Election day, Nov. S.
Those who talk "fight" In state poli
tics now would probably be the first
to run awny it a. fight should occur.
The only fighting Republicans will tol
erate will be directed at the common
enemy.
TV'hlp the Wife-Beaters.
"While the general opinion seem it)
be that Inasmuch as the recommenda
tion of fhe whipping-post far wlfe-
beatere. recently presented by the
IMstrlet of Columbia grand Jury, has
o receive the approval of congress be
fore it can become? effective It will not
be established In 'Washington, the Post
of tthat city argues earnestly for the
experiment's adoption. "Excellent gen
tiemen." it says, "who do not beat
their own wives and who have no fe-
male relative whose husbands beat
them are very fond of declaiming
p.galm.(t the 'brutality of flogging and of
subsequently admiring .themselves as
persona of a sensitive and exalted Iru
inanity. Far removed from the de-
frradfd atmosphere In which such In
ltjutte-s flourish, and hedge.d about from
a.U possible contact with their shameful
consequences, these easy-going phillan.
thropists find no ftort of difflculty in
preaching a gentle, .C not a Jocund dis
pensation. But these are not safe
guides In things outside of their expert
ewe. The truth is that the whipping'
post la no more an attribute of barbar
ism than the dungeon or the gallows.
Our benevolent optimist h not opposed
to either of ithose agencies of law be
cause they -both aipp'7 to crimes df
which he Is keenly aware. He approves
the penltentrary'as a remedy; for those
tvJio threaten (his property, and . the
hangman's noose as a warning to those
who 'would imperil his life. ,He is in
different to the angulsih of the wife and
cMld-beater' vleblms because that
anguish does not touch him personally.
"Th fact remains, however, that the
whipping-post Is an agent of civiliza
tion ralther than a feature of savagery.
Until we can top the bestfal and loath
some crimes that caH for repressive
punishment, ft Is Indispensable that we
apply some remedy, and, obviously, It
ts 'the part of wisdom as wen as of hu
manity to choose the remedy that will
best promote the end in view. We re
sort to solitary confinement, penal
servitude, hanging, etc., in the case of
offetrsefl to wlhlch they seem to be ap
propriate, and perhaps ithey. In their
respective lines, are as efficacious as
any 'human expedients could be. , But
we have not yet found in the prison or
the workhouse even en approach to
adequacy for .the hideous brutality of
vtfe-beatlng and thetorture and degra
'dlaitlon of helpless children. For the
monsters who praottoe these crimes, a
brief term tn he dungeon possesses no
terrors whatsoever. To him It repre
sents rest, food, recuperation, and en
eariy opportunity .to renew his favor
ite Indulgence.
"We must eilther encourage or re
press, either punish or condone these
crimes.. Jf we Would protect women
and children from ithe revolting Infa
mies of which they are now the vic
tims, and redeem society from a bar
barism tha't disgraces It, then we
should confront these monsters with
the only menace that appeals to their
senses. Ruffians, cowards, (brutes, they
fear nothing bu.t pain. They laugh at
he well-fed penance of the Jail. They
regard the prospect of the workhouse
with contemptuous indifference. But
they would shrink from the lash. The
whipping-post would bring home to
them some of theagony and terror they
Inflict on others. If anything may re
strain them it Is the knout."
Of course, all this savors of what
the sentimentalists caill retaliatory Jus
tice. . But whHe we agree that the sur
est, cure, for- crime ia to. remedy its
causes, w-e can perceive no need for
leniency toward apprehended criminal'
.of the type held In mind by advocates
of the whipping-post -Reform their
children, by all means; but give the old
sinners the cowhide.

