himself up to the officers. Tne trouble
grew out Of an alleged intimacy with
Bronslon's wife by Dudley. IE is

MAKING DIVORCE SUITS ODI0US.

| A woman shot her husbands lawyer the other
day in Chicago courtroom. She evidently fired
TO kill, for she kept her pistol pointed at her
victim until she had emptied all its barrels
She hit him twice, inflicting serious wound
Had it not been for the intervention OF desk
which partially protected him and disturbed
her aim, in all likelihood the lawyer would have
met his death in the temple Of justice of which
he was one of the officers
It is unnecessary to say that the womans crime
was O serious one or to call for punishment ade-
ouate to the offence. But the shooting is not
to be regarded as an unmixed evil In case 1T
helps to make odious the class Of cases of which
the one which inspired this audacious attempt
at murder is a member. The West, we regret to
remark has acquired bad eminence in connection
with divorce suits. Too many lawyers in sundry
portions Of that section Ct the country make di-
vorces without publicity speciality. great
popular Western want would seem to be an ag-
gressive public sentiment against divorces Of all
kinds AS rule, the worst use the marriage
relation can be put to is to dissolve 1t. There
are honorable exceptions, but there can be no
doubt about the rule or the merits OF this
particular suit under consideration we know moth
ing But reputable people who aim to conserve
the welfare Of soeiety-those who regard marriage
as sacrament, equally with those that do not
are sternly arrayed against divorce on eeneral
principles. And unless the current anecdotes
relating to divorce made easy which fall from the
pens of Western para sraphsrs are without point,
those wide-awalze observers Of what is going on
about them are brought face to face with ex-
tremely lax notions touching the sanctity of
the marriage contract-that contract which is
one of the leading safeguards of the community.
The fact that this latest divorce suit was re-
sponsible for brazen attempt to kill has ten
dency to discredit divorce proceedings. If the
next half dozen suits Of that sort could be SIM
ilarly dscredited-well, it would be bad for the
lawyers who acted as targets, but it might make
divorce odious.

MONEY AND BUSINESS

This is bad country for Mugwumps economic
or political The country declines to 20 TO the
dogs or to be prosperous in accordance with their
theories, but prospers on tho whole, even in its
periods Of reaction, in q manner most distressing
to prophets Of evil The improvement in crop
prospects during the past week has been largely
real though partly reaction from previous ex-
aggerated stories Of disaster. Winter wheat has
been injured seriously and will be short but the
late and cold spring has not prevented consid-
cradle increase in the acreage Of spring wheat in
some quarters, and perhaps increase in the
aggregate while the condition is now more favor
able than it appeared two weeks ago. Consider
ing how greatly the purchases Of farming regions
are affected by the yield Of wheat, gain in the
prospect for this and other crops as we'll might
be expected to cause decline in farm products
and an improvement in other products and in
securities But the tariff bill hangs like a mill
stone about the neck Of industry, and the cx-
cessive railroad building in the Northwest bears
fruit in wars Of rates which refuse TO be quoted
So there has been fall OF four cents in wheat

THE SOUTH AND TIE NEGROES.

Frederick Douglass has delivered stirring
address in Connecticut on the relations between
the white and black races in the South. From
the full report which appears in "The Stamford
Adyocaten it is evident that he has lost with
advancing years none of his fervor as an
orator and abated little of his old-time abhor-
renee of the enemies Of his race. He described
the condition of the negroes at the South as
NEST deplorable and as growing worse rather
than better No race under the same circum-
stances could improve. Plantation negroes
received eight dollars month, and then only
in scrip or orders issued by their employers
and redeemable only at one store. They
were at the mercy OF their employers, and while
paid at starvation rates, were constantly
cheated and plundered. He cited various laws
Of the Southern States and illustrated the
facility with which contracts were broken and
agreements violated in business. transactions
between whites and blacks. Although slavery
had persisted, neither the spirit of mastery in
the old master nor Of servility in the old slave
had disappeared. The whites did not consider
it necessary to keep faith with the poor, de-
fenceless and poweIlcss negro laborers. Cred
ulous people at the North, believing that men
who had lived by the sweat of other mems
faces would be bound by principles OF justice,
were accepting an absurd, shocking and sick
cning pretence."
AS the negroes, according to their most elo-
quent champion, are dcfrauded in all their
business relations with their white employers
so are they despoiled Of all their political
rights guaranteed by the blood Of the Union
armies and by the Constitutional Amendments
In score Of years the South has succeeded
in siencing nearly all references to its crimes
against suffrage. The love of irresponsible
power has become from unlimited possession
inordinate The dominant classes long ago
secured supreme control over local and State
government in the South, and have already
mastered Congress and Executive in Washing
ton. All these advantages have been obtained
by the suppression Ct the negro vote and the
violation Of solemn guarantees of the Consti-
tuition. The colored Republicans of the South
do not suffer alone from the crimes which are
practised by the ruling classes. Northern Re-
publicans also are defraudcd by the monstrous
suppression of the negro vote, as Mr.. Douglass
easily proved in the following passage:

This X, n simple statement of facts which
an intelligent fair-fninded Norherner can con-
ctrue in only one way. The South gets its
concentration in Congress and in the electoral
college on the basis of the negro population
whose vote is either suppressed or coerced
or thrown aside uncouIted. 1t masses its solid
vote for Democratic candidate Tor the Presl-
dency and enables its party to concentrate
ofrorts an three or four Northern States in
every National contest; and its power to de-
liver the Presidency and to dictate by the
mouths of five out OF seven Democratic mem
hers of the Committee of Ways and Means
the industrial policy of the country rests upon
svstematic crime and fraud. These are the
facts as this eloquent negro orator cogently
nresents them. 1t is also true, as he says,
tbat the men who once dared the North to
elect Abraham Lincoln are equally defiant In
declaring that Republican President shall
nos he elected next fall.
