DIVERSE DIVORCE LAWS.

I by 10 sure that such conclusion
IS not the Wisest that may reach at present.
These last (the institutions and obligations of
MARRIAGE have come to be SO lightly regarded that
now, at length. the least thoughtful among us are
beginning to realize the vicious tendencies in some
forty or fifty different commemorative of our com
pOsite and contradictory legislation and 10 rccoS-
nize that the facility with which the marriage rela-
lion may pe taken on ana put on is menace to
the foundations Of society and the jest of the civil
ICED world.
Ii would be well that the Church should meet
such a situation with stern front, and with legs
ldtiOn which. 50 far she Is concerned, will make
divorce increasingly difficult. If not impossible But
she must DO great deal more than that 1t will
DC quite in vain unless 10 II that those

away, and a man and wOman-a boy and girl in

out of hand without any license from the State or
warning from the Church. or any other preliminary
in fact than such conssts-must | say it?-in the
sometimes very Indifferent discretion Of the min

does not reach back good way in precautionary
discretion will be here of any substantial avail
and If we are aiming. l hope may be. TO set

TRlGUE INDIANS LEGEND.
CREATION OF THE WORLD ACCORDING
TO THEIR MYTHOLOGY.

At the meeting Of the American
Folk Lore Society, held at Columbia
University, DIR. j. p. Valentino. OF
the University Of Jena, presented the
following account of the creation of
the world, according to the mythology
# the Trigue Indians, says the New
York Times:
IL appears from this brochure Ga
pamphlet in Spanish recently brought
from Mcxicol that the Creator among
the Trigues, is called Nexhequiriac.
Before the beginning this god, in look
Ing from above, beheld the earth, a
mass of mud floating in space. and
resolved to people 1t. and for that task
ne created nine sons, called the gods
OF earth, sun. moon, light, water, air,
frost, death and hell. Then he said:
"lQu, the heat OF my body, descend
TO dry and bake, son; the god Of water
haste to %cxtinguish that heap Of
slime" The god of light obeyed, aud
the earth was heated into flame. And
Nexheqniriac cried: you. my this
vast conflagration, take my thunder
and Ely lightning, and my son, the
frost god, shall help you" Bat the
frost god made the earth too stiff, and
the water god made it too wet, SO Mex
hequiriac sent the,wind god to dry
the ground, and the sun aud moon to
give light. These two latter gods
were just alike, but the moon god
stopped to catch D rabbit, which he
crammed uncooked into his throat.
lie then FASTENED after his brother,
but has never since been able To over
take him; and, moreover, he has never
recovered from the sick ness caused by
such IA hasty meal, and remains pale
to this day, The work of improve
ment, however, proceeded. Vcgcta.
bic and animal life were created, and
man was the browning work. But the
god Of hell, jealous Of the deeds in
which he had taken no part, resolved
to corrupt mankind; and TO circum-
vent him Ne~Xiiequiriac summoned all
the Inhabitants OF the earth TO a
great festival. The god OF hell was
there. but N~eXhequiriac ordered the
musicians to create diScord upon their
instruments, and the sounds we're SO
terrible TO the unwclcomc diety that
he fled to the lower regions, from
which he never energies, except at
night, to plague mankind with visions
and dreadful Spcctcrs. But as gcner-
atoms passed. the people became so
wicked that Nexhcquiriac sent the
gods OF air, water, death and fire to
destroy the race, saving but one man
and n woman. This was done. The
man and the woman were placed in
box with certain animals and seeds.
and this box carried them safely
through the cataclysm, in which all
other life was 0bliterated. These two
persons, the T'rigucs say, were the pro-
genitors of all the people who now in
habit the en.uil.

