band has repeatedly broken these
promises and she can no longer live
with him.
The intention of the affidavit is to
show that the defendant can readily
pay alimony and suit money. His
claim that he will lose all his prop
erty if compelled to pay suit money
she declares as untrue.
At the close of the affidavit Mrs
Otis takes a shot at Mrs. Laura
Dean, with whom she accuses her
husband of being intimate. She states
that Mrs. Dean was not an employee
at the hospital, as she claimed, but
up to a week ago was a patient there.
She declares Mrs. Deans statement
that she went riding with Otis as an
employee to be false.
DR.. Genoway filed an affidavit as to
the temperate habits of Otis. Mrs
Otis declares that her husband is not

true.
DR.. Genoway, she states, tried to
prevent her from bringing the di-
vorce action because the exposure
would cause her husband to lose his
position.
The application for alimony and
suit money was heard this morning.
Otis was ordered to pay his wife $50
suit money and s25 month until the
suit was settled. Judge KEENAN, or
dered the money to be paid on or be-
fore June 10.

EDUCATION and
DIVORCE

The educational advantages offered
to the American woman are a con-
slant source Of wonderment to the
average Englishman. One Of whom
expresses himself thus:
The manner Of education Of the
American girl differs radically from
that of her English cousins. In the
public schools, except in the large
cities, pupils of both sexes sit In the
same room, have the same lessons,
and the same teachers through the
primary, intermediate, grammar and
high schools. Even if n girl goes to
the college she may continue to work
with men in the intimacy Of the
classroom, until, standing side by
side with the men, arrayed, like them,
in academic cap anG gown, she re-
ceives her bachelors or masters de-
gree, differing in no way from that
which is conferred upon the men,
This form of education tends to make
the American girl less affected, more
direct in manner, and, some critics
Of the method say, less sentimental,
and more commonplace and prosaic
However, co-education does not dis
courage matrimony. Indeed, so far
from college education uniting a
woman for the duties of domesticity,
the spectacle of a college bred wom-
an in the divorce courts is practically
unknown.

From German sources comes the
statement that the lines Of commune

If true, so much the better for the
japanese army, for 1t brings relief to

The prohibition state committee has

Stewards, where the clear, bright
ulous country, or the billy area with
in the walls, where pine-clothed
knolls conceal the devastations, and
the governors yamen, temples and
monasteries make a goodly show.
The historic associations of Ping
yang are full of interest, and go back
fully 5000 years, but the most thrill
ing incidents are of comparatively
modern date. In 1866 there was the
massacre of the crew of the General
Sherman, and in 1895 the ever
changing events of the Chino-Jap-
anese war.
OF the battle of Ping-yang, his
rors of that night will never be ac-
curately known. The battle was lost
and won when the forts were taken.
What remained was less of battle
than a massacre. Before the morn
ing the flower of the Chinese army
as to drill and equipment had per-
ished, those who escaped never reap
pearing as an organized body. 1t is
estimated that from 1000 to 1000
men were slain, with thousands Of
horses and bulls, the cavalry being
literally mown down in hundreds, and
lying, men and horses, heaped in
mounds. For the Japanese had
girdled the plain with a ring of fire.
All this is interesting in view Of
what may happen any moment in
northern Korea. The safety of the
Japanese position depends In no
small degree upon the rapidity with
which railway construction is pur-
sued. Already new routes whereby
several miles of construction is saved
have been adopted, and the railway
advance in Korea thus proceeds with
extraordinary vigor.
OF the Russian tactics on the other
bank of the Yalu we know nothing;
in fact, the real inwardness of the
military position of both armies in
northern Korea is unknown save to
the respective generals. Correspond
ents can tell us nothing, for they are
not allowed to know anything.

THE CHARGE OF FREE TRADE,

II there Is one string upon which the
average Republican may be depended
on to play at all hours, it is free trade.
To speak of Democracy as free-trade
Party is a device which never fails
them and it is always ready for use.
We are sometimes almost charitable
enough to think that there may be a
few Republicans who sincerity believe
that the Democratic Party is actually
opposed to all tariff duties and in favor
of absolute free-trade in all things.
1t is a hard strain on charity, though
Because some merchants make enor-
nous profits there should be no
profits in merchandising. Because
doctors sometimes exact excessive fees
there should be no fees allowed any OF
them According to the Republican
style of reasoning, a Democrat who oo-
iects to some of the excessive tariff
duties must be free-trader. So. II
man should object to paying his mer-
chant or his doctor an excessive price,
that man would favor a law which
would deprive the merchant OF all
profit and prevent the doctor from col
Letting any fee for his services.
The arguments of the Republicans
would apply as we'll in one case as In
another Democrats do object to some
of the features of the present tarit
system. They are not only unjust ana
oppressive, but amount in many IN
stances to actual robbery. These du-
ties encourage and protect the trusts
which are enriching their promoters
and beneficiaries at the expense OF the
people. Many Republicans are honest
enough to admit this, and to admit
that duties should be so reduced and
eoualized that they would no longer
be oppressive to any class of people,
yet their leaders dare not interfere.
The present tariff enriches those who
provide the campaign funds and the
funds are indispensable just now.
To charge, as some Republicans do,
| that the Democratic Party is a free
| trade party, and that If Democrats OBJ

will abolish all tariff duties. is SO alb
| surdly false that those who make 1t

THE BEEF TRUST CASE.

Just how empty Republican profess
sions of enmity to trusts is, is made
very plain by the administration $
management of the beef monopoly case,
started in Chicago. and now before the
Supreme Court at Washington.
The suit was brought two years ago
next month before Judge Grosscup of
the Northern Circuit of Illinois. 4
combination in restraint of trade and
operating in violation of the inter-
state commerce law. was alleged
against all the big packing concerns
OF Chicago. A temporary Injunction
directed against Swift g. Co, and the
failure by the defendants to answer,
after their demurrer had been over
ruled, the injunction was made perpet-
ual. The defendants appealed from the
Judges decision overruling their de-
murrer, but the injunction remained in
force.
What has been done by the Govern
ment to give effect to the courts opin-
ion? Absolutely nothing. The prose
cution was a farcical bit of bluff in

people as a trustbuster The Govern
ment has every weapon in hand right
