AN interesting law has had its first

AN interesting law has had Its first
test in Ohio before the Ross county
circuit court. The, case decided is that
of Christopher Hickle to compel his
wife to support him, he being old and
without means, and she being possess
ed of valuable landed interests in the
Scioto valley. The law was passed by
the legislature in 1887, and the circuit
court is unanimously of the opinion
that the legislature intended that the
wife should support the husband If he
is not able to support himself and she
is 80 able, and hereafter wife will he
compelled to pay alimony to an in-
digent husband If he is not able to
support himself.

removed nearly fifty thousand repub-

IF you wish to send letter away in
a hurry, says an exchange, be shure to
write sin haste" on the envelope. The
postmaster and clerks will then fall
over each other in their haste to get it
into the first mail; then the postal clerk
will yell to the engineer, "PuIl her
wide open. Here is letter that ia In a
rush." And the train will just fly it.
1t is expensive for the railroads as ac-
cidents are liable to happen, and the
officials will notNthank US for giving
it away, but that is the way to get

Prof. Horsford, of Cambridge, Mass,
who believes that the Norsemen dis
covered America long before Columbus
did, and that they landed on the
Charles river. has now discovered what
he believes to be the foundation ofLeif
Erickson's house; and he has petitioned
the Cambridge authorities sforauthori:y
to protect them from relic hunters by
erecting fence around the spot at his
own expense. The large portion of the
supposed remains lie in the highway.
Prof Horsford thinks these foundations
were laid In the year 1000; and he

Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, seems
to havea unique way of "talking out in
meeting" that is not pleasing to the
Republican bosses. We extract the
following from his brief but instructive
remarks at Minneapolis:
III hold in my hand Mr.. Chairman "a
list of 1870 odd office-holders who are
delegates to the convention, ,nine-tenths
OF whom live in states were there Is a
hopeless democratic majority. Ap-
plause. The trouble in this committee
as to the contests comes not alone from
these men, but comes from the govern
ment Office holders who swarm the
corridors of the hotels and fill these
galleries, haunting the delegates who
ought to he in Washington and else
where attending to other business.
[ Applause Mr.. Chairman-[Cries of
sit down. 1 won't sit down. I will
speak. [Applause. We republicans of
republican states would like to have a
little voice in naming a candidate for
the presidency. Possibly the office
holders will name him, but we don't
believe it. We from the republican
states ask the office-holding contingent
who are bringing a'solid south against
US to at least conduct their side of the
case in common decency and common
honesty, so we won't be ashamed to
vote the republican ticket"
In connection with this, the follow
ing figures of the vote nominating
Harrison may prove of interest:

political effect.
Finally the Blade says, prohibition
will never come rs q political
movement, until q heavy majority OF
the people favor Il; and when' that
majority does 30, political party
devoted to the issue Is super1uous.
The people will, without the need Of
party machinery, abolish the saloon"
There Is not an issue set forth In the
Republican, or any other platform, OF
which the same thing may not be said.
Why not throw up the Tariff issue,
the Silver question, and the Pension
ing of Soldiers, and take them out Of
politics, and go into the work Of
educating, and when a great majority
Of the people favor them the people
will OF course, adjust these matters
without any need OF party machinery!
II question which involves four
fifths Of the pauperism, and crime In
this country, aud an indefinite
multiplication oftaxation; II business
that creates desolation and untold
misery, that tramples upon the rights
Of the weak aud helpless, that is the
prolific stem of all other vices, aud
that dominates political parties; II all
this Is not the subject OF political
action, then no question that ever came
before the American people can be a
tit subject for such action. If the
Prohibition of the liquor traffic is not
fairly political one, then how can the
the licensing of that traffic be proper
in politics? Yet the license
policy, has become the settled policy
of the Republican Party for has not
Ex-Gov. Foraker said in the plenitude
of his wisdom, that such policy, is an
eternal one, and to II the Republican
Party is unalterably committed? And
is not Gov. Foraker one of the greater
gods of that party?
In conclusion we say 10 the Blade,
Dearly Beloved, let your arrows no
longer be aimed at the enemies of
rum, and when you speak of them,
'let justice be done though the
heavens fall" 1t may be comforting
for you to know that the Prohibition,
Party has come to stay and is on the
road to certain victory. Every Presi-
Dental election shows large
increase, over the preceding and
the coming campaign will be one
Of the most aggressive ones ever
fought, and our vote will be more than
doubled, If not quadrupled. The
lawless, drunken debauchery at
Minneapolis will add thousands to our
ranks. So mote it be. Let all Prohi-
bitionists keep in the middle of the
Kings Highway. w. T. G.

present attitude recalls his peculiar
conduct during the crisis that sue
ceeded the unseating row. He then
announced his intention of departing

legged financial embarrassment as the
cause, and to retain him Lieutenant
Governor Strong consented to q $500
loan to relieve present necessities.
Holcomb afterwards got q s., 400 loan
by the same means. The publication
of this transaction and HolcOmb's
threats against various important
measures, notably the Detroit police
bill, because vicious little local meas
ure of mis- own was slaughtered. con-
st.tuted one Of the sensations OF the
regular session. 1t should be stated
that he gave good security for the
larger loan, but WAS enabled by his
peculiar methods TO avoid the pay
