ANGRY FOR THIRTY YEARS.
Because His Wife Sewed the Wrong
Button on His Vest.

BUTTON On his vest
Because Mrs. Marion w. Hatton threw
a stool at him and sewed a pants button
on his vest nearly 30 years ago, Theo-
dore Hatton wants an absolute divorce,
says the Syracuse IN. ~ Herald. The
action is brought in the state of Illinois,
and evidence is being taken in this city,
both for the plaintiff and the defendant.
The parties are well advanced down the
toboggan of time, the defendant being
upward of so years old and the plaintiff
at least as aged.
There are some interesting things
about the case. Until about 1872 the
Hattons lived near Amboy, supposedly
happy, as all married people are to be
considered until they reach the courts.
One day the plaintiff, after a quarrel
with his wife, which neither claim was
regardedmore than trivial matter, left
his home and went west. He was heard
from at various times, but no contribu-
tons to the support of his wife and
child were received.
A short time ago Mrs. Hatton heard
that her husband had brought suit for
divorce, and that judgment was about
to be entered by default. The matter
looked irregular, as Mrs. Hatton had
never, she says, received aseryice of the
papers or an intimation of the litiga-
ton until informed by an acquaintance.
An answer was put in denying the
charges made and alleging the facts as
Mrs. Hatton and the people about Am
boy remember them. 1t is said that
Hatton, since living in Chicago, his
present residence, has accumulated
some property.

HORACE WHITES MONETARY
PLAN.

Asked on what grounds, if any, he
would favor the gradual but entire
withdrawal of the treasury notes of
1890, and of the United States notes,
Horace White replied:
On the ground that there is no GER
tainty, and can be no certainty, that
the government will always redeem
them in gold. Redemption or non-re
demption is political issue, to be
fought over in elections and must re-
main so as long as this kind of paper
is outstanding. Mere uncertainty is
always a drawback to business pros
perity. Failure of redemption would
be bankruptcy, public and private.
How government notes shall be re-
deemed, or whether they shall be re-
deemed, may be a political issue, but it
is no more so than the question wheth
er they shall be retired. That they are
a constant menace to the government
in making it necessary for it to carry
large gold reserve was plainly shown
in Mr.. Cleveland's second administra-
ton, when bonds were issued to get
Were the same forces at work now that
were then, it would be just as easy to
force bond issues, for there are large
deficits under the present administra-
ton, as we'll as under the last.
1t is evident from what Mr.. White
says that he believes that if the green
backs (using that as a general term for
all government paper money! We're re
tired and the country placed on a gold
basis and the issuing of paper money
made function of national banks, the
financial question would be settled.
What assurance OF this is there? Mr..
White and those who hold views SIM
liar to his are agitating for, suhstan
TALLY, the same plan that he outlines
in his interview; the advocates of free
silver are agltating for their plan;
While the PoDulists are agitating for
still another but all wanting something
different from what exists. Should the
plan of any one succeed, would not the
others continue their agitation until
they had succeeded or had proven that
there was no hope of success?
The financial question cannot be
taken out of politics until all the peo-
pie are convinced that there are no
evils arising from Inherent defects in
the system. The silver men think there
are grave defects in the plan advocated
by Mr.. White, while he and those who
think as he does think there are grave
defects in the plan of the silver men.
Experiment alone with the plans can
absolutely determine their merit. The
silver men will always maintain that
the issuing of money is proper func-
ton of government, While the gold men
who think with Mr. White hold that it
is not, that all the government should
do is TO certify the fineness and weight
of metallic money.

DIR. HARPER ON MILITARY
DRILL.

President Harper of the University
of Chicago, has formulated plan for
military drill among the students OF
the university. He says that a num-
Der of students and members of the
faculty have been suggesting for some
time that the university take advan-
tage of the governments offer to place
army officers and arms for the students
in educational institutions. Several
things favor such proceeding at pres
emit says President Harper. "The at
tainment of a military bearing and of
military habits is a good thing. But
the idea of a university guard on pub
lie occasions appeals strongly to me.
1t would hardly do for the faculty to
go out with cap and gown and parade
the streets. We should be proud to
have a we'll uniformed and we'll
dressed company represent us instead.
1 attended an oriental congress in
France, and was struck with the fact
that wherever we went there was a
military guard for us. I have never
been believer in militarism, but there
was a tone in the presence of the troops
that might be introduced into the func-
lions of the university with profit"
That which has captured DR.. Harper
and made him an advocate of forming
his students into military companies,
is the fact that while he was in France
he was surrounded by a military
guard. 1t seems to have impressed him
with his own Importance, a thing, pre-
sumably, that his students are not
sufficiently impressed with. According
to his idea there would not have been
nearly so much tone to the members of
the oriental congress if they had not
been surrounded with a guard. DR..
Harper neglects to say whether the
guard was composed of the gems d.
armes or of the regular soldiers. If the
former, then the proper thing for the
Chicago university students to do is to
form themselves into a police brigade
and when the faculty go out with cap
and gown AMI parade the streets a
students police guard could go along.
But why should the president and fac
ulty of the great University of Chi
cago go out with cap and gowns and
parade the streets? Are not the cap
and gowns but taking on of medieval
ways, more of an aping than anything
else? Perhaps they give tone to those
who wear them.
If DR.. Harper is correctly reported
his reason for wanting his students to
form military companies is for show
and nothing else The University of
Chicago should have got beyond what
DR.. Harper advocates in this particular
1t may be proper for high schools but
not for universities.

In the fail of 1876 Robert Damren lived

him that a lady of Norridgewock had
