THE ADMINISTRATION AND SOCIETY.
Fron Haaper,s Weekly.


The gossips Of tbs capital who like a;
administration for the pleasure there is III
it for them, nave doubtless been wonder
ing why social considerations have been
so much ignored. Why are there TO be no
big Cabinet banquets2 Well, perhaps
there are, but it must be confessed that
on the surface there is no sign of one.
Nevertheless, fashion must not froWn on
Mr.. Cleveland as if he were It's enemy. 1t
should recall thu first Cabinet, aud re-
member with deep gratitude the gracious
and abundant hospitality of the Bayards,
the Eudicotts, the Whitneys and the Fair
chilGs. Mr.. Cleveland is not un-
willing that his Cabinet should
give feasts and dances, but he
chooses his associates for their capacity
for carrying on the business of the adj,
ministration. Society will flourish whether
or not the Cabinet helps along the enjoy
ment, but there Is no reason, under our
Constitution and with our republican view
why poor men should be debarred from the
Cabinet, or why the country hould not
enjoy the services of an able man whose
polite education had been unfortunately
neglected. Inc graces of life are good,
and Washington will have them not
w~lthstanding the Cabinet. but IL is not
essentt Il to the transaction OF the public
business that the Secretary of State
should be able to furnish sumptuolS
entertainments for the idlers of the capl-
tan. or that he should add to his dlplom-
acy a nice taste Tor terraptn aud Bur

AMUSEMENT is.
The Local Theatres.

The three dudish, blonde young gentlemen
whose pictures adorn many of the bill
posters in this city at present, look
so roguishly mischievous that one is
very much tempted to go and see what
they do in .Incog, y in which they appear at The
Academy of Music this week. They are as alike
as the two Dromios in '.Tne Comedy of Errors. -
Mr.. Charles Dickson, who takes the leading role,
is said to be an excellent comedian, and is
assisted by a merry, bright company. "The
Salt Cellar will precede ''Incog" as a curtain
riser.

IN our news columns today, we
give some very interesting facts re-
garding the proposals made for uni
form legislation in the several States.
1t would be vastly to the honor and
happiness of the country if all, or
nearly all, of these were adopted.
When the Constitution of the United
States was framed, marriage was re-
garded as a sacred state, once as
sumed, not to be easily abandoned.
Divorce was an unknown, or almost
unknown, misfortune. 1t never sug-
gested itself to the upright and self
respecting law makers of the Revolu-
tionary days, that it might be neces-
sary for Congress to regulate the terms
of marriage and divorce to abolish a
National scandal and a National evil.
Therefore, the only feasible way of
reaching the present canker in our
National morals is by agitating for
uniform laws to be passed by the Leg
islatures of all the States. But here
the difficulty arrives, that different
standards of decency and morality
prevail in different sections of the
country. The older and more con
sentative States, after passing through
a period Of laxity, in many cases have
as a rule settled down to the strictes t
lines for the regulation of divorce and
marriage. The Western States, on
the contrary, are in many instances
passing through a period of wanton
and monstrous laxity. The outlook
for any speedy remedy of the existing
evils is not good, but the only way to
accomplish it in the long run is by
unceasing agitation of it on the high
est principles of deceney and public
policy.

swhy a company cannot be formed in
