THE VANDERBILT DIVORCE.
an Example of the Most Pernicious Char
acter Imaginable.

acter Imaginable.
The method by which the Vanderbilt
divorce was arranged is scandal to our
jurisprudence. Worse than that, it is
an influence for the degradation OF
public morals and the breaking down OF
the popular sense of right and wrong.
Practically Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt
divorced themselves. There was no
hearing before a court. The parties
did not appear before the tribunal
There was no public proof of infdelity
on either side to serve as a punishment
to the guilty party or as deterrent in
huence in the case of others. The whole
matter was arranged by dioker. The
only function of the court was to give
legal effect to the terms of the bargain.
Is it, then, the privilege of the rich
10 annsll their marriages at pleasure by
---an4ual agreement The Law, rightly en-
forced against all ordinary citizens, pre-.
soribes that collision between husband
and wife shall be an effectual and per-
emptory bar to divorce. Yet this rich
man and woman have sent their law
yers into court with collusive agree
ment already made; the court has sup
pressed the evidence agreed to be pre-
sented by sending the case to referee
instead of hearing it in open session;
che referee has made report in accord
ance with the terms of the dicker; the
court has affirmed it, ordering the pa
pers sealed SO that there may be no
scandal-which meals simply that the
guilty party shall be spared all social
shame and inconvenience - and the
terms of the collusive agreement have
teen embodied in decree which au-
thorizes one party to marry again at
pleasure and imposes upon the other a
prohibition of marriage which is as in.
sffeotual as bull against comet.
In saying this we do not mean to re-
fleet upon Justice Barrett He is judge
whose eminent learning and conspiou
GUS service are properly appreciated by
the community. But in this matter he
is the instrument of a vicious system
which prevails, we believe, only in New
York and which certainly does got OBJ
tain in most of the other states.
Unless we accept the unclean doctrine
Of free love, marriage and divorce are
not in any sense private matters. Tbs
family relation lies at the very founda'
ton of society. Divorce equally with
marriage is matter of public concern
and should be decreed only after pub
lie hearing and public proof Of statutory
cause.
A case of this kind sets an example OF
the most pernicious character imagina-
BILE. 1t means to the majority that there
is one law for the rich and another for
the rest of US. 1t means that if you
have money enough your marriage vows
may count for nothing. It means that
your misconduct will be carefully guard
ed against exposure by all the authority
the courts possess. It means that while
eollusive divorce proceedings are per-
emptorily thrown out of court in tho
case of ordinary persons multimil-
lionaire and his wife may arrange such
a proceeding in full assurance that 1t
will be ratified by the courts, and that
all tire scandalous details will be secure
ly hidden beneath the sacred seal OF the
tribunal.-New York World,

From the start the fighting was fast

In the tenth Smith landed on Ryan's
neck and knocked him down. Smith
got in several hard ones. In the
eleventh Ryan went to the ground
again. Up to the eighteenth Smith
was right after Ryan and the western
man, though he put up a fierce and
game fight, was getting much the
worst of it. Ryan, however, got in
many hard ones. In the eighteenth the

Assembly.

Creates a Stir in the Presbyterian
Assembly.
Pittsburg, May 27.-The 10th general
assembly Of the Presbyterian church of
the United States ADJOURNED today at
the close of the afternoon session.
The last day was characterized by
speed and dispatch. The proceedings
were confined to routine matters. with
one or two exceptions. 1t had been
expected by some that action would be
taken against DR.. Briggs by deposition,
but such a motion was not proposed.
1t had been whispered about that a
deliverance would be made against the
Presbyterian League of New York, and
against signers of the peace and
work. circular but wiser counsels pre-
vailed. The final statement of the
moderator that the church would stand
by the present decisions was received
with applause.
During the devotional services, it was
stated that the meeting should be to
the spiritual advantage of the city.
The early hours Of the session were de-
voted to miscellaneous business of
minor Importance to clear up the
docket previous to adjournment.
The most glorious parliamentary
tanSle or the whole series OF sessions
Of the assembly came in connection
with report of the committee of the
church policy on reception of polyga-
nous converts in India. The commit
mittee recommended an answer to the
overture of the synod of India which
amounted to no action. A serious re-
sistance was offered by Rev. Robert
Morris. of the presbytery of Lodiana,
India, and the excitement which he
aroused started a stream of motions,
amendments, points of order and ques-
tons for information in which the
moderator almost lost his feet 1t was
finally referred back of the committee
for further report
The order of the day was then taken
up, being reports on synodical minutes.
The house Immediately began to thin
out, and confusion and conversate.n
reigned.
AT the afternoon session, a commit
tee, consisting of DR.. Howard DuffieId.
of New York, DR.. z. r. Craven and
Elder George Junkin, was appointed to
assist the United Presbyterian synod
in the preparation of a new edition of
the psalms by compilation and other

To AN OLD DRESS COAT.

Thou are just trife seedy,
| must needs at last aver,
Though I've laid thee by in lavender,
And treated thee with care;
And our dancing days are over
So the candid friends give out,
Who consider thee old-fashioned
And remark that 1 am stout.
Many year we've spent together
Many a kindly happy year;
Frequent guests and evZr welcome
AT the good mans feast and cheer;
And at many a merry midnight,
To the VOLS flowing sound,
We have tripped it with the youngest
In the square dance and the round
1 have seen the gailants Haunting
In their tinseled gala dress;
But for all thy sombre plainness,
/ have never priced thee less:
For my Phyllis dear preferred thee
To the red coat and the blue;
And what pleased my PhilliS surely
Could not fail to please me too.
And shall I now discard thee?
Must a serving man obey,
Sign and summons in the garment
have worn this many d day?
Or shall 1 give thee over
To musty wardrobe's trust,
And abandon thee forever
AS a prey to moth and dust?
Away the thought I'll keep thee
As I've kept thee yet-with care;
And a fig for lady Fashion,
And whatever handles wearl
A coat unchanged and honest,
shall don thee bravely still;
And with nimble humor foot it
In cotillion or Quadrille.
