A seArcH warrant will have to be {ssued presently to discover the where- abouts of the enthuslasm for Mr. Hendrioks and the ‘‘old tlcket.” Tuxe National Republican commit- teoe will meet in Washington on the 12th of December next, to fix the date and place for holding the presidential convention of 1884 Ganerar Howarp s ‘‘getting ao- qualnted with his department” in the Yellowstone park, just at present lunch baskets and fishing poles being the principal means used in this se- rlous undertakicg. S— OxE use of the star route trials has been to demonstrate to the country the Integrity of the admlnistration. The republican party have peobed a good many uloers, Unfortunately they have had a good many to probe. THERE are several conjectures re- garding the cause of the failare of the star route prosecutions, but{the most reasonable {s that they were killed by too much talk, The wlad storm that blew for over twelve months in Wash- ington was enough to destroy any GENERAL CROOK has got his Indlans, and the question which now agltates the war department is how 1t shall dlispose of them. Secretary Teller declines the present with thanks, and Agent Wilcox, at 8an Carlos, politely azks to be ex: cused.

Senator Bock, In » sparm of sound oommon sense, has Informed his party that the democracy Is now on trial and probably for the last time. ‘‘The majority of the people of the United States,” sald the senator to a New York reporter, ‘‘ars tired of what you might call republican bosalsm, but don's thiuk that we, the demo orats, oan be trusted. We have a majority of the next congress, and the result will depend upon what we do, If we organiza and go honestly to work to leglalate for the good of the whole counmtry, put down monop- olles without alsturbing Industry, carry a genulne reform of the clvil service into effect, and keep clear of the idea that power is to be used only to reward political friends, we will elect the next president.” There is & bushel of gospel truth in Mr, Beck's view of the situation, The people of the United States are not yot ready to trust the democracy. They are beginning to distrust very serioualy the republican party. Boss- {ism and arrogance in the party leader- ship, » shameful disregard of public sentiment, and an attempt to use the perty organization slmply for the re- wards of party, ocsused the over- whelming defeat of the republicans last fall in thelr strongholds, and the election of a demccratic house withan unprecedented majorlty. That was in an off year It will depend entirely upon the con- duot of the democracy durlng the next sesslon of congresa whether the republican defeat of 1852 is to re. peated In 1884 ‘What the people ask of the demo- oratlo party is achlevement not prom- ises. Political promises are eaelly made. They are even more eas'ly broken, If the bourbon leaders hope te éapture the White House next ycar, they must begln by reforming them- government, OUR DIVOROCE LAWS. The case of Major Nickerson has attracted attentlon anew to the laxity of the laws governing divorces in the United States, Major Nickerson was » man of abllity and stood high In his profession. He lived happlly with his wife. for ten years, and then, as hundreds of other marrled men do, he became tired of the union and desired a change. At this polnt, where the law of the land ought to have proved an Insarmountable obstacle to the dissolution of his marriage tles, Major Nickerson found in it s willing helper. Having sent his wife off to Earope and fol- lowed her with atfectionate letters to disarm susplolon, he instituted pro- ceedings for divorce in a Philadelphia court, alleging desertion as the ground of his petition, Notlce of his inten- tion was published according to the requirements of the law, but was hid from sight In an obscure paper, and no defense belng made, after the wusual interval, the major was granted his request and a decree of absolute divorce Is. sued. Within two weeks Major Nickerson had married a young girl in Washington, taken her to the house formerly oocupled by his lawfal wife and thought himself secure in his now relation. Every provision of the law had been complied with, the proceed- ings were all regular on their face, but behind the cover of legal forms fraud and perjary bad boen masked at every step. It needed nothing but the re- turn of the defrauded woman and her sworn testimony In the court room to re-open the case, annul the decree and to send Major Nickerson a fugitive from justice and his home. The Nickerson divorce case is un- fortunately only a type of hundreds which every year are rushed through our courts, with no better reasous for the dlasolatlon of the marriage bonds. In our own state the growlng Increase in the number of divorces has already been commented upon In these col- amns, The laxity of our laws places a constant premium on family differ. ences, and offers strong ivcentlves to marital infidelity. Dlvorces are made even easler than marriages; the re- strictions agalnst fraud are so alight as to amount to practlcally nothing, and if the wife 1s too ignorant or too moek to assert her rights as Mrs. Nickeraon has done, the gravest of In- justices ls perpetrated by the helping hand of our judicial machiuery, as. sisted by dishonest plaintiffs and pet- tifogging end unscrapalons attorneys. There are several changes that might bs made with profit n ourdf. vorco laws. Personal servics on the defendant, where possible, should ba required, and where such ezorvico ia not possible, repoated publication in journals of wide circulation and acknowledged atanding ought to be in- slsted upon. Thoe sffilevits of the petitionera should be mado something more than a more form, and heavy penalties ought to be provided for fraud In securlng the decree, Finaily the timo of rastdenco in the state re- quired before bringlog suit ought to bo extended to one year. That would prevent the emigration to Nobrasks of scores of men whu come here every year with no other view than that of getting a secret divorcs In the quickest poseible time for spot cash, — THE Globe-Democrat says: “It is smusiog to note the rap'dity with which the problem of the Fort Nio- beara alleged atar route fraud !s as: anmed to be disposed of by some per- sons in Washington, The fact having been disclosed that there s & bitter feud between Senator Van Wyck and Ropresantative Valentine,and the lat- ter belng in some way Instrumental in starting the service, 1t is wup- § posed that the whole matter {s matls- factorlly explained, and that it may be dropped. - The average Washington mind is content to stop here. The subjoct s exhausted. But the people who care nothing at all about the mo. tives which led Senator Van Wyck to make bis charges, are simply inter- ested In knowing whether the charges are true or not, and insist upon belng informed. AMana STONE's entate foots up over $6,000,000, and his helrs have agreed toremember several relatives who were forgotten in the will, Itis not hard tobe a little generous with $6,000,000.

