In the Associated Press report of Mrs.
May Wright Sewalrs opening address at
the recent session of the Woman's National
Council she was made to speak of fed
GRAFTON of woman's clubs as a thing of
the future. This was an error, such
federation having been in existence for
some years, and the statement, where it
was not recognized at once as reportorial
mistake, created surprise. An official copy
of the address. now at hand, shows that
the passage in question In the report was
an excerpt from an address made by Mrs.

which, on this occasion. she merely quoted
for purposes of comment.

Probably the eleventh-hour decision of
George Gould to have a civil as well as
religious ceremony Of marriage per-
formed for his sister and Count Castellane
was wise 1t has been said that French
courts pay little respect to the marriage
laws of other countries, and in France a
religious ceremony alone is not suffi-
cient-the civil marriage, in fact, being
the only one which gives legal protec-
ton. The explanation Of the fact that
American women who choose foreigners
for husbands are so frequently married
abroad instead5of at home is said to be
to insure them all possible legal rights.
1t may be hoped that the Countess Cas-
tellane will never need to seek the aid of
the law to protect herself or her possess
sions, but properly enough her brother
wished to make her way clear in case of

There is some merit in the proposition
to increase the salaries of the Supreme
Judges. There is no economy in en-
ploying cheap judges, and no justice in
starving good ones. A lawyer who is fit
to be a judge Of the Supreme Court of
Indiana ought to be able to make more
than $4,000 a year, the present salary
and doubtless most of those elected to
the position do. When he goes on the
bench he surrenders a practices that has
taken many years to build UP. and his
retired position in that court does not
bring him into contact with the people
or enable him to make new business ac-
quaintances. This case seems to call for
some increase of salary.

The discovery that evil disposed persons
have invented a method of erasing ink
from paper in such way that the re-
moval cannot be detected may cause un-
easiness among persons who transact bus
mess by means of bank checks but It will
afford satisfaction in certain other quar-
tiers. Hereafter the up-to-date story. writers
will have to abandon the time-honored
method of proving the villainy of their viii
lains by detecting erasures in their raised
checks. If somebody will now eliminate
water marks from the paper on which wills
are written the outlook for fiction readers
will be even more cheerful.

THE SILVER COME-oUTERs.

The movement for reorganization Of
the Democratic party on distinctively
free-silver basis seems to have been well
planned and skilIfully launched. When
the manifesto ITO the Democrats of the
United States" was published, about a
week ago. no signatures were given, it
being stated that 1.-The canvass is incom-
plete and the list of signers will not be
made public until it is complete The
manifesto itself had the merit of frank
ness and the natural strength of paper
confined to one subject and one idea. 1t
was platform with only one plank, an
unreserved, unqualified declaration in
favor of the Immediate, free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver at the present
ratio, without waiting for the aid or
coin to be a full legal tender for all
debts, public and private" After leav-
ing the public to surmise for week as
to who might be behind the manifesto
and what it might represent, the names
of the signers are now given. There are
thirty-three of them including members
of Congress, several ex-members and
other representative Democrats from six
teen States and Territories.
The evidently careful manner in which
the movement has been inaugurated and
the considerable number of signatures to
the manifesto suggest a question as to
its possible effect on the Democratic
party. For many years that party has
contained a great deal of financial UNI
soundness. 1t has embraced most Of the
financial hefesies and contained most of
the financial quacks and fakirs that
have afflicted the country. Yet there is
a large number. very respectable mi
nority of Democrats, who are sound on
every phase of the financial question,
and who are opposed to all propositions
calculated to destroy the public credit or
debase the currency, come in whatever
form they may. Mr.. Cleveland repre-
sents that class of Democrats, and al
though he has had but little support in
Congress, he has considerable follow
ing in the country at large. There are
a great many Democrats who are OPP
posed to Mexicanizing the country by
putting it on a silver basis. What will
these Democrats do if the new move
ment goes on? Will they yield their con-
victions to the silver come-outers and al
low the Democratic party to be convert
ed into mere machine for the promo
ton of free silver coinage and the ex-
pulsion of gold from our currency sys-
tenn, or will they stand and fight for
sound finance and honest money? 1t is
incredible that such Democrats as Mr..
Cleveland, and those who think with
him, will ever accept the doctrines pro-
mulgated in this silver manifesto or
continue to act with a party that does
accept them. The only other alternative
is for them to come out as the free-silver
Democrats have done, issue another
manifesto, and either maintain the old
Democratic party or organize new one
on honest money lines That will mean
big split in the Democratic party, and
this is precisely what will happen if the
new silver wedge which the Democratic
come-outers have placed in position is
driven home q

1t was a political necessity for Gov
ernor Matthews to veto the legislative
apportionment bill. The Democratic
party is so thoroughly committed to the
gerrynsander policy, and owes SO much
to the present apportionment, that it
would have been political folly and base
ingratitude for a Democratic Governor
not to do what &c could to preserve it..
The Governors veto is based on the sim
gle point that the constitutional pro-
vision as to the time for passing appor-
tionment acts makes 1t incompetent for
the present Legislature to pass any act
on the subject. This ground has been
traversed so often that there is nothing
new to be said ON the subject, but the
Governor presents the argument ingeni-
ously, and with so much apparent sin
certify that one Is led to regret that he
was not Governor when the present out
rageous apportionment was passed by
