LEWISTON, April B, 1884.
Mn. EplToR.-Some time since the |
editor Of the Nez Perce Neus, in nm ar.
ticle referring to temperance, said that
woman, in conversation with him had re-
marked "Shc would have whipping
post to punish drunkards." Now l am
the woman, aud l believe that the half
of truth is sometimes falsehood. l
said would have a whipping post in
every town and if man would not sup
port his family, but get drunk and abuse
them, Id say whip him. This was OBJ
jected to on the ground Of injuring his
self respect. Moral suasion was rscom-
mended. 1t seems to me If the man
self respect is not injured by getting
drunk and being lodged in Jail, it is pretty
evident he has none to hurt; in which
case a wholesome fear of punishment
might become a reforming influence, far
more ctfectual than moral suasion. Mr..
Editor, will you please insert the enclosed
item---I like to be found in good COM
pany. =.
"TnE WnIppINa-Pos the sec
ond time the Grand Jury of Essex county
New Jersey, has called attention to the
frequency Of wiie-beating. as brought to
their knowledge. The cases mostly occur
among the large foreign population Of the
city Of Newark, The Grand Jury repeats
the recommendation Of former Grand
jury that the whipping post be revived
as the most effectual punishment for Wife
beaters. The Newark Daily Advertiser,
while reluctant to advocate what "seems
like Il backward step in the march Of civ.
iization,' brings from Delaware, "the
only place where thos thing has been
thoroughly tried, the testimony that I
man once punished in this way never
puts himself in the way of second whip
ping. 1t thinks that Jail, where the
culprit is punished with "a warm room
good bed, and square meals with fair
allowance of books to read in hours" il
not the proper punishment for the miscr.
able wretch who is 70 mean as to beat his
wife. We are rather disposed to agree
with its sentiment that "the penalty is nc
more degrading than the crime, and the
tender melting Of our sympathy would
make very slow thaw in our eyes. "
There is need for some punishment "tha,
brutes can understand.

A special to the Oregontan says: at
is probable that all Legislation looking to
the admission of the new States from the
northwest during this Congress is doomed.
On Tuesday Senator Harrison Of the
committee on Territories, attempted to
have day set for I, nsideration of his
bill admitting Dakota, when, to everybody $
surprise, the Democrats drew the party
lines, and every one Of them, excepting
Garland and Jon.s Of Florida, voted
against it. This was hardly expected, as
the bill admitting Dakota has been strip
ped Of every Objectionable feature, includ-
Ing provision that would have allowed
the new State to vote at the Presidential
election this year. The Democrats, how
ever, are said to believe that Dakota
would, ii admitted, send to Republican
Senators to Congress. and for this reason
they oppose it. The vote, 33 to 23,
shows the hopelcssness Of further agita-
ton. Almost the same thing may be
said of the bill admitting Washington
Territory, and the bill admitting part
Of that Territory and Idaho, under the
name Of Tacoma. Neither of those bills,
nor the measure of Harrison, even if it
should pass the Senate, will ever be re-
ported from the House committee.

Local option in England.

The feeling of opposition of the liquor
traffic seems to be growing even more
rapidly in England than in this coun-
try. For years Sir Wilfred Lawson an
nually brought in resolution in favor
of local option, only to have it voted
down by large majorities. But public
opinion changed rapidly upon the mat
ter, and when the general election of
1880 brought the liberals into power the
House Of Commons definitely affirmed
its beliefin the principle of allowing the
locality to determine for itself whether
it would or would not permit the sale of
liquor. The pressure of public business
and the possible lack of interest in the
matter BY many who voted in the MAORI
ty has thus far stood in the way Of the
practical enactment by law of the
theory to which the House has given in
its adhesion. But as the Queens
speeches name the regulation of the
liquor traffic as one of the reasons for
which further development of local
self government is desirable, it is not
impossible that England will ere long
have a general local-option law.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

Herr Won Eisendecker. the German
Minister al Washington, received on Sat
urlay last the Lasker resolutions Of con-
doIencc by Congress and the accompany
ing letter Of Prince Bismarck The said
Minister that he should forward them in
few days to the State Department.
Our Government has now an oppor-
unity to assert it' own dignity aud self
respect and to reseat in a becoming and
legitimate manner the insult put upon
the nation BY the German Premier. -.
Prince Bismarck, acting on his own
authority, ignoring alike the Emperor
aud the Parliament, returned the rcso-
lutious of Congress because they con-
tanned something which he, of his own
Judgement. deemed Objectionable. In
doing so he added further indignity to
the United States by ignoring our Minis
ter at Berlin aud sending back the reso-
lutions directly through the German
Minister at Washington.
Secretary Frelinghuysen should reply
to Bsmarck's communication in calm,
dignied state paper reviewing the
Princes objections and justifying the
action Of Congress He ought to write
his letter aud make a case which would 90
INTO history and administer rcbukc to
the German Premier which he would
never forget.
How Jefferson, Monroe, Van Buren,,
Webster, Calhoun or Cass would have
improve such an opportunity If Samuel
J Tilden, Horatio Seymour, George
IIoadly or Blaine or Cokling were in Mr.
Frelinghuysen's place, we might antici-
pate a state paper of which the country
would be proud

Don't Give UP The Flock

There is considerable depression in the
sheep and wool industry Of the country
says the Breeders Gazette. This not
at all unprecedented There have been
much more serious depressious in the
not very distant past, for which there
have been several causes. Whatever
effect the tariff reduction may have had,
this alone cannot explain the lowered
prices and feeling of doubt
The rapid increase in the number of
sheep, especially in the West and South
west has had much Influence The i'm
portant thing is to know what is the
best to be done, Oae thing we count
certain. 1t is not wise to give up in
desrtir or disgust; selling out focks, re-
solving to have noting more to do with
sheep Rarely will it be wise TO make
extreme crosses, to try to radically
change the character of the flock. 1t
will be wise, in many cases, to reduce
the nu nbers; at least to weed out the
inferior animals; possibly to dispose of
the older sheep that are in fair Sesh.
We incline to the opinion that, in gen
eral, it will will be better, in the Gem
trail States, to give increased proper
tionate attention to the breeds which are
valuable as much for the their mutton
,s for the wool. There has boon com
-'atlvely little cause for depression to
those who have had good mutton sheep
for sale. Good fat sheep will not, proba-
bly,, fail to be in good demand this year,
nor next. The farther West has some
exceptional advantages for growth of
inc wool but it cannot compete on equal
erms with the Central West in mutton
production.
