THE TRAPEZE,

These trapeze performances should be
prohibited They nearly all result with
fatal injuries to the performer-physically,
politically, etc. We have no sympathy
with man who attempts to honve himself
out of shape, and suddenly launches HIM
self into the air, and, perhaps, eternity.
We cannot condole with man who, for
personal ends, ambition, or disappointment,
betrays the principles of the political party
with which he has been Unidentified life
time and finds eventually the reward of oil
traitors-being despised or forgotten.
We have had in this country numerous
examples of political trapeze. oflate years n
TRUMBULL, CURTIN, DANA, q HENDER-
son or o MCCLURE has shot ON the political
trapeze across the troubled sky, and been
disappointed in their calculations With
no audiences to cheer them on in their wild
feats, yet their performances have been
truly wonderful. They have stood on their
heads-then on their heels. They have
laid on their backs-then on their stom-
achs. And yet with all this they lacked
thS BAS"V encouragement VI hlA pSiAoi hiSia
applause. None cared what they did or
when they did it. Their antics only in
jured themselves, and it is to be hoped
from these evolutions they will be granted
immunity in the future. In fact, the politi-
cal trapeze is far more injurious than the
physical; the latter breaks the bones, but
the former kills the man mot a corporeal
disease, but political wasting oft vitals
But both should be prohibited.

LEST we may fall behind in giving the

Secretary SHERMAN is positively stronger
with the country to-day than any other can
didate whose name has been mentinned in
connection with the Chicago Convention.
Comment would be superiluous, as this
declaration is accompanied by II full-page
cartoon illustrative of its pertinence, which
represents the Secretary in the ring with
brawny muscles bare, showing high con-
dition for speed and endurance, and making
time in the race which is heating his
chest record" Uncle SAM is represented
as his chief auditor and prompter, and the
cartoon looks rs if, should no other COM
petitor appear on the track, he would win.
This work of art is very clever, and is
worth half dozen Literary Bureaus to
give the painting Secretary boom. We
have no idea what such things cost the
candidate, but undoubtedly in view of its
efficiency, it is quite economical when COM
pared with the expenses Of q Bureau in

WEST POlNr p!sGRACED.

The New York lfai thus refers to Hon.
MARTIN I, TowNsEND's introduction to
the WHITAKER investigation:
The treatment Hon. MARTIN l. TOWNSEND,
tho special counsel sent to West Point from
Washington by the Government to represent
Cadet WHITAKER, received yesterday from
Recorder sears, OF the court of inquiry, was
lsgpcelul. In spite Of tho declaration that
his purpose in asking n conference was to
present a communication from tho Secretary
of War, Mr., TOWNSEND was treated with rude
ness and repeatedly insuted before the con-
ference was granted. The action Of tho re-
cOrdor indicated that he isaverse to the super.
vision which the National authorities intend
10 have over the case, and Strengthens tho
suspicious that the recorder Is hostile TO tho
colored cadet 1t is we'll that the Govern.
ment has sent such representative as Mr.
TOWNSEND to watch the proceedings, and
that the Secretary Of War and the Attorney
General are giving the trial their careful ut
tention. If injustice Is done Cadet WHIT
TAKER, the name Of West Point 10 disgraced
aud tho disposition of the case cannot b.
safely left to men who are capable of sucl
conduct as that of the recorder yesterday
The sentiment Of tho Nation is thoroughly
aroused, and the Investigation Of Cadet WHIT
TAKERS case must bo exhaustive and rgidl.

INCREASE OF DIVORCES.

The increase Of divorces in this country
is somewhat startling. 1t shows that the
coniugal tie that binds two willing hearts
as one is not quito as firm and enduring as
during the days of our forofhthers. Whether
this increase comes OF hasty and incon-
ton of the causes which justify separation
under the operations of the law, or for the
reason that married people have less
patience and forbearance toward each other,
tistcs, which have been furnished by Mr..
CARROLL d. WRIGHT one of the most able
statislicians of the country, touching upon
this question, which are full of interest.
He has perfected the statistics of divorces
in Massachusetts, from 1860 to 1878 inclu-
sive, and has laid the information before
the Legislature of that State. But Mr..
WRIGHT did not stop at that point. He
has gone to great pains in tracing up the
various legislation pertaining to divorce
from the year 1880 to the present time, and
he makes it very plain that the uniform
and unbroken tendency of the legislation
for century has been to make divorce
more and more easy of attainment.
In twenty years the State of Mossachu-
setts has had 1888 divorces granted under
forty-four assignable causes, but which Mr.
WRIGHT, for the sake Of convenience
classifes under eight distinct heads as fol,

Total.............................. Z.

The facts elected during tnlS lnNeSuga-
tion show that but 3,O16 of these divorces
have been granted for causes that were
recognized as valid fifty years ago Until
1888 desertion" was not regarded rs q
cause for divorce, and until 1857 it was not
used to any considerable extent. Indeed,
more than half the divorces granted in Mr.
WRIGHT's table have been for causes that
have found legal existence within twenty
five years Another feature that has been
brought out by this investigation is
that the marriage bond has been dissolved
in 2,400 cases on complaint of the husband,
and in 4,S33 cases at the request of the
wife. Another table is furnished which
shows a steady increase of divorces in Mas
sachusetts without any material increase in
marriages. In 1860 the number of mar
riages was 124O9 and the divorces 243-
that is, / to 81. In 1878 the marriages were
u ,s93 and the divorces COOL TO 81. This
shows u startling increase of divorces in the
Bay State. Statistics show that other New
matrimonial market. The average ratio OF
divorces in Vermont for the last ten years
is about 1 to II marriages. In Rhode
Island the proportion is less than TO IA,
while in Connecticut it is below to IL.
We present these facts to our readers for
their serious reflection, for they stand out
prominently in the showing that while
there is an increase of population the mar
riage rate has sensibly decreased, while the
divorce ratio has fully doubled. This, no
doubt, holds good all over the country.
