THE RETURN TO BARHARlsM.


 From the Washington Evening Star.
 The stake has taken the place of the halter and the bullet as the instrument of the mobs vengeance in dealing with the crime of rape. For a time the halter suffioed. Then came the flourish of emp tying the guns present into the body of the wretch. From that, by natural prog ression, the stake was reached, and the stake now has the call. The mob which would go back to the milder means of execution would incur the reproach of squeamishness and humanity. It would be bad form. No self-respecting mob could afford to make the record. We may ex- pect. then. while fury rules and the law is in eclipse repetitions of the scene re- ported from Georgia in this mornings dispatches. The latest fashion Is followed even in crime.
 Has anything been gained by this change of punishment? Apparently not. The crime for which 1t is meted out con- tinues, while an increasing callousness and desperation may be noted in the brutes who commit 1t. Last week in Ala bama the prisoner begged for his life as he was being led to the stake. In this Georgia case few days later the prison CT was as unmoved as a red Indian would have been and denied to his ex- ecutioners even the slight satisfaction of a sob. He surveyed the scene with eyes wide open and died without groan.
 Has anything been lost by this change of punishment? Much, we may be very
 
 biity cannot yield to savage instincts without paying heavy penalty. They cannot profit attempt to protect woman hood by brutalizing themselves. How much progress downward has been made is seen by the proposition of this Georgia mob that the unhappy woman, whose fate Is worse than death, should light the faggots around her ravisher's body. Wretched beyond the power of language to describe, she was yet true to the great est feeling which inspires her sex, and she shrank from the appalling suggestion. But those who had gathered to avenge her fate. her neighbors and associates. drunk with passion, thought her capable l of the act.
 This is by very great odds the gravest problem with which this country has to deal It Is not southern. but a national. problem. These fires have been lighted in number of states. and their smoke has attracted the attention of the civil ized world. 1.-The United States, indeed. is the only nation claiming the respect of civilization where such scenes are en- acted. What is the remedy? How shall 1t be applied? How much longer will it be unless remedy is found and applied before our respect for law and order and our right to the respect of the world are seriously impaired?

GOOD REASON.
.phia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
 It has been suggested that had the Spanish fleet gotten away from Santia- go Sampson would have been willing to let Schley take the blame. In answer to this the Sampson partisans say that Sampson would not have been to blame, because he had planned the action and would have been responsible for its fail- urs.
 No doubt Sampson would have been to blame had the engagement resulted disas- trously-that is-, had the Spanish fleet proved superior to the American. For Sampson was not only absent himself, but had taken away the only vessel of the fleet that was nominally equal to the best of the Spanish ships. This could have been no part of the plan for which he claims credit.
 But speculations of this kind are fool ish. Nobody has denied Sampson the credit to which he Is entitled as a gener- ally capable naval commander. It is only when he and his friends attempt to grasp more than he Is entitled to at the ex-. pense of the actual commander who did the hardest fighting that the whole coun- try rises up in indignation. |

Chains to Be Mads in Gadsden.

A tube mill is to be installed al Helena, and the Gadsden Journal IS endeayoring to interest it's readers in the establishment of a chain factory There is not a chain factory In the south and West, where much the greater part of chains are consumed
 We hope the proposed Gadsden plant will be put in. This district needs a chain factory, and 1t may as well De built at Gadsden as at any other place. A chain factory of moderate propor- tions is not necessarily concern or great size or great investment. Gads- den can unaided readily furnish the capital for a plant that will make all the chains needle In the South.
 The Journal shows that the differ ence in the cost of labor in Northern and a Southern mill would drive the Northern produc. out of Southern mar kets. In addition to cheap labor, the proposed mill would have the benefit of cheap fuel and cheap iron and steel, and also cheap freights to Southern points.
 Let Gadsden gather her forces of progress together and build a chain mill that will be credit to the South ern country. The town can can do 1t and the best wishes of this district at least will be behind the project, anc perhaps something more.

CORN GOES UP.
From the Chicago Tribune.

It was the opinion of the men on the Board of Trade yesterday that September corn was worth 61 cents a bushel and De cember corn GA cents. The estimate of the department of agriculture that the drouth has lessened the crop by from 650.- 900, 900 to $50, 900 bushels has had an eff feet on prices which will be gratifying to all the farmers who have been lucky enough to raise corn. They can cotem- plate with some philosophy the less for tunate conditions of those who have no corn.
 The secretary of agriculture says that 'the weather of the future will have much to do with regard to the final yield" No doubt this Is so, but the weather of the future, no matter how excellent 1t may be. can make good only a little of the harm which has been done by the weather of the past It is settled now beyond all controversy by the exhaustive reports of the agents of the department of agriculture that corn, oats and pota- toes have suffered severely. There has been a fine wheat crop, for which there will be a good market abroad, but that does not make amends to Illinois for the fact that the estimated corn crop this year will fall 156, ,00o0 900 bushels below that of last year. It was not supposed that this state was going to suffer so se- verely. There has been a great outcry about losses in Kansas and Missouri, but nothing has been said about those in Illinois.
 Now that Hvhf 1Aoc no the situation. and the worst is known, 1t may be taken for granted that the prices of corn products will go up. The distillers have already said they are go- ing to charge more for whisky. The glu- cose and starch manufacturers may be expected to follow suit

 Hartford men have passed Christmas in the remote hooks of the world and the experiences of number of them have been described in the Times, par ticularly of Klondikers who spent the day amid snow and ice in the frozen land of gold. As strange as the expe- rience of any of these was that of Hen ry B. Beach, the staunch and sturdy manufacturer, now veteran of eighty four who celebrated Christmas on an uninhabited island beyond Tierra del Fuego with no companions but birds from the Antarctic and a savage wolf hound. In his office, this morning, Mir. Beach told the tale.
 In his youth Mr. Beach was far from the sedate man which he now is, He had so strong a desire to go to sea that his family finally consented, to prevent his running away, At the age of six
