FANORS A WHIPPING POS +.
FOR MANY WIFE BEATERS COME TO
THE COURT.

These are the things that are dis
gusting TO Judge Kimball of the Police
Court. Prostitutes, drinkers and wife
beaterS. For some time the court
has been trying wife beaters From
s to 10 cases daily, for assault upon
women or husbands wives are tried in
the upper branch of the Police Court.
Without the slightest provocation,
men seem TO assault their wives, and
after they have been arrested and
brought to court, they generally make
appeals TO the judge not to punish
them. Very often the court takes into
consideration the place of the wife and
takes the defendants personal bonds.
What is needed in cases like this re-
marked the court few days ago, is a
whipping post. A man who strikes
his wife should be severely thrashed.
This idea of sending them to Jail,
where they do nothing should be slop-
ped. eve need whipping post, p"
said the codrt again, emphatically.
The case referred to was woman who
made an appeal to the court TO give
her husband one more chance She
was poor consumptlve looking
little woman, who had been thraShco
and beat by her stalwart husband.

EPISCOPAL MISSION wonK.
Changes Ordered In the Bible and the Book
of Common PRAYER.

Washington, Oct l2.-The House of
Bishops, after a brief session yesterday
morning, adjourned to the House Of
deputies, the entire body sitting as q
Board of Missions. Two trifling errors
in the Prayer Book were ordered cor
rected. An interesting change in the
Bible was ordered. The golden num-
bers which assist in determining the
Lenten season, are to be changed. This
is done but eight times in $500 years,
dating from the time of Pope Gregory
in the seventeenth century. These
numbers are placed alongside the
calendar for the months of March and
April, and by means of them the be-
ginning and the end of Lent are found.
This change goes into effect January
LIST, 1900, to remain until the year 1900,
when they must be shifted again.
A petition numerously signed ON the
| subject of marriage and divorce was
read urging: "First-That the mar
| riage law of the church is clearly set
forth in the marriage SERVICE namely,
that Christian marriage consists in the
union of one man with one woman
until the union is severed by death.
Second That this law does not permit
the mari iage of any person separated
| by divorce, SO long as the former part
ner is living, whether such person be
innocent or guilty."
Brief addresses were made by the
Rev. Williamson Smith of Hartford,
\ and Bishop John H. White of Indiana,
in support of the formers proposition
for training school for men intended
for the missionary field, and then the
Board of Missions adjourned.
Almost the entire afternoon session
Of the House of Deputies was con-
sumed in debate on the amendment To
the constitution providing for the for
nation of provinces out of the diocesan
and missionary districts, and 1t was
finally recommitted.
In the House of Bishops the report
of the Church University Board Of
Regents was agreed to and resolution
adopted abolishing the board.
An incident of the session was the
presentation of superbly modelled
silver loving cup to Bishop William H.
Hare, the presentation and address:
being made by Bishop Potter of New
York.

The Demand for the Pledge Resented.

The insolent demand Of the Addicks
Republicans that the Regular Republi-
can nominees for the General Assembly
throughout New Castle county shall
give their pledges to abide by caucus
rule in the matter of United States
Senator and political legislation, meets
with opposition in all parts Of the
State. The evident purpose of the
pledge-to give Mr.. Addicks control of
legislation as wei. as the senatorship,
in the event of the election of a Re-
publican Legislature-has aroused the
people, without regard to political
affiliations, to a point Of determined
resistance.
The Middletown Transcript, Regu-
lar Republican organ, resolutely repudir
ates the pledge proposition, which it
says is personal insult to every man
to whom it is proposed. "Let them
stand to their personal rights and suffer
defeat, il they must, like men, it
says. "We assert this not in opposi-
tion to Mr.. Addicks, but because it is
right. And it adds: "Let the Re-
publican nominees in this county and
State also dare to stand on their rights
They will do themselves credit and
honor by so doing. Let the schemers
commit the hari kari act if they must.
The political suicide of all such men
is contamination devoutly to be
wished"
The Delawarean, which is a Demo
cratic paper, opposes the giving of the
pledge on the ground that the caucus
system "opens the door wide to wild
partisan legislation and tends to do
stroy the individual responsibility OF
the representative to his constituents. -
Partisan legislation, it adds, sis
almost always bad, and it ought to be
discouraged. Under a. caucus system
there would be no end of vicious legis
lation. 1t would deprive u member o.
all freedom of thought and independ
ence of action and make him sub
servient tool in the hands OF the bosses
We do not see how man fit to be
legislator, nor, indeed, how any MAI
with self-respect, could agree ant
, promise to go into the Legislator,
with tied hands and a stifled con
science. A candidate willing to pa,
! such price as this for an office Ger
a tainly ought to be defeated. -
The weight of argument is agains
! the pledge, from every point of view
II refusal to give the promise mean
defeat, then let these candidates, a
least prove themselves men and go I
their defeat with honor. A conplianc
= with the insolent demand will mea
:. defeat Just as surly, and, as ha
before been remarked, defeat wit
honor is preferable to defeat attende

The Sussex Journal of Georgetown
claims that the election of the Repub-
lican candidates in Sussex county
would be calamity" and supports its
claim with the following stern arraign-
ment Of the Republican Levy Court of
Sussex county:
Surely there never was such dis
graceful body of men in Sussex county.
What have they done? They cancelled
q collectors bond in which one Of the
Levy Court Commissioners was surety,
thereby robbing the Taxpayers of the
county of several hundred dollars.
One of the members retained his seat
in the Levy Court after moving from
Seaford to Northwest Fork hundred,
thereby defying the laws Of the State.
They refused to seat member from
Seaford hundred, duly appointed by
the Governor, thereby depriving that
hundred of representation in the Levy
Court, and assuming revolutionary
powers unto themselves.
They gave us the worst set of road
overseers and the worst roads ever seen
in the county.
They were an unnecessarily long time
in sessions, thereby eating out the sub
stance of the. people and drawing the
tax collected, for their own salaries.
They have increased the burden Of
taxation by watering" assessment
lists.
They destroyed the credit of the
county to such an extent that county
orders are almost worthless save fol
paying taxes.
They have made the taxes of tn,
people unjust, in that they levied {
capitation tax of so cents, which vii
be paid and can be collected only from
the responsible tax payer; the irrespon
sible taxpayer has no inducement {,
pay his tax since it is no longer ;
requisite for registering and voting.
They have increased the county deb
and the taxpayers have nothing t.
show for it in return.
They have made contracts with pri
vate individuals which they are unabl
to fulfill, owing to the depleted state O
the county treasury. Demands agains
the county are worthless and well mig
uncollectable.

the climate Of The rnll,pplne..

Prof. Dean G. Worcester of the Uni
versity of Michigan, has written an
article on "Knotty Problems Of the
Philippines, for the Century. Prof.
Worcester says: The first serious Oh
staclc that will be encountered is that
presented by the climate. The islands
lie wholly within the tropics, and ex-
tend on the south to within four and q
half degrees of the equator. The heat
is trying at the best. Personally |
have found the burning sun of the dry
season less hard to bear than the
"muggy'' weather, when bright sun
shine alternates with heavy showers,
or the rain falls day after day without
interruption. One often reads OF de-
lightful days and cool nights in the
fall and winter months. After spending
three and a half years in almost con-
slant travel through the archipelago,
and visiting every one of tho larger
islands except Leyte, can say that ]
have mover yet seen day when man
could endure hard physical labor with
out suffering from tho heat. have
experienced the hot season, the dry
season, tho vet season, but never yet
have / boon so fortunate as to strike
.he cool season. .le'si
