Mr.. Watterson, of course, does not
expect anybody to believe that he
would write half-column letter
about Ex-Gov. Tilden's improved
health merely to say in few lines at
the end that Tilden cannot be in
duced to accept the presidency. 1t is
possible that Mr.. Tilden may not be
the next Democratic candidate for
president, but Mr. Watterson's letter
will add greatly to the suspicion that
he would like to be. Mr.. Til len is a
man of peculiar methods, but he is
man who if he had actually with
drawn himself from thought of pub
lie life, would be little likely to main
tain such studied silence upon ali
questions of public concern. Mr..
Watterson finds him in good health,
but the editor was not authorized 20
give the public a single expression Of
opinion from Mr.. Tilden on live ques-
lions. The situation and the facts do
not harmonic with the repeated
statements of Mr.. Tilden's intimates
that he will not be a candidate. 1t
really begins to appear that he will
enter the race and that instructions
have been given not to brighten the
field prematurely.

An important decision affecting the
liability Of ministers aud justices u tie
peace who marry minors has been re-
Gently made by Judge Rowe, of the
Franklin county court. A miss OF l6 in
attendance at the Shippensburg Normal
school, had been united in marriage 10 a
lad of IS, and the parent OF the damsel
brought an action for damages against
the party who performed the ceremony.
The suit was founded on the act Of Feb.
ruary IA, l729, which provides in its first
section for the publication of bans when
one Of the parties te be married lives 10
the town or comfy where the publica-
tion is TO be made, and in addition re
quires that the person making publica q.
tion shall have received certificate Of
the consent o: the parents, If either Of
the parties are under the age of twenty
one. The second section imposes a
penalty of fifty pounds upon any justice
OF the peace or minister who shall take
upon him to join any persons in marriage
without publication of bans being made
as directed in the first section. Curl
ously enough the act of 1871 which took
away the penalty attached to the viola
tion of the first section Of the act Of
1879, left the second section of that act
forbidding marriages without publica-
tion OF bans, IN full force and yigor
Under Judge Rowe's ruling the act of
1871 only applies where there has been
publication OF bans, the second section
OF the act of 1929 being still in force in
all cases OF non publication. The fury
IN this suit in question brought in a
verdict for the full amount of the penalty
and the defendant has appealed the case
TO the supreme court, where it is now
pending. IL Judge Rowe's view of the
law Is affirmed by the court of last resort
1t will have the effect Of making apy
minister or justice of the peace who
marries minors without the publication
OF bans and the parental consent (which
latter he must know at his own risk,
amenable to the penalty given in the
actor 1923. Good results might flow
from the enforcement of a law of this
KIND, as 1t would tend to make those
VINO othclate at marriages more cir
cumspect, while at the same time pro
tecting youth from the unhapplness tina,
80 often accompanies these matrimonial
escapades.

Political Geography.

hVhtotut
The adventitious circumstances under
which political convention Is held have
leso influence In shaping its policy and
determining It's candidates than they
formerly had. Travel Is easy and cheap;
ample hotel accommodations and suffl-
cient halls can be secured, and there
would be no lack Of popular attendance
wherever the place Of meeting for q
national convention might be fixed.
Nevertheless the sharp competition for
such gathering usually draws the lines
between contending interests, and its
determination has some significance In
estimating their relative strength and
the likelihood Of final combinations
among them. In this view the selection
Of Chicago as the place for the next Re.
publican national convention indicates
that the Geld is stronger than Arthur and
that while Blaine will not show his hand
openly against him his friends are glad
TO consolidate all the anti administra-
tion forces to defeat its wishes and an.
taponize It's candidate. II any one as
pirant comes out Of this preliminary
contes, with personal prestige it is Lo-
gan. Stick a pin there.
Under ordinary circumstances the Sc.
lection of either Chicago, Cincinnati, or
st. Louis, would admit of easy explana-
ton. They are nearer the centre Of
population-gradually shifting south
westward--than the other cities of the
country with like population and &C
oommodations, and il is not difficult to
understand why the South and West
should prefer them. 1t seems, for like
reasons, altogether probable that the
Democratic committee will now take st.
Louis for the meeting Of its party's con-
vention.
The present disposition manifested by
all parties to make concessions to the
West and South indicates lively appre
citation of the uncertainty which they
are to play in the future OF our politics
Throughout the proceedings of the Re
publican national committee yesterday
It is to be noticed that an extreme feel
ing of caution was the prevailing tone
