The LAW OR The WOMAN.


It is trite, though true, that circum-
stances alter cases. The truth is ap-
parent in the case Of Bishop Littlejohn
Of the Episcopal Church Of Long Island,
aiding and Abettiug his daughter In going
from her own state and after acquiring
technical residence in another, suing
for divorce from Almet F jerks, the
corporation counsel OF Brooklyn, on the
ground Of abandonment and non-sup-
port"
Bishop Littlejohn has heretofore op-
posed divorces on any other grounds than
those recognized by ecclesiastical law,
which are consanguinlty, want OF nubile
age, previous marriage, force, fraud
and physical incapacity Nearly all
these causes are ruled out by the known
circumstances OF the case. The parties

THE WOMAN or THE WHITE HOUSE
The relations of Mckee to this ad-
ministrstion are anomalous; his relations
to his wifes family are humillating.
Still there Is an element OF humor In
both which is almost Irresistible
Mckee is a very respectable retail shoe
salesman. Before Baby McKee's mother
became the social dictator Of the White
House, Mckee was a reasonbly good
match for Mr.. HRrrison's daughter, but
since that eventful period the noifensive
man has been thorn In the Harrison
flesh, dead weight to the soaring social
ambitions Of the suddenly elevated
royal family,
1t does not appear that President
Harrison has entered actively into the
scheme to snub. to obscure and to ignore
the former shoe man OF indianapolis and
the late electric light man of Boston, but
he has not restrained his self-asssrtive
daughter He has, at least. permitted II
not abetted, the mother Of Baby Mckee
in treating the father Of Baby Mckee as
THE Light That Failed"
During the apogee of the Harrison
family Mr. Mckee remained quiet and
lonesome in the indianapolis shoe store.
Mrs. Mckee was permitted to make
occasional trips to remind him Of the
spotheosls OF Harrison ana to prevent
him from feeling the necessity Of going
to Washington to mingls with and en-
barrass the royal family with his plebian
presence,
A few day ago Mrs. Mckee and her
royal sister -in-law, Mrs. Prince Russ,
left the White House to start for pro
gression through Europe Mrs. Mckee
said goodbye" to all the servants, but
Mrs. Russell Harrison gave each Of them
a hearty shake of the hand
Russell Harrison escorted their high
aesses to Ne% yesl: yeas.l: where Mrs. Mckee
stopped long enough to give Mr.. Mckee,
who came from Boston to revel in that
gracious favor, short audiencs before
embarking.
Mr.. Mckee will then 60 back to end
solace In his electricity, Baby Mckee will
continue to run the administration. aud
Mrs Mckee will sweetly permit the
functionaries about the Offices Of the
consuls Of Europe to SEND short tele-
graphic accounts Of her progress abroad
to the faithful at home.
Mrs. Mckee is daisy. She is fully
aware Of IL, and works 1t proudly and
iuently. She fully appreciates the fact
that nothing more can be expected Of
Father Mckee, and that Baby Mckee is
in the direct line Of succession; in fact
he is the Heir Apparent.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
A POlitIoAI Banoo Game.

Louisville Courier Journal.
She New York Tribune, In 3 recent
article, pasnionstely inquiries what is the
meaning Of the anxiety displayed to
show that tin plate Is not now produced
In commercial quantities, as the tin plate
section has not gons into effect The Trlb-
une begins its inquiries at the wrong end
II should have asked what is the reason for
the passionate anxiety to show that the
tin plate section Of the Mckinley bill has
built up an American industry before it
took effect II II had any doubt upon the
question whether such an attempt had
been made or not it could have found
ample proof that 1t had In its own columns
some Eve weeks ago, where It was said /.
"Why, the Mckinley bill was going to
raise the price of tin plate Don't you
remember the free trade tears that were
shed over the little tin pale Of the labor

can market In six months time has been
so far filled by American tin plate as to
compel the Welsh trust to shut down r.
IL is not difficult to guess why these pre-
lenses Of great American production of
tin plate were put forward. II was no

