Will anyone say that his wife ought not beat him? But. on the other hand, it is sometimes the wife who does unspeakable things. So here we are. The law and the courts have no adequate substitute for patriarchal government. There are some instances in which prompt family chastisement is the only’ possible remedy and is justified even though it may be inflicted on on the father or mother who are sometimes the worst children in tbe household. But this is no argument against the whipping post. By all means let us bave it back with some other things pertaining to the sim ple life of yore. It is said it will brutalize the whippee. Theu all the more let us have it. If it will exalt him to the level of those clean, patient, kindly and moral animals we call brutes, it will do what all the prisons nnd other moral reform energy have pitifully failed to do.

Salem, Or., Jan. 25.—But three members of the Senate announced themselves in favor of the bill ap plying the death penalty upon con viction of holding up a train, stage or person. Senator Croisan intro duced the bill, and despite the ad verse committee report concluded that it ought to passed. Senator Rand held it was an unwise measure, while Malarkey said there was a bill now’ before the Senate provid ing a penalty of from 10 to 40 years and he thought that amply suffi cient. ----- M aking G a s Engines.
