Uniform Divorce Laws. There is reason for general congratula- tion In the announcement from Cleveland that the “uniform law commission” in ses- sion there has practically agreed upon a form of divorce law that. it is hoped, will at some future day be in force in all the states of the Union. The Star has in the past taken occasion whenever the subject was appropriate to urge the need of such a step. It is manifest that as long as the present lack of system prevails, not only in the matter of divorces but in other lines of civil and criminal law, the legal pro- ceedings in the various states will be marked by inequalities and injustice. The divorce laws now administered consti- tute what is little short of a national scandal. It is a topic for frequent and pointed reference abroad, and one of the earliest criticisms often made by intelli- gent and observant travelers in this coun- try is that there is undue laxity in the legal forms surrounding both marriage and its dissolution. With strict laws relating to these subjects closely enforced in one state it is comparatively easy for residents of that state to cross the borders into an- other jurisdiction and there secure the ad- vantage of a more liberal and less careful system, to the great confusion of many interests. Thus New Jersey has surrounded marriage with few forms, and the condi- tion of matrimony is not as carefully guarded as it should be. On the other hand, the New York law as to divorce is rigid and enforced with a commendable degree of strictness. Unhappy New York couples, however, find easy relief from their bends in New Jersey, and still easier remedy for their marital ills in the Da- kotas, Oklahoma, Illinois and some other western states that have opened wide the doors of the divorce courts to husbands and wives from other communities. It is the chief object of a special organization composed of some of the most intelligent men and women in the country to secure greater, if not absolute, uniformity in these matters, and now it appears that, possibly through the efforts of this society, the “uniform law commission” has taken up the matter, to the end that the law now in force in this District may be adopted as the basis of a statute that will be recom- mended for general enactment in every state and territory in the country. This recommendation will be made through the National Bar Association, which has for some years been striving to achieve the end of greater uniformity in the state laws relating to several subjects. The laws of marriage are susceptible of similar rear- rangement, and various other matters might readily and profitably be included in the harmonizing movement. —+2e—___. Pensions. The amount paid out for pensions has recently again been the subject of some d@scussion. Critics of the roll have com- plained that the amount remains too large; that at this late day after the close of the war the appropriations for that purpose should show a material falling off from the figures of former years. Without entering into any’ details, it can be stated as a fact that no other allow- ance made by Congress is so cheerfully made as that for the provision of the maimed and helpless veterans of the civil war. While the estimates and reports are carefully exemined by the House commit tee which prepares the pension bill, the bill when brought into the House is always disposed of promptly and unreluctantly. Republicans, democrats and populists all unite in their estimates of the deserts of the old soldiers. There is not a division to be traced even between the men who fcught for and those who fought against the Union. The ex-confederate members support the bill as cheerfully as do those who were on the other side. The occasion seems to suggest to nobody in Congress a theme for a homily on government ex- travagance in dealing with the men whose services thirty odd years ago made it pos- sible for the government at this day to appropriate money for anything. The pension roll is long. The cmount the roll carries is large. But neither fact is to be justly considered apart from that other controlling fact, that the services thus rewarded are the most notable and important that have been rendered to the government by any men since the govern- ment itself was established. This is a fact beyond all question. And the country at large reccgnizes !t. The scenes now being enacted at Buffalo are scenes that have been witnessed these twenty years past. Wherever the Grand Army of the Republic has held its national encampment it has teen welcomed with an enthusiasm know- ing no bounds. Time does not diminish that, nor is it likely to do so. The grat- itude of the people for the sacrifices of the men who defended the Union when the Union was in danger remains as great to- day as when those sacrifices had just been made. The pension roll has often been assailed, but never successfully. It has been pre- pared under the direction of Congress, and it has met with the approval of Congress, and Congress, in obedience to the popular will, will continue to do justice to the men whose names are honorably on it. Count- ing tke years or the pennies against the old soldiers is rather poor employment. ——»>+ee—___ It is now suspected that the sultan’s ambitions have progressed beyond the mere massacre of Armenians and that he bas stimulated the Mahometans in India to undertake a similar enterprise with ref- erence to Englishmen. ——_+e+e—____ Some of the hot-tempered Greeks are so far oblivious to the running expense their government has already incurred that they are anxious to start a new pension list. —_~eeo—___ In spite of their reputation for the pos- session cf a quick sense of humor a large number of the French people continue to teke the recent duel seriously. ———++e—____ The mercantile chemists are doubtless already at work on a search for some re- liable imitation of wheat. cst Useless Shrabbery in the Park: Col. Bingham's efforts to clear out the useless and obstructive shrubbery in the local parks are in every way commendable and if carried out with discretion they will undoubtedly not orly add to the Picturesque beauties of the reservations but improve their moral atmosphere as well. The com- parative