LASHING Is THE MOST
HUMiLIATING PUNISHMENT
Opinion General Magistrates
Are Entirely Too Lenient
With Criminals.
BY PAUL VILLIEES.
ial Cable TO The Tribune.

who interest themselves in all public ar
/ fairs. are seriously considering whether !
or not it would not be good thing TO
revive the custom OF lashiug dangerous
criminals, commonly called apaches. |
| There Is q very general opinion that mag
! istratss are too lenicnt and do not pun
| lsh them In the full extent OF the law.
Men interested say the re-establisbmcnt
Of corporal punishment is necessary. |
! Nothing IS so humiating 10 a man as 10
be whipped. The practice OF using the |
cat o-nlne-tails may be revived The
Figaro says about corporal punishment; !
There are no longer any apaches In
| England since the revival OF corporal
punishment. An Oil English policeman |
said that this IS the only punishment
that has any effect, and this Js the way
TO get rid or the apaches YET. but be- !
tween the apache and hrs victims there
Is parliament which thinks that. with
English peopip llaN. no such srruple. |
and Yet there IS no country where self !
respect is greater or the dignity or inde
pendence felt more. But the English
make distinction between the person
who accepts the Jaws OF society aud The
OF the former in his eyes is sacred and
those who abide by the law and those
who break 1t should not bc treated in the
same way This Is The only equitable
way OF viewing things. and we know that
at one time London WAS ulI Of bandits
anu that now they. are SO afraid % the
cat 0 -ninc-tails that uey have almost
disappeared
