Chicago has passed the 2,000,000
mark in population and is making a
great fuss about it. When Galveston
reaches that figure she will not cut up
any didos, because it will be simply the
expected and the inevitable coming to
pass. ______
Now Lady Fitzmaurice, the Ameri-
can bridal bargain for a corrupt
English title, has secured a divorce.
These cases are becoming so common
that they have lost the essential of
news value, novelty, and are hardly
worth printing. The Tribune will in-
struct its foreign correspondents here-
after to cut such items to 50 words.
All diseases of the skin cured and
lost complexion restored by Johnson’s

McClanahan, Galveston, Texas.

han, Galveston, Texas.
It is a wise candidate in Galveston
county who knows when he is elected.
What’s the matter with having one
set of election officers, as one set of
registration officers, and extending the
election through several days? All
voters could then be reviewed, as they
voted, by an intelligent board, with
representatives of each party, and the
incapacity or corruption of multiplied
officers be overcome.
Galveston county election officers
have simply played the dickens.
Pleas Against Civil Service.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 15.—Many
requests are received at the postoffice
department asking that certain offices
included in the recent civil service or-
der be excepted from its operations for
a short time. It appears that post-
masters appointed since the new ad-
ministration came into power have not
yet had time to fill the offices under
them with party friends and by the
next extension they are debarred from
selecting chief clerks and other officers
who have heretofore been considered
party<)atronage places. These letters
have been very numerous, but to each
the reply is made that the president
only can except offices from the opera-
tion of the new order and it is not very
probable that he will be willing to
do so.
SMpsLde Delivery.
To-day at noon there was a meeting
of railroad men and local ship brokers
uo discuss the question of local cotton
for shipside delivery. There were
present at the meeting W. B. Grose-
close, commissioner of the Galveston
Freight Bureau, L. J. Polk of the
Santa Fe, J. E. Galbraith of the Inter-
national and Great Northern and
others.
Cruel and Revolting^ Forms of tliG Death
Punishment.
Few people regard the “great even-
tuality” with less dread than the Chi-
nese. Their nerves survive shocks
which would prove fatal to a more
finely organized people and they prac-
tice methods of self immolation for un-
selfish ends inconceivable to the west-
ern mind. Such a custom, for example,
as substituting one’s self to be executed
in consideration of a certain sum of
money, that the family may be left en-
riched and independent, is beyond our
ken, and the toleration of it is impossi-
ble of understanding.
It is a queer anomaly that these
Asiatics inflict, through their laws,
frightful punishments of torture and
death and, on the slightest provocation,
human blood is poured out like water,
while in their social relations they are
kind-hearted and good-natured, and
the thoroughly brutal, hardened ruffian
who beats his wife and starves his chil-
dren is probably rarer in Shanghai than
in Shoreditch.
Under the heading of “Death” in the
penal code come the several modes in-
flicted. A sliding scale of capital pun-
ishments is used to mark their sense of
the varying heinousness of murderous
crimes.
For parricide, matricide and whole-
sale murder, the usual sentence is that
of “Ling Chih,” or "‘Ignominious and
slow death.” In ordinary cases execu-
tion by beheading is the common mode,
and still another is strangulation. With
the exception of those cases of “high-
way robbery” and “burglary with mur-
der,” and of “rebellion and treason,” in
which, the guilty having been caught
red-handed, the death penalty must be
paid within forty days, the criminals
sentenced to death in Pekin and other
cities are executed in the autumn.
The date is fixed by the imperial
edict and is usually about ten days be-
fore the winter solstice. It is then
that the emperor proceeds to the Tern-
pie of Heaven to render an account at
the great altar of his past year’s stew-
ardship of the power intrusted to him
as the one “agent on earth” of the
“most high in Heaven.”
In the general record of the imperial
acts is included a statement of the
names and crimes of those who have
suffered death by his will during the
, year, this record being burned on the
j shrine, and its contents thus wafted
up to the cognizance of Heaven.
Preceding this ceremonial, of course,
. the wretched culprits have been tried
before the board of punishments (or
criminal court), where quivering, pros-
trate they have heard the fatal “Ch’ing
Shih” (found guilty) droned out by the
clerk. There is no jury to try the un-
fortunate delinquents; there is no oath
prefacing the testimony of witnesses;
there is no pleading by shrewd law-
yers, but an autocratic condemnation,
subject to no appeal: In spite of this,
mercy is sometimes shown. A criminal
condemned to death is saved from pun-
ishment if it be proved that aged pa-
rents depend upon him for support.
All prisoners look eagerly forward to
these trials. They feel only joyous re-
lief from the conclusions of them or the
calm certainty of death. They are
about to escape the indescribable hor-
rors of a Chinese prison. The filth and
dirt of the rooms, the brutality of the
jailers, the miserable diet, the entire
absence of the commonest sanitary ar-
rangements, and their beds more like
strait jackets, with the vermin that in-
fest every nook, make any change wel-
come to the miserable culprits.
Among the tortures incidental to a
compulsory confession is the sitting
cage. This is a strong box of heavy
timbers made just the height of the
shoulders of the culprit and just large
enough to hold him in a sitting or
doubled-up position. An opening at
the top is made to encircle the neck,
the head being held without. In this
cramped position he is kept for long
hours until the pain is so great relief
must come in unconsciousness or a con-
fession, it may be, to obtain physical
ease.
The “swinging pole” from which hangs
the prisoner suspended at one end by
his queue, his arms bent backward, as
also his legs, at the other by his feet,
gives perforce exquisite agony and
leaves the subject too lame, if not
broken of bone and taut of sinew, to
resist any demand for full confession.
The “Triple Cangue,” seemingly sc
simple, is severe enough in its heavy
drag on the bones of the spine, as
bleeding necks and lacerated shoulders
attest, while swarming mosquitoes,
pestilential flies, and unrelenting un-
mentionables persistently torture, the
collar being too wide to permit the
free use of the hands to drive them
away.
Perhaps not least in pain is the
“Chain Coil.” One sees some wretch,
stripped of his trousers, kneeling with
bared legs on a coil of rusted chains.
He is supported by a man on either
side with a long pole run under his
arms, which are bent behind him. A
similar pole is placed in the bend of hi:?
knees, and on the ends of this pole the
demons who torture stand and stamp,
pressing down the raw flesh of the vic-
tim on this heap of jagged iron.
Strangulation is an honorable'death,
and very much mercy is thought to be
shown the condemned in permitting it
instead of decapitation, because the
method does not involve mutilation of
the body, which to the Chinese mind is
the height of disgrace in death,. since
the body in recomposing itself in the
spirit world may get a head or mem-
bers not belonging to it.
Decapitation comes next. In this, ah
in all other execution routine, the na-
tive military figures conspicuously.
On the morning of an execution may
be seen approaching the ground a band
of soldiery, surrounding a number, per-
haps twenty, miserable lookiMg men
chained hand to foot with length
enough of cable only to permit walk-
ing. Immediately on their arrival thou-
sands of morbid spectators gather
around. The soldiery maintains the
cordon more closely now, for the chains
and shackles are removed and the
prisoners have more freedom. They
sit, stand, or lie on the earth conversing
with those who come near. ,
They are now awaiting tne decision
of his majesty, who that morning has
passed upon the list of sentences.
The scene of death in Pekin is called
“The Vegetable Market Place.” Here
are three tents—one for the prisoners,
one for the officers deputed to attend,
and a third called the sword tent for
use of the executioner and his instru-
ments.
A touch of mercy not in keeping with
the other barbaric methods has caused
the erection of the “condemned tent,
where naught of the execution prepara-
tions can be heard by the criminals

