THE GOLDEN ACTUARY.

A gentleman who writes very ably on
finance for the press of New York, from
the gold standpoint, recently observed that
it was to the credit of the members of the
Indianapolis monetary convention, that they
perceived and acknowledged their inability
to deal with the subject they were called
together to consider With this statement
there will be general concurrence.
One speaker at that convention declared
that since 1879. it had cost the nation
$339,000.0OO, to keep afloat the S34e,-
100000 OF original greenbaclls. The New
York writer above referred to observes
that 1.-The only basis for this fslsehood is
the mendacious computation" published by
the Treasury. in which the whole $2e2. .00O,-
600 Of the bonds issued by the present Ad-
ministration is charged to the greenbacks,
in defiance of the fact that nearly $780,
100000 Of their proceeds have been ex-
pended for general purposes. A correct
computation OF the greenback account
would have shown gross saving to the
nation, since 1879. OF eighteen years inter

Mr.. Moody Doubtless accurately expresses
while no one shall excel him in his ad-
miration and love for family ties, yet
conditions sometimes exist in the tre-
mendous and unreal hurly-hurly of this
modern American life which makes the
family relation not only unendurahle among
gentlemen and ladies tor TO put it better,
perhaps, among real men and real womenl
by which these relations become impossible;
and while one or more broken hearts or
shattered lives must inevitably result, that
is comparatively small retribution when
the effect OF lasting continuation OF the
hateful married relation upon the chill
dren OF the home is taken into account.
1t is. then, as we understand it, that the
great evangelist and those who believe
with him, would advise that the fateful
step be taken, whether by the mother or
the father; and when it is considered that
the step may be fatal to the happiness of
any or all concerned the ahsolufs,' need
that it be taken cautiously and in self
understanding and humiliation becomes
quite apparent.
II is doubtful if any rule can be formu-
lated for such cases, even by one whose
religious experience and pure motives
are as valuable and high as Mr.. Moody's.
II the sanctity of the married relation
is only understood when the ceremony
is performed, or, indeed, when the engage
ment to marry is first entered upon, then
the number OF divorces would become far
less numerous if they did not disappear
that young persons, or cid ones, either, for
that matter, undertaking the sacred bonds
OF the welded life, would appreciate fully
its intense responsibilities as well as its
intense happiness-responabil which
would be awful 10 attempt but for the |
peerless happiness which accompanies /
them. as if by an influence divine, and |

WHEN DIVORCE Is RIGHT.

We are inclined to believe that many
thoughtful persons will agree with Mr.
Moody, who, addressing meeting Of wives
N Boston tie other day, told them that
they had just complaint against their
susbands they should seek divorce. 1t
was objected that such advice would tend
DO break up the homes; but Mr.. Moody
replied that he gave it for the purpose
of building up the home and for the ad-
vance OF family honor. Many thought
ful persons will agree with him, we say. if
pnly it be admitted that the wife who
considers that she has been wronged or
that the family home is in danger IS
properly 70 be the Judge when righteous
patience has been exhausted.

The Big Petition About Cuba

tFrom the New York Times.)
To get 600. .0O0 persons to sign petitions
in support OF Senator Cameron's Cuban
resolutions was heartless proceeding.
The promoters of the resolutions having
pOcketed their bear profits, or being
hopeless Of passing them, have turned their
attention TO hun-drum matters. At any
rate, they appear TO have lost all interest
in Cuba, and the 100000 petitioners are
left in the Illuminating position of guests
hidden to q dinner who arrive to find their
hosts gone to bed. We think it would be
more timely and appropriate if petition
were sent Tn WashiDgton-not with coo 900
signatures, 1000 would do If they were
the right ones-praying that all kilograms
passing between Wall street and the Sen
ate chamber be published in the Congress

There are several new jokes in the AL. G.
Fields minstrel show, which gave its first
Washington performance last night at the
Columbia. That is good bit OF praise to
give to any minstrel show. There are this
years jokes and last years. and there are
jokes with well authenticated histories
and pedigrees, and there are still others
whose origin is lost in the mists OF tradi-

Trusts Due to Public Laxity.

The popular feeling against cormorant
trusts is not mere prejudice founded
on nothing. 1t is a righteous protest
against an organized greed which threatens
serious consequences to the people at
large. Combinations of this sort are un-
American, for it is un-American to place
thepeople at the mercy of such controlling
influences Men engaged in small enter
prises have as good a right to life, lib
erty, and the pursuit OF happiness as have
men who are worth their millions. And
under a government of the people, by the
people, and for the people, it is the
peoples fault if they permit themselves to
be truSt-ridden.
