Divorce in Vermont.

1t is said that there are an unusual
number of divorce cases pending in our
courts. Why is this thus? We are
not aware that divorce is made special
iy easy here. 1t is certain that our
laws are as stringent as they have been
in the past 1t may. be that a fortuit-
GUS concourse of circumstances has
thrown these cases into our courts at
the present time. We are certainly
not making good record in this line.
Too many injudicious marriages are
contracted. We have law enough on
the subject. What is wanted is a
change of sentiment with reference to
the sacredness Of the marriage tie.
more children are needed to bind hus-
bands and wives together. Where
there is no property and no children.
separation is an easy affair. 1t will
be a greater task to remove the causes
Of divorce than to reduce the number
Of cases. Let us not lose our good
name or offer any inducements to per-
sons seeking an easy divorce.

The Coming Man.

Who shall it be, Blaine or Harrison
That is the question. Speculation ov-
er the matter is growing apace. l. IS
evident the party is divided in opinion,
but there is no such division as to pro-
duce split in the ranks. Whatever
contest there may be will come before
the convention is held, and whichever
is nominated, should it be either OF
these men, may be sure of the support
of the entire party. There will not be
any serious mugwumpism to speak OF
this time, and Rev. Burchard is dead.
Interviews have failed to kill off Mr..
Blaine. or even impair his health. Mr..
Harrison has filed the public eye more
than Mr.. Blaine and he has done this
in most creditabIe manner. The peo-
ple are proud of him. Mr.. Blaine has
been more quiet in his work as his po-
sition would naturally demand, but
when we look that work over we shall
find that il means something. One
single act of his, the securing OF the
admission of pork into Germany, has
done more for the American farmer
than was done for that much talked OF
parsonage during the Cleveland admin
istration. He has worked cut The idea
of reciprocity to remarkable extent.
He has secured numerous advantages
for our commerce, and in various ways
helped forward the industries of the ma
ton. Heis better man, we believe,
to place at the head of the nation than
he was eight years ago. In the case
of Harrison we are confronted with the
second term idea, and however trifiing
this NAV be in itself, it will have its OBJ
s,r,,ctiye uses in campaign. The
contest will begin in few months, and
the politicians are preparing. They
talk about Vermont being for Blaine.
She will give heavy vote for any good
man that may be nominated, but she
has not vet developed any great am
ount Of enthusiasm for any one. DO
not press the matter, gentlemen, gave
ne time to think, and our enthusiasm
Wi deveIope in proportion to the need
thereof.
