Automatic Whipping Posts?
From the New York Herald.

1t is an interesting suggestion, but we
fear not a rrecticable one. that is made
in the columns of letters from Herald
readers this rcrning-the establishment
of automatic whipping posts in the
schoo'houses ord jails Some years age

body who speculated in stocks at one
time or another expressed a wish that he
could kick himself" invented an auto
matte kicking machine, into which any
one SO disposed could drop nickel and

was protest against even this self-in-
fiicted puniShme mt. and we are sure that
public sentiment will never permit the

Against Hearst and the republicans Tam
many needed the strongest candidates
available. and the organization demanded
that every member do his duty So when
Fo'ey saw the Nelson signal flying. and
was told that his personal popularity was
needed. he accepted a place on the ticket
This candidacy ras brought the New
York AntiSaloon League into the field
with the following address:
You are hereby notified that the officers
OF the New York Anti-Saloon League
strongly recommend to our league con-
stituents in New York county that they
use diligent effort to oppose and defeat
Tom Foley. the Tammany candidate for
sheriff of New York county. He is not
only a saoonkeeper, but is also one of
the most offensive and politically danger
Gus of sa!oonkeeDcTs. 1t would be folly
for those who favor the enforcement of
law upon the excise question any other
involving moral principle to vote for Big
Tom Foley for sheriff. He should be de-
feated''
One result of this will be to line up the
saloon influence more solidly behind Foley
than ever; and in New York it is consid
cradle. Leader Murphy was once bar
!. keeper as was Tim Sullivan. and much
of Tammany'S most effective work in
every campaign is cut out in the back
rooms of saloons and directed by men
who wear white aprons and mix drinks.
This the temperance people understand.
and it will take tremendous effort to
overcome it
Next winter. it is well known, this
issue will be presented to Congress in its
rational aspect. Precisely the form has
not been devised. But much Roadway
has been made in different states toward
total suppression, or for more rigid con-
troll. of the liquor traffic that Congress in
some way is to be asked to help the
cause along. Temperance. more widely

Cause Of Panic.

Senator Foraker made speech
at Cleveland last week in which be
said: "Our trouble is not due to
the scarcity of currency, for We
have more money and better
money today than ever before. 1t
is not due to over speculation or
inflated prices, for there has not
been any extravaganza III either
respect; it is not due to a con.
spiracy of rich men to bankrupt
the masses and the whole country
for political purposes.
MANY things have contributed
but it was inevitable that sooner
or later we should have some such
experience as We are now having
when We provided by law that the
revenues of over 100000 miles of
railroads, representing more than
Sl4, 900, 100000 of securities, be
turned over to a rate making CON-
mission of seven men sitting in
Washington. The work assigned
to them was an impossibil,ty."
Senator Foraker IS supposed to
be candidate for the presidency
and looks for the support OF the
trusts. He does not say in 80
many words that the presidents
war on the big trusts caused the
panic, but that is about what be
meant.
