Women and Men.

To THE EDTToR OF The SuS-Si-, The re-
marks OF " Benedict Two" In yesterdays SUN
are so striking. and his theory or Q third sex
created specially By kind Providence for
the satisfaction OF man and protection OF wo-
manhood" Is SO ingenious and beautiful that
i beg you to let him go on and promulgAte a
few more such doctrines. You cannot adj
vance the womAn's cause" better than By
giving US such object lessons. We need few
such for the younger women. that they may
see clearly the sort Of men they are now COM
PEELED to choose for fathers of their children
TIE Sun has wondered that Intelligent and
brainy women should denounee wifehood and
motherhood. The Sun should know that II Is
fast becoming the duty ofsuch women to do lust
this and to proceed before long from preAeh-
ing to object teaching. THE Sun should know
that these are women with warm hearts and
with every natural instinct OF Womanhood
strong within thsm-stronR as these feelings
are strong in Intellectual women-Who will do

Tho Republican Factions.

Last nights primaries of the Committee
OF Thirty's Republicans. while an earnest
and valiant effort to silence the carping and
censure OF the MILHoLLAND Republicans.
were no more OF a success than the MIL
HOLLAND primaries few weeks ago. which
were intended to put the Committee OF
Thirty's Republicans to rout. The reason
is perfectly plain. The truth Of the matter
is that the two Republican factions In New
York. dlscordant and antagonistic In other
respects. are united In but two particulars:
they denounce Tammany Hall. and they
attempt to copy the unriyalled method OF
TammAny organization.
The Republican party has leaders. 1t Is
true. but their leadership is not generally
accepted. A political army. In order TO be
an effective fighting force. must have Gen
erals and stan officers. as well as ordinary
soldiers. and the orders of command must
be cordially and uncomplainingly obeyed.
At the present time such Of the Republicans
OF New York city as take any active part In
political affairs at this time OF the year. are
wrangling among themselves and vast
ing their energies in determinations. The
first lesson to be learned from 1ammany.
"In union there Is strength" has made
no impression upon the warning Republi-
cans. One wing of the party seems to be
most busily engaged In discrediting the
sincerity and efficiency of the other. Both
wish to lead; neither Is willing to follow.
This was the position OF the Republican
party In town until masterful leader.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR. appeared, to weld to-
gether the discOrdant forces. but there
seems TO DO no ARTHUR at present in sight.
II the Committee OF Thirty's Republicans
can do nothing else. they can probably keep
the Milhollandites from, winning any sub
stantial political advantage. II the Milhol-
lAndites cannot win. they can Offset the
activity Of the Committee Of Thirty. Thus
the lAbors OF neither will be altogether
fruitless.

portunlty 70 locaiize and materializs In
stinct and propenslon. We don't blame DR..
BALL for wanting TO get the opportunity.
but his arguments cannot DO approved. It
Is not granted that capital punishment
is right. Capital punishment is more
and more regarded by persons with no
sentimental preposseselons ss berbarous
and futile impotence. Its Intellectually
as a deterrent is generally admitted. To
give TO 10 new and strange modern scien-
tlic forms. whether Of pain or palnlessnees,
whether OF electricity or chloroform, Is not
TO bring any new justification for 1t. 1t does
not prevent crime. It makes society an
accompllce In useless punishment. 1t
stands continually In the way Of justice,
influencing juries to the milder side. and
putting a hundred hedges OF defence
around the murderer. When capital pun
ishmcnt Is recognized as an obsolescent
utility, and a large portion OF the COM
munlty is prejudiced against the vlvisec-
ton Of animals. proposition for the COM
binatlon Of vlvisectlon with capital punish
ment must be regarded as the paradox Of
medical enthusiasts.
What the humanity and the common
eense OF civilized men require or should re-
quire In the punishment OF criminals con-
demned upon what are known as capital
charges. is q sure but not barbar-
GUS punishment Instead OF execution by
electricity or hanging. there should be I'm
prisonment for life. an imprisonment not
to be ended or shortened or mitlgated by
pardon. save In the case OF evidence OF In
nocence. Then juries would convict the
guilty. Then the guilty would have no
hope OF avoiding punishment. and the doors
Of the prison would close forever upon the
convicted murderer. He would be q man
with longer sentence, but with no more
glory than q vulgar thief.

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sr. Peach
blossoms will be open this week In New Jersey
and the shad flower is in bloom. and prom pity
following upon the great storm comes word
from Asbury Park aud other places along the
Jersey coast where fresh water streams run to
the sea that the herring are on their way to
their spawning grounds. The shad are due to
follow the herring. and while the peaches
bloom suckers bite at worms
The surf on Sunday was full OF herring. and
consequently also pretty well lined with men
and boys catching them with scap nets The
largest catches were made at tho opening OF
Deal Lake into the sea. and such like places
where fresh water runs out. for the herring
are seeking fresh water to spawn in. With
every high tide they will be found running up
the rivers and inlets and going as far as there Is
water enough to wriggie In. They run away up
the Shrewsbury. for Instance. into Hop Brook
sight. when the tide happens to get high
enough to flood partly tho sweet meadows
there. to see persons chasing tho herring on
foot and catching them by hand In tho grass.
Ii Is In that same nsiRhborhood that the
farmers hunt successfully for big shad with .
dog and gun.
como TO broad shallow places, where their
backs stick out OF the water or where they can
only get over by turning on their sides and
wrigglng. The hunters sit on a convenient
bank with a shotgun, shoot the fish. and re-
trieving dog brings the shad ashore. {.

This Ia not the time to take back rap at
the "hgh protectionsts" or Republicans,
for their relations with the Socialists; and
the former are not the party to be in

declared themselves Independent Of Great
Britain. and the Americans sailed. knowing
that In case Of capture they would probably be
strung mp to the yardarm. The Continental
Congress was preparing to fight for the inde-
psndenes OF the American colonies, and the
greatest need at that moment was arms and
ammunition. With . view Of supplying this
deficiency. Congress com missioned cruisers to
capture any vessel. armed or unarmsd. sail

transports laden with supplies for the British
army In America were on the ocean about that
time. and IL was In hopes OF capturing some OF
these that Capt BARRY sailed. On April IL.

fell in with the Edward. and after spirited
action OF about an hour he compelled her to
surrender. The Lexington had two Of her

the Edward was much heavier.