newness of these parks has pre- vented the growth of tall trees and thus for landscape effects the lower shrubs have had to be planted, in order that the areas might not be marked by broad vacant spaces. When the trees have grown to their full height and the effect of forest Aolizge is attained the lower growths can be abandoned in many cases. Even now he tangle of shrubbéry is frequently an eye-sore instead of, as intended, an-attric~ tion. The chief value of these masses_of little trees ligs in the variety of their greens and in the blending of the colors of thelr bloesoms in spring and early summer. But the time has come to clear out many of them, In the interest of decency and good order. It is notorious that some of the public reservations in this city are places of refuge for criminals and petty offenders and that they also at times invite and shelter the commission of crime. They aid the highway robber in his deeds and his flight and often the police are wholly baf- fled in their efforts to maintain law and order by reason of these dense thickets. One of the causes contributing to this con- dition has been the lack of proper illum- ination in the parks. Congress has hitherto seemed indifferent to the pleas for greater lighting facilities, apparently not realizing that there is just as much necessity in the main for lights in the reservations as in the streets, and in some instances much more need. Gradually this lesson is being taught. But even with plenty of light the mazes of shrubbery will continue to afford hiding places for evil-doers and it fs in the interest of decency and safety that these growths be removed, even though the pro- cess may smack of vandalism. The work done in this line in the Capitol grounds is an evidence of the benefit that can be de- rived from this process. —_ + oe —____ Union Against Tammany. Chairman Quigg of the republican com- mittee has decided to invite to a cenfer- ence representatives of all organizations existing within the territory of Greater New York opposed to the return of Tam- n.any Hall to power. He considers that the republicans should take the initiative be- cause that party will supply the bulk of the votes that will be thrown against Tam- many at the November election. In times of a great variety of opinion a conference is always a good thing, and as this One is to be held for a very meritorious purpose it is to be hoped that good results will fcllow it. Tammary Hall has repeatedly shown it- self to be incapable of an honest adminis- tration of affairs committed to its hands. No other political organization in this coun- try bas so many black marks against It. It has been a skillful and systematic plun- derer, and the disclosures which drove it from office a few years ago showed a state of rottenness without a parallel. So utter- ly black was the record, indeed, that any erdinary organization would have gone completely to pieces under the shame and burden of it. But Tammany is no ordinary organiza- tion. It survives the severest defeats, and it is now, in less than three years after its latest beating, on deck again, full of asser- tion, and, by one of those curious turns of the political wheel, the object of sympathy and attention on the part of some very strong men anxious to make use of it for beth local and national ends. Although having its home in the great sound money center of the country, Tammany is now a Bryanized concern and the hope of those silver leaders of the west who consider it important to keep a representative on deck “an the enemy’s country” to confer with and through which to operate touching the future plans of the silver party. Here then are two reasons why the re- turn of Tammany to power in New York would be a public misfortune. It would be certain to mark the reinauguration of all the old schemes of plunder upon a scale commensurate with the larger opportunity of the enlarged city; and it would be a silver triumph, unmistakble though slightly disguised, achieved in the very heart of scund money territory. Whatever is pos- sible to be done, therefore, to prevent so great a catastrophe should receive the at- tention and assistance of all who value the city’s good name and prosperity and the public credit. ———_++e—___ Capture Dorsey Foultz. The police are still looking for Dorsey Foultz and the reports still indicate that the fugitive is roaming around his old haunts in this city. The new regime in the detective office ought to be marked by the capture of this murderer. He is evi- dently receiving aid and comfort from a large number of his friends, and it might he wise for the poiice to make a beginning of arrests among these accessories. Per- haps Foultz’s companions and acquaint- ances might be taught that they owe some measure of duty to the community. The case has grown into the proportions of a disgrace to the District and no pains <hould be spared to put an end to the affair. The fact that the man is armed and is a des- erate character should not operate to af- ford him a free zone. Far more difficult captures have frequently been made, and if, ts there is every reason to believe, the criminal is in hiding in this city there is no good excuse for his continued success- ful defiance of his pursuers. ——>+o—_. Illegal Hunting Discouraged. The local season for the legal shooting of river game birds opens next Wednes- day, but it has been the reprehensible custom of certain of the “sportsmen” of the District to go irto the marshes ahead of time to c>tain better chances for large bags of game. Of late a determined effort has been made all along the line to put an end to these practices and the game warden and his assistants this year have done exceptionally good work in trying to discourage illegal shooting. Today Judge Kimball in sentencing two flagrant offen- ders to pay as heavy fines as the law al- lows afforded a fitting supplement to the close patrolling of the marshes and feed- ing grounds of the snipe, plover, reed birds and ortolan. The nearness of the legal sea- son does not seem to diminish the activity of the officers in the least and perhaps It will gradually become the custom of the local hunters to observe the calendar, ———>+e—___ When a G.

