His income was eiohteen thousand dollars au fathier was one of the lenders inNew York's upper erustfour hundred. The family name which he bore s shone in all the pagesof Amervican his- tory, his great grandfather being amem- ber of Washington’s cabinet, and on down in different years one of the Ham- iltons had been conspicuous one w another. Robert, the wayward young man, was himself a member of the New York legislature for four terms, wis a swioty leader, was a man of engaging presence, great talents and hada future that would have beenan honorable one, but forthe fact thata notorious siren had enticed him within her folds. All persons remember of the exposure of his living with this mistress whomhe passed ashis wife,and of the child that was born tothem. A social uphenvel fol- lowed the exposire. The woman was sent tojail,and Robert Ray banishod himsell: sceking vefuge in the willer- ness of Idaho, whewe he pur- chased a ranche a hundred miles from arailrond or telegraph station and went tolive alone. In bathing in the Great Snake river a week ago, he was drowned. Thisis allthere is about it. He was evidently aman of nomoral eharacter, a weakling with money. He abused his talents, disgraced his parents and hisan- costry, and banked on his fortune and name {0 give him social position. And herein is the world wrong. It throws up its hands in holy horror when a man of thatsort, a mn who had every rea- son for being good, beciwuse he goes wrong, and accepts 28 o matter of cowrse the downfall ofsome poor wrelch who was born with his noseto the grind- stone, and had 1o particular reason for being good. hatthe young man wasted histal- ents and his opportunities; that he met an untimely death, both these circum- stances are causes for the moralist to dwell upon, but the maudlin columuns of gush that his departure from the mater- ial world have evoked, seem entire of place. He had every reason inthe world for not doing what he did, and no reason in the world for allowing himself to indulge in intrigues with a wanton woman who had interest. only In obtain- ing his income. Briefly, thew is no particular occasion for any tears over young Hamilton's demise. MAD, wis THE DOMESTIC PURSE STRINGS, The great majority of married wonen will heartily acquiesce in the opinion of Mrs. Alice E. Ives, a3 expressed inthe Soptenber Forum, that ono of the ory ing evils of the time is thelackof pocket money, or pin money, forr wives, with its consequence of their slavish pec uninry dependence on thelr husbands, M Ives lus evidently been giving this matter very careful and patient consid- tion, forshe supports hor argument with illusty drawn from actual life, where wivesof vich men maintain- ing luxurious establishments are kept i penuiless themselves. The nds pay the millinery and othor bills, though not without more or loss grumbling, but they do not provide their wives with a private purse which they ean draw onat pleaswe for their little wants and chavities, Whenever tho wives require money they must beg it from their lords and account forthe way in which they intend to dispose ofit. Theroare many cases in which married women looked upon asrichand enviable are realy poorsr than their sorvants and enjoy loss liberty, They are treated as ifthey couldnot be trusted with money and were without any fiun- cinl diseretion. As aconsequence it is not uncommon for women so neglected to practice deceit and trickery in order toobtain & few dollars that they can use intheirown way, M. Ives says that they get their milliners tosend in a bill for" forty dollars iustead of thirty in order to tuke the extra tem for them- selves, but others too conscientious to do this secretly work for the pittance of a sowing girlin orler to escape from pes cuniavy bondage, Mrs, Ives very properly says that the system of regarding the wife as finan- cllly and monlly irresponsible is a serious evil to be looked squarely in the face and honestly dealt with. “The woman who has no knowl edge of her Thuband's finan- cial interests; who, instead of being his confidentinl partier, &5 his pensione will, if she gets the opportunity, in nine riin him through her Murs, Ivessays that young are self-reliant and softenshrink from mary ot bear to be so de- onght to be nogrounds ar, and with many delicate- minded, broad-souled, deep-thinking men there beeause to such o man thewifeis anequal sharer in all things, in his purse as well as inhis heart.”’ Still, Mrs. Ives, one cannot blama independent women for hesitating before they take a leap inthedark. The French have an excellent custom of necumulating o dowery for every daughter of o funily,no matter how humble. I rom the daythechild is born themoney for the purpose is laid asile, anl i as she grows she eams money for heself, she herslf contributes to it, Then when shemarries she has a little money capi- tal of her own, with all the accruing morl and material advantages. It isa sound system which ought to be gener- ally adopted. Mes, Tves suggests that nowommn ought to marry without hav- ngsome understanding with her future hushand regarding a weekly money al- ce, but obviously the introluction of 5 practicl a matter as this would hardly be favor ble to the love-making. The question is a very interesting oneto multitudes of girls and married women, and Mrs, Ives has done well in bringing it to public attention. cass outof ton, ignorance, women wvho il salari earn age for thisf says THE GOVERNMENT OF CITIES. One of the most interesting papers reud atthe late session of the Social Scienceassociation was that of Proesi- dent Andrew D. White on the govern- ment of American cities. There is no problem of greater interest to every thoightful American, and yet there fewthat havereceived so little intelli- gentattention. The origin of our free institutions was inthe township and vil- lage governments transplanted to our shores by the colonists, and it would seem tobe aseasylo expand the spstem under which the g0 Wi