both deserve punishment but he knows it
is safer to shoot the man. because of the
popular conviction that men are never Sc
duced, but are seducers, while married
women are never seducers. but are invari-
ably seduced. 1t is safer therefore to shoot
your wife's paramour than to shoot your
wife. Women when they shoot prefer to
shoot their husbands paramour because
they kraom the married women are seducers
rather than seduced, and therefore hold
the woman who has wrecked their peace to
stern responsibility for the consequences
of her Establishments. The only reason
why more women don't shoot is because
they are more timid than men. and be-
cause their husbands paramount is gem
orally some cheap, vulgar creature that
is not worth serious act of revenge.
But if woman chooses to shoot her
husbands paramount we cannot see how
the plea Of the injured" husband can be
accepted as valid without virtually telling
the injured wife that she too may go and
safely do murder. In practice we believe

THE MUGWUMP IN DESPAIR,

The Springfield Republican, the able
organ of the Mugwumps of New England,
is so utterly disguised with the conduct of
the Democracy in congress thatit saws:
II grows more than ever problemati cal
whether the Chicago nomination is worth the
fuss that is being made over it, The situation
makes the important question now not who will

carry the load Of hlunders which the men who
have OF late protested TO lead the Democratic
party have been preparing for him. Today anv
candid student OF the situation must confess to
serious doubts II Cleveland or any body else can
carry the Democratic party into power again,
after the exhibition of what that party does
with power when it is entrusted with II. which
the country is now compelled to witness.
The Republican proceeds to saw that \
national Democratic platform which de-
clared for economy would be offset bv the
river and harbor bill; an affirmation of
Democratic loyalty to tariff reform would

This is all true. and il has always been
true of the Democratic party since its
reorganization in 1853.

WoMAN'S NIGHT TO MURDER.

The assassination of female seducer in
Paris by the injured, infuriate wife will
naturally help 10 ahate this outrage of
murder in revenge of domestic wrong. If
husband may shoot the paramour of his
wife. surely the wife may Just as logically
plead her right 10 shoot the paramour Of
her husband. To the injured husband his
wife's paramount is ''seducer," but 10 the
injured wife her husbands paramour ia
not q seduced, but seducing woman, and
Jury that refuses 10 punish the homicidal
injured" husband cannot fairly treat,
with any less tenderness the homioidal
siniured" wife.
The absurdity of this arbitration Of real
o. fancied domestic wrongs by the pistol
becomes clearly manifest when We reflect
that the injured" husband seldom turns
his pistol on the Eel wife, and the in ured
wife seldom murders the false husband.
The betrayed man generally shoots the
woman's male confederate, and the be-
trayed woman. when she shoots AZ sll,
generally shoots the siren who has won
her husband from her side.

band thinks his wife and her rsramous

The Unitarian conference of the state Of
Illinois favors the opening Of the Chicago
Worlds fair on Sunday. 1t would stop
the machinery, but it would offer special
inducements to bring in great crowd by
reducing the rate of admission.
The Centennial exhibition at Philadel-
phia in 1876 was ostensibly closed, bat
really open-not to the general public,
who were willing to pay for admission,
but to favored few. who paid nothing at
all to get in. Every Sunday thousands of
people visited the exhibition by the special
permission and invitation of the man
ayers. If the Columbian exposition is
nominaly closed on Sunday the result
will be as it was at Philadelphia in 1876,
the people who would pay for admission
will be shut out on Sunday, TO the greater
convenience of those who can create
favor with the managers and get in for
nothing.
The ineffable ahsurdity of the whole
movement is shown by the fact that the
Chicago saloon and restaurant keepers are
all laboring to have the fair closed on Sum
day, because they know that if the vast
crowd of visitors can not find recreation
and refreshment within the fair grounds
they will seek the restaurants, saloons and
places of amusement. Can anybody tell
why if visiting Presbyterians. Baptists
and Methodists want to go to church,
others who want to go to the exposition
should be barred out? The secta-
rian has just as many rights in
this country as the non-sectarian.
If the sectarian visitor wants to go to
church he has the opportunity, and he is
protected in using it; why should not the
non-sectarian be permitted to spend his
Sunday in his own way. providing that
his ways are orderly? Why should the
sectarian decide for the non-sectarian how
and where his Sundays shall be spent by
closing the gates of the exposition in his
faceo

sentiment Is by no means unanimous"
