PUT a HOLE IN HIS HEAD.
Janitor Bishop.of the Army Build
ing. Commits Suicide.

R. ". Bishop. janitor in the army
building on Robert street, took mis-
own life early yesterday morning
by shooting himself through the
head. Dependency arising from
drink is given as the cause. Bishop
was forty-eight years OF age, and
leaves a wife.
Pie deed was committed shorty
after O'Clock when Bishop relieved
the night Waterman. He reached
the building on time and spoke TO the
night watchman. who soon after
wards left for home. Bishop then
sat down in a chair in the janitor's
room. pulled a Colts revolver OF s.
caliber, and sent a bullet crashing
through his head just above the right
ear. The ball went clear through
Bishops head and lodged in the ele-
vator shaft hard by.
Bishop had removed his street
clothes and put on his oyeralls and
dust protectors, and when found by
Joe Waurer, the elevator man, Bish-
ops head had fallen over on the
back OF the chair. Waurer spoke 10
Bishop. thinking him asleep. but re-
ceiving no response, went closer and
made the startling discovery that
Bishop was dead Everything indi-
Gated that the deed was deliberate.
Bishop had been melancholy for sew
eral days. and his friends claim it
was all caused by drink
Coroner Whitcomb viewed the re-
mains, and after learning the facts
in the case decided that an inquest
was unnecessary. No one about the
army building appeared to hear the
report of the revolver. Bishop lived
at 203 West Fifth, whittier his re-
mains were removed by Quinby &
Abbott, after being prepared for bur-

HARRISON STILL IN IT.

EX-Pre sident Harrison's friends deny
with emphasis that that gentleman has in
any manner suggested that he W III not per-
nit the use of his name as a candidate for
the Republican nomination for President
next year.
The denial was in no way necessary.
Persons having such relations toward his
party and the country as those of the emf
nent ex-President do not lightly and vol
UNFAIRLY thrust themselves out of a race
in which they hold the pole.
Mr.. Harrison has been keeping himself
very much in evidence for come time. He
has fished n good deal-an occupation
which Seems to be a sort of mascot with
Presidents and those who wish to be Presi-
dents.
His natural advantages due to section
and successful experience are in his favor.
1t is a fact well known to everyone that
he ard his friends believe he holds the key
20 the situation. They argue that Morton
is too rich; that Reed is too far away in
the northeast corner OF nowhere; that
McKinley's ultra radical view on the tariff
are not now popular; that Allison has not
impressed himself upon the country; that
Lincoln is too timid, obscure, and cold,
and SO on.
There is something in every one Of these
arguments and though they may not rep
resent the final judgment they are un-
toubtcdiy of sufficient force to keep ex-
President Harrison in the race for the
p residency.

DIVORCE IN A CONSTITUTION.

1t was quite logical, perhaps, for the con
stitutional convention of South Carolina
to practically re-enact the former provision
Of the fundamental law treating OF divorce.
That was the easiest way to get rid of a
vexing question. 1t would have been re-
freshing, however, to have had a more thor
ough discussion of the problem and TO have
witnessed some attempt on the part of the
Solons OF the old South State to throw new
light upon it.
Divorce laws are as varied In the United
States as the sentiment of the States is va
ried. The older governments cling in most
cases to the most rigid Of the old laws, and
liberality of permission for legal separation
of husbands and wives who do not live to-
gether agreeably seems to grow with the
broadening path of the empire as it takes
its way westward.
These varied and conflicting laws, and
the failure of the South Carolina convention
to discuss any other than the old method Of
refusing all sanction to divorce, are strong
arguments that the National Congress should
take up the matter and submit to the people
Of the States an amendment to the Consti-
tuition making divorce procedure uniform in
allthe States and Territories.
The absr.sdity of prohibiting divorce in
South Carolina and other States, while the
disagreeing couples can HE themselves to
Oklahoma and unite the marriage knot in
a few days, is apparent, and should notob
tain under any government processing to be
civilized and enlightened.