It is likely that the present advance in the market price of wheat will not affect the retail price of bread to the local con- sumers. The bakers in other cities early decided that unless the wheat market touched $1.25 or even in some cases $1.50, there would be no justification for ad- vancing the bread rate, which is now lo- cally uniform at five cents a loaf. The reason for this lack of simultaneous ad- vance is that the cost of the flouF is only one cf a number of elements that enter into the cost of the bread itself. The chief item, labor, remains stable, and the other ingredients in the composition of the bread are not affected,by the rise in wheat. Thus a wide margin exists between the wheat price and the retail bread rate. The bak- ers utilized this fact to their own advan- tage some time ago when The Star under- took to bring about a reduction in the price of bread to four cents to’ correspond with the low flour prices then prevailing. This effort succeeded and for a time the general local rate was four instead of five cents, but the bakers persisted in their contention that there was no direct ratio between the two rates and eventually suc- ceeded in re-establishing the old price. It is now to be noted that most of the bak- ers are supplied with large stocks of flour, purchased when wheat was low, and thus they are making bread with low-priced meterials ard cas -not-im rearen> that they are justified in even es an advance until_they ve exhausted their present supplies. It Is not expected that wheat will reach the rates noted as {he maximum beyond which the bread rates can not remain as at present. The foreign demand will soon be an exactly known quantity, 2s will the domestic sup- ply and demand, and thus the wheat rates, which are now subject to frequent fluctuations, will presumably reach a stable point. There is no reason for apprehen- sion on the part of the bread users that its price will be affected save perhaps in the case of those who patronize the few bakers who, being independent of the or- ganization rates, are now able to retail small quantities at three cents. —_—_++-—___ If Mr. Croker is sincere in his disinclina- tion to remain a political figure, he might go to Princeton and persuade ex-President Cleveland to deliver a course of lectures on reliable methods cf making a retirement from public life permanent. ——»++e—____ If this country can be buncoed into pay- ing damages to Spair for alleged filibuster expeditions, the very deliberately conducted campaign in Cuba may turn out to be a neat speculation. ——~>+e—___.

