A BROKEN CONTRACT.
Fred Batlev Divorced from HIS Wife Kate.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Fred BatleU Divorced from HIS Wife Kate.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Fred A. Bailey, for thirty five years prom
inent throughout the country as manager
and contracting agent Of circuses, was
divorced from his wife, Kate Bailey, last
Saturday. The case was heard before Judge
Smith, the ground of action being adultery.
The parties have been married sixteen or
seventeen years, the lady's maiden name
being Beckwith. At the time of her mar
rage to Bailey she was the widow of
Charles "Walters,'' celebrated circus per-
former in his day. He was the father of
the young lady, Miss Frankie Bailey, who is
reported to be the handsomest bru-
nette in the city. Mr.. Bailey set
forth in his application for the di-
vorce that his wife had been criminally in
innate at divers tunes and places with
certain William Burt. q pork man of this
city. But four witnesses were examined,
their testimony being direct and conclusive.
Mrs. Bailey made no defense and the decree
was granted as above stated. Mr.. Bailey
has suit for $4,000 pending against Burt
for the seduction of his late wife. He also
claims that she made away with between
$1,000 and 81, 600 of his money, and believes
that she gave it to Burt. Mrs. Bailey is
well known in this city, and is remark
able stylish aud handsome woman.

s The Normal school and Prof. Phelps.
iWabas haH Herald.

Il is said that the normal school board
have resolved that no one who is now resi-
dent of Minnesota will be appointed to fill
the vacancy occasioned by Prof. Morey de-
clining the principslship Of the Winona
school. If there is a competent man who
is resident of the State he should be given
the preference. AS Prof. Phelps now re-
sides at Winona, perhaps this resolution was
adopted for purpose. He made the Vino
ma normal school what it is and there is
probably no man better fitted for the posi-
ton than he. But that's the way of the
world. The person who does the most to
build up an institution gets the least credit.
Even the GLOBE IS indignant-whose editor
has called normal schools horse leeches and
all that-and comes out and says, "the alb
surdity and injustice of such resolution is
too apparent to require argument and it
is about correct. If there are not men Ca
pable of holding the position who reside in
the State, Why this resolution3 If there are
men capable, the interest of education de-
mands that they shsll not be ruled out on
the mere whim Of board.

ARKANSAS SILVER MINES.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, May 26.-Trustworthy
advices from the silver mining region in Mont
gomery county. near Hot Springs. are to the

taken from several mines are very rich. The

The Democrats have more than an
even chance of carrying all three of
the doubtful States, and are
morally certain of carrying both California
and New York, which would give them an
undoubted majority of the electors. So that,
leaving Ohio out of the question altogether,
the party is safe. But if, by any peradven-
ture, We should happen to lose New York and
California, the vote of Ohio would be ne
cessity. In such an emergency, which is
fortunately not likely to arise, Ohio would
have reason to plane herself if she should
happen to turn the scale between the repre-
sentatives of true Democracy and monarch
ism. We have no disposition to underrate
the Importance to the Democracy of carrying
Ohio next year and this year as we'll, but
don't fancy the effort made by the newspa-
pers of that State to make it appear that the
fate of the whole nation hinges upon her.
Ohio is reasonably certain for the Democ-
racy at any rate, and if wise nominations are
made and an energetic canvass had there is
no good reason why she should not array
herself in the phalanx of Democratic States
and remain there forever.

Mr.. HAYES has had another opportunity
to display little unnecessary backbone.
He was interviewed the other day regarding
the negro exodus and declared with an air
of bravado that tho negroes had right to
emigrate wherever they choose, and he
should maintain that right by all the power
of tho government. AS nobody is hindering
the negroes from following their own in
clinations in this matter, the task Hayes has
put upon himself is tolerably easy one. He
is simply trailing his coat-tail and daring
any one to tread upon. it. 81

A WASHINGTON dispatch to Chicago pa
per says that the Democrats in Congress
sent an embassy to Mr.. Hayes on Saturday
to try and arrange compromise on the
pending. legislation, which was rebuffed with
the remark that he would approve only such
bills as were sanctioned by his party, but
would disapprove of all others. We don't
believe it. The Democrats are not in the
mood to demean themselves by any appeal
to Mr.. Hayes. They are able to paddle
their own canoe without his aid.