PAVEMENT PARAGRAPHS.
The Circulation
of The Tribune on the last day of May was 1301.
Since that date it has been increased over 1900,
the daily issue now being over 3200, and it is in-
creasing steadily. To distribute The Tribune in
Galveston requires nine carriers, there being three
foot and six horse routes. A map of the various
routes is now being prepared, so that the carrier
districts may be increased in number and decreased
in size. This will result in getting the papers
to subscrioers earlier.
The Associated Press
Service of The Tribune was, the first week in Sep-
tember, increased from 1000 to3500 words a day, and
it covers the field very thoroughly. Readers of
The Tribune throughout Texas will notice that th©
morning papers of this state publish the same tele-
graphic news which appeared in The Tribune the day
before. The bulk of this telegraphic service is
received in Galveston over the leased wire of the
Associated Press and is delivered to The Tribune
before 7 o’clock each morning.
Atcliison Committee.
New York, N. Y., Nov. 15.—A joint

ports of the three existing committees,
,dz: The general reorganization com-
mittee, the London committee of bond-
holders and Messrs. Hope & Co. of

The Tribune’s mail is made up in our own office
under special permission' from the postal authori-

early night mails, so that it leaves this city on
- the 7.30 and 9.05 trains, making connection at
Houston with all the mail trains to every point in
Texas. The Galveston Publishing Company is daily
in receipt of letters from cotton men throughout
Texas commending the market report ard stating
that it is clear, comprehensive, unbiased and cor-

which is intended to be of value.

