THERE are indications of approaching
trouble for American boodlers and refu-
gees from justice in Canada. Under the
Canadian Constitution any act of the
provincial Parliament may be vetoed by
the imperial government within two
years after its passage.diIn order to as
certain the attitude of the home gov
ernment towards the Weldon extradition
act, passed at the last session of the
Canadian Parliament, it has been sent
to London for concurrence or otherwise.
If approved, as it is almost sure to be,
it will be carried into effect Immediately,
and will make nearly all the American
boodlers now in Canada subject to sur
render. The Canadian authorities, in
citing reasons why the act was passed
and should be enforced, say: ""The enor-
nous increase of commerce in the United
States has brought with it a correspond
ing increase of commercial crime, and
in the principal Canadian cities and
towns are now to be found fugitives
from United States law whose presence
exerts a vicious influence upon Canadian
citizens with whom they associate" 1t
is not very gratifying to American pride
to have the communicating presence of
our rascals in Canada cited as reason
for purgative legislation.

The subject of desertions from the
army, their cause and cure, has elected
expressions from several officers. Now
comes a private soldier who says they
are largely due to the domineering man
ners of young officers and the habitual
drunkenness and consequent injustice
and cruelty of older ones. He says many
of the young officers are petty tyrants,
while the habitually drunken ones are
cruelty unjust to private soldiers. There
are a great many secrets and military
skeletons in the army that the public
knows nothing about.

most profound conviction of duty, do

Shortly after this Christian scientific
separation, without the aid of the law,
Mr.. Worthington and Mrs. Plunkett en-
tered into Christian scientific marriage
without the aid of minister. Having
invited number of friends and follow
ers to witness the ceremony, and having
explained that it was part of the unalter-
able plan of the universe that they
should come together, they each repeat
ed formula prepared for the occasion
and pronounced themselves husband
and wife. Mr.. Plunkett has not yet
married again, and he said to a reporter,

his late wife by her new name) has hurt
herself as leader and a teacher of
the spiritual. We who are teachers
ought to hold ourselves free from every
thing wrong" He will go abroad to
practice Christian science, and Mrs.
Plunkett- Worthington Will continue to
practice it in this country.

A CHRISTIAN SCIENCE DIVORCE.

The doctrine of Christian science-or,
if the thing SO called is too vague and
nebulous to be styled a doctrine, we will
say the practice of Christian science
will not be elevated in the estimation of
right-thinking people by the recent
course of two of its leading practition-
ers. The persons referred to are Mr..
John G.. Plunkett and his wife, Mary H.
Plunkett, late publishers of the "Inter-
national Magazine of Christian Science"
and practical teachers of the art in New
York. For some time past they have
been regarded as standing very near the
fountain-head of inspiration, and have
been looked up to by a considerable
body of followers as the ablest exponents
of the new science. But it seems their
Christian science has not prevented
them from doing very unseemly thing.
They have divorced themselves. They
had been married quite a number of
years, and are both near middle life
old enough to have Outgrown the fOllies
of youth and to have attained some
thing of the wisdom of age. But
Christian science has not saved
them from doing what most mar
ried people, ignorant of its teachings,
would hesitate to attempt, viz, divorc-
ing themselves without the aid of the
law. The other man in the case besides
MIR. Plunkett is Mr.. .WorthingtOn, who,
from being a pupil of the two practi-
tioners, became SO fond of Mrs. Punk
ett, and she of him, that quiet and dig
nified dissolution of the Plunkett rela-
ton was deemed advisable. By mutual
consent, therefore, Mr.. and Mrs. Punk
EFT signed the following paper:
We, the undersigned, having dedicated our
lives to the service of The Good and de-
termined to speak act, and live in accord
ance with it, do declare, both to you who
faithfully serve and to you who earnestly
seek the truth as follows:
For many years we have recognized that
the affection between us was purely fra
ternal, and we have lived and worked to-

