French Marriage Laws.

The formalities preceding marriage
in France, which have hitherto been
of formidable character, have been
modified no doubt in view of the
dwindling population of the republic.
Men over 25 and women over 81 can
now be united without the consent of
their parents, after presenting single
respectful notification of their intent,
and waiting one month before pro-
ceeding to extremes. Consuming
parents are no longer obliged to have
recourse to notary and formal deed,
but may go to the municipal'of and
register the permission free of cost.
When the parents are divorced the con-
sent of the innocent party will suffice,
and when they are dead, missing or i'm
prisoned. n mere oath, duly attested,
will serve in place of legal proof

DRIFT OF OPINION.

CTOhio republicans are still wonder
| ing why John Il. Mclean should be con-
suited as to the affairs of the repub-
lican party of Ohio.-Cleveland Leader.
ryThe silverites who have formed n
conspiracy against Secretary of the
Treasury Gage, with the purpose of
trying to drive him from the cabinet,
are likely to discover that they have I'M
dertaken big job.-Cleveland Leader.
GyThe prophets of evil boldly an
nounced that pass the Dingley bin and
our exports will rapidly diminish"
Well, we passed the Dingley bill, and
our exports for November, 1897, foot up
S11G,G 200, which was just S7,557,4S1
greater than infNovember of 1896. De-
cember promises greater increase
Chicago Inter Ocean.
rTIt is a striking and interesting fact
that the first year of the presidential
term of President Mckinley is signal
lied by the expectation to Europe of
American tin plate, whose manufac-
ture in the United States was brought
about by the high protection given to
that industry by the law bearing his
name and framed under his manage
ment as chairman of the house COM
mittee on ways and means.--Cincinnat
Commercial Tribune.
CJRemarlsing upon Mr.. William ].
Bryan's apparent constant obtrusion
of himself upon the public" Senator
Tillman, of South Carolina, one of his
admirers, says: at is very har,l for so
prominent man to hide his light under
a bushel." Nobody wants him to "hide
his light under bdshcl." His trouble
is that he is trying to blow out all the
other lights in the universe, including
the MONDAY sun, just to give his candle
a chance.-Chicago Tribune.
GAS slight token of its regard for
the men, and also rs aslight testimonial
to the Mckinley administration, the
Alabama Coal company has raised the
wages of its 1000 employees about 20 per
cent, the advance to Ro into effect on
January 1. incidentally it may be men
toned that there is an extraordinary
demand for coal throughout the manu-
featuring districts of Alabama this sea-

the severity Of the weather.-Chicago

EyThat S155,o00,000 gold fund in the
treasury is fine illustration of the feel
ing of financial security which prevails.
At one time during the Bryan canvass
the reserve was down to 500, 000,0 GOO, and
everybody who had my means of fore
ing gold out of the treasury used It.
Just now any sort of paper money Is
preferable to gold to the average man.
Thus the gold drifts to the banks and
the treasury. The banks seem to have
more of ii than they know what to do
with, while the treasury hoard is grow
ing at the rate of over 81 900, 900 week.
That prediction of treasury official
that the reserve would reach S170,000,-
900 or s1s0,0Oo,ooo before the expected
winter gold outflow starts is not unreal
sonable.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
