The governors council, what ia it9
This Is question often asked. by many
people the governors council is con-
founded with the governors staff, or
thought to DO useless appendage to tho
legislative body. Indeed sometimes
within recent yeoss 1t has been declared
TO be worse than useless, in that 1t has
interfered with tho FREQ action of the OK
ecutive. Tho council, however, is n rel
&c Of the old English government which
was thoroughly understood by the early
settlers, and who brought their laws
with them, so that today in all the
courts of Massachusetts Coke and Black
stono are respected authorities. And
often TO adorn tale some Of our witty
lawyers will recount an anecdote Of some
old time, vulgar, domineering judge on
the British bench.
The governor council takes the place
Of the privy council Of Great Britain.
While her majesty Victoria may appear
to rule single handed, she has not the
power. Before IN odiot Of hers can 80
forth it must have tho concurrence of
the privy council. By the fathers this
was thought 20 be a safeguard, and so,
when they appointed governor to be
over them, thoy hedge1 him about with
councillors who should advise him in
his dOings,
The council has at all times boon
chosen from tho best men Of tho state,

ture the councillors rank next to the
lieutenant governor and the members Of
the executive department. True, when
either political party might feel that
there was no chance of eleoting its NOM
inee, instead OF allowing tho Office to 20
by default any one who chose might be
allowed to run.
But in the 80 years, after careful
examination of the records, it is safe to
say that no man has been elected to the
council who had hlemish on his char
acter. Indeed there are the names Of
men who have not only won for thom-
selves distinction in our own state, but
have become SO well known and respect
cd that they will go down in the history
of the country. Boston Post

The decrease in values in the fur west
is almost uncomfortable to one who has
not been through the change from inha-
ton to depression. Hundreds of prairie
cities are finding their real estate al
most unstable. They were once 80 sure
of being the centers of the business life
for a large surrounding country that
tho fall is beyond their comprehension.
A sale of the assets of Il central Kansas
bank that failed in 1889 was held the
other day, and many lots in western
town additions that had boon part of
the bank "a assets were sold to the high
est bidder for 80 cents apiece. They had
been appraised at $40 each when the
bank failed, but as they wore on the
outskirts of place that lost its grip on
prosperity thoy had nothing to keep
them above tho Lowell of farm land.
Farms in the western part Of Nebraska
and Kansas are in the same condition.
They are not salable except where they
can be combined into large ranches and
where the owners are possessed of clear
titles. Thousands of these arc owned in
the east under the deed of sheriff,

loans that were made on them in the
halcyon days are past due, and tho
mortgages have taken their own.
This has all resulted, not from the
lack of effort, but from the fact that not
enough water has fallen in the western
third Of Kansas and Nebraska to make
the crops grow That is the whole mat
ter 1t is not bad Judgment or politics
that has driven these thousands out Of
tho Eden that they had sought, but the
failure of crops. Kansas has lost $780,
900 i'll population in this way, and the
fact has exerted depressing influence
on those who remain. II is the differ.
enco between the rising and the falling
tide. The loss has occurred entirely in
the western counties, for tho eastern
part OF the state has in the past year
gained IS, 900 in population, while the
state, as whole, has gained only 1, 900,
although the births outnumbered the
deaths by several thousands. &C. NJ.

EUGENIE DLAIRIN JANE EYRE. s.
A Refined Performance Which
Pleased the Audience.

The best that could tie said OF Eugene
Blair in her personation OF the title role
OF Jane Eyre is that it is Of the usual
quality of the performances illuminated
by her refined art and quite the equal of
her realization of the dual characters in
Mrs. Woods East Lynne" which has
established her as an emotional star.
In Jane Eyre the opportunities are
less than in the other role, and it is as an
equalized result that Miss Blair demon
strates most effectualIy her claim to rank
as our leading emotional actress. She gives
an admirably subdued, vet fOTceful, delinea-
ton OF a part which appeals by its moving
pathos, its low whisper to the heart.

