THE meeting of the Society of
Christian Endeavor is a notable event.
The various branches are the instru-
ments of much good in their several
localities and the annual reunion of
all is importantto their work, because
in religion as in politics, organization
and cooperation, are the secrets OF
success.
By the way, we commend to the
attention of the assemblage the build
ing only a few blocks distant-the
Mara Foundry-where Satan is doing
his best to perpetuate his reign in
spite of the activity of Christian en-.
deavor.

The Very Worst Kind of Husband.
"Now that l have secured evidence
of her wickedness, my only resort is a
divorce
So says Mr.. Richard M. Young, the
cowardly wretch who engineered a
conspiracy to entrap his wife in a
room in a Paterson hotel with a man
whom he had hired to ruin her.
But Mr.. Young is all wrong. He
has no standing whatever in court on
the strength of the incident. The
offence he complains of, if it was
really committed, was a collusive one.
He was an accessory, and under no
law in the world can he take advan-
tage of the crime whereof he procured
the committal.
On the contrary, Nh. Young is liable
under the laws of this State for con-
spring to effect the seduction of a
woman, presumptively of proper life.
A strong movement is on foot to in
dict him in Passaic county. Every
honest man in the State must
earnestly pray for it's uccess
And let us hope that when indict-
ments are being given out, the cur
who consented to act as the husbands
agent will not be forgotten.

WOMANKIND IN JAPAN.

Indian Squaws Have Rights-A French

in the Nursery.
In Japan women have always held
a higher position than in other Asiatic
countries. They go about freely
wherever they please, and the seclu-
sion of the Chinese is wholly unknown
to them. The schools receive as many
girls as boys; and as a result OF my
observations / can safely say, without
idle compliment, that the former are
brighter than the latter.
BY degrees, and under these favor
able conditions for general obserya-
ton, some of the causes of hepeople's
happy spirit of independence began to
be revealed to me. The simplicity of
their lives, in which enters no selfish
rivalry to Guido one another, accounts
in a large measure for the enviable re-
suit. Regarding one another very
much as belonging to n family. their
mode of life is more or less on the same
plane, and consequently a spirit OF
great harmony prevails. A very small
income is sufficient to supply the or
binary necessities of life, and every
thing else is secured with but little
effort. Household effects are few and
inexpensive; and should everything
be destroyedby fire or lost in any way,
it is not an ~irreparable calamity. All
can be replaced at a small outlay and
life go on as before.
The tenant upon renting a house is
put to little expense to furnish it; IN
deed, he requires absolutely no furni-
ture at all. The clean, finely woven
mats which cover the floor serve as
table, chair and bed; and as it is the
universal custom to remove the shoes
before entering a house, there is no
danger of ones bringing with him the
| dirt from the streets.
His bedding consists of cotton
quilts, which are spread out on the
floor at night, rolled together in the
morning and stored away in a closet

plete the furnishing of a room. Yet
it does not seem empty or cheerless;
for the general arrangement OF har-
monious colors, the different woods
employed in its visible construction
and the beauty of the finished work
manship, make a most harmonious
and pleasing combination. Paint is
never used to cover the wood, mnch
less to substitute a false grain.-1he

JUDGE MARSHALL RESIGNS.

Probate Judge JOHN A. MARSHALL has
sent his resignation to the President, and
we understand has retired from the Office
pending the acceptance of the resignation
Judge MARSHALL does notdislike the duties
of the office, and it is understood he would
not be averse to continuing in the place;
but as an old federal statute has been dis
covered which forbids him to hold the
Office and at the same time practice his pro
fession, and as he prefers the law to the
probate iudgeship, he surrenders the latter.
There are other probate judges in the terri
tory who are also practicing attorneys and
it is probable that the action above noted
will have its influence on them inducing the
giving up of the Office, or the discontin-
uauce of the law practice.
JUDGE MARSHALL has made very credit
able record during the nine months that
he has held the position, and he retires
with the esteem and confidence of those
with whom he has come into contact Off
cially. We only hope that his successor
will be an equally upright, intelligent
gentleman. The Office is really most i'm
portant, and should be removed absolutely
from politics, though this is not to be hoped
for, especially as it pays handsome salary
and is position Of large influence.

MONTANA IS DEMOCRATIC.

It seems to be pretty well determined, at
last, how Montana voted at the late cleo
ton. Ex-Delegate TooLB, Democrat, got
away with the goveruorship and the Demo
Gratis also elected majority of the legisla-
tors, and several state officers. The Re-
publicans got the Congressman (CARrEE)
and some of the state officials. As a matter
of course, fraud is charged Oh both sides,
but it is lot likely that anything more than
the simple allegation will be heard of the
accusations. The face of the returns will
be accepted as deciding, and Montana will
enter the union as a Democratic state, send
ing two members of that faith to the United
States Senate. One of them should, and
probably will, be that true and capable
statesman, MARTIN MAoINNIs, who, better
than any other man in Montana, is entitled
30 the honor, and in whom the new state
will have faithful Senator.
Taking into account all things the Mon
tana Democrats are to be congratulated
and praised. They entered the contest
against 5000 majority rolled up only last
November. They had the national admin
istration with all its influence to combat,
were opposed by barrels of Republican
money, and had to counterfeit the influence
of several Of the ablest Republican orators
sent out from the east. In spite of the
great odds, however, the Democrats have
won, and have done so honestly. They are
entitled to the plaudits of the party
throughout the nation.