THE ROSSER CASE.

is but poor vindicaton OF justice that the courts
OF this city have at last succeeded in oonvictng
negro soldier OF an attempt murder. Just before
this conviction white lieutenant had without cause
fired on peaceable citizen and that another murder
was not committed was not the fault OF the wretch
in uniform, who was promptly discharged, though
his offcnse was FAR more henous than that OF the
negro These incidents, taken in connection with the
acquittal OF Rosser, are lar from placing admin
i;raion OF law and order in a favorable light before
the country Rosser should have been convicted and
hanged There was nothing in his record to show
that he was any more than degraded pervert on
whom education had produced humanizing inn
preston Sympathy for his parents and family as
much their due before his crime as after The trial
a lachrymose farce in which a sworn jury forgot its
oath and It's duty to society. and took upon itself
share OF the blood guilt OF Rosser's second crime
just committed in New York. The verdict OF ac-
Quittal as great insult TO the proper military
spirit OF the army it was menace TO the safety OF
people in civil lie. Il is done and cannot be re-
called but il put the mark OF Cain upon the jury
system OF this city and fixed upon the legal PROBES
sion an odium which it should be anxious TO avoid
The murder Of Hildebrand was without a single
palating circumstance. The claim OF the assassin
that his liquor had been drugged was without the
slightest proof He had imbibed the idea from the
assault made by men OF his regiment upon the in
offensive and deienseless negro clam digger, which
had recently occurred that his uniform protected
him in the commission OF any outrage upon citizen.
This idea reflected in his boast, made in the
presence OF the dead body OF his victim, Il killed
INN ike a gentleman and soldier sirl"
The retention OF his murderous instinct and its out
break in New York should admonish our courts 10
more positive tone in the charging OF juries 1t

IS an excuse for murder and proper reason for the
aoquittal OF an assassin. The Rosser jury did lis

crime with impuniiy
1t is TO be hoped that the shortcomings in the ad-
ministraton OF justice in Rosser's case here will be

BRITISH MANUFACTURING PROB
LENS

CONSULAR REPORTS for November con-
| tans in report from Rufus Fleming, United
States Consul al Edinburgh, one OF the most
interesting contributions yet made to the discussion
OF manufacturing problems in Great Britain 1t re-
veals OF the OF the decline in British in
dustres and the difficulties which stand in the wav
CT improvement.
In the first place British machinery is now far be-
low the grade of efficiency reached by machines used
in this country. As illustration OF this the case is
cited OF a rope manufacturing company which re-
Gently made a test OF an American machine in thei-
factory. The company, it is said, had four British
machines for preparing manila fiber for rope-making
The combined daily output OF these machines did
not exceed three and half TONS and each required
two operatives. An American machine was intro
duced, costing $1,000, about the price of the British
machines 1t is worked by two operatives of the
class and receiving the pay as those work
ing the British machines, but it turns out four tons
OF the product day. and if run at full speed could
make output OF FIVE tons Moreover the product
OF the American machine is OF better quality than that
from the British Here, then, is gain OF time la
bor wages and quality of product for the American
machine, and il is clear the British machinery can
not stand against such competition.
On that showing it would seem the British would
everywhere hasten to adopt the improved machinery
and that our machinernaking establishments would
be rushed with British orders 1t appears however
there is lion in the path. The British workman is
essentially conservative and he stands in antagonsm
to the introduction of machinery that will result in
diminishing the number OF employed in anv
particular industry. The British. it must be borne
in mind have wide field for the expansion OF their
just at this time and any large increase in
the output of their manufactured goods would find
no market The extensive OF improved machin
cry would therefore the discharge OF con-
siderable number OF men, and should that be under
taken there would be strike.
The Consul quotes British engineer as saying:
eff the majority OF skilled working people in the
United Kingdom do not abate their hostility to i'm
proved machinery and take the chances of readust

