FRANCIA.

Otra de las cuestiones de politica ex'
tranjera es la relativa d la expedici6n
militar q Madagascar. Sin repetir lo
que tantas veces hemos dicho, .relativa-
mente d esta malhadada question, ana
diremos que el Ministerio ha sometido
q la Asamblea un proyecto de ley para
que Sc lie conceda IN credito de doce
mi!lones de frances con que pagar los
gastos corrientes de la expedici6n. La
Asamblea acordara ell credito, que Sc
acumulara las perdidas habidas en-
la expedition.
Las tropas francesas no han de estar
afios y afios en- algunos pocos puntos
de las costas de aquellas isla sin dar
IN paso adelante. Precisa sera una
resoluci6n decisiva. No Sc puede eter-
nizar una question costosa y de NAL
exito, nj hay, para salir de ella, mas
que dos caminos: 8 ell de renunciar 4
Ia expedition y mandar que vuelvan q
Francia las tropas expedicionarias, 8
enviar las fuerzas militsres, ell material
de guerra y de transporte necesario
para dar IN golpe decisive, llegar has
ia la capital de; Reino & imponer alii
las condolences de un tratado de paz
La retirada de las tropas expadicio-
narias podra ser mas 8 menos criticada
por los que hablan del honor nacional
daudole un sentido caballeresco, pero
retirarse tempo es preferible con-
tinuar en- ula mala empresa que Cues
te muchas vidas de hombres y cuantio-
sisimos gastos indtiles.
NADIA hay que hacer en Madagascar.
Los Hovas resisten: los Sakalaves,
amigos de los franceses, hayen siempre
delante de los Hovas y no ayudan q
las tropas invasoras de algunos pocoe
puntos de la isla No Sc puede contar
con auxiIiares que no sirven mas que
para saquear d los pueblecillos de los
Hovas y robar los ganados cuando los
franceses avauzan algo en- aquel ex-
tense ter-itorio en- que no hay camiuos
practicables y en- que ell china es NOR
tifero para los europeos.
Los Hovas no qnieren consentir en

cesitamos la protection extrsnjera: que

Don't Like II,

! Maryland is trying the experiment of the
whipping-post for wife-beating. 1t is a
mild venture upon the policy of logging
for crime, and if it is failure the system
will likely be abandoned if a success it
will probably be extended. In MARYLAND
the punishment of hanging for rape exists,
and those guilty of this otfense are very
often lynched before they get to the laws
gallows.
The first man whipped under the Mary
land law has very sore back; he threatens
to leave the state as soon as his lacerated
skin is healed, and fellow-prisoner, who is
waiting for his whipping, is said to be
greatly distressed at the prospect of it..
Manifestly if the object of penal statutes is
to punish, that object is reached in the
system of flogging.
Whipping is still considered an essential
part of household discipline. Spare the
rod and spoil the child" old Solomon said
and there are very few parents who do not
claim and exercise the divine right of
whaling their children and they generally
do 1T in anger, too /; and the smaller and
weaker the little ones, the less able to re-
sist and the less conscious they are Of their
wrong doing, the more likely they are to be
logged. The state likewise permits the
same discipline in its public schools, to be
administered at the discretion-or gener-
ally without discretion-of the teachers.
And yet the very people who set up and
countenance the whlpping-post in the
nursery and in the school-room, are shocked
at the idea of erecting it in the jail-yard
and bringing to it malefectors of mature
age and intelligence, who, despite sense
OF their enormity, commit such crimes as
rape, wife-beating, assault and battery,
and kindred oflenses against the person.
The bullies and towards who beat other
people do not like to be flogged by the pub
nc executioner. And what they don't like
is just what they ought to have

SHAVING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
How Pyers, the Whipped Wife Heater, Is Fal
Ing With HIS Sore Back

How Pyers, the Whipped Wife, heater, Is Far
ing With HIS Sore Back.
The Baltimore journals continue to pay at
tention to the proper punishment for wife,
beating. The accounts of the proceedings
last week, under the new law i'm the first
case, give general satisfaction. Pyers, the
man who was logged, announces that he has
had enough of having his name in the papers,
and does not intend to stand any more of it
According to the published account, he spent
rather uncomfortable night of ii after being
logged. Although his back had been bathed
with soothing liniments he could not lie flat
on his back, and had 10 sleep on his right
side. Every time he turned he would touch
one OF the stripes and would almost veil
with pain however, he worried through the
night and ate his break fast, and read the
papers containing AN account OF the whip-

deputy to get the barber to shave him. When
the barber arrived apredicament arose in the

could not touch his back TO a chair, and he

LANCASTER. JUNE "a. 1885.
The Seventeen.Year Visitors.

They are late with their locusts in New
York, where their advent in the Central
Park is just recorded by the newspapers
Ours are going to seed already and soon
their seventeen years of silence will begin.
We should like to be advised, by those who
maintain that everything has its use, of the
use of the locust. They are innocent crea-
lures, so far as we know, and we do not be-
lieve that they are guilty of singing folks
to death, or of any other offence but nosi-
ness. They are food for birds and chick
ems but they are not a reliable diet, com
ing at seventeen year intervals The ento-
mOlogists tell us that they are not locusts,
but lice; which will be disappointment
to those who have revered them as the
genuine Egyptian mamma spread. 1t would
not sound well to say that those ancient
sojourners in the wilderness subsisted on
mamma and lice nor is that pretty name
for creature that feeds delicately on moth
ing but the dew drops. They say it has no
other food, not being suppliedwith any eat
ing apparatus. The scientific name for the
genus of the creature is ophida, which is
prettier, but spoiled by being shared by
other varieties of lice, including the rose
louise, which also has a delicate pasture
Nothing would be nicer as food
article than a thing that is dew
drop fed, but we must definitely renounce
il as an article of diet if it Is to bs
called a louise. We can think o
no design of Prov yldence in send
ing us these seventeen year ophida
save to bother us and show us that we d,
not know as muchas we think we do tn
other generations often were here, it /
true, to tell us the same thing. We hav
never been able to tell exact
what they were made for thougI
it is currently believed that the
are an infection upon us for our sins. Thi
excuse for the present visitation, however
will hardly do, as the pretty things that fee,
on dew drops are pleasure rather than
pain and why we should have this pain o
pleasure doled out to us at seventeen yea
periods needs to be explained.

from Ibe FhlIndtIphia Record.
"The marriage license act" says the Lam
caster INTELLIGENCER, ''seems not to go far
enough in the penalties against those who
without publicity establish married relations
with each other" The difficulty in the way
is obvious. In unauthorized or formal mar
riages, ii punishment reaches to the extent of
declaring their invalidity the weaker party,
the woman in the case, is the principal suf-
ferer. 1t is necessary to guard her against
her own discretion or ignorance by throwing
over her act the shield of legally i'm all cases
where parties TO a marriage are not within
the inhibited degrees of relationship or
guilty of bIgamy.
