impressed that superficial affections
will not stand the wear and tear Of do
mestic struggles, and that the only true
union is grounded in kindred of soul,
sympathy in spirit and in aspiration,
there would not be so much for the
divorce court to do. Not legislation,
but moral training that reaches the
heart is the remedy. The wife is the
home maker, and it is her fault if the
home over which she presIdes is not the
hsppiest placs for her husband to spend
his time; The husband must likewise
protect, support and encourage the
wife. Each must trust and respect the
other, or dlssension is certain to ensue.
The scandal 'monger and mischief
maker, the bane of the young wife's
existence, should be firmly shown the
door when her poisonous shadow in
trudes itself into the domestic circle
Let mothe and fathers fill the minds
CT the young folks with these princi-
pies before it Is too late. Let them be
preached from every pulpit, until the
very name OF divorce court becomes
odious, and marriage is undertaken
only after the soberest reflection, and
then with determination to live up to
the standard set forth IN the sweetest
days Of the Iove'dream. Like the liquor
evil, the divorce evil is a moral ques.
ton, and prohibitory laws aggravate
as often as they alleviate.

Phases of the Situation

Phases Of the Situation.
LEXINGTON, KY, Feb. Colonel
Breckinridge's latest editorial in the
Lexington Herald" a leading Democratic
anti-Goebel paper. written after he learn
ed that Goebel had been sworn in as gov
ernor. says: The editorial in this morn
ings issue Of the Herald was written be-
fore it was known that Mr.. Goebel had
taken the oath OF governor and had ap-
pointed Gen. John B. Castleman as his
adiutant general OF course the action ia
ken by the Legislature in declaring Mr..
Goebel governor is unconstitutional and IL
legal. II brings to an issue the questions
involved and is a verifcation Of the fears
expressed in the editorial written before
II was known.
The appointment Of General Castleman
as adjutant general may well lead to the
fulhllment Of the hopes expressed therein.
With General Collier, who is a trained SOL
dier. a citizen who loves his State and
her people. a law-abiding man. as COM
mander on the other side. it may well be
hoped that such adjustment may be made
as will prevent the shedding Of blood and
the horrors Of a fraternal warfare.
while in the act OF writing this. at
1890 o'clock, a telegram was received
from General Castlensn, in answer to an
enquiry as to whether he would accent
the position of adjutant general under Nj
Goebel's appointment, in which he sara.