own figures Il is also candid enough to
admit That "the extraordinary demand in
advance of the new tariff put up the
price The country has been paying
roundly for this advance in prices, and
the defenders of the Mckinley bill have
been anxious to placate public sentiment
by advancing the idea that the country is
building up new industry at rapid rate.
In their haste to accomplish this purpose
they have ignored the fact that the new
tariff on tin plate is not yet operative,
and have circulated fctions about sup
plies OF American tin plate which the
most diligent inquiry fails to hnd. When
detected in this political bunco game,
they retort that whoever refuses to be-
lieve these hctions is liar and hater OF
the American Industry This retort is as
illogical as it 10 i'll tempered, since the
making Of tin plate is not an American

as Bishop Littleiohn used to express, TO
assume somewhat milder position in
regard TO divorce.
Here is q case where not only the
ecclesiastical. but the statutory law also
was avoided and the daughter of a
bishop, with his consent and advice, went
into another state and sued for divorce
which would not have been granted In
her own state and four bishops unite in
approving his action.
1t is just and right that clrcums tances
should alter cases. Reasonable men
must coucede that these Eve bishops
were right and yet they approve Of
actions ignoring ecclesiastical law and
evadlng statutory law in obtaining a
divorce contrary to both.
The rigidity of laws must be relaxed
TO meet special cases. II could not serve
any good purpose to punish the bishops
daughter with bad alliance for the
sake Of keeping = mere law inviolate. A
woman's life and happiness are worth
more than law. Better break the law
rather than spoil the womAn's life.

HOW SILLY THEY WOULD LOOK
The neatness precision and complete
ness with which Senator Carlisle pune
tured the sophlstic fallaeies Of the
Farmers Alliance delegates who came to
him for advice has been the subject Of
comment far and wide.
The salient feature of their con-
glomeration of vagaries was that the
government should control the railroads,
telegraphs and telephones. The delega-
tion from the Peoples party iasco at
Cincinnati went over the river into Ken
lucky to ask Mr.. Carlisle what he
thought Of that great scheme.
Mr.. Carlisle pursued the Socratie mode
OF argument snd asked the delegates
how they thought OF acquiring those
great properties; whether by seizure or
purchaser They were honest and just, SO
they assured the distinguished Senator
that they meant to buy them from their
present owners at fair price Then he
asked them how they would raise the
necessary money to buy and pay for
about $40, 900 600. 900 worth of property9
Considering that the farmers are OBJ
jecting now very properly, to too much
national taxation, the proposition to raise
that startling aggregate of money was
staggering. The concentrated wisdom Of
the entire Peoples party was not
sufficient to develop an answer to Senator
Carlisle's question. The delegation was
stumped, foored and laid out,
There is no use contending against the
keen, clear cut thought Of Carlisle. 1t
is said that when he has made an argu-
ment there is nothing more o be said
He has stated both sides Of the case fairly
and drawn the logical and inevitable
conclusion 80 convlnclngly that when the
other fellow attempts to state his case he
finds that it has been better stated
already; that be must either stop or go
on to reach the same conclusion that Mr.
Carlisle has reached.
The Peoples party delegates who had
not thought before, thought then, and
practically concluded that as the govern
ment did not have the money to buy
the railways without increasing the
taxes, it might be well to allow them to
remain under private control, especially
as Mr. Carlisle represented that several
other almost as great evils, namely
that Of losing money in operating the
railways and increasing the number Of
Federal office holders to the extent Of
several millions, would follow govern
ment control.
The trouble with the delegates, like
the tin plate fools, is that they did not
think that they had not counted the
cost
Tin plate has been enhanced IN price
already by the Mckinley bill, SO that 1t
has cost the people Of the United States
more money, as bonus simply. than all
the tin plants Of Wales are worth. But
show a tin plate fool sheet Of tin with
the American flag on 1t and he goes wild
II not wild already, with joy that is as
intense rs he 10 insane.
The government could own the rail-
ways Of course the idea struck the dele
gates as beautiful and righteous even,
but when Mr.. Carlisle asked them how,
showed them the cost, compelled them tc
sit there and face the cost and the other
difficulties, they wilted.
Suppose Mr.. Carlisle could catch few
Of the tin plate fools and compel them tC
face the question Of cost merely; how
silly they would look
