The prohibitionists of this congres
sional district have called a convention
for to-day. The purpose is to scan the
republican ticket , and if any candidates
appear thereon who are not avowed
prohibitionists , they purpose nominat
ing others in their place. It is under
stood that the democratic ticket is to bo
ignored completely. Such is the whis
pered policy to bo followed.

An article appeared in an Omaha
morning paper yesterday in defense of
ho policy pursued by the head of the
Ire department. "Budge' ' wants it
distinctly understood that ns long us
luyor Rohrcr is satisfied with what is
oing on , no ono else has any business
o make a kick. Ho says the lire do-
lartment is conducted excellently. IIo
icglccts to state that while Sowders and
Sanderson got drunk and were lib-
charged , other members of the do-part-
nent get drunk repeatedly , make dis
gusting exhibitions of themselves in
jublic and finally land in the police
tation , where they are registered under
in assumed name ( Charley Ross is the
mme on the police register of a "way
up" flro fighter ) , and then the case is
lushed up before it comes fo trial.
'Budgo" also neglects to state how tome
of the fire laddies who "stand in , "go
ip on "the row" and assault boys in
heir teens and other similar actions.
Llicso things all happen in our "excel-
ently conducted" department. San-
lerson must not leave the house while
jn duty , although his su-
) erior tells him to go and got
glass of beer , still this same
superior can leave the house for two or
hreo hours to net ns second to ono of
, ho principals in a prize light. Another
nember ol the department has a "day
oil" whenever ho chooses to take one ,
mil gets gloriously drunk and drives
urioubly down some of the principal
streets of the city. This "excellently
conducted" department is indeed a
uodel. It deserves great praise , accord-
ng to "Budgo , " but respectable citizens
ail to discover anything particularly
amiable connected with its present man-
igement.

An Intllignniit Officer.
Officer Thomas gained a little un-
ileasant notoriety yesterday. Ho was
ipproachetl on the street by Dr.
mends , and the latter , who had appar
ently been drinking , began to speak
abusively of the officer's wife , applying
all manner of vile epithets to her. This
was more than Thomas could endure ,
and ho struck Einonds across the face
with his open hand. The latter per
sisted in his abuses and Thomas struck
dim again. Bystanders then interfered
and the officer left the spot. There had
been bad blood between the parties for
some time. Emends was a former suitor
for the hand of Mrs. Thomas , but his at
tentions were not favorably received by
that lady. It is reported that the doc
tor tried on several occasions to make
trouble between Thomas nnd his
ntfianced , but was unsuccessful. After
the couple were married. Emends made
out a bill for professional services
and put it in the hands of
Ovido Vion for collection. When it
was presented , Thomas waxed wroth ,
and stated that ho had never owed
Einonds a dollar in his life , and that the
latter know bettor than to present the
bill himself , as it would win for him a
broken head. The two met on the
street yesterday , as stated , and Emends
remarked that ho understood that the
ollicer was going to kill him. Thomas
denied over saying anything of the
kind , but intimated that he had better
not jjresent a bill. Emends became very
abusive , and blows ensued. The officer
immediately overstepped his bounds
from a legal point of view , as the law
distinctly says that no words can justify
an assault , but the spectators say that
Einonds did not get half his just deserts.
His language is described as being most
abusive and exasperating , as well as an
uncalled for attack upon the wife of a
respectable citizen.

ff > SS liy James Gordon NimitM
LONDON , Oet , 15 , f New York Herald Cable
Special to Tun HER. ] The Ually Tele-
has closed Ua discussion of the burn-
ng question ' 'Is Mnrrlaga a Failure ) " and It
luarncd from the hcaJquarturs of that
newspaper tl.at the controversy evoked sev
eral thousand communications , four-ilftbs of
vhluhvcro clinfT , but the remainder sin
cerely written uiM making pleasant reading.
Mrs. Mona Cainl , whoso Review article had
iislrcd | ) the discussion , Is now being lionized ,
iut In reality she was anticipated a few
ears ago by George Lcwh , In au article en-
itled "Marriage and Ulvorco" In the Fort
nightly Heviuw , signed by George II. Lewis ,
'opularly ' the letter "H" has been dropped ,
coclcnoywlsc , ami ho Is called familiarly by
everybody by his two minrjs only. 1 found
lim recently cheerily walking through the
groups of waiting clients in the immense-
nanslon , once tno pataco of the bishops of
Cly , wherein Is his suite of oniccs.
