The silly custom of printing rot in the
Congressional Record as speeches when
not a word of it was delivered in the
halls of congress should be stopped. 1t
is a waste of money, but, what is worse,
it is a method used to print campaign
literature and mail it by the tons at
the public expense. Most of it is thrown
away by the recipients. If a state or
territorial Legislature permitted men,
bers to publish whatever they liked, at
the public expense, there would be a
telling howl. But congress goes on
wasting enough money in this way at
each session to bankrupt an ordinary
state, and the deficiency in the post Of
flee department is increased by the cost
of carting the stuff all over the coun-
try. 1t is worrying enough, in all con-
science, to read in the papers some of
the speeches actually made, without
having alleged speeches prepared by a
congressman's clerk thrust at one
through the post office.

In REGARD 10 an Imposition.

The New Mexican told several days
a cripple for life, being sent to st. Vim
cents hospital in this city, and referred
to similar impositions from Albuquer-
que. Then the Albuquerque Citizen re-
plies with an editorial, claiming that as
the territory a%ppropriates "a, 500 to as
sist in the support of the institution,
and that city pays part of the amount
in taxes, she has a right to send some
true. But neither Albuquerque nor San
ia Fe has a right to burden the insti-
tuition with the support of helpless in
curables. The hospital accepts patients
who are sick and need shelter and at
t%ention, no matter from what locality,
but the hospital is not a home for help
less cripples, the halt and the lame.
The funds would soon be expended on
a few of these, and the object of the APP
preparation be defeated if applied to
such a purpose. The territory has no
institution for the care of such persons,
and their support should fall upon the
county where they reside. Albuquerque,
perhaps more than any other commune
ty, is able to take care of it's own pau
pers, and if they are improperly sent to
the hospital they must be supported
there or turned out upon Santa Fe,
which has troubles of her own. Fair
ness and honesty are called for in car
ing for such cases, and 1t is selfish, dis
honest and heartless for officials to ship
them about from pillar to post to es-
cape responsibility for their mainten-
Ance.

The Sin Was Not Second Marriage.

Cardinal Gibbons, in his ermon last
Sunday morning, said: only a few
days ago the country was shocked at a
woman in high life, who was divorced
at 3 o'clock and married again almost
before the ink was dry On the divorce
papers. This is a crime against the laws
of Jesus Christ"
The marriage of Mrs. Sloan, n of
the -four hundred of New York, to the
other millionaire, Perry Belmont, who
| supplanted her husband and caused a
divorce on the day of her second we'd
The event has happened frequently, as
reporters know, in humble life in all
American cities, and produced no shock
to the public. In many cases it is doubt
less the most decent course divorces
could take, and they are usually quite
willing not to have publicity given. 1t
is the prominence of the parties that
causes so much comment as to the pro-
priety Of the recent proceeding.
There is a good deal of silly fuss made
over the matter. The causes leading up
to the divorce constitute the immoral
act that should call for comment. When
the divorce was granted and the guilty
parties expected to continue associa-
tons, the proper thing to do was to be
married and live decently instead of
leading a life of gilded hypocrisy. The
shame of the scandal lies in the fact
that a woman had relations that COM
PEELED divorce and made marriage to
her unlawful associate the only re-
deeming act possible.
