THE SEEDS oF TROUBLE.

The Indianapolis Journal, lately
under the editorial management of Mr..
Halford and controlled by John G.
New, still has mind of its own and
can put things plainly. 1t says of the
rejection Of Mr. Halstead by the Senate;
Another and graver aspect of the case Is
the precedent IL establishes In exercising a
sort of Senatorial censorship Of the press
Mr.. Halstead is rejected for an important Of
iice simply because his newspaper openly
differed with and severely criticised certain
Senators In matter of public policy. This
looks like notice TO editors to be careful how
they criticise Senators, lest they or their
friends may some time be punished as Mr..
Halstead has been. In this view Of the case
IL savors of being blow at the independence
of the press, and we think 1t will be- so re-
garded. The Senate has made mistake, and
sowed the seeds OF trouble.
The seeds of trouble have undoubt-
edly been so wn but the trouble will
not be very serious. A man ortwo will
go Gown as Keifer did and the matters
will go on about as usual

THE OLD PROBLEM.

The New Orleans Times. Democrat,
discussing the now somewhat hackneyed
subject, lis Marriage a Failuref" gives
divorce statistics of curious interest. 1t
appears that the permanency Of mar
riage varies greatly in different States,
and thai, contrary to general belief,
most divorces are not granted in certain
Western States. In the Territory of
Wyoming, where women vote, there is
one divorce to 113 marriages, while in
Illinois there is but one divorce to 271
marriages. In Indiana there is one di-
vorce 10 1862 marriages. and in New
York one divorce to 1,151 marriages.
The lowest proportion of divorces in
States where they are granted at all Is
in Delaware. To put figures in another
form, in Idaho one marriage in ten Is a
failure; in Maine, Rhode Island and
Vermont, one in eight; in Nevada and
Wyoming, one in six, and SO on.
The Times Democrat assumes from
The data collected that serious evil is
threatened and that there should be
more stringent divorce laws, 1t is easy
t0-agrec with this view II II be admitted
that divorces are undesirable. The
fault with those who want the laws
made more strict is that they assume
eff.band, that society is worse because
married people sometimes separate.
Allow their premises, and the reformers
ars all right; but by thinking people,
this allowance will by no means be
made. The legend which attaches to
marriage is of the sweetest and its effect
upon mankind is good, but IT is only o
legend, a matter of public policy, after
all, and circumstances alter cases se-
riously. Why two people who have
erred in wedding should remain
together, miserable and hopeless, when
separated each might be happy and
useful members of society, does not
appear. A business partnership Is
broken promptly when found to be un-
pleasant or Improbable. Why should
not the marriage partnership be dis.
SofVeu rs well IN cases Where only eVll
can come from its continuance
OF course, there Is evil in all extremes.
II will not do to have divorces too
easily secured, the very simplicity of
diyorce.getting thus suggesting its prac-
tice to the discontented, but to assume
that society is worse. because of the
present state of affairs, is absurd. The
judicions granting of divorces has
doubtless prevented many crime and
has increased the aggregate of human
happiness. Not for trivial causes
should legal separation be made
possible--it will not do to disturb the
Foundation of society-but there should
be less sentiment and more common
sense in discussion Of the vexed
question.

omcsr Cnnninrham.s Task.

Officer Cunningham, on duty at the White
House, had task Of lionizing this after
noon which he performed to the satisfac-
tion Of all parties interested. Dash, the
collier dog, who is great pet of Mrs.
Harrison, was thought to have too long
hair, and he was consigned to the tender
mercies Of Cunningham to be clipped. As
result Of the visitation Dash was dancing
around the White House In an abbreviated
hairy costume, but with the full round
collar and tufted tail which will make
him the envy Of all the canine population
of the District Of Columbia. By virtue of
his self-constiiuted position as guardian of
the White House grounds, Dash is much
better known and more liked than his pre-
decessor, the French poodle, Hector.