"Vcs , " said he , adjusting his traditional
eye-glasses and Insensibly gliding Into his
veil-known persuasive tone , "I folio wed the
lowspapcr discussion during my sliort vaca-
ion and was most amused with the airy
lothlngness which characterized the corre-
pondencc. Few of the writers seemed to
ipprcclato the gravity of the subject. "
"In your extensive practice you must have
md great experience i"
Mr. Lews . "Some
( moder.itcly ) experi
ence , certainly , botli of marriage failure and
narital success. "
"You have been concerned in ma ny dl.
orco cases , down to your recent Dilko and
Crawford and Lady Colin Campbell cases ,
vhlch seem to prove the iifllinative J"
"Yes , perhaps several hundred that went to
.rial , and many tnoro which were adjusted. "
"Then you have happily Illustrated the
ihraso Componcre lites'f"
"Happily * yes. I always prefer to antici
pate the court rooms. "
"Then pit-Imps you can answer the qucs-
ion. How about you legal cxperienco as to
whether marriage is a failure ! "
The failures are in a great minority
These naturally mike noise and attract at
cntion , while marital peace and happiness ,
icing unobtrusive , does not become sta
tistical. "
'The recent newspaper discussion evolved
mother question , whether the divorce laws
should be amended extended * by parlia
ment to meet the hardships of many married
failures. "
" 1 am fully on record ns to that Inquiry m
my article , written at the request of Mr. E.
Scott when he conducted the Fortnight ly
Heview. Your question was debated thirty
years ano , when the divorce act of Palmer-
Uon's government was passing. Since then
the decisions in our divorce courts have tried
and furrowed the features of not a few of
our English homes. Many injustices
liave operated , notably on women ,
and class amendments must inevita
bly bo introduced. Particularly , the
position of women under the divorce law
should be assimulated to that of man. I
have in my article written thus : 'Divorce at
present is a perquisite of the man. The law
empowers man , hownvor monstrous his own
maiital conduct may have been , to turn his
wife into the street , and separate her from
every intercourse with her children , or leave
her to starve m the workhouse , if in a mo
ment of weakness she forgets her marriage
vows. Hut the woman , who has been sub
jected to her husband's open and continuous
adultery , even under the conjugal roof , is
unable to obtain a divorce only separation
unless he has been gullity of cruelty or two
years' desertion as well as adultery. Our
act in this respect displays blind ignorance
of domestic tragedies. It is drawn with the
selfish object of ministering to man's worse
Jealousies without attempting to give woman
equal claims over the fidelity of her hus
band. I believe the time is not far distant
when woman will raise an effective outcry
against the abuse of the present system.1"
"Practically what is your remedy for the
mischiefi"
"In addition to their present rights women
ought to bo entitled to a divorce for cruelty
endangering life , for two years and upward
desertion without reasonable cause , for ths
adultery of the husband committed In her
home or elsewhere , if under disgraceful and
aggravating cicuumstanccs , and for.tho con
viction and sentence of the husband to live
years and upward penal servitude for crime. "
"What about insanity ! "
"If incurable for two yeaos , there should
bo divorce to cither party. "
The interview was closed by Mr. Lewis
turning to the consideration of another par
liamentary Job , the huge papers as to which
labelled "Ho Parnell-Times
were - Commis
sion , " on which matter ho is to be in the con
duct of the homo rulers' side.
There are not half a dozen men In Great
Hritain who could give sounder opinions on
the subject ns to whether marriage is a fail
ure then Montague Williams. Ho held the
most extensive practice us a barrister ever in
the hands of one man in the London criminal
courts for years. Now , owing to the failure
of his voice , ho has become the most popular
magistrate of the London metropolitan bench ,
and everyday has to deal with numerous dis
affected husbands and wives. I called upon
him and asked his ideas on the "Marriage a
Failure" question.
Said he ; "You are wrong in supposing
that people who como to mo in court seeking
separation arc of the lower classes. Women
are nearly always the complainants. "
"What power have you to right their
wrongs ) "
"For separation from bed and board I have
powers Just as strong as those obtaining in
the divorce court. The law was generally
construed by magistrates that if a woman
came into court and could show that her
husband was guilty of cruelty and violence ,
a judicial separation should bo given and the
husband ordered to * make an allowance of so
much per week , in accordance with his
means. At the saiqo time the husband was
sent to prison. Hut I got hold of the act and
read it through carefully. I conceived that
it was not necessary to send the man to
prison , for by so doing I should disable him
from making the allowance to thn woman by
stopping his pay. Therefore , if it can pos
sibly bo avoided , I "do not send the man to
orison , but I grant Reparation and allowance.
