L Expressions of the Junto Club on the Subject. TEACHERS MUST BE SUSTAINED Children Should be Trained to Obe dience at Home by Parents as of Old. Alt the last meeting of the Junto Club there were only three members praeent the others having gone to am evening party. The three present were a lawyer, professor land real estate agent not nec essarily mentioned l.i the order of their Imporoanee. , "Well," said the professor, "this cor poral punishment question has had en other trial in tthe courts, and the teacher has been sustained In tooth cases. Prof. Adams, of Port land, wai arrested foe over-punUhling a 9-year-old boy, and Prof. Brlggs, of Staiytoa, lhas Just been arrested for thrashing an 18-year-old boy. In booh oases ithe evidence was conclu sive to dhow that tlhe punishment was mora severe than tlhe circumstances would Justify aimountllning to almost cru elty in the former case and yet booh de fendants were acquitted. Of couree. that Is good tfor school teachers jvd will contribute to the good management of tine public schools, but I suppose the liw would be too rigid to take such things Into consideration. It 'would have been disastrous to the government of school) all over Utile state If tlhe teachers in these two oases had been convicted, for not only wouM It have imade Ill-disposed pupils bolder, but would have made teachers so careful tlhialt Hhey 'would lose control of the schools. A teacher can do very little unless the Haw will sustain him in his honest endeavor." "Honest endeavor. Indeed!" Inte-rupted the real estate agent. "I can't see the honest endeavor In a large man's beating a small boy unmercifully. Why doeen't he take some one of (his size. It ts Just a cowardly advantage a teacher takes, on account of his size and position. He whirs line boy Just because he can." "Nonsense! Do you suppose a teacher takes pleasure in whipping a boy? He whips him because he has done wrong and must be taugint to do riirht, and not : because he Is small. Usually the whole trouble Wee m the home training. If a boy is taught to obey We parents and others in authority he will give no trouble. If a boy can't be taught obe dience In any other way he must be tiaunht it by corporal punishment."1 I "But you might use moral suasion." "You never taught school. I observe. Tou can't And a successful teRchor w.ho opposes corporal punishment, anl 1 doubt whether you can find a patent who has been successful In raising his children who has not resorted to ' the use of the rod." "Well, Jet thai go, but how about the law of the matter?" "The law," raid the lemal member, 'Van be suimlmed up In a few iwo ds. If there j Is a cause of ptimtehmcnt the law will not find the teacher guilty of assault! and battery. That Is, suppose the d's-. Obedience of the pupil deserves ordlrary corpora punishment, a Jury will n"t con-' vlct a man of crime If the punishment is ' excessive, but f the teacher mnke a mWoalie amd punishes an Innocent pupil or one whose physical condltkm Is known to be weak then the law will give him no protection. I "In tthe cases that hare been tr'ed re-' oently the pupils were guilty of gross In-' subordination an hwonce. They knew they were doing wrong, and openly defied , those appointed under the laws of this' dba'te to have authority over them. The j law authorised punishment, does not I specify the nature or the amount, and'' must sustain Itself as well as the teacher by Its decisions of cases arising under : the statute. ' "To convict a teacher of assault end; balttery for excesive pun's'iiment would be Just as absurd as to lay a Judge of Bhie circuit court liable for false imprison ment If he sentenced a man to a term In the penitentiary longer than his offense merited. In efrther case you wou'd de feat the intention of the law. Cases in volving corporal punishment have tvtn decided m the supreme courts of nearly all of the states, and there are only a very few Instances In which the teacher was defeated. In these cases the evi dence went to Show that there should have been no punishment ait mil " "Pf any teacher ever wVps my boy I'll fix him with a shotgun, If not by law," said Ithe aprnt "There that s Ju3t the trouble; par-' ems talk that way before their chden, and tfbat lends them to do many things they would not otherwise. Now, when I was a boy my father gave me to un derstand that If I received pun'sfment at school I'd get more when I oime home, and yot. msy be sure I never was whipped at school," said tlhe lawyer. "But it seems to me that In these days of enlightenment and progress we ought to be able to govern children without the use nt rods." "Tee, and in these days of enlighten ment and pa carets doesn't It seem that we outfit to be able to govern without prtsons?" j "That is not a parallel dase." "Yes, It Is." I "Men are whipped m tthe Oregon state penitentiary, and severely, too." The great troub's wi:tv teachers la that they whip not too bard, but too oft on." "There Is ano'her corsidera'ioV sa'd the lawyer. "If teacher are made liable to a fine for aerauX and battery, very soon you will find that no respons'blw or capable person will accept sudh a po , sttion. for school teacHms; Is dlearrceable ; enough as It is.

