The New York World is consider
ed by many to be the leading Dem.
ocratic newspaper of this country.
In it's editorial columns last week
was the following:
Scarcely any idea for which the
Democrats commended in the election
has been carried into effect; buta
few thousand henchmen and depend.
ents of the politicians have been
given places in the public service,
and the "workers" of the party are in
a measure notified. The war taxes
are still untouched, corrupting pluto.
Gratis are unpublished, mOnopOlies
multiply and rings rule.
And in another column was this
paragraph;
1t has been found necessary for
some rural journals to tell their read.
ers that Minister Phelps is not &C
credited from the Court of st. james
to this country, but belongs here and
is just taking a run home.
From these expressions it is, Of
course, perfectly plain that the
Cleveland administration is a great
success.

County, Nd, was taken before ,Jns
tice Minnick, few days ago, to an
swer a charge made by Mrs. Lewis
Young, of hugging and kissing her

on Easter Monday, at grocery
store, in Frederick. Miss Youn,
was making some purchases, when
O'Neal, who had been drinking en
tered the store, and appIoachinc
the young lady began hugging and
kissing her at a lively rate. Justice
Minnick held O'Neal in the sum or
800 for his appearance at cOup
O'Neal, who is not in the habit If
indulging in intoxicanis, bears an
excellent character, and is VERY

EASY MARRIAGES.

1t seems that there is less formal.
ity necessary in these days to get
married than to transfer q little
piece of real estate. The latter re-
quires at least the signing Of deed
and the services of a notary or his
equivalent to make the contract
safe. Blu according to q decision
just rendered by Judge Arnold, of
Philadelphia, and to similar opinions
from the Bench IN this State, a YER
bal agreement between the two
ties is all sufficient, and will stand in
law if any witness whose testimony
is worth anything will swear that he
overheard it.
The services of a minister or a
justice of the peace are altogether
superfluous. The Philadelphia de-
cision convicted a man of bigamy
who claimed that the alleged minis.
ter was not person qualified to
perform the marriage ceremony.
The judge said the minister in the
law was only certifier, and anyone
could be that.
Waving of considerations of a
religious character, it will strike
most people that this is permitting a
very important matter to be loosely
treated. Where a man and woman
mutually bind themselves to be hus.
band and wife the obligations are
important enough to at least be
placed on record. There should be
something to show the fact, and to
enable interested parties to find it
out il necessary. The discrepancies
in the marriage laws Of different
states were bad enough before living
together on verbal contracts were
decided in some to be valid bonds Of
wedlock; but now the situation,
with the divorce and bigamy compli-
cations, has become much worse. A
reasonable, uniform law for the
whole country, we believe, would be
almost universally Endorsed. 1t is
worth while for legislators to give
the subject some attention. We
might at least have an Interstate
Marriage law from congress.-Nesc

A great deal of sensational news
of the day tells of young ladies VINO
promised to marry one man and az
the last moment ran off with some
other fellow. A South Carolina elrl
has varied the program. She mar
ried both. Perhaps her kindness OIL
heart would not allow her to refuse
either. This, however, did not save
her from being arrested for blgamy
The old way is bad enough, but u
is better than the South Carolina
variation.

THE RING ORGAN REBUKED.

The New York World, in its issue
of April Z, administered the follow
ing scathing rebuke to the Baltimore
San, because the latter denounced
as Cheap-Jack journalism the
Worlds condemnation of Governor
Jackson's scandalous pardon of the
Baltimore election judges.
"RING JOURNAL EXEMPLIFIED.D
"The Baltimore Sunpaper is at all
times ready to defend and Justify
the crimes of the organized rings
which long made elections in that
politically diseased city disgrace
to our system. 1t now brands as
Cheap Jack journalism the indig-
nant protest of the honest portion of
the press against Governor Jack
sons pardon of the scoundrelly elec-
tion judges who were convicted last
June of crimes against the election
laws, and sentenced to two years i'm
prisonment, before one-half of their
term has expired.
The Baltimore Sunpaper ap.
plauds the governors action on the
ground that partisan malice
prompted the prosecution, and that
the potent agencies which happen
ed at that time to be arrayed against
the Democratic party in Maryland
strained every nerve to secure the
conviction. 1t adds:
While the prisoners convicted
may hare been guilty Of all the ofen-
seS charged against them, there was
strong impression In the public mind
that some of them at least had not been
altogether fairly dealt with
1.-THE Snnpaper is right in saying
that the convicted scoundrels are
not altogether fairly dealt with. In
stead of two years. imprisonment
they should have had twenty. Such
crimes are the worst that can be
committed. They destroy all the
benefits of free government, and
render the great principle of univer-
sal suffrage and civil equality
among the people farce. What
effrontry for a public journal to de,
fend ballot box stufflng and the
frauds and periuries of election .judg-
es as democratic methods, and to
attribute the prosecution and pun.
ishment Of such infamous crimes to
partisan malice =
"The Baltimore Sunpaper would
gladly have aided the escape of the
accused men at the time Of their
trial. 1t helped to elect the 'ring'
candidate for governor last Novem-
Der, with the knowledge, no doubt,
that if elected he would he forced to
sat the convicted men tree. 1t now
justties their pardon while admitting
that tley may have been guilty OF
all the offenses charged against
them Surely, a Journal with such
Il record should hesitate TO talk
about the styles of journalism that
prevail in this country, even though
1t enjoys the arstocratic privileges
OF Lord Baltimore's plantation and
the patronage of the Bait more
things"