There are some folk eccentric in The way they tell their views. It's “speculation” if you win And “gambling” if you lose. “Dah’s only one pusson,” said Uncle Eben, “dat I has my doubts of mo’ dan de man Gat keeps talkin’ "bout “how gocd he is; an’ dat’s de man dat flourishes a razzer an’ tells how bad he is.” A Dear Gir! Conscience. “Of course,” said Maud thoughtfully. “If somebody steals something from you and then gives it right back again that dcesn’t make you a receiver of stol2n goods, does it?” I shouldn't think so,” “What made you ask?” “Cholly Chuggins stole a kiss from me the other evening.” replied Mamie. A Successful Cultivator. “Do you think that farming can be made profitable?” “Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum; “if It’s done right. I farmed for six weeks last year.” “Did you make it pay?” “I should say I did. I raised over three thousand votes by it.” Changed. “Whut strikes me in connection weth that politician’s views,” eaid the rural statesman, “is tie liberality of the man.” “He's clean outgrowed that,” replied Farmer Corntossel, positively. ‘He won't git up on a platform now an’ teil what his views are onless the committee guarantees him five hundred dollars.” What He Misses. The hours of vacation are waning, And the townsman will soon come back, With a courage that scorns complaining O’er the things he henceforth must lack. He must struggle to meet new conditions As gracefully as he can; Talking politics with politicians Instead of the hired man. He must drink from a cool soda fountain Instead of a luke-warm spring. No mere can he climb up the mountain. A swift elevator’s the thing That takes him aloft every morning. And he’s kept brsy dodging, just now, The cable car, loud in its warning, Instead of the silent cow. Importance of the Convention. From the Baltimore American. It is not too much to say that the con- venticn which meets at Ocean City tomor- row will either make or break the repub- Mean party in this city, and, therefore, in the state. +. Need of Harmony. From the Baltimore Sun. The democratic organization, whose mis- management brought about the party de- feat in Maryland in 1895, has shown no signs of repentance or amendment. On the contrary, in 1996 {t invited and received a still more crushing popular rebuke by add- ing to all previous errors that of indorsing the Chicago platform and the candidacy of Mr. Bryan. It did this under the same leadership which had brought about the de- fection and the disaster of 1895. Today the organization remains practically unchang- ed; the leaders are the same; there {is noth- ing on the part of either to encourage or invite a reversal of the verdict of 1805 or 1896. What, then, is the position of the republi- cans? In the face of the fact that they have the same enemy to meet, and that they are dependent upon the same assist- ance in order to meet that enemy cuccess- fully, they appear to be jeopardizing all their chances of success by foolish end un- necessary factional quarrels among them- selves. Democrats can justify the deep di- visions in their own ranks by the schism produced by the action of the Chicago con- vention and the irreconcilable differences’ between the advocates of a gold standard and those of “free silver at 16 to 1.” The republicans, without a sign of any differ- ence upon any question of party principle, or state or national policy, have suffered themselves to be divided and torn into fac- tions over a mere question of nominations and offices. This is so in this city, appar- ently. It is so in more than one of the counties, The lesson as to the fatal conse- quences of a want of harmony, taught by the recent experfence of the democretic party in this state, seems to have been lost for the moment equally upon republican leaders and upon the party rank-and-file. Dissensions, however, which are merely personal differences of opinion as to who the party nominee should be, are much more easily healed than those whicn relate to cardinal prizciples and features of the party creed. Whether the republicans will have the wisdom to compose their merely personal and factional differences before the day of election, and so unite and har- monize the forces which won the victories of the past two years, remains to be seen. That it will be the part of patriotism, no less than of wisdom, to do so is too plain for discussion. Harmony is just as essen- tial to republican party success as it is to democratic. ———>+e—____. The Causes of Depression. Speaker Reed in the Illustrated American. Just notice how severe is the punishment of a nation which merely overstays its time of prosperity. We have in the United States and its wonderful upliftings in the direction of wealth special temptations, and we stay prosperous, in our minds at least, longer than other nations; and the result is that we suffer more severely than they. We are also the last to recuperate. ‘We make hay abundantly when our sun is shining and the barns are full. Why should we be careful about hay? Let the cattle trample on it and be bedded init. We have plenty. Why should we who revel in abundance glean also the fields like the poor? In such times we all become lavish and expect pennies to take care of them- selves. We go on from one folly to an- other. We spend capital and persuade our- selves that we are only spending income.

Tomorrow we shall offer you mothers with boys to clothe an opportunity to buy the famous “Mother's Friend” shirt waists for less than you’ve ever known. The offer is made possible only because of a special purchase just made a few days ago at a great deal less than the usual wholesale cost. These waists are made of the well-known Sea Island percale— in the prettiest patterns imagin- able—and have patent button bands, which are removed when the waists go to the laundry, thus making it impossible for the buttons to tear out. As you doubtless know, the stores about town ask 85 cents for “Mother's Friend” shirt waists—some even ask more. As long as this lot holds out you may take your choice for 47 cents. Hardly necessary to tell you there'll be a great scramble for ’em at this price. Indeed, you'd better hurry : _ Lothrop, roth, rith and F Sts. N. W.
