PLAIN ENOUGH.

Today the TRIBUNE lays bare a scheme
OF the Third party boilers. The backbone
OF this party is composed OF capitalists
who have other ends in view than the
mere placing in office a man like Mr..
Sherman. They have personal ends. This
is what We have always said and the new
turn OF affairs shows our reasoning to
have been correct. The vote that the
Third party is polling is not Sherman
vote. The capitalists would just as soon
give their money and support to an idiot,
provided he would do their bidding. The
City Council is threatening their position
but they would be safe with the veto
power in the hands Of man who would
be their tool.
Seeing now that there is no possibility
Of winning their scheme is to prevail
upon the Board Of Aldermen to refuse any
more elections. In that event, in case the
law did not allow Mayor Goodwin to hold
over, they count on making Ben Davis
President OF the Board and therefore
Chief Executive.
The people will knock this scheme in
the head at the next election.

DECENT JOURNALISM.

The scurrilous political articles OF the
Times are disgusting the decent people Of
this city, and Mr.. David o. Black will
make good investment by hiring
another editor. We cannot believe that
Mr.. Black can look on with complacency
at the ribald matter which appears in his
paper. His best men have got other situa-
tions and he will soon be left with no one
but his discredited representative.
The TRIBUNE does not desire to injure
any paper or the publisher OF any paper,
neither does it wish TO injure itself. But
there is a certain decency which all papers
should have, and we are sorry to say thai
our contemporary has not got it.

STOP

Uncle Sam should take hold OF those
obstreperous chaps in Chilli and Brazil and
stop their eternal brawling. No decent
citizen can awake in the morning without
hearing that some excitable generalissimo
has broken loose and started another
revolution. This thing is getting monot-
onons. Let Is stop ii!

his is 100 MUCH.

Political accusations can sometimes go
too far. The Democratic candidate has
been accused OF everything from the kill
ing OF Cronin TO disguised intimacy with
Patsy McNeal. But when people circulate
the story that he is a member OF the
"Never Say Die Base Ball Club" We must
protest. The Democratic party OF this
city does not wish TO lose the friendship
OF the "Quicksteps." It's a campaign

Smith and his wife have every luxury

are fond Of children, but no little voices

the Richelieu river to the st. Lawrence,
to terminate about the village of Caughna-
waga. The cost of such a canal, about
thirty-three miles in length, from the st.
Lawrence to St. Johns, would be about
100000. The Champlain canal, from
Whitehall to the Hudson, would have to
be enlarged to the dimensions of a ship
canal. The total cost of this northern
water route from the Mississippi
river to New York city, would not
exceed $4,000 900. The enlargement
of the Welland canal now permits
vessels of 1000 tons to pass from western
lake ports down the lakes and the st.
Lawrence to the sea. but New York city
capitalists could well afford to build this
connecting link between Lake Champlain
and st. Lawrence and Lake Champlain
and the Hudson, if the Dominion was part
of the United States.
The chief reason why there is today no
all water route from the lakes to New
York city is because all of these proposed
routes would include an important link
that lies altogether within Canada. The
Welland canal. indispensable to all these
schemes. is entirely within Canada as
would be the Caughnawaga canal. The
debt of the Dominion is enormous, but the
United States could well afford to assume
1t for the sake of an absolute, permanent
control of the Welland canal and the pro-
posed ship canal connection of Lake
Champlain with the St. Lawrence.

A NOTABLE DIVORCE DECISION.

The courts of South Carolina recently
refused TO recognize the validity of q
divorce granted to citizen of that state
temporarily residing in another state. and
declare the children of marriage made
subsequent to this foreign divorce, illegiti-
mate and unable to inherit any part Of
their fathers estate in South Carolina.
The South Carolina law does not recog-
nize divorce for any cause, SO, Thomas M.
Peoples went from South Carolina to
Florida, leaving his wife in South Caro-
lima, and in the Florida courts petitioned
for and obtained a divorce, the wife not
appearing and ignoring the service Of the
notice from the Florida court. Peoples
afterwards married, then with his new
wife returned to South Carolina, where he
lived some years with her, rearing family
of children; finally he died, and on the
probate of his estates the question was
raised which Judge lizard, Of the supreme
court, has just decided.
The divorce procured by Peoples Is pro-
cured every day in any state with liberal
divorce laws and the validity Of subse-
quenr marriages is recognized in every
state in the Union, with the exception Of
South Carolina, which state seems dis
posed to treat with utter indifference or
contempt article 4. section l, of the con-
stitution of the United States, which re-
quires that each state shall give "full
faith and credit to the public acts, records
and judicial proceedings of every other
state" The effect of absolute prohibition
of divorce for any cause in South Carolina
has been to make the children of the
Florida marriage illegitimate and their
mother a concubine in South Carolina,
and rob both children and their
mother of the fathers property.
The effect Of such a decision If generally
followed throughout the Union among the
thousands of persons married under the
same circumstances would be to create
social upheaval that no court could quiet.
From practical point of view the South
Carolina decision is about as stupid as her
act of secession, although of course fraught
with comparatively trivial mischief 1t
certainly can't do any good, and 1t is
likely as in the present case to cause good
deal of needless suffering without any pub
lie compensation.

THE CHARIOT RACE.

They took their stand where the appointed
judges
Had cast their lots, and ranged their rival cars;
Rang out the brazen triumph Away they bound,
Cheer the hot steeds and shake the darkening
As with body the large space is filed
With the huge clangor Of the rattling cars;
High whirl aloft the dustclouds; blent TO-
Each presses each-and the lash rings-and loud
Snort the wild steeds, and from their fiery
breath,
Along the names and down the circling wheels,
Scatter the Taking foam. Orestes still,
Ay, as he swept around the perilous pillar
The left rein curbed-that on the outer hand
Flung loose. SO on erect the chariots rolledl
Sudden the Gnian's fierce and headlong steeds
Broke from the bit. and, as the seventh time
The course was circled, on the Lybian car
Dashed their wild fronts; then order changed to
Car dashed on car-the wide Criss@an plain
Was, sea-like, strswn with wrecks; the Atheni.
saw,
slackened his speed. and. wheeling round the
msrge,
Unscathed and skilful, in the wildmost space.
Left the wild tumult of that tossing storm.
Behind, Orestes, hitherto the last,
Had yet kept back his coureers for the cloSa:
Now, one sole rival left, on, On he few,
And the sharp sound of the impelling scourSe
Rang in the keen ears of the flying steeds.
He nears-he reaches-they are side by side,
Now one-now tn other-by a length the victor
The courses all are past-the wheels erect
All safe-when, as the hurrying coursers round
The fatal pillar dash'd, the wretched boy
Slaekened the left rein; on the columns edge
Crash'd the trail axle-headlong from the car
Caught and all meshed within the reins he fell:
And masterless, the mad steeds ragged alongi
Loud from that mighty multitude arose
shriek-a shout But yesterday such deeds
Today such dooml Now whirled upon the
earth,
Now his limbs dashed aloft, they dragged HIM
those
Wild horses-till, all CORY. from the wheels
Reieased-and no man, nor his nearest friends,
Could in that mangled corpse have traced
OresteS.
