THE Rev. DR. Collier goes TO the root o I
the evil Of divorce. lie says II cannot DO
controlled by natural law, but in our
homes, where we should "teach the
young that marriage is a Divine insttu-
ton. Make the new generation take note
OF this, that while they follow their hearts
they should follow their heads also in mar
riage. believe in love at first sight not
in marriage at first sight. There should
be honesty and sincerity as well rs sweet
aud pure intimacy. We must teach and
you must learn, young friends, that the
truest and best welded life can bloom only
out Of the best and purest unwcdded life.
The remedy lies not in any doctrine OF go
as.you-please, nor finally in the enact
ments OF the law, which cannot reach the
root and heart Of the evil; nor does II lie in
the church, but with you and inc and
yours and mine, aud in this shall we be
pioneers. Only to the pure are all things
pure. Only TO the true loving heart are
all things possible. All true love is blent
with reverence as heavenly light is blent

COMMISSIONER PETIT, in an inyeryiew
with a reporter of Tbs Scimitdr yesterday,
stated that the Commissioners in fixing
the tax budget rate were moved bya strong
sense Of the imperative needs OF the city.
TnE ArrEAL is very sure Of this; but Mr..
Petit, in the course OF the interview, says
that at one time he had stated that it
might have been well II the Commission
ems had fixed maximum rate. We can
scarcely believe that Mr.. Petit has been
correctly reported. To have fixed a max
imum rate would have implied that the
Commissioners would be willing to ac-
cept something less than $500. The Com
missioner estimates would, therefore,
not have been worth the paper they were
written upon. II the Commissioners had
fixed maximum rate the Legislature
could not determine what the Commits
sioners think is necessary To run the city.
But IS fix n minimum rate is 10 advise the
Legislature Just what is necessary. In
other words, to have fixed maximum
rate would have given tho opponents Of
the budget all the opportunity they could
have desired TO mako light for the old
rate.

HARRISON AND BLAINE.

A Clear and Indisputable Case OF "Llke
Master, Like Man"
There seems to be no longer doubt
in any quarter that Mr. Blaine is to be
Secretary of State. 1t is entirely safe
to say, however, that he has not
friend in the administration household.
Mr.. Blaine will not become member
of the Cabinet because he is liked by
tho President-elect The "plumed
knigm'' and his friends assert that he'
more than any of the rest of the party
is entitled to the first place in the Cab
inet-and he is. General Harrison
could not have been nominated with
out the Blaine influence. With few
exceptions the corporation representa-
tiyes. the cormorants and boodlers
were Blaine men, and they dominated
the convention. General Harrison
knows this. Why, then. should he
have hesitated about gratifying
Blaine's present ambition?
1t is idle for Harrison to pose as a
man OF SpeCldl lhIeSiiy ~

utterance in Grand Army post II

known that the workers of his party
in Indiana submitted all their plans
to him, and that he largely directe

history OF the country has it been
suspected that son OF Presi-
dential candidate and a member OF
his fathers household had been en-
gagged in such despicable business. 1t
is true that on his return to Indian
apolis, in an interview with the rep
resentative OF Chicago newspaper,
the son denied the charge; but there
are many here who do not believe he
told the truth. Some Of the Chicago
men who were said to have given S..
600 each are we'll known. The sons
denial is doubtless entitled to as much
credit as the fathers protestation in
favor of an honest ballot.
And again, knowing Dudley's char
acter and methods, General Harrison
caused him to be placed on the Execu-
tive Committee of the Republican Ma
tional Committee as his friend and
representative. Did he do this be-
cause he desired to be elected honor

these efforts were in vain. Dudley
was protected because he is Genera
