Hunters Returned.

James A. Taylor of Chicago, state
representative from the fifth district OF
Illinois, and State Senator Walker
from the same place returned yester.
day from a month hunting expedition
in the region south of here. They
went as far south as Grey Bull over i'll
Wyoming expecting to be joined there
by Col. Pickett but found that noted
hunter i'll and unable to go into the
field. They therefore came a little
northward to the game country, visit.
ing the head waters of Clark's Fork
and Boulder rivers and all the inter-
veningconntry. They had abundant sue
cess both in fishing and hunting and had
their sense of the grandly beautiful in
nature gratlfied beyond measure. Mr..
Taylor considers the scenery In and
about Clark's Fork canyon far more
pictureque than that of the canyon of
the Colorado in Arkansas which he
has also seen. He was charmed be-
yond measure by the style of life ex-
perienced during the trip and would
fain have enjoyed 1t longer had not
business demanded his and his com.
panions presence in Chicago. They
had intended to visit the Park but
found hunting game in the mountains
so seductive an employment that they
abandoned the other project and will
return next year to see the Park.
They went cast yesterday and in part.
ing said that they fully expected to
see Livingston twice it's present size
upon their return next summer. They
will not be disappointed.

The city of Montreal, with population of
15O, 900, has a debt of $4,000 900. In the
same ratio indianapolis would be in debt to
the amount of about 100000, and it is a
source of satisfaction that such a state of
affairs does not exist here. A debt of that
magnitude would paralyze every industry
in Marion county. 1t would empty hun
dreds of houses and thousands of our eiti-
zens would seek homes elsewhere. A debt
of that character is an incubus that will
crush the life out of any city or community.
There never is any adequate return for the
investment, and often not even dead stock
to show where the money went. Indianapo-
lis must avoid the possibility of such clog on
its prosperity, and to do this the first steps
should not be taken. No improvement of
any considerable magnitude should be UNI
dertaken until the way to pay for it is dis
covered. 1t would be fine to have a new
city hall worth from a quarter to
a half million of dollars and anything less
would not be creditable; but it is not
desirable to have a debt to drive away
capitalists and to embarrass industries
already in operation. A half million is not
much but the principle of anticipating the
city's revenue is wrong, and such debt
would be but the nucleus of still greater
one. Let other cities have their city halls
and big indebtedness Our finances should
be kept in such a condition that capitalists
will not be afraid to invest here, and those
who have invested will continue to prosper.
Such careful course is due alike to the rich
and poor-to the manufacturer that he may
succeed, and to the laborer that he may
always have something to do. What is true
of debt is also true of increased taxation.
The constitution may guard against such a
debt for indianapolis as other cities have,
but the tax levy can be increased, and there
is but one of two ways to pay for extensive
mprovements-by debt or by taxation.

the unpleasant state of things
now existing. But the nuisance is
occasioned by State institution
and the State should bear the greater part of
the expense of building the sewer to connect
with the city system. The latter the city
ana its people paid for exclusively, and when
the Reformatory sewer shall be built the city
will be put to the expense of caring
for and main tanning it. We do not
assume to say that the proposition
made by the Council last night is absolutely
the only one that should be agreed to. But
its general features seem to us to be based
upon equity, There should be an agreement
and mutually of action between the city and
State authorities for the abatement of this
nuisance, from which not only the arsenal
but the entire city is suffering

In many of our larger cities have been or
gained salvage corps, whose duty it is to run
to all fires, and take measures to save all the
goods they can. They are provided with APP
planes TO extinguish such Incl pient conla
grations as they may, and where this is i'm
possible, they arrange to secure the goods
from as much damage as they can by spread
ing tarpaulins over them, while the regular
lire department attends to the subduing of
the flames. The arrangement is good onel
and valuables worth millions have undoubt
edly been saved through this means TIL
operation of such a corps suggests the organ
cation OF life-saving corps whose duty
shall be to rescue human beings from thu
burning buildings. The department had
done noble service in this line, and many hid
roic instances are recorded where memheip
have almost recklessly exposed their own livcs
to save those of others. But while this i.
true, it is true also that all, or nearly ALT
the improvements in the service have bee;o
directed to the extinguishment of fires, ans
not looking specially to the rescue of pePr
sons in danger of perishing The ingenuity
of our people is certainly adequate to invent
some means that will largely reduce the
danger to human life from .6re,-aSo long as

