THE PARK COMMISSIONS POWERS.

THE PARK COMMISSIONS POWERS.
The park commission has very prop
erly defined the limitations and powers
which it may exercise under the
present law. The conclusion reached
by the commission as regards the exer-
else of police powers is sound, and in
accord with the spirit and letter of the
charter.
The authority to provide police sur
veillance over the parks is vested with
the mayor and police commission. The
authority to submit propositions to
issue bonds for the purchase of lands to
be converted into parks and boulevards
is vested exclusively in the mayor and
council.
While the park commission undoubt-
edly is expected to devise and project a
system of parks and boulevardst they can
only recommend their plan to the mayor
and council, who are at liberty to ratify
or reject the recommendation. They
hold the purse-strings of the city
and are expected to exercise due dill
gence and foresight in the purchase of
new Dleasure-grounds.
The park commission has also inter-
preted the law as barring it from ex-
pending any of the money derived from
the special levy for park purposes for
the purchase of park grounds. These
taxes are imposed only for the purpose
of placing at the disposal of the com
mission fund for the maintenance and
improvement of existing parks.
With these well-detined limitations it
is manifest that the park commission
can only be expected to improve and
beautify the parks we already have and
at best may lay out preliminary plans
for the future park system OF Omaha.
Whatever steps are to be taken for the
acquisition of new grounds must be taken
by the council. 1t is not likely that the
council will undertake the submission
of any proposal looking to the purchase
of park grounds until after the park
commission has made recommendations
embodying the establishment of chain
of parks and boulevards.

ground for the hope that before many
years the great body OF civil employ
ments in the government, as we'll as Of
the states as OF the nation, will cease
to be the spoil for which parties con-
tend" With this reformation there
will naturally come very great dimi-
mutton OF that sort of political activity
which is inspired by expected per-
sonal profit for the political workers as
such, and by so much the inducement
to the bribery of voters and the falsif-
cation of returns will be diminished.
Senator Edmunds has no doubt that
the corruption OF the franchise can be
much more largely repressed than it is
at present by improvements in the sys-
tenn of registration and voting, by re-
quiring that fair and intelligent repre-
sentatives of the contending parties
shall be employed in every step of the
registration, return and canvass of the
votes, and by making more complete
provision for the punishment of bribery,
attempts to bribe, and conspiracies to
effect bribery. But besides all this there
is need of q better education of the citi-
zen in his patriotic duty as voter-an
education that will make him feel that
in all This relations as citizen he is
personally real factor for good or ill
in the great sum of the general welfare,
and that "his mission for himself and his
children is to follow the light that his
knowledge and his conscience perceive,
and not that of any other man."

preciated than IN Washington And yet
Lloyd spoke OF his "For Congress" as a
maiden effort and as being defective IN
construction.
His next play, The Woman Halter,
was also written for Raymond, and
LLOYD considered il a far more finished
piece Of work than "For Congress" il
remained one Of Raymond's favorite
pieces up 10 the time of his death and
was afterward taken up by Roland Reed
It's chief character was Solomon Bundv.

in gaining favors. II was a mirthful
story, abounding in epigram and, best
of all Qike his other work., contained not
an equivocal phrase or an indehcate sit
uation; il was clean.
In 1887 Mr.. Lloyd's third play was
produced at Wallack's theatre, in New
York city. On this play-''The Domi-
MES Daughter" Lloyd probably e,1-
pended more hard study than on either
of his previous efforts, and the result
was all that he could have desired. The
scene was laid in the New York city of
Revolutionary times, whom Sir Henry
Clinton's army was garrisoning the city
II was a faithful picture of colonial life
While it was by no means a comedy, a
strain of quaint humor ran through it,
which was one of its most delightful
features.
During the six months or so preceding
his death Lloyd worked hard, and fin
ished 1.-The Senator" for Crane, the IA
nous comedian, who will produce it
some time this season. Before his death
Lloyd said Of The Senator that he con
sidered it his best effort 1t is a pity
that he did not live TO see it on the
stage.
But in cnumerating his achievements
as playwright his other successes must
not be lost sight of. He was scarcely 1g
years old when he contributed his first
letters to The New York Tribune, and a
few months later began his regular con-
nection with that journal as q reporter.
A year later, in 1871, he went TO Wash
ington to become the private secretary
of Chief Justice Chase. After the chief
Justices death he returned to his old
work on The Tribune, where he was rap
idly promoted, and became day editor.
Early in 1879 he was sent to Albany as
the representative of his Journal. where
he soon gained 4 reputation for integrity
and fearlessness. From Albany he re-
turned to his editorial work in New
York, from whence. in 1881, he went to
Washington as chief Of The Tribune's
staff in that city. 1t was while he was in
Washington that he wrote "For Con
gress." In July, 1888, ne returned to New
York until March, 1884, when, warned
by failing health, he went to Europe.
From the time Of his return to America
till his death he daily contributed to The

