OUR Louisville exchanges give a pleasing &C.
count Of a romantic runaway match between
two Kentucky school children. The boy was
aged eighteen and the girl sixteen, and were
students respectively at Richmond and Licking
ton, in that State. Returning home for the
summer vacation, with their silly heads full of
romance, the boy told the girl he loved her,
whereupon she we'll nigh swooned in the joy of
the disclosure. Aping the ways of men, he
asked her to marry him, and she, as might have
been expected, said she would. The two noodles
were now fairly swimming in bliss, and nothing
would do but that they get married, which they
succeeded in doing, with the convenient
assistance of persons older, though no more
sensible than themselves. A brother and sister
of The bride were got out of the way by a
little strategy, and tho pair rushed over to the
Indiana side of the Ohio river and made one,
and the alleged "happy event was telegraphed
to their parents, who, presumably. are sensible
enough to be thoroughly angry at the way in
which this foolish pair have acted. 1t is a mis-
take to throw the halo of romance about such
silly and questionable actions. Such marriages
are neither sensible nor funny. In nine times
out oft ten such matches end disastrouslv. It
would have been kinder had the justice who
married them ordered them home to be spanked
by their respective parents.

INDIANAPOLIS will probably survive even
though the base ball club should disband or
go elsewhere; but tits to be regretted that what
now seems a frst-class organization should go
to pieces. There is a lesson for the managers
Of the Indianapolis club in the base ball histo-
~ Of the past few years. Had the same care
been exercised and the same enterprise been
exhibited in former years, the club would now
be a member of a paying league. The
amusement loving portion of this community
has ever evinced a gratifying interest in base
ball and has given the home club every en-
couragement. That the club is not now in
better company is its own fault. For the
commendable effort that has been made this
season to make the club frst-class, and for
the success that has attended these efforts, it
is to be regretted that it has not plain sailing
for the entire season.

powerful influence of that noble friend of our
public schools was found to be on the side Of

THE result Of the election in the Tenth
school district is a splendid vindication of the
better against the worst and most disreputable
elements. It is to be regretted that in the
First district, where precisely the same ele-
ments were arrayed on behalf of Mr.. Frenzel,
the result was different. Both Mr.. Beck and
Mr.. Frenzel are, personally, so much better
than their support that it is a shame to both
of them that they permitted themselves to be
placed in such a questionable attitude; but, as
candidates, they represented the same spirit,
the same purpose, and their principal strength
came from the same source. They should
both have been defeated with equal emphasis.

BIG FEES DRAWN By LAWYERS.
Nearly 5000, 600 for the Fraternity Out Of
the Marie Garrison Suit.

New YORK, June 13.-Lawyers who are con-
nected with the large cases which arise from
time to time in our courts are generally paid
very large fees. In the cases involving millions
of dollars arising out of the wrecking of the
Missouri Pacific railway in 1876--at present the
backbone of Jay Gould's great Southwestern
system-by the late Commodore Garrison and
his friends, the legal fraternity received from
all sources nearly $1,000, 900. In one of these
suits, known as the Marie Garrison suit, which
has recently been compromised and settled by
Mr.. Gould by a payment OF 81, COS. 900. The
counselors' fees were as follows: Melville G.
Day, a large salary for eight years and 800, 900
on the settlement; Henry L. Clinton, a check
for $l65, 900 on John j. Jerry, assignee
of Mr.. Garrison, besides large sums previously
paid, aggregating over 500, 600; ex-Judge Com
stock, $500 a day for every days work, SIS, 900;
Joseph II. Choate, $25, 900; e. l.. Andrews, who
was in the case about six months, $40, 900, and
W. B. Putny, $50, 900, approximately. What q.
A. Runkle was paid as a retainer, although he
never had anything to do with the case, is not
known, but 1t must have been a large sum.
Neither is it known what was paid to Dillon aad
Swayne, but rumor says the amount was $780,
900. All these gentlemen were in the employ Of
the defendants, and their approximate pay was
$3.50, coo.
On behalf of the plaintiffs fewor lawyers were
retained, because their attorney was able to
| carry the suit through to a successful termina-
ton without a corps of assistants, and the fees
were CORRESPONDENCE smaller. Ex-senator
Roscoe Conkling received $50, 900. and William
Beach $18, $50, while up TO date Mason w. Ty-
Ter, the attorney who drew the original com.
plant and summons in 1877, and devoted nearly
his whole time to the various suits here and in
| ST. Louis and Washington. has received only
$25, 600. His claim for 800, 900 more has not
been settled, and there is little doubt that q suit
will be instituted by him against Messrs. Marie.
Cutting, Fearing, Cowdrey and others for its
recovery. Mr.. Tyler declares that he took the
case on a contingency, and should really receive
10 per cent. of the sum taken in settlement,
which would be 800, 500. So the plaintiffs have
paid out $94. $50 in counsel fees in this suit, and
a claim for $55, 900 is yet to be settled. Referee
Theodore w. Dwight received for fifteen months
connection with the case s15, 600. Thus on this
one suit the lawyers have succeeded In securing
for themselves about $500, 900.

