The remarkable and fast increasing
prevalence OF divorce in this country is a
subject of alarm. 1t is the "dry rot
which threatens the very superstructure
of society. In Massachusetts within the
last twenty years the increase has been
over 100 per cent In Virginia in the same
time the increase has been 20 per cent. in
New Hampshire 200 percent; Rhode
Island sc per cent. Ohio, so per cent.
Maine, Is per cent and in Chicago the
ratio of divorces to Marriages the last year
was to l3, and in San Francisco | to 6.
We live in pell nell age of headlong ad-
vancement, but it may not be progress, un-
less it be progress backward The problem
OF the age is to find the cause of this lax
ity in the social condition and provide a
remedy.

A Fathers Ruse.

Not far distant from Teccoa lives an
old man whose name is Jeffrey Beck.
Mr.. Beck's good wife died some time
last summer. The disconsolate wild
over is the father of son who is
known as Jesse Beck. Once upon a
time Jesse became dissatisfied with a
life OF single blessedness, and forthwith
made search for partner for life.
Jesse found girl that suited him, and
was accepted by the lady on the spot.
She was supposed to be, as we learn,
Miss Pitts. Jesse made too much
delay in making arrangements for the
marriage to suit Miss Pitts; SO she sent
her lover message, about as follows:
III you want to marry me you had bet
ter have it attended to Immediately, il
not sooner"
This completely destroyed Jesse's
peace OF mind, SO he went to the old
man Jetf for advice. Now, jesse fears
neither storm, rain, nor tempest, and
seldom wears coat even in the coolest
OF weather. 1t happened that Jesse at
this time did not have a coat. His
father thought it would be beneath the
dignity of the Beck family for Jesse to
marry without coat and so he ad-
vised him to go to work and buy him
one. So Jesse started off to make tn.
money to buy a coat which would 6e
his passport to connubial felicity. The
day after Jesse left the parental roof in
search Of work, the old man shaved of
his beard, put on his best clothes, and
went up to see the aforesaid Miss Pitts.
The interview resulted in 2 marriage
between the old man and the girl, and
when Jesse returned home he found
the young lady there, not as Miss Pitts.
but as Mrs. Beck, the bride of the old
man. - Toccoa (Ga.) NeWs.

Taxing the Saloons.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
The fight is on. Let the music begin. The
Council has proposed to tax the saloons to the
full extent of the law. and the saloons, through
their representatives, have given notice that this
cannot be done without resistance Nobody
supposed that it could be. But the struggle will
not be mere skirmish it is to be a hand in
hand fight, in which neither party is likely to
listen to any compromise. The saloons, having
long enjoyed tie mastery. are insolent and ex-
acting, while the taxpayers, becoming tired of
the burdens they have had to bear are becom-
ing FESTIVE and rebellious When the saloons,
ten years ago, took the matter of liquor
legislation in their own hands, and with
the law just as it stands and
forced it through the Legislature which they
had elected just as they elected the late
monstrosity, they thought they were making a
good thing of it to limit corporation tax to a
hundred dollars. Under the old law it was left
to the discretion of cities without limit and the
Supreme Court had sustained a 5000 tax at
Franklin. Now they come and plead the baby
act and go back on their own contract just as
they do on their III o'clock inhibition, which was
their own proposition; and they threaten to
demolish any body that opposes their sweet will
