Death Of \ Distipguished Journalist.

A telegraphic dispatch In our issue Of
Thursday contained brief announce
ment of the sudden death of Mr.. John
Taylor Crow, for many years managing
editor of the Baltimore Sun. Mr.. Crow
was a genuine journalist. and reflected
honor upon the profession to which his
life Of untiring labor was devoted. The
Sun in an editorial tribute to his memo.
ry says:
"In the loss which this journal has sus-
tanned By his death that large public which
is daily reached and addressed by the San
are shareTs. Since 1S48 he had been con-
nected with the news and editorial depart
nents OF this paper, and for sixteen years had
been It's managing editor. To the thorough
training and large experience thus acquired
Mr.. Crow added an unusual natural aptf-
tude and especial qualifications for the
profession OF journalism. He possessed
judgment, both Of men and sffairs,
which was singularly accurate and sound,
and which, In the final decision as to what
was best to be said and what had better
be left unssid, what ought to go into
print and what should not, could safely
be relied upon, and was but seldom at
fault. He had, moreover, natural insight
and instructive appreciation in regard to cur
rents and modes OK popular opinion and feel
ing which was invaluable In his position, and
In enabling him to estimate and forecast the
probable course and direction of events.
To these mental characteristics he added
moral qualities of a very high order, and
which served to win for him, as they justly
entitled him to, the respect and esteem OF
all who came In contact with him. His
personal integrity was never questioned, and
he combined, with strong sense of justice
and right, an habitual love OF the truth
for its own sake. All his standards
and aims In journalism were high. He
was firm believer in principles, and logical
and consistent In his opinions. To this
paper, with which he had been connected
for so many years of his life, from early
manhood, and to the public, which he
knew looked to the Sun not only for accu-
rate information but sound opinions, he
cherished sentiment of the most fervent
and answering loyalty. Jealous and faith
full himself in the performance of his du-
ties, he naturally desired and expected the
same zeal and fidelity on the part OF others
engaged in the same service"
The deceased was universally esteemed
and respected by the fraternity, and at a
special meeting of the Baltimore Press
Association, held on Thursday evening.
a series of appropriate resolutions were
passed and addresses delivered in COM
memoration of his exemplary life and
character as a man and journalist.

A STARTLING DEATH.-In Cincinnati,
Tuesday night, a sudden and startling
death occurred in the midst of ball at
Washington Platform. A waltz was
being played and the dancers were en-
joying themselves and thinking only of
pleasure, when suddenly one of the
merriest Of the company was seen to
fall headlong to the floor. The men in
the party approached the PROSTATE body,
fast growing cold in death, and picking
it up placed their late companion upon
a number of chairs arranged for the pur-
pose. The deceased was John G. Moore,
a cavalry sergeant, engaged in the cav
airy recruiting service. At the time of
his fatal fall Moore was dancing with a
young lady.

The Communists are so far encouraged
by the success of the Nihilists that one
of them. Victor Drury, at meeting in
New York, proposed to put in writing
certain modest demands upon the French
Government, as follows; o. The pardon
of the Communist Nourrit, who shot
General Greard; ~ life pension fol
him; ~ the removal of the first Napo
Icons ashes from the Invalides; AZ the
fitting up Of the dome of that building
as dwelling place for Nourrit. Drury
was kind enough to order these demands
to be translated into several languages
for the benefit of Kings and Prime
Ministers and American Ambassadors
at the European Courts" Perhaps there
is ground for the insinuation that our
representatives cannot read French.

An election case now pending in the
Massachusetts House of Representatives
raises the question whether the provision
Of the State constitution requiring a
voter to be able to read the constitution
and write his name shall be enforced.
Seven persons who cannot write their
names voted for the sitting member. As
he holds his seat by plurality of only
three votes, and as it is conceded that
the unlawful votes cast for him should
not have been counted, it is clear that
the contestant was elected by plurality
larger than that returned for the sitting
member. If the reading and writing
qualification is to be made effectual the
contestant is entitled to the seat.