Duane and Divorce

William CTeswell Doane, bishop of Al
hany. is one of the characters Of that part
OF the country. He is more like an Eng
lish High Church digHitary than the usual
American parson. He always wears knee
breeches and leggings, iow-cut shoes with
hig silver buckles and flat, wide-brimmed

as Du MaUner pictures him for us. He
has a pack OF dogs OF assorted sizes. which
are always at his heels. He is an anti
qGarian. he is also a success in his own
diocese. ana one of the most respected
men in Albany.
The bishop has lately been giving much
thought to the question OF divorce. and
by his way of stating the condition OF
some disturbance. He qnaintly remarks
that N0TmoniSm under the name OF an
other name, is rife in that town, and In
q great zeal OF society which calls itself
civilized. and that MormonisIn, under an
other name. is no Sweeter than it is, or
was. i'll Utah. His idea is that when you
agree to grant a man or woman divorce
for one cause only, you put a premium
on that cause, and the divorce follows
with logical certainty, if the parties hap
pen % want to get nd of each other. In
other words, if man or u woman can
get divorce for the cause of Infidelity,
and il the desire to he unfaithful leads to
the desire for divorce, the way out OF The
marriage bond becomes altoset her too easy.
He is much in favor of the Lairbeer
bill, now before d New York assembly
Committee, which pUnishes adultery with
a fine OF from 81 eco to So, 900 and i'm
prisonment of from one to five years.
This would punish the man as well as he
woman, and the bishop contends that as
laws at present stand the woman gets all
the disgrace and punishment and the man
none at all. He thinks that bigamy and
polygamy are pretty much the same any
way

in this country, after being assisted to

our Consul general. 1t consists OF Manuel
Martinez, a once prosperous cigar manu-

Mariners own family have been killed.
He tells a story of atrocities that make
the blood boil. In December his planta-

Spaniards without warning or provocation-
The houses were surrounded by troops and

Martinez was absent at the time, but as

LABOR LEADERS VISITED HANNA
They Refused TO State the Object
OF the Conference.

Garland, Of the AInalgamated Association
OF Iron and Steel Workers, of America,

Pennsylvania, arrived in Cleveland this

To a United Associated Presses man
President Garland said that the sole OBJ
Ject of his coming to Cleveland was to ar
range for reduced rates with the rail
roads to the coming annual convention of
tile Anal gamated Association in Detroit
next May.
However, the first thing that President
Garland and his friend Campbell did after
they arrived in the city, was to drop in

an United Associated Presses man that
his visit with Hanna was purely incidental
TO his business in Cleveland and had no
political Significance He said:

Cleveland in 1000.

To the Editor Of The Times:
In your morning issue OF today you say
of Grover Cleveland that he win be a
candidate in 1900 for the Democratic
nomination" / doubt this. That nomi-
nation cannot go TO a man not in sympathy
with the Democratic party and who is
opposed to the Chicago platform. But
Mr.. Cleveland viii probably be a Presi-
Dental nominee. He possesses the un-
bounded confidence of gold Democrats and
gold Republicans and OF the gold syndi-
cate; and he has made friends of the
politicians whose speciality IS the control
OF the religious element. This he has
done by making religious speeches at con-
ventions OF the clergy, by promoting the
submission of the Cubans to the Spanish
powers that be; and by negotiating an
arbitration treaty which, although crude,
appeals strongly to the Sentimentalism
of those who believe in peace on earth
and good will to men l am willing TO
admit that Mr Cleveland himself has never
suspected or expected such a result from
MS public efforts, and that, in choosing
Princeton for his home, he has done so
exclusively with a view to the facilities
of the place for theological studies, which
are his chief comfort and which he has
had no time for, except III the seclusion
afforded by duck hunts. But, it is easy
to see. that after he shall have spent three
or four years at Princeton, in pious medi-
tation and in writing letters favoTing the
cardinal virtues, there will be the following
classes all anxious to force him to the front
as a nominee for a third term: The gold
Democrats, the gold Republicans, the gold
and banking syndicate, the peace men,
the ''God in the Constitution" party, the
large Christian organizations, and the
clergy generally. Despite his preference
for private life, Mr.. Cleveland Will be
obliged by his conscience and the interests
of humanity and civilization to place him
self in the hands of his friends. B.
