WIVES, PROPERTY.

A cause Of much cruel injustice has at last
been done away with in England. Both
Houses of Parliament have passed the Married
Women's Property bill, and the.wivcs of poor
men will now exercise the rights In property
which have for many years been secured by
settlements and trustees to the women of the
higher classes. Conservative England has
long hesitated in this work of justice and mas
seen other European nations and the United
States precede her In establishing reasonable
laws on this subject. Henceforth within her
borders the English woman of whatever rank
can say, not Mine is thine" but Mines
mine" Her own earnings, her own inheri-
tances belong to her absolutely, and can not be
touched by her husband. With her new priv
ilege she naturally acquires new responsible
tiles she is liable for her own debts, must
support her children If her husband cannot
do So and must support him if there is danger
of his becoming a charge upon the rates.
English women of the, higher classes have
not of late years suffered greatly from that
absurd rule OF the ancient common law which
made the husband the absolute owner of the
wife and her property. The practice of settle
ment, as we have said, rcmcdied that injustice.
Sometimes, however, carelessness in the
wording of wills has diverted property
from wife to husband and resulting cases are
reported In which the husband has left money
brought by one wife to the children Of another,
leaving the children of the first penniless. But
1t was upon the working woman that.the bur
den of cruelty fell. The drunken wretch
whose life was brutality and idleness has been
the unqucstioned possessor of his honest wiie's
hard earnings. She has had nothing in the
world which she could legally call her own

1t Is strange to cote that this concession OF tho
simplest justice was not made without long
struggle and violent opposition. Even at the last
stage of the bill in the House of Commons one
member soemnly quoted Scripture against
its passage--it was not we may be sure the
Golden Rule which he remembered. An
other, Sir G. Campbell, protested against the
hurrying through of bill that would eitect
complete social revolutions and complained
that its main object was to give woman
all mans privileges without any OF Ills
liabilities Outside these objections the SEN
timent of the House was in favor of the bill,
and it is to the honor of the members that 1t
was passed through committee with loud

and In Scotland, of family seats In the reign Of
George III. many of these we're in most dllapi-
dated condition. The measures taken by the
earlier Stuarts to drive away the gentry from Lon
don were Of radically vigorous character that
they could not fail to have the desired effect but in
the time of Charles H. much more en lent rule pre-
vailed, and the younger and gayer portion of the
arlstocracy hocked to town. and the habit continued
to grow IN force for a long period. In fact, from
the time of Charles H. until the close of the reign
of George Ill, although the gentry lived in the
shres the nobility passed most of their time in Lon
don or at Bath and Ilarrogate, and spent LITTLE of
their means on their country seats, while many Of
the prelates-nOtably tho Irsh-abscntcd them
selves for years from their diOceses; indeed Arch
bishop Dlaok5rrne Of York. scarcely ever passed Il
month in the year within his province. All over

twelfth century upward In state o. mora or less

discipline has led to the disarmament OF the
bulk of the Dublin force, and exposed the CITY
TO the ndignity Of martial law rs the sole al
Tentative of mob violence. If the revolt ex-
tends to other centres OF population the dis
solution of tho Irish Constabulary will be the
inevitable result of the collapse of discipline.
An efficient body of police, with just griev-
ance and valid claim for extra pay, Is thrown
out of employment under the most discredit-
able circumstances strong case is literally
flung away; for no argument is required to
prove that Government cannot employ az
agents for the repression of crime halt-mlli-
tary body which will not obey orders nor sub
NIT to discipline.
The course of the Government has been
highly reprchensible in all the earlier stages
of this unfortunate controversy. The loyalty
Of the Constabuary force required prompt
recognition, and the necessity of redressing its
grievances without unnecessary delay was APP
parent. AS the Government was making
desperate effort to suppress outragcs and to
punish desperadoes, and in this way to restore
the supremacy of the law, no pains should
have been spared to secure the cooperation oil
the police. The Castles dealings with the men
have disclosed lamcntable lack of tact and
forethOught At the same time it is obvious
that a discontinued people cannot be kept under
control by disorganized and insubordinate
body of police. If discipline cannot be main
tanned, the Dublin force has not been disbanded
q day too soon. The emergency is very grave
one, but if the Government acts with firmness
and sagacity and the local authorities retain
their self possession, there will be no catas-
trophe such as great riot in Dublin, Limerick
or Cork, and the police force will he rapidly
reorganzed on permanent basis.

General Wolseley naturally dlsappoints the
expectations of some of the military critics,
who are comfortably lodged in their arm-chairs
at home, Concerning the delay in the transport
on which stress laid in our special cable dis
patches it may be remarked that this is always
the weak point with every army or expedi-
ton outside Germany, where practical de-
tails are invariably mastered. Armies always
get ahead of their supplies, and they would
have very little mobility if they were not to do
so. In the present instance delay was unavOid-
able, as the advance was made so soon after
the change of base. Notwithstanding the
recent halts, the Egyptian expedition seems
to be far better managed III respect to the
transport than either the Abyssinian or the
Ashantee campaigns. Another point scored
against General Wolseey Is the neglect of
his cavalry to capture the guns after repuls-
ing the night attack. The point seems to be
overlooked that Arabi's force appeared in much
better form than on any previous occasion
and withdrew in good order

There will be a revival of religion in many of

be regretted that the rules forbid the exam
iners to tell in what this rejected applicant
for admission has failed. There ought not
to be any doubt that he was treated with per-

Colonel Taylor comes out of the unpleasant

reprimand which was the sentence of the court
martial is pretty fully Offset by the compliment
airy order of General Hunt, commanding the
Department of the South, In which the disci
plined officer Is thanked for the satisfactory
manner I'm which he has performed his duty, and
regret is expressed at the necessity of separa-
ton. General Hunt undoubtedly knows what
he has the right to do and say; but 1t may be
fairly open to question whether he has shown
delicate and proper respect to the finding of the
court-martal or to those higher in authority
than himself. If Colonel TaylOr's conduct in
trying to help himself in pleasant place by po-
litical influence was censurable, he ought to
have zen allowed to feel the full force of the
reprimand. General Hunts action looks too
much like letting n favorite subordinate
down easily.

Kaine OF Utah.

WASHINGTON, December 27.-The majority
OF the House committee on elections have
agreed among themselves that Kaine, the
delegate from Utah, should be admitted,
Notwithstanding the fact that he does not
have the certificate from the Governor that
he has been elected, They hold that the
case is analogous to that lof Mclean, who
was admitted recently without certi ficate
from the Governor Of the State. Ithas been
charged before the committee that Mr..
Kaine received the solid Mormon vote.
This may, if the merits of the case are
opened up to debate in the House, prevent
his admission. A report IS now being pre-
pared on the case by the elections commit
tee. There is no doubt but that Mr.. Kaine
received the majority of the votes cast. 1t
happened, however, that he is elected to
the next Congress, and not to fill the va
cancy caused by the ousting of Apostle
Cannon during the last session. Through

that now governs Utah Territory there was
no arrangement to fill vacancy to serve
out the unexpired term of Mr.. Cannon.
