THE sanctity of marriage suffers in these DAYS
because religions faith has declined. Divorces
more frequent because lawmakers and those
who live under the laws regard marriage as a
civil and not religious contract. They are en-
couraged, too by ministers who are ready to
marry divorced people though the divorces
were obtained i'll violation of the religion they
preach. The great remedy for divorce which
the clergy should concern themselves about is
the conversion of people to Christianity. After
that the church should treat divorce as a sin
and re-marrage as adultery, II the divorce is
obtained for other reasons than those allowed
0y religion. The Roman Catholics have no
trouble about the matter, for they recognize no
divorce at all, whatever the law, State or fed
eral. The sanctity of marriage, and marriage
itself as a religious institution, must be pre-
served and defended by religion When the
State deals with it, il ouly be as civil con-
tract.--New York Sun.

chairmanships and ''the North to but TWEEN
ty-three As to manufactures: There are in
the United States $40 factories of all
kinds, according to the census of 1880. Of
these "the South" has AZ, 146 leaving to 1.-THE
North" 1914 1t is, therefore,
not because of its manufacturing importance
that 1.-THE South is entitled to twenty
seven charmanships and 1.-THE North"
to but twenty-three. AS to commerce; A
fairly good criterion OF the commercial in
terests of a section is its railroads. There
are in the United States 1O4, 32495 miles of
railroad, of which "the South" has Is, 00449,
leaving to "the North" sc, 1904 miles. The
total cost of railroads in the United States is
So, ST., 1885, 931. Of this amount the lines in
1.-The South cost 1872 474, 545 leaving the
lines in 'the North" to cost 81, 9O5, 522. 1856.
1t is not its relative commercial impor-
tance therefore, that entities "the South" to
twenty-seyen chairmanships and 1.-The
North" to but twenty-three AS to the sup
port of the government The total receipts
of internal revenue from the thirty-eight
States of the United States for the year 1882
was $13S 957, 1856 OF this amount the
South" paid $25, 724, GIG, leaving for "the
North $113, 226 $40. This certainly does not
explain why "the South" is entitled to
twenty-seven chairmanships and ''the North"
to but twenty three.
We have run over hastily the matters out
OF which would naturally grow the most i'm
portant and the most numerous subjects of
legislative consideration and action, and we
have failed to find in the statistics any good
ground for the preponderance of 'the South"
in shaping legislation. We wish, again, to
emphasize that whatever of invidious dis
tinction there may be in setting ''tbe South"
over against "the North" in this mat
ter is not of our suggestion;
it comes entirely from Democratic
sources, and puts us fairly and properly upon
the inquiry why 1.-The South" should have
twenty-seven chairmanships and 1.-The North"
but twenty-three. We ask the question
again: Why should 1.-The South" as the
South, be given this preponderance in the
popular house of the national Congress? The
asking of the question carries with it its own
answer There is no man in the country so
dull or so ignorant as not to know what the
only reply can be.

Mr. ADAMS better known as "Oliver OPP

kind statement, in Philadelphia paper that
his books chad made more runaways among
boys than any other class of books in the

grieved at this cruel cut. but is also indig-

effect the remark will have upon the sale of
his wares, and proposes to institute a suit
for damages against the Philadelphia paper.
The paper is undoubtedly in the wrong, and
should apologize. Boys who are addicted to
the sort of literature evolved by Mr.. Adams

1t is no argument to say that the 5,00o000
people OF Ireland are practically at the

British men of-war lock the ports. I'm

no hope for Irelands independence. When

the hope of deliverance lies through plea Of

things they are not patriots and have no idea
of exalted self-sacrifice for liberty and for

Queenstown, that outrages are perpetrated at

cut down in Phoenix Park, Dublin, are no
proofs that "the people, are united in the

wrongs, they will be heard, and not
before. The British government cannot
and will not submit to the insane dictum of
murderers. 1t were folly to expect it, and
this government can do no more to aid
ODonnell than to ask that justice be done
him. If it can be shown that he has been
unjustly sentenced, then may investigation
be set afoot. The fact that he is an Ameri-
can citizen cannot work dissolution from
any crime of which he may be guilty. The
very efforts now being made to save him will
go toward weakening his chances, and they
are slender enough. 1t is useles to howl about

that according to his own plea the love of
Ireland had nothing to do with it, IT. as
some of his champions insist, he is an
"avenger," he will die at the time appointed

THE SOUTH AND CONGRESS.

The Louisville Courier-Journal, Mr.. Car
isles personal and particular organ, forecasts
the probable complexion of the committees
of the House, as they will be arranged by
the new Speaker, and says that twenty
seven chairmanships will be given to the
South and twenty-three to the North.r Il
the chairmanships are to be given upon the
ground of personal fitness, then it is very
serious reflection upon the Democratic
members from the Northern States but if,
as is much more probable and as is, indeed,
quite certain from the blunt way IN which
the fact is stated by the Courier-J ournal, the
positions are given out upon the sectional"
line, which Democrats affect so much
to deplore then the fact is
worth a little attention. What is
there in this everlasting thrusting forward
of ''the South" whenever the Democratic
party obtains power? 1t is, not the

abuses have crept in through the common
desire to honor the dead above the living is
becoming quite apparent 1t is usual among
poorer people to overdo the duty of burying
the dead and giving to them drapings that
