census of opinion in Bismarck, now
putting on airs as a state capital,
that a man can kiss his wife whenever
he pleases, SO long as he doesn t kiss
any other mans wife. This is the
limit OF liberalism, and shows the
freedom from conventional restraints
that abounds on the tar western
prairies.
SO far as Philadelphia is concerned,
this is not likely to become burn
ing issue. Philadelphians are not
over given to kissing their wives I'M
der any circumstances, and few in
stances Of it in public are ever wit
messed. A man may kiss his wife
whenever he wants to and she will
let him, but he is not likely to do
SO under circumstances which will
be embarrassing to either party or
distressing to the public.

TORONTO. OHt., March n.--Sir Richard
Cartwright, the Liberal leader, has issued an
address to his constituents, in. South Oxford,
in which he says:
For the first time since 1874, we have
gained the two central provinces of this do
minnon. and we have gained them on a
clear and distinct issue in the teeth of an
absolutely unlimited expenditure of money
and OF every other engine of corruption
which reckless and utterly INSCRIPTIONS
administration was able to bring to bear.
Our opponents array, on the other hand,
is most literally a thing of shreds and
patches made up OF ragged remnants from
half dozen minor provinces, a great ma,
jority of whom do not even pretend to be
actuated by any principle save that of Sc
surfing slice OF booty for themselves and
the sections or constituencies they respect
lively represent.
Not even SirJohn Macdonald's most alb
lect worshipers can fail TO see that he has
blundered terribly in many ways, and most
OF all in his dealings with the United States.
and that he has led his followers into cut
de sac out of which there is no escape save
through such Il series of pititul and proba-
bly, useless humiliatiOns as even his lust for
place and power at all hazards and at any
sacrifices can scarcely tempt him to uu-
dergo. For ourselves, strong in our own
convictions and fortified by the verdict of
the two chief provinces of the dominion,
our course is clear. We propose to pursue.
without wavering the line of policy
marked out in successive debates and resolll-
tons already thrice recorded in parliament
on the question of free trade with the rest
Of this continent.
I am making no idle boast when
pledge that [ will not cease my opposition.
III season or out Of season, till we have sue
ceeded in freeing our country troni the
shackles which the folly and Ignorance Of
a portion of her citizens have imposed upon
us. For my own part, see very strong
reason for believing that the end is near,
ing, nothing can prevent the success OF the
Liberal party save only dissension in its
own ranks, OF which, as matters now stand,

Wife-kissing in Various Cities.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


Kansas City is all torn up over the
question whether a man may kiss his
wife in public, and, if so, under Just
what circumstances. It appears
that a prominent physician of that
city kissed his wife at the theater,
and the manager, fearing the infu-
ence OF such an example, had him
taken out of the building by apolice-
man. AS a result the whole subject
has come up as one of Vital impor-
tance, and there is great uncertainty
as to the decision.
Public opinion in Kansas City seems
to vindicate the manager of the the
alter in his action, but insists that it
must not be carried too far. 1t is
held that there are certain circum-
stances under which q man may kiss
his wife in public, but the line has
not yet been drawn. The subject
has excited the attention of other
cities, which freely offer Kansas City
advice as to the proper limit
Chicagoans think man may kiss
his wife in d railway car without
overstepping the proprieties, but
should not kiss her when parting at
putting her on q street car. In Den
yer this is considered a very narrow
limitation, although it is agreed that
it must not be done in the theatre.
In that city public sentiment sustains
a man in kissing his wife anywhere
except at church, the theatre or in a,
store. There is no limit placed on
the exercise OF this conjugal practice
on the street.
ST. Paul, however, looks unkindly
on the whole matter 1t objects to a
mar kissing his wife anywhere in pub
lie, with the possible exception of the
frcnt door step fit is growing dusk.

its legs about one each. Never strike cat

SENATOR sHBRMAN'6 VIEWS.