ment OF the mass OF labor to the new mechanical
facilities by emigration otherwise there is trouble
ahead, the consequences of which no man can meas
ure The engineers strike, which came to- an end in
1893 threatened the entire fabric OF British industries
by shaking the confidence of the world and OF our
own people in their productive power Another
such experience would be disastrous beyond all cal
culation Our manufacturers have to face that pos
sibility | do not put it as probability, because l
am not pessimist and prefer to look at the bright
side 1t were useless, however blink the fact that
in the industrial revolution now going on, brought
about chiefly by American competition, there turks
a grave peril"
1t is indeed dire dilemma that confronts the Brit
ish manufacturer and workingman 1t appears
economic forces are already in operation which tend
to break down the fabric OF the mighty empire which
until recently completely dominated the industrial
and commercial world Great Britain can keep on
equal terms with all rivals in the machinery OF armies
and navies, but it will be so easy to withstand the
machines of peaceful industry that are beating her in
the markets OF commerce

THE RECIPROCITY TREATIES.

IN ROTESTS made by Caifornians against the
- reciprocity treaties with France and with Ia
maica, pending in the Senate for ratifica-
tion may have the effect OF defeating the treaties
but they will have that OF showing the Injustice
done the State and may thereby to prevent fur
ther injustice in making treaties with other countries
In the very nature Of things a reciprocity treaty
with France or with any other country that exports
fruits wines and nuts must be more or less injurious
10 California since IT can hardly do otherwise than
admit the exporters OF those countries 10 something
ike free competition with the California producers
That being So the State Department should be very
careful not carry such treaties too lar or 10 grant
too many concessions 1t is not fair that California
should be sacrificed the advantage of the East r
will in the end be beneficial 10 the Eastern peo
pie TO build up the wine, OIL and raisn industry
here than to get insecure market abroad bv pur
chasing it at the price OF ruin Californas rural in

In his talk with the California delegation on the
subject Commissioner Kasson who arranged the
treaty figured out that by reducing the duty on c,rr
fruits 20 Der cent there would be competition sniff
ceni 10 change the price received for the citrus fruits
OF our own country; he also maintained that the re-
duction OF duties on French wines and oil would NOT

missioner Kasson we have doubt, can be main
tained with some very brilliant argument The Com.
missioner. however, has not given concessions on
any articles that would compete with the products OF
his own State OF Iowa, and we would have preferred
the certainty OF the protection given to Iowa to the
risks Of bis peculiar reciprocity at our expense

THE MUNICIPALITIES CONVENTION

NUT of the convention OF Californian municipal
| ] ties which is to assemble in this city during
- the week there ought to come something more
than discussion, though that is likely to prove
beneficial On this coast we have Jagged far behind
the East in considering municipal problems and in
devising means OF municipal progress 1t is no dis
credit 10 us that it should be So for Improvement in
communities like improvement in individuals is de-
pendent largely upon the existence of evils that force
the improvement to be undertaken Most Californian
cities comparatively young and have not reached
the period of development which marks those of the
East that have been enterprising in the path of
progress.
While have not felt the necessity for mun-
cipa progress that has been noted in older commun-
ties it would the less be wise for us to profit by
their experience and adopt improved methods Of
municipal administration before we feel the worse
effects OF the evils from which they are now irving
to escape For that reason everything in the form
OF earnest discussion by who have practical con-
troll OF municipal matters is to be commended Much
OF the talk may be idle, but where serious men meet
to consider practical problems there is very sure TO
be much OF mutual benefit from the exchange Of
opinions.
Every municipality in the State is to some extent
seeking to improve its conditions and solve some Of
the difficulties that attend the administration of cities
The oicias OF each have therefore acquired by ex-
perience something OF administrative wisdom from
which others can learn. Moreover there is much
to be attained in the way of organizing for united
work to bring about reforms amendments in State
laws affecting cities which have been found to be un
wisely devised For all these reasons that portion Of
the people who have proper regard for municipal
issues will watch with little interest the proceed
ings OF the convention. The programme of discus
sicn has been well arranged, and the meeting will
doubtless prove profitable in many ways
