PHNISHING WLEE- TERH.

The members of the New jersey House have
been so worked up by statements showing the
prevalence of wife-beating that they have
passed bill providing that criminals of that
kind shall be whipped. 1t is thought that the
bill is unconstitutional, and even if il were not,
there is no good ground for believing that il
would answer the purpose aimed at Possibly
there is no danger that the spirit of wife,
beater would be broken by ilogging him, but
there is danger that he would avenge himself
upon his unhappy partner for the humiliation in
ncted on him. So long as the wives whose hus-
bands beat them do not seek divorce, in fact, it
is hard to find adequate punishment for the
brutal fellows. The behavior of such wives too
is often calculated to paralyze justice, for they
frequently refuse to testify, and usually mani
fest strong indisposition to do anything that
will contribute to the conviction of their tyrants
No doubt in many cases tins is due to fear
They know that presently the ruflian will lie
released from prison, and that then, if they
helped to convict him, he will undertake to
get eyenr with them. But there arc also
many cases in which the wife really loves the
coward who abuses her, and in which she pre-
fers ill-treatment by him TO life without him.
~
rule it can do nothing. The woman is a free
agent, and if she elects to put up with the
brutality of her husband, all that can be done is
to punish his assaults in the ordinary way.
1t may, however, be questioned whether
chronic brutality of this kind should not be
made to effect compulsory divorce under certain
circumstances. For though the wife may be
willing to endure her sad lot, it does not follow
that the State is bound to leave her to It, and it
is perhaps susceptible of demonstration that
public morals require interference in such cases.
That any change in the existing system would
do away with suffering and hardship is probably
too much to hope. There are many ill.mated
wives who would not know how to earn living
if they were divorced. There are many-a
whole class, in fact-who do not believe in
secular divorce at all. There are others who
bear anything and everything for the sake of
their children. But It seems an open question
whether it is sound .policy to permit woman's
devotion. unselfishness, helplessness. or re-
ligious sentiment, to reinforce and assure i'm
munity to the brutality of the wife-beating hus-
band. AS the case stands, these influences cer-
tainly do shield the ruflian and encourage his

A UASTEETL DEP1RTMENT.

Comm ,ssioner Squire is proving himself an
apt learner IN the Hubert o. Thompson school
of politics. In the way of increasing public
expenditures to benefit political associates he
threatens even to eclipse his teacher. In the
eyes of his supporters Thompson had the proud
pre- -eminence of surprising any of his predc-
cessors excepting Tweed, but it looks as though
he might yet be stripped of his laurels.
In the four years of his term Thompson ran
the expenditures of the Public Works Depart
ment up to total of S,031, ,635, as compared
with 81 1,O71, ,794, which Allan Campbell ex-
pended in the previous four years. But
Thompson never had the assurance to ask the
Legislature to increase his appropriations after
the Board of Estimate had finally passed
upon them. He dId begin his career III the de-
partment by going to Albany to lobby through
a bill 10 secure to himself the building OF an
aoueduct, but in that he failed. Mr.. Squire,
obliyious of the home rule pretensiOns OF his
party, wants the Legislature to override the
Board of Estimate and give him more money
IN expepd i'm 1899 orders for the benefit of
Maurice b. Flynn and Richard A. Cunningham.
| They are the chief supporters, financially, OF
Mr.. Thompson's 'hall." The methods by which
they preyed upon the city treasury through the
| medium of the Public Works Department were
| fully exposed and denounced by the Grand
| Jury as well as by the Senate Committee.
1t is inconceivabe that any member OF the
Legislature, having the slightest regard
for the interests of this city, should
| support a bill TO increase the appro-
priation for the Public Works Department.
| We shall refuse to believe that any Republican,
| at least, can lend himself to such scheme,
until good evidence of the fact is produced.
What ought to be done is to pass bill repeal =
| ing the old Tweed law which gives the Depart
| ment the right to expend, by the issue of bonds,
81 900, 900 annually to increase the water sup
ply. 1t is an outrage to permit such law to
remain on the statute books, particularly when
the Aaueduct Commission has full power to do
that work, and is expending millions for that
purpose. AS to Mr.. Squire, If he Goes not feel
able TO carry on his department with an appro
| priaton half million dollars greater than
| Allan Campbell had for the same purpose, the
sooner he resigns the better for the public in
| terestS.

