Gov. Larrabe Asks No Fayors,

HE WANTS THE FULLEST INVESTIGATION IN THE
LIBEL SUIT AGAINST him.
The case of the state against Gov. Larrabee,
of Iowa, indicted for libel, was brought up in
the district court at Des Moines Wednesday.
The governor, appeared by attorney, who said
his client courted the fullest investigation and
would not seek or accept any technical advant-
age. He had been indicted not as person. but
because he was the governor of Iowa and had
circulated certain matters in the line of official
duty. The entire state was interested in full.
fair and prompt trial. The state was not
ready and the trial was postponed. Yesterday
the trial was begun, and the morning session
was consumed in getting jury.

Nothing Doing on the Isthmus.

Purser Kelly Of the steamer Colima, which
arrived at San Francisco Wednesday night from
Panama, stated that work is almost totally sus-
pended. There are few hundred men still
employed, but chiefly to keep the machinery in
order. The Jamaica laborers are leaving the
Isthmus in great numbers. Although 5000
men are idle no trouble is anticipated At

Henry Labouchere's Experience.


was at a private school: The master was
an unmitigated ruffian. If we did anything
wrong during school hours we were told by an
usher to stand on form. The master suffered
from lumbago. Periodically he used to crawl
into the room on all tours. rear up when he
came close to boy standing on form and
proceed to beat him sayagely with a cane
believe he thought the exercise was good for
his lumbago. Then went to Eton DR.. Haw-
try was the head master. He was an amiable
and kindly man and a fine gentleman. He
probably logged about twenty boys every day
on an average. He did it with exquisite polite
ness, and. except on rare occasions, the whole
thing was a farce. Four cuts were the oroh-
nary application, and ten cuts were never ex-
ceeded.
The proceedings took place in public, and
any boy who had a taste for the thing might be
spectator. II the victim fiinched. there was
howl of execration. Far from Directing to
this, the doctor approved of it. l remember
once that boy fell on his knees and implored
him to spare him. Il shall not condescend to
fog you, but leave you to your young friends -
said the doctor. l happened to be one Of the
young friends, and remember aiding in kick
ing the boy round the quadrangle for about
half an hour

Corporal Punishment at School.
WOMAN EDITOR THINKS THAT BAD GIRLS
SHOULD BE BIRCHED,

WOMAN EDITOR THINKS THAT BAD GIRLS
SHOULD BE BIRCHED.
From the London Queen.
The question as to the proper mode of in
ficting corporal punishment is one that has
been strongly debated. There is no doubt that
it should never be placed in the power of pupil
or assistant teachers; the head master or mis-
tress should alone have the power to punish.
The question that has been raised as to whether
girls should be exempt from it is. to say the
least, childish. Those who know anything of
the working of ordinary schools are well ac-
qualnted with the fact that, when girls are prone
to be troublesome, they are infinitely more diff
fcult to deal with than boys, and that there are
always in every large school some few who are
| amenable to no other discipline. They must
either be dismissed, to their inevitable ruin. or
they must be allowed to remain and practice
their wilful disobedience, to the destruction of
| the discipline of the school and the corruption
of the other pupils.
To say that such girls should not be subjected
to the only treatment that can avail for their
reformation is simply part and parcel of the
maudlin innane sympathy with the wrongdoer
that Is characteristic of a small section>of peo-
pie at the present time.
Much cutlery has been made against the de-
grading effect of corporal punishment. As Of
ten inflicted, the outcry is not without cause:
but that boy or girl can be degraded or in
jured by being caned across the shoulders is a
notion. All llnpulsVe punitive acts should be
lnterdicted. Boxing the ears is most injuri-
Gus mode of punishment; it often causes severe
and permanent injury to the brain. Striking
the hands with a cane, much more with hard
wooden pointer, is Objectionable, as being la
BILE to injure severely the tendinous Tissues and
numerous joints of the wrist and hand, but
birching across the shoulders where the broad.
fiat bones and ribs are good bulworks protect
Ing the vital parts. Is a power that should be
Entrusted to every head teacher in every school
A power to be most rarely used, but always to
be held as Nemesis that is ready to overtake
the evildoers. IT may be said that such senti-
ments are unnatural and not in accord with the
highest philosophy, but to take example from
nature, pain is to be regarded as an institution
ordered by higher than human intelligence
that prevents us from injuring our own bodies
and so tends to our preservation. There is no
law, human or divine, that prevents our utiliz-
ing it for the benefit Of our children.

