Ministers and Div0rco.

There can be but little doubt that
much of the married misery chronicled
day by day, ending In disgraeeful divor--
ces in the courts. is directly chargeabfe
to the ministers, who for the payment of
an insignificant fee are willing to marry
anything and everything that comes
along, provided IN outward appearance
of male and female human being is
disclosed. We have heard garrulous ex-
Founders Of the gospel expatiate on do
mestic unhappiness and the frequency Of
divorce, when to our certain knowledge
they had been instrumental in making
domestic woes and subsequent divorce
possible. Many ministers have grossly
abused their holy Office by binding peo-
pie in the bonds Of wedlock whom they
must have known were ill-mated and
against whose marriage patent moral
and legal causes stood in the way. Some
ministers have oficiated at such marri-
ages wilfully to get = paltry fee, while
many others marry everyone who soli-
cits, as matter Of course. Such care
lessness about 80 sacred a contract as
marriage, on the part Of those charged
with the duty Of being teachers Of NOR
ais, encourages the parties to make light
Of il sanctity and the duties it involves.
Not all clergymen are thus careless IN
this matter.
|, A few days ago eight ministers in q
western city united in an agreement not
to marry persons where doubt as to its
propriety arose, and especially not to
perform the marriage service for persons
who have been divorced, with but one
exception. The exception is in favor of
the innocent party in the case of di-
vorce which has been granted ION scrip
tural grounds" These clergymen are
endeavoring to render society service,
even though their action may not result
in the exclusion from the married state
of all who ought not to be allowed to re-
| enter it. Their resolution might well be
followed by ministers Of the class we re-
fer to, who are ss eager as ignorant JUS
tices of the peace to tie the matrimonial
knot, and TASK no questions" The agree
ment made by the western ministers is a
protest against the easy way in which
divorced persons get REMARKED, in def
ance Of all laws Of decency. There is q
Z owing habit Of getting tired of husband
or wife At will, and seeking to dissolve
the marriage in order to form new par.
tnership. With the best intent clergy.
men are apt to be deceived by persons
who are willing to swear to ANYTHING
that the exigencies Of the case may re
quire. The only course for clereymen t.
follow is to decline to marry persons no
properly vouched for. Ministers are no
bound to marry ell who apply to them
but they have the right to act or declin,
to act ~ they determine.

ance Commissioner of New York, who
entered the Department as low-grade
clerk and has worked his way to the
head, was lately Intercepted on the
subject, and his views coincide with
those of AL who have had similar OPP
portunities for observing the effects of
place-holding. 81 would rather son
of mine,n he said. ''earry bricks than
accept precarious political cierkship."
MIR. MCCALL's own experience has
been exceptionally fortunate, because
of unusual opportunities and uneom-
mon fitness for the work. But he tells
the other and common side of the story
In these words: "During the thirteen
years l have been in office 1000 differ
ent yonng men have worked in the
Departments and Legislature with me.
How many have succeeded? You can
count them on the fingers Of one hand.
They become Indifferent and lazy, ac-
uuire extravagant habits and lose am
bitiQn. When they are set adrift by
changes i'll politics, they are unsuited
for business, and are in many cases hu-
man wrecks. The majority have left
town in debt, and when married, in
scores of instances, had to borrow
money 70 get their families away.
Nor il this all. Ii omits to take
account of the worry occasioned by the
uncertainty of the tenure--the constant
fear lest a turn in the political wheel,
ora sudden spasm ofeconOmy, shall de-
prive the employees of their positions.
The subserviency Of the subordinate
public servants to their party and pat
rons, and the exactions to which they
are obliged to submit, are likewise
things from which any self-respecting
man will shrink.
These are some of the features of the
new system that will commend it to
both those who seek Office and the pub
lie which is interested in having COM
petent set of officers, bat We are aware
that there may be phases Of the system
that will offset these, and We can only
watch and wait until the whole system
is brought under critical review.

THE NEW DEAL.

We are about TO have a practical APP
plication of the new civil service rules
in the appointments to Office, and their
operation and results will be watched
with very general interest for the next
few months.
There will be arguments for and
against the system, and that valid OBJ
iections will be found against it, there is
no doubt. 1t is an experiment which
must be perfected by experience. The
principle at the bottom of it, is all
right, and the one question is to prop
erly apply it.
There are some things we can count
on being accomplished, before the trial
begins. 1t is certain that the large class
who have sought office through the in
fiuenee Of political friends alone will
be thinned out and those who rely on
their individual merits or capacity, will
be increased.
We would suppose also that the num-
Der Of office seekers would be great
diminished. For whereas any &C.
tive man who has dabbleC in
politics, and who bankers after a place
where the work will be light and the
pay neavy, has nothing to deter him
from pushing his "claims," without re-
gard to his qualifications for the posi-
tion, under the new system an illiterate
or incompetent or otherwise worthless
fellow will know that he stands no
chance. There are, however, enough
smart and capable young and middle
aged men who have no desire for pub
lie employment, either as temporary
resort or a permanent career, to keep
the list of applicants full.
1t is fair to assume, also, that office
holding will be made more desirable
under the new system. Wherever the
tenure Of office remains dependent upon
the fortunes of politics or the favor o.
ambitious politicians, there can be nc
doubs Of the undesirability Of the voea'
ton Of cff.ce-seeking. The new Insur'

pOliceman's lot. The other day, after

On leaving the road the wagon
was nearly overturned in passing
through deep cut and panic reigned
for a moment. This danger passed, the
destination was soon reached and the
stuff poured out on the ground. A
train was laid and all hands retired to
await results. There was no explosion,
but the mixture burned fiercely, with

IT'S BETTER TO DE TRUE.


On plain business principles it does
not pay for man to be untrue to his
wife, or for woman to abuse her huS-
bands confidence. On the grounds Of
morality and happiness infidelity in
the marriage relation is ocial ulce
that can Only be healed by the eradica-
ton of the primary cause, as was shown
in the late Kentucky tragedy. Divorce
only irritates tue wound. The forgiv-
eness and reunion of those who have
violated the most sacred law of society,
only opens the channel for more dar-
ing and deliberate disObedienCe of Gods

will not eradicate seducers. There is
but one way to protect youself from the
sting of the serpent-break his back,
stamp your heel on his head. We
have no law that will punish this
dastardly crime of adultery, and al
though the shotgun policy is somewhat
severe in the eyes Of the sober
minded it looks just. Father, brother,
