PINE APPLES.
Tremendous Increase in Receipts at
 Mobile.
Mobile Register,

chbulit HFElSICF.
 Ten cars of pineapples went north over the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Tuesday. this being the first shipment of the season. The fruit came from Cu5a, and Was very fine.
 Those interested in the shipping and buying of fruit m large scale have been actively working during the past year to increase the pine apple shipments achieved success, as the indications are will be extremely large. On all the roads out of the city there will he some thing over i,000 carloads of pineappics, and many estimate it at 1.50o. This Is a tremendous increase over all previous years.
 In connection with the increased ship ments of all manner of fruit and Vegcta- bleS from Cuba. one of the well-nformcd railroad men of the city stated yesterday that the in reuse was largely due tn thN fact that large numbers of Am "ican people have ben securing foothold and tilling the soil of that country Those people know the markets know how to expedite shipments. and know when to ship to get the best prices. The fruit in dustry of Cuba will be something crurm- ous. the conditions are all favorable to its extension. and with the distance covered so swiftly as 1t Is between Ha- vaan and Mobile there is less danger in shipping by steamer than there would be by rail for an equally long voyage and especially when d transfer and reship- ment Is necessary. The docks from now on will be active with fruit business brought from Cuban soil.

A SERMON IN A LINE.

A single line in recent issue of The 6t Lotus Post-Dispatch is almost a ser mon Of itself. It reads: When voting to protect the city from steals" This warning is addressed to voters of all parties, or of no party. It refers to the candidates of both or all parties. It does not tell the voters to select the candidate who will protect the city. but the one wllo IS most likely" to do so. It as- sunes that all parties are equally bad in that city. and that all must be watch sd. It gives no assurance that honest candidates are to be found. but only ad- vists voters to get those who are least dishonest or who give hope of being somewhat less venal than others
 The city of St. Louis has lately deyel- oped character which renders it almost worthy to be classed with New York and Philadelphia in their most corrupt days. Bribery. corruption and almost every other form or character of rascal lty have become so open and so notori- pus that even those who have hereto Tore closed their eyes and ears and pinched their nostrils have been com pelled to take some note of what IS goinr, on. When things are at their worst. thev begin to mend' we are told, and perhaps the time has come in St. Louis when the snending process is to begin, and if ia certainly high time.

Monument for Attila.

 Now that Atilla has been found. the next thing in order is to start a subscrip- ton fund to build a monument at his grave. Nothing, perhaps. could hc more appropriate. This is monumental age and the people of this country arc a monumental people. The fund should be raised and the monument ererted at once {; since delay might be followed by as great misfortune as the world has gone through in losing tho identity of the spot where tho bones of the great heather rested in peace for over fourteen centuries. If nee essary The Advertiser might start the subscription at it's office. and by calling on the other large dailies for help the work will he just as good as done The monument will be built, and the world will not hereafter he veXatiously tearing it's hair in dread that Attila'S S grave may again be lost.

THE READING OUT PROCESS.

We like that remark recently made by Hon. J. L. McCaskill of Mississippi. ''The latter day champions of Mir Bry- Democratic party. but one thing certain, they cannot read me out of the Confed- crate Veterans Association or out os the Presbyterian faith" He might have couldn't read him out of his party. A real "hard-shell' Democrat is about as firmly liked in his principles as is q rock-ribbed Presbyterian, and is not to be or religion They mightA form new party or a new church and Nave him out. but that wouldn't cause him to change his politics or his faith. MT. McCaskilI said he was so firmly fixed in his religious faith and in his Confederate record that, as he expressed it. my only danger at present lies in being forced to take a back seat politically until tho present era of hero worship has passed and Bryan. ism has been succeeded by a return of I"o' ueBlee ol redsoh tldt marked the action of the Democratic party when 1t scoi ed the only successes attained in a period of nearly forty years.'
 We really think the old veteran is safe all around. This reading out business Is going to prove very unprofitable sport to some who are so free to indulge in it. It might be kept up till those who have been read out will be the Democratic party and the small remainder will find themselves out in the cold The assum- acy of some of the extremists would be amusing were 1t not that 1t may disgust good Democrats and lead them to lose interest in a political organization run by self righteous political Pharisees

WHIPPING IN SCHOOL

Out in Kansas City they have had d somewhat interesting mix-up growing out of a difference of opinion as to the right of a teacher in the public schools to whip a pupil. A few years ago there was a very serious affair in one of the schools. and as a result a rule was adopted by the school authorities forbid ding teacher to whip pupil without the written consent of the parent or guardian, In at least two cases within
 th@ past twelve months teachers have been arrested for violating this rule, but

| in each case they were sustained by tn
 Board of Education and fully reinstate, in their positions.
 Times have changed sn many respect,
 since you and I were young. Maggie and in few things has the change beer ] more marked than in school methods oi discipline. The writer of this has a feel
 ing recollection of the impressions
 made on him by good switch yielded by teacher to whom Solomon's provert ,, about sparing the rod was looked on al soicmnly binding. In truth, whipping was in those days considered as much | part of the curriculum as the spelling book was, and the male pupils, espe- cially, would have thought the end of all things was nigh at hand if there had been no whipping.
 Certainly there was too much corporal punishment in those days. In some in- stances the only effect of much whipping was to brutalize the pupil, while in otker cages we know that small scholars were kept in such state of mortal terror that they learned nothing Their entire be, ing was a constant dread of punish- ment. This condition of the early edu- cation system was in many respects brutal, but has not the pendulum swung too far the other way? If pupil knows that the teacher dares not punish him without the written consent of parent or guardian, can proper discipline be en- forced and maintained? There are boys who can be much more easily controlled by moial suasion than by corporal pun ishment, but there are others on whom it will have no more effect than pouring water on a duck. As The Kansas City Journal says:
 Judges and Senators have risen to gr ca = ness, heroes attained undying fame and patriotic statesmen achieved the White House and immortality, who in their youth We're made to realize the living truth in that good old adage which reads "Spare the rod and spoil the chlld.'
