The most heartless assertions are be-
coming frequent. The husband, whose
faithful and affectionate wife is bound to
him by tender ties of fortitude, suffering
and helpless children, slaps society in the
webs and pursues his own selfish will
with impunity. Society laughs at this,
and other graceful explorers and adyen-
turers of this sort continue to pick their
choice and to do as they please. Call it
"fogyism" or what You will, the old

Divorces In Vermont.

Divorce proceedings in Vermont reflect
little credit ON that State. At single
term of county court recently twenty
seven divorce cases were heard and nine.
teen divorces We're granted, and at the last
term only single divorce asked for was
refused. The causes for divorce in most
cases were slight and would not have
warranted legal separation in other States.
One Of the judges gave it rs hls opinion
that when man and his wife had made
up their minds that they could not live
together the law might as well separate
them. With such laws and such opin-
riage in the Green Mountain State is OBJ
viously failure.

Senator Morgan's Resolution on Eng
lands Appeal to the Supreme Court.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Morgan intro
duced concurrent resolution condemning
the action of Great Britain in bringing the
Boring Sea controversy before the SUI
preme Court. A long preamble sets forth
the facts connected with the case.
The resolution is as follows:
"ReSolped That the action of the inn
perial government of Great Britain in au-
thorizing and approving the presentation
of the aforementioned information to the
Supreme Court is without precedent and
is prejudicial to the comfy of nations and
TO the usual and amicable conduct of in
ternational relations, and is not in conso-
nance with the dignity of the Government
and people of the United States and the
respect that is due to the President of the
United States.
"ResoIped fWriher, That the President be
requested TO communicate copy of this
resolution to the Government of her
Britanic Majesty IT, in his Judgment, such
communication be not inconsistent with
the public interests"
The resolution was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.

Admiral Porter Dead.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l3.-Admiral David
d. Porter who has been i'll so long, died at
his residence this morning.
David Dixon Porter was born in Chester.
Pa, June s. 1873, and atteded Columbia
College. He was appointed midshipman
in the Mexican navy. In 1929 he entered
the United States navy as midshipman He
served during the entire Mexican War and
commanded the warship Spitfre Later he
commanded mail steamers plying between
New York and the Isthmus of Panama
He joined Farraguts fleet and participated
in the bombardment of Forts St. Philip
and Jackson which lasted six DAYS and
during which 20, 900 bombs were explod-
ed in the Confederate works.
He was at the storming of Vicksburg
when the mortar boats worked ~ days
without intermission.
For his work here he was commissioned
ear-admiral. He was in the Red river
expedition.
On Christmas eve In 1864 he appeared at
Fort Fisher with his feet and in one hour
and fifteen minutes after the first shot was
fred not shot came from the fort.
The latter was uninjured so he returned.
and after seven hours of desperate fighting
the works were captured
Gen. Grant said that this was the most
formidable armada ever collected for con-
centration upon one given point He again
received a vote of thanks from Congress,
and was promoted to be vice admiral in
1865.

The Apportionmelt Bill Passed.

The Senate is to be congratulated for

for the ability he displayed in the debate
and for The steadfastness with which he
adhered to the House bill, making the next
House to be elected consist 1856 mem

the fairest and most non partisan number.
and any deviation from il would have been
merely in the interest Of some particular
State and not in the interest Of equal rem
resentation. The States of New York.
Minnesota, Arkansas and Missouri all have
large fractions left, and the Senators from
these States would have liked to secure
extra representation if they possibly could
nave done so. Senator Berry made an
eloquent appeal for New York, whereupon
senator Hlscock suggested that as New
] pfk would get another member out of
3o', that would be the number to ADOPT
The gentleman from Arkansas would not
consent TO this, for like the Minnesota
Senators, he was in fact asking for an in
crease that his own State might secure the
additional Representative
Inc prompt action on this bill shows
that the Senate can get through with the
business Of the country when it tries, and
We do most sincerely hope it will try to
pass the Copyright bill. and having done
that, take up the Election bill in earnest
and once more assert itself as strictly
Republican body. TO do otherwise means
the wipins out Of the last vestige of Re
publicani-m in the South and to stamp
with approval the Acknowledgement of
hundreds of thousands of American citi-
zens. To those of our weak kneed breth-
rem who fear the Bourbon bluff about the
Worlds Fair and who are timld as to the
effect of the Elections bill on the business
interests, the Press would say that it is
better to be beaten In just cause than to
win in an unholy one. Every true Repub-
lican should vote for this bill and thus
give the party an opportunity to go before
the country on that questionable question
of the hour.-Nelc York Press

Facing Both Ways.

Is the Democratic party calculating to
run in the next campaign as a double-end-
er! Its Senators and Representatives in
Congress appear disposed TO commit them
selves and the party fully and unequivocal-
ly to free coinage of silver. But most of
these same Senators and Representatives
appear to favor the nomination of ex-
President Cleveland and in his letter to
the Reform Club meeting on Wednesday
night Mr.. Cleveland said
The greatest peril would be invited by the
adoption of the scheme contained in the meas
ure now pending in Congress for the unlimited
coinage of silver by our minis. These
conditions fall far short Of insuring US against
disaster II In the present situation we enter up
on the dangerous and reckless experiment Of
free, unlimited and independent silver coin
age,
The phraseology may be criticised. The
ex-President does not always write with
especial terseness or lucidity, and in this
case his mental sloppiness is more than
usually conspicuous. Nevertheless, what
he has to say is so said that nobody can
mistake it, and it puts an end to the ru-
mors which have been circulated for some
months pest that Mr.. Cleveland's friends
were going to get him into line with west
ern sentiments on the silver question, and
secure from him some new and favoring
declaration in order to promote his success
as candidate. Evidently he has been ad-
vissd that the only chance for him as a
candidate, and the only chance of his par.
ty with him, is to propitiate in some way
those in the eastern and the commercial
and manufacturing states who desire a
sound currency.
But it would be a curious spectacle if a
candidate openly making such declarations
of opinions. should nevertheless be nomi-
mated by party whose members of Con-
gress almost without exception take part
in the dangerous and reckless experiment
