FIFTY YEARS AGO.

e. V. SMALLEY is publishing month
by month in the Northwest Magazine,
of which he is editor, a series of per-
sonal "reminiscences which he calls
"Recollections of Man of Fifty" He
says that he has written them to please
himself, and claims this privilege be-
cause he has been writing all his life for
other peoples pleasure. The GLOBE
hopes that the author has found as
much qualification in the preparation of
these articles as his subscribers find in
reading them. They are in every way
delightful. In the last installment he
reaches the war period, and tells of his
boyiSh experiences at the front. But
this is only climax to a sue
cession of interesting pictures of
life in this country in the two
decades between 1910 and 1860. 1t
seems impossible that in the short
course of little more than quarter of
a century nation should have de-
veloped with such strides in all the
things which make for the personal
comfort and physical happiness OF its
people. Mr. SMALLEY has good mem
DRY, and has always been keen OBJ
server. He paints with the cleverest
pen the astonishing privations. the linn
tied opportunities, the poverty, the
ceaseless. necessity-compelled industry,
the narrownesS, the earnestness, the
joys and the SORROWS of the generation
now coming into middle life. Such
careers have had a strong, self-reliant,
broad-mlnded, companionable, sympa-
thetic race of men. of whom our own
fellow-townsman, the author of these
papers. is an honorable example.

IOWANS.

The Iowa legislature has adjourned

vastly simpliiies the task Of the Demo-
Gratis at the next state electlon.-Chl-
cago Times.
Now that it is known that the Repub-
licans Of Iowa will present Gen. j. s..
Clarkson as candidate for president
one can see some reason for the sweet
things he has said of Senator Quay
Pittsburg Dispatch.
The Iowa Republicans would like to
get away from prohibition if they could.
But they cannot impose their tyranny
on the people of the state and dodge
the responsibility for it. They are out
and they will stay out.-St. Louis Re-
public.
Iowa has appropriated Sl25, 0C0 for a
state exhibit at the worlds fair. The
greatest curiosity Iowa ever had was
that $1,000 Republican majority twelve
years ago. That is gone. and 1t is worth
more than S125,000 to Iowa to be we'll
rid of it.-St. Louis Republic.
The lower house Of the Iowa leglsla-
ture has voted to make silver dollars a

SCANDAL PLENTY.

What folly there is in all this newspa-
per excitement over the DRAYTON-BOR-
ROWE scandal. To read the long tele-
grams, the explanatory and apologize
announcements of the principals and
the profound comments of the editorial
writers, one would think that all women
in the world save this one were above
suspicion; that no other husbands ex-
cept DRAYTON were accused of accept
ing a money bride for their wounded
honor; that BoRRowE was the only
enemy of domestic peace at large and
unwhipped of justice.
And yet the whole world is full of
bad men and worse women. 1t is not
necessary to draw on the secrets of New
York'S social life if material of this
character is wanted to fill space. There
is hardly lawyer of any standing in
any great city who, if his lips were I'M
sealed, could not tell stories of faith
lessness and groveling sin just as alb
sorbing, and With the added interest
which attaches to local scenes and we'll
known faces. Many distraught hus-
band, here and everywhere, is seeking
wise counsel today that he may save
his name, protect his children, satisfy
his conscience, and punish and yet for
give the wife whom he both loves and
hates.
If we could collate these cases, would
they prove anything? Yes, they would
all teach the same truths this last pub
lie instance tells. A dishonored home
can never be restored. A good woman
is better than a good man, but wicked
women will stoop to depths of shame

LET HIM ABDICATE.

There is we'll authenticated story
that at a wedding party in Minneapolis,
a couple of weeks ago, as the bridal
couple started to make their escape
from their wel-wishing friends, the Or
chestra, which had been engaged to dis
course sweet music Oil the occasion, got
up extra wind and banged away vigor-
ousIy at ''Some Other Fellow" to the
horror of the panic-stricken bystanders.

no entertainment of any character was
complete without some one of its tune
full melodies. And he felt satisfied
that his choice was much more appro-
pirate than had he selected the ele-
plant song, with its unhappy suggest
iveneSS of a burden little too heavy
for comfortable transportation, or the
march of the Camponians, limiting of
dull mOnot0ny and dreary routine. All
this establishes one principle, if it
does no more, and that is that
little opera is a dangerous thing.

RHODE ISLAND.

On Wednesday comes the election in
Rhode Island The Democrats have
never carried the state in presidential
year since the war Sometimes the Re-
publican plurality has been over 5000.
Sometimes it has been little more than
a thousand. But there has always been
Republican plurality.
Until 1889 the right of suffrage was
limited to property owners, and large
bodies of citizens were DISTINGUISHED
by this means. Then the constitution
was amended in this particular, and the
states political complexion was altered.
The Democrats in that year had over
1000 plurality. In 1890 they had over a
thousand. Last spring they had over a
thousand.
The outcome for 1892 remains yet I'M
determined. Both sides have made a
vigorous canvass. The Republicans
have the advantage of organization and
of wealth. Rhode Island is a manu-
featuring center, and the protected in
dustries have contributed literally to
the sinews of war. The Democrats, OIL
the other hand, have been reused to
great enthusiasm by the presence OF
GROVER CLEVELAND and by the elo-
quence of noble cohOrt of well known
orators.
1t takes majority vote to elect gov
ernor. If no candidate has majority,
the election is thrown into the legisa-
ture. If the Democrats carry the legis-
lature, they will probably also have the
governorship and will name the United
States senator. If they fail of all this,
but secure even a plurality for their
state ticket, it will place Rhode Island
in the Democratic column for the fall.
The fight is pretty one, because it is
so close and involves so much. The
eyes of the nation are OH Rhode Island.