THE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

We don't know that County Superin-
tendent STEWARDS plan for the re-arrange-
ment of the district school system of this
city is the best that can be devised; but we
do know, as does everybody else who is
familiar with the subject, that our system
is not what it should be, and that something
should be done to improve it. There are,
perhaps, enough public schools in the city,
and there are teachers in abundance and
doubtless well qualified. But these are
not all the essentials to a good sys-
TEN. There are things which are
lacking, and which cannot be had under
the present arrangement Then there is
an inequality in the matter of taxation,
which cannot be changed without the in
auguration of another system. In some, if
not in a majority, of the districts, the
schoolhouses are not large enough to &C
| commodate the pupils, and are otherwise
antiquated and announcement. Then, ia
certain districts it is an easy matter for
the taxpayers to build commodious houses
and fully equip them with modern ap-
paratus and appliances, while in other
districts it would almost bankrupt the
people to build schoolhouses which would
meet the requirements. We can name a
ward in the city that can erect and finish a
fifty thousand dollar house at very mod
crate rate of taxation, and we can name
another ward which is building very or
binary structure, though the rate of taxa
ton is such that the majority of the prop
erty are greatly distressed, and
some of them will have to borrow money
to satisfy the collector. There are districts
where the schools are free and the tax per
centage is nominal, and there are other
districts which could not support free
schools without calling in the sheriff to
help dispose of the property.
This is all wrong and should be amended.
1t ought not to be that schools are terribly
burdensome on JOHN SMITH, and are mat
tiers of little or no financial concern to
JOHN BROWN, living just across the street;
nor should it be that JOHN SMITHS chill
dren are deprived of an opportunity to get
education because they happen toreside on
the other side Of the road from BRowN,
whose children possess the advantages of
good schools without cost. We know that
many Of the things complained of as evils
exists, but how best to bring they remedy
is the problem. If Professor Stewards
plan is the one, let US have that; if some
body else has better scheme, let him
bring it out But let US put a stop to this
thing of school system discriminating 30
strikingly among the people of the same
local community

IN facetious mood, the Topeka Capital
refers TO the fact that CLEvELAND's name
was greeted with rapturOus applause by
the members of the New York State Dem
ocratic convention, and says: ''If we are
Egoing to have CLEVELAND set up by the
Democrats in 1892 let's know it. There is no
use preparing for fight when we are TO
have walk-away." Get all your NUM-
tions of war and available forces together

away; you will be too weak to walk after
that fight is over.

MARRIAGE AMONG BRAHMINs.

One evening last week Sir EDWIN
ARNOLD lectured to the professors and
students of Hartford college, his subject
being the philosophy of the Brahmins.
During the course of his talk he made the
remarkable declaration that sin India,
with its POO, 0OO,0 900 inhabitants, there never
occurs marriage of inclination. Yet
there arc more happy marriages in India,
more happy homes, more pure domestic re-
lations than in any other part of the
world" Perhaps no western man is bet
ter qualified for speaking concerning India
than Sir EDWIN, whose long residence in
that country and careful intelligent study
of the people have given him knowledge
which few possess. 1t seems strange
enough to US that the assertions above
onstrated their absolute correctness by the
presentation of facts. The Indian parents
arrange the marriages between their chill
dren, the latter having no say in the mat
ter, and in many instances neither the
bride nor the groom being told the name of
the other until the eve of the wedding.
There is no such thing as counting
as we of the western world understand the
term. The match being made by the
parents and the terms all agreed upon, the
young people are married and started out
to learn whether or not they love each
I'other and if life together is worth living.
Such marriage in this country everybody

THE ST. LOUIS Post Dispatch says: 1.-THE
Mississippi Republicans, after warm con
test, have recognized the negro vote of the
state by nominating a negro for lieutenant
governor. AS there is not the slightest
prospect of an Office rewarding the1iabors
of the campaign the negroes will not need
much time to figure out the worth Of this
recognition" If there had been any prob
ability of success for the Republicans in
Mississippi, the negroes would not have
been contented with the second place on
the ticket; certainly they would not have
given a negro-killer the first one.

the foregoing is from an Ogden paper,

these villages will permit Salt Lake to re-
tain its place upon the map at least.

THERE is one Democratic candidate for
governor in a red-hOt Republican state
whom the latter party ought to watch with
eager and wakeful eyes His name is
HORACE BoIEs and he is running in radi-
cal-ridden Iowa. The state once gave
GRANT $4,000 majority, and it has playful
habit of upsetting the candidates of the
Democracy with anything from that figure
down to just enough to let the old guard
know that they can't get there. But Mr..
BoIEs is very popular and may induce the
lightning to strike in his neighborhood. He
is native Of New York state, and is sixty
two years old. He spent his boyhood on a
farm in Erie county, and later studied law.
He was an active Republican in the early
days of the party, and was Republican
member of the New York legislature in
1851 He was an earnest supporter of the
Union cause during the war. His first
vote for Democratic electoral ticket was
cast last year. He has steadily opposed
constitutional prohibition He has spoken
and writtea on the.questions of transporta-
ton and taxation, Mr.. BoIEs' present oc-
cupation is that Of a farmer. He has 2,64C
acres in cultivation in Grundy county, and
1,l0O acres of grazing land in Palo Alto
county, With 800 head of cattle. =

imagines would be intolerable in nine cases
out of ten, and in the tenth case would be
endured only for policy reasons. And yet
it is true that the marriages of the Brah-
Minis are among the happiest on earth, and
the farthest from failures" There is
real love between husband and wife, and
the purity of their domestic relations is
proverbial.
1t may be argued from this that parents
are the best judges in such matters, know
ing what marriage involves and being more
familiar with the natures and dispositions
of their offspring than the latter are with
themselves. But charmingly as the rule
may work IL India, it can never be inau-
gurated in the western world, where the
fun of counting is esteemed by the average
boy or girl as worth years of misery re
sulting from il-considered marriage.
