Maria ge and Divorce.

Mrs. Elizabeth C4dy Stanton contribu.
ties to the last number OF the North 1mer.
lean Rscieto careful and serious argument
in favor of liberal divorce That is side
which has scarcely been presented before
since the beginning of the agitation of ;he
divorce question, and yet, judging from
| the laws of most of the States, it is the
side taken by the majority of people.
Mrs. Stanton advocates divorce in the
interest of women, who are the chief suf
ferers By wretched marriages, and who
consequently make up the great majority
of the applicants for divorce. NO words,
she says. ''can describe the infinite ou'ra-
ges to which women are subject in com
pulsory relations for which the law gives
no redress" Liberal divorce laws for
oppressed wives" she adds, "are what
Canada was for oppressed slaves
But We shall not undertake to follow or
comba. her argument, the drift of which
can ea>i' Y be inferred from the few words
we have quoted from her article She
makes one point, however, which deserves
much more attention than i, has vet re-
ceived from those who are now SO earnest
" discussing the subject of divorce.
The State, says Mrs. Stan on, seemingly
views marriage as of inferior importance
to all other contracts, and yet. when once
made, we are told that marriages must be
indisso'uble- 0 her contracts, concerning
land, for instance. can be made only by
people who are of age and of sound mind
The agreement mus be in writing, must
be stamped aud recorded. "But legal
marriage, in most of the Sta'es, nay be
contracted between boy Of fourteen and
girl of twelve without the consent Of
parents or guardians, without publication
of banns, without witnesses, without even
the signature of the parties, the presence
of a priest, or of any officer of the State"
That may not be a good argument in
favor OF divorce, but It does suggest that
we need reform in our laws concerning
marriage not less than in those which re-
late to divorce A contract 50 lightly and
easily entered into is not likely to be al
ways regarded as a solemn obligation =
The demand to be released from it must
be frequent and urgent. Undoubtedly if
the force Of public opinion was not against
divorce, if society did not regard it with
disfavor, the number of marriages dissolv-
ed would be greatly increased, 50 hastily
and unadvisedly are a large part of them
contracted

1t seems that no amount of suffering and

Engineer Melville, who was on the jean

leave of absence from the navy for two

Hon. Henry B. Anthony, United States
Senator from Rhode Island, died sudden
ly on Tuesday last at his home in Provi-
dence after a short illness Mr.. Anthony
has been conspicuous figure in the poll
tics of this country for more than thirty
years. He was a native of Rhode Island
and was born in 1915. He graduated at
Brown University, and soon af er assum-
ed editorial charge Of the Providence Jour-
nal, continuing his connection with it to
the day of his death both as editor and
part owner. In 1S49 Mr. Anthony was
elected Governor of Rhode Island. and re-
elected in 1850. He entered the United
States Senae in 1859, and has been a mem
Der of that body ever since, having enter
ed on his sixth term on the 4th Of March
1888. Mr.. Anthony was elected president
of the Senate pro tempore March 23rd,
1869, and was reelected March 10th, 1871
Though not brilliant speaker, Mr.. An
thony was an industrious and intelligent
legislator, and exercised commanding
influence in the councils Of the Repubii-
can party, of which he was a steadiast ad-
herent from its birth. If he had fully
seeved out his fifth term he would have
had a tenure equal to tina. of TAomas II.
Benton. AS it was he exceeded two of
the longest total tenures next to Benton's,
those of Senators Sumner and Wilson, the
former by one year and the latter by three
years. He was by much the senior in SER
vice of any member of the present Senate,
Senator Edmunds, the next in order Of
seniority, having been seventeen years in
the Senate.

Tammany for Cleveland

1t is generally conceded in local poi i,
cal circles, says the New York World, that
the status of Tammany in the present cam
paign has been fixed. and that this ancient
Democratic organization will no longer
he an uncertain quantity in the Presden-
tial contest. The committee on organizt-
ton will meet Friday evening, when. ac-
cording to the best informed lieutenants
of Mr.. Kelly, 1.-The Democratic nominees
will be unanimous Y endorsed and arrange
ments set on foot for one of the grandest
ratification meetings ever held in New
York. Amoag the gentlemen who are to
be invited as speakers are Senators Bay
ard, Blackburn, Norhees, Congressman
Carlisle, Cox and Randall, r ger \. Pryor
and Others
A we'll known sachem JUS returned from
Saratoga said: "Tammany will iudorse
Cleveland and Hendricks, and am pre-
pared to bet $1,000 that not a man will
rise in the hall and object to it. Tamma-
ny is now, as always, Democratic to the
core. While We were opposed to Cleve-
land at the convention, we shall support
him earnestly and zealously and he p roll
up splendid majority in this county
The delay in this matter has been for the
reason that when the committee adjourn
ed it was until Friday, September 5th, and
there has been no cause for reconsidering
that action and holding an earlier session.
We have maintained silence on the proba-
BILE action of the committee, because no
one was authorized to speak for the COM
mitee in advance Of the meeting. Mr.
Kelly and his associates have consulted
freely within a week or two. and. as the
meeting is 80 near at hand, I see no i'm
proprie'y in saying what will be done
No true Democrat could support Blaine
or his ally Butler, and as Cleveland and
Hendricks have besn selected as the regu
lar standard bearers we cannot do less than
to give them an honest and determined
support. Thea the campaign will begin
and it will be lively one

vile.
Gentlemen-Out of several gross of
Hugh's Chill Tonic sold since locat-
has been reported. The demand is in
creasing daily. The people have
learned that it is as represented
certain, safe and speedy cure for chills
and fever-and will have no other
remedy. This is the almost universal
statement of my customers in this sec
ton. Its advantage over quinine and
other anti-periodics have been thor
oughly demonstrated. Besides the eff
ficiency of this Tonic, the safety and
comfort attending its use speak high
~ in its favor. Small children take
it readily. In my drug store regu-
lar physician has his office. You
know the regular NJ. DIS. dislike to
recommend patent medicines. Hugh's
Tonic is the only one of which he has
ever spoken favOrably. After en-
hausting the Materia Medica inefiect-
ually, he was cured of a case of chron-
ic chills, of long standing, by the use
of half bottle of Hugh's Tonic. Re
ally it is pleasure to handle such
a remedy, for 1t never disappoints. If
you should wish any testimonials, /
can furnish you with hundreds from
reliable persons. The last lot ordered
is nearly run out, and / will have to
replenish soon. 1t is one of my sta
Piles. Respectfully,
II. w. WALTON.
