UNRuLY CONNECTS SPANKED.
The Ideal Punishment for Criminals sue
cessfuIly Introduced in Illinois,
Monmouth Cll.l Reyiev.l

Monmouth NlLl heVie".l
As is well known, Major Robert W.
McClaughry, formerly of this city and
recently warden of the State peniten-
tiary Mt Joliet, is now the successful
warden of the State reformatory at
Huntingdon, Ia. He has conceived
and adopted new system of punish
ment for such institutions, which will
doubtless provoke extended discussion
at the next Worlds Prison Congress.
One day the sharp-eyed Major, de-
tecting one OF the inmates IN violation
of the rules of the sboe-shop, picked up
a leather sole at hand and treated the
astonished offender to thorough and
impressive spanking. The effect was so
wholesome and touching that 1t came to
the Major as an inspiration that be had
stumbled across the ideal nineteenth
century system OF punishment. lie
adopted the process ut once, and IS
charmed with its success.
For fear that exaggerated reports OF
the punishment might reach the public
and accusations OF undue severity follow,
he concluded to confer with the higher
| authorities in relation 10 it. lie inter
viewed tine Governor of Pennsylvania
and explained the plan and it's workings
10 him. The Governor was convulsed
with laughter, and said MAJOR,
heartily congratulate YOU on having
struck tho keynote, and ] assure you
that the good people OF this Common
wealth will sustain you in this wal
measure I promise you the backing OF
the National Guard, il necessary, in your
poetic plan Of spanking reformation into
your rebellious subjects.
He then called upon the chairman OF
| the State Board Of Charities. an old-timt
| Quaker. and explained the situation tc
| him. The Quaker chairman smiled
broadly and said major, thee deserves
thanks, and should go on with thy noble
work. 1t reminds me of my sainted
mother, who has been in Heaven many O
wear. II was her fayorite method OF cor
rection. and | tell thee, Major, she did II
well. Ii is proper and humane, and
approve Of thee handsomely spanking
thy boys into submission and obedi-
ence."
The Major reformed to his reforma-
tory thoroughly convinced that his i'm
proved process of punishment would re
ceive general appreciation. SO now the
weekly spanking school is feature Of
the institution, and the Majors own
strong right arm Yields the avenging
leather. The result is quite beneficial,
and the infractions of the rules are less
frequent and fragrant, as the inmates
have q wholesome dread of the shame,
disgrace and singing pain OF the Ma
| iors orthodox spanks.

The indian Problem Simpliiicd.
Nav York Hargtd

Whatever may be its immediate effect
there is no question that the death Of Sit
ting Bull will work lasting good for the
Indians themselves as well as the country

No savage has done so much 20 foment

Without the power of a bold, brave chef

possible means have been exhausted to re-
tain the friendly Indians now on the reser-

tions.

FOR FINANCIAL RELIEF.
Republican Agreement on Bill-Ciosure
ms Regards the Force BIZ.
fBy talegraph 10 the Dlspatcn.I

WAsHIyGToS, December 17.-Ihe third
causus of Republican senators on the
state Of business was held tonight and re-
suited in an agreement. The basis was
the adoption Of the financial scheme re-
ported by the caucus committee with the
exception of the per cent bond project
which was eliminated. SO the measure
will provide for the purchase Of the twelve
million-dollar silver bullion surplus, the
reduction of the compulsory requirement
of bond deposits 10y national banks. the
extension of national bank circulation 70
the full amount Of their bond deposits,
the replacement Of the deficiency IN ma
tional bank circulation below SlsO.OOO,OuO
by treasury notes based on the silver bull
lion purchases, free coinage when silver IS
maintained at par for one year, charge
on the conversion Of gold coin into bars
and the Tecoinage Of subsidiary silver
coins.
This measure was not satisfactory IN
every detail TO all the senator's but was ac-
cepted as the best possible compromise.
The measure was recOmmitted TO the eau
Gus committee with instructions 10 perfect
il in form and give II over to the Finance
Committee. which will report 1t TO the
Senate at an early day.
A CLOSURE RULE.
/ The caucus also instructed the Commit
tee on Rules to propose and report through
Chairman Aldrch a closure rule. 10 IS un-
derstood that II will be framed on the lines
of the rule proposed last session by Sena-
tor Hoar. and will provide for ordering the
previous question on any pending PROPOSE
ton after reasonable time allowed for de
bate. This rule Is not TO be reported until
the financial bill has been presented 70 the
Senate by the Finance Committee. No pro-
vision was made for the adoption of extra
ordinary measures to secure action by the
Senate upon the proposed new rule, and
future developments are expected TO shape
the policy of the majority IN that respect.
While the financial bill is in process Of con
struction the debate on the elections bill i
expected TO continue. The friends of this
measure were satisfied with the programme
agreed upon, as they thought they saw in
the proposed new closure rule means OF
securing final action upon their fayorite
bill.
The twelve million ounces Of silver bull
lion is 10 be purchased during the calendar
wear not exceeding three million ounces in
any one month, and il in addition 10 the
amount now required to be purchased
monthly.
