It appears that the negotiations be.
tween Russia and England are not yet
settled, but are still in progress, and
that although peace is reasonably as
sured, the terms have not been definite
ly agreed upon. Thus the fine rheto-
rio about the cars love for the British
cabinet and the browning triumph of
Gladstone has been shot off rather pre-
maturely. If an an1icable agreement
shall be reached it will be simply be-
cause the car has obtained ALL or
nearly all, he desires at present, and be-
cause Mr.. Gladstone knows that Eng
land is in no condition to enter upon a
prolonged contest with her powerful
adversary at this time. That is all
there is about it. Russia has gained in
prestige and England has lost by the
negotiations, but VAR has probably been
averted,

A Boston minister in late sermon
on marriages" states that in Massachu-
setts IN 1860 there was one divorce to
5Omarriages, in 1876 to every 20, and
in 1883 / to every II. In New England
1900 families are broken up by divorce
every year. This alone is an appalling
state of affairs. Along with the in
crease in divorce moral poison has in
creased. In the period between 1860
70 divorce increased two and one half
times in frequency, while crimes against
chastity and morality increased three
fold. The preacher thinks the only
remedy is higher idea of marriage,
and changes can only be averted when
young men and women look at matri-
mony as means of moral elevation
and spiritual enlightenment.

The glut of money in the great banks
of Europe is something phenomenal.
The Bank of England has gained in
specie and bullion during the past four
months about G5,5OO,OOO, or nearly
1927 SOC, 900, and its rate OF discount has
run down to II per cent. per annum.
The Bank of France has, in little over
tw" months, gained in specie and
bullion about $19, 200, 900, but that in
stitution seldom changes it's rate of dis
count, which has been kept for a long
time at three per cent. These facts
simply show a great stagnation in bust
ness affairs an2 lack of uses for money
