\ Pre-, tntiyc for Divorce.

Edward }. Phelps, cx-Ministcr to
England and lecturer on law at
Yale, has turned his attention to the
subject OF divorce in the United
States, with IN effort to discover a
practical means of lcssrning the evil.
How great that evil is, may be seen
at Il glance from the fact that during
the last twenty years more than 500,-
600 divorces have been granted,
whereas, during the preceding
twenty years, only y Il few more than
$4,000 were granted This rapid
increase is the main fact which has
directed the attention both of social
and legal rcformcrS to the subject.
Mr.. Phelps treats i, from practical,
legal point OF view, and considers
the means whereby the law may be
used rs Il preventive.
y uniform divorce law in all the
States he regards us impossible ever
to obtain, and his view of the Fed
cral Constitution is that i, would be
Illegal for the United States TO enact
a law ON this subject, this being Il
matter which falls within State iuris-
dlction. Tie addresses himself,
therefore, to state laws; and, after
discussion of the main features of all
these laws, reaches the conclusion
that the remedy will be- found in Il
prohibition OF marriage by either di-
vorccd party SO long as the other
IircS. ne shows historically that i,
IS the liberty TO marry again that has
caused such I'M increase in divorces,
and he concludes that it is the desire
Tor another marriage alliance that is
the main cause OF most separations
between husbands and wives. III The

L~enahan's.
To the Editor of the Jersey City NeaDs:-
In reading your valuable paper of this
date l was astonished, to a the least, at
the appearance of my name as chairman
of ''The Kickers,'' or Billy Kern's New
Committee, at kessler's Hall, in the Fifth
district.
1t is apparent that your reporter was
misinformed of the name of the gentle
man who presided. The name is, as l
understand. John j.. Lenahan, and not
your humble servant. So far as being
capable of presiding at that meeting or
any other, the various organizations to
which | belong and which have repeatedly
elected me their chairman will enlighten
your reporter as to my ability to preside
at any such meeting. However, / beg
also to state while the question is at issue
that | have not attended any or the
meetings of this New County Committee
nor am in sympathy with the movement
in any way, shape or form; neither do L
seek any cfiice whatsoever.
The fact of the matter is that l moved
out of the Second Aldermanic district into
the First to avoid being nominated for
office. The Second district conferred the
honor of electing me by Loco majority to
the Honorable Board of Education in 1885,
and also to the Honorable Board OF Alder
men in 1881, but | was counted out, Which
is now commonly known. l am in favor
of the new charter, and helped to pass it,
and am anxious to see it given a fair trial
before | join any reform movement, and
ii then, after a trial, it does not meet the
wants OF the city, am eager to ally my
self with any movement that will place
our CITY where she rightfully belongs, as
far as government is concerned, the ban
ner city of New Jersey. Also such a
movement will have to come within the
Democratic ranks and not outside of it.
If the democratic citizens in general took
active interest ut the primaries there
would be no need of reform meetings or
movements.
Thanking you for giving this letter as
prominent a space in your next issue as
YOU did in your last, l am,
Yours respectfully,

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1889-08-24

The suggestion of the Newark
journal that Boss Sewell should be
nominated by the Republican party
for the Governorship is altogether adj
mirable. 1t would make a beautiful
campaign, and the result would show
just precisely where the people OF the
State stand on the elements which go
to make up the Republican platform.
Whether they want a railway poll
tician to rule their destinies, whether
they want the Federal Government to
dictate legislation for them, whether
they want narrow minded impossibil1-
ties instead of wholesome, enforceable
laws, whether they want the entering
wedge for heavy direct taxation driven
into their pockets-these are some OF
the questions that would be settled
forever if General Sewell would cour-
ageously take the field himself against
Leon Albeit.
But no such thing will happen.
General Sewell much prefers to have
what the Journal aptly calls a marion
cite candidate defeated to mourning
the obloquy of disaster himself. He
will continue to sit safely at home in
Camden and pull the wires, while
poor little Griggs, or Kean, or Fish, or
McGowan, or some other dummy,
faces the music and the disaster
of the campaign. 1t is a pity.
The campaign would be
much more amusing if the General
himself would fight, but that is the
way of Republicanism, the bosses let
others take the risk and only look out
for the profits themselves. As in this
case there is much risk and no profit,
the boss will keep very much in the
background indeed.

The Autocratic Chef.

The ~autocrat of the seaside resort is
not the man with his millions, but the
hotel cook. The clerk in the office
may imagine that he own most of the
earth, and the head waiter may feel
that he has a warranty deed of the re-
mainder, but when you come right
down to facts the boss ofthe kitchen is
the boss of the ranch. He is the I'M
seen power behind the throne to which
all bow.
At our hotel the soup had invari-
ably been seasoned so high with cay
enne pepper that not one out of ten
could more than taste it. The same
was true of the deviled claims. One
day / made a kick and in five minutes
| had half a dozen guests with me.
We interviewed the landlord and his
reply was
81 have nothing to say about it.
You must go to the chief cook"
We sought an interview with that
magnate. He was a colored man, with
the dignity of q Roman Senator. We
made our complaint, and he REPLIED
81 season dat soup an dem CLAIMS to
suit my taste
sBut it doesn't suit ours"
"Can't help dat, sah.n
I'VE want less pepper"
Cant help dat"
"Do you refuse to make a changer
81 sartinly do, sab. l lows nobody
to tell me what to do"
We returned to the veranda and
went into convention. Every minute
added to our numerical strength, and
in a quarter of an hour we numbered
forty men. Then it was unanimously
Resolved, That if the cook refuses
to use less pepper we seek some other
HOTEL
Delegates were appointed to wait
on the landlord, and he replied:-
"Gentlemen, | am sorry, but | dare
not interfere"
Forty rooms were vacated, forty
trunks packed, and then mine host
wilted. He called n the cook, and
though that individual attempted to
| stand on his dignity, he had to wilt.
BY this time the excitement vas in
tense. and had the forty gone they
would have been followed by a hun
bred more. LESS peppers was. the
watchword all over the house, and it
meant a great deal to that landlord.
We kicked, we saw, we conquered,
and the next soup and CLAIMS exactly
suited the popular taste. The cook is
still the unsee power behind the
throne, but he has skipped a cog, and
no one is afraid of him any longer

The Democratic County Committee
Arranges Its Primaries.
The Democratic General County Com
mittee met last evening at its head
quarters, No. 80 Grove street. Septem-
Der 3, from seven to nine p. M, was fixed
as the time for holding the primaries for
the election of delegates to the State
Convention. On the evening of Septem-
Der 5 the committee win meet at it head
quarters to listen to protests.
THE delegates elected at the primaries
will hold a caucus on September 9 and
complete an organization before leaving
for Trenton. The reason for this is that
it has always been found difficult to OBJ
tain a suitable place for holding a caucus
in Trenton on the morning before the
convention meets.
There is no opposition to the nomina-
ton of Ex-Governor Albeit, and he will
receive the support of the full Hudson
