MARRIAGE No FAILURE.

That was a futile effort made by a
bright young woman, and one who was
happily married, "a short time ago, to start
a discussion of the question whether or
not marriage is failure. The discussion
was started, but it did not last long. 1t
fell exhausted on the threshold of the
millions of happy homes with which
this country is blessed. 1t would be an
evil day for nation when such ques-
ton would excite serious discussion. As
long as true manhood and true woman
hood exist, there can be DO question of
the righteousness of the marriage re-
latiOn, nor of the benefits that result
from its legal recognition. No people
could ever be convinced that marriage
is failure unless the public mind had
been debauched into the belief that vice
is virtue, that turpitude is morality,
and that crime against unsuspecting in
nOcence is one of the adornments of
the Christian religion. The associations
of home and the memory of innocent
childhood will all have to be Oblterated
before the blasphemous doctrine can
prevail that marriage is a failure.
If marriage is failure, then there are
no holy attributes of the human heart.
If marriage is a failure, then
there can be no such thing as
virtuOuS manhood or unStained
womanhoOd. Marriage needs not the
sanction of legislative enactments or
ecclesiastical DEGREES to make it obliga-
tory upon mankind. The marriage re-
lation was founded before human laws
had origin or ecclesiastical organiza-
tons were thought of. 1t is law of
our being, and will exist as long as the
human race has an existence. The
church and its ministers, the press and
its editors, are the most powerful auxil-
iaries of public opinion; and yet, if they
were all to unite OH the affirmative side
of the proposition that marriage
is a failure, they could not con-
vince the great masses of man.
kind, who prefer to cling to the
old and homely virtues practiced
from the earliest dawn of human soci-
ETY.. There are those who go in the
catalogue for men and women, who as

the WORTH, ny ldlhIIS dHu WIlIluS Ill nip
pant and witty strains upon this sub
iect. To such sage and philoSophic
minds there is no such thing as the
tender sentiment of love or the bliss of
domestic life. And yet, in spite of their
pretended skepticism, there comes to
every virtuous man or woman a season
of bliss which brightens all the earth,
when they feel for the first time
that they possess the object of
their devotion. The wife who is
graced by her husbands love is
more beautifully arrayed than the
lilies, and envies not the diadems of
Queens. The marriage state is the res
eryoir into which all the wealth, the
unsearchable riches of the human heart
concentrate. and where burns love
more divine than will ever be tasted
this side of the bright waters and peren-
NAL fountains of paradise. There can
be no failure in an institution of this
character, whether its origin be human
Or divine.

REFORM INPOLJTICS

1t is very ereditable to both parties
that in the present political campaign
there are so few that have violated the
common rules of prOpriety and the
decencies of political debate by de-
famatory personal assaults on the can
didates. Whether politicians are grow
ing better if not wiser may we'll be con-
sidered, but certainly they are becoming
more decent and scrupulous. Occa-
sionally the mud-slinger is encount-
cred, but rarely, except in cases where
there seem 10 be good grounds for the
charge, are the old-time allegations of
corruption and Gcnality made.
Outlines we are told by those vino
lived in and are always signing for the
good old times" tiiat the former days
of political campaigns were better than
these, and occasionally writer de-
claims against the "deeadence" Of good
morals in American politics. But the
history of old-time presidential coll
tests teaches that bad manners, bad
morals, and bad methods were prac-

ticed to greater extent by the par
tisans of those days than they have been
in latter times, since the world, as is
alleged, has grown wiser and wickeder.
THOMAS JEFFERSON was somewhat
liberal in his religious views, and pend
ing his candidacy for president, 'away
back" in 1900, it was freely charged
that he was a rampant infidel. and re-
ligious people were advised 10 hide
their Bibles, If he should be elected,
lest lie should seize and burn them
having first assumed dictatorship over
the country.
Charges of personal venality and pub
lie corruption were freely made against
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, against ANDREW
JACKSON, against HENRY CLAY, and
against all of the presidential candidates
with the possible exception of Gen.
TAYLOR in 1S4S-from 1924 down to
1860. The newspapers were filed with
unfounded charges and senseless de-
nunciatiOnS. The personal affairs OF
the candidates were largely discussed,
and the groSSest and most indecent
libels were published concerning them.
Nor were the outdoor discussions any
better. At every political meeting
there was row and often a riot. The
orators INDUCED chiefly in wild
harangues and in appeals that they
fancied would tickle the ears of the
grOundlings to whom they were ad-
dressed-ears that were seldom polite.
ANDREW JACKSON was denominated
brutal bully and murderer"
HENRY CLAY, blackleg and liber-
tine: Gen. HARRISON. IAN old granny"
JAMES K. POLK was denounced as an
ignOramuS; FRANKLIN PIERCE, as a
coward and poltroon. Even as late as
i'll 1S64-thOugh that was at period
when there was but little calm reason
ing anywhere-the charge was deliber-
ately made against Gen. MCCLELLAN
that he was d traitor to his country and
really in league with the armies of the
COnfederacy.
In the good old times" personal en-
counters and duels to the death. grow
ing out of political controversies, were
very common. There was always cheat
ing in the caucuses, and always fighting
at the polls. After every election there
were allegations of fraud, not unsup-
ported by evidence.
Notably in the present campaign there
is an absence of these things, to very
happy extent. The campaign is fairly
one of argument. The clear, pure and
wise administration of President
CLEVELAND is largely responsible for
this condition. His partisans are not
called upon to defend it. His opponents
criticise his policy, but scrupuIously re-
frain from personal attacks upon him.
The Democrats have treated HARRISON
with extreme courtesy, fact which he
has openly acknowledged. That the
issues of the campaign are miSstated
and distorted frequently is not to be
wondered at. but the most of the extra
issues have been abandoned. The Re-
publicans have entirely ignored the
''blOOdy shirt so far.
1t is not too much to expect that In
time political campaigns will come to be
sober and dignified occasions, when
only and in reality the reason of men
will be appealed to. and their passions
and prejudiceS left unaddressed and I'M
disturbed, and when the argumentum
ad hominum will be altogether dis
carded.

A COMPROMISE.

Once two gentlemen, very polite,
Stepped up to a gate that was narrow-quite
The one (who was very well bred and thin)
Was plainly intending TO pass within.
The other Remarkably bland aud STOUT
Was lust as surely resolved TO pass out.
Now what could the two little gentlemen do
But say with bow, "After your AFTER
you'll"
And there they stood bowling, with courteous
smile,
Their hats in their hands, for marvellous
while.
For the thin little man was very well bred,
And the stout man had not rude hair in his
head.
But there CHANGED that way philosopher
wise,
Who sageiy effected a compromise.
That each in turn should go through the last;
Thus might the troublesome gate be passed.
So first the courteous gentleman thin,
With greatest reluctance passed within.
And then the wellmannered gentleman
stout.
With polished ebeisance made his way out
But sadly turned and went back that he
Might share in the breach of courtesy.
Then The thin little man stepped out once
more
Commercially where he was LefOre.
And thus n wing settled the difficult case,
Each walked away with Il jul liant face.

their names on the registry list in order
to vote. We take it for granted that
each citizen feels interest enough in
the results of the approaching election
to have desire to give formal express

If MARRIAGE is failure, there is no
shortage in the East of young women
willing to take its risks. One of them,
a Miss SANDELL, lately journeyed alone
1000 miles to the Turtle mountains of
Dakota to share welded life with a
man she had only seen by photograph.
Philanthropy and devotion to the veal
of the race may influence such, but
they evidently believe that an average
Dakota husband is good thing to have
in a family.
