The Punishment of Crime.
HENRY BERGH's VIGOROUS CALL FOR
THE WHIPPING POST.

No man should commit crime. If u
man cannot exist among us without
committing murder, kill him; get him
out of the way as soon as possible.
What did we recently see in the Tombs
a man who was imprisoned for most
atrOcious murder, whose heart was as
black us his skin, was fairly besieged
by beautiful women, who begged the
favor of his autograph, fed him on lux
uries, made his cell bower of flowers
and fruit. and did all in their power to
make him imagine that he was saint
and a hero. This maudlin nonsense
should stop. Why, nd-hearted, hon
est poor men were starving while this
vile miscreant was being pampered in
luxury. | have been IS years in the
criminal courts looking after the wei

mails, but | have a greater respect for
them than | ever had before | had an
opportunity OF comparing them with
some of the base and miserable samples
of humanity that / have met in those
courts. Animals never commit sucl
acts as some of these horrible miscre-
ants commit. A great deal has been
said about penal institutions being re-
| formed. | would abolish all of them
except the higher grade of prisons foI
| the incarceration of the worst criminals
and | would set up whipping posts
every where to scOurge the minor of
| Tenders. And to make sure that the
lash would be put on feelinglv, so thai
politics could not creep in to help the
offender, ! would offer prize or reward
! for steam machine that would have
no mercy aud could not he bribed
| Criminals are pampered in such manner
and given such comfortable quarters il
the Tombs and on the island, and have
so much better food and are so mucl
better lodged than thousands of pool
working people are, that they commi
all the minor crimes in order to be sem
to these comfortable public hotels
When will this nonsense stop? We
should have the bastinado here. 1t is q
charming style of whipping, and makes
the recipient cry ont Justify that he viii
not do 50 any more. and lie GENERALLY
keeps bis word. When | was in til,
East | asked my dragoman if these mel
kept their promises not to do so an,
more, and lie looked at me with almos
iDdescribable surprise as he responded
''Oh, yes, they always keep their word
they are quite cOntented." We want
good deal of that contentmcnt here
The idea of a whipping lowering a maj
, in his own estimation is a farcical one
