boeioty leader , y.as a man of engaging
piesenco , gioat talents and had a future

but for the fact that a notorious blron
had enticed him within her folds. All

Thisl-j all thcro is about it. lie was

TTIK DOMESTIC 1'UltSK STltlXOS.
The great majority of married women
\vlll henrtily acquiesce in the opinion of
Ms. Alice ! ; . I\cs , as expressed In the
September I'omni , tlint ono of the cry
ing o\ils of the tlmo Is thohvelcof poclcot
money , or plu money , for wives , with its
consequence of thuir slavish pecuniary
dependence on their husbands. Mrs.
1ms evidently been giving- this
matter very careful and piticnt consid
eration , for she supports hop aiguraent
with illustrations drawn from autuaL
life , whore wives of rich mon maintain
ing luxurious Gstuhlishincuts are Kept
piuctiuUy ponnllosa themselves. The
husbands pay tlio iiillllneiy nnd other
olllb , though not without more OP loss
{ liiimUlng1 , but they do not provide
their wives with a inlvuto prmo which ,
they can illiiw on lit pleasuio for their
little wants nnd charities , "Wlieuovor
the wives roquiio money they must boj
it from tliolr lords and account for the
\vay in which they Intend to dispose
of it. Thoio are many C.ISGS inhtcV
married womun looked uiwn asilchand
cnvlal)1o mo really pooior than their
hoivunts and enjoy less liberty. They
nro treated as if they could not bo trusted ,
with money and wore vvibliout any llmm
olal discretion. AH ucoiisoqucnco It is
not uncommon for women bo neglected
to piiictlco deceit and trickery In order
to obtain n few dollaw thnt they can use
in their own wiry , Nrs. Ivea says that
they got their milliners tosondln n bll
for foity dollats iiistoud of thirty in
order to take the extra ten for them
selves , but othois too con&doiittouH to do
this secretly woilc for the pittance of a
sowing girl In order to escape from pe
cuniary bondage ,
Mrs. Ives vary properly says that the
sjbtouiof icgardlag1 the wife na finan
cially and morally irresponsible U a
serious evil to bo looked squarely In the
faca aud honestly dealt with.
"Tho vvonnn who has no knowl
edge of her liusband's llmn-
cial in tcrests ; who , instead ot being1 his
confidential partner , U his pensioner ,
will , if she gets the opportunity , In nine
cases out of ten , nlii him through her
ignorance. " Mrs. ives says that young
women who are solf-rclinnt and cum
good salariesof ten shrink fiom marriage
bcciu o they cannot bear to bo so do-
pendent. "Thoro ought to bo no grounds
for this'fenr , and with mmy dolicato-
inlndcdbroad-soulcd , , dcop-thinldng mon
thcio are none , because to such a mm
the wife Is nncquil sharer In all things ,
in his ptirso as well as inhlsheait , "
Still , sijs Irs. Ivos , one cannot blame
independent women for hesitating before
they take a leap In the dark.
The I'lench have tin excellent custom
of accumulating1 a dowery for exery
daughter of a family , no matter how
humble. Fiom the day the child Is born
the money for the purpose is laid abide ,
and if ns she grows she cams
monoj' for herself , she horsclf
contributes to it. Then when
shomariles she has a little money capi
tal of her own. with all the accruing
moinlsiml mitorial advantages. It is a
sound sjstoni which ought to bo goncr-
allv adopted. Mrs. Ives suggests tint
no worn in ought to mirry without hav
ing sonio understanding with her future
husband regarding a woehlj money al
lowance , but obviously the Introduction
of so practical a matter ns this would
baldly bo favor- bio to the love-milking.
The question is u very Inteiesting onoto
multitudes of girls and man-led women ,
and M rs , Ivcs has done well in bringing
it to public attention.
TI1K aOYErtXMBST OV CITIES.
One of the most interesting papers
read at the late session ot tlio Social
Science association was that of Presi
dent Andruw D. White on the govern
ment of Ameiiean cities. There is no
problem of greater interest to every
thouarhtful .Amorlcin , nnd yet there are
few that have received so little intelli
gent attention The origin of our fice
institutions was in the township and vil
lage governments transplanted to our
shores bj the colonists , and. it would
seem to bo as easy to otpand thospsteiu
under which the village was veil
ordered and govoi nod into a system of
good municipal government as to adapt
it to the necessities of a gioat nation
The fact is , liovvovcr , thitvvhlle the na-
tionil system is a success the applica
tion of the same piinciples to municipal
administration appears , when measured
by Its icsul ts , to bo a fallute. The phe-
nomonnl growth of our cities makes this
failure n matter of most vital Inipoit-
tance.
Pic-sidenfc "White attiibutes the
most conspicuous oxlls in our mu
nicipal governments to the popu
lar refusal to govern them except
thiougli the ordinary machinery of
political parties. His fundamental con
tention was that a city is a corporation ,
and that as a city it has nothing hatcvor
to do with general political interests ; tnt }
pmty political names and duties nro
utteily out of place in. a city. The ques
tions in n city , ho urged , are not politi
cal questions , They liavo loforence to
the laying out of streets , the erection of
buildings , sanitary arrangements , in
cluding sewerage , water supply , gas
supply , electiical supply , piovisions for
the public health and comfoit in parks ,
boulovaids , libratics , museums , and
iinally intho coiitiol of franchises and
the like "Tho work ofn city being the
croitionand contiol of the city pioporty ,
it should logically ba muiaged as a
piece of propcity , by those who have
oreited It , who have a title to ifc , or real ,
substantial pait in it , and whocnnthero-
forofeelstrongly their duty toit. " Theio
is nothing to bo added to this as a state
ment of the true theory of city govern
ment and the principle upon which it
should bo administered ,
3M Piesidcnt "White was loss fortu
nate in suggesting a remedy for existing
evils. JIo would have a compromise bo-
1v/eop. the political idea and the corpo
rate idea. Ho would not break away
ontliely from the pist , but would build
upon wlmt may bo preserved fiom the
pasta better futmo IIo would leave in
existence tlio theory that the city is a
political bodj as regaids the election of
mayor and common council , and would
elect the major by the votes of the ma
jority of all the citi/om , as at piesent.
IIo would also elect the common council
by a majority of all the votes of all the
citizens , bub Instead of electing them
from the wards as at present , "so that
wauls largely contiollcd by thieves and
robbers can bond thieves and robbers,1' ,
ho would elect councilman on a general -
oral ticket , thus ioq.\ilring can
didates to have a city repu
tation. So much for the political idea ,
and In order to cany out the coiporatu
idea he would haxo elected , by the votes
of the piopcrty ovnors alone , a hoard of
control , without the \ote of which no
frnnchifco should bo granted and no ex
penditure made the only exception
being as to oxpendittucs for ptimmy
education , in which case ho would allow
the votes of tbo board to bo overridden
by a two-thirds majority of the council.
Experience both in this country nnd in
Euiopo has shown that there is nothing
gained ty electing councilinon on a gen
eral ticLct , A\hilo the plan of a board of
contiol chosen by the \otes of property
owners only is obviously impracticable ,
because it could bo aclilovod only
through the voluntary surrender by the
non-property owning masses of the
rights they now possess , and this they
assuredly would not do The fact that
most American cities nro badly gov
erned is a "very serious ono , and the
problem of reform Is worthy the atten
tion of the most Intelligent statesman
ship.