well orderedand governed into a system of ool municipil government as to adapt it tothenecessities of a greatnation. T he factis, however, that while the na- tioml syster is a success the applica- tionof the sume prineiples to muni administration appears, when measured by its results, to be a failure, The phe- nomenal growth of our cities makes this failire o matter of most vital import- tance. President White attributes most conspicuous evils in our mu- nicipal governments to the popu- lar refisal to govern them except through the ordinary machinery of political parties. His fundamental con- tention was that acity is a corporation, and thatas acity it nothing whatever to do with general political intere: that parly political mmes and duties are v out of placoin acity, The ques- tions inacity, heurged, ave not politi- calquestions, They have reference to thelaying outof streets, the erection of buillings, smitary arrangements, in- cluling seworage, water supply, gas supply, clectrical supply, provisions for the public health and comfort in parks, boulevards, libravies, museums, and finally inthe control of franchises and thelike, **The work ofa city being the creation and control of the city property. it should logicall b» munaged as a piece of property, by those who have created it, who have a title to it, or real, substantial part init, and who canthere- forefeelstrongly their duty toit.” There is nothing to be added to this as a stato- ment of the true theory of city govern- ment and the principle upon which it should be administered. But President White was less fortu- in suggesting a remedy for existing Ho would e acompromise be- twveen the political ideaand the corpo- rateidea. He would not break away entirely from the past, but would build upon what may be preserved pasta better future, He would leave in exislenco tho theory that the city is a political hody as regards the election of mayor and conmon council, and would elect the mayor by the votes of the ma- jority ofali the citizens, as at present. He would alsoelect the common council jority of ail the votes of all the citizens, but instead of electing them from the wards as at present, “so that s Targely controlled by thieves and 3 ves and robbevs,” he would elect councilmen on a gen- eral ticket, thus requiing cm- didates to have a ity repu- tation. So much for the political idea, andin order to cary out the corporate iden he would have elected, by the votes of the property owners alone, a board of control, without the vote of which no franchiso should be granted and no e penditure made—the only exception being as to expenditures for primary education, in which case he would allow thevotesof the board to be overridden by atwo-thirds majority of the council. Experience both in this country and in Eurpe has shown that there is nothing gained by electing councilimen on a gen- eralticket, while the plan of a board of control chosen by the votes of property owners only is obviously impracticable, becuse it could be achieved only through the voluntary surrender by the nonproperty owning masses of the rights they now possess, and this they asswediy would not do. The fact that most American cltios are badly goy- ernd isa very seriouws one, and the problemof reform is worthy the att tion of the most intelligent statsman- ship the A—— FOREST PROTECTION, The bill that has passed the senate, providing for the protection of trees and other growthon the public domain from destruction by fire, isa much needed measure, and there should be no doubt of its becoming a law. Some such legis- lation has been asked of congress for yeurs, and the present secretary of the interiorand Land Commissioner Groff have notbeen less earnest than their predecesses inurging the necessity of a law that would adequately protect the forests on the public domuin against from the ‘| fires which re or maliciousn| In his last dgnual report the sec of the interiof stuted that the forest fives in the timberNywions of Montana, W yo- ming, and other portions of the west during the summer of 1889 destroyed more tress than-had been lost by all the depredations from the beginning of the first settlement until the present time, and he stequgly urged upon con- gress the e sity of legislation to protect § these valuible pos- sessions of ) wation, Timber to the value of maui aillions of dollars has been swept awy which might have been saved had proper protection been pro- vided, for it is well understood that nearly all the forest fires aremaliciously set or ave the result of carelessness, and It is certainly time that cong something to put an end to this wanton destruction. The timber supply of the country is disappearing rapidly enough in a legitimate way, and wo shall too soon be compelled to look elsewhere for timber tomect the growing needs of the country without permitting it to be swept away by fire, Besides, these for- cstsare valuable in other respects than for the timbe But it should not be necessary to defond the policy of pre- serving the forests on the public domain, The duty to doso is obvious, The bill that has passed the senate, and which there should be no dificulty in getting through the house, provides for punishing by fine or imprisonment any person who shall maliciously or negligently set fire to underbrush or praivie grass on any public lands of the United States, or who shall maliciously or by gross negligence permit orsuffer any fire which he may have lighted on private lands to pass therefrom to public lands to the injury of trees or under- growth upon such public linds, The bill was opposed by eastern senators on necount of the stringency of its pro- visions: but these are no more severe than they should be. A drasticlaw is necessary to effect the desired purpose. — DEATH-BED REVENG The wholesale arrest of leaders of the Irish home-rule movement is entitled to rank with the monumental folly of Pig- gottism and forgery, which distinguishes tory government.

