FOURTEEN HUN DRIED DIVORCE
SUITS.

Last Sundays New York Herald pub
lished a list of nearly seven hundred
divorce cases pending in the courts of
Chicago. A few days later it prints the
names of the parties to more than seven
hundred suits on the dockets of the
Philadelphia courts. and says we also
give a similar catalogue for this city,
but its length is Insignificant compared
with that of the others.
Fourteen hundred applications for di.
vorce pending in two cities is a startling
fact, whose announcement is well calcu.
lated to arrest public attention. The
more creditable showing in the latter
city is doubtless due to the stringency OF
the laws of New York, which recognizes
but one cause for a dissolution of the
marriage tie. The laws Of Pennsylvania
and of Illinois are far more lax than ours,
and consequently the abuses which
flourish under them are much greater.
How far the marriage relation should be
held sacred and the contract indissoluble,
whether the sum total of domestic hap.
piness will be increased or diminished by
the most stringent divorce laws, is 8
question on which moralists and legisla
tors have always differed, and doubtless
always will differ, in opinion. But there
can be no question that 700 pending di
vorce suits in a single city indicate
either an extraordinary extent of mar.
ried misery or a l~ooseness of divorce reg
ulation which calls for correction.

rHE PACIFIC RAILROADS.

Perhaps it had been better had the ma
tional Government never entered into
railroad construction or substituting; or,
if some stimulus was needed, it might
have been applied in some other manner,
and not so much Of it. Deeply involved
as it now is, and in spite of its liberality
in money, credit, lands and valuable
concessions, it has had to fight the com.
panies almost from the beginning, and
one of the most perplexing questions now
before Congress is that Of protecting the
rights of the government in the matter.
The report Of the United States Com
missioner of Railroads shows that, in
June last, the four subsidized roads
owed the government $l02, 1874, 794, to
secure which was a wholly inadequate
fund of about twelve million dollars.
These roads have been very skillful in
evading the restrictions and charges
laid upon them, and they are still en-
gagged in this work of cheating the gov.
eminent. Meanwhile these heavily
capitalized roads are meeting the com.
petition Of more ~favorably situated lines
and are unable to maintain the fight. 1t
is essential that before the crash comes
the interests Of the government should
be fully protected. The Commissioner
is not very hopeful that such protection
can be secured. The matter ought to be
settled.

.sBLAINE,s

We do not believe in insulting fallen
greatness, in kicking a dead lion, or in
striking a man when he is down. Fur
Their, we deprecated the mud.slinging
and fi~lth-daubing, which characterized
the last Presidential campaign, and con-
sequently were in hopes that Mr.. Biaine's
libel suit against the Indianapolis Sen.
tineI would be pushed to the utmost, and
if the proprietors of that sheet were
found guilty, they would be punished to
the extremity of the law. But his in.
glorious backing down, disguise it, OF
attempt to disguise it as he may, is
shameful, or else there was too much
truth in the alleged libel. We cannot
express our feelings better than by the
following extract, with the above title,
clipped from the San Francisco Daily
Report:
James G.. Blaine has "taken water
in his libel suit against the Indianapolis
Sentinel.
Disguise his breakdown as he may, by
pretending that partisan rancor would
prevent his getting a fair trial in Indiana,
it is a plain Breakdown, and nothing
else, and we are very glad, under the
circumstances, that Blaine was not
elected President. This is another proof
that in his campaign he was simply act
ing a part.
We do not believe that partisan rancor
would refuse Blaine a fair trial in a mat
ter affecting the honor Of his wife and
children. We do not believe any Demo-
crat in Indiana, respectable or response
BILE enough to find q place on a jury in
such a case. would let political feeling
sway him for one moment in deciding
upon a matter involving the good name
of a woman and the honor of a whole
family. We consider that Blaine ISLANDERS
his fellow-countrymen in saying that it
would.
The Report believed in Blaine and
supported him as well as it could during
the campaign, and therefore it the more
regrets his mean withdrawal of this libel
suit, that he commenced with such fierce
flourish.
He does withdraw meanly, because he
withdraws aspersing and slandering-
doing anything but fighting. He ought
to have fought the libel suit through to
the last. with every cent in his pocket,
every day in his life, and every drop Of
blood in his body; and he would have so
fought it had he been a true Knight and
the man that his friends, the Report
among them, have been all along telling
the people he was.
Blaine's Washington letter is a hun
dred times worse than his Augusta
speech. and finishes him personally as
that did politically.

An Ugly Wound.

George Blaine, who was shot on
the 23d of July last by Mccain, at
Pleasant valley, in the 1ewksbury-
Stinson imbrogllo, came to Globe
this week to consult physician in
regard to his wound, which has not
yet healed. The ball from McCann's
weapon struck Blaine near the left
corner of the mouth and shivered
the jaw bone. The missile was a
cemented bullet of three pieces and
made Il very ugly wound. One piece
came out under the neck. Being so
far from settlement the wounded
man has not had medical attendance,
and by neglect his injury has be-
come very much aggravated. Seve-
raj fragments of bone have been eX-
tracted and there are other pieces
which must be removed Il is
thought that the jaw bone is broken.

THE recent reduction in rates on
-four from California by the South
ern Pacific people, is almost death
blow to the Salt river valley. Flour
from Los Angeles and the southern
half of California can he put down
in Wilcox and the southern portion
of the Territory at less rate than it
can possibly be laid down from this
valley. As the matter DOW stands
1t puts wheat down fiat to about 70
cents per hundred, at which price
no man can raise it either here or
elsewhere. This looks like most
unjust discrimination against this
whole section of country, and in
favor of California in general and
Los Angeles in particular, But we
Judge that while it is meant that
california snail receive Inc O6uSHb
of the cut, the wheat and flour pro,
ducing regions of Arizona were not
taken into consideration at all, but
rather that 1t is intended 10 keep
eastern or Mississippi valley -four

cut off that much freight from the

road, but as it happens our valley