The bill that has passed the senate ,
providing for the protection of tiecs nnd
other giowthon the public domain from
destination by ilro , is annum needed
measure , nnd there should bo no doubt
of its becoming a law. Souib such legis
lation has been asked of congress for
years , and the present secretary of the
intctiorimd Land Commissioner Giolt
ihavo not boon less earnest than their
prodecessrs in urging the necessity of a
la-w that would adequately protect the
forests on the public domain ngainst
fires which result cllliorfrom tifgllgonco
or inalleiousnj
In his last i niiunl report the secretary
of the intcrlo stated that the forest 11 ros
In the timber of Montana , Wyo
ming , and other portions of the west
during the summer of 18S < J destroyed
more tress thjn-faad been lost by all the
deptcdatlons fiom the beginning of the
first settlement until the present time ,
ana ho strongly urged upon con
gress the necessity of legislation
to protect 8 those valuable pos
sessions of tljj , nation. Timber to the
value of many jnllllons of dollnts hns
been swept avuiy vhich might hnvobeen
saved had proper protection brcn pro
vided , for it is well understood that
nearly all the forest fires are maliciously
set or are the icsult of carelessness , nnd
It is ceitnlnly time that congress did
something to put an end to this wanton
destitution. The timber supply of the
country Is disippcniingrnpldly enough
In a legitimate way , and vo shall too
boon bo compelled to look elsewhere for
timber to meet the grow Ing needs of the
country without permitting it to bo
swept avay by lire. Besides , thcso for
ests are Miluublo in other respects than
for the timber. But it should not bo
necessary to defend the policy of pre
serving the forests on the public domain.
The duti to do so is ob\lous.
The bill that has passed the senate ,
andvvnicli thcio should bo no dimeulty
in getting thiougli the house , provides
for punishing by line or imprisonment
any person who shall maliciously or
negligently set lire to underbrush or
prnhio guiss on any public lands of the
United Stiles , or who shall maliciously
or by gross negligence permit or sutler
any fire which ho may have lighted on
prl-vate lands to pass therefrom to public
lands to the injury of trees or under
growth upon such public lands. The
bill was opposed by eastern senators on
account of the btrlngcncy of its pio-
visions ; but these nro no moro severe
than they should bo. A drastic law is
necessary to elTcct the desired puipose.
DKA Ill-It ti : ) It E VKKtiK.
The wholesale ariest of leaders of the
Irish home-rulo movement is entitled to
rank with the monumental folly of Pig-
gottlsm and forgery , which distinguishes
tory government. Arrests and persecu
tion of Irish political opponents is not a
new thing. Scarcely a prominent out
spoken member of the Irish parliament
ary party has escaped the m dignity of
Dublin castle. Shingly and in paits they
have been ariosted and jailed , but this
is tbo llrut tijup the government at
tempted the wlicjlesalo incatceration of
the loadcis.
Various reasons are assigned for what
Is justly termed ' { the stupendous blunder
of toiyi&m. " The real motive is not far
to seek. It is to 'bo ' found in the success
that invarlably'crowns ' the application
of the ' "plan of tampaign" in forcing ar
rognnt laudloids to reduce icnts or suf
fer their ostitcs to lie idle. The dis
tress prevailing in nearly all sections of
the island , coupled with the advancing
shadow of famine on the west coast , nat
urally intensifies , tbo struggle against
landlordism. - Despite tho-ciop fail mo
mid widespread agilcultural depicsaion ,
the Shylocks insist on their pound of
flesh. They mo IndlfTeicnt to the con
dition of the paopla. It matters not if
payment absoibs the resourced of the
tenant. Rofusil moans eviction , and
payment starvation. With thousands of
people placed In this position , the human
and divine right of self-preservation as
serts itself. "Not a shilling for land
lords while hunger rocks
the slogan stalled byVilliam O'Brien
and re-echoed iu every corner of the
island.
The cry sent a thrill of terror to the
landlords and spuriod tbo government
to jnil every prominent Iiishimn guilty
of menacing the piofits of the aristo
cracy. The lessons of ovpeiionco are
lost on men capable of such c.ausoloss
tyranny , The jail , the bludgeon and t ho
bullet , tlio battering ram nnd the torch
have utterly failed to crush or oven subdue -
duo the determination of the people and
their leaders to battle for the right ot
life and legislative independence. Glad
stone resorted to the jail to stamp out
the land league , but P.nnoil and his fol
lowers not only emoiged from Kilmsin-
htiurundismayed. Their imprisonment
was the means of convoiting Gladstone
and the espousal of homo rule bj the
great libeial pu-ty of England. It is not
possible for history to repeat itself
wholly in the present case. The arrest
of O'Dricn , Dillon and other natioiulists
will not fora moment check the irresist
ible home rule tide , but It ib beyond the

