And then, to make matters worse, moth
ing is settled. Here was a divorce a le-
gal divorce in this country, followed by
q marriage which the earl pronounced
by his plea of guilty, invalid. What right
had the noble earl to so smirch the ac-
ton of the courts of a friendly nation?
Is not the earl in contempt of the court
which granted his petition for divorce?
His plea of guilty acknowledges the val
fdity of both his early and his late mar
riages. If the divorce was invalid, was
not the following marriage invalid and of
no effect?
If the second so-called marriage was no
marriage, now can the earl be guilty Of
bigamy? If he be guilty of anything
under the English law it is adultery with
the second Lady Russell. If he be guilty
of blgamy according to his plea and the
sentence which followed, to which woman
is he now the lawful husband? If, &C
cording to English law, he is the husband
of Lady Lucy. and continues to consort
with Molly, he will under British law be
guilty of adultery. Should he. however,
come to this country and here consort
with mis- lawful wife according to the
British idea Of his marital status, he will
be guilty of the same offense.
AS neither our courts nor the British
courts can punish for a. misdemeanor
committed beyond their jurisdiction, the
noble earl is in the enviable position of
being married to two women with whom
he can live and not be amenable to the
law, providing he keeps them in their
respective countries and oscillates be-
tween them.
The object Of this plea of guilty may
come to the surface later. When the
earl serves his sentence mis- first wife
will have ground for a divorce and will
no doubt get one. This will leave the
earl free to re-marry Lady Russell num-
Der two, and remain in England. The
plea of guilty was no doubt regarded as
the quickest way out Of the difficulty. A
fight might have ended in a conviction,
on the ground that the Nevada divorce
was irregular. This would have been fol-
lowed by a sentence more severe than
the one imposed. AS it was, the earl
threw himself upon the mercy of his
peers and they, remembering the in
junction. Let him who is without sin
cast the first stone" could not find it in
their hearts to be harsh; not knowing
when the positions might be reversed.
1t was no doubt, a polite move on the
part Of Earl Russell, but it was the
means of spelling a great show-a show
that cost the tax payers of England

The CUBAN CONVENTION
ELECTORAL BILL ADOPTED AS
SUBMITTED BY COMMISSION.

HAVANA, July 31.-After a lively de-
bate today the Cuban constitutional con-
Vention adopted the electoral bill sub
matted by the commission as a whole.
Discussion Of the various articles will
now begin.
Senior Sanguilly caused commotion by
protesting against accepting the project,
on the ground that the convention could
not assume the authority therein pro-
v1ded Of establishing the new government
and settling disputes arising out of the
first election, as these matters belonged
to the military government.
Senior Diego "A amayo said the order
converting the Convention provided dis
tinctly that the convention should make
arrangementsff6FSth turning over of the
government, He argued also that it was
quite natural for the convention to act
as high court in election cases.
The question, however, was not raised
among the delegates as a whole Several
expressed the opinion that the law would
not be finally adopted until the return
of Gov. Gen. -IKyood. The convention is
inclined to cnange several articles For
instance, the9article defining the eligible
fty of candidates to Office will be made

category as native Cubans.

EMPLOYMENT FOR THE INSANE.
That the devil finds work for idle hand
is truism that needs no expansion. The
greatest of all punishments Is that of en-
forced idleness.
Every human being. in the natural state
Of society, has an occupation. such as It
is. 1t may seem inconsequential to ia
but to him it may be his mental or moral
salvation The mind or the hands must
be busy. in some cases both, in order
to secure the best mental and moral re-
suits.
This fact has long been recognized in
prison dicipine. When the object is IN
punish for crimes, solitary confinement
has for the prisoner the greatest bor-
rors. Work, either manual or mental. is
a relief and becomes a pleasure. Where
the object TO be attained is reformation
instead of vengeance prison authorities
keep the prisoner constantly employed
along the line of his natural tastes.
The blighting horrors of solitary con-
finement without employment, human in
terests' or hope of release is graphically
depicted by Byron in THE Prisoner of
Chilon.' lnaction within confined limits
means both physical and mental destruc-
ton. Men Of remarkable intellectual
strength may take comfort of philosophy

very force of mental action. Such men
have passed years in solitary confinement
and retained their reason, but the cases
are few. ..
Do these principles not apply to the I'M
fortunate inmates of the insane asylums?
The suggestion that the insane be pro-
vided with work should@need no discus
sion. The demand for action in this line
is imperative. The authorities and ply
s;cians should exhaust every effort to
discover some kind OF employment for
the hands of those whose minds are
diseased. We are aware that the treat
ment Of the insane is subject on which
experts nave spent their lives. For lay
men to offer an opinion may, therefore,
seem presumptuops in the extreme. but
we have been told that "a cat may look
at a king" and we will presume to call
attention to one phase of subject which
has been to a great extent neglected.
Work as a mind curative is not new.
The suggestion is not original with any
enc of this or the previous generation.
Work has always been balm for
disturbed mind. Why Shouldn't not be in
stalled in the institutions for the insane
as a helpful adjunct to tie regular treat
ment?
The suggestions of Supt Kabourne, of
the Rochester asylum. should meet with
universal approval, and measures should
be taken by the board of control to carry
them out

FAvORS THE CANTEEN
REV. S. b. DEXTER'S NEW BOOK
Is PUBLISHED.

CHICAGO, July 3l.-Advance sheets of
the Rev. s. B. DexteTs book Cant and
Canteen" have been given out by the
publishers They show that the book ia
not an attack on the Rev. Dr. Park
hurst, as some expected it would be. but
an unbiased argument that the canteen
is good thing, although its benefits may
make themselves apparent only in a com
parative degreee.
with all the intrtcacies of the canteen
question: says the writer "and with ALL
the arguments that may seem to vindi-
cate the adjustment of the canteen,
there are significant factors that force
certain convictions.
1T is true that the canteen is not the
best thing for the moral and social well
fare of the soldier, yet the canteen, as It
was regulated when congress repealed
the canteen law, was decidedly an i'm
proVement over present conditions, there
fore In comparative sense at least the
canteen would be beneficial to the aver
age army garrison.
The author of this work claims that
it is the Christians duty to stand Tor
the reducing the power of evil not for
increasing that power. He shares vita
his temperance friends the common dis
like for the drink traffic in every FORM
yet with the issue of fact and the issue
of principle kept separate, there is but
one reasonable conclus ion, namely, the
regulated canteen of the post exchange,
In view of present exhibitions Of intern
peranee, would be beneficial to the aver
age garrison"
The Rev. Mr.. Dexter goes very fully
into the story Of the Highwood investiga-
ton. limiting that the majority Of min
isteria4 committee was determined to see
things in its own way and to prove only
where 1t was known that results favor
able to their stand could be obtained
The writer, however, Immediately after
ward softens this statement by saying:
The members of the commission in
making their report on the morning of
May 6, certainly had no intention of
mlsrepresenting the facts In the case. but
that the investigation was far from be-

port does not present the facts of both
SIDES of the object and conditions Of in

pralsers are already at work fixing the

A STRANGE STATE or. THINGS.

Some one insoffic1ai life is responsible
for the disappearance of the accused
County Commissioner Whitehorne. TIE
charge made against him has been GER
orally known ~for~several days. It has
been consideration by the county
attorney during that period. and has been
discussed generally among those who
have any current knowledge of events
in local public life.
The Gil b e does not seek to prejudice
the case of Mr.. Whitehorne. With re-
gard to his family and friends, If from
no other consideration, 1t should refuse
to be exacting. 1t would have been bet
ter for him, as well as for the general
public interest, had he remained to con-
when the accusation was once made and
confirmed, he should have then and there
been called on to furnish bail for his
appearance.
1t was on Sunday or Saturday night
when w. B. Bourne was arrested. No
consideration appears to have been be-
slowed on him or his family or friends.
No question was asked as to whether
he could get bail. and the arrest was
accomplished at a time when it was prac-
ticalIy impossible that he could get bail
before being obliged to stay in Jail twen-
ty-four hours or over
We are told in the news columns Of
the daily papers of the ardent search
which is being made for Mr.. Whitehorne.
The Sheriff and his deputies are said to
have been spread out over the county
following the trail of the missing Of
ficlal. The assurance was given that he
would be present to furnish bail and
meet his accusers the morning after the
charge against him was publicly ANNOUNCE
ed and the warrant for his arrest issued.
All this activity Is needless. If Mr.
Whitehorne mas not returned already, he
probably never will return. He ought to
have been arrested when the charge was
filed against him. A warrant was as
easily obtained then as it was later. Or
if arrest was not thought advisable there
should not have been any public an
nOuncement whatever made. AS it is the
daily press for days in succession pub
lished each day poorly concealed state
ments of the charges, without giving Mr..
Whitehorne's name.
Tho in,
been exceptional from the beginning. If
the G o b Q had not maintained it's posi-
ton there can be little doubt that the
whole business would have been squelch,
ed. No one who will recall the attitude
taken by the county auditor when the
state examiner revealed the state of
things in progress regarding refunding
orders, or the wholly farcical exalnina-
ton carried on before the governor, or
the vlcarious sacrifice made of Griswold
to an aroused public sentiment, will hest
tate in believing that the secrets OF Of
flcial wrongdoing thus far made known
nave been torn from their lodging places
in spite of the best efforts of those who
were interested in maintaining them.
County affairs are in a pretty bad
state. Sufficient has been shown to make
it plain that the public has exercised no
such measure of supervision as it should
have exercised A complete overnauling
is timely. 1t should be had at once. 1t
Is even more needful to the public well
fare than the punishment of those who
are known and suspected of wrongdo-
ing.
