too grateful, had not inserted clause in their bill by which all debates in divorce suits shall be held with closed doors. Something will leak out, of course, but not authorita- lively, and good many regulations will be cracked; yet no judicial findings can be quoted as proof, and the correctional courts will remain competent to punish for calumny the so-colled 'fslanderers, to which class are to be assimilated all who may venture to crit icise the social status of & man or woman who has figured either as plaintive or defend ant in divorce suit. The one who gets divorce will be in no better position than the one against whom 1t is pronounced; nobody outside of the parties concerned can ever know the true state of the case, who Is wrong, who right what might have been the provocation, what are the extenuating cir cumstances. Nor has the law stipulated where divorce suits are to be tried, and, al though this juridical uncertainty may seem a question comparatively indifferent to apph- cants in it will be found fruitful germs of delay and, as the lawyers exultingly remark, excellent reasons ''why their fees should fat ten" Certainly the legislators at the Lux embonrg have so hedged around this 'Fpath to freedom" with difficulties that very few will reach the longed- for goal, and yet, if few be chosen, many will get themselves called and try it, and furnish much food for scan dal and inexhaustible subjects for several flu ture generations of vaudevillists. There are some funny passages in this new law-the funniest to be discovered in all French legis- lation-of which much will be made by play
 wrights. The divorce becomes obligatory,
 for instance, on ''all persons sentenced to
 death" as if the guillotine was not sufficient
 to sever undesirable connections As to the
 articles concerning incompatibility of humor
 and outrages, can say, regretting that can not partlcularize, that they are gems in their
 way, while the clause by which F'habitual in science to mothers-in-law'' is an admissible plea for divorce provokes a lively polemic as to how many times, at any one meal, a man may call his mother-in-law an Told fagot' without said epithet coming under the desig- nation of ''habitual."

 The healer who was to inspire Frances stricken frame with new energy, who was to nurse her with patient hand during long hours of eonyaleseent fretfulness, before she could come forth again and take her part in the affairs of the family of nations, was Louis Thiers. By curiously rapid process of elimination, the National Assembly of Versailles and its chief of the Executive had become the only power in France The em- pire had failed, the Commune had failed; there remained an amorphous Republic. To the Assembly M. Jules Favre submitted the treaty of peace, and obtained it's ratification.

A SIGNIFICANT "KICK. .,,


 The religious papers which declared so speedily and vigorously against Blaine now find themselves in tight spot. They cannot accept the theory that it makes no difference what the private character of nominee for the presidency of this great na- tion is, and they have become convinced that Cleveland is not what he was said to be and what they thought he was. The New York Independent calls for Cleveland's retirement from the ticket It says: The attempt now to force such candidate upon the people would, in our opinion, disgrace the party which nominated him, and the whole nation, if he should be elected. We will have no hand or voice in helping on this matter, and we will not advise the readers of the Inde- pendent to smother their consciences and dis grace themselves by engaging directly or in- directly in any such movement. We are now in a serious difficulty as nation, in re- gard to the unchecked progress of Mormon ism; and shall we now, in the face of threat ening evils and perils, plunge into deeper gulf by any seeming indifference to the private character of one who has been nomi- mated to. fill the highest office in the gift of the people? We say no! 8 thousand times No! Governor Cleveland should positively decline to be candidate, and withdraw i'm mediately from the canvass, and be com pelIed to do so if it is necessary
 The Congregationalist is not quite as out spoken as the Independent, but it has evi- dently got enough of the Reform ticket. It says: We should be more than glad if we to1 Ao&.o but we are constantly receiving new evidence on the matter, and the better opportunities our informants seem to have had of knowing the actual facts, the more emphatic is their testimony against Governor Cleveland. The best that can be said for him is only that some good and true men believe in the up rightness of his present life. We wish that the facts might prove such as to enable all men to accept their view, but we greatly fear will not
 The Evangelist is, if anything, little milder than the Congregationalist and thus expresses itself: We do not wish to accuse any man wrongfully, or even to suspect him wrongful1y, and yet we are haunted by ter rible fear We are left in state of uncer- tainty, in which the heart sinks with name less dread It is for the Christian people of this country to look at these things without passion and violence, but with open eyes; and, without being swayed bX party feeling, but acting ''soberly, discreetly, and in the fear of God, Ito say whether man of whom they have such fears and forebodings is the sort of man whom they wish to see elected President of the United States.
 These are very significant utteraness and they will have powerful influence, for there can be no suspicion that they are not honest and conscientious. The religious press is queer spectacle just now, but it has the con solation of knowing that it is better to do right than to help make man President who is not fit for the office.

The Hartford Telegram is the only Demo cratic paper in the State which throws mud at the Hon. Henry B. Harrison. It is poor business for the Telegram and will not pay.
 Crime in this city received decided check yesterday in the arrest of several hardened newsboys who piled their nefarious calling in such way as to incur the disapproval of the police.
 Governor Waller does not seem to be anx- ious to test his popularity by running against the Republican nominee for governor, but we do not see how the Democrats can do without him.
 The Hon. John T. Wait of Norwich, who has served the Third district of this State for many years in Congress will, probably be renominated and reelected this year. He has made very efficient representative.
 The nomination of the Hon. Henry B. Harrison is heartily approved by Republican newspapers all over the country. It is looked upon as adding much to the probabil- ity of Republican success in this State in November.
