Faith Cures Possible.

The reported cases OF the successful opera
tion Of the faith cure, which are received
with SO much incredulity by the run OF
people, are seriously regarded by SO high q
medical authority as the London Lancet.
Such cures 1t regards as altogether possi-
BILE. though 1t ascribes thom to natural
causes wholly. Instead OF faith cures, they
are rather self cures worked by tho force Of
the will and the Imagination. Wo all know
that the mere determination to get we'll
often very much assists in the work Of
combating disease OF certain kinds. The
wise physician does not fail to use the i'm
agination of a patient to help In producing
cure. stimulating 1t to conquer the DISPOSE
tion to yield to bodily depression; and quacks
very generally play on this faculty both
to aggravats the gravity Of the malady, so
as to excite wonder at their. extraordinary
healing power, and to hasten favorable re-
suit by begetting hope and confidence.
As the Lancet says, a man may actually be
made Ill by being told that he looks badly
and 10 evidently the victim OF disease. That
Is q trick which has been often played by
practical jokers, and sometimes with very
serious consequences. SO that man who was
well at the start has taken to his bed with
veritable illness. In times OF pestilence, too,
alarm contributes much to swell the number
OF those who fall prey to disease.
So, also. II people Of quick imaginations
and sensitive nervous organizations can be

Our esteemed contemporary, the Philadel-
phia Press, Is the authority for saying that
Gov. HoApnY is still undecided about making
a second attempt to be elected Governor OF
Ohio. The Press represents that Gov.
HoADLY has been led to reconsider his pre-
vious determination not to enter the ap-
pronching contest through the solicitation OF
President CLEVELAND. and that the latter
has promised that he will deal with the Ohio
appointments in q manner satisfactory to
Gov HoADLY.
This part OF the story Is scarcely to be
credited. 1t isn't probable that Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND has agreed to any such thing.
But, without taking that into considera-
ton. 1t is plain that Gov. HoADLY should
settle the question promptly in favor Of the
Ohio Democrats. and place himself once more
in the hands Of his friends. The Republicans
have already nominated his old antagonist
JOE FORAKER; and II the Democrats want
HoADLY, with the prestige Of victory, where
with again to do battle with FORAKER they
ought to have him.

We learn from the report of tho Royal
Commission which has been investigating
the housing OF the poor OF England that Lon
don is much behind New York in the matter
Of the sanitary inspection OF the tenement
houses. What correspond to our lodging
houses are kept under police supervision, but
the great mass OF the dwellings, occupied by
the poor are left without investigation, so
that this commission first made known OFF,
olally the condition of such habitations.
In general, sanitary laws are grossly vlo-
lated in the construction Of the houses into
which the London poor are crowded, the
death rate in them is two and three times the
average rate, and the time lost to their un-
fortunate Inhabitants because OF illness is ex-
traordinarily great. Tho rule in many quar-
tors Is for one family to be crowded into
single room, and in proportion to the space
obtained the rents are about MS large rs they
are In New York. Water convcniences. which
are regarded as necessity here, nre lacking,
and in all sanitary respects the tonements
arc In shameful condition.
Except in two districts. the local nuthori-
ties allow tho people to live ns they please
six, eight, ten, or twelve In q room, ard
crowds Of casual dodgers to sleep In the halls
and stairways. Those exceptional districts
are Chelsea and Hackney, and there the en-
forcement OF sanitary laws Is more like that
to which we arc accustomed In Now York.
But what has been the result? The very
poor have boon drivon away, because the
better the dwellings are made tho higher
have tho rents risen.
These people fly to the districts whore
landlords aud tenants are not subjected to
close sanitary supervision, where there Is no
Interference with overcrowding, and where
consequently they can live more cheaply.
Tho improved habitations of Chelsea and
Hackney draw bstter class OF tenants, and
the dwellings elsewhere are more than ever
crowded. and worse than ever In sanitary
respects. Tho poor do not spread them
selves over wider area and SO got more air
and space, but tend TO the districts where
the population Is already densely packed.
This they do from compulslon, for In Lon
don. as In Nsw York, the workers must In
great part find their homes near their work.
They cannot choose their tenements with
reference to the salubrlousness OF the sur
roundin9s, but must select them where they
can 60 to and from their work with essa
and rapidity. Besides. they want to be near
to the amusements which make existence
tolerabe To them, aud tn got which they are
ready to give up the benefits OF purer air and
healthier Iuartcrs They crave social relax
ations even more tLsn the rich. and are even
moro dependant on them.
The experience of Chelsea and Hackney Is
the Same as We have had In New York, The
JrsprovoIa6pt OF tonsnents required BY the
Health Department subjects landlords TO an
expense which. as matter Of course they
put on their tepsnts. II the house Is made
better the ronts are raised proportionally,

