The Divorce EVIL.

The marriage of Mrs Hammersley to the
Duke of Marlborough i'll New York, last
Friday, attracted a great deal of attention
for two reasons The first was the wealth
of Mrs. Hammorsey and the rank of the
Duke, and the second was the difficulty ex-
perienced in getting clergyman to unite
them in marriage.
They were married by Mayor Hewitt at
the City hall, and that marriage was, of
course, legal one, but they also wanted
their marriage solemnized by religious
ceremony They are both members of the
Episcopal church, and that church does not
recognize divorce The duke married the
daughter of the Duke of Abercorn in 1869,
when he was the Marquis of Blanford, and
five years ago his wife obtained divorce
from him on the ground that he had violated
his marriage contract.
Several Episcopal clergymen were asked
to ofliciate at the marriage of the duke to
Mrs Hammersley, and they refused. No
Episcopal minister would marry them, and
they were greatly disappointed. Ministers
of the Lutheran church were requested to
perform the ceremony, but that church is
also against divorce, and they doclued.
Finally a minister of the Baptist church
consented to perform the religious ceremony
for them, and thus, after much trouble,
they had the satisfaction of having both a
civil and religious marriage.
1t is admitted that the divorce evil is a
great one and that it is constantly grow
ing Many of the thousands of divorces
which are granted every year in this coun-
try are without reasonable excuse. Homes
are destroyed, families are scattered and
the lives of innocent persons are wrecked.
There are instances, of course. where d-
vorce is justifable, but if divorces could
not be obtained there would be a great deal
less misery and suffering in the world than
there is under the present loose practice Of
granting them.
Would not the divorce evil be lessened if
all religious denominations should refuse to
countenance divorcesl The Catholic, Epis-
copal and Lutheran churches are against
them, and if all the other churches should
disapprove CT them, there would, i'll all
probability, be decline in tho divorce evil
If people were sure that no church
would recognize the marriage of a
divorced person while the other party to
the divorce was living, the majority of those
who seek divorces would bear the annoy
ances and troubles of their married
state a long time before seeking a divorce.
And, besides, if the influence of all religious
denominations were thrown against sever
ing the marriage tie, divorces would be
regarded with much less favor, and, hence.
would be much less sought.

Disohndiant Omcnholders.

There We're several Federal officials at the
st. Louis convention, and some OF them
were active in behalf OF their friends who
we're aspirants for the nomination for vice
president or wro wanted places Oh the
national committee Some of the postofiice
officials were there in the interest OF
Assistant Postmaster General Stevenson,
and there were officials of the pension
bureau there in the interest of Gen. Black,
the commissioner Of pensions. Both Stew
enson and Black were troubled by vice
presidential bee, but tho result showed that
the vice presidential nomination was never
within their reach
The order of the President prohibiting
federal officials from negecting their duties
| TO attend political conventions is still in
| force, and there is a prospect that some OF
those who have djsobeyed the order will
have their attention called TO it in way
that will not be pleasant
There is case of disobedience Of this
order now pending before the Postmaster
General, and the decision is awaited with
good deal of interest. A man by the
name Of Wilbanks, who is a division
superintendent of the Chicago post-oflice,
attended the st. Louis convention and, it is
| alleged, was active in getting his friend,
Erskine NJ. Phelps, the president of the lro-
| qois club, of Chicago, appointed member
Of the national committee. Mr.. w. G..
Cloudy, prominent Illinois politician, was
candidate for the Same place, and lie and
| his friends say that if it had not been for
| Willbanks he would have got it. 1t is
stated that Mr. GouiJ has filed complaint
with the Postmaster General against Will
banks, and insists that he shall be dismissed
| from his office.
II the complaint is pressed, it will cause
the Postmaster General a good deal OF
annoyance in all probability, and may
embarrass the chiefs Of some of the depart
ments, whose subordinates were working
| for their friends at St Louis.
The olIiceholders had nothing to do with
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland and he
is not under any obligations to them. The
people demanded his denomination because
he had proved himself to be in every way
worthy of it. If the case that is pending
before the Postmaster General, therefore
reaches him, he will be free to act as he
| thinks best If he finds that his order has
been disobeyed, he cannot do a wiser MOI
more popular thing than to punish those
who have been guilty of disobedience. The
wisdom Of his order respecting oflicehOld
ers has been very generally admitted, and
the people will applaud him if he en-
| forces it.

Georgia's Congressional Vote.


