SOCIETY QUITE Upset

Society, apart from political anxieties,
was in sore concern over the social calam-
tiles which would follow the Emperor's
death. Fridays drawing-room would not
be held, and eyerybody's gowns were or
dered and made. The Queen could not
dine with the Prince and Princess of Wales
on Saturday, an event on which society
half counted as the beginning of new de-
parture. She has never dined out since the
Prince Consort's death. The dance at
Marlborough House could not take place

ALL LoNDoN WAS IN GLOOM

Last evening, as if some grievous domestic
trouble were impending. The German
Emperor was believed to be dying Mrs.
Peel held thronged reception in the
stately apartments of the Speakers house
at Westminster, and Lady Charles Beres-
ford had a small but very smart dance in
Eaton Square. The news spread at both,
and sobered the gayety of both.
The bankers dispatches from Berlin,
one of which | saw. said that the Emperor's
death was only question of hours. The
Crown Prince was reported to be hurrying
to Berlin ffom San Reno, regardless of the
grave risks which the journey involved.
The Prince of Wales was known to have
gone in person to the German Embassy in
Carlton House Terrace, where be spent an
anxious half-hour with Count Holtzefell.

LONDON. March Sth.-Prince William is

how little Prince Bismarck leaves to
chance. The Emperor was then thought to
be rapidly failing, and the Crown Prince
dying. To-day there is more hope of the
Crown Prince, and little or none of the
Emperor. But, whatever happens, the I'M

The English press INDUCES in a copious

foes are waiting for an opportune moment
to strike, the belief here is that they will
wait yet longer, but yesterdays news came
so suddenly that there has been little time

INDIANAPoLIs has a lady, if that is
the term for her, an equal suffragist,
who practices what she breaches. Her
name is Mrs. Florence Atkinson, and
she has just sued for divorce. Her
husband filed an answer that ID some
thing unique in its way. He says that
when he first met the plaintiff he was
young and guileless, and she older and
more experienced; that, therefore he
was ensnared INTO marriage that has
ever since darkened his lite. Son the
day Of our marriage" says he, "a
cloud was cast over the mind, heart
and life Of this defendant, and it has
never lifted. 1t had no silver lining
and no rift. 1t was an unreason-
able, unnatural, unphilosophical, I'M.
happy and ill-starred marriage. She
thought that women should not keep
house. cook, wash, sew nor mend.
They should be doctors, lawyers, poll
ticians, congressman, electors, sheriffs,
justices of the peace, and what not.''
In many and divers ways she harassed
and worried him and would long ago
have driven him to suicide but for the
fact that he solaced himself with liter
AZURE and ''delyed into the beauties of
philosophy, poetry, history and
science" Her suit for divorce he re-
CARDS as a scheme ito rob him. and
prays for the custody of his child,
which clinGs to him like the ivy to the
oak" We should say that both those
people are an ill-starred pair.

THE recent decision of the supreme
court of Utah dIsestablishing and dis
solving the Mormon church will be re-
viewed by the United States supreme
court. That court has already passed
favOrably on the constitutionality Of
the law prohibiting pelygamy which
is looked upon in all civilized
countries as crime. Whether the act
of congress dissOlving the Mormon
church clashes with the clause in the
constitution which says that
Congress shall make no law respect
ing the establishment of any religion,
nor prohibit the free exercise thereof, -
remains to be decided. However, it
seems right to conclude that a religion
that authorizes, sanctions and conse-
crates such a crime as polygamy is a
proper subject for penal legislation. To
denounce penalties against the crime
itself and yet take no cognizance Of the
church or institution that teaches and
propagates the crime would appear to
be a queer perversion OF Justice.

Mr.. PowDERLY, in a letter to Sec
rotary Coke of the Window Glass
"orkers' association, says that he is q
nrotAs etionist, and in favor of import
inc moth ing that can be produced in
this country. Yet. he says, but for the
efforts of the abt'ye named association
OF glass workers ''the splendid wages
they now get would be unknown"
Were it not," says he ''Icr the labor
organizations there would be no pro-
lection for the men who work" That
appears to be strange admission for
a protectionist to make. 1t certainly
is not one that Blaine, John Sherman
or Major Mckinley would dare to
make. No politician of the repub-
lican party could afford to make such
a declaration once. It would bring
him suddenly to the end OF
his political career should he do SO. If
Mr.. Powderly is correct and the tariff
affords no protection to American Ia
Dor, the inquiry arises, why does he
favor it? If he is correct, the theory Of
of the protectionist, such one for eI-
ample as John Sherman, that the tariff
is intended primarily for the benefit Of
the men who work, is false and base
less. 1t will be yoatter of some cnri-
osity to see how the friends of protec-
ton will go about reconciling Powder
ly's admissions with the assurances
held out by them to justify the tariff.

