COUNTY BILL. roo.
Republican Caucus Decides to Push
1t Through.

Immediately after the session yesterday
afternoon the Republican members went
into caucus on the county reform bill. II
was decided to follow the same plan with
it as was followed with the township bill,
and a committee of thirteen, one from each
congressional district, was appointed to re-
ceive and consider the amendments to the
bill and to hear all objections. No time
was set for the committee to report, but the
general instructions were given that the re-
port should be submitted at the earliest pos-
sible moment. The opposition to the coun-
ty bill seems to be stronger than that to
ans who voted for the township bill last
evening stated that he would not vote for
the county bill,

done him when attention was called to the
fact that he was the only one presenting

the caucus that he should explain the pur-
port Of the amendment and that it was done
In accordance with that decision.

b1lNlAAlOAG III al
The officers and most Of the members
of the Humane Society of New York have
appealed to the Legislature for a law au-
thorizing the logging of wife-beaters and
of men guilty of gross cruelty to children.
The Washington Post says: similar or
ganiZations In other States advocate the
same method Of punishment for like ofenses.
Numerous experts in penology in all parts
Of the United States hold the same view
as the result of long and careful observa-
ton. Many newspapers, including the Post,
advocate the lash for the backs of scoun-
drels who beat their wives or infiict cruelties
upon children" These remarks are brought
forth by the recent whippings in Delaware.
The Delaware plan is attended with unneces-
sary publicity. ard il goes too far, but its
effectiveness is beyond all question.
In Maryland the whipping post was re-
vived for wife-beaters because there was
nothing in the law to fit this atrocious
crime. When enforced the law has a won

North Brookheld, Aug. 24.-some
prominent members of the French
speaking Catholic society have taken
umbrage at the statements made by
Rev. ]. P. Tuite and published in The
Spy Sunday morning. FIR. Tuite's state
ments were to the effect that he be-
lieved the French priest who was here
last week was one FIR. Laroche, who
was removed from parish in New
Hampshire because of his drinking
habits.
The French people believe that this
view of the matter reflects seriously
on their judgment as they think it con
tains the insinuation that they do not
care much about the character of the
clergyman they expect to get Ae-
cordingly, one of the leaders requested
The Spy reporter today to state that
the people in secession from st. Jo-
sephs Church are just as strong Catho-
lies as they ever were and that they
intend to have no clergyman to min

Catholic priest, who possesses all the
powers invested in ordination and who
has full liberty to practice all the
functions of his holy office
He did not want any idea to go
about, he said, that the French people
would be content with a cast-off priest,
as they want nothing but the real thing
and, what's more, he added, they win
undoubtedly get what they want.
