4 MORAL MAELsTRoM.

HE was young man who enjoyed
high living and fun" was the comment of
the uncle of young CLOVES. who a few
days ago in Chicago shot his mistress and
ended his own existence, when asked as to
the antecedents of his nephew. The state
ment is significant both as indicating the
laxity with which moral looseness is judged
in this liberal age and the invariable cause
of such tragedies as this, which, unfOrtu-
nately, are of only too frequent occurrence.
Despite the UtOpian views of enthusiastic
refOrmers evil will always exist in
the world and will always present
especially to young men, its most attractive
side. The concealment of the hidden thoms
is usually very thoroughly managed, but
the possibility of the sting is nevertheless
there. Until society abandons the habit of
condOning the fault of the man while con-
demning the woman TO irrevocable ostra-
cism there can be little hope for a different
order of things. The gilded dangers will
continue 10 be .braved and the inevitable re-
suits will as usual shock society, which.
however, will, with its usual facility for
disregarding unpleasant things, shudder
momentarily AT some exceptionally
terrible affair, such as the CLOVES tragedy,
and then proceed as speedily as possible to
forget all about it. 1t is not to be expected
that the danger can be thoroughly eradi-
Gated, but the influence of public opinion
and the making more attractive home life
and home pleasures cannot fail TO go far
towards successfully combating an in
huence the direful effects of which are
every day evident

A DIPLOMATIC REFORM.

Correspondents writing from Madrid say
that the reception speech made by Minister
CURRY attracted attention at the Spanish
court from the fact that the new minister
departed from the ordinary and trite formula
of court speeches and in true American
style prodeeded 10 talk 10 his audience
about things which he wanted them 10 hear
and in 4 manner To convince them that lie
meant what he said. Minister CURRY is a
polished orator and has an impressive de-
livery at all times. and is always capable of
expressing lofty sentiments and talking good
hard sense. The example he has set
in this instance is worthy Of imitation by
all of our diplomatic representatives at the
various foreign courts. There is a growing
feeling among Americans that our policy of
keeping up diplomatic corps i humbug.
The average American citizen fails TO see
any wisdom in keeping a corps Of high
salaried officials hanging around the courts
of the various mOnarchies of earth with Os-
tensibly no higher mission than To ape for
eign manners for three or four yeats and
then TO come back home 10 breed discomfort
among the people because of our plain
democratic customs So strong is this
feeling growing that unless there
is change in the methods of it, the whole
diplomatic system will be wiped ont within
a few years, and what duties now attach TO
that almost sinecure feature of our govern
ment will be devOlved exclusively Oh the
state depart at Washington. If, however,
our ministers who are sent out to represent
this government would pursue the course
Minister CURRY has inaugurated, of indOc-
trinating the people Of other countries with
our American ideas and sentiments, our
own people would be recOnciled TO the syS-
TEN. Instead of that, every American
minister who has gone abroad 10 represent
this country for the last fifty years. has had
the same stereotyped introduction and made
substantially the same fawning kind of
speech, and. as a rule, the first thing he has
done has been 10 un-AmericanZe himself
by exhibiting pride and vanity because Of
the personal attention paid him. In his
anxiety TO please the courtiers the average
American diplomat confeSses his shame of
the simplicity of our customs. IL is. there
fore, all the more refreshing to find man
of DIR. CURRY's ability and standing, to
take the lead in diplomatic reform.

holds that the church has not kept pace

itself with modern thought and scientific

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. 24.-In the
fall of 1852 young Polander named Stanis-
laus KrOsSki emigrated to this country from
the village of CzenstOckOw. Poland. He
came to LuZerne county and found work at
a coal mine near Forty Fort. Previous to
leaving his home in the old country he be-
came engaged TO marry young lady, Lena
SabOtSki, with whom he had been keeping
company for several years, but the Wedding
was not 10 take place until the lover had
found a home for his bride in this new
country. krOSSki was temperate and fru-
gal in his habits, and last summer found
him in possession of $4,000. He RENTED
Ss5 To his betrOthed, telling her To sail at
once for America. as he had home pre-
pared for her. KrOSski spoke of his COM
ing marriage, to a fellow countryman
named ZObOSki. who. it appears. was a re-
iected sutton for the hand of the girl whom
KrOsski expected soon to be-his wife. The
lover sent word to his sweetheart To come
direct to Forty Fort, five miles from Wilkes
barre. Zoboski. having found out from his
friend the day the girl was 10 arrive i'll

proceeded to the depot in WilkesbaTTe
THERE HE MET THE GIRL.
They recognized each other at once. The
girl asked where Krosski was. Zoboski
said he had been killed in the recent great
mine disaster at NanticOke. The poor
girls grief knew no bounds. The girl ac-
cOmpanied ZObOSki 10 his home. and after
she had recovered sufficiently he proposed
marriage. saying she was now in a strange
country, without friends, and it was the
best thing she could do. The disappointed
girl, seeing no other alternative, consented.
y wedding reception was held Immediately
after the marriage. which occurred Friday
evening. KrOSSki, thinking his sweetheart
would not come until the next day. went to
the reception with Others. surprised at the
sudden step his friend had taken, and anX-
iOus To know what the trouble was. Imag-
inc his surprise upon going into the room to
find the woman he was To have married.
The newly-made bride shrieked like crazy
woman upon seeing her lover, and KTOsski
made dash for the groom and tore his
wedding clothes to pieces. He would have
killed him had not friends interfered. The
bride says she will not live with the man
who so cruelty deceived her. Zoboski has
been warned by the Polish residents to leave
or he will be killed.

