A REMEDY FOR EASY DIVORCE

The best citizens of the United States
are much concerned as to the evils of lax
marriage and divorce laws, and the
search for a remedy was perhaps never
before as general and as earnest as it is
at the present time. Bishop Stevens, Of
Pennsylvania, delivered a strong address
on the subject in Philadelphia recently,
and the Diocesan Convention appointed
a committee to act with similar commit.
tees from the other dioceses within the
State, "with the view of devising and
executing some method of educating
public sentiment and procuring, if pos
sible, such legislation as shall abate
the evil" If all the churches Of
the country would cooperate to Sc
cure uniform marriage and divorce
laws, it might not require many years
to accomplish that very desirable result
1t would not be difficult to induce the
Governors of all the States to each ap
point two distinguished delegates to
convention to draft the desired laws, ant
the influence of such q Convention woult
be vast, and the labors of its member
be well rewarded, even if only a part o
the State Legislatures should enact thu
measures prepared by them. Many
denominations are the product of the pres
emit condition of marriage and divorces
laws in this country. and the benefits o
uniformity would be SO great that its ad
vocates should aim at the ultimate estab
lishment of uniform marriage and divorces
laws for all nations. The fact that
Frenchman may come to this country
and marry q wife and then return t.
France and repudiate the marriage, un
less care has been taken to secure exac'
conformity to the French statute. is suf
ficient to show the need of uniform mar
riage and divorce laws for the world.

The position which Senator Sherman
takes on silver does not appear to be as
broad as it might be. He is reported to
be in favor of the coinage Of gold and
silver on equal terms, but he thinks that
the standard dollar should be increased
in value until it is equal to a gold dollar.
The effort to base silver legislation on
the proposition that the silver industry
is entitled to encouragement, has . tend.
ency rather to belittle the question. In
the abstract point of view, silver deserves
the fostering care of the Government,
lust as much as coal or iron. But that is
not the controlling consideration. The
silver question is OF absorbing interest to
every debtor in the country, no matter
whether he or it be an individual, a city,
the State or the nation.
The proposition of Mr.. Sherman is to
add to all debts the difference now exist
ing between gold and silver. Says the
San Francisco Bulletin: We do not think
that that would be just or that the PEG.
pie would stand it. Silver down is only
. convertible term for gold up. Gold is
up because of the unfriendly legislation
against silver. The metallic adjustment
disturbed by the intrusion OF Bismarck,
without much knowledge of what he was
about, is certain to be restored, for there
is not enough gold in the world to go
around. In the United States the two
metals are all right if the d~octrinaires
and those who are merely actuated by
selfish motives will let them alone.
Furthermore, if there were M ques-
tions of right involved the practicability
of Senator Sherman's notion, which, Of
course, is not new, is q matter of extreme
doubt. If the standard dollar were
made equal in value to the gold dollar,
variation in the price of silver would
send either one or the other metal out Of
the country. If silver should go up, it
would be sent to the melting-pot and ex-
ported. This is what happened before,
and would happen again under like cir
cumstances. A rise of a penny in the
ounce would be sufficient to deprive us
at my time of small change. It seems
to the generality of people that the inan.
cial adjustment, for the present is all
right if let alone. The question Of the
money standards is not one that the
United States controls. When the policy
of the other nations of civilization is
crystalized we will be able to place our
financial system IN an enduring basis,
but not much before.

Come, let us sit together for a space,
In this still room, remote from friehh
mirth,
Afar from light and music. face to face,
Each unto each the dearest thing ON EARN.
Love, they have left us, our two bonny bridtt
Our tall grave girl, our w,nsotne, laughinJ

All me! How wide the chasm that divides
Our life from theirs; how far their feet aro
set
From the calm path they trod with us so long
How we shall miss them, we who loved them
SO,
On winter nights. when winds are blowinE
On summer mornings when the roses blow.
But--happy but-we still clasp hand In hand
Eye still meets eye and true hearts uhder
stand.
love, they have left us empty of the mirth
That cheered our homestead while they so
journed here;
Yea they have left us lonely on the earth,
Lone, but together, solitude most dear;
All, God, 40 with them TO the stranger nests,
That love has built for them and theirs to
come.
G cd keep all warm and living In their breasts
Loves holy fame the altar-fre of home.
Dear, they have left us; we no longer hold
The first best place, however lcal each
heart.
Yet have we treasures left, refined gold,
Loves sterling ore, without its bascr part,
The wide old house has lost its nesting birds.
But we are left, All, love, what need of
