TWO REFORMS IN CHINA.
Barbarous Punishments and Use of
Torture in Court Are
Abolished.

The state department at Washington
lately received notice of two important
reforms made by the Chinese govern
| ment.
The reforms were the result of the la
oors of a commission on the revision
of the criminal code, of which Whiting
| fang, former Chinese minister to the
United States, was the head. The first
| 7dict abolishes cruel forms Of punish
nent, and the second ends the use OF
torture in the courts.
Alter pointing out the fact that the
present system of administering justice
IS not in harmony with the original in
entioh of the imperial house. the first
adict reads:
Now that the laws are being revised,
Te decree that herceforth the severest
'orm of punishment for capital offenses
shall be immediate decapitation. The
three forms of punishment known as
dismemberment, exposure of the heal
and beheading the corpse are hereby
abolished forever. The sentences of dis
memberment and exposure of the head,
provided for in the present laws are
hereby changed to imme diate decapita-
zion. Crimes to be punished by imme-
late decapitation shall be punished by
immediate strangling; those punished
oy immediate strangling shall receive
sentence of strangling after the autumn
assize, provided the investigation at the
autumn a.sne shall show the facts to be
az alleged. Sentences to decapitation
after the autumn assize are changed to
'trangulation after the autumn assize,
and criminals sentenced to strangula-
lion after the autumn assize are still
20 be allowed an investigation at the said
Assjze and to have sentence carried ont
n CON muted as the facts shall show. AS
0 the provisions fer the punishment Of
a"cc1s ories in crime, while punishment
IS still to be inflicted according to the
circumstances of the case, such PERSONS
are entirely relieved from the rCnalty
Of branding. which is hereby abolished
In addition to the fore going, we con-
ma-d the aforesaid vice president (Wu-
Firg-farg) and those associated with
aim to consider carefully what further
changes and excisions may be neces- 7
sary."
The second edict is entitled, Imperial
Edict Abolishing Torture in the Courts
Of Law" After showing the prevailing |
use Of torture to secure evidence, ard |
decrying its evils, the edict says:
Now since we have approved the |

above mentioned. let them be published

w, our little chimney corner spell
called for "jacking lp," and we got it.
We were informed that instead of 1.-TWO
direct" lines between Columbia and Mt.
Pleasant there were -four" but we
were not informe2 that two of these
lines we're "long distance" lines, which,
BY the way, we understand is the case
We were informed some three or four
months eince that the company had but
two lines to Columbia, and this infor-
nation came from a valued employee
and operator of the Mt Pleasant board;
and we have no reason to doubt the
statement; for upon complaint to thu
operator we were told that more lines
we're certainly net ded, and it was the
operators wish that there we're more
lines. We we're asked while being
"jacked up why the local managers
we're not consulted before preparing such
an article for the press. The reason is
frankly this: We had the information
from one, and more than one, that 1.-TWO
lines was the correct number, and that
the other TWO lines we're for "long dis
tance' service, and how could we be ex-
pected to go to those who would rather
not have the public know that there
we're only the two lines to Columbia for
local uses? The operators are the ones
with whom we deal every day. They
are instructed to be courteous IN the
treatment of all patrons, as prompt in
the service as possible, and they are, as
rule, all of this. We have no fault to
find along that score. Now, if any one
knows the situation referred to, the OPP
orator certainly does. II we are told by
the operator that there are two lines"
to Columbia, when we have asked for
the number, the president and whole
board of directors of the Cumberland
Telephone and Telegraph Company
would find it q task to make US believe
otherwise. We want to saw right here
that ere the close of the day upon which
this article was penned we were told by
an operator that there were 1.-TWO lines >
to Columbia. This operator, perhaps,
has not been 'posted." Now watch out
from headquarters for an ''edict" to all
employees Of the company mot to give
out any information whatever regarding
the facilities Of the company to handle
the service for it's patrons.

of the people satisfied. Let all the vice.
roys and governors concerned issue
strict orders to their subordinates con-
scientiously to exert themselves to carry
this edict into effect and from time to
time make careful investigation. Should
any be found who, while outwardly eb-
serving, are secretly disobeying t4e
edict treading the old path of malprac-
tice, let them be at once impeached.
There must be no shielding Of them nor
any attempt to save their faces. Let
each be diligent. and give earnest atten-

so fulfill the purpose of the throne to
have compassion upon the lowly and to
tighten their punishments. Let this