MODERN SLAVERY

We Americans are so apt 10 indulge in
self-gloriiication over the superiority of our
social conditions to those of the old world
that we become blinded to the actual ex-
istence here of abuses which find their
counterpart only in the most deplorable
forms of foreign life. The oppression with
which labor is treated abroad. the advant-
age taken of its necessities and the impOSsi-
bility of similar condition of affairs i'm
this land of freedom are fayorite subjects
for oratorical flights. But il seems that
we have little cause for this congratu-
lation, at least as far as the
labor performed by feminine hands is con-
cerned. Passing by the manifest injustice
which prevents women from receiving the
same pay given men for work no more
thoroughly performed. it is equally true
that the employer who seizes the oppor-
tunity given him by the fact that thousands
of women are struggling to exc out an
existence, miserable at best, to form ms
standard of wages, not on an equitable
basis, but on the possibility of starvation
which stares in the face those who are
battling for bread. is not only COM

the boosted spirit of American
chivalry, but in justice and Christian
charity as well. 1t has been shown recently
that The Song of the Shirt" is as APP
plicable in thousands of instances i'm our
large cities as it ever could have been in
the most crowded centers abroad to which
destitute labor throngs. Wealthy manu-
factlIrers i'm New York whose news in
fashionable churches are the most costly,
employ hundreds of women. to each of
whom for an entire days severe labor the
munifcent sum of % or so cents is given.
No attempt is made to deny that the work
in itself is worth more, but it is asserted
that the labor market is Overcrowded, and
that ali prices are regulated by supply and
and demand. With the women the altena-
tive is either to accept the miserable pit
lance or starve, and the decision is naturally
made to the employers advantage and to
their lasting shame.

The English Crisis
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-The statement
exclusively cabled you on the night of the
18th that the queen would receive the seal.
OF office of the cabinet at an early dota ia
likely TO be verified by an official announce
ment in few days. Communications arc
passing between Lord Salisbury and
Mr. Gladstone on the parliamentary crisis
the gagging rules, and the procedure in the
event of the ministers vacating their seats.
The final decision will probably be reached
tomorrow, but in the meantime no doubt is
entertained that the formal announcement
that the cabinet will resign will be made in
parliament on or before Feb. S. In
the opinion OF a majority of the ministry
Mr.. GladStone's attitude from the time he
pronounced in favor OF an Irish parliament
leaves no other course open. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY anticipated by the Tories that Mr..
Gladstone viii be ''dished' by the
resignation. In no other way can the
Liberals be forced TO a head, and the
WHIPS brought into alliance with the Con-
ServatlveS TO resist Gladstone and the
Nationalist. The authority for the above
statement Is entitled to high respect. At
Tory clubs the general opinion is expressed
that Gladstone has committed
POLITICAL SUICIDE.
by his course on the Irish question. The
Tines says that in the event of the resigna-
ton of Lord Salisbury, Mr.. Gladstone will
probably be unable to form a cabinet on
the basis of concession to the Panell-
ties, and that the way will thus be
paved for the formation of a moderatlS
Liberal ministry, which will receive a fai.
Conservative support. The defeat of Mr.
Ryland'S motion calling for measures to re-
store order III Ireland is looked for as tore
gone conclusion. Leading NationiSt members
of parliamemnt have received positive in
formation that the proposed government
bill for the extension of local self-goven-
ment, if proceeded with in season. which
is not at all likely, will positively retain the
feature of property representation, which
it has been for the past five years the
steady aim of the party to oppose with all
the resources at its command. Popular
candidates and electoral representation are
regarded as the key to the entire system of
Self-gOvernment. Should the govern
ment hold the Office and the bill be
proceeded with, a further amendment
will be proposed, transferring the central
of the conStabulary to the county governor.
1t is believed Mr.. Panell would off er no
objection to a provincial form of imperial
central over the forces similar to that eX-
listing in Great Britain.

Jacksonville, ILL.,, asylum, passed through
this city yesterday. The commissioner in
charge of the lunaties states that prior to
the war a wealthy farmer named Arson
Arnold settled in Hickory county, Mo-,
with large family. The requirement of
money seemed to be the highest aim in life,
and the whole family of seven sons and five
daughters deprived themselves of the ne
cessities of life in order to gain it. About
three years ago stranger visited their
home. and. after convincing them that they
could in short time largely increase their
wealth, induced them to invest their all in
what proved to be mythical silver mine
in Nevada. After months of anxiety they
learned that they had been imposed upon,
and all seven of the brothers upon the re-
ceipt of the news Immediately became
afflicted with a violent form of insanity,
which is the cause of their present trip to
Jacksonville.
