The following are the extracts from the
Church Quarterly:
st is evident writes an American cler.
gyman, ito those of us who are old enough
to remember the state of things previous to
these innovations, that a change for the
worse has be. brought about. I can well
recollect when ladies in the lifetimes of their
husbands used to feel as If their brothers-in-
law were their opn brothers, and to treat
them accordingly in all the unreserve of do
nestle intercourse; when brother-in-law,
after an absence, would kiss his brother's
wife in all purity as his own sister, and she
would confide in him without thought OF
evil, or a feeling of embarrassment; and
when, too, in case of wife dying, her sis
ter would remain in charge Of her family, OF
would remove to the bereaved home, to live
with the widower, and take care of his chill
dren as thing of course, without whisper
of Islander, or any occasion for il; when the
children, too, knowing that their aunt could
never be in any nearer relation to them, loved
| and reverenced her, and confided in her,
and yielded readily most wholesome infu-
| ence to her.
| But since such increased nearness of con-

even desirable, there has grown up in fami

becoming jealous of their influence with
their husbands, while familiarities which
formerly were thought to be, and really were
innocent, have come to possess conscious
ness of evil tendency which itself is of the
nature of sin.
I know of wife whose health was gradu-
ally declining, woman of the world, with a
husband as worldly as herself, and in their
house was young and attractive sister Of
hers, between whom and her husband there
had grown up gradually a degree of aztec

wife's health had been thought only natu.

IT looks as though the Socialists in France
would sooner or later make serious trouble
for the government, as, though they were
the other day prevented from making the
demonstration upon which they had deter
mined, they have not abandoned the idea of
forcing revolutionary programme upon
the acceptance of the Ministry. The danger
Of the Socialistic movement arises from the
fact that if the middle-class people once take
1t into their heads that there is any danger
of the extreme Radicals getting the upper
hand in the administration of affairs, they
will take the alarm and support the reac-
tionaries as the best way of establishing a
strong government. The antagonism be-
tween the proletarian element and the bour-
geoisie is mortal, and no Cabinet which is
controlled by the former can long hold it's
own.

whose sympathies are on the side of
honesty, as opposed to fraud, will heartily
wish them complete success, but in what
way they can hope to compass their end is
far from being apparent in view of the legal
obstacles in the way. There is only one
thing for them to do. They must secure or

A Burning British Question.
Marriage with Deceased wife's Sister
The following has been addressed to Gov.
Robbie by the Earl of Dalhousie:

The following has been addressed to Gov.
ROBBIE by the Earl of Dalhousie:
LONDON, February 18th, 1888.
YOUR ExCELLENcY,
In the last session of the Parliament Of
Great Britain and Ireland, Bill for legal
izing Marriage with Deceased Wife's Sis
ter was defeated in the House of Lords by a
majority of 1929.
If am rightly informed, these marriages
have now for many years been legal in every
part of the United States of America, and
you have therefore had ample experience of
their effect on social and domestic life, and
can say from practical knowledge whether
morality has suffered from the fact that in
the State of Maine Marriage with a Deceased
Wife's Sister is permitted by law.
The opponents of the legalization of Mar
riage with Deceased Wife's Sister in the
United Kingdom are fond Of referring to
America as illustrating in marked degree
the baneful evils which it is alleged mus
follow if these marriages are recognized as
legal.
In order to give your Excellency an ex-
ample of the statements that are made, l
enclose letter quoted in an article which
has recently appeared in one of our leading
periodicals, "rThe Church Quarterly Re
view,' which is being extensively circulated.
/ am anxious to ascertain whether snch as
sertions as those contained in this letter are
generally supported by facts, or whether
the writer has drawn his startling differences
from an isolated case.
May ask that your Excellency will kind
ly honour me with such information as you
can conveniently give as to how the law
which permits Marriage with a Deceased
Wife's Sister has worked in the State OF
Maine. My reason for making this request
is, that hope to introduce into the House
of Lords again this year Bill similar to the
one which so nearly became law during the
last Session of Parliament, and am natural
ly concerned to have all the knowledge of
the practical working in America of a law
similar to the one which I am anxious to
persuade the Legislature to adopt in this
country. trust. therefore, your Excellency
will forgive me for troubling you in the mat
