spoiI Your wives

have been married for more than twenty
years, and can truly say that it has been the
happiest part Of my life. My husband, like
many other Americans, does not outgrow the
little thoughtful attentions that be paid me
before our marriage There are so many
little things which go a great way toward
making womans life happyi they cost
nothing, and yet they make such a difference
For example, the morning and evening kiss;
the word Of praise, Of sympathy or Of appre-
citation, the tap at the chamber door before
entering; the helping hand in getting in or
out Of carriage, omnibus or train-these
things are accepted as a matter Of course by
thousands Of American wives, and it is only
when they 60 abroad that they are struck
with the contrast, especially on tine continent,
where they hear on all sides "How the Amer
leans do spoil their wivesr-Good House

BELLS APOLOGY.

After weeks Of vituperative abuse
directed harmlessly at the EVENING
JOURNAL the Sunday Star says: 'Tht
game is not worth the candle" We az
cepted this as the only apology that
jerome b Bell can make He is not the
sort Of person from whom to expect a
manly or an honorable apology. II would
be as well TO expect generosity from a
hyena. Like the hyena, he must be
driven away with arguments suitable to
hyenic comprehension.
For honest and honorable people we
made truthful statement of our affairs
in correction Of street rumors. That
was sufficient for all honest and honor.
able people
Jerome B. Bell. Of the Star, and the
Every Evening were not satisfied. They
do not belong to that class. This applies
TO the Every Evening as a newpape,
chiefly. The personnel Of the concern
does not indorse the conduct Of the paper
But we think that the senti.
ments Of an honest and honorable
man should be in harmony with
the editorial complexion Of an honest
and honorable newspaper We cannot
understand why an honest and honorable
man should become fraud, fool and
a Pharisee the moment he sits in an edi
torial chair But however that may be
Bell and the Every Evening require the
same treatment. The yellow dog
treatment was what they wanted and as
generous and skillful physicians we gave
them as muck yellow-dog as they seemed
to require. Bells case is somewhat
aggravated because Of bribery and
a low moral tone-what the physicians
term general debility-so he needs
severer treatment. We cured the Every
Evening with the exception Of a stealthly
tendency Of sna-ling venom. which can.
not be entirely eradicated, and which
seems 70 belong to its nature.
Now as 20 Bell Of the Star. we asked
him to make an actionable charge that
we could make him liable for IN a court
Of law He declined. We made a
charge Of bribery against him
which was sctionable, aud dared him
to venture into court to sue us for
libel he whined out Of that. We then
offered TO put up forfeit and leave the
proof our charges in the hands Of a com.
mittee. He called that bluH. what

his private character because we have
not wished to spoil our editorial pages

The more the members study and dis

they become that the desire Of the people
TOR convention should not be cloude,. or
impeded with any other question-such.
as for instance, representation; but the
bill for them to act upon should be con

simplest form. All other questions
should be left for the convention itself

IN the Times Parnell trial in London
on Saturday, George Lewis who has the
reputation Of being the sharpest lawyer
in Englana allowed evidence unfavorable
to the House Rulers TO go unimpeached.
1t is supposed that he has something in
reserve. The only evidence of the gent
ineness Of the alleged Parnell letters is
expert testimony. Expert testimony on
handwriting is VIGOROUSLY unreliable.
Sir Charles Russell will begin his speech

THE question of the reduction Of the
tariff must be considered There are
four bills pending in the House. The
Mills bill is supposed to reduce the tariff
about $40, 900, 600, the Allison bin s4s,.
600, 600, the Randall bill $50, 900, 0OO and
the Forney bill 100000. Thus it seems
that everybody is in favor Of
some reduction Of the tariff, and that
however much the demagogues may try
to deceive the farmers, the tariff will
surely be reduced The House has passed
the Mills bin and the Senate has passed
the Allison bill. The question is Ger.

tariff will not be able to get away with

Salisbury Advertiser.
A bill is now pending in the Delaware
Legislature TO require fire insurance com
panies to pay to the assured in case
Of loss the full amount Of policies.
whether the loss of the assured was so
much or not The Legislature seems to
lose sight Of the fact that insurance com
panies are not compelled to do business in
the state, and If they do go in they can
increase their premiums sufficiently to
meet their losses from this source; that
is, honest policy holders and not the in

Parnell-Times Case.

New York Tribune.
It has not been generally supposed in
this country that Henry Labouchere is a
fool. He has been credited and dis
credited as people sympathize with or
dissent from his picturesque views, but
nobody has yet professed to look upon
him as stupid. When the London Times s
solicitor testifies that Mr.. Labouchere
offered to bride a scamp whose chief
characteristic he well knew to be treach-
cry he tells a story that Mr.. Labou-
cheres denial will sufficiently dis
pose Of If Mr.. Labouchere had de-
sired to bride Pigott Pigott is the last
man in the world who would have known
it. The Times's case has been weakened
very decidedly by the story of how it
came by the Parnell letters. When its
manager, Mr. Mcdonald, confessed that
the only test to which he subjected the
letters was the opinion of an expert in
handwriting he furnishes a damaging
commentary on The Timess methods

WE try to be as decent as the subject
will allow in the Jerome B. Bell matter
and we trust the public will bear with us
till Bell stops or the Star changes its
course. Bell himself is unworthy Of
notice, but the Star is a Sunday paper
with more or less circulation, and we feel
some call to notice the paper though the
editor is well-known personally as dis
honorable, disreputable and absolutely
unworthy Of belief 1t is one of the
evils Of the newspaper calling that a man
without personal or moral worth may
become an editor and while his character
IS unknown, his writing may have a
weight entirely out of proportion to his
worth. Under these conditions we shall
deal with the subject only as necessity
compels us. We esteem it shame to

profession, that such a man edits paper