THE WHEAT PROSPECT.

The wheat market has shown singu-
lar perverSity for months past. 1t has
gone down when every one knew it
ought to go the other way. At least,
the most penetrative Giscerners of the
foreign condition put the figures on the
ascending scale with perfect confidence.
This obstinacy is so perpleXing that
there is less confidence than the out
look seems to warrant in anticipating
The outcome of the next season. The
trade journals of Europe agree that the
wheat crop in India will be less than it
was last year, and that the average
of the spring sowing in Rus
STA will be greatly reduced. This
is almost inevitable from the lack
of seed and the conditions left by
the famine. Generally the sowings in
Europe are reported backward, and the
prospects in France and Hungary are
far from cheerful. 1t would seem prob
able that the foreign demand will keep
uD well the coming season. The i'm
preston, however, that the surplus of
the last crop still in hand is very large,
has beariSh tendency. Still, the wheat
grower may fairly look for remunera-
tive prices, even if the yield shall COM
pare favorably with that of last season.
The foreign market is good deal to the
American farmer.

DISMAL PROSPECT.
Very Little encouragement for
BalloOning

A new view of the aerOnaut's skill is
that given in "A Winters Cruise in
Summer Seas" An Irish balloonist
once said to the author of the book:
1--WE speak of the number of a mans
ascents, as if that gave the measure of
his skill. 1t would be more to the point,
L think, to speak of his deScents, for
those are the real tests"
II thought one involved the other"
was the reply.
Then, sir, you thought wrong! The
balloon makes the ascent for you, but
you must arrange the descent, and make
it for yourself. If you leave it to the
balloon, all the happy chances in life
may not save YOU"
But what can happen? AT least, you
will come down somewherew

joinder, 81 knew 4 man who made two

he was four miles high the bal.

space. For all | know, they are at this

SOUTH DAKOTA DIVORCES.

A New York newspaper says that
Judge AIKENs, of Sioux Falls, has de-
oided to grant divorce to the plaintiff
in the Pollock suit, which was tried
before him. The decree has not yet
been filed, but the courts determine
ton has been unofiicially announced in
advance with commendable frankneSS.
Some surprise has been expressed at the
result. The facts in the case are briefly
these: The plaintiff, rich mans son.
married his fathers chambermald, then
abandoned her, and, migrating to South
Dakota, sought the emancipation the
law allows. There are critics who de-
clare that such record does not make
out proper grounds for relief. But these
people forget one thing. POLLOCK is the
plaintiff in the action, and the plaintiff
always wins in South Dakota divorce
suit. He not only wins, but he wins
promptly and completely. That is what
the South Dakota divorce courts are for.
The statutes and the rules of practice
require uniformity of procedure in con-
tests Of this complexion. The local
SolonS do not propose to hazard a
profitable business by subjecting their
patrons to any risks of uncertainty

A LIBERAL DEMAND.

To the American mind there is
flavor of novelty in the opposition of
persons in responsible and onerous posi-
tons TO being paid by those whom they
serve. The members of the British par
lament have always served without
pay, nor has it been alleged that there
are requiting possibilities in the service,
as has been intimated at times in refer
ence to local legislators at Chicago, New
York and other places where the ethical
standards are uncertain. The Liberal
party in England, at the approaching
election, will make it part of their
platform that the members of par
lament shall be paid reasonable
salary. This is not because competent
persons will not serve without paw.
There has never been any difficulty on
that score The ruling elements have
preferred that there should be no in
ducementS of this character, and it will
now be vigorously opposed. This is not
entirely due to their desire to sacrifice
themselves for the public veal. They
are for the old system because it con-
fines the membership mainly to the
wealthy and aristocratic classes. Poor
men cannot give their time unless they
are aided by contributions from parti-
sans and friends, which is the
case with the representatives of
labor interests. The suffrage has
been extended so as to be almost
as general as in this country. The
workingmen vote, and are entitled to
seats in the popular house. But this is
hardly better than a mockery to them
while the members are without pay. 1t
is an unwarranted tax on the labor Or
CARNATIONS to be obliged to support the
men they aid to elect to the parliament.
The poor man can vote, but is virtually
debarred from serving as one OF the
lawmakers by this practice. If he is
kept there by the contributions of indi-
viduals or societies, it is at loss of
self-respect and independence. The
movement, then, to pay the members is
the natural outcome of general suf-
frage and in the direction Of popular
rights. 1t is not new demand. 1t
was pressed by the Chartists genera
ton ago, but the opposition of the arts
tocratic classes has prevented its adop-
ton. The drift is now strongly for the
Liberals, and it is probable that this
change will be effected at an early
period.

For by the fashion to her sphere
Each woman was confined.
When hoops went out by some cracked brair

And womans fashions, il was plain,

Though to it they adhered
For years. and when it passed away

And as it suited old and young
Twas worn without demur;
To fashion woman long had chung,
Now fashion chung to her.
In time the train became The style,
And every woman wore it;
In fact the fashion for while
Swept everything before it.
And thus the years new fashions bring
Which flourish and decay;
The corset is the only thing
That ever came to stay.
