The Marriage License Folly.

The Tribune quotes our remark about
the marriage license proposition, and then
on them thus
New Jersey will have enough to do in
locking after the morals of its own citi-
zens without bothering with New York
or Pennsylvania. What New Jersey ought
to do just now is to stop the scandalous
travesties on marriage which occur with
such painful regularity in Camden and
P~hillipsburg and, in a lesser degree. in
Hoboken and Jersey City. But the new
law need not affect any citizen of New
Jersey.
We are surprised to find the 'Tri-
bune'' so dense. OF the marriages Of
couples from other States performed in
New Jersey, there is reason to believe
p~fnety-nine per cent. turn out well. The
contracting parties are in a hurry to mar
ry-a not wholly reprehensibie state Of
mind In young people-or they are ham
pered BY some sort of restriction, legal
or other, which they can only escape by
coming to this State. In the case of New
Workers, one or other of the parties is
usually the victim Of the very foolish
divorce law of that State. No matter
what the reason for coming here, we re-
iterate, at least ninety-nlne of the mar
rjaees out of a hundred turn out as well
As the average of other marriages.
There remains the one per cent. In
which they are all wrong, and turn gu,
badly. These are iamentable; but W.

THE PROVINCIAL PARADEs.
Post-EIectien Qualifications
Country Towns.


Now that the voting is accomplished
and most Of the debts are paid almost all
the smaller towns are preparing for their
final parades in honor of the victory, and
now comes the triumph OF the ~non-voters.
There is something grand and even awe
inspiring in a great mass OF humanity
surging and swelling through a large city
as they did in New York last week, but
when small, outlying towns turn out up
on their principal streets there is not a
woman or even a child alive who does
not have a personal interest In the success
of the display.
Almost everyone feels that the parade
will pass their own door, and so every
house is alfght with lanterns, flags and
decorations; all the women in the town
claim at least dozens of friends in line,
and a waving handkerchiefs or flags
greet every passing acquaintance there is
a -bonhommie, a hearty j~oyousness, abroad
that the grander spectacle of a metropolis
must always hack.
And the girls! What a gala time they
have, with their bouquets ready for their
especial SWANS; their homes aglow all
evening and their uniformed escorts walk
ing about with them before and after the
marching is done.
There is something about a man in re-
gala that still appeals most alluringiy
to the Feminine eye, and it is hard to find
a maiden nowadays who is loath to fasten
a buckle on a belt that will add lustre to
her masculine share of the political pa
rade. And then, too, 1t is so safe to run
about from street to street and see the
sight from all points of view. The town
is not large enough to let the sound of
the bands be wholly lost at any time. The
route is not 80 long but that the daintiest
maid may follow it if she viii, and so the
sidewalks are alive with a jolly, laughing,
inspiriting company. who trot merrily
along and make the usually quiet streets
ring with life and enthusiasm. The horn
has come to the fore this season, n
many a pair of laughing lips toots a greet
ing to the passing crowd which her
bushes would never let her give unaided
And SO the patriotism grows and spreads;
gorgeous chrysanthemums flash their
golden beauty at every passerby; open
doors invite him who wills to come in for
the good cheer. and when at last the
march is over and midnight is near at

Great Success of the Popular Matinee

A very charming performance of Tam

Opera House yesterday afternoon at popu-

Eames. Plancon and Lassalle at less than
the regular opera prices, was AXE adj

FLEMINGTON, Dec. 10, 1s9s.-The mys-
ferrous disappearance of a quantity Of
hardware belonging to Frederick Linda

the size OF a walnut, a carriage bolt four
inches long and a paddock was also dis
covered in the animals stomach. One of
the nails, which was three inches long

sharp as a needle, had penetrated the
wall of the stomach and firmly imbedded
Itself in the muscular tissues surrounding
the heart, which caused DEATH.

vINELAND, Dec. 10, 1Ss6.-For the past
few days F. 3. Potter, a baker here. has
been missing pies from a drawer in the
rear of his wagon. He guarded the
wagon diligently, but the pies continued
to disappear. Finally, the baker, before
he went out on his route yesterday morn
ing, connected the drawer and his arm
with a cord.
While driving along Myrtle street dur
ing the morning he felt a twitch at the
end of the line. Potter quickly jumped
from his seat and ran to the rear OF
the wagon. Perched on one of the shelves
was little Walter Fisher, twelve years OF
age. quietly munching away at a choice
mince pie The baker quickly nabbed the
little robber and took him to the Mayor,
who committed him to jail.
Young Fisher has by former acts made
himself notorious in Vineland, but the
authorities have been lenient with him
owing to his youth. The boy admitted
to Mayor Lord that he was guilty of rob

women and wages.

Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake delivered
one Of her silly TRADES at the Whittier
House on Tuesday evening. None Of il
was new: none If it was rational; none
rrcf it was worth answering. There was
5nsV one sentence which suggests a gen
eraiN auapciple w{rth reststiss The ea5-
tence was thar wherein Mrs. Blake made
d grievance Of the fact hat women are
mot paid the same compensation as men.
This is a supposed injustice, which ap-
peals to many well meaning people, who
only look at one side of a proposition.
The cry, Equal pay for equal work"
Is a catchy one, which imposes on those
who only take a casual interest in the
question.
The truth is equal pay for equal work
as between women and men would be a
gave injustice. Besides it would be a
disintegrating influence which would
sooner or later destroy society.
Women are now paid on a parity with
men. Their average compensation bears.
in the majority of cases, about the same
relation to that of men which the cost
of their subsistence and their average
responsibilities bear. 1t is true that there
may be found exceptional cases, numerous
exceptions let US call it, in which women
play the part of breadwinners for many.
and, in such cases, their earnings often
prove inadequate But these are the acct
dental cases, the cases of misfortune,
and a law of social organization can no
more be based upon them than it can
upon the cases of blind men or con-
sumptives. In the present day, there are
nearly as many women working out of
mere desire for fnery, or pocket money, or
Independence" as there are those who
support dependents. If these were with
drawn from the market for female labor
by any improvement in the general moral
tone, the cessation of Mrs. Blake's cru
sade, for instance, the a of women
in general would probably advance sufi-
GENTLY to efface the worst hardships of
fhe present condition.
The controlling principle of the ques-
tion, however, is the undesirability of
ever increasing the compensation of
women to such a point as to put a
premium on celibacy. If we are to have
a social system based on the family and
the home as its primary elements, we can
never afford to offer women huge brides
to stay unmarried. Still less can we
offer inducements to idle men to marry
women who earn large sums; still less
can we place women in the position of
being able to buy miserable men to play
the part of salaried husbands to them.
Mrs. Blake n those like her aim many
deadly blows at civilization and order.
They have done much harm in the last
generation. They nave overcrowded in
dustry with women, reducing mems pay
n making marriage impossible to thou
sands. who thus lead arid youths and go
down to cold and loveless age. When
they succeed in placing woman on an
even plane with man in her actual
capacity for earning money, then they
will have achieved the aim of Hartmann
and Bergeret and Most; they will have
brought anarchy. nihilism upon the world
by process of social revolution.
