viii be many prominent railroad Of
ficia.s of this and other countries. The
delegates alone will number 1000, and
the cause in which they are engaged
will induce many others to attend the
conference.
This community should have a par
ticular interest in the growth OF a
noteworthy religious movement which
has done more than al the safety de-
vices to make railway travel less dan
gerous by promoting the sobriety and
awakening the conscience of railroad
men. It was here that the Railroad
Department Of the Young Mems Chris
tlan Association virtually had its ORR
gin, although the first branch was Or
ganized at Cleveland in 1887.
Ihis movement which manifests the
remarkable growth Of Christianity
among railroad men, has made a deep
Impression on those who have had the
best opportunities to observe its opera
ton. Cornelius Vanderbilt considered
IL a profitable investment for his rail-
road to erect a 100000 building for
this department Of the Y. NJ. c. A.. in
New York, while the ate President
Roberts, of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, contributed largely to the
building Of the fine structure in this
city, besides giving much of his per-
sonal attention to the affairs Of the as
soclation. The czar of Russia is one
or the warmest friends Of this Chris
tan work among railroad men. and
WIZ be represented at the coming con
ference by two prominent railway
in the Russian service.
The conference will meet at the
building of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Branch. on October II, for a three
days session. The delegates will rep
resent a membership of $4,000, and win
be addressed by eloquent clergymen
and other religious workers and by
railroad presidents and minor officials
and employees.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Restore the whippiug-post

From Philadelphia North American.
Restoration Of the whipping-post for
the correction Of wife-beaters is urged
by the grand jury, and efforts viii be
made to induce the Legislature to give
to magistrates discretionary power to
order that form of punishment when
ever they deem fine or Imprisonment
insufficient or inadvisable Objections
to the proposed measure have been
made by some OF the judges, mainly on
the grounds that it is not in harmony
with modern ideas, and that whipping
degrades the man subjected to the pun
ishment A law prescribing corporal
punishmentlas thesole penalty and leav-
ing the magistrate no discretionary
power might be open to objection on
the grounds mentioned. although II IS
difficult to conceive of the further deg
radiation or EQUALIZATION of the man
who. drunk or sober, beats his wife to
crafty his savage lust of power and
sense of authority.
The whipping-post may be a relic of
the last century, as some OF the OBJ
iectors assert, but wife-beating is a
survival Of savagery that must be
eradicated, and is not amenable to
notwithstanding treatment on the
moral suasion plan. It is obvious that
in most cases a fine only increases the
hardships OF the abused woman and
family and adds another irritant to
the domestic strife, while imprlson-
ment in a notwithstanding Jail is not
only no punishment, but is a luxurious
vacation for the Grass brute who heats
a woman. 1t is admitted that the PEN
alties now applied do not deter and
that wife-beating is not discouraged
by fear of the law. That a more effec-
tive remedy for the evil is demanded
eventhe opponents OF the whipping
post admit, yet they fail to suggest
anything in the place of it.
The efficiency OF the lash as a cor
rective is not questioned. Bodily pain
is the only form OF suffering that can
be felt by men Of low intelligence and
brutal instincts, and the fear of it is
very likely to remain in their con-
seriousness even when all other normal
mental processes are submerged in al
cohOl
AS a penalty for theft and ordinary
misdemeanors, whipping would be
relapse into semi-barbarism and re-
pugnant to modern thought and feel
ing and il is probable that those who
deem the proposed measure a step
backward have in mind the whipping
post as 1t was a hundred years ago, the
common punishment for all minor in
fractions Of the law, and do not reflect
that 1t is intended to apply il only to
one class of offenders that cannot be
reached otherwise.
The arguments in favor Of the re-es-
tablishment Of corporal punishment for
human brutes who infiict physical in
jury upon women outweigh all the SEN
timental objections that have been
raised, and the recommendation OF the
grand jury should be Needed by the
legislature We hearfly endorse the
proposition.
Evening journal., 1900-10-05
Grand Jury Favors the whipping-post

Grand Jury Favors the Whipping post
From the Philadelphia Inquirer
The recommendation made by the
grand jury of this county that the
whipping-post be restored by Jaw for
the special benefit of wife-beaters is in
line with many similar expressions OF
opinion which have lately been made
upon this subject. It reflects what is
unquestionab,y a steadily and rapidly
increasing sentiment. Thoughtful peo-
pie are more and more coming to see
that for a certain class of crimes, for
crimes OF brutality committed by the
physically strong upon the weak and
helpless. the lash is the only adequate,
appropriate and effective form Of pun
lshment
That is what the Inquirer has been
saying for a long time, and it is graft
fed to note on every hand evidences
that the unreasoning sentiment by
which this reform was formerly op-
posed is disappearing.
II used TO be objected that the res
toration Of the whipping-post would be
step backwards. In a certain sense
so 1t would. Il would be an admission
that the community is less civilized
than had been supposed; but the mis-
take was made when it was assumed
that there were no longer those among
us whose brutal passions and instincts
needed to be restrained by the fear OF
bodily punishment Experience has
shown that such is not the case. There
still are brutes for whom confinement
for a few months in a prison where
they will be comfortably lodged and
abundantly fed has no terrors, and
who can only be withheld from the
qualification Of their brutal instincts
by the threat of bodily pain.
1t is for this class that the whipping.
post needs to be restored; nor should
the application of it be confined tC
wife-beaters. 1t should extend to al
cases OF physical violence committed
by the strong against the weak. The
brute who maltreats a child should b'
dealt with as severely and in the same
manner as the other brute who NAL
