Another brutal flogging has taken
place in prison life-this time il
Florida and the victim is a boy
sixteen years OF age. The mother
has addressed an open letter to the
Governors of Georgia and Florida,
detailing the affair and demands in
vestigation. The youth left his home
in Milledgeville, Georgia, and landed
at Gainesville, Florida, where he was
convicted of a trifiing offence and
turned over TO a convict lessee. Not
being able to do the hard labor OF a
man he was held by two colored men
and horrible beaten by the foreman,
from which he died. This is the
mothers side OF the incident. There
may be prison side, but granting
that there is, the death of the youth, if
itreally resulted from the excessive
beating, shows a brutality on the
part OF the keeper that should be
severely punished, and it cries loudly
for prison reform that demands i'm
mediate attention.

A meeting closed in Essex county last

purpose OF inducing proiessed Christians
TO come up to the altar, and by prayer
to seek for the second blessing.

WHERE AN OPPORTUNITY LIES.

The Washington Post, always
sound on the question of finance, sees
in that issue a chance for the Demo
cratic Party to achieve success. Dis
cussing Senator Daniels latest state
ment in regard 10 financial legisla-
ton the Post, after agreeing that
tlsre il q doubt as TO the enactment
Of such legislation, delivers the fol
lowing good advice to the Democrats
in Congress:
Let the Democrats in Congress take the
lead in financial reform on the gold basis;
let them present safer, sounder, more
carefully conservative measure than any
that the Republicans in either House
present; let them thus come home and
all viii be forgiven" home out OF
the fog and malaria of more than gen
GRAFTON OF financial heresy let them get
10 front OF the Earring Republican factions
by turning their backs on the follies oi
their past and showing how the neediul
work of currency reform ought TO be ac-
eomplished. That is the way TO bid for
victory in 1904.
THERE'S much to ponder over in
the above paragraph. Retrospect
lively it recalls to Democracy the dis
agreeable memories OF by-gone days
and campaigns when its position on
the currency question was about as
unsound as cracked dish, but point
ing to the future it reveals an oppOr-
tunity for the party TO execute n
coup. The time has long since passed
when the Democratic party could
hope to accomplish results by oppo-
sition only. Too long the party has
dallied in constant opposition to Re-
publican measures without giving to
the country an original, safe and
conservative plan OF its own for cur
rency reform. Az the Post remarks,
the accepted time is near. The Re
publicans are hopelessly divided on
this omnipresent question and De-
mocracy may gain new life and origin
by assuming a conservative posi-
tion, not to mean, however, simple
opposition to Republican policies,
but showing to the country deter
mination to solve the riddle of finance.
Along that road lies success.

An interesting case was tried in
the police court OF st. Louis Monday
ia which the rights OF the Street Can
Company and those of the citizen
were involved. A citizen named
Warden on Saturday night desired
to board q street ear, but the motor
man refused to stop his ear Finally,
as a last resort, Warden drew his re-
volver and compelled a motorman
to stop and boarded the car. \ war
rant was obtained against Warden
for drawing his pistol and threaten-
ing to use it on the motorman, and
was brought before Judge Tracy on
Monday morning. After a thorough
investigation OF the case, Warden
was discharged on the ground OF JUS
tification. The Judge added that
any ootorman who left passengers
standing on the corners would he
fined to the extent of the law, be-
cause citizens had rights paramount
to those OF a street car company.
Notwithstanding the public may
agree with Tracy, no doubt many
street car employees will dissent, as
many OF them act as il their rights
were unrestricted.