This report goes all over Texas on*the night trains
and reaches far-away points in time for cotton men
to operate in the markets next day. It is of vastly
more value than the postal cards and circulars sent
out by factors, because it is complete, giving the
official record of the markets as received in the
Galveston Cotton Exchange. This feature of The

EMANCIPATED FROM SILVER.
Mr. R. Walcott, a prominent busi-
ness man of Denver, brother to Senator
Walcott of Colorado, in an interview,
says the people of his state have got
rid of the idea that their prosperity de-
pends upon free silver and have gone
to work developing their other re-
sources.
The conclusion is happy if tardy. It
is folly to say that a great state like
Colorado must depend upon the fiat of
the government, making its silver ore
double its market value, to perpetuate
its prosperity. Just why the govern-
ment should help the silver miners to
that extent has never been clear to
common minds, but when Colo-
rado cried out that to de
otherwise meant starvation tc
her citizens many people were
sentimentally stampeded into agreeing
to the proposition. Now that Colorado
acknowledges her independence ol
government aid and declares that she
can get along with her silver, her gold,
her potatoes and her alfalfa at their J
commodity values, all claims of senti-
ment are eliminated and we can face
the proposition on its merits and per-
tinently inquire why we should fiatize
her silver without fiatizing her lead
and her alfalfa; why, indeed, if we art
going to~ fiatize silver, we should, not
even up by fiatizing the south’s cotton,
the west’s corn and the east’s tomb-
rocks?
The truth is the reviving prosperity
of the country is giving the lie to ca-
lamity howls about the demonetization
of silver and demonstrating that it was
the reckless coinage of fiat silver which
was hurting the country.
It must now appear to Colorado and
other mining states that the late panic
was a blessing in disguise and has
emancipated them from slavery to sil-
ver into the larger field of diversified
resources. _____
The funeral expenses of the late
czar amount to 10,000,000 roubles.
Here’s a pointer to the United States
senate. Deaths in that body are made
as expensive as possible but none have
reached the figure of Alexander’s de-
mise. A careful study of the expense
account will reveal many details which
our house of lords may adopt for blow-
ing in the country’s wealth.
Judge McLean has retired, from the
railroad commission and Governor
nogg nas lenuerect tne appointment to
Hon. J. L. Storey of Lockhart, with
the intimation that it will be confirmed
by Governor-elect Culberson. Mr.
Storey will occupy the position of law-
yer on the commission. The function
is very important, but not half so im-
portant as practical traffic wisdom,
which can be secured only in an ex-
perienced traffic man. It is to be
hoped that Mr. Culberson will not
neglect the beautiful opportunity of
reorganizing the commission with at
least one traffic man.
A Snare Laid for a Ship Captain and <
Smilingly Eluded. .
There is a well known ship captain, 1
who makes frequent trips to Galveston,
who fell into bad company yesterday
He fell in with a steerer and the result
was an atttempt to bunco the nautical
man.
It was near the corner of Bath ave- ;
nue and Market; the captain was stand-
ing watching the people as they passed
hurriedly up and down the street, when
he was approached by Mr. Bunco, who
was one of those accommodating chaps
and wanted to take the sailorman
around the town. Mr. Bunco represented
himself as a. citizen of Omaha and
said he was a stock owner of considera-
ble wealth. The short acquaintance
between the steerer and his supposed
victim soon ripened into kindly com-
panionship and it was not a long time
before the bunco man and his new
found friend were headed fortheren-
devoug of the Galveston bunco men,
which is located on one of the principal
streets of Galveston. They entered a
room where two men were playing
cards. Of course they had no objec-
tion to the bunco man playing and
would like very much to see the ship
captain take a hand.
The captain may have appeared to
the bunco man as verdant, but he
wasn’t. He had been all along the
line and when it was suggested that he
enter the game he bucked. He just
backed out of the room and with a
merry good-night was lost in the dark-
ness. It might be added that the cap-
tain is something of a shooter and he
told the Tribune man that if he’d had
bis shooting irons when he fell in with
the buncoes he would have entered the
game and played the trump card.
