MAR8IAGEABLE GIRLS BE
WARE.
How Killed Recommendation OF
the American Hog Treat
TheirAmerIcan Wives.

A Washington special says Joseph
+. Potter, our Consul at Creield, Ger
many, has been making investigations
10 regard 10 matter OF great interest
to our fair countrywomen, and the re-
suit OF his labors is to be found in a
report full Of information of the most
vital Importance. He has been inN
quiring into the results of marriages
between American girls and German
mobiles, and what he tells us is most
startling.
10 thirty-three marriages cited
there has not only not been a single
happy union, but either a divorce or
abandonment has speedily followed
the wedding. He finds the reason for
this unhappy state Of affairs to be that
the American wives have in every in
stance been brutally treated, and in
some cases absolute violence has been
used. The brides were expected to
perform the most mental offices. In
one instance, the husband, who
is an officer Of rank in the German
army, demanded that his wife
perform the service usually expected
from a servant Of the humblest sort,
and one Of the things she was ordered
to do was to superintend the cleaning
Of bis boots. This lady was the dauqh
tet bfa leading railroad ma gnate In a
Western State, and the story she tells
is most pitiable one.
Her hard.headed father took the
precaution at her marriage to settle
his daughters fortune upon her, and
tied it up in such way that she could
not relinquish its control even il she
desired to do so. After many humili.
ating tasks had been given this lady.
the boot cleaning was required. Then
she rebelled. She drew TIE line there,
and with her American blood at the
boiling point she fatty refused. Her
warrior husband, who, besides his
military rank, has the title Of Count,
attempted 10 enforce discipline in his
family by using his riding whip upon
his recalcitrant bride, and after a seri.
Gus time OF it she evSded the HopginR
and left the bed and board of Tho
kuightly Uhlan for her native land,
Her husband could not prevent her
departure, but tried to compel the
payment Of certain sum Of money
by way Of salve to the wounds bis
sensibilities received by Der abrupt
departure. He did not succeed. for
the lady had no property in the Pro,
vince that could be held, 50 she got
away without further loss Of time.

Mr.. RANDALL is not losing any
strength in the race for Speaker. 1t
iss significant fact that the leading
papers in Georgia, which is conceded
to be the most progressive State in the
South, have come out lately for Mr..
Randall. He is a man Of great cool
ness and sagaoity, 10 fearlessly honest,
and has q great deal of reserve
strength. Mr.. Henry Watterson has
helped him by making a free trade
speech at Cooper's Institute in New
York. The country is not demanding
absolute free trade nor free trade
platforms. The Democratic party
as we have pointed out time and again,
is to-day more and more toward
reasonable standard OF protection.
Especially is this so in Southern
localities where there are young manu-
manufacturing establishments. An
unnecessary war has been made upon
Mr.. Randall, and it has helped rather
than injured him. There are Demo.
Gratis who insist that the House Of
Representatives should make a plat
form for the next National Democratic
Convention. They propose to open the
tariff question and discuss it, knowing
full well that one House cannot make a
law or inaugurate tariff reform. Men Of
both parties admit that the tariff
should be modified, but this is tire
mendous question, affecting all the
interests, all the capital and
the people of the country. | 1t
must be handled with great care and
elaboration, and no sudden or violent
changes should be made, lest some in.
terests b, seriously injured without
beneftting others sought to be re-
lieved. Mr. Randall, as we under
stand it, knowing that the House is
helpless in this matter, proposes to let
the tariff question rest until thoro is a
Democratic majority in both Houses.
This is strong positson, and it is no
wonder that conservative men inter-
ested IN business rather than in poli~
tics and mere Office holding, should
be disposed to regard his claims with
favor.
