M
Thompson, of Kentucky, has em-
ployed able counsel, showing his
foresight of a terrible indictment.
His weak wife's simple statement
wins largely on popular sympathy.
Mrs. Thompson, tbe woman Buck-
ner and Walter Davis all seem to
have been utterly reckless. What
object Thompson had in leaving any-
thing so helpless as his untortuuate
wife in a hotel in Cincinnati in close
proximity to Jesse Bucknor does
no).' appear. Neither can it be seen
why Mr*. Thompson should allow
the companionnhip of a woman of
the cbarsoter she describes. Davis
seems to have courted death. The
whole affair looks as if they all
1 ■ - —
not appear to have occurred to
Major Burke to ask for tbe entiro
earth.—Louisville Courier-Journal.
W« venture the opinion that our
friend Watterson will see the Times-
Democrat published in the City oi
Mexico and in New. York some time
betoie he will pee a Dfrrjoorjjticpresi'
dent elected on a free-trade plat-
form.—Times-Democrat
Some silly peoplo seem to think it
very singular, if not impracticable
or impossible, for one man to suoees*
fully conduct ihoro- than one news-
paper, or even to manage one first-
class office with branches in different
states. A Jiko opinion prevailed a
few years ago with reqpect to rail
roading, but now it is found that tho
forces of an onterpvising brain can
only be utilized by great combina-
tions and systems stretching across
, the continent' and passing through
divers states and inharmonious laws.
Nobody questions Major Burke's
ability to tnanago one gi eat news-
paper. This point conceded, it is
nonsense to doubt his capacities for
expansion and successful enlarge-
ment of his business. He can run
two, three or five just as easily as he
can one, provided his finances are
equal to the increase and the venturo.
S
wanted to engage in a tragedy.

In a recent articlo on tbe ratio of
voters to population the Toronto
GHobe shows that in Canada there is
one voter to 6 1-4 persons in the
population;, in threat Britain, one
voter to 11 1-2 persons; in Franco,
one voter to 32-3 persons; and in
the United States, one voter to 4 1 2
persons. In tbe United States the
persons entitled to vote mako more
Use of their right than in the other
countries named, At the last presi-
dential election 9,204,428 votes were
cast, being one vote to> every 6 l«-2
people in the country. The propor-
tion of unnaturalized citizens in the
United States who are of voting age
- is greater than in Prance, which ac-
counts for the .large proportion of
Voters to the whole population in
ibat country, whore universal suf-
frage prevails.

This® millionaires consume a vast
amount of poor people's time, labor
and money. Before old Tabor is
done flouting bis point lace before
tbe publio gaze, and while his new
Mrs. Tabor is bedazzling weak eyes
with her parti-colored finery, and
tvhile the story of the infamy which
permitted tbe seoond and third Ta-
Dor marriages is fresh in the memory,
here comes another sensation in tbe
divorce suit of Senator and Mrs.
Fair. Now, the reporters, tbe tele-
graph men, the printers and pub-
lishers will busy themselves with the
details of a new diversion, preparing
reading matter for the many who
devour tbe news to the detriment of
all that is pure, lovely and of good
report. This thing is growing mon-
otonous, There is too' much ol
money and too little of deoency.

Mas. Thimbu Fair enters suit
Against her husband, Senator James
G. Fair for divorce. She is explicit
in her charges of adultery. She
prays judgment for divorce, for the
Oustod; of her lour children, for her
portion of the community property,
;• and tt at he be required to pay a
reasonable sum into the county trea-
Gury to defray expenses of the suit,
and that he pay such alimony as is
deemed just for tbe support of plain-
tiff and children pending the action,
and such further relief as may be
tfeemed just. The papers were
serve*! on Fair on theCumstook,where
the opinion prevails that the Novada
statesman will not make dofunse but
Will let the suit go by dofault, and
agree to sttch statement of property
as may be agreed on by counsol.
The amount is said to have been
agreed on—$8,000,000 cash and
11,000,000 real estate. This is mere
rumor. Both parties stand high,
Mr.Fair representing Nevada in the
U.S. senate and possessing immense
wealth.