At the republican ratification meeting IN
New York last week. ext Congressman Horr'
Of Michigan, in support of his assertt'h
that the coi0red vote in the south X sup
pressed, asked why it was that Only ''O"o
votes were necessary ~ elect congress
man in Georgia, while $4,000 we're required
in New York. OF course Mr.. llorr knew
why it was that at tho last congressional
election the vote for congressman IN most
If the Georgia districts was so small, but II
did not suit his purpose TO state the reason
ii he had done 50 he would have satiNiac-
torily answered his own question, and de
stroyed the effect of tho point lie was trying
to make.
At the last congressional election there
was virtually no opposition TO the demo
cratic candidates, and, it being absolutely
certain that they wouli be elected, com
paratively few voters vent TO the polls.
Had there been republican candidates in all
the congressional districts, as th"ro were in
New York, there wonld have been "a big
vote and there would have been 10 occasion
for Mr.. Ilorr's question. Mr. Horn forgot
TO call attention to the large vote recently
cast in tho election in Louisiana where there
was both n democratic and republican
ticket. There was Il contest in that state
and both parties voted very nearly their
full strength. If Mr. Horr had called at
tention to the vote in Louisiana, however,
there would have been no force in his state
ment that the colored vote in the south is
suppressed.
Perhaps Mr.. Horn would like to know the
reason there we're no republican candidates
for congress in Georgia in the last con
gressiOnal election. He can easily satisfy
himself on that point if he is not already in
formed with regard toit. The republican
party in this state, what there is of it, is
completely disorganzed. The local leaders
have, to great extent, given up politics,
and if nominations were made it would be
about impossible for the party to arouse
much enthusiasm among its adherents or to
get any considerable percentage Of them to
go to the polls.
In the next election the congressional
vote will be much larger than it was in the
last, because a President is to be elected
From present indications the democratic
candidates for congress will have no oppo-
sition. In two or three of the districts
there may be republican candidates, but if
there should be it is not probable that the
canvass i'll their behalf will be very vigo-
rous Democrats should see to it that their
candidates have such vote in their re-
spective districts as to preclude i'll the
future illusions to GeOrgias small vote for
her congressman.

An interesting case which will now go to
the United States supreme court is that of
Mrs. Sallie Z. Hellman, of Iowa, against
several life insurance companies. Ten
years ago Mr.. Hellman, whose life was in
sured for S25, 900, started with j. II. Brown
to locate cattle ranch near the borders of
Indian Territory. In a few days Brown
reported that Hellman had accidentally
shot himself. An inquest was held at the
nearest village and verdict of accidental
killing returned. The insurance companies,
however, were not satisfied, aud had the
body disinterred and taken to Helman's
old home, whore dispute as to its identity
arose, and Brown confessed that the body
was that Of a man whom Hellman had
murdered. The companies refused TO pay
the insurance, and the court sustained
them. After the trial, however, the sup
posed murdered man appeared on the scene,
and a new trial resulted in a verdict for the
widow, Brown testifying that he had been
bribed by the companies to give false testi-
mony in the former trial. AS last resort,
the companies have now taken the case to
the United States supreme court

The probability is that this will be good
year for business, notwithstanding the fact
that it is presidential election year
People look for depression in business when
there is great political excitement, and
they help to produce the depression by
acting as if they expected it. Those who
hope to advance their selfish purposes by
means of this condition of the public mind
encourage it. Some of the republican
organs are already talking about the de
preston in business, although there is no
depression, and no immediate prospect of
any. Their aim. however, is to create the
impression that the effort Of a democratic
par y to reduce the tariff is damaging bust
ness, and will likely produce financial dis
asters. The people, however, ought not
to Ice misled by these gloomy predictions
from republican sources They ought tC
judge for themselves whether or not there
is depression in business. Their judg
ment is as good as that of any partisan
newspaper on this point.
There is one republican newspaper that i,
| sufficiently courageous to defy party dicta-
ton and honest enough to tell the truth II
is the Philadelphia Ledger. That journal
says that the 60,OO0,0O0 of people in this
| country are living in prosperity; that there
are no great masses Of unemployed working
mon, and that as rule wages are higher
than usual. Capital and labor" says the
Ledger, "are upon better terms, apparently
than they have been since 1856 a. is happily
indicated by the absence Of any great strikes
or lockOutS. Money is abundant, financial
credit excellent, public confidence good, the
crop prospects fair and the vast mass of the
people busy and receiving liberal wages OF
satisfactory profits. Apart from the general
signs of rational prosperity, there is one in
particular which is unfailing in its assur-
ance Of mercantile activity. 1t is that of
the continuous prosperity of the railroads
of the country, which is to be seen in the
rehabilitation of those which little while
ago were buried under avalanchos of dis
honored obligations, of the extension of old,
or the building Of new ones; the companies
stretching out their arms of iron and steel
in all directions. When the railroad com
panies are active and prosperous there can
be no such thing as trade depression The
safe, buSneSs-like and honest administra-
ton of President Cleveland has much to
do with this gratifying state of affairs. 1t
inspires business men with confidence,
which is increased with the probability that
there will BE- no change in the control of the
government for the next four years, and the
country is to be congratulated on this
probability.

At the lunch given by Secretary Whit
ney at Grasslands, his country place, near
Washington, the other day, TO the members
of the national democratic committee, the
secretary captured one of the committee, n
northern man, by the skillful way in which
he carved ham there There were so many
other things on the table that a large ham
was left uncarved. A committeeman
wanted piece of it and asked some one
to cut it, The handsome secretary stepped
up, and in a few seconds proved his skill as
the head of the family. The committee
man, when a favorable opportunity pre-
sented itself, remarked that he had never
liked Whitney before because he looked
like dude, but man who could carve a
ham like he did was a true democrat, and
he would vote for him for President in 1892.