All patriotic citizens will bs glad to learn that hi their midst ar. some people of Ideas. The nerw style of oval salmon cans. In which are packed the higher grade goods, have been difficult and ex pend ve to solder, as the old machines can only handle round cans. It remained for Messrs. Jos. L. Ashley and W. E. MoDenmott to invent a solder ing machine which, will effectively do the work on any ethaped can that Is not square. The invention lhas been named the universal soldering machine, and was yesterday placed on exhibition In the shop on 15th street at the rear of August Danteteon's place. Nearly all of the can. narymen of the city Inspected the work, tng of the machine and pronounced It a success. It Is somewhat similar In ap pearance to the present machine, exept that 'there are carriers, or oast Iron fin gers, fastened to the endless chain, which take hold of the can and push It along through the solder pot. Of these carriers there are thirty-five on each chain. A company has been formed to handle the machine and place tt on the market, composed of Messrs. S. Maddock, J. L. Ashley and W. E. MoDermoct. It Is the Intention to place It on sale In the near future and It goes without saying that all canneries will put them In operation. BANK PRESIDENT IN TROUBLE. Charged "With.

Last night a large and representative audience fairly ft led Fisher's Opera House to witness the present atn by the 8-rrltih-lleb dmamatlc company of a touch ing little meloditoimo, "The Vlo'.ln Maker of Cremona." The company proved Itself to be, beyond the shadow of doubt, the finest combination thait Was over appeared In this city, and tt Is a gratification to know that such splendid altered one as this are being secured for the benefit of AstorTa theatre goers toy Manager Beggs. In "The Vfolin Maker of Cremona," a play that (has been a favorite among the world's greatest actors for years. Mr. Carl Smith ss FIlllipo, the hunchbirk, ".lowed a depth of dramatic talent that :;vrjpedi him as a finished and careful ar tl.

IMIss I'eb am C:anlne, ably supported Mr. Smith, though the part did not suit her charac teristics as thoroughly as It fright have done. Taddeo Ferrtart (Mr. Franc: Nel son) and Ms apprentice, Banilro, (Mr. Rinhard Scott) were tootih excellent. The Arabian Nights Is a three-act fares comedy, wtih a pjot that kept the audi ence last night in shrieks of laughter from beginning to end. The comp'ioat one thtat arke during the progresi of the play are clever and brlgfrt. There Is not a dull moment In the whole performance. Mr. Smith In the character of ATtrur Humimtngtop, aus'lalned a part the very opposite In every nvay to that of the Hunchback. He is a master of co-redy, .end time and agtain last night he was cheered to the echo. 'Miss Hattle Foley, as Mrs. Otlllibrand, (he mother-ln-1 'W, wns splendid.

Debs spoke In Central Music Hall (oirighlt to an audi ence thait taxed the sealttng capacity of the ball. Most of tfhe leading organiza tions were represented and the reception accorded! the leader of the American Rail 'Way Union was enthusiastic in the ex. trame. Eight carloads of Peb' friends went down to Wooddtock Ito greet him on hie release from Jan and several thousand men were at the station of the Nortthfwestern road when 'the train bear ing Debs and hi!s friends arrived. The reception given 'Debs as he stepped from the train bordered on cmntlc. Hun dreds of men pushed and struggled to get a grasp of hits Hand. Many of them hugg ed him and some went to the length ot kilfBlng htm. Finally he was tossed upon the shoulders of four men and foll.w.d by a dense throng which never for an In stant stopped its cheers, he was escorted to the hall about one mile distant. The warmth, of the reception at the depot was repeated when he entered the hall with, the exception that the crowd was unalble to get close to him and con tented themselves with' cheering and wav ing their hats. The speech delivered by Debs was received with great applause. Debs said In part; "Manifestly the spirit of '76 still sur vives.

