The daughters were in subiection to the mother until they set up es- tablishments of their own with the dependent attachment of hus- band.
 There is a plan that is said to have operated finely. Why don't some advanced woman propose that2 With all the family posses sions the absolute property of the wife, and even the husband chat tel, the divorce evil would disap' pear completely and forever.

THE silly ostentation of the vulgar rich received the cap sheaf one day last week at Pasadena where lager beer Dutchman made a millionaire by the guzzling tendencies of his fellow men, sat upon a throne with his frau, the latter wearing a diadem such as queens may wear upon occasions of great state ceremony, and re. ceived the obeisance of a lot of sycophants such as are ready ever to fawn upon those of great wealth.

THE "envoys" to Washington re- turned early in the week without the promised statehood. But they assert the matter will be fixed all right at the special session of Con- gress next month.

THE DIVORCE EVIL.

divorce eVlI Dy leBallLlhB maiIlo6O contracts for term of seven years, with privilege of renewal. At the end of that time, if the marriage has been satisfactory, the couple may make a new contract, and go along, renewing their contracts every seven years 80 long as they shall live, or until intolerable differences and difficulties arise to prevent renewal. The argument for the proposition is that under the proposed new dispensation con ditions cannot be worse than now, and that inevitable separations of husbands and wives and breaking up of families would come as mat ters of course and without the pre- sent attendant scandals. Maybe the position taken by the lady Is correct, and that her plan would work out as she predicts.
 None of the remedies proposed for the evils which affect society will work out to perfection. And those proposing them overlook the scriptural proverb that "man is prone to evil as the sparks fly up- ward" Every generation has it's own problems to meet and its own evils to combat. Divorce is one of the evils of the present time. With that corrected there will be some- thing else to distract organized society and supply subjects for moralizing. From the very begin hing of civilization-yea, from the very dawn of barbarism-the ma trimonial relation has been the cause of much trouble and ditfi- culty; and Ell sorts of plans and systems have been evolved to straighten out the rela tions between the sexes and make every marriage harmonious and happy. Very likely this very proposition now advanced has been tried at some time or another in some part of the world, and was abandoned or the people outgrew the system, or il evolved into some other system.
 Beneath the foundations of the ruins of the most ancient cities whose very history is but mythical archeologists have found the houses homes and public edifices of othel cities of which history has no re cord There is nothing to shov what was their family system. Tn Amazons, kingdom of womel which fourished in the time o Alexander created their own sys tenn. They were without husbands and men were excluded from thei dominions; but they reared chil dren.
