The validity Of wedlock, under certain
circumstances, without a marriage cere-
mony, has been affirmed anew by Judge
Ashman, Of Philadelphia. The suit was
about the $4,000 that John Simon, dying
intestate, had left. For thirty-tour years
before his death he had cohabited with a
woman without having been married 10
her, but she always passed as his wife, and
she and her children demanded share of
tile property. The children by former
wife contested the claim, but have lost
their case. Wisconsin has passed law
legalizing the marriage of any man and
woman who simply agree to live together

matter of the imprisoned revenue of

not a few regard the silence main
tanned in official circles during the
past few days and the uncontradict-
cd boast of modification sympathizes
to the effect that Government will
yield in the issue it raised with
Judge Kershaw, as ominous Of the

grace that will be felt if the United

The EIeoiInn Of Indr.s-

The reelection Of Judge Bradford Il
accounted for in different ways. First,
Judge Bradford l. a clever man and q
good lawyer, and above all, Is a good
hand at eleciionearing. Then again
his friends almost all over the district
exchanged votes with the Republicans
to elect Trewhitt. Neither Mayheld or
Bradford being Republicans, Of course
the Republicans were not politically
interested, and were willing To vote
for either to get a vote for Dan Trew-
HIT and their county ticket. Mr.. May
fields vote consisted mostly Of that
class of voters that would not swap I'M
der any consideration.
Under the circumstances Judge
Trewhitt's election was not a surprise
to any one. His immense popularity
and well known ability pitted against
Hoyle-who had been in office
a long time and had Of course made a
great many enemies In his own party
was enough 10 elect almost any man.
Then again, Judge Hoyle refusing to
give Mr.. Gaut the race, made Mr..
Gaut's friends support Mr.. Trewhitt.
Mr.. Gaut's friends thought that he was
entitled to the race this time, and they
would not agree under any considcra-
ton to support Judge Hoyle. Had Mr..
Gaut received a clear track he could
probably have beaten Mr.. Trewhitt-
but no other man in the district, in our
humble opinion, could have defeated
him.

Tine Mexican Dollar.

A correspondent makes the follow
ing inquiries:
1--WE have considerable wrangliug
over the Mexican dollar. Some
claim it ninety, some ninety-ive, and
some one hundred cents in our mon
ey. 1t was currently passed here for
one dollar some weeks ago, but there
are objections now for receiving it for
more than ninety cents. Please give
us the exact value of it, and what is
customary for it to pass at in ordina-
nv transactions"
The Mexican dollar is not a legal
tender in this country, and creditors
are not bound to accept it 1t con-
tains a little more silver thanour own
dollar, and is, therefore, intrinsically
more value than our dollar. But our
silver dollar is IL legal tender for all
debts, and creditors are bound to
take it at par. This explains the in
consistency Of the Mexican dollar,
which is really worth more as bullion
than the United States silver dollar,
passing in trade at only ninety to
n~incty-two cents.

The Greenbackerr,

The greenbackers showed q consider
able hand in the late election. With
the help Of the Republicans they sue
ceeded in electing some II or two
county officers and in return they help
ed elect Judge Trewhitt. While we
have been somewhat in sympathy with
the greonbackers, it is well known that
we was opposed to their nominating a
county ticket. We were satisfied that
such action would incur opposition and
would injure the chances Of that party
electing a member Of Congress from
this district. But now if they will 60
straight forward and nominate some
good man for Congress they will UNI
doubtedly elect him.

Though this paper fought Hoyle to
the bitter end, we rejoice to know that
if it ever misresented him it was unin-
territorial. 1t has never accused him Of
being a drunkard or q thief; neither
has it ever tried to make the impression
that he was an immoral man. But on
the other hand we have always cOnsid-
cred him to be an honest, upright man,
and he leaves his judicial ermine with
out the faint of fraud on it.