No man in the United States is better
qualified to estimate the effects of cleo
ton results upon the complexion of ma
tional politics in the future. The SEN
ator says that the question Of honest
money will occupy as conspicuous
place in the contest of '92 as the tariff
question; that the question of an honest
dollar is as important to the people, par
ticularlv to the industrial classes, as is
the question of protection to home IN
dustries. And a moments thought
shows the reasonableness of the declara-
ton: an honest dollar, that is, dollar
of fixed value and not subject to fuc-
tuations of market value. nor the ex-
mansion or contraction of the currency
composed of such money, within reason
able limits, is the first essential to per-
manent prosperity, and without which
the benefits accruing from the system
of protection must of necessity be lost.
The two propositions are so intimately
connected that they become practically
one; neither can be tempered with and
disturbed in its relation to commercial
and industrial interests of the country
without disturbing and involving the
other.
In view of these facts and con-
ditions Senator Shermans views of the
situation and of the involvings of the
approaching national campaign will be
accepted by Republicans and the bust
ness community generally as correct
prognosis of the issues and consequently
of the personnel of the head of
the ticket of each of the two great
parties. And the campaign being thus
made one of education, it may be re-
garded as practically opened with the
announcement of the results of last
Tuesdays election.

WASTED FORCES.

One of Rev. Phillips Brooks most
striking discouTses is on the energy in
mems nature that is thrown away on
worthless objects or worse than wasted
on evil aims. Just as the stupendous
force of Niagara has been uselessly ex-
pended all these centuries, so has there
been tremendous moral and intellectual
power in men that passed out quite use
lessly in the round of life. Bishop
Brooks says:
There are the elemental affections
which might warm the dead to life and
scatter misery from countless homes of
darkness. There are scheming and
planning enough in the society
of a great city in a single win
ter, if they were nobly instead
of basely directed. to bear all life, with
is countless relations, up into higher
level, and almost build New Jerusalem
along the streets. There are artful con-
irving and tireleSs vigilance and excited
feelings enough in politics, if they were
filled with public spirit and exercised of
seltishness, to grapple with every public
question and save the country thousand
times. There is the faculty of combina-
ton and cooperation, with Its great I'M
developed possibilities.

THE TENNESSEE TROUBLES.

The situation in the mining districts of
east Tennessee has undergone no change
since the capture and destruction of the
stockades, in which the convicts were
kept when not at work in the coal mines,
by the displaced and striking miners.
Beyond experimenting the convicts who
were liberated and returning them to
the state prison at Nashville, the state
authorities have taken no action in the
matter whatever. 1t is said that Gov
ernor buchanan is engaged in trying TO
find some law that will warrant him in
taking some decisive action. What will
be the outcome of the matter no one
seems to have the slightest idea. The
Memphis Commercial discusses the situ-
alton briefly but in very pointed terms,
as follows:
The horrors of the convict slave sys-
tenn were laid before the legislature IN
several formal reports-the coldblooded-
cruelty, the maliciously harbarous and
tiendish puniShments TO which the un-
fortunate slaves were subjected by their
keepers-all this was told over aud over
again. But the legislature, in the teeth

SOUTH KANSAS WHEAT.

The latter summer and earlier fall
months were not favorable to wheat SOW
ing. The ground, after the excessive
summer rains had ceased, baked very
hard, which, together with an unusual
growth of weeds, rendered fall blowing
very difficult and laborious work. The
result was that the sowing was from a
month to six weeks late. But our re-
ports and observation both warrant us in
saying that the growing crop of wheat
in South Kansas is most satisfactory. 1t
could not well look more promising. Of
course the very late sowing has as yet
no pasturage, yet a large per
cent. of the fields will make good pastur-
age in another month.

BETTER TIMES.

Merchants who had out collectors on
the first of the month say that at no time
for many years have collections been so
good. People are paying their bills
promptly and are no longer standing
off" their creditors This is the report
from other towns as well as from Wich
tia. 1t is an indication that there is
more money in circulation, and it will
be a cause of putting still more money in
circulation. IL is both a cause and an
effect. 1t is the effect of closer economy
in the past, and it will be the cause of
more liberal buying in the future. For
lack of means people have done less
buying this year than usual, and have
saved to pay what they owe. When
they get out of debt, which will not be
long deferred at the present rate at
which debts ara being paid, they can do
more buying, and it will be done with
closer approach to a cash basis. This
settling of debts and paying of cash for
future purchases will keep the money
going from hand to hand, and that
means relaxing of the financial string
ency. If every body will pay off his
debts by the first of January, the new
year will come in with great improve
ment in business.