DETERMINING ELECTORAL CON

DETERMINING ELECTORAL CON
TESTS.
The House committee on ascertaining the
electoral count for President and Vice Presi-
dent reported bill to that body last week
which prescribes the manner in which the
votes of the several States for the chief Of
fcers of the country shall be determined.
It is long document, and by reason of its
importance is not likely to be fully consider
ed at the present session of Congress. 1t
should, however, be fully understood by the
country. SO that full expression of opinion
may be had upon the several provisions by
which it is proposed to change the present
law.
In the main the bill is copy of the law
now in force. The principal change is made
in the matter Of determining cases in which
the vote is in contest The statutes as at
present existing prescribe no definite manner
of determining these contests, and a State
is liable to Acknowledgement on account of
tho objection of either house of Congress to
the counting of its vote. The fifth section
Of the bill proposed prescribes that ''Contro-
VERSES as TO the electoral vote in any State
uasy be- passed upon by It's highest Judicial

The Wo,.knsen.

There was not SO large meeting at Bridge
Square last evening on Saturday evening,
but those present showed determination to
right their grievances and also that they knew
the best way to go about it The men assem-
blcd were respectable, intelligent working men,
mostly men with families and all Industrious,
hard workers, who have been working during
the winter (when they could get it) and up to
the present time at wages upon which
they maintain that it is impossible
to buy food for family and pay rent or taxes.
Many workmen reported that they respectfully
asked their employers yesterday morning for an
advance of wages, and that the request was
fatty denied, with the assurance that the en-
ployer was thinking rather to reduce wages;
that plenty of men could be obtained at dol
lar day. One employer stated that it was
not likely that a day laborer was going to be
paid more than school teachers, and they were
only paid $:.25.
The next meeting will be held in a public
hall, which will be duly announced in the
GLOBE.

tribunal, who shall send it's decision under

tribunal. who shall send it's decision under
seal to the president of the Senate" This,
it seems to US, is very sensible provision,
for it leaves such controversies to the
tribunals that are most likely to be correctly
informed as to the facts at issue, and can
most readily ascertain the justice or injustice
of certain claims. The supreme courts OF
the several States are not as liable to be
composed of partisans as are any other
tribunals, for generally their members are
chosen with little reference to their political
predictions. We could therefore look
for strictly judicial decision
with far more confidence than
if the question was delegated to Other au-
thority. The wisdom Of the section is, there
fore. apparent to every one.
The seventh section of the bill continues
in force the present system in all cases where
there is a contest but no judicial decision,
such as is contemplated in section 5. This
will, however, be imperative for the most
part, for where contests arise, one party or
the other will be certain to have judicial
decision on the mooted points. &,
Tho limitation of debate on contests is
another good feature of the bill, and will
meet with hearty approval. Debates in
Congress are altogether too diffuse, and may,
in cases of great emergency, be protracted
indefinitely. Some curb ought to be placed
upon the Pograms who are always SO anxious
to air their eloquence, especially on gus stions
of such character. d
The remainder of the bill makes but in.
consequential changes in the existing law
only sufficient to render those amendments
referred to operative. It seems to us that
these amendments are opportune and neces.
sary, and ought to receive the sanction Of
Congress at an early day, unless some more
satisfactory plan can be devised. Something
certainly ought to be done before the mex
Presidential election to avoid such contro
versy as arose in 1876, for it is not likel..
that such another contest will result as peace
ably as did that one.

4 Farmers Should Osgnntze.
Appleton (Swift COY Gazette, I

The wheat buyers Of the State have re-
solved that they will buy of no one who asks
to have his wheat measured with q half
5bushel. Brass kettle or nothing. The
farmers should stir up and see if they can
not prepare some way of suppressing this

is necessary, and now that the outlook is SO
favorable, and the farmers have prospect
of having something to sell, it is important
that they should make strenuous effort to
