but paragraph is going the rounds
of the press, to the effect that Ten

whippingspost for the punishment of
husbands who beat and otherwise
cruelty mistreat their wives. We
know of no effort to establish such
an institution, but if we would favor
it under any circumstances we would
in this. Amy man who maltreats his
wife deserves to be publicly
whipped for each and every offense.
He deserves less consideration than
q mule, and infinitely less than a
dog. Ii we were called upon to
point out the meanest, vilest and
most contemplate of Gods crea-
lures, who is to be loathed, abhorred
and execrated by all men, we should
unhesitatingly point to the case
hardened wretch who maltreats
/ the mother of his children and the
woman whom lie has solemnly vowed
to love, honor and protect. Such al
one deserves to be placed in solitary
confinement, on diet of bread and
water, and taken out and publicly
whipped at least once for every of
tense.

New York Herald: 1t is to
be regretted that the tides of
immigration from Europe do
not flow toward the South,
where immigrants are more
needed than in the Eastern or
even in our Western states.
Cur territories as yet do not at
tract our foreign friends. Da-
kato with its visions of gold, has
but 1920, while Colorado, which
proposes to endow the world
with silver has 1910. The Com
stock lodes have only invited to
Nevada I4S, while Selene and
tempting New Mexico has the
beggarly contingent, 1873. The
theory that immigration might
go through the United States to
Banada and the British domin-
ions in the extreme North
west fails when we learn that
but 1871 went to Canada and
81 to Manitoba. Utah has
large quota. 1884, mainly, we
fear, because of the proselying
influence of the Mormon faith.
These figures are interesting as
throwing light upon the tenden-
cies of immigration to America.

TnE Guiteau case draws near

The Guiteau case draws near
a conclusion. On Wednesday
Judge Porter made a powerful
and mastery argument for the
prosecution. Judge Cox read
his decision on the various
points submitted and on Thurs
day Mr.. Davidge was to have
made the closing argument for
the prosecution. The deliber-
alton and verdict of the jury
will be awaited with interest.
The general drift of public opin-
ion hangs between a verdict of
guilty and a failure on the part
Of the jury to agree.
