PREACHER VERSUS PROFESSOR.
The special correspondent of the
Herald at Earlhatn is evidently a
very timid young man. Alarmed by
the reports that reach him of divorces
and arrests In which once wedded
couples figure and probably believing
that Professor Sumner's wild deolar-
ation aa to the unhappiness of married
life is correct he has resolved not to
"tempt fate" at the marriage altar.
The young man should read up the
status of the question so important to
humanity put on a bold front come
to El Paso and wed that aweet girl he
loves and let the Herald chronicle
the fact.
The Rev. Minot J. Savage does not
agree with Professor Sumner of Yale
about the proportion of unhappy mar
riagea. In a eermon in New York Mr.
Savage eald that we are accustomed to
hear of the unhappy unions while the
happy onea are not proclaimed at least
in the public print. .
"One man recently did not behave
himself ; it ia reported and published
all over the world. A million people
did behave themselves; that la not re-
ported or published; nobody thinka of
making any comment on that fact. It
ia the exception that ia noted it is the
commonplace that passes unnoted. So
when you read of a divorce when it ia
made so much of the significance of
that fact is not that divorces are in-
creasing not that the family life ia
threatened but it ia so exceptional
that people are intensely interested in
it perhaps keenly stirred by it if it
happens to be a divorce in high society;
but the meaning of it is that the great
majority of people are leading- quiet
orderly sweat wholesome lives."
The preacher certainly scores one
against the professor. The proportion
of happy marriages is probably a3
great as it ever was and more than ten
per cent of married couples are con-
tented in their lot would cot change
their estate and realize to a fair extent
their 'ideal." in spite of Professor
Sumner.
DEGENERACY OF THE STAGE
The great question in New York
cow is: Has the stage degenerated or
has it cot? At the touchstone of fact
differences of opinion usually disap-
pear. Let us see how it will be with
thia controversy. Taking the World
newspaper for March 12 ISSOand 1S10
and looking at the advertisements of
the leading playhouses an eastern
critic gets these results:
1880 The Madison Square "Hazel
Kirk;" Wallack's Lester Wa'lack in
"The Liar;" Haverly'a. Salisbury's
Troubadours in "The Brook;" the
Park Byron'a comedy "A Fool and
Hia Money;" Niblo's the Boston Ideals
in "Pinafore;" .Booth's Abbey 'e
'Humpty-Dumpty" and Spanish Stud-
ent?; Daly's. 'TheK nal Middy."
1SU0 Daly's '-Midsummer Night's
Dream;" Broad wey.ialvini in classical
tragedies; Fifth-A ve&u Jefferson
and Fiorer.ee in "The Rival?:" Ham-
mersteln'a Opera Hou.-e "Sweet La-
vender:" Lyceum "The Charity Bali:''
Palmer's. Gilbert and Sullivan's ' Joo-
doliers:" Casino "The Grand Duch-
ess:" Bijou "Tne City Directory:"
Madron-Square "Aunt Jack;" Stv
Crane in "The .Senator;'' Fourteen'.h-
Street. Barry Lacy in "The Still
Alarm;" Niblo's Joseph Haworth in
"Paul Kauvar:" Proctor's "Shenan-
doah." Compare these lists with the lists for
the present season which contain
plays so vile that the police close the
theatres. Corcpire this stage of the
pan with its art based upon sound
morals and the stige of the present
where few Icdeed are the plays with-
out some "suggestiveness" and where
so many plays appeal to public favor
only because of situations that range
from "strong to rank."
RIDING AHEAD.
America no longer walks. She ie
riding ahead with a speed that knows
no slacking. American inventors are
now about to invade Franca with auto-
mobiles that according to the New
York Herald promiae to be far
superior in speed and endurance to
anything yet produced in Europe.
The automobile that meets all require-
ments and dees cot give out for want
of battery power or water will be run
in the future by kerosene which can
be procured at any house along any
road. Experience has shown the
necessity of employing a fuel that is
aafe easily obtainable and condensed
in form. One pound of kerosene
equals 50 pounds of liquefied air 450
pounds of storage battery and has the
further advantage over the battery of
being already charged with energy.
A proof that the horeelesa vehicle of
the future will be driven by an explo-
sive gaa ia furnished by the statistics
of the recent automobile exhibition in
London. Out of one hundred vehicles
of all classes shown one was propelled
by electricity one by steam and ninety-eight
by explosive engines of the
Darnel ier or De Dion types. These
are respectively the accepted German
and French type of automobile motor
but they all suffer from vibration ani
for comfort cannot compare with the
electrically-driven vehicles.
According to cable advices it ha?
remained for an American inventor
John A. Secor of Brooklyn to devise
an automobile motor with a cylinder
in which explosions occur almost
simultaneously on both sides of the
pinon ona being of much lighter
pressure than the other alternately
but sufficient in strength to take up
all vibration. This idea Is declared by
automobile experts to be a solution of
the mechanical difficulties that have
attended the popular introduction of
the horseless carriage. If so it will
go a long way toward bringing the
automobile into general use. Every-
body can keep a carriage and use it
with perfect safety.
DAVID B. HILL ON LEGISLATION.
