An attack made by Mr.. Griffith of
Baltimore, founder of the Prisoners Aid
association of Maryland upon punish
ment in Delaware was right and ii was
wrong. 1t was right 80 far as it con-
demned the promiscuous massing in jails
Of women and young boys with hardened
criminals, but Delaware should now be
credited with its reform school movement
which will largely alleviate this. And it
was wrong SO far as it condemned Mr..
Canby's defense of the whipping post.
Mr.. Massey, of the Associated Charities,
however, came to the rescue and defended
the efficacy of the whipping post.

hOuse OF COmnomhs
LONDON, June 8.-The government was
defeated in the house of commons this
evening on the second reading of the
Budget, which was rejected by a vote of
264 to 252. When the result was an
nounced Lord Randolph Churchill and
Mr.. Parnell jumped upon their seats and
enthusiastically waved their hats and the
cheering was renewed. Thirty-ni Par
.nellites voted with the majority. The
j minority included Sir Michael Bass, the
brewer, and several Irish Liberals.
Although strong whips had been issued,
many of the government supporters were
absent. Tremendous excitement was
caused by the announcement of the result
of the division, and Mr.. Gladstone I'M
mediately adjourned the house. II is
confidently rumored that Mr.. Gladstone
will visit the Queen to morrow and tender
his resignation.
LONDON, June 9.-The Daily Telegraph
says it is doubtful whether the Conserva-
tiyes will accept office.
The Nelos, in an editorial, says II is inn
possible to forecast the consequences of
the vote. The ministry will probably
resign and the opposition take possession
| OF the government. We do not suppose
that even the Conservative leaders will
seek to undo what has been done on the
| Afghan question. The whole policy of
the country il thrown into momentary-
we hope it may not be lasting confusion.
| LONDON, June 8.-The cabinet to-day
discussed Irish coercion for two hours.
Earl Spencer maintained his demands
and Mr.. Chamberlain and Sir Charles
Dixie submitted. The crisis is therefore