ACCORDING to the News John P. Frenzel is
the modern 'lightning change artist When
dressed in the clothes of a police commissioner,
he is an official monster worthy only of denun-
citation, and representative of the worst ele-
ments of social disorder and public democrat
ization. When he puts on the toga of a school
commissioner, although the same evil in
huences are at his back, he becomes an angel
of light, a model official, and a non-partisan
in whom there is no guile. There is nothing
like having the powerful ken Of an 'independ-
ent' organ.

The News is entitled to the statement that
1t did support Mr.. Frenzel three years ago,
and that it was opposed to the election of Mrs.
Henry Cobufn as school commissioner, and
did rejoice at the 'rebuke" given by thu sa-
ICONS to that dangerous and offensive partisan.
The missfatement Of the Journal arose from
our not being able to grasp the protean char
acter of both the News and Mr.. Frenzel; for
the News finds Mr.. Frenzol an exceedingly
bad man as police commissioner, because of
his craftsmanship and bis representation of the
worst elements Of society, but discovers In him.

QUEEN VICTORIA is represented as delight
ed" over the downfall Of Gladstone, so much so
that she wired her acceptance of his resigna-
ton, and by the same hasty means summoned
Salisbury to Balmoral. England is not SO
vast a domain, nor is Balmoral so removed
from London as to call for this unseemly
haste in getting rid Of an old and faithful SER
want Of the crown. The progress of events
since the day Victoria was crowned
has been very marked. England
of to-day is very different from the England
of 1887. The march of ideas has been as
marked there as in any other part of the
world. The people, while loyal to royalty,
have been gradually emancipating themselves
from old-time prejudices and extending their
demands. England is a monarchy more in
form than in fact, and it would be q rash un-
dertaking, if any could be found
foolish enough to essay it, to ''Toryize'
and to push back the people into
the old ways. The Queen of England
can no more stem the tide of events in her
kingdom than could a single forest tree turn
back a cyclone. The force of political prog
ress, though moving slowly, is become ire
sistible, and the most that she, or any combi-
nation of aristocracy or royalty can do, is to
accommodate herself or themselves to the
logic of events. The time is coming when all
the people of that nation will be equal
before the law, and the time is
coming when Ireland must be
given local self-government. BY an excusa-
BILE infatuation, the glory Of royalty has been
the pride of the British people. The preju-
dice of centuries is behind it. But a new
idea has been born there, and is steadily grow
ing. The elective franchise has been acquired
by more and still more, until now it cannot
be long until every man demands it as his
right, along with his more favored fell
lows. Salisbury may be. very accepta-
bic to the Queen; his love for royalty
may be very fattering, and his aristocracy
very agreeable. DuL Uue ueeu OIL England Is
not an agreeable man so much as a man tall
enough to scan the immediate future and
strong enough to grapple with the demands of
the hour as they are and not as royalty would
prefer them. 1t may be that England's illus
trious sovereign is too old to learn new les
sons. But whether she is or no, the
progress Of British politics cannot be
stopped now. The evolution is not complete,
but it has begun in a way that admits of no
defeat. 1t may be retarded, but it cannot be
avoided. To dam it by aristocratic obstruc-
ton is but to deepen the food when the
inevitable break comes. Outsiders can see no
cause for graduation on the part Of the Queen
over the fall of a man like Gladstone, if he is
to be succeeded by a man not in accord with
the people and in harmony with the march of
events.
