EDITORIAL.

"In darkest Bloomiugton.'

Less light, less water and more taxes is the order of the day.

Wanted More light on the subject, and especially at night.

It is a common occurrence for the telephone company's lines to

to get crossed.

Electric lights are just now what Bloomington is in the most need of.

It is now in order for city attorney Batman to present the council with a bill for housing the "Sleeoiner Beauty," that

$3,200 pet.

Bloomington citizens could

have given more fervent thanks today if the Board of Health had done their duty and abated the

Dry Plant nuisance.

It is amusing to see the Pro

gress contemporaries publishing

what purports to be special tele

grams, three days after the same

matters appears in the Progress

A careful scrutiny of almanacs don't disclose the fact, that the electric street lights are not called

upon to cast their radiance over moral Bloomington, yet the don't.

A WIFE'S RIGHTS.

An extremely interesting case has lately been decided by the

Indiana supreme court, estab

lishing a new principle regarding

the rights of a wife. A man in this state who kept a shoe store employed his wife as a saleswoman and paid her weekly wages, which she saved and invested. When the business declined he borrowed her money, and also failed to pay her wages. Then he became bankrupt. His wife presented her claim as one qf the creditors, for the borrowed money and a year's unpaid wages. In the old times the claim would have been thrown out at once. The theory of the common law gave the wife no right as against her husband. Her property was his. She could not testify for or

against him in court in any case, civil or criminal. There could be no valid contract between the two for the payment of money. The situation has been greatly improved by statute and by the common sense decisions of modern jurists. One of the last of the ancient disabilities of the wife is removed by the Indiana decision. The court holds that an agreement to pay wages for services of a domestic character would not stand. It would be against public policy that a man should by promising to pay his wife for washing the dishes and for sewing on his buttons withhold money from his ordinary

creditors. But the wife was under no obligation to a saleswoman for her husband. He paid or

GIVE THE BOYS A CHANCE.

One great reason why people

don't get married so much nowadays is that parents do not encourage friendship among their children and otherpeople enough. It is so much the custom to look upon every young man who calls at the house as a possible suitor for our daughters' hands that a man is afraid to visit the parents of a pretty girl, fearing that before he begins to even know his own mind regarding her other people will have made it up for him. If fathers and mothers would do in their homes everywhere as is done in the rural districts of New England we would not hear so much of the unmar

ried women as we do at present. In that part of the country it is

to the house as friends, and nothing else. A man may visit a house full of pretty girls for months together, and no one takes the least notice of his so doing. He goes as a friend and is accepted as such, and is made welcome whenever he cares to call. In this way a man gets to know his women friends intimately. If he falls in love, he has the more chance of being happy from his friendship with his future wife's family and his knowledge of her tastes. If he does not he keeps his friends and takes his wife from another family. Young people in this way have plenty of chance of becoming friends and being married without trouble being made and gossip circulated as is often the case.

BET A REPUTATION. Second district Republicans are looking over the field for a strong candidate for congress. So far we have heard of but two candidates, Nat Hill, of Bloomington and Dan L. Bonner, of Vincennes, both estimable gentlemen. It seems curious to us that counties that are so unreliable for the Republican ticket when it is nominated should always be ready to bag the nominations. Knox and Monroe counties should at least try to establish a reputation for Republicanism before asking the congressional plum. The fact is Lawrence county is the only thoroughly reliable Republican county in the

district and ought to furnish the nominee.

Mrs. T. J. Dietz arrived from Jeff ersonville yesterday to join her husband who recently purchased the Axtell Bros, furnishings store. They have taken rooms at W. A. Rice's, East Kirkwood avenue.