THE CONTRACT FOR CADETS UNI
FORMS

Just one year ago ex-Trustee Bowen pro-
posed to the board of school trustees
that, if possible, the uniforms for the
High School Cadets should be contracted
for and made in Washington. The prop
osition received the adverse vote of every
member present, except himself, with
Some sarcastic remarks thrown in.
AT the meeting of the board last Tuesday
the same motion, by Mr.. Bowers sue
ccssor, received the una animous approval
OF the members, showing that school
trustees can learn as well as teach.
If the clothing manufacturers of Balti-
more can undcrbid those of Washington it
is solely because Baltimore is notoriously
the place where the clothing industry
thrives by the employment of women and
children at starvation wages in disease
breeding sweat-shops. Every unifrom
furnished to the cadets in recent years was
symbol of oppression and Il menace to
Its wcarer's health.
There are some six hundred uniforms to
be furnished, and the price will average
about SIS. The expenditure of $4,000
among the working people and merchants
of our own city is well worth securing.
In the stress of last winters poverty such
an addition to the resources of the charity
organizations would have given vast sat
islaction.
There are three advantages to be derived
from the adoption of Trustee Harries'
proposition.
First, the Washingt on manufacturer
Will make profit.
Second, the working people will secure
he employment.
Third, the uniforms can be made under
good sanitary conditions with proper su-
pervision.
1t will be useless, however, to contract
for uniforms with Washington manu-
facturer unless the agreement provides
that the work shall be done in this city by
Washington labor. Without this condition
the contractor will almost certainly send
the work away to be done in the Baltimore
swcatshops, thus securing only the first
OF the aforementioned adva ntages, the
one of the least importance and which,
standing alone, is not worth striving for.
There is no good reason why the patrons
of the High School should pay Wash
fngton contractor a profit of two or three
thousand dollars for standing between
them and the Baltimore sweaters. There
are many sound reasons why they should
pay trifiing increase in the price OF uni
forms, if necessary, to cause the money
to go into the hands of the wage-earners
of their own city, aud to protect their chill
dren from the contagious that breed in
ihe garrets and cellars of Baltimore tene-
ments where clothing is made.
Let it be Washington contract, but
Washington all the way through.

SPAIN IN BAD LUCK.

The loss yesterday of the Spanish cruiser
Cristobal Colon, following so suddenly
upon the wreck of the cruiser Barca asteQui
few days ago, will lead those who be-
neve in providential Interference to the
conviction that the power which rules the
destinies of nations is on the side Of the
Cubans.
In the present depleted condition of the
Spanish treasury, and with only a weak
navy at best, such losses must fall hard
upon the government which is struggling
20 hard to maintain its domination over the
country from which il derives its chief
revenue.
The two cruisers were lost at almost
the same spot. II is asserted that the
Barcastequi was not sunk in collision with
q small coast vessel, but by torpedo.

RADICAL IN THE EXTREME.


The action of the South Carolina con-
sttutional convention regarding divorces
III that State again emphasizes the neces-
sity for some action tending to secure
uniformity in the marriage and divorce
laws of the country. True TO tradition,
the convention has refused TO grant di-
vorces in the State, or to recognize the
validity of divorces granted else where.
By this radical course South Carolina sets
at naught the Legislation of all other
States and Territories i'll the matter of di-
vorces A man or womap divorced in
another State may not marry again in
South Carolina, though he or she is as
free from the bonds of matrimouy as if
never married. Whether such Iegisla-
ton is in the line of good public policy,
or conducive to morality, is open to grave
doubt
1t is almost criminal to place upon the
statute book such marriage and divorce
laws as obtain in some of the Western States.
They put a premium on the severing of the
marital tie, and are immoral in their ten
dency. On the other hand, however, the
severity of the South Carolina legislation

deplored.

William NJ. Evarts, ex-senator, and Sec
retary of State under Hayes, like Web

dent Mr. Evarts is one OF those great men
like Beecher, who is never so undignified as
to use an anecdote or joke without pur-
pose. II laugh-provoking story comes in
his way and it illustrates point he uses it.
Beecher used to come right up to joke in

these grand and eloquent flights of oratory:
