THE CONUNDRUM SOLVED.
The Question, Is Marriage n Failuref An
swered by. the OGiciaI Figures Of the
Commissioner of Labor In His Report 10


Congress.
WASHINGTON, February 2O.-Carrol D.
Wright, Commissioner Of Labor, to-day sub
mitted to Congress his special report on the
statistics on the laws relating to marriage and
divorce in the United States, from 1867 to 1886
inclusive.
The statistics of marriage in this report
cover only 66 per cent of all the counties In the
country. The reason of this incompleteness is
that the counties not reported have no record
of marriages.
The statistics relating to divorce, however,
are very complete and cover ever 96 per cent of
all the counties in the country and more than
SO per cent of the population. The whole 1bm-
Der of divorces granted in the United States Is
given by years as follows: In 1867, 9,937; 1858,
TO- l50 1869 TO- 939; 1870 1882; 1871, II 5S6; 1872

FASHIONS IN JEWELRY.

Circular, for July.
The past month has developed moth
ing radically new in jewelry.
All gold jewelry is more fashionable
than previous in some years.
Indications point to the revival OF
all gold necklace pendants, pendants
of which the beauty lies in artistic
shape and fine workmanship.
Sooner or later, as a rule, the fash
ionable world is influenced by what
the French have and wear. Just now
oxidzed silver is to the front in gay

ENGLAND naturally has no love for
Mr.. Patrick Egan and if by any
means possible she could prevent his
being sent to Chill it would be done.
AS Treasurer of the Irish land leagues
in Ireland and in Paris Mr.. Egan nat
urally was obnoxious to the Tory par
ty, but never has the slightest suspi-
ciOn attached to him as other than an
omen. honest, honorable advocate of
Irish liberty in home matters. Moth
ing impeaching his honesty or his
humanity has ever been alleged save
in the most vague and general terms.
Governor Thayer's defence of him,
made public some ten days since, is a
document that will not be easily di-
gested by the agents of the English
Government in Boston who issued
their famous circular protesting
against his going to Chilli. The die
is cast. This government is not re-
calling Mr.. Egan, and the
slanderers who are trying 20
cry down Mr.. Egsn as a
cOnspirator have undertaken a task
which they cannot accomplish. The
Times libel suit has demonstrated
quite clearly to all on this side of the
Atlantic that a most foul conspiracy
had been entered into, with the know
LEDGE of some members of the tory
government, for the purpose OF 3lack,
ening the characters OF Parnell ah ~
the leaders of the irish movement
and that this was being done 10 pre-
vent that party having any nhuence
in parliament or before the country
Mr.. Egpn did good work in uneartn n
ing that conspiracy and he stands vim
Dictated by the outcome of that lnVes'
tfgation from all that can reflect upon
his character as an honorable man

WAIT for the investigation by the
United States government in the
Work case before rushing to a con-
clusiOn that the Mexican authorities
have been guilty of high-handed
outrage. Recent developments and
statements. do not bear out the inn
pressions created by Mrs. Works let
ter and it is not natural that they
should. That letter was the letter of
a wife where husband in a strange
country was under arrest charged
with the murder of citizen of that
country, and who has no doubt been
subjected herself to some indignities
by the class to which the murdered
man belonged. Nothing more natural
than that she should imagine very
many things and laboring under
the most lively apprehenslons for her
husbands safety should have written
as she did. A. w. Clifford, of the
LIGHT company, informs the Globe
Democrat that he has personal
knowledge of the case, Mr.. Work be-
ing associated with him in mining
enterprises, and that Mr.. Work was
not assaulted by a robber but by a
drunken miner; that i'll feeling was
the cause, and that so far from suffer-
ing persecution Mr.. Work is granted
more liberty by the Mexican governor,
Prieto, than he could get in this coun-
try under a similar charge. Mr..
Clifford says that the governor is
Just man and particularly friendly to
Americans, and this is fully in accord
with the representations of Consul
Ornelas of this city.

