Publicity for Local Legislation.

There is some foundation for the ap-
peal Of the Federation of Citizens
Associations to the District Commission
ers for larger degree of publicity IN
the matter of local legislation.
As the case now stands, measures OF
vital importance to property owners
and others are forwarded to Congress
bv the Commissioners and are there in
troduced and acted upon, while citizens
remain in almost total ignorance OF the
effect of the proposed legislation. Even
the publicity which the newspapers at
ford does not always include all the
details, and it has frequently happened
that measures have become laws with
out being perfected by general con-
sideration The suggestion is made that
all local bills be published in their ell
tirety in the Washington newspapers
and that hearings be given to citizens
before the measures are sent to Con-
gress.
Under present circumstances, with
public hearings practically abolished by
the Commissioners, little or no oppor-
tunity is afforded anywhere for an in
terchange and expression of views,
especially if the committees on District
affairs in Congress fail to invite citizens
into conference during the consideration
of bills The people of the District, in
asking for an opportunity to be heard
upon questions of vital interest, are not
making an unreasonable request.

Economy on Railroads.

From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
Two great railroads. the Pennsylvania
and Rock Island, have issued appeals for
economy in small things-economy Of
time. coal. stationery, postage. &c. The
necessity for reduction in expenses is de-
clared to be urgent and even the lowest
employe can, by taking thought, avoid
waste here and there. What is true Of
railroads is true Of factories, mines,
stores, Offices, and homes. Americans
are proverbially wasteful. Economy in
small things has seemed mean and sor-
did to them. But such economy is wise
even where not strictly necessary, where
the pinch of want is not likely to be felt.
Economy is another name for scientific
for method, and efficiency.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
BY A. w. MACY.
PUNISHMENT BY THE Pill
LORY.

LOaI.
The pillory was used as a
means Of punishment for many
hundreds Of years in European
countries. 1t usually consisted
OF a wooden frame erected on
stool. with holes and moving
boards for the admission Of the
head and hands1 1t was former
ly used to punish those convict
ed Of practicing frauds or shams
Of any kind. The offenders
head and hands were inclosed In
the frame, which must have
been. a decidedly uncomfortable
position, and all who passed
that way were at liberty to
mock and jeer him all they
wished. 1t was a fine oppor-
tunity to get even" with ones
enemy. Later on the pillory
came to be used for the punish.
ment Of political and religious
offenders. and much gross In
justice was done in this way.
Sometimes those who were thus
made to suffer for their opinions
gloried In 1t. looking upon 1t ~
persecution for Righteousness
sake" In cases OF this kind the
friends OF the condemned per-
SON would gather around him
and lsite HAN their sympathy.
The pillory was abolished 10
