INDEPENDENT REFoRMERs.

The Reform Club is up in arms against
the action of a few members last Saturday
night in introducing politics into the club
and adopting a resolution pledging the Or
ganization against a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor. A
number of individual members, are out in
protests against the proceedings. Mr.. JOHN
E. BAILEY. a Produce Exchange merchant.
says that the action of last Saturday was
taken by less than thirty members of tho
club, which has a membership of seven to
eight hundred.
It is believed that the club will demand q
reversal or reputation of the proceedings,
or that the organization will dissolve. At
all events, notice has been given that an
amendment to the constitution forbidding
the discussion of the claims Of candidates for
Office will be offered at a future meeting.
An independent organization of this char
acter may do a great deal of good. But its
usefulness is destroyed the moment it lends
itself to the intrigues and hatreds of q clique
in politics.

Is IT HARR1soN's MESSAGE

We republish to-day from the Weekly Ne,os,
the Chinese organ in this city, an advance
synopsis of Gen. HARRIsoN's letter of &C
ceptance. At least it appears to be that i'm
portant and interesting document, from the
Frequent illusions in it to Protection for
American WorkingnIen. the Pauper
Labor of Europe and the Private
Character of Trusts. The editor of
the Weekly NeOs, WONG CHIN Foo. is known
to be on friendly terms with the Republican
National Committee, and it is believed that
he succeeded in securing a synopsis of the
message when il was sent on here from In
diana for revision by Chairman QUAY and the
committee.
WoNd HIN Foo is to be congratulated on
his enterprise, as the news he publishes is q
clear newspaper beat over all his contem-
poraries. Probably many thousands of The
EVENING WoRLD's readers will have to wait
Tor the English version of the message before
passing judgment on its merits. But we give
them the advantage of the earliest summary
and if they are notconversant with Chinese
they can doubtless get it translated by the
nearest celestial aundryman.

DEAD"

Dead! Yes, I'm dead, and the cold earth now
Rests OH the CONN above my brow.

And know they we're coming and going at viii,

To those eyes that had ever loved so well
On my fair young happy face to dwell.
And this would have been our wedding dayt
My God! What q mockery. There l lay
Welded to death and the grave.
The prayers were all ended, the dread moment had
come,
When the loved ones l soon would be taken from
Crowded around for a last, fond kiss.

conclusion of his paper, that the Carlsbad Mineral
Water. as exported by the city Of Carlsbad. being the
natural product. is much to be preferred. where the
quantity of water is no objection, particularly in dis.
eases of the Stomach. Whenever the quantity of water

of q man whose relatives have had no knowl-
edge during his lifetime of ny such asso-
Citations.
Tho well-known ticket Spectator, FRED
ERIcK v. PULLMAN, died on the list Of this
month. leaving three children, who were
supposed to be his only surviving relatives
and heirs. At the funeral, however, a young
woman with two children appeared, who
claimed to be the wife and second family OF
the deceased. II would seem that the claim
is good that the young woman was married
recently 10 Mr., PULLMAN after the death of
his first wife, having been intimate with him
for som years previously.
1t is singular that men do not disclose
these secrets before death. II would save
much trouble ard litigation, In this in.
stance, however, the first family seem dis.
posed to make the best of the case and to
come to a friendly settlement with theil

A Few stati.tics on the Question.

To The Editor of The Epsnfng World
Perhaps the following statistics taken from
the Chicago correspondence of the Florida
Times Union, may be of interest in connec-
ton with the interesting discussion as to
whether marriage is a failure or not. Every
one may draw his or her own inference:
still. even including the imported cases,
Chicago's divorce record compares favorably
with that of Puritan New. England. Here
one divorce is granted to sixteen marriages.
This is bad enough. heaven knows. But
even this proportion is not SO great as that in
Connecticut, where one marriage out of eight
ends in divorce. nor so discouraging as that
in Rhode Island. where two weddings out of
agreeable to the lawyers as the showing made
by the farmers of Vermont, among whom
there is a divorce in every dozen marriages.
Even Massachusetts is more fond of divorce
thar Illinois, the average there being one
dissolution for every fifteen contracts" p.
New York, Sept. 10.
The evening world., 1888-09-11

