time than il took Mrs. II. to find that
she could not live any longer with Mr..
H., and will be hunting in other pas

The one popularity of this episode
which society does not seem at all dis
posed to consider is the magnanimity of
Mr.. Higginson toward the fugitive pair.
At least it does not rightly or thorough
ly appreciate the remarkable conduct
of Mr.. n. Ordinarily under such cir
cumstances the husband rushes into
the courts for relief by divorce, or he
grieves for a time and then shoots him
self, or he rushes after the fugitives
and shoots them. Mr., Higginson, how
ever, does not belong to any OF those

THE ISSUE AT HOME.

We do not share the Inter Mountains
anxiety as to the composition of the
delegation of Missouri democrats
convention at Chicago. Missouri
democracy is for free coinage.
That states sentiment happens
not to be faithfully reflected in
the Fifty-fourth congress-only five of
Missouri's fifteen districts are repre-
somewhat famous Eighth district has
a republican representative who plays
a part so Insignificant that his
name is unknown to ninety-eight per
cent. of newspaper readers.
Unless misleading reports have been
spread. Missouris delegation to Chica-
go will be for silver. This we say on
the strength of what is published in
newspapers that are supposed faith
fully to reflect the current sentiment of
the state of Missouri. These newspa-
pers speak in praise of Mr.. Vest, who
has been in the federal senate since 1879
and who is warmly praised by several
leading journals in Missouri whose
good will is worth having.
We believe that, at Chicago, Missouri
will be all right What most concerns
us is the attitude Montana re-
publicans will take at st. Louis; we are
ready to believe that our evening con-
temporary in Butte shares the Stand
ards anxiety on that score. For in
stance. If Governor Mckinley is nomi-
mated. as now seems likely, what will
our republican neighbors do? Or, IL
the nomination happens to go to Harri-
son or Reed. how can either of them
claim support in Montana?
We raise these questions. because It
is more pertinent to know Montana's
intention than to query about Missouri
constituencies. Our hope is that Mon
tana's delegation will fly the freedom
age flag at st. Louis and never desert
IT. As for Montana democracy, the
Standard will insist that it's Chicago
delegation be for silver-to the point of
walking out of the convention II free
coinage is voted down. A presidential
situation is not to be trified with. yet,
Captain Shepherd. II need be, is this
newspapers man for first place rather
than any candidate in the administra-
look in Missouri, how does this sug-
gestion strike our Granite-street con-
temporary?

A STRANGE WEDDING.

In "A Midsummer Nights Dream
Shakespeare did not exaggerate the
possibility of love between normal, or
monstrosities. In New York last week
a young and pretty white girl, of more
than ordinary brightness and intelli-
gence IL is said, was married to a mis-
shapen and horribly ugly negro dwarf
His deformities are such that he can
not even walk, and his general resem-
blance to an animal is so pronounced
that for years he has filled the posi-
ton of a museum freak. More than all
that, he is idiotic.
1t seems inconceivable that a girl in
her right mind would marry such a
being. Perhaps she isn't in her right
mind. The assertion of a prominent
New York brain specialist a short time
ago that love is form of insanity may
contain a large element of truth. 1t is
soon not only tire of her husband but
view him with all the horror and dis
gust of which her nature is capable.
Another strange feature of the case is
that a minister of the gospel could be
found willing to unite such a couple in
clergyman who performed the cere-
mony in this case was a negro, whose
intelligence apparently is of a grade
not much above that of the bride
groom He says in excuse of his con-
duct that he was informed by the
couple that they had already assumed
marital relations and purposed living
| together whether legally married or
| not. although much preferring to be
made husband and wife in due and
proper form. But even IL this story
were true no clergymen would be JUS
titled in hallowing such an unnatural
and abhorrent union with the rites of
religion.
Such marriages from the very nature
of things are rare. but marriages in
a disparity in mind. in temperament,
in tastes. in amoition, are unfortunate
all too common. The blindness of love
is proverbial. and there seems to be no
sure and certain remedy--even educa-
tion and refinement are not always
efficacious. The best plan probably is
for parents to let their children mingle
freely with other children of the oppo-
site sex from babyhood up to the end
that the fictitious glamour surrounding
the oppoSite sax NAV so far as rOsSihla
be dissipated. and a young woman
may judge a young man on his merits,
and vice versa

The Maybrick case seems to be quite

Any news of a real revival of bust
ness, no matter what part of the coun-
try 1t comes from, will be welcomed by
fair-minded men, no matter what their
politics. The Cleveland papers bring
the interesting intelligence that 1896 is
likely to be the greatest year in the his
tory Of shipbuilding on the great lakes.
Boats are in process of construction
costing in the aggregate more than So
100000. These include passenger steam
ers costing as high as s375.O0O apiece.
A fleet of twenty steel boats is being
built costing 100000 apiece, and in fact
every kind of lake craft from the To-
foot tug to the 43s-foot freighter. A
larger force of workmen is employed in
the shipyards on the lakes than ever
before i'm their history. All this indi-
Gates a belief that the lake business is
to be very largely increased.

luncheon Emperor William had a long
conversation with the Marquis di Ru-
DIM, Admiral Brin, minister of marine,
and the Duke of Sermoneta, minister of
foreign affairs. while King Humbert
conversed with Baron Won Bulew, the
German ambassador at Rome, and
Count Won Culiffberg, German ambas-
sador to Austria, Empress Augusta
meanwhile talking with the Italian
minister. Emperor William accompa-
MED the party ashore. amid salutes.
Afterwards they made a tour of the
basin. The emperor and empress of
Germany left Venice on a train for
Vienna, while King Humbert and
Queen Margarhita returned to Rome.
King Humbert conferred upon the
young crown prince, William of Ger
