II is not strange that the colonial sue
cess Of England should provoke En-
ropean jealousy. The great continen-
tai governments, weighed down by the
cost of their tremendous military ex-
penses, have the spectacle presented Of
one Of their neighbors who, relieved
from the burden which self.defenee in
modern days imposes, has the time,
the inclination and the means to de-
velOp its commerce and power by ex-
tended colonial enterprises. In num-
ter of population and in military

the latter is able to distance her neigh

THE DIVORCE EVIL.

The clergymen of nearly all the
churches continue to maze relentless
war upon what is called the divorce
evil; and in the good work they are
being ably aided by the intelligent press
of the country. The Monday morning
dailies in cities like New York, Phila-
delphis and Pittsburgh contain reports
of the most interesting Sunday sermons,
and scarce q week passes but some
divine utters his protest against the
immoral divorce laws. The laws are
properly regarded as putting u premium
on the obstruction of the sacred mar.
rage relation aud encouraging half
satisfied married people to seek sepsra-
ton. One Pittsburgh minister last
Sunday, looking into the causes that
make divorces so numerous, said that
novels thst gave heroic glamour to
lascivious characters had more to do in
filing the divorce courts than is CON-
monty supposed" This is undoubtedly
true. Many other causes are also at
work causing the separation of those
who have bound themselves together
by the most solemn Of human contracts.
The frequency of divorce has become
so alarming throughout the nation that
all interested in the welfare of human
ity are making earnest inquiries as to
the true causes of the evil and how the
evil itself may be abaLed. An attempt
has been made to establish national
marriage and divorce laws, but the
effort has failed because such laws
would be wholly unconstitutional. An
amendment to the national eonstitu-
ton will have to be adopted before the
result sought by such laws eau be at
taibed. Many others want uniform
marriage and divorce laws in all the
states. Such = system OF laws Is much
to be desired, though Il is very unlike
~ that it can ever be accomplished.
Besides legislation itself can never end
the divorce evil. The matrimonial lila
that crop out In thedivorce courts must
be prevented and cured by other infiu-
enees. These rest chiefly with the
people who enter into the marriage
contract. Persons Of worthless or de-
PRAYED characters cannot expect hap.

NIB. MACYEAGH's IDEAL PREsI.
DENT.


Mr.. WAYNE MCVEIGH's article in
the current Century is wonderful com
round. He describes the present poll
teal situation in the most hopeless
STYLE, but he rebounds from this with
as much hopefnlness as if he never
heard Of rings and bosses and machines
and gives view of presidential cam
paign and a president that would do
honor to the millennium. All which
be seems to think quite possible, even
probable, as an immediate result.
But what Mr.. MACVEAGH thinks
about possibilities in the line of presl-
dents is not of nearly as much import
snce as what he thinks about the present
situation. For a. long rs present con-
dfiuns continue and there is not pros
poets of immediate cnange-it is not
probable that the presidential campaign
will be carried on in such an ideal man.
uer as he outlines.
He traces machine domination in
politics to ring control of municipal
affairs, and thinks that the worst evils
of partisanism have their source in
partisan management of the affairs OF
large cities. He thus explains the fact
that The affairs of government have
been allowed to pass into the hands of
professional politicians.
The average American citizen is st
present without serious political
grievance or serious political senti-
ment OF any kind, and he believes that
his rights will be equally respected, and
the interests of the country, perhaps
equally protC cted, whether one pOliti-
cal psrty or the other controls the gov
eminent. And he does not
feel called upon to concern himself
about politics at all, except possibly to
the extent of voting the ticket of his
party.
But notwithstanding all this, he
seems to think that Independence
among voters has increased to such an
extent that both parties will feel them
selves compelled TO nominate strong,
able, acceptable men, and he lays out a
plan of work that, If followed, would
purify and transform the whole govern
mental machinery.
But Mr.. MACNEAGu is so hopeful as
to be inconsistent. He seems to think
that some such result is not improbable,
and yet does not see much hope for "a
brighter day to dawn for our public life
and our public men," until the reform
has begun with municipal affairs and
spread upward from them. And for
the probability of this he does not eX-
pr,>s the lightest hope.
We fear that Mr.. MACYEAGu will
not see his Ideal president 50 free from
party fea,ty and party neces ity, moved
so entirely by no lie intention and pos
sessed of such ability until he is able to
remove a large part of nominating,
campaigning and election machinery
and bring the whole process into nearer
actual relation with the people than is

women pay less attention to the nom
sense of what they call love, and more
to the practical subjects appertaining to
marriage, and young men more gener-
ally acquire and cultivate the habits
which fit them for the enjoyment Of o
wife and home, the desire for divorce
will be felt and gratified. One clerical
authority, whose church requires him
to deny the validity Of any divorce,
except by death, Monsignor CAPEL says
that parents ought to have more to do
with the marrying Of their children.
He argues that marriages so arranged
result more happily than those which
are known as pure love matches. There
is more truth in the assertion than
many suppose. EIopements and run.
away marriages always occur where
blind love controls, and everyone
knows they end oftener in trouble than
in happenness. Young people who
marry for love solely, frequently
di. cover that they are bound to persons
who do not understand even the COM
monest obligations which are indispen-
sible to family happiness. Legislation
can never cure such cases. rhe reme-
dy is with the parties themselves. A
girl ought to know that the husband
she accept is readily capable of making
her happy, and a young man should
seek for the hand of none but the one
he has cause to know will cheer and
comfort him. When confidence of that
character is established the happiness
of eourtship will be increased in mar
ried life.
