On the piazzi of the summer hotel a.
High Church clergyman had been dis
cussing the question of divorce with
man of the world, says the New York
Tribune. Half a dozen women had been
listening with attention. The man of
the cloth was very much opposed to
legal separation of married couples.
and had answered the arguments of
the worldly man with a great deal of
spirit.
Think of the hardship is works on
the children involved" he said finally.
Have you no pity for them? Have
you the right to ruin their young
lives?"
The women applauded with APPROX
ing glances and waited for the worldly
man to take up this phase of the ques-
ton.
In minute the silence was broken.
but from an unexpected quarter Two
little girls were playing on the lawn in
front of the piazza.

one of them decidedly.
You have got more clothes and
more money to spend" said the other.

I've got two fathers and two moth

first. mo wonder I have more things
than you have"
No girl can have more than one
father and one mother, can she?" ask
ed the other.
of course she can. You see, my first
father and mother did not like each
other very we'll, so they went to court
and got permission to live away from
each other. Then my mother got me a
new father, the one that is here with
us now, and my real father, who is up
in the Adirondacks, got me a new
mother. Sometimes l live with my real
father and the extra mother, and some
times with my real mother and the ex-
ira father. Both fathers give me lots
of fine things"
The discussion on the piazzi ended

LEGISLATION AGAINST AM
CHISTS.
ANAR-

There are many more anarchists In
the country than there were generally
thought to be. The attempt to assasi-
nate the President has called attention
to many groups of them. Conspicuous
groups are in Paterson, N. j., Chicago
Mckeesport, Pa, Kansas and New
York city. 1t is worthy of notice that
quite number of organizations which
undertook within the last few days to
pass resolutions of sympathy for the
President were unable to do so because
of the presence of members who either
were anarchists or sympathizers with
anarchistic principles.
The governments of at least two
states have announced a purpose to
have laws enacted at the very earliest
possible moment that will put stop to
the incubation of red handed assassins
One is New Jersey and the other is
Indiana. Gov. Voorhees, says that New
Jersey has been annoyed long enough
by the Paterson group of anarchists,
and that a bill to get rid of them is
now being prepared and will be intro
duced and made a law Just as soon as
the Legislature meets. He says that he
has received from the authorities of
three European states evidence that
plots have been Matched against a
number of prominent persons in Eu-
rope by the Paterson anarchists, but
there is no law by which they can be
reached.
The proposed law makes a conspiracy
in New Jersey to assassinate persons
in another state or in foreign lands
punishable. the punishment being the
same as that for murder, namely,
comes a law anarchists in New Jersey
plot to kill a person in this country or
in foreign country they will pay the
penalty for their crimes with their
lives.
1t is, of course, well understood why
there has been so much hesitation to
pass laws against anarchists in this
country IL is because there is such a
strong feeling against anything that
tends to abridge our fundamental right
of free speech and perfect civil and per-
sonal liberty. but the people would
rather give up something than to be
in constant danger of ruin from those
who have no regard for government
and who set all law at defiance. But
it will not be necessary, in all proba-
bility, to give up anything in order to
put a restraint upon anarchists that
will make them harmless. No doubt
Congress will enact a law that will
keep anarchists out of the country. 1t
is alleged that at present they are COM
ing to this country in a steady stream.
If that be so congress cannot act in

consequence. Under Chinese customs it
will devolve upon Mr.. WI to entertain
the Prince and his suite, consisting of
some forty persons, for as long a time
as they may choose to remain, out of
his own private means. The imperial
government does not make provisions
for the reimbursement of its represen-

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.)
says: Nothing whatever has been
gained. nothing can be gained, for the
cause which Anarchists profess to have
at heart by the murders they advocate
or perpetrate. A man may be killed.
but the office is at once filed by an
other man. The form of government
remains unchanged and the only effect
of the murder is to deepen the detes-
tation of an enlightened people for
such utterly useless crimes, and to
breed contempt for the ignorance that
imagined they could be of service to
mankind"
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.) says: 1.-THE American people
at large will now better appreciate The
feelings of the people of Kentucky
whose chief magistrate was assassi-
mated under circumstances far differ

archist, but the result of a widespread
conspiracy which in it's aim and result

abroad for the probable instigators

Much money is being sent into the
South and West from Northern insti-
buttons for the purpose of moving the
crops. The amount sent into the South,
however, will not be as large as in for
mer years, for the reason that South
ern banks are now supplying a pretty
considerable proportion of the curren-
cy needed. Every day banks in Sa-
vannah are receiving orders from inte-
rior banks for currency, which they
are filling promptly. The small country
banks are making the distributions to
farmers of money for moving crops
which, some years ago, were made by
city factors with money obtained from
city banks largely in New York.

AMERICA AND CUBA.

The attitude of the United States to-
wards Cuba is governed in the main
by the Teller resolution of April IS,
1898, which reads as follows:
THE United States hereby disclaims
any disposition or intention to exercise
sovereignty, Jurisdiction or control over
said island, except for the paciication
thereof, and asserts its determination,
when that Is accomplished, to leave the
government and control of the island to
its people"
The Government is right, however, in
insisting. before turning Cuba over to
It's people, that the Islanders shall ac-
cept the Monroe doctrine and define
their attitude towards the United States
this much in lieu Of indemnity for the
cost and burden of the war. It must
not be forgotten that the Americans
freed Cuba and did so at enormous cost
in money and no inconsiderable cost in
life. On that account they do not ask
too much when they declare that Cuba
before being let loose from the leading
strings of this country, shall pledge it.
self to come into line with the United
states against European encroachment.
The Monroe doctrine may be open to
many serious objections but while it
lasts 1t should be uniformly enforced
by all the parties at interest.
That the United States Government
Is willing. after having Cuba in its
hands, to give the great prize away for
so slight return, puts 1t in niche of
honor by itself in contemporary his
tory. Probably no other power would
be so particular. 1t is quite possible,
however, that the United States will
yet be compelled to interfere for the
of Cuba, in which event it
would not be bound by the Teller reso-
luton and might be able to anticipate
the natural destiny of the Queen of the
Antilles.

HANDWRITING May Become 4 Lost Art.

"One of the industries that the
twentieth century will drive out of ex-
istence is the manufacture of pens, .
said stationer the other day. Just
as the nineteenth century brought the
steel pen in place of the quill, so will
the twentieth century see the type
writer take the place OF the pen. The
effect is already very noticeable. Last
year we didn't sell half as many pens
as we sold five years ago, and the de-
crease has been steady each year.
Some large business houses nave a
system of keeping books with type
writing machines, and when this be-
comes more simplified it is bound to
be universal. I shouldn't be surprised
to see the pen manufacturers go out
of business within a few years. In.
deed, it is not beyond the range of
possibility that hundred years from
now handwriting. il not exactly re-
garded as a lost art, will at least be
looked upon as relic Of antiquity,
and specimens of handwriting win be
treasured as curiosities."
