Perhaps a score Of cases Of "whiskers-
and there was an aggravated case OF 1t last
Monday. in which man actually pulled out O
part Of another mans whiskers. Several Of
the offenders have been put under arrest, but
they have got of with light punishment It Is
a kind OF offence that has only recently be-
come known here. though 1t has been known
for ages in some European countries. The
sufferers BY 1t here are nearly always Israelites.
to whom It is especially e1asperating. Weare
told In the book OF SAMUEL that when DAVID
got ready to grapple with GOLIATH OF Gath
he gave notice that he would treat him
as he had treated the lion. which he
caught by the beard and smote." Then
again. on O certain occasion. "JoAB took
AMAsA by the beard with the right hand" and
soon aftsrward slew him. There is curious
case referred to by the Prophet EZRA. who
himself "plucked off his own beard and sat
down astonished." but there is no other eimi-
lar case In the Scriptures. The ancient
Hebrews respected their boards. and regarded
any assault upon them as gross outrage.
We cannot tolerate the introduction of the
practice OF whiskers-pulling into New York.
The whlskers- pullers must be punished to the
full extent Of the law. It Is not enough to
charge them with misdemeanor: they ought
to be held guilty Of criminal assault and bat
tory. for their offence is rank. When few of
them are sent to the penitentiary. other var
let's OF their kind may take warning.
The immigrants from the Danubian coun-
tries have introduced some bad practices into
New York; but whskers-pulling is custom
that they will not be allowed to introduce.

American Geographical Society ON last

cot the further imp etus II needs to Insure
the fitting out Of the expedition.
The neighborhood Of King william Land.
of the northern coast Of this continent.
where the investigators would carry on
their work. can be reached with compare
tive ease. and the expedition would not In
volve the perils which too frequently beset
Arctic enterprises. To achieve tho most
satisfactory results It might be necessary
to continue the effort through two seasons.
Az thorough study as possible should be
made OF all the magnetic phenomena OBJ
servable In the neighborhood OF the mag
netio pole.
Such an expedition Is likely to be OF much
advantage to navigators and surveyors.
and also to promote the progress OF our
knowledge Of the complex and only partly
understood subject Of terrestrial magnet

day In this branch Of physics is to discover
the law that governs the constantly occur
ring changes in magnetic declination. In

suppose that no moro promising inquiry
can now be undertaken than the proposed
enterprise by which 1t Is intended to do
termine anew the position OF tho north
magnetic pole and make careful study Of
all tho magnetic phenomena observable
there. It would be more satisfactory still II
synchronous observations could be taken at
stations along the northern coasts Of North
America and Asia.
The instruments for observing magnetic
phenomena have Increased in number and
greatly improved In quality since Sir JOHN
Ross determined the position Of the north
magnetic pole flfty-nine years ago. The
proposed expedition will undertake a work
Of practical utility and Of great scientific
interest. and no other project for investiga-
tions In the Arctic regions Is so worthy Of
public encouragement.

An Unconstitutional Convention.

II the copy OF the Constitutional Conven-
ton bill which we have received from our
Albany correspondent Is correct, there is
grave reason to believe that tho measure Ia
framed In dlrect violation OF the organic law
Of the State. In other words. the Constitu-
tional Convention bill Is unconstitutional.
Section OF Article XIII. OF tho Constitu-
ton OF the State OF New York reads thus:
AZ the general election be held in the year 1885,
and In each twentieth year thereafter and also at such
time the Legislature may by law provide. the ques
zion Shall there he Convention to revise the Consti
tuition and amend the samcr shall be decided by tho
electors qualified to vote for members Of the Lcgisa-
Sure; and In majority OF tho electors so qualified.
voting AZ such election shall decide In favor Of Con.
Ssntisn for such purpose the Legislature at its next
besson shall provide by law for tho election OF dele
gates 70 such Convention"
Observe that only one method OF choosing
the delegates Is authorized by tho Consti-
tuition. The Legislature must provide FOR
their election, and it cannot provide for get
ting them In any other way.
It seems. however, that in the bill re-
Gently passed by the Legislature and ap-
proved by the Governor provision is made
for the appointment Of eleven of the dele
gates. There are to be III delegates
in all to tho Constitutional Convon-
ton. or these 1913 are to be elected
by Assembly districts and so from the
State at large lin addition to the dele-
gates thus elected and after tho election
thereof" the bill goes on to say. there
shall be appointed by the Governor eleven
persons who shall be members Of said Con-
vention. and who shall have all the rights
and privileges accorded therein to other
members OF the Convention" Some OF
these appointed delegates are required to
be representatives Of the prohibition party
and some to be representatives OF labor
organizations.
No doubt 1t is desirable that these bodies
OF citizens should have voice in an assem-
bly, which Is to determine whether the fun
damental law OF the State ought to be
changed or not: but II they are to be legally
represented there at oil. 1t must be by elected
delegates. There is no authority whatever
IN the State Constitution for the appoint
ment of delegates to such q Convention.
The participation OF appointed delegates
In its deliberations and votes would deprive
the assemblage Of its character as o consti-
tutional body. and its amended Constitu-
ton would be a nullity In law. The Gov
ernor cannot be empowered. under the Con-
stitution. to appoint these eleven delegates
any more than he could DO to appoint the
entire III members Of the Convention.
Inasmuch as the election OF such Of tho
delegates as are ordered to be elected is not |
to be held. according to tho provisions Of
the bill. until aftor the Legislature OF 1898
meets. there will be time enough to remedy
the defect which we have noticed. II not
remedied. it will be fatal to the Constitu-
Honal Convention.

The Insane Of New York.

Nearly six thousand insane are in the
| asylums maintained by this city on Black
wells. Wards. and Harris Islands. and as
the accommodations for them are sufficient
for four thousand only. they are greatly and
sadly overcrowded.
This state Of things has continued for
several years. and it has brought much re-
proach on New York. but the Commission
ers Of Charities and Correction are power
less to remedy the evil. Accordingly the
Legislature at Its last session passed bill,
which is now in the hands Of Governor
FLOWER. providing for the purchase by the
city. at tho price Of 81 .OOo. OOO OF tho portion
Of Wards Island now owned by the State,
and occupied by the Commissioners OF Emil
grafton.
This part of the island contains largo and
important buildings. which will be no long
er required by the State with the control
Of emigration passed over to tho Federal
Government. and the accommodations Of
forded by them would greatly relieve the
overcrowding Of the city's insane. The re-
mainder Of the island. or the larger portion,
already belongs to the city. and it is con-
trolled by the Commissioners OF Charities
and Correction. The States land and build
ings have no possible use except for char
liable purposes.

Of humanity alone. Governor FLOWER.

quentiy. the Irish patriots. being crippled
in their resources. may lose some Of the
seats which they now hold. 1t is i'd
mitted on all hands that the Redmondites
will be considerably weaker In tho next
House OF Commons than they are in this.
and 1t Is quite possible that the Mccarthy
ties also may undergo some losses. No one
doubts. however. that the two factions
taken together will constitute large ma
jority OF the Irish members. and will, there
fore. collectively be qualified to proclaim
the will OF ireland. Nor Is there any
reason to believe that Redmondites and
McCarthyites will differ materially as to
the range and purport of the homo rule
