The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-04-21

tired of his wife, or a wife preferring some
more wealthy or attractive suitor, can, on
going out to Indianapolis and spending a
pleasant winter, and giving notice in some
obscure paper, be henceforth at liberty to
follow "elective afinities" and marry again.
1t is true that our courts have decided that
such divorces, unless sufficient notice be
served on the other party, or both parties
unite in the petition, are not good in law
Still the community do not mind these
decisions-clergymen do not regard them,
and such divorces are held here as legal and
proper.
We venture to say that if tho Indiana
legislators desire to sap public morality, sub
stitute concubinage for marriage, degrade
women, and breed a weak and puny race
of children, they could take no more efficient
means than by thus making the marriage
tie farce and divorce an amusement. We
already know of young couples that enter
into marriage here as they might form
partnership for a dance. They know it can
be almost as easily broken by Western
court. The high sanctity of that tie which
has been an inheritance of our race since the
time of Taoitus and more than anything
else has given the leadership of the world to
the Germanio peoples, and which has been
rendered, if possible, more sacred by the
teachings of Christianity, is now trampled
in the dust and made o vulgar thing in the
eyes of our young men and women by such
legislation as this of Indiana.
In this matter, fortunately, the interests of
the State and the teachings of physical phil
osophy agree with the instructions of Christ
Divorces for but one or two strong reasons
