LANCASTER, MAY Is, 1886.
Our Divine Practice,

Judge Ludlow does not seem to cordially
agree with his brother, Judge Thayer, that
we have very bad divorce practice in
Pennsylvania. Judge Thayer lately took
occasion to speak of the many collusive di-
yorces that were granted here, no opposi.
tion being made to the proceeding by the
wife or husband against whom it was APP
parently aimed, the testimony being taken
often in private, and the general cause as
signed being desertion.
Judge Ludlow said TO a jury, in a divorce |
case heard before him yesterday, that |
his twenty EIGHT years experience as
a judge induced him TO hold the
decided conviction that it was a
very good thing for society that testi-
mony might be privately taken in divorce
suits, as he conceived that "by permitting
such cases to be indiscriminately given to
the public the courts of justice would be
made sink-holes of corruption" He de-
clared that the present practice is for the
preservation from ruin of the regulations
of innocent children and honest husbands
and thorough good wives" And the Judge
added that those "who have to act in a
judicial capacity are the best judges as to
what is the proper public policy to be pur-
sued."
And it is certainly fact that judges of
the experience and ability of Ludlow and
Thayer are the very best qualified men in
Pennsylvania to judge and decide as to the
quality of the divorce practice. If these
doctors differ, however, we will need
to have a full exposition of each
side Of the case by then'g to deter.
mine which is right. Possibly we are
wrong in conS "ding that they differ as tc
the prnnr;e.y of publicity in divorce pro
ceedings, as we have thought they do be
cause Judge Thayer has made so savag,
an assault generally upon the Pennsylva
mia procedure and the facility of Pennsyl
vania divorce.
We hope that these two judicial athlete
may be persuaded to illuminate the matte
with their judgment and experience
whether they agree or disagree. II is a yer,
important question. There are those VIII,
hold that there should be no divorce an,
others who maintain that It sI49 "a -1e mad
10 easy that no pair, desiring to separate
should be held together; and betwee
these are those who favor divorce fo
causes of various degrees of gravity. Til
Pennsylvania practice, as Judge Thaye
says, practically permits any married pain
who mutually desire divorce, to have il
1t is only necessary that they should liv
apart for season, that the wife may prov
desertion by the husband, who fails to Of
pose her motion, and the consequence
that divorce is decreed. If this is proper, ),
would seem that our statute should l
amended 50 as to require the court to dt
cree divorce upon the appearance before
Of husband and wife, demanding separ;
tiOn. J'.ige Thayer, and most person
with inn, would think this very wrong
but as it is just what we are doing now
7 y. under cover, it needs that they should b
up and doing if they want to keep unwil
ing couples tied together in Pennsylvania

ONE OF the surest evidences of the decline
in patronage of summer resorts is seen i'm the
proposed combination of hotel men to keep
down the prices of their employees. For the
last few years the summer hotel proprietor
has been put through a conrual test that has
forced many TO throw up the sponge. The
truth is that money has not been very plenti-
full for the last few seasons, and those who
have found themselves with less amount Of
this wherewthal than usual have very
sensibly concluded to spend their summers
at home. This has been followed by dcpres-
sion in the business Of summer hotels 1t is
proposed to take time by the fOrelock this
year by reducing the wages of tho hotel
employees before summer sets in for the wise
hotel-keeper knows that if he does this when
the season is on, he will be at the mercy of
his servants. The proposed new scale limits
the wages OF the colored walters to not over
$40 month white walters, S25 colored bell
boys, Sl2; chamber girls, s., and cooks and
bakers from ten TO fifteen per cent less than
last year, and ali other hotel employees in
proportion. The prices named are in ad-
dition to board. Hotel employees need not
fear that their livings arc jeopardized by this
proposed plan, for BUSINESS competition will
in the end be the real criterion of wages.

The POStmasters TO Go.

II is evident that the Republican postmas-
ters are to go. Those who are not remov-
able for partisanship under the postmaster
generals specification, will not be many in
the end, the adjudication of guilt or inno-
cence being left to the Democratic repre-
sentatives and senators. They are recon-
mended to proceed in the work of elimina.
tion by degrees and to dispatch about q
quarter of the whole lot of postmasterS in
their district, selecting the worst partisans
for first execution.
The letter of the postmaster genera
makes two things plain the one being tina
Republican partisanship will be a cause o
removal, and next that Democratic con
gressmen will be entrusted with the worl
Of cleaning out the postofces in their dis
tricts. This has been the ancient practice
and the administration does not propose +
radically change the old methods. Til
modification which it seems to suggest
that Republican postmasters who have don
no Republican party work will he permitte
TO remain in their offices until the last, an
perhaps until their commissions expire
this point not being definitely settled.
lnasmuch as the occupants of the in
portant postoilices have been appointed
y them because of their active Republica
partisanship, it may be expected that tho
who have made their title clear to SER
out their terms under the present admin
tration will not be numerous enough
: greatly hamper the Democratic rcprese
tatives in the labor of love to which &
postmaster general recommends them.

THE swinging sign seems to have its local
habitation in Pennsylvania cities. one may
travel all oyer the busines streets of Boston
and not encounter ono of these nuisances.
That they are nuisances no intelligent person
who is not a sign owner will deny. But
they are more than nuisances, as they some
times act as life-destroying agents. The
other day in New York a stationary sign in
the shape of a heavy roll of oilcloth fell upon
a little girl and killed her. Tho child
had been playing in front of the shop where
the dangerous sign WAS placed, when in
some manner the heavy roll was overturned
and in its fall it crushed her to death. There
should be Legislation against the unsghtly
and dangerous custom. Either it is lawful
for children to play upon the streets, or it is
unlawful to make such play dangerous. The
sign owners should be made to realize that
the last is the legal view of the situation.

subject, said

objection WAS extremely uniounded

prohibit him from ciug u

statute relates 10 the man, not 10
the corporation, A rule of each branch