duoes uew tenants who require decentcr
quarters and are abc TO pay for them. The

cleanly seek homes In houses where sanitary
improvements have not sent up prices.
Take the case Of our Tenth ward, for In
stance. It is situated In region which for
many years must he densely peopled, for II
Is near to the work Of many thousands Of
people. To get 1t into proper sanitary con-
dition q vast amount OF money must be
spent In remodelling the tenement houses,
which arc chiefly dwellings formerly occu-
pied by single families. This expenditure
will cause tho landlords to charge higher
prices, and the character Of tho population
will consequently change. The people who
are satisfied with mean quarters and are
unable or unwilling to pay for any better will
be driven elsewhere to again overcrowd
houses and defy the laws OF public health.
They must have some homes, and decent
tenements are beyond their reach, or cost
more than they can givo and still have the
amusements and dissipations they demand.
For 1t must be borne In mind that there
are thousands Of people in New York who
prefer q good drink to good bed, who had
rathor spend an evening in comfortable
and gay saloon, with its opportunities for
social intercourse. than to enjoy pure air at
night. Their homes they are in for few
hours only, and they do not care much what
they are 80 long as they are cheap, II out
slde they can get what they want. Many
more thousands. too, no matter how close
their economies, can afford to pay no moro
than the price OF the poorest and meanest
tenement In quarter Of the city to which
they can walk from their work.
Perhaps there arc between one hundred
thousand and two hundred thousand people
in New York too poor to pay the prices OF
rooms In tho better tenement houses. Where
shall they gop What shall be done with
them II their landlords, compelled to make
extensive alterations to satisfy sanitary reg
ulations, raise rents correspondingly? Shall
we drive them into the river?
These are terrible questions, and they
make tho whole subject Of the sanitary i'm
provement OF dwellings one OF tho greatest
perplexity. The plan OF building tenement
houses in tho lower part Of the city, which
will be tried by the company started by Mr..
JOSEPH w DRExEL and his friends, Is an adj
mirable one, SO far as 1t goes; but can this
company build enough houses to satisfy the
demand, to meet the needs OF o hundred
thousand people and more2 Will men

In tenement houses when they can get twice
or thrice as much? Is it possible to make

The tenement question is q serious problem,

that, aftsr all. they are not badly ofR, the way
to . cure may be made easy. Very likely
the trouble with them 10 largely hypo-
ohondriacal, and illness is often increased
by such mental depression. To raise them
from despondency to hopefulnees is Of itself
to effect cure; or, II not SO much "a that. to
put them Gu the road to speedy recovery.
In the faith cure the patients thoughts are
directed to some power outside OF himself
and outside OF nature. In which he is brought
to trust. Forgetting his Ills, real or imagi-
nary, he concentrates his intellect and emo
tions on this supernatural agency, to which
he appeals with fervent prayer. At last the
requisite degree OF faith is worked up In
him. He feels that the miracle is possible
In his case. and then the cure may be
wrought. He rises from his depression, his
will is strengthened, he will be sick no more,
and is we'll man. for the time being at
least, because he feels himself to be we'll.
All this. say the medical authorities. ls far
from impossible In certain cases and with
certain natures; but 1t is entirely within the
laws Of nature, for body and mind act and
react on each other, and arc parts Of the
same organism. The body may be cured
through the mind, and the mind can be
healed by treating tho dlsordered body.
Even, therefore, II We refuse to believe
that there Is anything supernatural in the
faith cure, 1t is not safe to say that 1t does
not work practically. The evidence that the
sick have been healed by faith, or by will and
imagination, as the doctors might say, 10
too strong and too particular to be cast
aside and scoffed at. We observe, however,
that the cases are usually among women,

sions and who rise to 30 great q height Of

The New Pennsylvania Marriage Law

On Cne urSC OI n01G OCUODer ueW law re-
quiring licenses for marriages will go into
effect In Pennsylvania. Failure to get
license, however, will not invalidate the mar
riage, though the Clergyman or magistrate
who joins an unlicensed couple in matrimony
will be liable to a fine OF one hundred dollars.
The license fee Is too small to act as a him
drance to marriage being only fifty cents,
and, inasmuch as people can marry them
selves after having obtained tho permit. tho
trifling charge can cause no hardship and
may really encourage matrimony. At the
time they get their license the couple may
also make out marriage papers and have the
marriage recorded, SO that they will be made
man and wife at less cost than II they were
Joined by priest or Justice.
Such o marriage law cannot be regarded
favorably by those who look upon the union
rs religious sacrament, for it Is likely to
increase tho tendency to enter into matri-
mony without the blessing Of the Church.
OF course it will be in Pennsylvania as 1t is
In France, where, despite the fact that tho
only legal marriage Is the civil ceremony be-
fore notary. even people who are without
religious faith are subsequently married by a
priest, to satisfy the opinions and prcjudices
of society. But there and here many couples
are to be found who are careless OF what
society thinks, or who live among those
who do not share the usual aversion to a
merely civil marriage. So long rs they have
legal marriage certificate they are satisfied.
So far as the Pennsylvania law requires a
registry OF marriages, it Is a desirable enact
ment. The interests Of children and OF
property are involved In such contracts. and
as complete record OF them should be kept
as is now kept OF deeds. But here In New
York. though the law makes it obligatory on
clergymen to eend to the Health Department
records OF all tho marriages at which they
ofiiclate they are~so remiss in their duty
that the registry loses its value. 1t seems,
too that under the Pennsylvania law it is
made no special officers duty to enforce
the penalty for marriage without license,
and that, therefore, the most important end
1t was desired to secure by its enactment
the full registry OF marriages-is likely to
be defeated.
The law, however. throws some safeguards
around marriage, contract OF the greatest
gravity, but into which men and women now
enter more thoughtlessly than into any other.
The applicant for marriage license must
swear that there are no legal impediments
to the union, and the clerk must certify that
he believes that this Is true.
Here in New York 1t Is hard to escape the
obligations OF marriage. but couple can
get married at any moment. without any
preliminary license or ceremony, and by any
minister they can pick up to pronounce them
man and wife. though no knows nothing
about them. and Is. OF course, unable to find
out whether there Is or is not legal impedi-
ment to the union. Hence 1t Is that sooun-
drels find 1t 90 easy to practise bigamy.