CHIEF ARTHUR's declaration that un-
der no circumstances will he ever favor
another strike of engineers is causing
considerable comment in the Brother
hood. The indications are that he will
be sustained by the older and more con-
servative members and opposed by the
young hot-heads. An Eastern engineer,
who stands high up in the order, says
Arthur's position is that of conservative
men in the East, and that, on the general
principle of his declaration, he will be
supported by majority of the engineers
in the Eastern, Middle and some of the
Southern States. The hot-heads will
doubtless try to elect chief next Octo-
Der, at Denver, who is more in accord
with their ideas.

and the New York Sun accept the kindly
Offices of the Journal as mediator?
Something must be done, and that very
soon, or the ardent desires of Congress
man Randall will never be realized
they will never get together, much less
dwell together in unity, as the Scriptures
say is pleasant. Thus, the Courier
Journal says: "We do not know what
Democrats were so extreme as to advO-
cate free trade" Whereupon the Sun
enlightens the CD. as follows: Every
Democrat voted for free trade who sup
ported Grover Cleveland in 1885," The
Sun goes on to name some of them
Henry Watterson, Samuel j. Randall,
and so on. This looks like poor begin
ming towards getting together. The
Journal could make some valuable sug-
gestions, but it will not until assured
that its suggestions would be received
in the spirit of brotherly kindness in
which they would be offered. 1t has no
notion of meeting with the fate of the
foolish man who cast pearls before a
certain animal and got badly treated for
his attempted kindness.

THE PEOPLES GENEROSITY.

The Conemaugh disaster furnishes a
new illustration of American generosity.
There have been other historic instances
of it, notably the great Chicago fire, the
yellow fever in the South, the Charleston
earthquake, the Ohio river floods, and
many less important ones. In every in
stance the people have responded
promptly, generously and nobly. They
are doing so now. Their sympathy is
quick to respond, and their charity is
equal to every demand upon it. 1t is
not an evidence of extravaganza or reck
lessness in giving, but of genuine good
feeling and deep-lying sentiment of
brotherhood, creditable to humanity and
ennObling to its pOssessors.
Perhaps this generosity of the people
is partly due to their self-reliance and
habit of depending on individual action
in great emergencies. In other cOun-
tries the people, in cases of great calam-
tiles, depend for assistance and relief
on the government. Here they depend
on themselves. In Europe governments
can and do act more promptly than the
people. Here the case is reversed.
In the great race of benevolence that
has been going on during the last week,
this city has done as well, in proportion,
as any other. In money and supplies, it
has contributed, through various
agencies and channels, about $4,000,
and will do something more yet. Indi-
annapolis is not a wealthy city, and this
amount is fully equal in proportion to
that of larger and wcalthier cities. Her
people have done we'll. They always do.
THE enumeration of voters in Center
township shows 20,532 of American
birth, against total of 1868 of all
foreign natiOnalities. A majority of
two to one in favor of native-born voters
shows that the American element still
predominates. Of foreign voters the
Germans Outnumber the Irish nearly
three to one, and both have decreased in
numbers since the last enumeration, ia
1888, the Germans from 5,244 to 5,159,
and the Irish from 2,O43 to 1877. This
may be due in part to the fact that the
immigration from Germany and Ireland
was less last year than it was in 1882
and 1883, and partly to the fact that the
bulk of the foreign immigration now
goes further West and Northwest. The
immigration from Germany in 1882 was
25O, $3.50; in 1883 it was 1914, ,7S6, while in
1888 it fell off to 1O9,17. immigration
from Ireland was rs, ,432 in 1882, against
S1,4S6 in 1888, and 1858 in 1888. 1t is
probable that each successive enumera-
tiOn hereafter in this city and State will
show relative increase of nativeborn
over fOreign-born voters. Foreign
immigration is not likely to increase in
the future, and as the sons of those who
have immigrated in past years come to
manhood they will help swell the list OF
native voters.