Ex-SeDator David B.
best known to fame for
Hill who
hla words
am a democrat" has recently been
dealing with the question of legislation
in the several states. In an article in
the North American Review be makes
some statements which will meet with
the approval of every wise citizen
of the country. Mr. Hill sees remedies
aa well aa evils:
1. The creation of an intelligent pub-
lic sentiment whioh shall Insist that the
volume of legislation ehall be steadily
reduoed within reasonable limits.
2. General lawa should be enacted
instead of special laws wherever prac-
ticable. 3. Biennial elections of the legisla-
ture should be substituted for annual
onea.
4. Wherever the evils of overleglsla-
tion exist constitutional amendments
should be secured further restricting
the power of legislation.
The Goebel election law in Kentucky
in ita disregard of the "democratic
principle of home rule" la instanced as
partisanship in legislation run mad."
"The people do not require more leg
islation; they demand less" is Mr.
Hill's conclusion.
It is a wise conclusion.
An' anti-bandit attachment ia com
ing into popular favor in locomotives.
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
reports that on all the new engines of
the Danvsr and Rio Grande railway
are Iron pipes extending- alone the
roof of the cab and connecting with
the boiler. Through these pipe3 with
out making a perceptible motion
either the engineer or fireman cao
send under 200 pounds pressure a
jet of steam and boiling water that
would effectually cook any living
thing that happened to bo on the ten-
der or the front end of the baggage
car. The diameter of tha pipe is oae
and a half inches and a single second
would drop any man who tried to stand
before it in action. The sta n leaves
the pipe at a temperature of about 750
degrees hot enough to have the
toughest of outlaws cooked by the time
the train could be brought to a stand-
still. It is hoped that this will quell
the ardor of robbers who make a spe-
cialty of holding up engineers from the
tender. Some one should now invent a
steam squirt gun for the trainhands

The financiers of the United States
have much cause to be elated over the
placing of $25000000 of Russian bonds
in New York. With the exception of
the funding of the Mexican railway
bonds thia ia the first loan made by
Americana to a foreign government.
Immense sums have In the past been
loaned to European bankers by Amer-
icans but never a loan to 'a govern-
ment. While the sum ia not large
enough to make the loan of great im-
portance the circumstances are sig-
nificant. The money is cot to be taken
out of the country. It will be left in
New York to b) drawn upon by the
Russian government as req'uired to pay
for articles of American manufacture
needed in Rus.ia. It. is believed that
this issue of government-guaranteed
bonds is only the entering wedge.
Russia has in the past bought in Ger-
many the greater part of the equip-
ment of iron and steel products and
perfected machines used in her great
public works. A srcaUer portion has
been purchased in France. Am?rlcan
machinery has superseded European
machicery in the opinion of Russian
experts and is to ba purchased exclu-
sively so long Is ita superiority is main-
tained. Thia applies to electrical ma-
chinery and railway equipment as
well as othersteel and iron products.
The sum of $35000000 was donated
to American colleges last year con-
siderably less than 450000 of it given
to colleges in the southern states. A
member of the Southern society ho la
identified with educational interests
commenting on this fact says: "Since
luero is a uiacnminai.ua at sn i um
glad that It is aa great aa it is. Per-
haps the striking contrast in the fig-: bread against which he Inveighed in
ures may impress some of our phll- j the Tribune. His hostess was proper-
anthroplsts with the notion that the j ly shocked and exclaimed "Why Mr.
education of the people of the south is Greeley you take hot bread?" "Ma-
quite as important as the education of i dame" replied the urbane Horace
the people of any other section of the
country." There are 13 southern
states and the average amount that
they received last year in the way of
donations to colleges waa about $33-
000 a pitiful sum in contrast with the
money that flowed into some other
state?. It ia well said that the wealth of
our multimillionaires la drawn from all
parte of the country tha south con-
ibuting its share and that the
southern collages ought to get their
share of the good things as they are
passed around.
Ax officer of the Thirty-third that
regiment of which Texas is so very
proud tella the San Antonio Light
In a letter that hia regiment "has cov-
ered the island of Luzon from Manila
north and raked it a3 with a fine tooth
ed comb and that there ia nothing do-
ing over all its fair expanse in the in-
surgent line." He says the hunting of
stray bandits is like hunting jack rab
bits in the states. The writer who ia
only penning a pleasant epistle to a
friend reports aUo that the people are
very friendly and only a very few
show any hostility to the Americans.
The government work is going on all
right. Mr. Bryan's Nebraska conven-
vention will not cause even a jolt.
It appear that the natives in the
Philippines do not oaro for our old
liquors anyway. They have a drink
called "vino" a terrible compound
far worse than whiskey so potent in-
deed that they take only a spoonful at
a time and then go and lie down some-
where. Our soldiers are not so pru-
dent and despite military regulations
manage to get it and suffer from
delirium tremens In consequence.

It is a singular faot that metals get
tired aa well as living beings. Tele-
graph wires are better conductors on
Monday than on Saturday on aocount
of their Sunday rest and a rest of
three weeks adds 10 per cent to the
conductivity of a wire. Locomotives
too require rast. So do printers'
sticks which accounts for the pheno-
menon of the printers taking "a day
off" once or twice a year.
