The marriage license bill now before
the legislature is one that ought to
pass. 1t provides that no marriage can
be legally performed until the con-
tracing parties have procured license
from the clerk of the Orphans Court.
The Clerk is required to put the ap-
plying parties under oath as to the ex-
istence of any lawful impediment to
marriage. Minors must procure the
consent of parents, and preachers, mag
istrates and attesting witnesses who
participate in marriage ceremony,
where the required certificate has not
been procured, are liable to fine of
one thousand dollars each.
This is great Improvement on the
present loose laws concerning marriage,
and if it passes it will afford some pro-
lection to preachers and magistrates
against the impositions that are now too
frequently practiced.

Republican Romance.

There is no end of the foolishness ut
tered by the political oracles, especial
ly by those who give their wise opin-
ions about the course adopted by Pre-
sdent Cleveland in regard to the off
ces. This is particularly foolish when
the oracular expressions about the pol
icy of the administration come from
Republican sources.
Two of these great lights, Congress
man Phelps, of New Jersey, and the
New York Tribune, agree in declaring
that the President will drive away
from his party the bulk of the demo-
Gratis by not being more expeditions in
dividing the offices among them =
that the managing democratic politi-
clans are so dlsgusted that secretly
they regret that Blaine was not elected,
and would, if they had the chance,
support him to-day in preference to pre-
sent occupant Of the White House,
whose manner of disposing of the pat
ronage does not meet their expecta
tions, and is entirely contrary to their
view of how it should be done.
This is the most utter nonsense. 1t
is not the desire of any considerable
portion of the democrats that the pre-
sident whom they have elected should
adopt course that would in any man.
ner resemble that which Blaine would
pursue. 1t was because they knew he
was an entirely different sort of man,
and was actuated by entirely opposite
principles, that they gave him their
hearty support and elected him presi-
dent. The Blaine methods are those
of the spokesman, and opposition tc
them constituted one of the princi
pal motives OF the democratic cam
paign.
The picturesque Jerseyman, Congress
man Phelps, processes to "know lots
of democratic senators who would bt
better statistic ed if Blaine were in the
White House" He is undoubtedly ro
mapcing in making such an assertion
The party and the people would bt
obliged to him if he would be more
specific and give single instance Of
such an anomaly as a democratic sen
ator who would prefer the carnival ol
spoils distribution that would have fol
lowed the election of Blaine to the
slow, and deliberate movements of Gle
veland IN the matter of removals and
| intments.-PdtriOt.

Russia, "Take what you want of Persia
and cut your way to the Arabian Sea;
build railroads over the old land of
Zoroaster aud unite with us in develop
ing the Southern world, only let India
alone," the question could be settled in
year, without the drawing of a sword.
But as long as men or nations are thieves
they will also be human butchers, and
if the Old World is not beyond that,
war must come. Times.

Luther Benson.

Agreeable to appointment, Luther Ben
son, the noted Indiana temperance advo-
cate, lectured here Tuesday night and
again last night-both times to crowded
and delighted houses. Benson is a
wonder. His speech pours like tor
rent and sparkles from beginning to
end with eloqueuce, logic, wit and the
tenderest and loftiest of soul elevating
pathos. His own experience as a drunk
ard has been of the EXTREMIST aud most
horrible character, and his denunciation
of the liquor traffic and his feeling for
the fallen are emphasized accordingly.
The sympathy of the man is God-like,
and no one who does not possess heart
of stone can listen to his philosophy of
kindness without having all of the better
impulses of his nature stirred within
him.
In this short notice we cannot nnder-
take to review or even mention the many
unanswerable arguments made by Mr..
Benson why whisky should go. To save
the country from the countless evils
growing out of the traffic, he is for legal
prohibition first, and then total absti-
nence in the home and social circle.
We are glad Benson CAME, and we be-
lieve every man, woman and child who
heard him is glad and feels the better for
his coming.
