Let us supply the words understood, and see
how it sounds: "Ill vote TO (g1ve the people

THE CHR1sr1ANCY CASE.
The Testimony of the Ex-Senator-His
Wife's Ability to Love Three 8len ADont
the Same Time.

WAsHINGToN. May 25.-In the Christiancy
divorce suit. the testimony of ex-senator
Christiancy is being taken. Ia connection
with 1t several important letters have been
put in evidence. among them long letter
written by Christiancy on the 18Th of Au-
gust, 1873, TO his wife's father. John W.
Lugenbeel, with regard TO Mrs. Chrisriancy's
alleged bad conduct. 1t begins with refer
ence to correspondence between the
writer and Mrs. Lugehbeel before
their marriage, correspondence in
which ChrIsuancy saws he endeavored
carefully and scrupulously Ia convince her
she ought not TO marry him, and in which
he insisted many times she should recon
slider the matter. He admitted he loved
her, and said il after full and mature con-
sideration, she still wished to marry him. he
would consent. She declared she stin wished
him to make her his wife, and as q gentle
man he had only one course to take. The
marriage took place, and il the love which
she professed for him had really existed
nothing. he says, could have made him hap
pier. On the morning of the wedding
however, she heard OF the re-
turn of James Lugenbeel and tainted.
When they reached Philadelphia and
were alone, she told him she had been en-
gagged to L1genbeel, that the engagement
had been broken off and did not know how
deeply she loved him until his name was
mentioned. She said she had periured her
self in her marriage VOWS, was miserable
and wanted a divorce forthwith. When
they returned to this city all went well IN
I'll she met Lugenbeel in an art gallery, and
from that time she seemed detected and
desperate, and again asked for a divorce
Soon after this Frank Anderson became at
tentive to her, and her affections
seemed to attach themselves alternately to
him and to Lugenbeel. and again came
the frenzy for divorce. Finally she Quoted
down and appeared to think more of her
husband. After she returned home in Au-
gust, 1876 her love for Anderson broke out
afresh, and her hatred for her husband in
creased. She also had a fondness for Sam
Register, of Baltimore, and for one Mayer.
She often declared she wished her husband
dead, and said he was all that stood be-
tween her and happiness. Cristiancy then
refers to the fact that his wife went to Heal
ing Springs in preference to going
to Saratoga or Kansas with
HIM, and says he felt suspicious
she had gone TO the springs with some old
lover When she wrote TO him she tainted
him with being old, did not pretend to love
him, said she would not live with him; that
she would spend all the money she pleased:
that she would run him in debt. ard that she
wanted divorce. The husband replied he
would not quarrel with her, nor would he
be ruined in the way she proposed.

It must not be forgotten that this salt in

people.

Wealth in the Senate.

The present Senate contains at least score
of Senators not one of whom is worth less
than 5000 600. The richest man is, OF course
Fair, OF Nevada, who probably possesses as
much as all the other Senators together.
Next to him is David Davis, OF Illinois, a
widower, who is reputed to be the possessor
of millions. 1t is somewhat difficult
to name the Senator whose fortune ranks
third in size, but if Eugene Hale, of Maine,
has received the mantle of his IA
Their in-law, Zach Chandler, with its we'll
lined pockets, his fortune is nearly as large
as that of David Davis. The wife OF Senator
Hale is the only daughter of the late Sena-
tor Zach Chandler. Other very wealthy
Senators are Miller, of California; Malone,
of Virgins, and Sawyer, of Wisconsin,
known To he worth more than a million
each. Sewell, of New Jersey, is railroad
man, and is very wealthy. Senator John
Sherman. of Ohio, il is said is
worth more than two millions, his
property consisting largely of real estate
in Washington. Among other Senator'S who
write their fortunes with seven figures are
Cameron of Pennsylvania, Camden and
Davis of West Virginia, Brown of Georgia,
and Plumb of Kansas. Senators Hill Of Col
Orado, German of Maryland, Mcpherson of
New Jersey, and Pendleton of Ohio are all
worth more than 100000 Many other
Senators are comfortably fixed possessing
little boards Of from $4,000 to SOC, 000.

Thus no other way is left for any
party old or new, involving any large part of the
people, TO cooperate together honestly this year,
but to exact pledge from candidates that will
vote these questions over tO the people to be set
tied b. p vote without regard TO party wherein
the ASsemblymen as well as Others, can all vote

does not matter much with voters whether candi-
dates are really In favor OF the voters notions on
these pending questions as the people at the polls
will have them TO decide byyo;e:-Porter County
Vidette.
The above is a specimen of the sort of
'bosh" that is TO be found in nearly every
Republican paper in the State regarding the
prohibitory amendment The Vidette talks
about the Legislature 'voting the question
over to the people," Is it possible that it
does not know that the next Legislature has
no power to do anything of the kind? The
State Constitution has settled it, and if the
Legislature passes favorably upon the pro-
that the amendment must be submit
ted. If that body votes against the
amendment then it is dead, and the Legis-
lature has no power ''to vote the question
over to the people" Therefore the necessity
of fall and free discussion that members Of
the Legislature may know exactly what to
do. The Democracy are inviting and insist
ing upon brave, manly and courageous
discussion. and the Republican papers and
party seem to be skulking behind paper
screen yelling, "Oh, don't let's talk about
the darned thing; let's submit it to the
people" Was there ever such disgraceful
lodging of an issue and grave responsibility!
