II is not . matter OF quite 90 much
certainty ~ the Democrats would like
to have it. that Senators Morse and
Horton will be unseated TO make room
for two straight-out Democratic Sena-
tors. The Patrons Of Industry seem to
be inclined 10 keep the balance of
power in the Senate well in hand. II
the Democrats gained two more votes,
they would have half the Senate, with
the Lieut.. Governor to break the tie.
Patron stock, IS political factor,
would then sink below par. They en-
Joy the sweets Of power too much to
give IT up so easily. Hence their indie
peudence in the matter OF the contest
and the disgust of the Democrats.

Divorce.

The leading paper read at the re-
 cent Ecumenical Council of the
 Methodist churches on the subject
 of "Divorce" truly represented the
 general sentiment of the people oi
 this country in regard to that evil necessity. The view taken was that infdelity and desertion are the two i efficient causes for granting de- cree of divorce. It is to be observed that it is not only the teaching of theChurch that narrows the grounds upon which the marriage relation may be dissolved, but that social philosophy also shows that 1t is much more important to maintain the integrity of the family than to relieve those who find marriage ties irksome. Ideal legislation on this subject will be that which tends most thoroughly to conserve the family life and which, at the same time, affords a reasonable escape in certain cases from ar ill-assorted and unhappy marriage. But the real difficulty in regard to our di- vorce legislation does not lie so much in the narrOwness or laxness of the ground on which marriage is dissolved in any particular State, as in the great diversity of such grounds in all the States. Our -so- ciety requires to be rid of the scan- dalous complications and trickery by which the obligations of wedlock are sought to be evaded. What is needed is such uniformity of law in the different Commomwealths of this UHion as shall prevent the dis graceful state of affairs in which 1t is possible for a person to be con- sidered married in one State and single in another, and in which a dissatisfied married person can ob tain release from obligations in another State which he could not get in his own, There is no more important or urgent work for the Bar Association of the United States and it's branches in the sev- eral States than the preparation of a simple but satisfactorydiyorce law for general adoption.- Washington Post.
The St. Johns herald., 1891-11-19
How Arizona Survives a Flood.

From the Yuma Times we learn this lesson of persistent vegetation in Arizona, despite the most deso- Iating freshets. Frank Townsend's $ l ranch on the Gila, east of Yuma, was entirely submerged and appa- rently ruined by the overflow of last spring, On October 21st, the Times says of this ranch:
 The figs commenced bearing ripe fruit in the latter part of May, and furnished the first of that fruit seen in the San Francisco market, The largest is } inches through and four years old. The trees have been in almost continuous bearing since, and ripe fruit was picked Monday. The oldest vine, four years old from the cutting and fully two inches in diameter, has now green grapes on 1t the size of shot ard if cold wealth CT holds off will ripen fruit in De- cember. Seed of the beautiful Towering acacia, planted twenty one months ago, now shows a growth of six feet high and trunk an inch through.

Mrs. Alice Lincoln, of Boston, has devoted the past twenty years to practical experiments in the mat ter of tenement houses. She has had many of the so called 'bar- racks" in the North End torn down and has built in their stead a num- Der of small houses, among the tenants of which she enforces strict rules as to cleanliness and health fulness. She has been recently try ing to induce some wealthy men to buy a certain short street, and build small model houses which may be rented to the deserving poor at a low rate.

A brief announcement made a few days ago told of the failure of another of the great 110-ton guns with which the heaviest of the Brit ish battle-ships are armed. It is probable that our own naval author ities, profting by the experiments in Europe, will not attempt to build such heavy guns as the monster 11O-ton weapons. The largest guns designed so far are those of thirteen inches caliber, weighing probably fifty tons. It is understood that the battleships authorized to be built will be armed with guns of this call iber, and 1t is expected that they will prove as efficient in every way, and certainly more reliable than the monster guns which have been re- gently giving the British naval au- th0rities so much trouble.-New Orleans Picavune.
