NEWSPAPER OPINION
The McKlnlax Party.

New York Times.
'Brag." it is said in the old adage, ''is
q good dog, but HoIdfast is 3 better. =
The Republicans of Ohio, with the evil
dent consciousness of opening the cam
paign of 1892, started out with
''Brsg" and left "Holdfast" to follow as
he chooses. They took Major Mckinley
for their candidate aud McKinleyism for
their platform, and with ill-concealed
iDdlference left Senator Sherman to his
fate. We have had some reason to criticise
Mr.. Sherman. We have found him
wavering in his adherence to the prinei-
pies OF sound money which no man in the
land understands better than he. We
have especially charged to his accoan
his failure resolutsly to fight the amend
ment to the Resumption act which made
greenbacks relssuable and which was the
severest blow that honest money has
received In American legislation. But
we have always given credit to
Mr.. Sherman for definite purpose and
desire TO do the best that he believed was
possible at the time His errors so far as
good finance Is concerned, have been those
OF Judgment as TO expedlency, and not Of
Judgment as to what was really best.
Contrasted with the shallow demagogy Of
Foraker or the pompous ignorance mixed
with greed and hypocricy Of Mckinley,
Mr.. Shermans craftsmanship is sound,
brilliant, and useful During his, long
career, II he has permitted some mischi. I
because he bad not the courage to contend
against it, his standard has been high
and his services distinguished IL is this
fact that makes it possible now that he
should be displaced in leadership of his

The Chicago Divorce Market.

Louisville Courier Journal.
rhe price of divorces In Chicago has
been cut, and there Is consternation
among the army of loungers who thrive
upon that industry TO whose existence
the fame and prosperity OF Chicago are
due no less than to her stockyards and
elaughter-h and the anti secession
editorials In the Inter Ocean. Divorces
have always been cheap there, but an
enterprising young lawyer has advertised
In the morning papers to take cases at
reduced prices, and the Tribune, with it's
characteristic energy In allowing nothing
to lie concealed that can reflect credit
upon Chicago, sent reporter around to
talk to him and discover how he does It..
Theodore Proulx. for such Is the
name of the young gentleman who is
giving the old lawyers points in the game
and beating them ont, stated to the
Tribune reporter that his list price for
divorces was $24. THAT is cheap fig
ure. | know" said Mr. Proulx. "but
making a speciality of divorces and get
ting them in large quantities can sfford
to knock of on the price" Mr. Proulx
goes further, and allows the applicants
who may be deficient in ready money to
pay the $24 In installments. No
doubt some Of the other fellows will see
Mr. Proulx's cut, and go him little bet
ter, and probably in time under the infu
ence Of such sharp competition, and
increase of business that will naturally
follow, the Chicago man or woman will
be able to obtain a divorce for as small q
sum as $40. Under any circumstances
IL is not likely that we shall see any de-
crease Of this great industry which is So
| firmly rooted In the Worlds Fair city at
the foot of Lake Michigan.