The Chicago friends of Cuba who are
raising funds to buy arms for the Cu
ban .revolutionists- are advised not; to'
bead their Dfwwsiloa fit re-enforce
ments with a brass band. It might
make Orover mad.
Although the Cuban revolution has
temporarily obscured the Armenian
otiestion It Is well to remember that
Turkey needs disemboweling.
The governor of Texas is a splendid
example of the right man In the right
place.
An International Nuisance.
We do not .see how we can improve
upon' the following pithy and pointed
expression of opinion which we notice
in the Chicago Times-Herald. That ex
cellent Journal puts the whole Cuban
prdblem In the compass of two hundred
words by' saying that "when a citizen
Injures his neighbors by permitting a
nuisance on his premises municipal au
thority may and frequently does in
tervene to suppress It. When any state
tolerates within Its borders a nuisance
offensive or Injurious to a neighboring
state the neighboring state may employ
the methods pointed out by law to com
pel the neighbor to put an end to the
Injury or the offsense. When a sov
ereign government so conducts Its busi
ness of governing as to create and
maintain a nulsanice to other sovereign
governments, other governments,
singly or in co-operation, may take
what steps the laws of nations ap
prove for abatement of an International
nuisance.
"Spain, In the language of law, Is a
nuisance. Decade after decade It
has maintained a nuisance in a
highway of peaceful commerce.. Pe
eade after decade It has promised
to abate the nuisance and has
broken the promise. Decade after dt?
cailo American citizens resident in
Cuba have been injured In their per
son's and property, and there has been
no redress except (by the circuitous
route of .Madrtld. Appeal to that tri
bunal (has 'been 'attended with pro
longed avoidance of conclusions. De
cade after decade the coasts of th
United States have been Infested with
filibusters watching a chance to vio
late our neutrality laws out of Just ani
mosity against a cruel and distant
power oppressing a brave people en
titled to human rights If not to repre
sentative institutions.
"Decade after decade the ships of
citizens or subjects of other countries
have been harassed by Spanish cruisers
near Cuban shores, although Innocent
of fault against the laws of nations.
The nations concerned have a right In
International equity to abate Spanish
misrule in Cuba because that misrule
constitutes an international nuisance.
If other powers out of love for mon
archy decline to co-operate wth us in
abating the nuisance we ought to abate
It ourselves."
Now let President Diaz or some
other good man prevent the Corbett-
Fltzslmmong fight from coming off in
Mexico.
Imperilled fey a Foolish Friend.
According to Senator Pettigrew. of
South Dakota, the votes of the dele
gates from Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Montana, Oregon, Washington and pos
sibly Wisconsin will be cast In the next
Republican national convention for
Senator Cushman K. Davis, of Minne
sota, for president. Mr. Davis, he de
clares, "Is a man of great ability, hon
est, plainspoken and possesses states
manlike qualities of the highest order.
He would make a president who would
be neither a hypocrite nor a fraud, as
our last two presidents have been. He
would not use the veto power to over
ride sthe will of the majority, and his
frien'ls-and-the people would 'always
be sure of his working In their. inter
est. "The senator! from, Minnesota has
never been a temporizer non an ingrate.
He Is. absolutely fearless on all ques
tions, as his course In regard to the
Chicago railway riots proved, and he
has never sacrificed a principle to gain
an end."
If Senator Pettigrew wishes to make
It impossible for Senator Davis, who,
from all accounts, is a deserving man,
to reach to a higher position than that
he now occupies, he will continue to
couple Mr. Davis' candidacy with as
persions on the character of ex-Presl-
dent Harrison, thus arousing the antag
onism of that large element In the Re
publican party which, despite the dis
appointed bosses, believes in General
Harrison's honesty, sincerity and devo
tion to high Ideals of public duty. The
trouble with Pettigrew is that he is
afflicted with a personal grudge, and
lacks the manhood to conceal it at
times when Us ostentatious display is
both ill-bred and Inopportune.
The "weak point" in the Cleveland
administration Is so general that the
best way to deal with it 1s to condemn
the whole thing.
Morbid Sentimentality.
Does It ever occur to the reader that
morbid sentimentality Is alarmingly on
the Increase in this country? That the
tendency to wreathe vice In a halo of
martyrdom seems to be becoming more
popular dally? A few years ago the In
dividual whose hands were stained with
the blood oMnnocence; the cold-blooded
assassin or the man of ungovernable
passions, was considered fortunate In
getting a fair trial before an unbiased
Jury. And when the, verdict was ren
dered little effort was made to thwart
the ends of justice through the medium
of pardon boards or legal technicali
ties. When the Jurymen pronounced
the verdict: ';aullty of murder in the
first degree," the prisoner at the bar
was pretty certain of meeting the pun
ishment provided by law. How Is It
today? The blood of the victim of the
red-handed murderer Is scarcely cold
before hosts of mawkish men and wo
men appear ready to Invest the mur
derer with all the romance that writ
ers of heated imaginations throw about
the hero of a dime novel. The more
causeless and atrocious the crime com
mitted, the greater the admiration of
the maudlin eentlmetallstg for the
cut-throat. When, after months and
sometimes years of vexatious delay, the
murderer Is finally 'brought to Justice'
and a verdict' la secured which should
consign the assassin to the gallows at
oncewhy! the case has only begun.
Arguments for new trials; applications
to the pardon boards; petitions to the
high magistrates are kept up until the
mirrilerer is liable to die of old age
before the execution takes place, If it
ever does take place.
Observe the case of Durant, the Cali
fornia Aend, who is now on trial for
one of the most atrocious murders com
mltted since the days of "Jack the Rip
per." The chain of circumstantial evi
dence has been wound about this cruel
wretch In a manner that can leave no
doubt of his guilt of the murder and
mutilation of two young girls. His side
of the case hi utterly without a straw
to prove his Innocence. Yet he Is the
recipient of the usual number of bou
quets from silly creatures who are a
disgrace to womanhood, and, it Is said,
contributions of money have been
pouring in from all sides to defray the
expenses of his trial.
In our own county we have also
startling illustrations of the effect of
maudlin sentiment In defeating the
ends of Justice. From the long list
of red-handed murderers who have es
caped the gallows In Lackawanna coun
ty to the Instances of the present, where
attorneys and others are moving the
earth almost In their efforts to cheat
the hangman, the effect of this morbid
tendency to admire or pity the cut
throat Is apparent. It hampers justice
and renders life Insecure in localities
like this. It is well known that among
a certain element in this vicinity the
belief exists that no murderer will ever
be hung In Lackawanna county. This
belief Is strengthened by the action of
people who are ready to make a hero
or a martyr of every brute who gets
behind the bars. It is the duty of all
good citizens to discourage this senti
ment whenever opportunity offers; and
to Insist that the laws of the land are
enforced regardless of the reputation
of this or that attorney. If the melo
dramatic clamor for clemency upon the
part of these morbid admirers of crimi
nal monstrosity could be silenced for a
time, it is believed that it would have
a wholesome effect upon public morals
generally.
ATLANTA GOSSIP.
Over 700 I'ennsylvanlnns have registered