To The Editor Of The Euening World:
Is marriage a failure? No, I do not think
scat least as far as my experience goes.
But married people would be happier If they
tried to be as agreeable as in courtship days;
if each was as kind to the other as when they
were lovers. A wife should remember that o
kiss and q pleasant word at parting in the
morning, and u cheerful greeting in the
evening on the husbands return from his
daily toll would do much to keep him from
wanting to go to his club or out " just to see
the boys for an hour or So"
Married life would indeed be o failure if
you could not have your husband at home
evenings to talk over little plans and ask his
advice on a hundred and one little ~trities,
light as air oftentimes, but we prefer his
opinion before deciding them. But if your
husband should want to go to the lodge or to
the club once q week or 30, don't remind him
%snappishly that he used to love to stay at
home evenings, to come home when he gets
| good and ready, and " You'll not find me up
waiting for you" &c. If you do-well,
my word for it, you will be minus your hus-
bands company more than one night q week.

1t also gives the President authority TO

Wicked Sergt. Price and the NeiEhbor Who
Wanted Pumpkins.

Sergt. Price is at it again, this time the
victim of his practical joke being a resident
of fremont.
In the early summer some one gave to
Price three packages Of seeds issued by the
United States Agricultural Department. He
gave them to q neighbor who cultivated large
pumpkins and other fine products. A distant
%neighbor, noted somewhat for his close
istedness and lack of sociability, learned
what he was doing, and he sought Price and
craved rather obsequiously some garden seeds
from Washington.
Price. full of mischief. gathered the papers
in which the Government seed had come,
had them filed and gave them to the man he
did not like, saying
These are pumpkins of an extraordinary
size and are very peculiar in their
growth. They require a trellis, SO that they
may receive the direct rays of the sun. They
grow very long ut first and then swell in ro-
tundity unit. 1t is necessary to put hoops
about them to keep them from bursting"
The seeds were planted and to-day O trellis
at Mount Hope is breaking beneath the load
of an immense crop of long-necked gourds,
which the embryo farmer daily nurses. wait
ing patiently for the rotundity of pumpkins
to appear.
When the truth dawns Upon him he will
give Sergt. Price a piece of his mind and
possibly may send his crop of gourds to his
place.

10 the Editor of The Epenf"o World,
Every one in Albany is asking Where
did Thomas Jefferson Rourke get the title Of
major Z" We never knew that he had a mill
tary handle to his name until we saw him
dubbed as " Major" by The EVENING WORLD
q few days ago.
We all know Tom. and 1 might say we love
him for the friends he has made. Please en-
tighten us on this important matter, but for
our sake do not steal Tom away from us. We
are willing to lose him for a few months, but
give him up for ~good-never. A FOUNDER.
Albany, Sept. 8.
An EVENING WORLD reporter HE'D himself
this morning to the headquarters of the
Democratic State Committee at the Hoffman
House.
Major Thomas Jefferson Rourke, who il
Sergeant-atArms, doorkeeper, bouncer, mes
senger and outside chairman of the commit
tee, was not to be found.
The last | saw of Major Thomas Jeffer-
son Rourke," remarked O hallboy, - was o
ing the limit.on fricasseed chicken at the free
lunch table. He is a daisy. He is good to
us boys, and don't you forget it. He gave
me a quarter Yesterday for calling him
LET me see," exclaimed the keeper of the
cigar stand. IF / mistake not Tom Rourke
won his title of major" during the cam
paign of 1884. He organized the colored
Cleveland and Hendricks Dragons, but he
never paraded with them"
A w~ell-known Albany Democrat said to the
reporter: Il have known Thomas jefferson
Rourke ever since he was q small boy and
used to throw mud balls at Republicans
when they paraded in our city. He has al
ways been a Democrat, but l never knew he
was the owner of the title major" until Q
week or 30 ago.
II think the honor has been fired at him
by som of his New York City friends. He
can stand 1t; in fact. he can stand anything.
He is q corker. There is only one Thomas
Jefferson Rourke in existence.
Major Rourke, Ell! Well, it makes me
laugh. am certain of one thing. If people
insist upon calling him Major, the Albany
Burgesses Corps and the jackson Corps will
disband. There are men with gray hairs in
both organizations who have been trying for
years to be called Major"
Now here steps in Rourke and captures
the distinction without shouldering o mus
ket. Major Thomas jefferson Rourke !
Great heavens, what are welcoming to? 1
can stand Hustler Thomas Jefferson Rourke
and Thomas Jefferson Rourke with the great
nerve, but Major Thomas Jefferson Rourke
makes me dizzy"
The above is all the information THE
EVENING WORLD can impart to its Albany in
