NO VICTORIA FOR HIM.
(Exchange.)

Although the chara cteristic wit and
humor of every race is made exceedingly
funny in Marshall 2. Wilder's telling, the
little humorist shines particularly when
he tells an Irish yarn.
It was the 18th OF March last" says
Wilder, land q certain Irishman ex-
pressed his intention to riding in sly le

Wilder declares that when O certain

was asked why be did not take just one
drink a day, and let it go at that, ne
answered.
"Shure, what good would won do? a
bird can't fly wild won wing"
. Wilder can also tell a story OF another
sort. Here Is one he tells Of an ancient
Hebrew gentleman, who had retired from
Wall street with a competency.
II am afraid / am not going to live

THE HAPPY MEAN.

Governor johnson Of Minnesota has
been discoursing on the subject Of
riches and poverty. He declares that
''the most vicious standard Of success
is that which sets up dollars and cents
as the height Of human ambition
Governor Johnson says, with Solomon,
"Give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me"
TIE governor has the idea that the
happiest people IN the world are those
in moderate circumstances.
Come people win think. though. that
he has curious idea of the meaning
OF moderate circumstances" He
thinks $4,000 8 year IS Just about
right. Any man who wants to live
right has no need for any more money
than that. And Governor johnson
makes possible the inference that he
believes the individual who mas less
must surely feel the pinch Of poverty.
must feel that he cannot crafty his
perfectly proper and legitimate desires.
Ten thousand a year! That seemed
e lot to Tittlebat Titmouse. and it was,
for his income was measured in pounds.
not dollars. Yet Titnouse was far
from happy. Before he reached the
end Of his career he found himself
sadly cramped for funds. But ten
thousand good, hard American dollars
Is also a lot Of money. A great, big
majority Of the people Of the United
States never succeed. in a lifetime of
We have not the figures at hand, but

one family in a thousand has an in

EUN IN THE HOUSE.

The funny men of the house of repre-
sentatives INDUCED IN a good deal Of
merriment over the Adams whipping
post bill Monday. Incidentally, the bill
was tabled by a large majority. Mr..
Stanley OF Kentucky was specially
facetiOus in his remarks. Among other
things. he said that more women are
suffering pain because they are not
married than suffer because they are
beaten by their husbands The Ken
tuckian permitted himself some more
driveI Of the same sort
It does not seem to us that there is
any occasion for humor in a bill which
is designed 10 check the evil of wife
beating. The Washington chief of DO
lice had reported nearly 500 cases Of
this character in a single year. It may
be true that in most of the cases a
negress was the victim, but that doesn't
mitigate the brutality Of the offense or
lessen the necessity for severe meas
ures to end 1t.
The Herald is Of the opinion that the
only proper method of Furnishing

reminds a brute, one who is fond OF in
flicting physical pain on others, of the
error of his way as effectively as the
administration of physical pain to him
self He should be made to suffer as
he has made his wife or other woman
to suffer. Such men feel no disgrace
from a jail sentence.
One who is low and mean enough to
strike a woman is too base TO feel any
ordinary disgrace. They would not feel
any disgrace IN being whipped. but
they would feel pain. The inadeuuacy
Of q jail sentence is further exemplifed
by the fact that such punishment falls
most heavily upon the woman who has
already suffered. She IS deprived for
the time Of her support. such as it is.
and she must feel the pinch of poverty.
The whipping post bill was not bad
one, and it is a real pity that it was de-
feated. Women should not live with
husbands who beat them, but when.
through a mistaken idea Of loyalty.
they persist in doing so, the law should
give them a reasonable measure of pro-
lection, even an unusual measure.
