The shnron.HIn Case Agaih

SAN Francisco, July Con- the Sha-
ron divorce case, in an appeal, the counsel
for the plaintiff Miss HID petitioned the
supreme court for a rehearing OF the order
made June % staying payment of alimony
and counsel fees awarded her by Judge
Sullivan. The supreme court granted the
petition. with a provision that the rehear-
ing be confined to argument on the char
acter Of the bond filed by Sharon, the de-
PENDANT, and whetberth bond is sufficient
to stay payment of alimony and counsel
fees, The supreme court decision states
that in cases where the fact of marriage is
the real issue, no alimony should of right
be paid until the fact of marriage or no
marriage is properly determined, for the
reason that there can be no such thing as
alimony unless the relation of husband
and wife in fact exists. The restriction of
a rehearing to the character of the dosend-
ant bond has created great dissatisfaction
among the counsel for the plaintiff.

New YORK, July 30.-The Tribune

Gen. Sherman, in which he says, The

tacle this city ever saw, Gen. Hancock
is magnifcently fitted TO organize and is
hard at work; he will leave nothing un-
done. 1t was a good thing to do. to
put all these things in his hands. Gen.
Sherman gave this explanation Of why
he thought New York had been given
the preference over Washington as the
place of burial. The Grant family will
continue to live in New York, that they
want the generals tomb here. | think
that is the feeling of the family, and that
when the country comes to know of it the

reached here to-day Of a collision in the
straits of Luca, on Tuesday, between the
steamboat Enterprise and the r. p. Rith-
ct. The collision occurred in broad day
light and. is supposed to be the result of a
misunderstanding of signals. The Enter
prise is a total wreck, but her passengers,
about 100 in number, are supposed to be
all saved, although it is is impossible as
yet to tell. Many of the passengers were
thrown into the water, but were picked
up. The Chinese passengers tried to take
the only available boats, and being driven
back tried to take all the life preservers,
but in this effort they failed. The acct
dent occurred about ten miles Of shore.

MUSINGS.
Marchi7th

EDITOR CorR1EsR:@-The musings
and reflections that pass through a
mans mind who has a oack in his
back-has good appetite and is
confined to his room, are amusing,
even to himself. Here are some of
them:
Is it required that everybody
should turn vegetarian because mag
digestive organs cannot take care of
a chunk of good beef-steak, and are
therefore compelled to fall back on
turnips and potatoes?
Is it necessary to abolish a skat-
ing rink because when / attend l
imagine l see the cloven foot in ev-
cry performance, and am compelled
for recreation to fall back Oh 'bus-
sing-bees," ''hide and go Seek" or
"catch me if you can?"
Does it not look a little selfish in
a person who tries to monopolize
everything he enjoys, and denies
the same privilege to others.
Our musings run a little farther:
We think that a young man who
could look at the eclipse of the sun
yesterday without blinking, and
kiss his best girl without winking,
would do to enlist to fight Arabs.
And what we call science is man
who a stick a hog in the iugular
vein, and kill a skunk in the morn
and in the evening be in good
to attend a social party.

The supporters of the Bismarck
capital swindle loudly boasted that
Bismarck had presented to the Ter
ritory a magnificent building worth
s25O,OOO without a dollars cost to
the Territory. A sixty days session
ofthe legislature in that building
has cost the people of the territory
over $4,000 where it would not
have cost them a cent if the session
had been held in Yankton.
The legislature at its close in Bis
marck refused to make any appro-
priation to further keep the build
ing in running order, and offices
were rented in another part of the
city for the territorial officers. The
capital building is a big elephant,
and if we we've compelled to keep
it up it would soon bankrupt the
territory.

"A GREAT many Dakota women
who do not want to vote and would
not vote if they could are acolding
mad over the governors veto Of the
woman suffrage bill. Even though
they do not care to avail themselves
of the privilege Of the ballot they
look upon it as ungentlemanly and
shant." Yet AFTER al spring bonhheettss
will ever remain with them a more
interesting theme than spring cleo
tions.-Press G. Ddkotaian.
In an endeavor to be "cute' the
editor of the Press & Dakotaian
thoughtlessly, perhaps, casts an un-
just slur upon u mothers, sisters,
and daughters, in the above item.
No one will dispute the fact that the
good that there is in man, general
ly, is the result of the watchful,
prayerful and tender training Of his
mother from infancy until he ar
rives at manhood and goes out into
the world away from her loving in
huence. A good mother, and who
of US have not a good mother? has
something else to do besides looking
after spring bonnets. She has the
care and training of her young boys,
who in the course Of time make the
men Of our land. Her work is per-
formed all right and the moral train
ing of the youth is satisfactory until
he arrives at a certain age when he
breaks away from his mother, so to
speak, and begins to mingle and as
sociate with men. He then begins
to visit the institutions instituted by
men, the saloons-our respectable
women do not start saloons-and
how many boys are able to with
stand the temptation and evil influ-
ences that ever Turk in the saloon?
Under our present system ofgovern.
ment the mother is powerless to
save her boy. Women as a class
have got just as good sense rs men
and finer perceptibilities of right and
wrong. Without the ennobling infiu
ence Of woman man would NATURAL,
deteriorate and revert to coarse anl
barbarous beings. We say, give the
women a chance to purify ant
spread her influence in every avenu'
of our governmental system. Civ
her a chance to say whether sh'
wants a saloon erected in front o
her door to allure and drag her DO,
down to ruin. She is just as mucl
entitled to the right Of suffrage a
aren. let her vote,

THE prohibition law passed by
the legislature just adjourned, is a
fair and just one, and will give the
temperance people an opportunity
to have a square fight at the polls
with the saloon interests. The bill
provides that the question of prohi-
bition shall be submitted to q vote
of the people i'll the several counties
of heterritory at the next general
election, and if there are q majority
of votes, in any county, against IL
cense, then the sale of liquors shall
be prohibited in hat county, and if
it should be found that a majority
of the votes in the entire territory
were cast against license, then the
sale of liquors shall be prohibited in
every county in the territory. The
temperance people now have o fair
opportunity to meet this question,
and it behooves them to put in their
best ticks.
