| WASHINGTON, Feb. Sin the United
States supreme court today, the solicito
general moved to advance the hearing
of the telephone case, involving tht
validity of the Berliner patent, to ar
early day next term. 1t was important
be said, to secure an early decision o'
the case, the Bell telephone receiver
having become public property the Ber
liner and Edison patents are the only
obstacles in the way to the free use OF
the miscrophone transmitter in prao-
tical form, and with these patents out
of the way the telephone would become
much cheaper and its use would be
widely extended.
President Cleveland today sent to
congress the following message:
"In my last annual message an alluslon
was made to the lawless killing of Ger
tain Italian laborers IN Colorado and it
was added that "the dependent fsmi-
lies of some OF the unfortunate
victims invite, by their deplorsble con-
dition, gracious prov isions for their
needs" 1t now appears that in addition
to the three of these laborers who were
riotously killed, two others, who escsp-
ed death by flight, incurred pitiable
disabilities through exposure ana prive-
tions.
Without discussing the question OF
liability Of the United States on these
results, either by reason OF treaty
obligations or under the general rules OF
International law, | venture upon con-
gress the proprlety OF making
from the public treasury, prompt
and reasonable pecuniary provision
for those injured and for the
families of those killed. To aid in the
consideration of the subject, l append
hereto the report of the Secretary or
State accompanied by certain correspon-
dence which quite fully presents all the
features of the several cases. (Sigued.)

the light of very uncommon exceptions
to the general rule. The divorce law it
self is not yet forty years old in Eng
land, nor twenty years old in France.
In Italy there is no civil divorce what
ever at the present day, and the Catho-
lie Church only grants what are not
properly divorces, but annulations of
marriage, in very rare cases, and with
the greatest reluctance
Even in America every one can re-
member how divorce was spoken of and
thought of until very recently. Within
a few years it was deemed to be some
thing very like a disgrace, and certainly
a profoundly cynical and immoral pro-
ceeding. To-day we can most of US
count in our own acquaintance half a
dozen persons who have been divorced
and been married again. Whatever we
may think of it in our hearts, or what
ever our religious convictions may be
on the subject, it has become so COM
mon that when we hear of a fla grant
case of cruelty or unfaithfulness, by
which a man or woman suffers, the
question at once rises to our lips, why
does she not divorce her husband?" or,
Why does he not divorce his wife?' We
have grown used to the idea and if it
does not please us, it certainly does not
shock us. 1t shocked our fathers, but
we are perfectly Indifferent.
OF course there are many, perhaps
majority, who though not Roman Cath
with almost anything rather than go to
ually suffer much, and ask for no re-
dress. But there are very many who
have not suffered anything at all, ex-
cepting the favorite "incompatibility of
temper" and who have taken advant-
age of the loose laws in certain States
to try a second matrimonial expert
ment. In what calls itself society there
seems still to be a prejudice against a
third marriage of divorced persons, but
at the present rate of advance in civili-
zaton this cannot last long, and the old
significance of the word marriage" will
be quite lost before our youngest grand
children are dead; in other words, by
the end of the next century, at the
furthest.
There are various forms Of honorable
political dreaming and of dishOnorable
political mischief making nowadays,
which we are accustomed to call col
lectively socialism" Most of these rely
for their hope of popular success upon
their avowed intention Of dividing prop
erty and preventing it's subsequent ac-
emulation. Marriage is an incentive
of such accumulation, because it per-
petuates families, and therefore keeps
property together by inheritance. There
fore all forms of socialism are at present
III favor of divorce, as a means of ulti
mately destroying marriage altogether.
proverb says that whospever desires
the end, desires also the means. There
is more truth in the saying than moral
ity in the point of view it expresses. But
there are those who desire neither the
means nor the end to which they lead,
and a struggle is coming the Like of
which has not been seen since the begin
ming of the world, and OF which we who
are now alive shall not see the termina-
