The New Orleans Times: Dem-
ocrat says the world never wif
ffessed such a transformation, as
that which occnrreda few days
ago in Japan, when the nation,
through its autocratic head, the
Mikado, voluntarily abolished
absolutism, created a national
parliament, and adopted a con-
stitutional form of government.
It is 'he first time that such a
revolution has occurred unstain-
ed by a drop of blood and ap-
plauded by a unanimous peo-
ple. It is an act inconceivable
half a century ago, and marks
the most rapid movement tor
ward civilization the world has
ever known.-—-Har-—• 1 ,.■•■■■■■
CoT. Wright's report on the
divorces for the past twenty
years is a gloomy document.
The New York Herald says:
•■‘During the last score of years
328.720 divorces have been
granted. The bulk of domestic
misery which these figures re-
present is something appalling;
over 300,000 families broken up
by recourse to legal proceed-
ings, early hopes blasted, tears,
wretchedness, estrangement,
cruelty and crime. The imag
ination shrinks from cOutemplat-
, ing the picture.”
will have a favorable efte.uk upon
the people. The resignation of
Chace was no loss to the coun-
try, and being a wealthy manu-
facturer the assignment of the
cause probably contains an ele
ment of error. Had he succeed
ed.in passing his international
copyright bill his services, would
have been dear Uj. any price.
This talk about congressional
dignity is offensive to the.demo-
cratic sentiment. The represen-
tative ip congress is not sent to
Washington to make a spectacle
of himself by vulgar display.
Before participating in the de-
mand for an increase of pay it
might bqjwell for the gentlemen
to reflect upon the severe repre-
hension by the people of the
“back salary grab” some years
ago and the fate of most of the
members Who voted for the
measure. * They were retired to
the shade** of private life as the
penalty «>f their cupidity.
Of the 31 a members of congress
it is to say that not- owe
fourth of that number could earn
his present salary in a private
station. If they think otherwise