A PROPOSED REMEDY FOR DIVORCE.

The Hon. Ed ward j.. Phelps, ex-
minister to England and lecturer on
law at Yale, has turned his attention TO
the subject of divorce in the United
States. with an effort to discover n
practical means OF lessenlng the OWL.
How great that evil is may be seen at a
glance from the fact that during the
last twenty years more than 10000
divorces have been granted, whereas,
during the preceding twenty years,
only a few more than 1925, 900 were
granted. This rapid increase is the
main fact which has directed the atten-
ton both of social and legal reiormers
to the subject. Mr.. Phelps treats it
from a practical, legal point OF view.
and considers the a whereby the
law may be best used az a preventive.
A uniform divorce law in all the
states he regards as impossible ever TO
obtain, and his view of the federal
constitution is that it would be illegal
for the United States to enact a law on
this subject, this being a matter which
falls within state jurisdiction. lie
addresses himself, therefore, 10 state
laws; and, after a discussion of the
main features of all these laws, reaches
the conclusion that the remedy Will be
found in a prohibition of marriage by
either divorced party 80 long as the
other lives. He shows historically,
that it is the liberty to marry again
that has caused such an increase III
divorces; and he concludes that it is
the desire Tor another marriage alliance
that is the main cause OF most separa,
tions between husbands and wives.
Mr. Phelps contributes this study oil
the subject to the Forum, and it ap
pears in the December number.

ARKANSAS MANUFACTURER.

Acofrespondent sends the following
from the Atcbison, Kas., Daily Globe:
John NJ. Cain, q lifelong republican
and protectionist, has become a con-
vert to the Cleveland tariff ideas. Mr.
Cain says the west which is the great
producing section Of the country, does
not want protection. but free trade.
lie says many republicans, himself
among them, voted for the Harrison
platform last fall under protest. They
disliked 10 give up old party ties and
recollections, and therefore voted
against their convictions rather than
for the ancient enemy, the democratic
party. Mr.. Cain thinks also that the
western republicans believed that il
was patriotism that fired the hearts OF
eastern speakers last fall; instead OF
that il was selfishness.
Mr.. Cain is the proprietor of The
largest flour mill in Atchison, and is
also president of the Kansas State bank
of the same city.

In 1855, when some of the soldiers
came back from the Crimean wal to
London, the Queen of England distrib-
uted among them beautiful medals,
called Crimean medals. Galleries were
erected for the two houses of Parliament
and the royal family to sit in. There
was a great audience to witness the dis
tributiOn of the medals. A Colonel who
had lost both feet in the battle of Inker-
man was pulled in on q wheel chair;
others came in limping on their
crutches. Then the Queen of England
arose before them in the name of her
government, and uttered words of COM
mendation to the officers and men,
and distributed these medals, in
scribed with the four great battlehelds,
Alma, ~Balaklava, Inkerman and Sebas-
topol. AS the Queen gave these to the
wounded men and the wounded officers,
the bands of music struck up the nation
al air, and the people, with streaming
eyes, joined in the song:
God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queenl
God save the Queenl
And then they shouted "Huzza! huz-
