An Ethical Question of Punishment
Frnn, the Chicago Inter-Ocean.l

The recent whipping of seven petty
criminals at New Castle, Delaware, has
called forth an indignant remonstrance
from number OF papers IN that state
against practice considered legacy OF
slavery On the other hand, there is
manifest disposition on the part of some
other papers to defend corporeal castlga-
tion as a wholesome and effective deter
rent from certain still more brutal
oaenses, such as wife.beating and gar
rotine. and the controversy bids fair to
assume the shape of an ethical inquiry.
But the whole case turns upon the very
old problem: What is the obJec OF pun
ishmeut2 Is it Vindietiye, is it protec-
tive to society, or is it reformatory OF the
malefactor? The enlightened opinion OF
the day, almost with one voice, rejects
the idea of punishment as measure OF
revenge. The better thought is to regard
il as dual in its legitimate purposeIas
first O means Of guarding the public,
bv setting an example and by showing
the individual that he cannot commit
crime with impunity; and secondly,
as a measure of neral reform to
the malefactor. The highest pur-
pose is to protect society; the re-
| form Of the individual must come
after. Is the application of the lash to
/ the back of malefactors the best means
Of protecting society against themf II
this is settled afirmatively, then the
question as to how the lash affects the
| offenders moral sense must be regard ed
as 0 secondary one. The tendency OF
the times, in every civilized country, IS
rather toward a too great laxity than to-
ward an undue severityi aud every meth
cd of punishment is in turn attacked by
some outraged philanthropist II it can
~ -roved that the last is greater than in
I..ra ~ r Son ia the Jail or the penitentary,
o-S ,bst tbersfore society is safer with
,be 1 lash than vithoGtit, it would appear
That the walls Of pain ws'eh reacn US
from New Castle should not be peEmlV'eu
TO influence the decision.
In England, where it has long been
the practice to deal out stripes to a Ger
tain species of peculiarly obnoxious Of
tenders, the same question was recently
/ fully discussed in Parliament and IN
tbe press. A sensational description OF
the hogging of a garroter with the cat
lin Newgate enlisted the sympathies Of
member Of the Commons, conspieuous
No less for his philanthropic zeal than
FOR his radical politics. The eontro-

Law of Love.

d Love makes its own law and writes it
on the heart in which it breathes and
lives. No book in the world would be
90 large as to hold all the laws that love
would write, if It told us at once all we
should feel, think, say and do for man
all the days of our life. The ten laws
that Ged wrote on stone are full OF
notes. All of them but one tell US what
not to do. But when God put his love
in the heart of man, it writes there with
its pen what it shall do to all who live
near him. or whom he deals with. He
loves them not simply because that God
tells him he must do so. Good will to them
is The breath of his own soul; and his
soul must breathe, though it is not told
to do SO. !,
This, then, is the love of the heart and
life. 1t is not put in words. 1t does
not tell a man how or when he shall
think kind thought, speak kind word
or do a kind act, no more than he need
to tell his lungs when TO breathe, or his
blood when to run or to stopin his veins.
This law acts of its own self, just as the
heart does when it beats or sends blood
TO the Drdlu. QulCh DO thOuSn"
move, it fills the eye with sweet delight
which no law put in golden words could
make to shine there. 1t gives kind
tone to the voice which mere words
could not teach the tongue or lips to
breathe. 1t gives the hand warmth
that the blood does not make, and which
the man who folds it in his, feels all the
way to his own heart.
So love has its light, life and law.
Heaven is called world of light. The
best book says there is no night there;
that the face of God is the sun that fills
It with day that can have no end: Now
all the hearts that burn with His love
here are lamps that shine with the same
light that his face gives out to all who
live in heaven. And the earth grows
more like heaven the more OF such
lamps there are lit on it. And a child s
heart may hold as much of Gods love,
and make as bright lamp of its light, as
the heart of the man in the prime OF
life. For an old man, if he dies with
none of his love in him, dies a child al
the dawn of life. He has not lived at
all in the best sense. He has lived a
mere mole in the ground. - Bahn