Will Not Take Aetion Until the Re publicans and Popniisti Show Their Hands. Washington, Nov. 22. The fact has tranetplred thait the Democratic steer. ng committee of the senate he.d a meeting 'here of three hours' duration on Wednes day ladu H.ie members preaent are very reticent as 'to what occurred, twt tt h known thut a thorougta canvass was made of the situation with a view to de. elding upon a line of policy In the next se;Sixn. The question of organlnaitron of the sen ate was discussed at length. The com mittee did not reach a definite conclusion on this matter but when It adjourned there was a general understanding that unless future events should mak. a change desirable, tthe committee would recommend to the Democrats in the sen ate to make no move whatever until the Republican and Populists shall develop theiir plans. It appeared from the ale nisslon that the Democratic senatont are divided as to the poMcy to be pursued, some advocating an active effort to main. tain Demoora'tlo control of the senat , while others aldtvocated the surrender to the RiepuWHcams wfttthout a Struggle. The steering committee finally concluded It would be I wise to iwtalt until It was made plain whether the Republicans would be a unit In their desire to take control, and whether tthe Populists would stand their ground, or some of them would agree to assist the Republicans. This, the committee thought, tthe Dem ocrats could afford to do, as the senate is a. continuous body and the present or ganization WoMs until supplanted by an other by the will of the senate.

Gov't Report t 1 SS SHANAHAN BROS. The Little Yacht Will Leave for Home Today. YESTERDAY'8 TRIAL A SUCCESS In a Thirty Mile Run the Gasoline Eng-ines Worked Steadily and Without a Hitch of Any Kind. Yesterday at noon a lares oartv lot A- tontans, Including several representatives of the press, accepted the invitat.on of Captain Hughes, of Fair's gasoline launch Lucero, for a cruise round the bay, and up tne river, tne occasion being a trial trip ifor Dhe purpose of testing the yaohVa engines preparatory to her departure for San Francisco. Mr. A. L. Fox, of the Astoria Iron Works, and Messrs Keith and W. 8. Barlow, representing the Union Gas Engine Co., of San Francisco (tne nnnt vnat made the engines), were aboard. It had been given out before the trip that everything had been got into the best possible shape and the engineers and offi cers of the Uttle vessel waited anxiously for the command to go ahead, In ord.r to And out unmistakably whether the Cal ifornia trtllUonalre's purchase was a toy or a serviceable vessel. Their highest ex pectations were realized, and, before the Lucero had been under way ten min utes, It became apparent that she had never run so twell. After a spin dawn to the Seaside can. nery, a sharp turn was made and the yacht pased tip atong the city docks at full speed, In charge of ' Pilot Hobson, and ran up to 'Pillar .Rock, covering the distance at a 12 knot pace. . Coming round In a circle, she took the Washington channel past Frankfort, and down by tthe Knappton Mills where everybody , ashora turned out to. .wender whether the cralft was-a diminutive man of war, or a pirate. On reaching Sand Island, she was headed across to Fort Stevens, and then came up along the Inside channel home to the O. R. and dock. The course covered wee fully thirty miles, and during the whole trip the engines worked without a hitch, showing to the satisfaction of the experts and everybody else aboard that the boat was In proper running order. Only three of the four cylinders avail able were brought Into use. With all four working, and the proper oropellor In place, at is estimated that the Lucero In her present running order can easly cover from thirteen to fourteen knots. The only unfavorable comment lhat can poslbly be made about her is that the 'M ridiculously cramped Inside and her living quarters are far too small for cam- fort, though everythirg below decks Is beautifully fin lathed. It Is probnb'e that the whole Interior mm be remodeled, when she arlves In San Francisco. As soon as the trip was over Catitain Hughes, being thoroughly safrfl-d of her seaworthiness, decided to take advantage K the present speP. of beautiful weather, and run the yacht down to San Francisco where her owner ks anxiously waiting to receive her. She was provisioned for the voyage last ntrht, and will probably leave out early this morning. All who partook of the hospitality of Captain Hughes and his officers yesterday will heartily with the little craft a safe trip to tier ituture home. It Is not pleasant to see even a million aire's money thrown away for nothing, and It Is gratifying to know that Mr. Fair will be able, notwithstanding the vague predictions of a few croakers, to enjoy many Jolly hours aboard his latest purchase.
