DIVORCE.

For a lady of her character. position
and age, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
takes rather liberal view on the
subject of divorce. Some might per
haps even say that her views border
on laXity.
She discusses the matter frankly in
the current issue of the North Ameri-
can Review, aud suggests that women
should be represented on the commits
sions proposed in the various states
to remodel the marriage and divorce
laws, since the interest of women in
marriage and divorce is fully as great
as that Of the men, if not greater. If
judges and bishops are placed ON
these commissions she is convinced
that their disposition would be to make
the laws more restrictive than thew
are now-since the men of these call
ings are proverbially conservative
and thus render it more difficult fol-
wives to escape from unhappy mar
riages
Mrs. Stanton believes in large free
dom of divorce. She says the states

which have liberal divorce laws are to
women what Canada was to the run
away slaves before emancipation. She
looks at it from the woman's stand
point, and believes that the woman is
more often the victim of ill-assorted
marriage than the man. The man, If
he is unhappy in his domestic reia-
tions, has a recourse and a soIace in
the world outside; but to the average
woman the family life is all, and if
this is unhappy her whole life is
clOuded.
Mrs. Stanton holds that the mere
reading of the marriage service does
not signify that God hath joined the
couple together, and that only those
marriages which are harmonious,
where the parties are really COM
panions to each other, are in the high
est sense made by the Divine Ruler.
But what shall we say" she asks, of
that large class of men and women
who marry for wealth, position, mere
sensual qualification, without any real
attraction or religious sense of loyalty
toward one another? You might as
we'll talk of the same code of regula-
ton for honest, law-abiding citizens
and for criminals In our state prisons
as for these two classes. The former
are law to themselves, and need no
iron chains to hold them together. The
other class, having no respect for law,
Will defya all constitutional provisions"
Her conclusion is that the pretensions
Of the church and the Bible" should be
eliminated from the question; that the
scriptures sanction divorce and polyg-
amy and are full OF contradictions
while the canon law has been pliable
in the hands of ecclesiastics, enforced
or set aside at the behest of kings and
mobiles. The discussion, she thinks,
should be confined wholly to the civil
law, and divorce should be regarded as
purely state question.
Rather inconsistency Mrs Stanton
opposes an amendment to the federal
constitution authorizing congress to
pass uniform marriage and divorce
law for all the states. Her ground of
opposition is that the demand for this
reform emanates from those who con-
slider the present divorce laws too lib
eral. We may infer, she says, that
the proposed national law is to place
the whole question on the narrowest
basis, rendering null and void the
laws that have been passed in a
broader spirit.

CANTON, THE PARIS OF CHINA.
The Gay Life and Color Of Its
Streets.

The narrow, eyil-smelling streets OF
Canton are picturesque, fascinating,
wonderful. Some of them bear high
sounding names, such as: The Street Oh
Reposing Dragons, the Street of Salut-
ing Dragons, the Street of One Hundred
Grandsons, the Street OF One Hundred
Thousand Grandsons, the Street OF
Golden Profits, the Street of Golden
Flowers, the Street Of Ten Thousand
Happinesses. Others are more simply
dubbed: Old Clothes street, Physic
street, New Green Pea street Only
eight or nine feet in width, paved, but
lacking sidewalks, and impossible for
wagons or carriages, these tiny alleys
glow with color, TEEN with busy life,
and to the eyes of a foreign devil offer
innumerable novelties.
The fragility and the insignifcance
OF most Cantonese buildings make it
difficult to realize that the city dates
back two centuries before the Christian
era. 1t has, to be sure, many times
been almost destroyed by fire, but the
surrounding wall and several Of the
pagodas are known to be very old.
To all streets in the shop district a
festal air is given by colored signboards
decorated with golden characters,
which, on projecting iron bars, hang
lengthwise. To their somewhat be-
wildering blaze are added the blue OF
cotton clothes worn by hustling,
bustling crowd, the varied hues of silks
in which mandarins are clad, and the
gay banners, flags, lanterns and UNI
brellas held aloft in the procession al
ways escorting the sedan chairs Of their
eXcellencies. These streets, the most
characteristic and interesting in the
city, are lined by two-story buildings,
supporting on their roofs lattice work
Of bamboo poles, on which rest mats
capable Of being pushed back and forth
as the weather suggests. At night slid
ing shutters furnish protection, but
while daylight lasts the entire front Of
these doorless, windowless shops is
thrown open. This arrangement adds

Washington, March 1.-Two ar
guments were presented in which
almost antipodal positions were
taken by two senators. Mr.. Tel
Ter (sii. rep. COLI in a brief speech,
maintained the constitution could not
extend over territory acquired by
the United States, while Mr.. Turner
(rep., Wash.) deliberately contended
that the constitution embraced ac-
quired territory the very moment the
United States took permanent posses
sion of it. Senator Teller held this
government could make outlying ter
ritory into states or could hold it as
colonies as it saw fit, while Senator
Turner maintained the United States
could not hold colonies or dependeu-
cies. Aside from constitutional ques-
lions. the two senators were in prac-
teal agreement. Both were opposed
to the pending bill and both objected to
any Of the insular territory becoming a
part Of the United States or any Of its
inhabitants citizens of the United
States.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, March 13.-Personal ex-
plantations were made by Senators
Allen (pop., Neb.) and Butler (dem..
5. CO. of the positions on the financial
question. Both announced their belief
in the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of Is to /. Senator
Turner (rep., Wash) began an ex-
tended speech on the Porto Rican bill.
He maintained that the pending meas
ure clearly was unconstitutional and
expressed his belief that it would be
so held if passed upon by the supreme
court
Washington, March 13.-The last
legislative step in the enactment Of the
financial bill was taken by the house
when the conference report on the bill
was adopted by a vote of 166 yeas to
100 nays, present and not voting ten.
The senate had already adopted the
conference report so that it remains
only for President Mckinley to affix
his signature to the measure to make it
law. The debate on the report con-
tlnued throughout the day, Mr. Over
street opening and Mr. Brosius (rep.,
PENN closing in support of the meas
ure, while Mr. Little (dem.. Ark
closed in opposition, with a severe
arrangement of the bill Mr.. Williams
(rep., lid asked whether it would be
possible in case an international bimet-
allie agreement were reached to es-
cape paying the refunded 30-year 2
per cent. gold bonds in gold, and such
being the case, whether the bill could
be considered an encouragement to the
international bimetallism. The bonds
could be paid only in gold,' responded
Mr. Overstreet This gold holds out
not the slightest hope Of international
bimetallism under present conditions
| say frankly this bill will make it
practically and absolutely impossible
even to have international bimetal-
lism at the ratio of Is to l." Nine

to agree to the report, viz: Messrs.

HARD ON WEEKLIES.
Startling Condition Wrought by Pre-.
vailing High Prices.

Waukegan, Ill, March 1.-THE re-
cent great increase in the cost Of paper
and other printing material, besides
the increased wages demanded by the
local typographical union, has worked
hardship to newspapers in this Sec
ton. Several have suspended publi-
cation recently, among them the Wau-
kegan Democrat, North Chicago
Times and McHenry Journal, country
weeklies. The Waukegan Gazette has
increased its advertising rates and de-
creased the size of its daily and semi
weekly edition. The Waukegan Sun
has increased it's advertising rates,
discontinued its suburban daily sup
piement and increased the subscrip-
ton to the weekly from 81 to $3.50 per
year. Both dailies would advance
their subscription lists did they not
fear loss of circulation which would
onset the increase. There is not now
a democratic organ in Lake county.
