1t is always an unfortunate thing for any
institution which has no political character
aud especially college, to be drawn into
partisan politics; for such fate is almost
certain to injure It's standing and useful
meas. This, however, is tho predicament IN
which Amherst college finds itself. Eigh-
teen Of the professors Of that institution
issued q pronunciamento endorsing Mr..
Cleyelund's views on various public ques
tons, but particularly his position in rela-
ticn TO the tariff question There arc Ger
tam theories which appear all right OF pa
per, but they nre not found to work whom
an attempt ia made to put them into prac-
tice, and free trade is one Of thom. There
was n time also when the theory of per-
petual motion appeared perfectly roasi-
Die to many in theory. None
ever dreams Of such thing now, however.
The free traders have elaborated theory in
relation to our country and they, too, will
in time find that their tariff views are not
practicable. ET5e trade seems to have a
fatal fascination for those college professors
who withdraw themselves from participe-
ton in every day affairs. They become
mere theorists. They infer perhaps that
| free trade would work here because it has
| for time given partial satisfaction in Eng
/ land; but the sccls OF living is 50 different
in the two countries that 10 such conclusion
is warrantable
We do not anticipate that the pronuncia-
mento OF the Amherst professors will iujure

Tho Political situation.

While the presidential campaign IL I'M
usually quiet there IRE strong indications
that the voters are doing some hard think
ing. The business men of tho country will
to "A large cxtony decide what the outcome
OF the election shall be and we doubt if tho
great majority desire to exchange their
present feeling Of security for the uncer-
tanty in relation to tariff changes which
would follow Mr. Clevelaud's election. The
general situation is very forcibiy aud intel
lizently summed up by Col. john A. Cock
eriil, formerly editor OF the New York Her
aid, who writes in the editorial page OF the
New y ork Herald as follows
MIR. Clevelands worshipful managers
now publicly admit that upon the action Of
the TRmmany Hall organization III this city
the presidency once more hinges. If Tam
many contents itself with the simple party
duty OF polling its normal vote Mr.. Cleve-
land has no chance to win in this State. If
it goes into the business OF colonizlus and
forcing votes through its police and other
machinery tho result may De diiIerelt Mr..
Croker has pledges from Cleveland and he
has been permitted TO practically walk or
with the entire municipality. 10 has lived
to see the men who scorned and derded aud
absolutely cursed his organization in Chi
cago begging in front of his vgwam, and
he knows that two years hence tho power
which be is invited to place in the hands Of
Cleveland, il secured, Will be used to his
destruction. lie may not, under all the
circumstances, care to do more than his
plain party duty.
In the interior of the State the followers
of David b. Hill know that the election Of

divorces may be obtained and to tho en-
courngemont which ~ thus given to the
dissolution on trivial causes of one OF the
most solemn of obligations. The evil which
it deplore5 is OF course Of a two fold char
actor
The ease with which the marriage CON
tract can be broken s but n sequence OF the
reckless indiecrotion with which the contract
is entered into. So long as social conditions
exist which permit matrimonial alliances TO
be made as a matter of convenience, or with
utter Disregard of their true nature, or the
compatibility of the parties thereto, so long
will the law be successfully invoked to dis
solve them the moment their burden be-
comes intolernble. 1t is impossible Of course
| to devise legislation which will remedy this
but il any mems can be adopted to prevent
hasty md foolish marriages, great step
will have been taken toward the prevention
of divorces
There is no doubt that many nasty and
! ili-considered marriages result from the
| knowledge that the tie can easily be broken
| IL it becomes irksome. Therefore, mako il
loss easy to procure q divorce and parties
will naturally be- more careful in assumin {
matrimonial relations. One OF the most
practical and ready ways OF accomplishing
this object is to secure uniformity OF legis-
lation in relation to marriage and divorce in
all the States. 1t is to he hoped, therefore
that the biz introduced by Senator Has
kins, providing for the appointment OF com
tnissionors to examine into this and other
subjects, may become law.

RutIand's Charter Controversy.

"Ihe Rutland city charter question, long

Tho controversy has from the first been al
most wholly upon one point-the boun-

its only evident hope was that the Logisla-

In view OF the fact that a bill is before
the State Legislature looking toward uni

desire to call attention to the pastoral letter
which was read before tho late general con-

upon the sacreiness OF marriage tie, and
especially the marital relation, showing that
