DECLINE OF MARRIAGE.
Figures Showing q Remarkable Amount OF
Oshbaoy In All Europe.
Poll Nell n.zatta


The numbers who, marry seem to be
steadily decreasing. The figures sup
piled under the head of International vi.
tai Statistics, which are tabulated from
returns furnished by The authorities OF
various European states, show an all
round fall in the proportion of marriages.
The falling OFF in 1886 below the aver.
age OF the twenty years l86l-lSS0, Is very
marked, although not so great as the diff
ference between the rate OF 1866 and
1886 Here, for instance, are the three
sets of figures:

These figures all point in one direction.
and alI tell the same tale. Europeans
are not such marrying people now as
they were twenty years sgo, and among
the marrying people we are nearly at the
bottom OF the tree. The Irish marriage
rate is in Itself enough TO account for
much Of the misery and unrest Of Erin;
and the Scotch rate is lower than that of
any nation In Europe.

There are three notable exceptions to
the uniform decrease of the marriage
rate, but they are easily explained. In
Prussis, In Austria and in Italy the msr.
risge rate Of 1866 was distinctly below
that Of 1886. The secret, of course, is
that In 1866 the three states were at war,
and campaigns and matrImony do not go
well together. I.aly alone of the great
European states keeps up her marriage
rate. II averaged 10 fol. elgtheenly ears;
it was 10 s IN 1886 In this she resem-

IT HAS been suggested to us that ii
Mr.. Kinney's Constitutional amendment
passes, it is probable that the Chinese
will be in the field with money, and a
large amount OF it, at the next general
election. This bears very directly on
the reconsideration OF the secret voting,
and ought not to be left out of considera-
ton. Every one admits that secret vot-
ing will check or stop bribery, and
legislators would do well to think twice
before they expose the voters OF the
country to the influence on a wholesale
scale.

ONE of the most animated debates OF
the session took place Aug. 18th when the
Coffee Bill came up for discussion in the
House. Mr.. Baldwin made very full
and convincing speech and it was fol-
lowed by several others which were ex-
ceedingly effective. The Minister OF the
Interior and Mr.. Widemann, as usual,
freely limited their mutual contempt.
Mr.. Thurston's language was perhaps a
trifle too picturesque, but it must be
admitted he had strong provocation.
The bill with some changes passed its
second reading, SO that its fna! success
is practically assured.

A considerable share OF the fair criti
cism which has been aimed at this Leg
islature is directed at faults which it
shares with all other organizations OF
similar sort. Our own observations were
of this class. The universally OF certain
offenses, if it does not excuse, at least
goes far to extenuate them. The pre-
sent Legislature, with all its faults, is
still body OF men characterized on the
whole DOT merely by probity, but by in
telligence as well. Either is rare
virtue in a legislator, and any assembly
which possesses both of them in any
considerable degree deserves to rank
high. We think the present Legislature
does stand in that position. In spite OF
considerable dissatisfaction undoubtedly
existing here, it possesses, we think, the
pretty general respect OF the country,
and that is saying great deal. 1t has
brought about some very important re-
forms and probably will effect a number
of others. 1t is too early to write its
epitaph, but when the time Tor that
service comes we see no reason why it
NAV not be unlike most epitaphsJ at
once fattering and truthful.

There is no manner OF use in attempt
ing to disguise the fact that Skinner &
Co. and no one else are the rival candi-
dates for the charter There is no use
in Disgusting the fact that the Hawaiian
Tramways Co. is Skinner & Co. The
cloyen foot will betray itself. The pros
pectus of the Skinner Co. furnishes all
the proof that anyone can ask. The
Company capitalizes at about $3.50, 600.
Skinner & Co. build the road, for which
the Company are to pay them about
s450,000. Does anyone pretend that the
road is going to cost that sum? The
$3.50, 900 the contractors generously
agree to take in cash, stock or bonds. If
they get the cash, they can draw out
with cool profit of say a quarter Of
million. OF course we have no means
OF estimating it precisely, since the con-
tractors have not submitted their ac-
counts to US, and it will probably be
some time before they do. But Of course
Skinner & Co. will not get all cash. They
will perhaps get enough to cover approx
imately the cost OF the road and keep
enough stock to control it, for which lat
ter OF course they will have furnished
no consideration. To the uninitiated
this looks very much like a job. It
looks as though the stockholders were
to pay for the road and Skinner & Co. to
own it.
