LAsH AND NE NERVES.

THE fling Of Chief Warden Meserve at the
4 Delaware whpping-post, after he had re-
signed his position, was uncalled for. Those
who are familiar with the whipping-post as
a means of punishment know that it rests
with the lash welder himself whether the pun
ishment is severe or not. Mr.. Meserve may have
acute nerves, but it may be remembered that
sherifs for many years whipped prisoners with
out suffering premonitions Of nervous break
down.
The post has been employed more as a means
Of soaring criminals than for any other purpose
Sensational and exaggerated stories are sent to
the lemon press concerning the cruelty Of the
punishment which stories are accepted as true
by some The whippngs can be made either Sc
we're or farcical.
The prevalence of crime in this State during
the last few years has caused apprehension.
Abolition Of the whppng-post certainly would
not check the increase OF crime if it does not deter
criminals at present
Had the administering of the lash worked such
havoc with Mr. Meserve's nerves, as he intimated.
he could have resigned long ago. The New York
Times suggests that be may have continued
simply to study the sociological effect Of whip
pings.

EXPENSIVE ROAD BUILDING.

NEW JERSEY has made rapid strides in The
building of good roads, but under present
conditions Commissioner hutchinson fears that
the work will have to be halted because of the in
creasing expense Of construction One of the
reasons given is that the railroad companies have
secured all the stone quarres along their lines in
order to get material for ballast, and the road
builders are confronted with the problem of
high cost of transportation of materials Added
TO the increasing cost of freight is the advanced
expense OF labor in quarrying and crushing the
stone.
Commissioner Hutchinson has suggested that
a remedy may be found in the employment o.
convict labor on the roads, but there is objection
TO this, and to carry the suggestion into effect
county houses Of correction would have TO be
built for the petty offenders who would work on
the roads. That good road construction espe-
cally in remote districts, is very expensive. those
familiar with the subject in Delaware well know
Recently this county has been trying TO get rea-
sonable estimates for the construction of a road
IN Blackbird hundred, but the expense is ont of
proportion to the benefits that would be de-
rived.