This course I proposu , continuing until it bo
appealed against successfully in the higher
courts. "
"Doesn't that make a dissolution marriage
rather easy I"
"No , not too much so. I exercise my dis
cretion. Besides , us a'rule the women have
children to maintalni'Hiid if they are subse
quently proved to bo Jiving in adultery I im
mediately stop the allowance. "
"Do you considcr.hiatriago a failure among
the poor of London'lJM
"Yes ; very oftenJJut I am not prepared
with a remedy. The worst cases are those
of rash young people , clerks on small pay ,
who marry pennyless shop girls. They have
not sufllcient to hvo upon. The man soon
finds his homo uncomfortable. What was
enough for one was not enough to keep the
house up. Ho gets his wages , and instead
of taking them homo ho Is tempted to spend
them In the public house. "Then ho goes
homo and beats his wife. Such uro a largo
number of cases In which marriage is a fail
ure. "
"Would you suggest n matrimonial com
mission to sit upon young couples about to
marry ! "
Mr. Montague Williams smiled. "No , " ho
said , "not quite so bad ( as that. Hut every
body would be doing good who should do
everything in their power to btop these Im
prudent marriages. "
"What do you think of the state of people
who live as married couples m the east end
without being married ! "
"Very bad , very bad. A great deal moro
than half of the couples in the cast
end .aw unmarried. In a largo
number of these case * the men send
their ivsmeti out to earn a llvlnp nt nlpht by
Immoral means. Hero is another llugrant
example where the lack of marriage Is adls-
mnl failure. "
' In there no remedy ! "
"None tliat I can sue. It U n terrible state
of affairs without any remedy that 1 can
"And with the tipper classes ! "
"Iho law requires amendments. As it
now stands It Is mudo by man for man. For
Instance n man can pet n divorce from a
woman for adultery , but a woman cannot
divorce a man for adultery unions coupled
with cruelty or desertion. When Judicial
separations arc granted In the divorce court ,
Justice Hull or Haiinan generally makes out
an order granting the woman alimony. "
"Ho you think uiarrlaco a failure In the
upper classes I"
"I think , " said Mr. Williams , dodging the
question , "that the upper classes often
think so from the number of divorces which
arc annually obtained by man and wife.
The number of made-up or collusive divorces
which arc obtained In the divorce court are
remarkable. If husband and wife agree , as
they so often Jo , on mutual divorce , nothing
Is easier than to prove cruelty and adultery
also , for the matter of that. 1 do not want
to mention names , as It would not
bo fair. Ono of the most open
cases Is that of u well-known M. ! . ,
out the matter was hushed up. Tlio
lady In question is the daughter of a duke ,
and is now a peeress. Marriage was cer
tainly a failure there. "
A HorcTlmmt or Coucti , If suffered to
progress , often results in an incurable throat

San Francisco Chronicle : Ono of the
most brilliant feats of French reporting
is the following. It happened at the
time when the great Traupmunti mur
der case was agitating Parisnnd Franco
and when everybody was pager for de
tails. A reporter , who had the matter
in hand , left Paris for Cornoy. where
the father of Traupnmnn resided. Ho
arrived , called on the justice of pence
and the eommissairo de police , invited
thorn to follow him to the mairie. took
his seat in the judge's chair , and with
unparalleled audacity , ordered the
garde do chumpetrc to go and bring before -
fore him the assassin's father. The of
ficers did not say a word ; and the re
porter had conquered them bv his air
nnd demeanor. When the hither of
Traupmann was brought before him ,
the reporter interrogated him us though
ofllcinll.v commissioned to do so. The
result of the cross-questioning was that
the boy hud written to his father on the
eve and on the day of the crime. "Mon
sieur do eommissairo " the
, says re
porter , "please to go to the witness's
house and seize these letters. " The
functuary obeyed ; the letters were
brought , and the reporter read them ,
found them full of evidence of Trnup-
mann's guilt , copied them carefully , and
with u solemn air. Then , , with respect ,
he handed over the originals to the jus
tice of the peaceasked him to scnl them
carefully , nnd keep them forthe further
use of the court. The reporter put the
copies into his pocket , milutod the gen
tlemen , and left. It was one o'clock in
the afternoon , nnd the train that was to
bear his letter to Paris would not leave
before evening. If he hunt his precious
burden by that train it would botoolato
for the morniilg edition of his pipor.
Itositlcs , he met two other Paris report
ers , who had just arrived , stud who
would ( -non learn the iiows at C'ernay ,
and send it on to Paris at the same time
ho did his report. What does he deV
lie goes up to his brother reporters and
says"I am dying of hunger , my friends.
Let us breakfast together. You go to
the tavern there and order a good de
jeuner , with plenty of wine , you know ,
and I'll come presently. " The two re
porters did ns ho bndc'them. while our
friend jumped into a wagon , and had
himself driven to the stationafter ; hard
begging and giving money , ho was al
lowed to leave on a luggage train , then
about to start , caught a passenger train
for Paris at a junction farther on , and
arrived at the ollice of his prelate at
night. He communicated his informa
tion , and the iirst page , which was al
ready "closed up , " was reset. The next
morning eighty thousud copies were
sold.
The soft glow of the tea rose is ac
quired by ladies who use Pozzoni's Com
plexion Powder. Try it.
About 12:30 : this morning Officer Mar
tin , of the merchants' police , discovered
two men in the act of burglarizing
Moore & Kipllnger's cigar store. Draw
ing his revolver ho covered them and
marched them both to the police station.
