LEAVING THEIR CARDS.

Car Nicholas. OF Russia. and his wife,
Europe. the chief purpose OF which is
visit to tire principal rulers on the conti-
nent. vienna, Rome, Paris. London and
Berlin will know the presence OF the i'm
perlal couple. nor is il impossible that
Copenhagen may be included in the itin-
erary. as King Christian is the cars grand
father. These visits are probably nothing
more than what, in polite society, comes
under the head of return calls for the CON
gratulations brought TO st. Petersburg
II is not at all probable that they have
any deep political Significance. though no
doubt quiet approaches 10 one combination
or another may be made here OF there.
II is because of this possibility that the
French people are exercised over the re-
port that the czarina is to remain with
Queen Victoria at Ralmoral while her i'm
pcrial spouse goes to Paris. None know
better than they how far-reachine is VIC
mans influence in the Politics and poll
cies OF European states. Besides. the
czarina was a German princess and is thor
oughly saturated with The national an
tipathy 10 France, for which reason il ma =
be suspected that she would use her influ-
ence with her husband to weaken the
Franco Russian entente and seek to estab,
lsh closer relations between the courts of
st. Petersburg and Berlin.
THE most notable feature, however, of
this imperial journey is the police surveil-
lance with which the Russian rulers are
surrounded Their train is guarded from
one station TO another. In every city they
visit detectives fairly swarm, keeping watch
upon people suspected OF anarchistic or
nihilistic tendencies, and state professions

wedding trip may pass off peacefully, and
they return TO their country safe and un-

ALL ABoUrL1.

Through one OF ti,oee processes Of mental
labor (which appear mysterious to- the oTdi-
nary mortal. the government has arrived
at the conclusion. that an army officer is
the proper person to arrange all matters
tainment OF Iii Hung Chang. prime min
lister OF the Chinese empire. whose visit 10
this country. if it have any official sig
Dificance whatever .isof purely diplomatic
character. Assistant Secretary Rockhill of
course, will represent the State Depart
ment in some sort of fashion, but the per-
soDal representative of the President is not
an official connected with the diplomatic
branch of the government, but with the
nrmy. Perhaps it is well that il is so.
for as the State Department folks are i'm
quandary whether Earl Ii is coming as
ambassador or envoy and therefore do not
know how to receive him it was best TO
turn the whole business over TO somebody
that does not care and win simply bid the
visitor welcome. OF course. another sec
ton OF the puzzle is that an officer Of that
branch OF the service was not selected
whose presence i'll foreign countries occa-
sionally devoIves semi-diplomatic functions
upon them.
But. after all, Ii Hung Chang will prob
ably be sensible enough TO overlook
these mere matters of form, although, Of

II is not to be supposed that Earl Ii is
going to be greatly impressed by the dis
play OF naval force in New Yoik harbor,
for he has had occasion TO see some
thing far more imposing in England, and
as for soldiers. Germany and France have
probably surfeited him with those. If

WHIPPING POST IN MARYLAND.

Within the last few days the spectacle
has been presented in Maryland Of man
being publicly whipped by officers of the
law. His offeDse was such that he could
not expect any sympathy. and to some per
sons itmay even appear thatthe punishment
fit the crime. for the man had NEST brutally
beaten his wife. whom he had suspected
and accused OF infidelity. 1t is argued by
those who favor this mode of punishment
in fact, the argument was most potent a
the time the law was on its passage in the
Maryland legislature-that Imprisonment
does not make i lasting impression upon
a man who so far forgets his manhood us to
lay violent hands upon woman. and that
woman his wife and the mother of his
children. Whatever of force there may be
in this reasoning, it is far oyerbalanced by
the ipdisputabiy brutaliZing effect OF
public casiigatioD at the whipping post.
In other words, the remedy is worse than
the disease.
The whipping post is distinctly return
10 a method of legal punishment thatstands
with the rack, the thumb-screw, and other
niediaeval instruments of torture. Itsbould
have no place among the penalties in-
ricted by law at the close of the nine
ieenth century in one of the States of
the American Union, among people that
boasts OF the highest civilizations; in a
state, moreover. whose confines are within
the shadow of the National Capital While
it degrades and huniliates the offender,
IL is scarcely less degrading and buniliat-
ing 10 the official called upon to admin-
ister it. II is doubtful, moreover, If Ii is
an effective penalty, so far as preventing
repetition OF the offense or giving
warning to Others is concerned. Few men
are so utterly devcii of all instincts of
manhood Us 10 strike woman, save in
Il fit of unbridlel passion or while under

son OF Decatur. Ala, at Wizards. THE
principa! factor in its progress is its ex-
tensive coal fields. 1t is this advantage
which has made Pennsylvania one of the
wealthiest and busiest of the United States
Already, attracted by the proximity of iron
and coal, many Northern firms have located
factories down our way and we expect
many more to follow when the revival of
business takes place.
The coal trade is also extending Only
the other day learned that the Western
Alabama Coal Association had received
barges which will be used in handling arse
quantities OF coal, and which will enable
the company to enter into competition with
the Pittsburg shippers. This arrangement
will put coal on ocean steamers leaving
New Orleans cheaper than other operators
can do. Millions Of dollars which have
heretofore gone into the Golfers of other
States, and principally into Pennsylvania.
will now be turned into Alabama Other
companies will be formed and soon every
foot OF ground in our valuable mineral belt
will be the scene of mining operations. II
