HUBBY WAS A FOOL
He Said He Was in "A State of ImbeciIity
When He Married.


Cleveland. O.. March 12.-One Of the
most unusual and sensational petitions
involving the relations of husband and
wife ever seen in the courts was filed
in the court Of common pleas yesterday
morning. II was not in the shape OF a
divorce petition. nor was the woman
in the case sued under the married name
she claims. but the court was asked 10
set aside and annul an alleged pretended
marriage which the supposed husband
repudiates.
John Campbell. who Is living with his
mother on Franklin avenue, is the plain
tiff. He is a young man Of perhaps a
little more than thirty years. His peti-
ton is short. but filed with surprising
statements. Campbell sues Idella Bittle
a West Side woman. not FAR from his
own age. He declares that for three
years prior 70 September, 1895. he was IN
a condition Of practical imbec-llty and
was not accountable for his own acts.
He alleges that during January OF 1885,
while he was in this condition. Ideila
Bittle and others. having in view an
inheritance he may one day receive, in
duced him TO submit 70 a pretended cer-
emony OF marriage. after which Miss
Bittle asserted herself 20 be his WIFE
Campbell declares that this union was
no marriage at all. because from his
weakened and enfeebled condition he
was not responsible or a A. person .

asks the court 20 50 declare 20 aunul

Since making fine points of law in the
matter of selling foreign newspapers
appears to be the order of the day, it
will be we'll for the members of the Sal
walton Army to take care that they are
properly protected. Under the revision
of the law, by the act that has just
passed the Legislature, any person sell
ing the War Cry in the manner it has
been sold upon the streets is liable to
arrest and fine. We know of no one
who would be inclined to decrease the
revenue derived by the Army from the
sale of their papers, but at the same
time the law makes no provision to ex
empt them from paying license.

A London magazine remarks that it
is rather startling to learn that Rev.
John Watson, the Presbyterian minis
ter who has won fame as the creator
of "Drumtochty," is not Scotchman at
ALL He was born in Manningtree, Es-
sex, so that he is not even North
countryman. But he was educated in
Perth, Stirling and Edinburgh, and his
first, parish was Logielmond, a village
between Perth and Creiff, which is the
original of ''Drumtochty." He only
stayed three years in the parish. 1t is
twenty years since he quilted it for
Southern charge, and it was only the
other day that on the appeal of DR..
Robertson-Nicoll he resurrected his
in the story which has
obtained such worldwide celebrity.

Before the people can form correct
opinion upon the tax system of the
country, Prof Rontgen's x ray or some
other ray ought to be applied on the tax
returns as they exist to-day. There is a
general feeling that something is
wrong, and the major portion of the
burden of criticism is placed upon the
planters This may be just, and it may
not A community can evolve theories
for the solution of problems, but the
theories do more harm than good, until
there is something more than vague
impression to work from. Facts and
figures are what is needed, if satisfac-
tory and reasonably correct conclu-
sions are to be drawn

to make the present statutes effective,
While it may be looked upon as relic
of monarchical rule, the fact still re-
mains that we have a peculiar condition
to face, and must use the best possible
methods at hand in dealing with it.
We have now a large proportion of our
population who are escaping taxation
merely from the lack of ability to keep
run of them 1t is estimated that the
registration of the population will in
crease the revenue of the country by at
least 10000, and the chief of the tax
bureau is authority for the statement
that the amount realized will be even
larger. 1t is clearly demonstrated that
the expenses of carrying out the law
will be more than covered by the in
come derived from the enforcement of
the registration. The opposition that
has arisen on the ground that the law
will work a hardship on account OF
being required to have their
papers on hand when
travelling from one part of the
to another is decidedly trivial
when the general benefits to the Ameri-.
can, the Hawaiian and the European
are taken into account. 1t is not for
the particular discomfort experienced
by law-abiding citizens that the meas
ure is advocated, but rather for their
protection from the inroads of those
classes who will attempt and now sue
coed in evading the existing statutes.

The community has been

of goods sold by US. Our
warning against high prices
for inferior goods is also hav-
ing effect. One result ap-

We make one point that
is worth noticing. We fix a
price on our merchandise
which we consider a living

THE REGISTRATION LAW.

. The vital question in the Registra-
ton. Act now before the Legislature is
whether the Anglo-Saxon and the la
waiian is to be protected against the
/, .inroads of the Asiatic. The assertion
has been made time and again, and the
general trend of affairs in this country
general trend of affairs in the country
try is at the parting of the roads, and
is to so either to the Asiatic or the
AngIo-Saxon. Oriental competition has
made a1d is making it's power felt in
manner that there is no mistaking.
Merchants feel it, mechanics feel it, day
laborers feel it. No one with an eye
half open to the conditions that sur
round US can fail to appreciate the fact
that further legislation is required to
continue the present equilibrium among
the laborers of the country and bring
about state of affairs more favorable
to the advance of the American and the
European.
The Chinese restriction laws passed
in 1892 stand in evidence of the convic-
ton of the people of this country that
the time has come when the agricul-
tural labor Of the country must be kept
within certain bounds. No one with the
best interests of the country at heart
has opposed the restriction laws already
on the statute books, and we fail to see
why there should be opposition to sup
Elementary laws that will result in more
effectually carrying out present stat
utes The act restricting Chinese immi-
grafton passed in 1892 provides that mo

tives by marriage or blood residing in

cupatfon other than domestic service
or agricultural labor in the field or in

This law also provides that when any
Chinese shall cease to follow the voca- !
lions designated he shall leave the
country.
This is the law, and we take it for
granted that it is acceptable to the body |
polite of the nation. After this law has
been in operation about three years it |
is stated by the planters that Chinese
coming to the country under it's provis-
ions are constantly deserving the plant

knows There is no way of tracing
them. During the last three or four
months about 1900 Chinese laborers
have been brought to the country for
the plantations, and of that number
fifteen or more have deserted and can
not be found. 1t is well known that these
men did not desert in order to go to an
other plantation.
So far as the Chinese are concerned,

RUSSIA MOVES FORWARD.
the Deprecated Silver Money
Standard and Adopts Gold.


After more than half a century's ex-
rrierce with silver monometallism and
flat money Russia has adopted the gold
standard.
This has been done in pursuance OF
Russia's determination to press forward
in the march Of the nations.
In 1889 the silver rublc was estab-
lishcd by imperial decree as tho legal
ard unaltcrable metallic unit Of The
money current in the Russian empire. .
Russia has found that she cannot keep
the pace of other great nations with Il
silver standard and has therefore
changed to the gold standard.
Silver Will still be freely used i'll the
Husaian currency as it is in J. cur
roncy f all nations which have tho gold
standard, and $40, Geo, coo ounces or
silver are 10 be purchased TO take tho
rlacc If about oue-fourth Of the Russian
paper currency.
The adoption CT tho gold standard
will therefore rosalt il a great i'm

that country. twenty-five years ago the
Russian rublo had a purchasing power
Of ~ cents il gold. 1t has fallen to
about 10 cents, owing 70 tho immense
increase il the production Of silver and

Russia has acted wisely in abandon
