DELAWARE DIVORCE LAW,

DELAW AXE DIV OltCE LAW
The large number of divorce cases
that are now before the Legislaiur in
this State, besides all those in the
courts, suggests the advisability of
amending the marriage contract to
read "until death or divorce us do
part"
There is also strong sentiment in
favor of an uniform divorce law for
the whole country. At present there
are 43 divorce laws governing 43 States
one State, South Carolina, having
none at all. Instead of one law for
New York, another for Dakota, and
another for Delaware and so on, let us
have one marriage and divorce law for
the whole United States, SO that if you
are married or divorced in one State
you are as lawfully married or di-
v0rced in another. The statute laws
of Delaware grant absolute divorce
for the following offenses desel tion
three years, habitual drunkenness, ply
sical incapacity, extreme cruelty, con.
viction of felony, parties married un-
der age, fraud and force in procuring
marriage, wilful neglect of husband to
provide for wife during three years.
Either party may remarry again, hut
party guilty of adultery may not marry
party with whom crime was commits ed.
No statuatory provision as to marry

why Men Should Marry.

1t was clearly meant that all mer. as
well as all women, should marry {; and
those who, for whatever reason, miss
this obvious destiny are, from natures
point of view, failures. L. is not a
question of personal felicity (which in
eight cases out of ten may he more
than rroblematic), but of race respon-
sibility. The unmarried man is a
skulker,, who in order to secure his
own ease, dooms some woman, who
has rightful claim upon him, to cell
bacy. And in so doing he defrauds
himself of the opportunities for mental
development which only the normal
experience can provide. He delibe-
rately stunts the statue of his man.
hood, impoverishes his heart and brain
and chOkes up all the sweetest poten-
tialities of his soul. To himself he
is apt to appear like the wise fox that
detects the trap, though it be ever so
cunnipgly baited, that refuses to sur
render his liberty for tht sake of an ap-
petizing chicken or rabbit, which may
after all be a decoy, stuffed with saw
dust; while as a matter of fact his
case is that of the cowardly servant in
the parable, who, for fear of losing his
talant, hid it in napkin, and in the
end was deemed unworthy of his stew
ardship.

The Silver Basis.

In the United Press report of the de-
bate in the United States Senate, the
day before yesterday, we find this pass
age:
"Mr. Gray spoke of the daily with
drawals of gold from the Treasury,
and asked whether the President
should have allowed the country to
lapse into silver basis with all the at
tendant suffering which would be con-
sequent on such change, or should he
have exerted the power which the law
gave him to maintain the policy which
the law enjoined.
1t is painful to see Senator of the
United States So careless in the use of
language, and SO ready to adopt the
slang of Wall street in discussirg o
financial subjects. A suspension Of
gold pay ments might put gold to a
premium over currency, bat, SO long
as silver is not admitted to free coin
age at our mint, there can be no such
thing in this country as silver basis.
Whenever that basis is established, our
currency will be measured by the bull
lion value Of silver. which is now about
one-haR that Of coin.- Does Senator
Gray think that il the Treasury were
70 suspend gold payments tomorrow,

after all, for the whole party from an
other and more important point of
view. 1t eliminates the Hon. Robel t
E. Pattison, aud with him erky and
somewhat pestilent ambition which
threatened mischief in the national
politics of 1896.
There is plenty of eyidsnco that Mr..
PattisoD's eyes have been less firmly
fixed upon the Mayors office in Phila-
delrhia than upon the mansion now
occupied by the Hon. Grover Cleve-
land. In the hopes and expectations
based upon a sufficient sense Of self
Importance and an abiding faith in the
efficacy Of the capital r in reform, the
beaten candidate of Tuesday has re-
ceiyed encouragement from his sstute
friend and promoter, the Hon. William
Frizzle Harrity. Under that curly
topknot, works the restless intellect
of a Warwick, and Pat,ison has been
for some time the most available thing
in the way of raw material.
Another Warwick, however, has car
ried the day. Pattison is much further
from the White House than he was
last Monday. He will probably drop
out of sight Low; for the political
career that runs from a phenomenal
victory as Democratic candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania, down TO
whacking defeat as Democratic and
Reform candidate for Mayor of Phila-
delphia, cannot be regarded as gaining
momentum as it goes. The trend,
certainly, is not toward the Chief
Magistracy of the United States.
Mr.. Pattison's equipment as Re-
former was rot complete. He had the
ambition and he had the Harrity, but
he lacked avoirdupois. He ought to
quit politics until he weighs at least
three hundred pounds.

THE Hawaiian royalists had things
down pretty fine when they plotted
the revolt against the new Govern
ment. The proclamation of the aspir-
ing slip was already written, her
cabinet officers chosen and arrange
ments made to "dispose Of" certain
prominent citizens of the Republic.
All of which was done in the belief
and expectation that the Administra-
tion at Washington would support the
movement to restore the barbarous
queen to the throne, which was wholly
warranted by Mr.. Cleveland's course
up to that time. 1t is not surprising
that Hawaiian Government is severe
in the measures adopted to stamp out
the remains of this dangerous royalist
sentiment.

candidate for Mayor of Philadelphia
carried every Republican ward

10000. AS Ex-Governor Pattison was
regarded in the light of very possible
Presidential candidate on the Demo-
crat ticket two years hence, his over
whelming defeat is matter of National
interest. He tried to pose as d re-
