The Methodist ministers found subject
that delighted them yesterday, and The meet
ing at one time resembled the lecture room
of a medical college. The social retormers
talked about the relations Of the sexes with

The board Of trade at its meeting yester-
day. resented the idea that has begun to be
prevalent, that they are fOssilated body.
Mai. BasSet seemed to be a small majority
taking the other view Of the matter, but he
was effectually sat upon by the rest Of the
members. Should the rule OF displacement
come into effect that was adopted at the
meeting, it may be that the board OF directors

to discuss live matters before they have been
etfectually settled.
1t was a good many years ago that a wise
man asseverated to the effect that consist
ency is jewel, and no one has seen fit since
to contradict his assertion. But however
priceless q pearl OF purest ray serene this
same consistency is. it is one not numbered
among the gems which belong to woman
kind. In no matter IS this lack OF consist
enCy among the daughters of Eve better
shown than in the discussion of the divorce
question. Women are the most strenuous
directors to the ease with which the matri-
mOnial chains are severed. They look
upon divorce as an outrage upon the
purest feelings that find resting place in the
breast of the human race. They think 1t
brutal. degrading custom. but do not prac-
tice all that they preach. At least i've out or
every six applications for divorce filed III the
court of Hennepin county are from women.
Rarely indeed, are there any petitions Tor
legal separation made by men. Why is it so?
1t may be that. when marital differences
arise the men pick up their personal belong
ings and leave. without botheung with al
vorce. while women desire legal separation
so as to be prepared for another offer of mar
riage: or il may be that wives are better than
husbands and that the men seldom have
reason for divorce; but whatever it be, the
fact remains that the women are the strong
est opponents of divorce, ana yet the most
willing TO seek TO escape from life partner
who is not congenial.

The women of Minneapolis should vote q
testimonial to Rev Thomas McClary for say
ing that deSertion and adultery are the only
