platforms declared in favor Of arbi
~tration but the New York platform
not only fails to refer to the arbi
%tration plank Of these platforms, but
it fails to write a new plank covering
that subject.
"The laboring men are also trying
to secure an eight-hour day. but the
New York platform is silent on this
subject.
THE laborlng men are trying to Sc.
cure the abolition Of government by
injunction. Both the Chicago and
Kansas City platforms contained
planks on this subject, but the New
York platform lodges this, as it does
all other vital questions.
Tariff Issue Evaded.
"On the tariff question no issue is
Joined. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that on this question, at least, some
thing would be said, but Mr.. Hill and
Mr.. Parker seem to be as much afraid
of the tariff question as other issues.
The money question is ignored en-
tirely. No reference is made to BIZ
metallism at any ratio-not even to
international bimetallism to which Mr..
Hill seemed to be so attached in the
Chicago convention. No reference is
made to the measure now before con-
gress to melt almost Goo, 900 900 legal
tender silver dollars into a subsidiary
coin that is only a limited legal ten

currency, which is a part of the
scheme of the financiers. Nothing is
said about the Aldrlch bill. which pro,
poses to substitute the banks into OPP
position to tax reduction by loaning
them the surplus money in the treas
ury There is no condemnation of the
corruption that such a system would
lead to. The platform does not an
tagonize the proposition now before
congress to give the national banks
unlimited control over the volume of
paper money. In other words, there
is not a line in the platform that is
written in behalf of the people; not
a line that will excite criticism in
Wall Street.
"The platform ignores the income
tax; it fails to indorse the election of
senators by direct vote and also omits
the plank of the Kansas City platform
%denouncing corporate domination in
politics.
Platform Is Dishonest.
"The New York platform is a dis

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Federal Judge in Georgia Knocks Out
County Chain Gangs.

Judge Emory Speer, United States
District Judge of the Western Division
of the Southern District of Georgia,
rendered decision at Macon, Ga,
Tuesday. which may have a far reach
ing effect Throughout the Union. 1t
involves the authority of municipal
courts to sentence violators OF munich
pal ordinances to local chain gangs.
Judge Speer held that City Recorders
had no right to find persons guilty or
innocent and sentence them to a chain
gang for such trivial offenses as are
within the jurisdiction of police
magistrate, and he discharged the
prisoner before him fer the want of
due process of law and because one
man cannot judge infamy. He de-
clared that under the American system
of law the chain gang had no place in
the jurisdiction and procedure of
police courts where the tight of trial
by jury is denied. He scored the
chain gang system and said there was
nothing in all the American or English
authorities to sustain or countenance
such system. 1t was in violation of
the rights guaranteed by the Federal
Constitution. The case was that of
negro named Henry Jamison. who
appealed to Judge Speer on writ of
habeas corpus for release from the
chain gang of Bibb county. The case
originated in the Recorders Court at
Macon.

will crown the meetings before they

has been widening with each service

whipped by Chief of
Police of Albany,
Georgia.

Albany. Ga. June 2S.-Rev. Len G..
Broughton. of Atlanta one of the best
known Baptist ministers in the South,
and Chief of Police r. W. Westbrook,
were the central figures in a sensa
tionaI fight which occurred yesterday
afternoon in barber shop on Broad
street.
The fight was the outcome of charges
preferred against Chief Westbrook in
a sermon by DIR. Broughton in
the Chautauqua Auditorium. DR..
Broughton charged that Mr. Westbrook
was drunkard. and that he could be
found at all hours IN the lowest dives
in the city.
He claimed to have affidavits in his
possession to prove his charges and
said he was ready for an investigation
if one was desired by Mr.. Westbrook.
The sensation of DR.. Broughton and
Mr.. Westbrook was the sole talk of the
reople on the streets of Albany yester-
Cav and fight was freely predicted
should the two men meet.
When the Chief entered the barber
shop yesterday afternoon DIR. Brough-
ton was in a chair, being shaved AS
soon as Mr.. Westbrook saw the minis
ter. he went for him with cowhide.
DR.. Broughton was struck several
times, when friends of the minister
interfered. and hauled the Chief Off.
Four or five hundred people collecte |
quickly in front of the shop. and tor
while it appeared that general
mix-up was imminent.
The affair has caused great .sensa-
ton, and it is freely predicted that
more trouble will result from DR..
Broughton s charges.

The New 0ratory.

When Uncle Joe'' Cannon frankly
told the Republican National COnven-
ton that he had given out for pnbllca--
ton beforehand a prepared speech and
that possibly he might depart from It's
phrases, he presented new phase OF
public speaking which, while uni
versally known among news1 aper men,
has too often been hidden from the
public.
Speaker Cannon's frankness was a
refreshing acknowledgment OF the
power of the press. No speaker now
adays expects the audience which sits
in front of him to be the limit OF MS
influence. Intnitesimal indeed would
be the practical effect of any speech
were such the case.

not only decapitated, but their hands
and feet were also cut off. after which
the mutilated body was exposed in a
public place for three days.
Since 1895, the death penalty has been
usually carried out without corporal
punishment anterior to the execution,
and torture has been formally abolish
ed. The present law provides that exc
cutions take place within closed doors,
in a retired room within the prison.
Criminals convicted of political crimes
are beheaded. while executions for
crimes of common right are by stran-
gulation. The gallows was introduced
into Korea by Clarence r. Greathouse
of San Francisco. while he was legal
advisor to that Government.
Witnesses are still thrown into prison
in Korea together with the condemned
criminals, but new code is about to
be promulgated (the code Penal de
la Korea" drafted by the present
learned legal advisor. M. Cremazy)
which will abolish this last legal bar
barity.
The legal adjustment of barbarity in
Korea does not. however, necessarily
imply the actual disappearance of
primitive cruelties. Though torture. as
said above, was legally abolished in
1895, it Is still practiced to a great ex-
tent even in the prisons Of Seoul. and
it is the common rule in the interior.
Another vestige OF barbarity which is
also met with in the interior is expo
sure Of the bodies. At present there
seems to be general tendency, all
over Korea. to revert to the old GUS
toms regarding punishments.
In conclusion it may be said that
Korea now has an elaborate and thor
oughly modern legal machinery-on
paper-but the provisions Of its codes
are daily violated. not only by the
grossly corrupted officials. but even by
tacit consent OF the reigning monarch.