was even urged by the latter that this
mode of punishment tended TO convert
garroting itself into downright muir
der. The fellow, it was said, who has
once had a taste Of the cat for get
ting q gentleman's head in chancery
while exploring his pockets will be
tempted TO make sure work Of his neck
lace experiment the next time, and get
rid of all ugly evidence and the cat to-
gether. Some were Of the opinion,
therefore, that it was better to take the
social risk Of the garrote than to feel
certain Of being murdered when robbed.
Another nice question in punitive stat
ute morals raised in this connection was,
whether the proposed hogging OF women-
whippers, Of which rascally England has
large supply, would not recoil upon
the weaker sex2 Those who profess to
have some practical knowledge Of hu-
man nature seriously thought it dan
gerous experiment TO send a brutal hus'
band home again to his wife, with a lace
rated back and frame quivering with
agony the penalty for the last beating
he had administered to her. They be-
neVe tnhJ SuheTlnR VIII CoutiuuV W oh7
dure such shocking brutalities to the
limit Of death itself rather than utter
complaints which, while leading to the
punishment of their husbands, brings
down worse punishment upon them
selves. .-fy ..r.r.
The merciful spirit Of the age is so ut
terly averse to corporeal castigatlon
that, no matter what its merits might be,
IL is not likely to find friends outside OF
Delaware. At the same time the horror
with which criminals have been discov,
cred to regard the lash in England, and
the eagerness with which they prefer
other modes of punishment, hold out a
strong temptation to advocate its adop-
ton. There is certain element among
our dangerous classes, and especially in
the larger cities, with whom the whip
ping post might prove more effective
than any other terror Of the law. Yet It
will not find many advocates outside OF
the little commonwealth of Delaware.

Another Danbury Picture.

The Danbury News says:
1t is little singular how well pair
of boots can he made to fit at the store.
You may not be able to get your foot
half way down the bootleg at the first
trial, but that is because you havn't
started right, and the bootmaker sug-
rests that you start again, and stand up
to it, and he throws in little powder
from pepper to aid you. And so you
stand up, and pound down your foot,
and partly trip yourself up, and your
ewes stick out in an unpleasant manner,
and every vein in your body ap-
pears to be on the point of burst
ing, and all the while that dealer
stands around and eyes the opera.
ton as intently as if the whole affair
was perfectly new and novel to him.
When your foot has finally struck bot
tom, there is faint impression on your
mind that you have stepped into an open
stove, but he removes it by solemnly OBJ
serving that he never saw boot hit quite
as good as that. You possibly may sug,
gest that your toe presses too hard
against the front, or that some OF the
bones in the side of the foot are too
much smashed, but he says this is always
the way with a new boot, and that the
trouble will entirely disappear in a few
days. Then you take the old pair under
your arm and go home as animated as
relic Of 1872, all the while feeling that
the world will not look bright and happy
TO YOU again until you have Drained
that shoemaker. You limp down town
the next day and smile all the while
with your mouth, while your eyes look
as if you were walking over an oyster
bed barefoot. When no one is looking
YOU kick post or some other obstruc-
ton and show fondness for stopping
and resting against something that will
sustain your weight. When you get
home at night you go for those old boots
with an eagerness that cannot be de
scribed, and the remarks that you make
upon learning that your wife has dis
posed of them to woman IN the
suburbs are calculated to Immediately
depopulate the earth of shoemakers and
women generally.

New French Religious sect.

The existence of a religious sect called
"Derbists," whose adherents are mostly
recruited in the two departments of the
Drome and the Ardeche, was scarcely
known to the great majority OF French
men until soldier belonging to TINS
body was tried by court-m@tlal few
days ago for insubordination. The tehets
of this sect are principally embodied IN
the doctrine that human life is absolute