Judge Newsome's Toast.

FROM the Atlanta Journal.
(. Major Warren has practical joke, ready and
loaded for all the uninitiated. 1t is q glass
an alleged glass, rather-of Florida orange
wine. When tired newspaper man or JUS
tice OF the peace who is having his election
contested, or a weary bill collector, pulls up
the steps and sits down with an air of loneli-
ness, the major offers him a glass of orange
wine. with some casual remark about il being
nice and refreshing. The glass is a false one,
like those used on the stage which holds the
colored water so that the lips can't reach the
wine they are watering for. Yesterday Judge
Newsome came in the Office chewing a lemon
peel The major remarked that it was a raw
day, and offered him a glass of orange wine.
The Judiciary songster took a note of il in his
memorandum book, then rinsed the peel from
his mouth and took up the tempting glass.
The judge is nothing if not poetical and he
started on poetic task, as it were:
"And thus it's been since childhoods hour
I've seen my fondest hopes decay &c
He raised the glass high in air and cleared
his throat, and inverted the chalice over his
mouth. But the wine was still there in the
glass. The laughter Of the little crowd that
had assembled told the joke, and was the first
intimation to the sweet singer from Greene
( hat again he had seen ''his fondest hopes de.
cay"
He won't write up the orange wine.

twenty-five hundred acres of ground of
the settlers residing on Fidalgo and
Guemea Islands, on condition that four
miles of grade should be constructed
the first six months; that At the end of
the first twelve months twenty miles
of road-hed should be constructed; that
mt the end of twenty-four months from
the signing of the contracts, thirty
miles of road should he equipped and
operated from Fidalgo Island to 4
transcomtinentaI connection. All the
terms Of the agreement have so far been
carried out. There are now 2,200 tons

Castle Garden Doomed.

The local politicians are sumewhat
excited by the report Il at Mr.. Window
expects to remove It landmark known
to all New Workers and famous as Il
relic; that is, the Old Castle Garden, al
the end of the Battery, the conspicuous
object st the lower part of the city to
those who cross the ferry from New
Jersey, once fort, later the scene of
Jenny Lind's triumph in opera, ana
for years the first landing-placc in
America of all immigrants. II is said
to he Secretary Wndom's purpose to
level this building to the ground, and,
30 far as utility Is concerned, this pur-
pose viii meet the approval Of every
body. 1t is an unsightly old ruin and
inipairs the beauty of the Battery. Mr.:
Window intends TO have the stone
building near by used for the purposes
of the Emigration Commissioners,
and it is also his intention, if possible,
to have these commissioners become
Federal instead of State officers. l. is
with great responsibilities and with a
good deal of power that the Emi"ra-
ton Commissioners are intrusted, for
they control the landing of good
many bundled thousand immigrants
in the cOurse.of a year. The State Of
New York has always claimed the
right to this supervision, and legally
there is no doubt that it possesses this
right, so that if the commissioners be-
come Federal appointecs it will have to
be done by arrangement with the leg
is!ature. The legislature would un-
doubtedly cede to the Government any
ri@hts they may have, but Governor
HUI would he equally likely to inter
fere with any such arrangement, The
patronage Is quite important, and
while there may be some politics in
MIR. WINDOWS purpose, he is undOubt-
edly impelled by his conviction that it
will lie better for the general govern
nent TO control eompieteiy III the case
of immigrants. Mr.. Window is ex-
pected to spend two or three days here
this week, and some 0f the republican
leaders say that one Of his purposes i'll
