Mrs. Mary z. Lease has applied for
a divorce from her husband, Charles
Lease, in the Sedgwick county court,
on the ground of incOmpatibility, fail
ure to provide, etc. Molly Lease, as
she Is sometimes Familiarity called, is a
a very bright woman, who, in the face
Of seemingly insuperabIe obstacles,
has gained a national reputation. 1t
is not at all surprising that there
should be incompatibility between
Mrs. Lease and her Flooding husband.
She is gifted and eloquent to remark
able degree, but Of a proud and am
bilious mould, one who viii brook no
rival and whose indOminable viii is
the only law. Notwithstanding her
capabilities her detection from the
pOpulist party and principles, and her
espousal Of the cause Of the republican
party is not regretted by those thor
Oughly acquainted with the lady. It
was no loss to the peoples party and
no gain to the republican party. She
is brilliant, so was Lucifer. Her mar
itaI infelicities are her own affair, but
the people are curious, and they viii
probably give the devil her due"

The hearing Of the Porto Rican tariff
case, by the United States supreme
court, has been postponed to Deem
Der II. Congress meets on December
3, and, consequently, viii be in session
when the case is heard. 1t is to be
hoped that this fact VIII not in the
least influence the decision of the
court. But courts are not infalliable,
and In a number Of instances the de
cisions Of this highest court in the land
have been strangely changeful and
contradictory. The "Dred Scott" de
cisiOn and the Income tax" decision
are two cases in point. The interests
involved in the case now pending are

national institution. It came down to
Us from the Puritan fathers. 1t was
full Of meaning to them and should
be full Of meaning to US. The SINGER
ity Of their sacrifice Of thanksgiving
and praise cannot be questioned BY
even~the most casual reader Of Ameri-
can history. They we're a devoUt and
God-fearinR people who recognized
the providence Of God, and sincerely
believed that "every good and perfect
gift cometh down from above, from
the Father of lights IN whom there is
no variableness, neither shadow Of
turning"
They were uncomprOmising dissent
ers from the rituaIism of the establish
ed church Of England, and equally
uncompromising antagonists Of kingly
despOtism. While they were loyal to
just government they would not brook
either priest-craft or king-craft iHmat-
tiers pertaining to the conscience. For
eonscience's sake they braved old
oceans tempests and the impenetrable
gloom Of. inhospitable, wintry forests.
Before them were wild beasts and the
savage Indian: behind them the wrath
of tyrants and the power Of kings
Like Abraham Of old they had heard
the call of God-"Get thee out from
thy country, from thy kindred and
thy fathers house" They obeyed not
earthly kings, but yielded willing ODE
dience to the Majesty Of heaven.
Such we're the Pilgrim fathers. As
they had humbIed themselves in ODE
dience to 1eason and conscience. before
the Mighty One, they rose from bend
ed knee, bent in faith and love, and
stood erect to dare all dangers. They
feared not what man might do unto
them, they fed not from his face, nor
could the elements appaH. They, like
the Israelites in the exodus, were IN
der divine conductive pillar Of cloud
by day and of fire by night.
It viii be well with US, well with our
children, well with the republic if
these Puritanic virtues are mcUlcated
and encouraged, practiced and perPet-
uated by the annual observance Of
thanksgiving day. The degenerate
Jews plead to the Roman. PLATE,
against their own incompatible kingly
Kinsman, saying: ave have no king
but Caesar" The Puritans said: "We
have no king but Christ. Him We
adore. Him we praise"
Thanksgiving prOclamatiOas, both
state and national, may be, and
probably often are merely perfUnctOry
performances. The observance Of the.
day by the people themselves may be
equally PerfunctOry and formal. Let
this not be true Of Americans. Let 1t
be emancipated manhOOd's day; a day
sacred to historic memories, and full Of
"reminiscences Of divine mercies mani
fold: devoted to the relief Of the poor
and needy, and one in which to resolve
anew to remember the former days
and the ancients Of many generations -
Then stand up like men and women,
like the men and women who knelt on
the deck Of the Mayfower and stood on
Plymouth rock singing "Te Deum
laudamus"
amid the storm they sang,
And the sky heard, and the sea;
And the echOing glades Of the forests rang
With the anthem.of the free"
