The Needs Of the Nation.

The fifth annual report Of the board
of directors of the Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION Of New York is quite unlike
any Of it's preceding reports in it's exult-
ant tone and hopeful outlook 1t sum-
marizes the prosperity Of America in
this trenchant style: "a decade ago
France, Germany and the United King
dom each exceeded the United States
in commercial prosperity, the exports
Of the United Kingdom being more than
double our own. Now, however, our ex-
ports of domestic merchandise exceed
those of Great Britain, and for the fiscal
year Of 1898 we stand as the only coun-
try whose exports are double the amount
Of imports. The wealth Of the United
States is estimated at $61,750, 600, 900,
which is more than seven times greater
than that of Spain, double that Of Ger
many, 2R times greater than that of
Russia, nearly double that of France,
equal to the combined wealth of Russia,
Italy and Spain, and $22, 72O, 900, 900
larger than that of Great Britain, to
whose shipowners we annually pay
about $3.50, 000, 900. Our domestic COM
MERGE, coastwise and on the great lakes,
rivers and canals, is the largest in the
world, and 219 times greater than that
of the commerce Of the entire United
Kingdom. The report closes by point
ing out what, in the estimation of the
manufacturers, are the five great needs
of the nation. They are stable cur
rency, an international banking system,
a canal connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cific oceans, an American merchant
marine and suitable navy to protect
it in any part Of the globe.

Judge Peabody of St. Louis recently
delivered very remarkable decision in
a case of wife beating In effect he
announced that in certain conditions a
husband has a right to knock his wife
down. His exact words, as reported in
the st. Louis papers, are: "In this case
the wife was more guilty than the hus-
band for trying to contradict and thwart
her husbands will in the presence of
the children, thus setting them a bad
example, which he had right to re-
buke. There are times when woman
irritates her husband to such an extent
that he cannot control himself and uses
his hand or fist. AS long as no serious
harm is done, I don't believe in punish
ment. This decision is so fatty op-
posed to popular sentiment as to be al
most startling. But it is at the same
time strictly in accordance with the
traditions of the English common law
and sounds very much like an echo of
the eighteenth century.

A Lexington ono. editor has made
what is really brilliant suggestion
with regard to the question of the wo-
men wearing their hats in church. He
advises return to the good old custom
OF having the women sit on one side of
She church and the men on the other, by
which primitive plan the women only
would get the benefit of their own hats.
In order to make this plan successful,
all the women who take their hats off
in church should be permitted to sit
with the men. This is the most original
suggestion that has yet been made to
solve the hat question.

An incident Of social interest is con-
veyed in the announcement that Sena-
tor Chauncey Depew has taken the
Corcoran mansion in Washington.
There are few houses in Washington,
with the single exception of the White
House, which have more brilliant So
cial history. The house is on Lafayette
square and always attracts the attention
Of visitors by the absence of any en-
trance on the street side, it being nee
essary to enter through the rear garden.
The house was built at the beginning
of the century, and has all the old
immortal peculiarities-large halls and
spacious rooms with floods Of light and
plenty Of air. It's first tenant was Dan
lei Webster, who, as a notable enter
tainer, began it's social history. During
the civil war the house was empty be-
cause it's owner was a southern sympa-
thizer. 1t was then rented to the French
minister, who began a series Of magnif-
cent entertainments under the liberality
of Louis Napoleon that are remember
ed to this day in the capital It was at
those entertainments that most of our
generals during the civil war appeared,
and there also the beautiful Kate
Sprague and Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas
were prominent attractions. Afterward
the late Senator Brice leased the estate,
and he took up the social functions with
renewed liberality, adding to them mu-
steal entertainments at which all the
greatest artists of the world appeared,
including Adelina Patti. Senator
Chauncey Depew, whose we'll known
social talents are so varied, is expected
to take up the proper role of this man
sion and carry out its historic pro-
gramme next winter.

Increase Of Divorces n Society.


The increase of divorce -ases in the
London courts is attracting attention.
Six hundred and eighty three suits were
entered last year, and that was an in
crease Of 25 per cent over the figures of
the previous year. This year there are
72O petitions for absolute divorce. This
increase is not quite as great as that
ehown in France, but it is sufficient to
alarm the moralists. 1t seems that the
petitions are mostly from husbands, and
it should be remembered that the Eng
lish law gives divorce to husband for
unfaithfulness only on the part of the
wife, whereas wife, in order to secure
relief, must prove both unfaithfulness
and cruelty. That there is marked
change taking place in the public mind
with regard to the sacredness and per-
petuity Of marriage is unquestioned. AS
an instance of it may be cited the case
Of the Rev. William E. Chalmers Of the
Parmly Baptist church, Jersey City. On
March ~ Pastor Chalmers preached a
sermon from the text of Matthew xix,
6: "Wherefore they are no more twain,
but one flesh. What, therefore, God
hath joined together, let no man put
asunder. :" The sermon preached upon
these words held to the perpetuity and
inviolability of marriage, and the
views thus expressed produced so much
dissatisfaction in the congregation that
Mr. Chalmers was forced to resign. It
should not be said rashly that this indi-
Gates laxness of morals. It is rather
an indication that the world at large is
growing to the opinion that if man
and woman cannot live happily togeth-
er, and their marriage is not bene-
fetal to the community, they had bet
ter separate. This is not religious
view. 1t is simply an expression of the
polite common sense of mankind.

DEFENDED HER HUSBAND.
Kentucky Woman Uses a Shotgun With
Fatal Effect.

Middlesboro, KY, Jan. 28.-A
tragedy that occurred near here
early this morning had its origin
several months ago and tested the
heroism of the mountain women of
Kentucky.
Whitecaps attempted to take Jim
Jackson, a we'll known mountain
farmer, from his home to ch4stise
him. Mrs. Jackson went to his res
cue with double-barrelled shotgun
with the result that one of the mask
ed men was killed outright and au-
other mortally wounded.
The story of the tragedy began
last fall, when Jackson had falling
out with his neighbor, Will Wright,
over some seed land, and, getting
into an alterc alton, jackson knocked
Wright down. Since then they
have been enemies and Wright has
made repeated threats against Jack
son, it is said.
Shortly before midnight last night
several masked men, heavily armed,
went to Jackson's house, and, after
battering down the door, dragged
Jackson from his bed out into the
yard and began beating him. They
had not proceeded very far with
their chastisement when his wife ap-
peared with shotgun and demand
cd her husbands release. The white
caps paid no attention to Mrs. Jack
son, and she fred on them. One of
the men fell dead and another was
probably fatally wounded. The
others fed.
Investigation proved that the
dead man was Wright. One of the
whitecaps, is believed to be badly
injured. The identity of the others
has not been learned. The scene of
trouble is on Walters creek, Harlan
county.
Mrs. Sackson has not yet been ar
rested, and the sentiment is strong
in her behalf and it is doubtful if
officers will be permitted to take
her.