Prohibition is now hero more unpopular
than In those localities where Jtlms succeeded
In obtaining considerable voguo. That has
been the experience in Maine , Massachusetts ,
Yoiinont and other eastern states , and these
western states which are now following the
example of the cast nro discoverim ? that pro
hibition is no mote palatable to them than It
lias been found to bo elseuhetc. The Impos
sibility of enforcing any prohibitory laws has
nlvvaj 3 been recognized by these at all con
versant with the matter , and however often
the experiment Is tiled tbo sumo result In
variably appears.
NotuitlisUmdinp the agitation In Iowa ,
Kansas and elsewhere over the "original
package" decision iu the United States supreme
premo comt a decision which , with the sub
sequent action of local courts nnd of congress
gross relating to the matter , would naturally
bo expected to oiiillfy the prohibition senti
ment of the communities , nnd , if anything , to
increase the popular indorsement of such
measuics prohibition has lost ground. In
ICans-is the popular disapproval of sumptuaiy
temperance luus promises now to result In
unusual political complications. Tlio oppon
ents of prohibition thcro Imvo united their
f 01 cos anil me about to inauguiato an ener
getic movement for the repeal of the prohibi
tory legislation that now stands on the stat
ute books of the state. It is significant of the
entire unpartisan character of tbls movement
that it 1ms enlisted the sympathy of men of
both political patties.

At funerals conducted by Episcopalian
clergj men , there nro no addresses delivered
by the officiating dean. By way of ex
planation , a prolito of that church said :
"Funeral ceremonies conducted by the
Episcopal church , or Church of England , nro
peculiar in ono respect they do not ,
oulinaiily , admit of anaddiossor speech of
any kind aside from the formal sen ice cm-
ployed at ovcry buiial , The reason given for
this are simple and potent. It is hold by the
believers in the Episcopalian doctrines that
to nilmit of infouiml speaking at funora's '
would bo n plain violation of the Christian ro-
Iglon inasmuch as it is likely to
boa dlrctinilnutlon in favoi of tbo lich or
great or gifted dead. In the eyes of God , the *
Episcopal faith teaches , nil icdeemed souls
aiu equal when they cross the nariow sei
that bounds the shoies of time , and no moro
demonstration should bo in ule over ono death
than over nnothei. Thoiich and poor , high
and low , it is held , should bo accorded the
same funeial ceremonies when they are laid
nvv ay.
"Thero have been instances where this
iiilo has been broken , but ills only where the
life of tlio person his been given over to
clurltablo vvoik or where- the intellectual
gifts of the deceased have been of orld-vviUo
icno\\n ,
"Sometimes thcio is hold what U known as
meinoilal seivhes , some tlmo after the
funeral , at which an address is considered
appropriate. At sucli a time the special
characteristics of tlio deceased mo usually
brought bcfiuo the auditors In n way that
may create lasting impressions. "

that Mrs. Mohr did not want to testify