and Newhall Hotel fires will recur Under such
circumstances the demand is for some contri-
vance that will afford humanity save exit
from such fre-traps. While stairways
are built of wood, and very
narrow, and elevator chutes are allowed to
act as fues through which the flames roar as
a cyclone from basement to roof, the inmates
of structures so provided with inadequate
means of escape will continue to be the
victims of direful calamities. No vigilance
should be relaxed or efficiency omitted in
the matter CT enabling departments to cope
with fire; but greater efficiency should be
had in the direction of saving valuable hui
man lives. The burning of the Southern

DIVORCE CAPRICE

1t becomes more evident year after year
that there should be some mutual under
standing between the several States in the
matter of granting divorces. The great num-
Der of severances of the marital relation, ap-
parently increasing as the years go by, calls
for special consideration. If we are power
less to eradicate the causes of domestic infe-
licity or the incompatiblity which results in
divorce, we may, at least, regulate by statute
the granting OF the enforcement. The con-
fiicting usages in the various States already
result in much confusion and it is not infre-
q0ent that the law is brought into COM
temp on account of its Impotence A case
of this nature has just been decided by the
Court of Appeals, New York city. The New
York statutes prohibit divorced defendant
from marrying again within five years. To
evade the operation of this law divorced
man named Thorp took lady,
whom he wished to marry, to Phil
adelphia, and had the ceremony performed
there In time he sought a divorce from
this wife, but the defense was set up that he
was not entitled to decree of divorce, for
the alleged reason that the Philadel pha
York and therefore void. This view was
sustained by the judge of the Superior
Court but the Court of Appeals has reversed
that decision, holding that the Philadelphia
l
OF Pennsylvania, must be accepted as valid
by the courts of New York 1t will thus be
seen that statutes may be rendered nugatory
by conflicting statutes in adjoining Stc
r. :; .... al, N,,,1.,r- .,4-, ,, dtes
crss ..oC pain that the Jaw prohibiting the
marriage of a divorced defendant should not
be repealed, but until it is, twould seem but
wise that some measure should be passed to
save it from the contempt of those who
choose to set it az defiance.
The whole question of divorce is a perplex-
ing problem in our social economy, and there
are conflicting views in regard to the matter.
But it ought to pass without question that
the different Sta es should deal with it on COM
mon ground, so that the dignity and efficacy
of the laws may be maintained and the sane
tity of the marriage relation protected 1t is
shame that such thing as long-range
Utah divorce is possible, and the hardships
that would often inevitably follow the pro
nouncing of such DEGREES invalid can scarcely
| be realized. For these and many other APP
parent reasons, the statutes regulating this
matter should be cooperative and mutually
sustaining. Until some such understanding
is arrived at, the ordinance of marriage,
which lies at the foundation of the social
fabric, is rendered capricious and uncertain.
| Probably the assumption of the entire ques
ton by the general government is the best
and only certain remedy.

SERGEANT BALLANTINE, speaking of the
Livingston-Fleming case, now attracting SO
much interest in New York and elsewhere, is
moved to say that 'juries in many cases ap-
pear to bid adieu to common sense. The
tears of a good-looking girl efface arguments
of counsel and the suggestions of reason"
This is undoubtedly the case, and it must be
admitted that woman is sometimes strongest
when she is weakest Trading on this SEEM
ing paradox, it is altogether probable that
designing women resort to tears for the
effect they will WELD upon ju-
ries as we'll as on individuals
1t is possible that Miss Livingston employed
tears and sobs for purpose, and develop
ments since the verdict was rendered seem to
indicate that she was as much sinner as
sinned against. The Journals comments on
this case, based on the evidence adduced, are
still applicable in principle, though it is
possible they may not fit the case now under
consideration. The man who deliberately
dishonors woman and perjures himself to
deceive her cannot be too severely punished.
