funny. So much for preface to a story
about another man who in a little
more frantic way has tempted the
public to lively criticisms. Out on

History will take care OF the great
events of to-day and hand them down
to our great grandchildren in many a
ponderous volume; but theme inter
esting picture OF the daily life OF their
ancestors will have to be made from
the advertisements now printed in the
daily papers. The Romans wrote
their advertisements and notices on
the blank walls OF buildings, and these.
as We find them in Pompeii to-day,
give an animated and life-like repre-
sentation of the very things we desire
to know about this once gay and
pleasure-loviag people. But modern
life rejects its interesting little phases,
moods. rivalries and concerns in the
broad pages OF the daily journal; and
a hundred years hence the advertise
ments in some well preserved copy OF
the Sunday edition will give q more
vivid picture OF what is going onin the
city to-day than all the solemn his
tories furnish. 1t is the advertiser
who writes for posterity.

DECLINE OF MARRIAGES.


The Georgia lawmakers evidently
think that the bachelor is dangerous
element in society, and should be sup
pressed. The Legislature has before 1T a
bill leyying e special tax of $3.50 on
every unmarried man IN the State over
thirty years of age, and the Atlanta
Consultation. the leading paper OF Geor-
gia says; The bill IS good one. and
we hope it will pass.
It might prove wise to provide a
law Of this nature for New England,
only the tax should be much heavier.
An exchange says that the statistics of
Connecticut and Massachusetts, show
that marriages are far less numerous
than formerly in proportion to popu-
Iation. The population of Massachu-
sets has increased two-thirds since 1850.
while the marriages have increased only
one-th.rd. Previous to 1850 out of every
thousand people twenty-one were mar
RED each year. while now the marriages
number only seventeen to every thsu-
sand Abont the same showing is made
in Connecticut.

a WONDERFUL ARGUMENT.

The New York interviewer who talked
with the President the other day, con-
corning the latter's delatoriness in max
ing appointments, was met with the fol
lowing explanation by the President
Some Of our friends do not see that
when Republican is left in office his
hands are tied so far as usefulness to
his party goes. III should turn all the
Republicans out of Office, without re.
gard to their conduct. should set free
large army of their most active and
effective political workers to labor in
every campaign against our party, and
every faithful and honest man l had
turned cut would have the public SYM
pathy with him"
If responsible paper had not pub
lished this interview and vouched for
its correctness, we could not have be-
lieved it was genuine, it is SO silly, so
Understandable, so contrary to all
ideas of Republican government. Nat
urally. the Republicans are commend
ing the Presidents argument; it pleases
them, for it keeps them in control
OF the government and avoids the ne
cessity OF activity at elections. Ii Mr..
Cleveland's theory is correct, will he ex-
plain why, in the name of Democracy
and good government, he became can
didate for election last year? Why
didn't he decline the nomination and
say TO the Democrats that If they
elected anybody, it would necessarily
turn the officials out and make active
politicians out OF an army Of Repub-
licans, who might be kept quiet if left in
the offices2 Why doesn't he carry his
theory further, and "tie the hands" of

1T WAS A TRICK.

TIE HERALD was confident there wa;
trick in the appointment of G. P
Judd, the Colorado horse thief. to g
position in the Interior Department
judas prompt and too willing comics
sion Of guilt was enough to arouse sus-
spicion, for even rogues do not do such
things without motive. The facts
have finally come out and the game
been exposed. Judd was recommended
for appointment, not by prominent
Colorado Democrats as the Repub-
ican press has been alleging with so
much glee, but by the most prominent
and Influential Republicans" in the
Centennial State, being no less per-
sonages than Senator Teller, Senator
Bowen and ex-senator Chilcott, all of
whom wrote letters to Secretary Lamar
heartily indorsing Judd as an able and
honest man, certifying to his excellent
reputation, and asking that he be given
a place in the government service.
They must have known that be was a
thief and rogue, as he had served a term
in the Penitentiary. and was frequent
occupant Ct the county Jail; he was
well and generally known throughout
the State as a thief. and the officials
could not have been ignorant of his
character. Itloolzs as if the prominent
Republicans of Colorado had conspired
to entrap the Administration into max
ing the appointment with the view to
following with an exposure that would
reflect on the Democratic party. Judd
was willing tool, playing INTO their
hands, and doubtless iinglIng their
money in his pocket. he never was
Democrat. and has only figured in poll
tics as an agitator among working men,
trying to induce strikes.
There can be neither excuse nor SYM
pathy for the Administration in this
case. 1t deserves the scoring thafitisget
ting from the. Republican and Indepen
dent Democratic press. If the President |
and his Cabinet are. so much afraid of
Republicans that they dare not
kick q Republican rascal out Of Office,
and il they care so little for the men
who put them into power that they re-
iect the petitions and recommendations
Of honest Democrats, it serves them
right to be exposed and reprimended |
now and then for their unwarranted |
fear and their friendship for Republican
horse thieves and scoundrels. The peo-
pie viii also follow with rebuke one OF
these. days.

% OOO. while for the past five years the
average has been only 1925. IN 1850,
.be population was 2, 339, ST. and in 1880,
| 3 1875, O62, the increase being 81 per cent
while the increase Of marriages was only
Is per cent.
An ugly feature of this showing is
that there can be given no good reason
why the marriages should not be as
frequent as formerly; indeed that they
are not more frequent. The average
of property and comfort in these States
is higher than ever before, and the
proportion Of young men capable of
providing good homes is larger now
thaa it was twenty years ago.
These three States have been men
toned because the vital statistics have
heen more carefully taken; but it is un-
doubtedly true that similar condition
of affairs exists in other American com
munities where interpolation is chiefly
native born. The rule is fewer mar
riages and smaller families in proper
ton to population than formerly. There
is an explanation for this, and is to be
found in the fact that the more extrava-
CANT ways of living in our day make it
much more expensive to maintain a
home and bring up a family than it
used to be; and that rather than be con-
tent with the simpler ways and home
lier though not less real comfort of their
fathers, many young men and women
of our time prefer to remain single. 1t
is by no means to the credit of this gen.
Grafton that this is the case. But unless
a change takes place in this regard, the
final result is easily foretold. The popu-
lation of foreign birth among US, who
do not refuse the duty of multiplying
and replenishing the land, will in time
possess the land.
