THE scandal monger has been feasting
for several days now, over the latest in
high life, the parties beng Senator Ros-
coe Conkling, the brilliant and successful
politician, and the fascinating and accom-
plished Mrs. Kate Chose Sprague. In
our judgment, it is not an occurrence to
rejoice over. Mrs. Sprague, the daughter
of our great Salmon +. Chase, is beauti-
full accomplished woman-but unhappily
married. Roscoe Conkling is one of our
greatest politicians, and, withal, one of
the best. A man who has won by manly
methods. He, too, has a ghost at home.
Although living part of the time in the
same house, he and his wife have lived
as widely apart as though they had never
been more than mere acquaintance.
The whole affair is one which will
make good men and women grieve. 1t
can bring only wretchedness to the par
ties most interested, and harm to the
country at large. The public prints be-
ing full of it, it familiarizes the public
with such love affairs-it turns the public
mind into these channels, and harvest
of such cases is the sure result. 1t is the
Beecher-Tilton business over again. View
1t in whatever way you will, it is sad
affair: 1t tells a story, the dark back
ground of which is only misery.
