ooRponAL Punishment.

Tho Illinois Legislature Is now consul
ering n whipping bill, which, IL passeu'
will its supporters hope. go far to"a'u'
.,~o,,ont,ng the offences at which IL ~
aimed. The proposed measure does nv
| establish whipping as single pu"is"
mont for any OF the crimes men'ioneu'
h,, adds IT to the penalties already pro-
vlded by statute. :.
rho ,vronys for which the scourge Is
proyIded are among the most a'ioo''u'
IN the whole catalogue Of crimes sVch do
y,fe-beating. robbery, burglary &c III
all these cases the lash Is TO DC appi'eu
:, oddI,,on 70 the penalties already pre-
sor,bed and the number OF stripes pro-
nosed varies from twenty to Sixty ao-
cordng TO the infamy Of the OFFENCE coni-
United.
The hill makes the infection or the
Aoeeing mandatory. and the court py
n,hicb the offender should be tried wouid
,o,a no alternative but to order 1t along
with imprisonment. Each section OF 'ne
measure declares that the convict sha'i
be punished in addition to the punishment
now prescribed by statute by being "h'p-
ne1 with not more than" the designa'eu
number of lashes. The Judge therefore,
would have no option in the matter anu
as we take Il. the scourge would be ad-
ministered to one and all alike.
The whipping-if the bill meets the ap
probation Of the legisators-will be zone
with q cat-o'-nine tails, on the bare BACK
and the bill requires that the stripes must
be "well laid" on. only the court Oh
nclals and one or more physicians may
witness the flogging.
It is predicted that there VIII be some
livelv debates over the measure, ana It's
raeeaoe is by no means assured.
While we could not well pass judgment
on the bill without careful inspection Oh
II. we venture the belief that It's provi-
sions are too sweeping. The requirement
that noggings should be inflicted In every
case prescribed might work intolerable
bardships on criminals Of frail health or
nervous temperaments. The matter
should be left to the discretion of the jury
or court, who, from their knowledge OF
the case. could form an excellent idea as
to the proper punishment.
There is no denying the fact that public
sentiment has recently undergone a de-
cided change in favor of corporal punish
nent. Certain classes Of chronic Offend
ers. TO whom prisons offer no horrors
now regard the law and It's machinery
so lightly that they are continually In
trouble and consider Incarceration almost
q luxury. With these people enforced
idleness at the States expense has no
terrors. though they fear the lash and
quail at the thought Of the cat-o'-nine-
tails.
Some Of tho most eminent writer's on
criminal law are loud I'm thei- praises Of
the whipping-post and unhesitatingly pro-
nouncc 1t a necessity in any age or civil
lizaticn.

The Light of Easter.

Beatrice Harlowe. in the April Woman's
Home CompanionD
Welcome, o light of Easter morn!
Whose glorious banners span the skies;
Bring thou the hopc-of ages born
That bids all slumbering nature rise.
Again shall earth, triumphant, free,
From Winters grasp, sing forth her
pride.
Through Springs awakening melody,
O. light of Eastertidel
O. blessed light though darkly down
Ger Judah's hills her sun had set
Yet thou didst Calvarys victory crown
And gid pain-shadowed Ollvet,
When swift before thee fled the gloom.
The graves dark bondage thrust aside,
And c0nqueror thou DER death and doom,
O. light of Eastertide,
Fair, peaceful light. In blessings fall
Round weary feet and hearts that
grieve;
Lies fairest promise bring 10 all,
Thy lilies with its cypress weave:
Bring answer TO the anguished prayer,
Bring peace where pain and storm abide,
And thou the longest linger there,
O. light of Eastertide.
O, wondrous light that shining through
Long vistas of the speeding years.
Still brings the hope of birth anew,
As each returning spring appears;
Emblem of life immortal thou.
As Ger the world, through spaces wide,
There breaks thy radiant glory now.

,Pau Mall Gazette

The Hispano-American war has had
a considerable influence on the finances
of the Vatican. and especially on that
branch known as Peters pence.
This voluntary contribution OF tn.
faithful toward the support OF the head
Of the church reached its maximum on
the occasion of the first jubilee OF the
present Pope. IN which year about
= 10000 was gathered ia. This con-
siderable sum was not only not sur
passed or reached afteTward. but the
contributions gradually diminished.
principally in Italy. which. being near
the Vatican. feels less the fascination
and sense OF power OF that institution
! In France. where the republican poll
| cy of Leo XIII. did not meet with
Catholic favor. the same diminutiOn is
TO be noted. The cause at work in
Austria and Belgium to the same end
is the withdrawal of the Holy Sees
support OF the Catholic socialists. after
creating the party; in Spain and Por-
tusal the falling away in revenue Is
due to- the ever-increasing poverty
there. \ considerable blow was given
to Peters pence by the Institution oi
Propagation of the Faith OF Lyons
which refused to pay the annual tri.
butte of 10000 which has been given
from time immemorial. alleging that
as the Vatican bears no longer the eN
pense of protecting French missions IL

free from obligation. The Vatican
