The "solid south" i? a rt-cii neip 10 me repuoiicans. ( i is a definite political advantage to thm. They may threaten, but they will not do anything". They are perfectly con- tened with the present state of things. reasonably solid south is enough for them. New York Sun- Senator Platt, of New York, sefrns to have put the finishing touch ujon an already ridiculous discussion we refer to the proposed reduction of representation in congress under the fourteenth amendment. It was ab surd enough before. General KeifMr. of Ohio, had himelf sent to congTess as the consecrated champion of re duction. Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, preached the virtue and utility of or ganized reproach wanted southern representation affected by the agita tion to hold aloof, refuse their salar ies, and parade, in forma pauperis, by way of making the republicans ashamed of themselves. Mr. Morrf-11. of Pennsylvania, has also bulged into j the game, but his proposition isn t as funny as Mr. Piatt's, because he hints at some sort of preliminary investi gation, whereas the New York states man takes everything for granted and trims down southern representation with a single motion. Washington Post. Higher criticism cannot too -goon get to work on the question, Who wrote the president's message? Many are rising up in various parts of the land to claim authorship of at least parts of it. Mr. Hearst has modestly admitted that all that is good In it came from him. Congressman Baker of Brooklyn confesses that it is "per sonally gratifying" to him to perceive that the president stole some of his own ideas. Jacob Riis is plainly in dicated as the only begetter of the president's disquisition on Washing ton slums; and if Mrs. Van Vorst did not inspire the denunciation of bad conditions in factories, then the letter on race suicide was written in vain. President Mellen is another putative father of a portion of the message; and the claims are by no means all filed. As we say, then, the higher critios should lose no time in dissect ing out the component parts of this message of complex authorshSp. As the Pentateuch has been printed with the Yahvist and Elohist sections In different colors, so a critical edition of the message might be prepared, the Klis document re?eate, the Hearst yel low, and so on. New York Post. There Is one utterance in tho pres ident's message which eor.-.mends it self with special force to all right minded people: "There are certain offenders whore criminality tkes the shape of brutality and cruelty toward the weak, who need p. special type of punishment. The wife beater, for example, is inadequately nunished bv imprisonment; for im- ! . - - Prisonment may often mean nothing to him, while it may cause hunger and want to the wife and chilcreu who have been the victims ,of his brutal ity. Probably some form or corporal punishment would be the most ade quate way of meeting this kind of crime." Of course, this will provoke the tisual maudlin protest against punishments that "degrade." We shall hear the old familiar complaint that Hogging humiliates and demoral izes the victim. Ourpenal code must be formulated with a view to exalta tion and refinement. Shall a civilized government return to the brutal prac tices of the Dark Ages? And so on, ad nauseam. Not a word for the mis erable women and children who arc sacrificed to the savage passions of the wife-beater. No plea on behalf of the innocent unfortunates themselves. It does not seem to occur to any of these advocates of gentleness and grace that the wives who are habitually kicked and beaten by their husbands may be degraded by the process, and that children reared amid such abhorrent surroundings must inevitably grow up to barbarous and criminal maturity.