On the sth day of October, 1888, the
second term of c. T. Cavaness as
treasurer of Lyon county expired and
the first term of D. A Stahl, the
treasurer elect, began. Mr.. CaYaness
stepped out and Mr.. Stahl stepped in,
the former having held the Office two
terms, being the full time under the
law that any one person can consecu-
lively hold it. But it was only the
other day that full and complete re-
port by Mr.. Cavaness was finished
and filed, and the receipt given for the
funds on hand. In this connection it
is due to Mr.. Cavaness to say
that he left the Office in good
shape for his successor and turned
over the large sum of forty-eight
thousand and some hundreds OF dol
lars. In addition to the splendid abil-
ity shown in the management of this,
the most important Office in the county
Mr.. Cavaness has few equals in cleri-
cal work, large part of which he has
performed with his own hands, his con-
slant desire and anxiety being to keep
everything correct and straight. He
leaves the Office with the full conf
dence of the people in his integrity and
their admiration for all those gentle
manly qualities which have ever
marked his intercourse with them. A
more careful, faithful, upright official
the state cannot produce. Those who
have known him from his boyhood
have never doubted him in any posi-
ton he has been called upon to fill
and those who have come to
know him in social or business way
have formed an equally high opinion
of his sterling worth.
We hazard nothing in saying that
D. A. Stahl is a worthy successor of
Mr. Cavaness, and We venture the pre-
diction that he win duplicate the splen-
did record OF his predecessor. The peo-
pie in the election of Mr.. Stahl could
hardly have made q better choice from
among our citizens-oue combining 50
completely all the qualifications requir-
ed for the reliable and satisfactory dis
change Of the important duties of the

TrouhIs in thu Air.

Wednesday a trouble which has
been brewing for day or two came to
a focus by Evan Davis striking Coun-
Gilman Sexton in the face with the
sharp point of trowel. AS near as
could be learned some dispute arose
over the work on the city building both
men being engaged in the repairs. BY
the aid of one or two other counciImen
the trouble as Sexton thought
was settled, but when he came
back to the work Davis began
calling him hard names and again the
battle of words ragged. this time ending
by Davis striking Sections left cheek,
drawing quite a quantity of blood.
Davis swore out warrant for Sexton
and they met at the corner of Bun
drem's harness shop and the latter
gave Davis booting, when the trowel
was again drawn, but without effect
Sections wrath increased and he
would have followed Davis into
Moore's drug store but was prevented
by Officer Johnson. Sexton then
swore out warrant for Davis for as
sault with intent to kill. According
to those who saw the whole proceed
ings, both men are equally to blame
for the fuss.

Friday night about ten
o'clock some sneak thief CT
thieves cut out a piece of
glass from the window of Frank
COoper's repair shop No. 616 CONNER
cal street and took from a row of hooks
near the window ten revolvers. Four
of them were the property of Cooper
while the others were there for repair.
Two of them were first-class shooting
irons costing S1s and s28 respectively,
the others were of medium quality.
The hole was made very dexterously
and the theft must have been commit
ted in very little space of time as sew
eral parties passed there at $50 and re-
membered seeing the guns hanging in
the window, there being lamp burn
ing in the shop. Cooper returned to
the shop from the opera house at about
1910 and missed the revolvers at once.
The officers are investigating the af-
fair.
The window of Wilcox s. Co.'s groc
cry store was also cut open and five or
six cans of maple syrup taken. Wednes-
day night little cash was made in the
front window of Thomas & Jones' groc-
ery>store and some grapes taken.

tered in New York city alone. The
quadrilateral fight for mayor of the

for trading and corruption that it is

will be. There is well founded pre-
sumption that Warner Miller as can
didate for governor is in the race
mainly for the purpose Of being traded
off for Harrison votes. To what ex-
tent swapping votes in this way can
be carried is also matter Of conjec-
ture. He is long headed man that
