For Twenty.eight years he was post

DEMOCRATS WILL ATTACK
DALZELL'S UTTERANCES.
Csmpnign Material to BE Made Ont Of
His Statement That America Il

REPCBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. May There are indica-
tons that the sensational passage at
arms. which took place in the House last
week. between Representative Bourke
Cochran of New York and Representative
Dalzeil of Pennsylvania is going to fur
nish some Democratic campaign material.
Leading Democrats in Congress an
nounced to-day that they proposed to
make political capital out of that part OF
Representative Dalzell's speech in which
he spoke of "hoodlums in America"
In commenting on the reported declara-
tion Of Mr.. Cochran. that the United
States was becoming the hoodlum nation
of the world. Mr.. Dalzeli declared that
IF there Were hOodlums in this country,
they were foreigners who had left their
own countries for their countries good"
MIR. Williams OF Mississippi. the Demo-
cratic Hous- leader, took up this declara-
tion, and in his speech OF the following
DAY. taking the ground that Mr.. Dalzeil
had insulted all American citizens of for
eign birth or descent. said:
Il have a good deal of impatience with
'hyphenated Americans I do not know
what a GeTraan-AmericSn IL. nor what
an Irish-American is. There is nothing. in
that because you happen TO be an Amer
ican. You are better than anybody else.

At the same time the expenses of most depart

law have done greatly increased business
only slightly larger.

have been kept surprisingly low There is waste

TEACHERS AND OTHERS.

Again and again the assertion is repeated that
all of the better occupations, for both men and
women, overcrowded and there is no longer
any freedom of choice with regard to vocation The
opinion is held generally that every pursuit Is not
only strictly money basis. but that there is a
departure from ethical ideas in systems and prac-
tices.
The young man young woman. standing In the
threshold and surveying the future. Is likely TO be
deferred from making q choice OF special kind
of work. There is the large law Office which is
conducted axe a reel estate bureau with graduates
OF the law school struggling in obscurity at only a
monthly compensation which is. in some cases, but
little in excess of stenographer's salary. And
perhaps In the same building there is graduate OF
a commercial college. who has a corps of writing
machine operators and amanuenses employed en-
material from the law Offices, and who earns much
more in year than do many attorneys.
There Is the private hospital ofice OF

or surgeons work many hours daily. or nightly

INCREASE IN DIVORCES.

Is divorce unavoidable fact of modern society !:
Is marriage to become contract termnable al will:
The increase in divorces in the United States is
alarming Despite the protests of the clergy and Of
the judiciary the tendency has not been checked
In comparison with condition. divorces are
uncommon in Canada. There the same language is
spoken and there is in reality but little difference be-
tween the people of the United States and those Of
Canada; Yer, while in this country divorce is CON-
to attract attention, divorce in Canada
is that it does attract attention better
understanding of this difference can be gained when
it is known that recent statistics show that in thirty
four years, from 1861 to 1901 there only SO
divorces in Canada and approximately 100000 in
the United States.
The Canadian law is strict. Divorces can be
granted only by the Dominion Parliament and there
is a routine of procedure to be followed. The pre-
liminary moves must be advertised for six months
and the applicant must appear before Senate COM
mittee in person and present his own case. There
is no doubt that the obstacles lessen divorce. In
this country, with local courts handling divorces
they are easy. Trivial quarrels minor domestic diff
fsrences and temporary misunderstandngs end IN

Chief OF Police Kiely and Chief OF De-

find that they contained no mention OF
pickpockets- At the opening Of the Chi

'It is seldom that such large crowd
gathers in any city that pickpockets do
not make raids on the people, said Chief
kiely. Thus far We have not received
a single report OF loss from any person
who claimed to have been the victim OF
pickpockcts.
The men have arrested probably twen-

unable to identify among them any

that under no circumstances will they b
