Corey lost his temper over the | general public attitude toward his second marriage. ! That he had great difficulty in finding a clergyman who would officiate is not surprising. It Is only remarkable that We succeeded in securing a reputable minister to bless a proceeding which is nothing better than consecutive polygamy. The divorce laws were never intended to be put to the use made of them by the sudden millionaires who have come to New York. The whole purpose and spirit of the sanctioning. of divorce by law is that a wronged wife or husband should not be com- . pelled to continue living with an adulterous consort {That ts the only ground for divorce in this State, Even In ‘the lax ‘Mestern State? where cruelty, abandonment and non-support are groundé "Wor divorce it is always only the injured party who can avail of the relief. This is very different from the progressive polygamy which occupies ome of the Fifth avenue palaces. The compulsion or bribery which enables a millionaire to shift wives is not the kind of divorce that the law If Corey and his kind had any family decency there would be no ch scandals as this midnight wedding with its ostentatious display, its @aunting of immorality.

She has induced her future husband to ‘Wefuse a gift of a million dollars to start housekeeping. She says that she was not brought up in idleness and that she prefers “to start our married in a quiet, simple way.” She learned to cook and keep house “so "that some day | would make a first-class wife.” The sudden acquisition of wealth usually brings demoralization with Mt. Miss McGorray fears it would “create havoc” with her domestic thappiness. It certainly has broken up the homes of many of the sudden _ millionaires. Be Progressive polygamy, by which the old wife is discarded when 2 | Bhift is made to a new wife, is worse than the ordinary polygamy of the " Mormon brand. A Mormon might acquire a new young wife, but he gas not allowed to turn away the middle-aged mother of his children, To get rid of the old wife with one lump sum settlement is cheape: han to continue her. It is a queer kind of thrift. Her dower rights are extinguished. Her claim for support is commuted.

So long as reputable hotel-keepers cater to the progressive polygam) trade, so long as respectable clergymen accept big fees to bless su a egalized adultery, it is probably useless to expect any reform by the polygamists themselves. ——— Letters from the People.

No. 60—-LOUIS KOSSUTH, the Hero o¥ Hungary. YOUNG lawyer and newspaper man, Louis Kossuth, entered the Ham A sarian Parliament in 1832, The date is of interest, for {t marked the dawn of a new era for an oppressed Jand, Kossuth began at once to make his presence felt. He scandalized conservative people by publish ing the parliamentary debates in his paper, thus letting the public know. what their representatives were doing. He also declared himself for liberty and became the fearless foe of governmental oppression. All this madé him 4 marked man, and the Austrian Government resolved to suppreas him and his paper. The chance came in 1837. Six Magyar patriots were arrested, Kossuth denounced the arrests as tyrannical. For this he was condemned to life tmprisonment on a charge of treason But his fellow Liberals in Parliament and throughout the whole country bh was released tn 18). Far from being cowed by hts experiences, he at once started another Newspaper devoted to the cause of liberty and founded a National League in | opposition to the Austrian power. In these. and many other ways be | devoted his whole life freeing his country from the yoke of Austria. Austria and Hungary had been united in 1527 under one ruler. Austria. thenceforth throve at Hungary's expense. Again and again during the next two centuries the Hungarians strove In vain te PRES OLAIE PHATE break away from this distasteful union, but the | Fesntarie of a uprisings were crushed with great cruelty on the for Liberty part of the conquerors. Humiliated by Austria, ine vaded and harried by the Turks, the bone of con- tention between the Hapsburg Emperors and the Sultans, the stricken {country suffered untold hardships. From 1711'to 1848 there was no open effort for liberty. Indeed, Hungary more than once during this period | Proved of great service to Austrian, When, {n 1740, Maria Theresa came to | the Austrian throne and her claims were challenged she threw herself on | the pity and loyalty of the Hungarian people, who, at the cost of thousands ke lives, secured her tn the sovereignty. In return the Empress did all she could to improve the Magyars’ condition. But her su ors were less just. At last, In 1848, national spirit fared up. Urged by Kossuth, the Hum | gartans strengthened local trade and by boycotts {« Austria to grant | tariff reforms. A Diet was summoned and an act pas: king the anctont | Magyar tongue the ofMfcial ianguage of tie country. For Kossuth well knew | that a conquered race which retains {ts original language holds the key to }its own prison. “Kossuth also demanded for his peopie a responsible min | istry, fair taxation, franchtse, an unmuzzled press 0 ous tolerance. Austria, forced to grant some of these demar i herself by try ing to stir up Interna! strife in Hung § hey must act for themselves,/and could expect no ald from Austria riots rebelled, de clared themselves independent, and made Louls Kossuth their Dictator. At once the new Dictator made vigorous pians for n efona>, and raised Jan army. Austria declared war on her revolution jects, annulled fil | the Diet's decrees, and began a general inv Magyar territory, In December, 1848, two great armies were hu the patriots Russia came to her old ally’s aid and joined Austria’s invading forces. Hun- | gary was threatened with utter destruction. Bul the revolutionists were ready to fight to the denth for her rights The Russians were driven back. and Gorzel, the Hungarian commander in-chief, beat the Austrians tn five successive battles between April 2 and April 10, 1849. Had he marched straight upon Vienna he might have forced Austria to come quickly to terms. But, instead, he contented himself with falling baek upon Pesth and drove the Austrian garrison out of that elty, The delay was fatal, for it allowed Austria and Russta t! to mass huge armies on the frontier, Kossuth later accused Gorzel of treachery for thus throwing away his supreme chance. With an overwhelming host of 275,000 men Austria and Russia bore down upon the patriots. For a time the latter callantly held thelr own. But sheer weight of numbers at last carried the day. Town after town, fortress after fortress, was captured by the allies, until Hungary lay pros- trate beneath the conqueror’s heel. Then the victors inflected wholesale, brutal punishments on their b foes. Merty, ——~—~~~—~~ @ and even Justice, were disregarded. Gorzel was A Fight That Wae §{ one of the few revolutfonists pardoned. Kossuth Lost—And Won. { was forced to flee for his life to Turkey. There eee Shee was held priscner for two years. But the United States and England, in 1851, secured his release, and the United States steamship Mississipp! brought him to America. Here he was warmly welcomed, and aroused public enthusiasm by his eloquent pleas for hia unfortunate country. So warmly did he urge Hungary's cause here and in Europe that Austria was at length constrained to grant a general am- nesty and to adopt other conciliatory measures toward the Magyars, In 1961 the Hungarian constitution was restored and, four years later, sclf-covern- nat was permitted.
