoned
corporeal punishment msny ye ars
ago, and everyone OF them has re-
turued to the old method again, and
statistics show that corpofsals pun
ishment has a far better deterrent
effect than imprisonment or fines.
La England nearly every judge has
communicated with the Home Sscre-
tary, urging him TO bring before
Parliament law which will enable
Judge to punish certain offsnses
by fogging. The off snses which the
learned judges thiuk ought to be
met with corporeal punishment are
mostly those OF violent assaults,
brutal behavior, aud assaults on wo-
men The only State in the Union
which still npholds corporeal pun.

relating to the matter are SO an.

repeal the whole law relating TO

vides for Aogging in public square,
because the wise old fathers of the
day when the law was made thought
that publicity would add to the
shame of the offender. Now the
Delaware people feel ashamed OF
law which allow such a public exhi-
bition. We believe, however, that

FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE.

While certain cliques OF holy men
in New York aud Honolulu have de-
cided to make their respective cities
"good" through legislation, and are
devising ways and means to sup
press vice with capital W our
neighbors in San Francisco have
come to the conclusion that Vice
cannot be legislated out OF existence
and that people will not be "good,"
never mind how many laws you
make and how many policemen you
employ, and San Francisco has
come to the conclusion to let Vice
10 ahead as long as it pays certain
tribute to the city treasury. We
who have lived in the mo lel cities
in Europe where prostitution is IL
eensed and under government sup-
ervisiou, can we'll understand the
step taken by San Francisco. 1t
would be un-American to adopt the
European system, but we believe
that many of the wise men in San
Francisco would have preferred the
license policy to the proposed me-
thods which really have the flavor
of blaokguardism and extortion at
tached to them. 1t is an object
lesson, however, to our local fana.

When everything gets in running
order we have no doubt that the
new cemetery at Pearl City will be
an acceptable burying ground. At
the "three cornered" funeral Wednes
day several annoying defects we're
noticed bat in due time they will be
remedied. There was only one
wagon for the conveyance OF the
bodies from the train, the funeral
car being appropriately named
CharoD, to the graves and
and while one departed" was being
attended to the others had to All
dure a tedious wait. 1t was too
much like in barber shop where
men sit stlessly scowling at each
other and waiting for the welcome
word next" The ma1 who pulls
the wagon should be dress
ed properly aud throw some
dignity in the exercise OF his
function. 1t is not pleasant t. see
the remains OF those you loved in
this world being hauled along by
an Asiatic in dirty working clothes.
1t jars on the feelings Of those who
see something solemn and yet
beautiful in the ceremony attending
the laying away of the clay OF our
beloved. 1t takes the poetry out OF
tbs situation by having Japanese
sweating Charon in dirty cloth es
asking for toll before his boat wit
rubber tires, which fall of, crosses
the Styx. The graves prepared
for the three collins brought
down were too narrow at the bot
tom and there was delay while the
error was rectifed. We mention
simply these matters in the interest
of the Hawaiian Cemetery Associa-
tion which undoubtedly wishes tc
do all in its power to suit the pecu.