TIE GORDON MEMORIAL.

General GordOn's biographers agree in
describing him as a singulaTly modest man.
One of them who submitted proof-sheets to him
for criticism had the modification of seeing the
naces fall one by one into the waste basket and
of receiving reprOof for indulgiDg in adula-
tion and hero-worship. Another, warned by
the sorry experiences of his predecessors, wrote
his book without consulting the subject of the
memoirs, and excused himself in the preface by
explaining that the work would have been
ruined il it had contained only what General
Gordon was willing to have the public know
about his life and character. One of his
strongest traits was his dislike of publicity.
The happiest years of his life were undoubtedly
those passed in retirement at Grayesend after
his victorious campaign in China. lie returned
to England to receive an appointment as
supervising engineex of public works at the
mouth of the Thames. 1t was dull prosaic
work for the leader of the Ever Victorious
Army, after his astonishing career in the East.
But instead of complaining OF the Govern
ments neglect and want of appreciation, he
courted obscurity and enjoyed retirement and
quiet. There is no chapter in that evcntful life
more honorable or more characteristic than that
which recounts his deeds of charity at
Grayesend, his acts of self-denial, his visits to
hospital and poorhouse. his work in the ragged
schools and his prayers for the sick and idying.
memorial to him ought to be at once modest,
benefcent and practical
The Memorial COMMITTEES have apparently
caught tho inspiration of the most uneventful
passage In General Gordon's life. They have
decided to erect hospital at Port Said. The
suggestion does not appear to be well received

of the Prince of Wales. The objection is raised
that Port Said is not connected with any par

rusianIy tendencies, and there is reason to be-
leve that the crime of wife-beating Is on the
increase.
The problem is how effectively to punish
the wife-bea without furnishing his victim
also and it is difficult one. Whipping is not
the remedy for the evil. 1t expresses the senti-
ment of the public toward the offence, but it
does not tend to check the latter, and may on
the contrary aggavate it. A compulsory
separation would perhaps have a more salutary
tendency. The knowledge that an external
power, not to be bulled or cajoled, might inter-
nose to take his victim out of his hands, would
probably teach self-restraint to all but the most
reckless, and the measure might thus operate
powerfully as a preventive. The principle sus-
gested, moreover, is more in accord with modern
tendencies than the revival OF the whipping
post, which smacks too strongly OF barbarism.
New-York tribune., 1885-03-25
M REFORM ABOUT 1T

The real character of good many professed
Civil Service Reformers crops out In their
enthusiastic appreciation of Mr.. Pendleton's ap-
pointlnent as Minister to Germany. This they
profess to regard as evidence that the President
will carry into effect, In the conduct of the de-
partments generally, the principles OF Civil
Service Reform. But Mr.. Pendleton, as Minister
10 Berlin, has no more power in that direction
than Mr. Pendleton, a private citizen OF Cn-
cinnati He has no control over appointments
He will have, it is true, an admirable oppor-
tunity to study the civil service OF Prussia, put
no opportunity whatever to influence puDhc
opinion in this country. Indeed, 1t would seem
probable that his selection was intended to put
him out of the way of having any political
influence.
Had President Cleveland desired to recognize
the services of Mr.. Pendleton to the cause OF
reform, or had he desired to give Mr.. Pendle-
toms ideas on that subject weight in the admin
istration, and large influence in the making OF
appontments, it would have been easy for him
to do so. IIo had only to select Mr.. Pendleton
for either of several Cabinet positions, which
he was emnently fit to fill. No one will doubt
that he would have been better qualified for the
charge of several departments than the gentle
men who have been selected. Ii was strongly
urged. also, by his friends, and by advo-
Gates of reforms generally. that MI
Pendleton should be selected for
seat in the Cabinet, and 1t has been WIN
reason regarded as evidence that Mr.. Cleveland
does not intend to accept Mr.. Pendleton's ideas,
or to indorse his past course in respect to the
Civil Service, that he declined to give Mr..
Pendleton any opportunity to carry those ideas
into effect. His selection as Minister to Berlin
is n creditabe one, but it does not mean in any
respect what the sham retormcrs profess to
think it does. On the contrary, it is strong evi-
dence that Mr. Cleveland does not want men
like Mr.. Pcndloton to have political influence in
this country for the next four years.