Secretary of the Navy Goff while prisoner
in Libby prison was put into close confinement
as hostage for Major Armsey, of the Con-
federate army, who had bean taken inside the
Union lines and sentenced to be shot as a spy.
Upon the execution of Armsey Goff was to be
instantly shot. His sufferings were extreme.
and lie was compelled to live on rats skinned
and cooked by the negroes and snuggled to
him. he not only bore this for eighty-seven
days, but wrote letter, now on file in the

ought not to stand in the way in determining
Armsey's fate. "The life of a single soldier,nn
he wrote, fought not to stand in the way of ad-

PHILADELPHIA Press: In his speech ac-
cepting denomination to Congress last
Summer, Speaker Randall informed his CON
stituents that the Eaton Tariff Commission
Bill, "passed by a Democratic Senate,is now
first in order on the Speakers table, and will
surely be acted upon in December next"
This was to dsabuse their minds of any fear
that the Cincinnati declaration for ga tariff
for revenue only might mean something.
December has come and gone, and now
February is close at hand, but the Eaton
bill still sleeps undisturbed on the Speak
er's table, first in order, but never reached.
Less than year ago the leading manufac-
turers of iron and steel from twenty-five
States of the Union united in petition to
Congress to pass this bill. 1t was charged
against them that procrastnation and delay
were their real objects. In disproof of this
the petition is now renewed by the chief ex-
ecutive officers of twenty-one associations,
representing as many industries. They
state that they consider revision of the
tariff desirable for the interests both of the
inuAooi ioo aAoSoou anu IuoSc VI consumers,
partly on account of some original imper-
fections in the present tariff aud partly on
account of the notifications which are de-
manded by the changes which have occurred
in the conditions of productions and COM
merce. While it is certainly desirable to
have the Commission begin its work as early
as possible, we fear there is little ground
for anticipating any favorable action by the
present House in the brief term of its ses-
sion yet remaining.

BOSTON Herald: 1t is difficult to see
what the Democrats expect to gain by
forcing an issue on the electoral count
resolution at this time. They have nothing
to hope for in the approaching count, and
the chances of any partisan rule which they
could adopt now, benefitting them four
years hence, are too remote to warrant them
in wasting the time and running the risk of
making necessary an extra session. 1t looks
like repetition of the old open-ey ed blum
dering that has brought the party to grief
every time it has had show to succeed for
the past dozen years.

Our Divorce Laws.


| The agitation for amendment of the di-
vorce laws in Maine is growing apace. Press
and pulpit are both urging change, though
from the bar we have heard nothing as vet.
The intention seems to be to carry the Leg
islature by storm. We trust that body will
hasten slowly in whatever it does, will care
fully investigate the evils complained of and
calmly consider to what extent our laws re-
lating to marriage are responsible for them
In France, where divorce is almost i'm
possible, exists bad state of affairs so far
as the marriage obligation is concerned. In
this country, where, in most States of the
Union, divorce is easy, similar though not
so extreme disregard obtains Able and
sincere men in France argue that the sad
condition there is owing to the laws which
work against divorce, while able and sincere
men here argue that our sad condition is due
to the laws that facilitate divorce. We believe
both are in the wronS. We doubt if divorce
laws have much, if anything, to do with the
matter. The difficulty is one that the stat
utes cannot reach Open infidelity to the

laws are stringent enough. The refusal of
divorce to the woman or the man who has
been the victim of infdelity, or other great
wrong, will not help the case. 1t will only
encourage the offender. No good can come
by holding in relation of mutual depend
ence two persons who are Indifferent to each
other. Marital fidelity will not be promoted
by preserving tie that the tied detest.
Doubtless some wrongis worked by our lib
eral divorce laws. Some wrong is worked by
nearly all statutes, but in general their exc
cution is equitable. 1t is question whether
the wrong complained of can be done away
with by more stringent divorce law. The
question ought to be considered carefully
before an answer is offered. We want no
hasty legislation on the subject. The Leg
islature should not permit itself either by
cajolery or specious argument to pass laws
that it does not sincerely approve.
