TRIAL" DIVORCE SCHEME.

A resourceful Chicago couple. who admit frankly that just at present We cant agree on anything" have agreed to live apart for a time in the hope that a brief separation will kill the germ of discord which has made their married experience unhappy. and will obviate the necessity of seeking re- lief in the divorce courts. Trial" di vorce may sound like the natural cor ollary of "trial' marriage. about which so much was said in print a short time ago, but in reality it Is much more sensible and practical plan. Divorce court statistics show that in the ma jority of cases decrees are issued to people who have been married for comparatively brief period. Some au- thorities say the first five years con- stitute the critical time, after which married people usually escape domestic shipwreck It is very possible that by following the example of this Chicago pair people who fancy themselves mis- mated would be able to bridge over the first few trying years without complete rupture of the uniop. and thereafter would be able to live to- gether in peace and harmony.

THE INDISPENSABLE BRYAN.

If the friends of Governor Johnson are as, confident of his nomination as they profess to be they have something up their sleeves" which will occasion a great deal of surprise when it is disclosed. While it is true that the instructions for Bryan do not plainly indicate his nomination, the country is more than ever convinced and the leaders of the democratic party are convinced. however, unwillingly that there can be nobody but Bryan this year. There are plain circum- stances in which Bryan might be elect ed but there can be no possible cir cumstances in which any man can be elected without the Bryan following which certainly would not follow his successful opponent in the Denver con- vention.
 It has been said that no man can be bigger than his party but is disproved in the case of MT. Bryan whose strength is more formidable than de- moCracy.
 Bryan may win with democracy but democracy cannot win without Bryan It could probably carry all the south ern states, though that is by no means certain. It might also carry New York but it could count upon nothing of the Bryan strength in the west. No ordi- narily doubtful state west of the Mis- sissippi river could be regarded as de- batable Cround.
 The democratic party was never so completely within the shadow of Bryan as it is today. Without him there would hardly be a democratic shadow.

Curious Origin Of q Feud.

Mr.. George NJ. Chaplin of this city was
giving me an interesting story the other
night about family feuds in Florida
which has affected the society and the
politics Of that state for many years, and
had a curious origin in a controversy over
the interment of the body of an Episcopal
bishop. This controversy has divided
families as well as friends: it has pro-
duced political issues as we'll as private
elections of governors and representatives
in Congress and the appointment OF
United States senator's. Brothers have
ceased to speak to each other because
of differences of opinion over this curious
subject and their families, seated across
the aisles of the same church and wor-
Shipping the same God, have refused to
recognize each other as they left the
sanctuary.
MANY years ago Bishop Young of the
Episcopal diocese of Florida died. said
Mr.. Chaplin. He was a. good man and
greatly beloved throughput the state by
members Of other denqhninations as well
as his own. 1t was suggested by his ad-
mirers that it would BE a fitting recoeni-
ton OF his usefulness} and his eminence to
the churchyard of jst Johns Cathedral
at Jacksonville. Among the parishioners
the Oldest. wealthiest and most aristo-
cratic families I'M the state, who declared
very frankly that they did not approve of
turning the law IN of ST. Johns into a
cemetery. and did not hesitate to make
known their opposition to everybody. Mr..
John n. c. Stockton. the head of another
family equally prominent and influential
in social. political and commercial affairs.
was a brotherNnslaw of Bishop Young
and was the moi active and pronounced
advocate in favor Of his interment in the
cathedral grounds. Up to that date the
L Engles and tho Stocktons had been in
innate and devoted friends. and Mr..
Stockton and Mrl L Engles had many in
terests in commo}l. Both gentlemen were
equally positive In their opinions on this
subject and theif differences became so
acute that they would neither recognize
nor have any 3columuuicat with each

other possibilities are described. He is
travelling about the state comforting with
the of1ceholders and the republican lead
ers Of both races. and Is urging an I'M
instructed, unpledged delegation that may
take advantage of whatever may develop
after the convention assemblies.
Select good men and leave it to their
Judgment" is Mr. Lyons advice. 1.-The
President has promised square deal for
everybody and he will commend rather
than criticise you for obeying the die
tates of your own conscience"
Mr.. Lyon is believed here to be acting
under the instructions Of Senator Crane,
and is said to have received several gen.
erous remittances from him. He is known
also to be In correspondence with Senator
Dick and to have received funds from
him also. but he does not advocate the
nomination of any particular man: he
does not favor one candidate above an
other: he says nothing against Secre-
tary Taft. but suggests an unpledged del
egation as the only remedy for the GeOr-
gia situation.
Nevertheless, the local colored leaders
are determined to express their prefer
ence for Senator Foraker. and he will
certainly receive the votes of half of the
twenty-eight delegates from this state.
The situation In Alabama and Mississippi
is similar. s
1t is difficult-rfor an impartial person
to reconcile his ideas of justice and pro-
of these states IN a national convention.
The only republicans who take any part
in politics are off1ceholders or those who
hope to hold office. Practically no votes
are cast for republican nominees for Of
fee. and at some elections there are no
candidates from that party, although
Georgia has not yet disenfranchised the
negro voters. There are more postmas-
tiers in Georgia. than there were republic
can votes cast lat the late congressional
election. There are more postmasters
than there are white voters in the republic
can party. If the representation in the
national convention we're regulated by the
number of votes cast throughout the
country Georgia would be entitled to a
small fraction OF one delegate.
The republican,, candidate for Congress in
the first district received 337 votes: the
democratic candidates in the other ten
districts were elected without opposi
ton. No republicans were nominated in
any of them.
