The joke is ON them. Tammany in
control again is proving to be somewhat
straightlaced. The town Is not Wide
open. The authorities have adopted, and
are enforcing, strict regulations. Gam
blers are not being coddled. Barroome
and "trotteries" are closely watched, and
night life generally 10 under restraint.
This is at once good business and good
politics. 1t is particularly good poll
tics. Tammsny has learned something
from its long stay in the wilderness. It
does not want to 60 back there, aad it
sees the necessity-for q time at least
of right conduct.

South Carolina.

The SENATORIAL hope springs eternal in
Cole Rleasa's breast. It il assin in mo-

Carolina, undiseouraged BY past Aisap'

Mr.. Tillman wants another term. His

looks good to him. Whether it looks
better by reason Of Gov. Rlease's as

His present duties are multitudinous and

At one time it vas suggested that the

made it plain than that he could not a.

Talk Of Mr.. MeAdoe for President

(s) that 10 will DO strong enough to con-
troll the Aext democrats national con-

"Tank. tank, who's got the tank?"
That was the unconscious cry Of thou
sands who focked from all parts OF
Washington last Sunday to see the Brit
ish tank cavort in Rock Creek valley.
1t was one of the biggest field days
the city has ever seen. The corner OF
4 th street and Columbia road Is a city,
wide objective every Sunday afternoon,
as far as that goes. on account Of the
Zoo. But last Sunday had anything
beat for crowds in the memory of the
oldest Inhabitants of that vicinity. Peo-
pie streamed from every direction. all
headed for the Connecticut Avenue
bridge and the Calvert street bridge.
Everybody wanted to see the tank.
and nobody knew where 1t was. They
waded In mud to the banks of the val
ley: they stood for hougs on the two
bridges; they went down the narrow
Street bridge: they hunted the tank
high and low.
For every two who finally saw that
strange iron monster at least two failed
to see it. There were 10000 pairs Of
white shoes covered with mud, at a con.
sentative estimate.
Two women stood at the side Of
road in the valley.

Corporal Punishment had been neio

great struggle. Ono Of these was that
often-discussed topic Of corporal pun

Star Of April Fl, 1858. II an observa-
ton on this subject az follows:
THE advocates of corporal punish
mena say that 1t is essential to enforce
the teachers authority. On the other
hand. It is urged that the dread Of ex-
pulsion is quite suiiicient to main
tain discipline, and that IL children are
ents will generally enforce obedience.
What can be done by moral suasion
backed up by the fear Of expulsion is
shown by tho conduct Of public school
children when attending Sabbath
school. Every child knows. that there
is no possibility of any punishment
perintendent even complete silence Is
the result. On week days these same
children are whipped: how can they be
controlled on Sunday? Again. the boys
who are whipped in school behave per-
fectly we'll in the parlor during an
evening party. The time Is likely to
come whom the infiction of bodily
punishment In the presence OF well
bred scholars assembled to gain
knowledge will be looked upon as the
same act would now be Judged II

guests, in a ballroom, in an opera

In that region, also, many outcrop--

Indeed. the seologist has been able to