A northern paper published a wildly
fabulous story last Sunday about the hotel
Impositions and the lnterstions of the
southern railways to defraud visitors. 'It
has done Incalculable hnrm to the exposi
tion and has incensed the- citizens -of
Atlanta to the point of fury. The corre
spondent stmted that the Southern rail
way is a poony equipped roan wnn oroKen
down ermines end -that the trains ore al
ways late by several hours. He further
declared that the hotels of Atlanta are
charging as high ns S20 per day and that
the barbers get 75 cents for shoving ono
man one time. The fact Is that the
Southern railway Is giving the best of
service and nothing but praise ts heard
for Its excellent system. The railroads
have reallv made the exposition. Had It
not been for their generous course from
the beginning but little cnnld have t-en
(lone. Very early they decided to Iy
aJde the Question of inntetlal gain and
work for the success of 1ho exposition.
They have offered lower rites tl,in hnv
ever been offered before. They have all
appropriated money to the oxKsi.Ilnn, and
nmong other concessions haul all freight
for the woman's exhibit free of charge.
The newspaper story ptnrtod from the
fact thnt the rallronds have endeavored
to protect themselves from tho abuso of
their gonnroslty by scalpers.
As to the holel rates, the proprietors of
the great Atlanta hotels are using con
siderable languaire familiar to Chlmmle
Fadden when they speak of tli unscrupu

the Kimlwill, and the msny Immense
places of entertainment emphatically con

Northern visitors need feel no concern
r.bout the danger of being Imposed utioii

The success of the, Pennnsylvanla work

Plttston Hem; "The lawless custom of
carrying concealer weapons and the ut
ter Inadequacy of tho enforcement of our
Inwa regarding the sale and possession
of such unnecessary Instruments .of
self-preservation are subjects worthy of
serious consideration by those to whom
the protection of the lives of our citizens
Is entrusted. In this community no one,
txcept, perhaps, en officer of the law,
authorised for special purposes to carry
such, needs anything of the kind for
protection of life and limb; and the mnn
found with such In his possession should
be considered, on general principles, as a
mslefactor and a law-breaker In Inten
tion If not In effect. The possesion of a
deadly weapon quite frequently Incites
Its holder to disorder and violence, nay,
sometimes to murder, which might lie and
would be avoided. If a destructive instru
