ON POLITICAL TOPICS.
Chief Clerk johnson Discourses on
National and Local Affairs.

81 hear you held spring election here
since Eve been gone" observed Col. G. W.
Johnson upon his return yesterday, after
five months weary work as chief clerk of
the senate. ''Only four months until the
grind begins again. 1t seems just like a
chort vacation. No, there is nothing espe
sally new in Washington in a political
way. The first rush of the office seekers is
over, and l tell you some OF them were
dead tough. 1t cannot be supposed the
president can do otherwise than rely upon
congressman, so he is not much to blame
for some of the bad material that has been
selected Much of it is the natural conse-
quence of change of the administration,
but still | believe in the party doctrine of
holding the president responsible. Yes. l
thind Cleveland will be his party's candi
date in 1888 unless some significant and
unexpected change comes meanwhile. John
Sherman I think will be the Republican
nominee. Everything tends that way and
looks to pushing Blaine off the track. The
Edmunds interview last week pointed un-
doubtedly to Sherman"
"What do you think of this congressional
campaign"
"Gllfillan will be nominated without OBJ
position, and will be elected. This being
an off year, l would not place his majority
at above 800"
you regard Fletcher as out of the
way?"
''Unquestionably. think the GLOBES
editorial on his letter hit it about right.
Gillian stands about this way: If the
nomination required a dirty or personal
fight. he did not want it, and, for that mat
ter, neither did Fletcher. Gilfillan has
made an enviable record in congress,
! bad year as it was. The president was
vetoing all the public buildings bills, so
congress was cutting down on them and on
the river and harbor bill, so L think Glfl-
Ian made fine record, and especially when
| it is considered it was bis first term. See
here; have brought home little curiosity.
This" producing large, square white en-
velope. contained President Cleveland's
famous message to the senate touching his
right to withhold documents relating to APP
| pointments. The message was unusual,
and l thought this might be a curiosity"
| In relation to state politics, he said that
viewed from Washington he thought McGill
was ahead for the Republican nomination,
and DR.. Ames stood no show as against
Kelly and DOran.

AN INTERESTING DECISION.
Judge Lochren Gives His Views
Concerning IL Sensational Case.

Judge LOchren Gives His views
Concerning IL Sensational Case.
When the divorce case of Frederick K.
McKeen VS.. Ida V. McKeen, alleging adul-
terry with John A. Weldon, E. S. Award
and sundry other persons, Judge Lochren
was somewhat puzzled how to act in the
matter, the offense having been condoned
and forgiven by the husband, and state
ment in writing to that effect signed by
him. He alleged that after ne had for
given his wife and she had promised never
to sin again she had broken her word. and
deserted him on Dec. 80, 1885. The case
was delicate one and was taken under adj
visement by the judge Yesterday he filed
decision granting Mr.. McKeen divorce.
In reference to the contract between hus-
band and wife, in which Mr.. McKeen for
gave his wife on condition that she would
remain true to him in time to come, Judge
LOchren says:
The defendants adultery in this case
was clearly proven aside from her con-
fession, and conformation was admitted.
So also her subsequent lapse from marital
duties by absenting herself from her huS-
bands home after night without his con-
sent, and refusing to give him any account
of how she disposed of herself at such time,
and that during such time she was making
appointments for meeting her former para
mour and other men. The evidence would
probably sustain charge of subsequent
adultery, which would without doubt have
revived the condoned adultery. But the
complainant does not charge such suisse
quent adultery in express terms, but only
alleges facts which would be evidence OF
such adultery in view of the former admit
ted adultery between the same parties.
Without going the length claimed by the
plaintiffs counsel of holding that the parties
could fix any valid express conditions to
conformation, which [ cannot admit, or that
every failure of eonjugal kindness will give
ground for resembling the consideration,
which doctrine | also cannot, l am inclined
to think that what is alleged and proved in
this case shows unwify and lascivious con-
duct on the part of the wife, which, added
to her desertion of the plaintiff, is fairly
such breach of the implied condition on
which the forgiveness was based, that she
should conduct herself chastely thereafter;
that the original otfense was thereby re-

action for divorce was heard MAY 1. Mrs.
Mcdonald charged that two weeks after
her marriage her husband had became
angry at something and had tried to kill
her. Not succeeding he had broken the
furniture, dishes and lamps and in other
ways demonstrated that he possessed a
violent temper. Soon after her child was
born Mrs. Mcdonald said Mr.. Mcdonald

without means of support. At the end of
the first year of her married life Mrs. Nc
Donald was told by some outside party that
her husband had another wife living, never
having secured a divorce from her. This

her husband, and when the case came to
trial she said she felt certain her husband