Glad- stone resorted to the jail tostamp out the land league, but Parnell and his fol- lowers not only emerged from Kilmsin- haurundismayed. Their imprisonment was the means of converting Gladstone and the espousal of home rule by the greatliberal party of England. Ttisnot possible for history to repeat itself wholly in the present case.

Prohibition is nowhere more unpopular than in those localities where it has succeeded in obtaining considerable vogue. That has been the experience in Maiue, Massachusetts, Vermont and other eastern states, and those western states which are now following the example of the east are discovering that pro- hibition is no more palatable to them than it has been found to be elsewhere, The impos- sibility of enforcing any prohibitory laws has always been recognized by those at all con- versant with the matter, and however often the experiment is tried she same result in- variably appears, Notwithstanding the agitation Kansas and elsewhere over the ‘“original package” decision inthe United States su- preme court—a decision which, with the sub- sequent action of local courts and of con- gress relating tothe matter, would naturally be expected to soiidify the prohibition senti- meut of the communities, and, if anything, to increase the popular indorsement of such measures—prohibition has lost ground. In Kansas the popular disapproval of sumptuary temperance laws promises now to result in unusual political complications. The oppon- ents of prohibition there haveunited their forces and ave about to inaugurate an enc getic movement for the repeal of the prohib tory legislation that now stands on the stat- ute books of the state, It is significant of the entire unpartisan character of this movement, that it has enlisted the sympathy of men of both political parties. R e HERE AND THERE. in Towa, At funerals conducted by clergymen, thereare no addresses delivered by the officiating dean. By way of ex- planation, a prelate of that churech said: “Funeral ceremonies conducted by the Episcopal church, or Church of England, are peculiar in one respect—they do mot, ordinarily, admit of anaddross or speech of any kiud aside from the formal service em- ployed at every burial, The reason given for this are simple and potent. 1t is held by the believers in the Episcopatian doctrines that to admit of informal speaking at funcras would be a plain violation of the Christian re- igion inasmuch as it is likly to bea dircrimination in favorof the rich or t or gifted dead. In the eyes of God, the Episcopalian are equal when the, that bounds the shores of time, and no more demonstration should he made over ono death than over another. The vich and poor, high and low, it is held, should be accorded the sume funeral ceremonies when they are luid away. “There have been instances where this rule hus been broken, but it is only whero the life of the person has been given over to chavitable work or where the intelicctual gifts of the deceased have been of world-wide Tenown. “Sometimos 1 memorial s 08, is held what Is known as some timo after the funeral, at whichan address is consideved appropriate. At such a time the special characteristios of the deceased are usually brought before the auditors in a way that muy ereate lasting impressious.” When the necessity to tag the dog became peremptory it was predicted that the caning would go outof fashion, But the prophesy wis @ badone.

She received the congratulations of all her riends on her good luck, but ouJune 11 they were astonished to learn she had filed a petition for a divorce from him alleging cruelty, overwork and failure to support. She notonly asked fora separa- tion, but also for alimony. Today Mr. Duling filed a cross-bill that may block the game of the lady in getting a chunk of the farmer’s comfortable forfune. He charges her with being a woman of vicious and un- chaste habits, and asserts that after being married to himonly a few weeks she violated her marriage vows with a hired hand on the farm named 8. Vandevas. Duling tells some stories also about his wife's naughty conduct with James Reardon of Lincoln. He says amen to the divorce, but doesn't want her to have any of his money. FORGOT 115 BRIDE'S NAME, ‘William C. Studebaker, a gay young gal- lant of fifty avs, applied “for a mar- riage license this ernoon, and when asked for the name of tho lady replied that he be- lieved it was “Wesley.”" To make sure, how- ever, he said the prospective bride had v ten it on a piece of paper for him. When t fragment was fished out the name of **Fai delia C. Dawes"” appeared, The old fellow looked rather nonpulsed over this and said he didn't know that was the lady's name. As she had written that as her name, William decided that it was all right. Accordingly, a license was granted him to marry the lady bearing that name. The blushing bride is fifty-cight years old and Studebaker gave as his reason for not kuowing her name the fact that she had been married several times and he did not know which name she went by. A MUSBAND'S CRUELTY. A. H.

The entire neighborhood was aroused and the poor woman was after a great strug- gle, rescued, 1t was thought for a while that she would die. The police were calledand the cruel wife-beater was tumbled off to the po- lice station in the patrol wagon, but just as the vehic topped at the jail, Bacon jumped to the ground and ran through the labyrmth of wagons in haymarket square. Three ofti- cers started in pursuit, but as it was jus about dark, ail trace of the fellow was lost for a fow moments, Finally it was pedestrians that a man was scen running to the north and later he was sighted by the officers. He paid no attention to the order to “halt,” and the city marshal fired several shots at him.
