Whipping Posts and Stocks.

Whipping Posts and Stocks.
New lork bvCning Sun.
On dischargmg one who had been ac-
cusod Of beating his wife Mag,st. a.e
Dreen Is reported as saying: Il come dc
with those who believe tnat. wh.pp.ng-
pvats should be revived but IN this caso
it Is not the husband but tho wife VINO
should be whipped"
The suggestion is not entirely new. II
may be remembered that when the Suf-
fragettes were more Of a novelty than
tnoy are to-day Il was sravely observed
by some prudent and farseeing critic OF
public affairs that the on.y possible way
10 deal with th.s now evil was by hog.
ging. Imprisonment had been tried and It
was obviously useless. The women went
cheerfuly and emerged as martyrs; hence
there was nothing to be done but TO de-
wise some new method Of punishment. We
may look for a revival Of this delightful
proposal now that tho Suffragettes have
shown that by starving themselves tney
can secure a release in four or five Gays.
Another argument for the advocates Of
iogging is that the Sunragettes' martyr
dom has so seriously reduced the d S.
grace OF imprisonment that common
jail is Ia danger Of becoming fashion,
able resort.
That a magistrate in the twentieth cen-
tury should openly deplore the abolition
of the whipping post may seem little
odd; but there was a more extraordinary
occurrence in England the other day. In
this case il was. the pr suner himself who
complained. lie wanted TO be put in tho
stocks, and his plea was a strong one. lie
had been arrested for sunday trading and
the Grimsby county justices ordered him
10 pay the usual fine with costs. This he
did-in three-penny BITS. The money was
refused in this form and the prisoner was
threatened with o distress warrant. He
paid no attention TO tho throat, however,
and the justices have not offered to co ,ect
the fine The reason is obvious. The Lord &
Day Observance Act under which the
pr soner was summoned was passed under
Charles ii and provides that failure tc
pay the fine is TO be met by confinement
In tho stocks. Having learned Of this C.
turesque alternative the Sab5ath-breakel
let Il be known at once that he had nc
intention of paying his fine but was re-
solved 10 demand h lis two hours in The
public marlSot-p,ace according 10 the pro,
visions OF the old Act.
His position seems TO be perfectly
sound, for il it is objected that this form
OF punishment is obsolete the answer Is
that the Act itself must likewise be OBJ
solete.

aREAT LABoR CONGRESS.

HE international Labor Convention which
~ is in session this week in Paris is an inn
posing body of men as It represents five mill
lions Of union laborers throughout the world
Fourteen countries have delegates. Mr. Com
pers is the representative OF the Am9fican Fed
Grafton of Labor and he promises to take con-
spicuous part in the proceedings
Perhaps the convention is the most important
gathering of its kind ever held. The proceed
ings will show what school tof opinion as
to the attitude laborers should assume will con-
troll the gathering. II is not likely, however,
that the Socialists will be the dominating spirit
although the laborng movement in Europe is
largely under the control Of the Socialists.
Certainly il the convention were a So
ciast gathering, Mr. Gompers would not be
leading member of it unless 1t were TO combat
Socialism, for the Federation chief has always
been determined opponent of Socialism.
Many conceptions have been held by the la
boring classes during the last hall century in
!, fupt The most noted have been those un-
II n the auspices of the Socialists and Anarch-
for the bitter disputes between the followers of
the different leaders, the MarNist Socialists
and the Anarchists that upheld the red flag
of Bakunin. Allegiance of many worSingmen
swayed between one crowd or the other,
and at one time it looked as if the Red lnterna-
tionas would get the upper hand But the
present Congress is not like those of former
years.
Mr.. Gompers's presence would seem to indi-
cate that it is a congress for the discussion OF
practical methods of advancing the cause of the
working people. The congress will show how
ever, a wide difference of opinion in the way
OF looking at things from an American and an
English point of view, and from the Continental;
point OF view

When Professor langley was making
his experiments with flight in a heav err
than-air ship few were the occa sions when
anyone spoke Of him without sneerins al
lusions to Darius Green And that was
barely half a decade ago. Now the await
ors can come humping down to the
ground like wounded birds. but all the
former specialists in Darius Green have
forgotten their old lore and, on the con-
trary, are busly engaged in showing how
much they know about air navigation II
they will be a little wiser next tine and
give the bold and intelligent experimenter
fair chance without ieerng at HIM al
their sins may be forgiven them. but
there is not much hope.
However. what Is being done at Rheims
on the eTthany Aviation Grounds should
clear off the last doubts anyone may hold
as 10 the practical success Of artiic a
flight. It is not merely the fast and the
long flights under far 20 good conditions
which are so striking. one may reason
ably expect records Tor speed and dis
tance to be made from now on in rap d
succession iii great advances have been
recorded. The most striking phenomenon
is the ability of so many of the mach mes
to do passable work under bad wind con-
ditions, and OF some Of them TO do re-
markably steady work in the gusts. Paul