The parliamentary combination be- tween the clericals and conservatives failed ocorrespondingly, and the chancellor’s scheme to put through the biennial budget at this wession of the Reichstag scemed doomed te defeat, "Chen he resorted to a characteristic stroke of polioy. He had a bill introduced in the Prus. slan Landtag now sitting, emhodyiug all those features of the compromite which he had offered to the Pnfie, without insisting upon or waiting for the concession he had asked of the church. The press organ of the Vatican declared at once, as well it might, that this was exceedingly gratify. ing, and the clerical force In the Reich. #tag, being now reasonably sure to obtain for the church most of the things they contended for witheut any conaitions, showed thomselves willing to reward the Chancellor with their votes, Prince Bis- marck at the same time declared that the Reichstag would be dissolved unloss the budret was taken up for consideration on » given aay, thus trying to frighten weak- kneed Liberals. The result we find in the passago of the budget and the adjournment of the Imperial parliament, In the Landtag the first three clauses if the church bill have been accepted and the measure will probably p: most in 1ts entirety, The n:nter seem satisfied with the position of the government toward the church, and Rome s reported as greatly pleased with tho change in the imperial vrogramme, The bill is stated by the minister of public instruction to be an earnest endeavor on the part of the gov- ernment to ascertain whether it is possible to maiotain peace between the church and the state, Parlisment had progressed smoothly in its work during the week, The corrupt Fnuflcel bill has pasaed to the third read. ng; the grants to General Wolsely und Admiral Seymour have been made, and there have been no further evidences of defections from the liboral majority or of conlitions of the opposing factions, which might further weaken their stiength, The introdoction of Mr, 0'Con- nor’s Irish laborers’ bill, whoss aim is to improve the condition of the holdings snd ocottages of the working classes in Ireland through government aid, is another sur. firlla of the week, especially as it scems to nve rec.red the government sanstionm, The trials of the dynamitersin London have been concluded.

Flfhtlu may.begin before a formal declaration o hostilities has been issued. There Is good reason to believe that if the worst comes to worst, and the war actualy breaks out, the French will mnot find their campaign against the Chinese “a plenic,” One of the advocates of peace in the Chimber made a strong polnt upon this consideration in a recent debate. The Chinese of to-day, he said, weie not like the Chinese of 1860, and tne exploits of France in that year could not be repeated in 1883 with a few regiments and a dozen gunboats, The passage of the Pel-Ho is now defended by Krupp guns, and the Chinese artillerymen haye been in* structed by European™ officers, I , Furopeans and Amerioaus have been of- fered important commands in the Obiness army. The Chinese believe they can whip any force likely to te sent against them, and it is certaioly true that the French haye underestimated the fighting strength of Chins, just an Great Britain and every other civilized nation underra‘es the mar- tial power of barbarous or half-civilized opponents, In China the French willlabor undor the disadvantages insoparable from & campaign thousand of miles from home, As for the Chinese, the weakness of their finances is likely to prove the preatest hin- drance to & suocessful resistance. In Norway and Sweden the ministerial troubles have been tided over by the re- sumption of their portfolios by the old min. istry and & change in their prime miois- try.

But this is not at all the whole ex-. tant of the case, Tt is In evideuce and is admitted by Mr. Emer that the bida for the Niobrara route, to which Senator Van Wyck hes 8o opportunely called the attentlon of the country, were once rejected, owlog to objec— tions made to tho establishment of that route, The checks deposited by the bldders were returned. After the matter had thus been terminated, the department let the contract to thisin- dicted favorite without again caliing for bids, or proceeding in any way ac- cordlog to the requirements of the law.

He pats a ploturesque climax to his treach- ery by sending the clerks of the gov- eroment after Miner's oath and algna- toze to the lllegal ocontract Into the very room ‘in which the de- partment (of which Elmer is an cfficer) was trylog Miner for oriminal frands In jaet such contracts, When asked aboat his course, Elmer, well knowing the dizcretion which the law reposed In him as a sacred duty, and also well knowing that he had violated the law, ssld coarsely and falsely that if the devll were the lowest bidder he would hava had to give him the contract. The evidence hat the postoffics de- partment is all the time making new contracts with the very man whom 1t is_through the attornoy general's offics pretending to prosecute for crimi. nal fraud Is overwhelming, The ad- mi-{stration cannot exlst and do such things, They threaten government itealf, if not with lmmedlate collapse, at least with a deadly and Insidious deosy.

The Apaches, whom General Orook has just been fighting, are reckoned the most oruel and treacherons tribe amoog the red moer; and yet three fourths of Crook's own force were Apaches, and served him with perfcct good falth snd loyalty. They might, at any moment while he was in the moun- taln defiles, bave killed every white man {o the command, Had they dono so, the fact would not have been knoown for months, and thelr capture and punishment would have been im- probable, Tt is clear that General Crook based his expedition on his complete faltk in tho loyalty of his Indian allies, and Oeneral Miles tells us that they have never been known to break faith un- der stm!ilar circumstances.