THE Times of this city falls into line
with the disgruntled democracy else
where and bowls out its pain over the
action of the Ohio republicans in NOM
mating Governor Foraker for third
term. 1t improves the occasion to
offer word of advice to the democra-
CIV of the state as follows:
Toud-Mouthed Foraker was yes
terday renominated by the republi--
cans of Ohio for governor for the third
consecutive term If the Buckeye
democracy haven't the wisdom to
nominate a good man and the strength
to elect him, in the face of such man
ifest injudicious and obnoxious nomi-
nation by the republicans, it should
hold first-class funeral, with Itself
as the corpse, and appoint the nation
al democracy to administer ON its es-
tate.n
If epithets could have killed Fora
ker he would have turned up his toes
to the daisies long ago, but the repub-
lican leader of Ohio is made of sterner
stuff. 1t remains now to be seen
whether the natural desire for change,
the party antagonists created during
two gubernatorial terms, and the
combined weight of democratic
strength in Ohio can crush him.
1t will be an assurance of strength
such as few men in the buckeye state
possess, if Foraker is elected. Ohio re.
publicans have no sure thing OH the
gubernatorial chair or on the legisla-
ture either in an of year and with all
the party jealousy aroused by For
aker's third term nomination 1T will
be very remarkable if he pulls
through. His nomination is the an
swer of his friends to the calumnies
heaped upon him. There is no doubt
of there being large majority of the
republicans of the state in his follow
ing, but that will not elect him. I'm
less the party is solidified in his sup
port he will not get there. This is
the whole question and it is too soon
after the nomination to predicate an
opinion at this distance. The demo-
Gratis certainly have fighting chance
for the governorship if they put for
ward an uneXceptionablec candidate.
Whether they will or not is still an
open question, and after that comes
the fight. If Ohio republicans gain
this election it will be folly to count
that state in the ranks Of the doubt
ful states hereafter.

SAN ANTONIO is experiencing a
kind of weather that will tax her
sanitary resources to the utmost. The
most rigid inspection of the streets,
Alleys, yards, vaults, stables, closets,
Kitchens, etc., and every other place
in which filth can possibly accum-
ulate, is imperatively demanded.
Cleanliness is next to godl!ness and
in this climate with these damp mug
gy days it would do no material
damage to put cleanliness just little
ahead. Prayers are good, and this city
wants one loud prayer for cleanliness
supplemented by the most strenuous
works of city and citizens. This is a
case in which the faith cure wont
work. Faith here without works is
dead being alone. San Antonio is by
no means as badly off sanitarily as
Houston where, the Post says, for
bearance in sanitary matters has
ceased to be a virtue, but San Anto-
Mo could very sensibly increase her
sanitary measures and not Overstrain
her municipal puckering strings.

The news comes mp from the south
west that Gen. Baker, of Blue Earth, is
not only an active candidate for railroad
commissioner, but is also posing as a
hopeful dark horse in the senatorial
fight, and is expecting a complimentary
vote from the Blue Earth representa-
tives. 1t might be said in the language
Of the day that Blue Earth county wants
the earth. There are two candidates for
railroad commissioner within her bor-
ders, and III. c. Howard is hopeful
candidate for dairy commissioner. One
of the former, Mr.. f. N. Merrill, mag
unanimously has offered Gov. Merriam to
withdraw his name from consideration
if it will relieve the Governor from any
embarrassment. In this connection a
well-known gentleman remarked yester-
day. at will probably end in Blue Earth
getting nothing. ~ Pioneer Press.
In regard to Gen. Baker we know
nothing, but so Jar as Mr.. Merrill
is concerned, who returned home from
st. Paul to-day, we are authorized to
state that there is no truth in the re-
mark that he has offered to withdraw
his name in favor of Mr.. Howard or any
one else. 1t may be that "Blue Earth
county will get nothing" but it is just as
we'll to stick to the 'ruth-a thing quite
strange to the Pioneer Press.
