Due to Natural Gas,
he Pittsburg Dispatch.


1t has been suggested that the hum
drum Of woman's domestic duties makes
her dissatisfied, and that either divorce
or clopement frequently appears to her
tempting mirage, to follow which she
at times becomes powcrless to resist.
but Harry Armstrong, of Common Pleas
Court No. 2, says that the increase in
divorces in this country is attributable
to the very general use of natural gas
for fuel. He says that since its use has
become common. women have not been
sufficiently occupied to prevent their
minds from becoming discased-housc-
keeping does itself, and unless women
have mental resources Satan finds en-
ployment for their idle hands to do. and
discomfort breeds domestic rupture.

North Dakota appears to have had very
narrow escape. The lottery scheme was by
no means mere devise ON the part of legis-
lators to fill an empty treasury. but deep
laid plot on the part of outsiders who made
the Senators their tools. The plan was
thing less than to provide new home for
the Louisiana lottery concern when it should
be driven out of Louisiana, as its friends
fear it soon will be. The conspirators began
their DENOMINATIONS ssiQre North Dakota was
44.asiitted, and through t6etF- influence pro-
vision which it was proposed to put into the
constitution, prohibiting forever the legaliz-
ing of lottery by the State, was defeated.
Money is said to have been freely used to
bride legislators in behalf of the scheme,
AID all sorts Of intimidatons were
brought to bear on them. The Governor,
who was known to be opposed to the bill,
and had threatened to veto it. was Informed
indirectly that package of $4,000 in green
backs awaited him If he would sign the bill.
Then he was given TO understand that a
goodly share of stock in big banking house
was at his disposal in case he signed the bill.
inducements quite as large were held out to
some OF the men who voted against the bill
If they would withdraw their opposition.
The Governor stood firm, however, and his
attitude probably had more to do with the
final overthrow Of the bill than any other
influence,

The Tories managed to defeat Sir Vernon
Harcourt's resolution declaring that the
publication of the Piggott letters by the
London Times YVES breach of prvilefe
inasmuch as it was intended to influence the
vote on the coercion bill. Their majority,
however, was so small as to show that their
grip on the House of Commons is not very
strong. The fact is that good many of the
Observation-Disclosures are not entirely satisfied
with their alliance with Tories, and are not
averse to letting them know it. A pro-
gramme toward Ireland, such as the govern
ment was committed to a few years age, would
now undoubtedly smash the alliance and
leave the government stranded. Evidently
the government feels this. inasmuch as its
programme, as mapped out in the Queens
speech, is full Of concessions which cannot
be palatable to the genuine Tory, and are
only put up with because they are necessary
to enable the party to retain power, which
the average Tory loves more than con-
sistency.

mr.. cieyerana assalIed.

Undoubtedly the Democratic drift is
strongly toward Mr.. Cleveland as their next
Presidential candidate, and If the convention
were to be held tomorrow there would be
probably no serious opposition to his renom-
iuation. Though it has been the fashion to
regard Mr.. Cleveland as bold, outspoken
man. unskilled in the arts Of the politician.
his public appearances, and his public utter
ances, since his defeat, have all tended to
keep him prominent before his party. He
has avoided on the one hand the appearance
of bidding for the next Democratic nomina-
ton, while on the other he has not gone far
enough in his protestations that be
did not want 1t to convince the De-
mocracy that he would not take IL.
While Hill has greatly injured his own
chances for the nomination, by making il
exceedingly apparent that he wants it. Mr.
Cleveland has made no such mistake. and
partly on this accounts today far in advance
of his most active competitor.
Yet occasionally there crop out signs of a
very bitter, if not very widespread, opposi-
ton to making the defeated candidate of 1888
the leader in 1892, that indicates that Mr..
Cleveland is not to be allowed to carry off the
prize without at least very strong protest
from the minority. One of the strongest
manifestations of this kind is contained in
recent deliverance of Democratic paper
published in Washington, wherein Mr..
Cleveland is handled without gloves. Hard
ly day." says this paper, "has passed since
Mr.. Cleveland was constrained to leave the
White House, that he has not worked and
intrigued for a third term" He is accused
of prostituting his whole administration to
the end of getting second nomination for
himself, in spite of the fact that in his first
letter of acceptance he had square COM
mitted himself to the one term principle and
practically pledged himself to live up to it.
He is charged with arrogantly assuming that
he il the only Democrat fit to lead the party
in 1892, and the decentralization and defeat of
the Democracy In 1888 are laid at his door, and
attributed to his ''despotic course in discard
ing the counsel of the most accepted leaders
of the Democrats, in belittling his cabinet as
clerks, in counting favor of the Mugwumps,
and In asserting his superiority over all in
fuences," an arraignment bitter and even
malignant. yet by no means devoid Of truth.
But the most interesting part Of this spirit
ed attack on Mr.. Cleveland is its demonstra-
ton by facts and figures of his unpopularity
with the Democratic masses, and the proba-
BILE effect upon the party in 1892 If he be-
comes the leader. This is the language of the
paper:
-Four new States will be admitted tt the electo
raj colleges ia 1892, with three of them on The
Republican side aud Montana disputed Connec-
lieut. Indiana, New York. Virginia and West
Virginia voted for Mr.. Cleveland in 1884 clue
faHily. Let us see how these States stood IN
1883 in order to test his standing. and to meas
mr. fi,e nrobabilities In n ird trial.

Two years imprisonment is a pretty severe
punishment for the indiscreton of which the
Duke of Orleans was guilty in entering
Paris. Had his presence been part of a
plot for royalist uprising nobody could
have reasonably complained of his punish
ment. But there appears to be no reason for
supposing that any such plot existed or that
the Dukes entry into Paris was at its worst
anything more than foolish act of bravado.
Under the circumstances the republic would
reap quite as much glory and as much protec-
ton for the future against royalst plots by
letting him 60 with an admpnition to ke.p
out of France in the failure as by locking him
