We publish this morning the opinion Of the
Supreme Court in the case Of Dlahe o. Blake,
affirming the decree Of the lower Court, by which
Hrs Blake was granted g divorce from her hus-
band on the ground OF cruelty and abuse. We
also give the dissenting opinion, written By
Chief-Justice Breeae, and in which Justiccs Nc
Allister and Echolield concur. The essential
difference between these two opinions is the
Interpretation put upon > given state Of facts,
The majority do not 6nd in Mrs. Biake's walks
and rides and private conversations with
Mr. Thompson any conclusive evidence
OF guilt on her part, and look With
great iistruss upon the testimony given on be-
half Of LII. Blake by . detectivo hired by him to
watch his wife. Judge Broese, however, thinks
that these proofs Of intimacy between Mrs.
Blake and Mr. Thompson, even though no abso-
lutte evidence OF guilt is shown, are sufficient to
entit1e the husband to . reversal Of the decision
OF the lower Court and new trial and he ia
also willing to accept the testimony Of the de-
tective, and cites previous decisions Of the Su-
preme Court in which such testimony Vas given
full credit By that tribunal.

ing demand that no bargain be made with the
Dominion until submitted to tho people.
The Globe docs not consider the de-
mand extreme, but believes Dr.. Helmcken
cared more about the men WHO should make
the bargain than Its popular approval. An
attempt has been made by Canadian Opposition

the Union. The fact, however that colleague
of UeCosmos has been intrusted with the forma-

dence Of the local Premier's personal obno1-
iousness, rather than that the Opposition party
or the Province generally, were ant1gonistic to
the policy OF tho Dominion Government in re-

Senate yesterday not to accept Senator Me1ri-
mons amendment to the Currency Redistribu-

disagreement between the House and the
Senate that no decision on any financial
measure could be reached for long
time. To pass the bill as it stood would
give relief to the South and West, and would
not, ns some members seem to think, put on end
to financial legislation. On tho contrary. Sena~
tor Sherman promised that he would call up and
press to vote the resolution of the Finance

to few States, there is more potent element
in the new condition of politics. general to eli
tho States. Even to localize this element, We
find that 1t involves no less than s1ty-one seats
in the States of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wis
conBln, Michigan, and Missouri, where the dis
trict lines are unchanged from two years ago.
Here, then, are 1893 districts wherein, by new
conditions Qocal or politicalD, the old order of
things is apparently upset. The whole number
OF Representatives in the HOUSE is 292,
and it may be inquired whether, in
fact, the very issues md new conditions
will not entangla the elections to Congress, this
year, in every district. It must always be borne
in mind that, although the present is new Con-
eress its members we're elected while the Repub-
Ican party waa in the flush OF power, and not,
as low, on trial for its Life. The local politi-
Clans arc now diligently throwing overheard tie
present members of Congress by giving p1omi-
nence to the names and claims OF other aspi-
rants who were not successful in the nomina-
tons Of two years ago. They affect to ignore
that determination Of The people which threat
ems to throw the politicians overheard in bulk.
It is too early, as yet. to select the next Con-
gressman, in any district, from lists Of "eligi-
bles ~ presented; and it is more likely that in no
one OF these Lists is the name Of the coming man
to be found.

which is good RepubIican;sm in Connecticut 90
the eve OF an election, is denounced
the Republicans Of Connecticut are asserting
this principle Of non-interference by the Federal
Government with State elections, Senator Nor
ton declares that to adopt that principle would
deluge the South with blood. The Republican
party Of Connecticut declare their hostility to
any further increase O. the paper currency, and
insist On the early resumption Of specie pay
ments; but these principles are severely de-
nouoced BY such Leading statesmen at Washing
ton as Logan and Kelley. Tls Connecticut
Republicans do not stop here, but insist on q
reduction Of the expenditures At Washington,
and den1and strict economy for the, future
measures which the Secretary OF tho Treasury,
Secretary Of War, and Secretary Of tie Kayy,
supported by facile maioritics in both branches
Of Congress, refuse to entertain. In Connecti-
cut, On the eve Of the election, the Republican
party cries aloud for retrepchmen:, and in WASH
ington it demands increased taxes to meet in

This platform is patched up to meetthe e1igen-

it takes true and manly ground on the questions

FRANCE AND GERMANY,

1t is just possible that there may be second,
Franco-P1ussian war. It would seem, indeed
TINT Bismarck, If not Germany, desires it, and is
bent on forcing it if he can. BE is evidently
looking for pretext to begin hostilities against
thoneighboring country; and, 80 fertile is he in
p1ete1ts aud other resources, that we can see
no reason why he should not succeed France,
spite Of the drain Of five milliards and the
reverses OF the war, is recuperating. She is
growing stronger every day, and her continuous
growth ia an ever-increasing menace to Ger
many. Better strike Trance down now, thinks
Bismarck, than to wait till she has grown again
to be the peer Of Germany IS military power.
So, too, seems to think the Nordeutsche
Anqemeine Zeitune, Bismarck's reputed.. organ,
although it does not say it in SO many words.
France. Tho Catholic press and the Catholic
clergy Of Trance hayo decried Bismarck's course
toward their follow Catholics in Germany and
this is the casus beni With the French Govern
ment as Government, thoy-Bismarck and his
organs-say they have nothing to do !; no teaeon
to complain Of it. But with the French Coy
ernment as the satellite or ally Of Rome, Ger
many has everything to do. Germany is at pres
ent tho a7owed enemy Of the Roman Catholic
Church. Therefore, tho friends Of Rome are its
enemies, and in declaring war against Rome it
must declare war against them.
While endeavoEing, however, to bring On wAr
with France, Germany processes to be most any
ious for peace. She processes to object to the
course Of the French clergy and Ftonch Catho-
lies only On tho ground thnt their course has
tendency to disturb the present comparatively
cordial relations between the two countries, and
precipitato conflict. Topre7ent such an event.
Germany thinks sbe had better begin war her,
self, and put Trance, while yet in stato Of con-
yalescence, in position where she will not be
able to take the offensive; in other words, that
to discourage SO ungodly thing as war, it had
only tell her Bishops to hold their tongues and
not to whine in go unearthly a fashion over
treatment Of their brother Bishops in
Germany, he a7ers he would have no fault 70
dnd with her; thathe would allow her to recover
from defeat put her army On any footing abe
wished, and restore her Tar-na:cra1 to better
condition than before 1870. II, however,
she is not willing to bride tho tongues
Of these Apostles OF disEeusion. he must, in the
interests OF civilization and humanity, interfere.
Such is Biazna1ck's present attitude toward !
France. The recent elections have demonstrss- |
