DIVORCES.

The Church all over the civilized
world has wrestled with the SUBJ
ject of divorce. It has not only
been question Of trouble to that
body, but 1t has also been one Of
difficulty to the State. With the
Hypocrisy -practiced by men AAd
women before marriage, 1t could
hardly be expected that there
would be no little trouble in mar.
ried life, from which parties desire
to be relieved. The Bible only lays
down one cause for divorce and
that is a violation of the pledge
ITO forsake all Others" This cause
is the highest, but then If all law
is from God, as declared in the
New Testament, then our statutory
provisions would be sufficient to
justify a separation from all the
marital rights and responsibilities.
Welay down the following causes
as being sufficient when they occur
under existing statute: First, adul-
terry. Second, crime. Third, drunk
enness. Fourth, abuse. Fifth, aban-
donment. desperation occurs for
either of these causes, honestly,
then a divorce can occur without
committing sin. It is true bad men
and women seek enforcement in
order to marry some one else,
through the lust of the flesh. In all
cases If the Judge or jury trying
the cause require the highest grade
Of evidence in the determination
of the same, there will be no great
hardships or wrongs perpetrated
even in case of a second marriage.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-11-03

The Republican editors of the
State should organize and hold edi-
t0rial conventions. There has not
been a union of sentiment on some
Of the questions now before the
people, and there has been no effort
to unite. Let there be an Organiza-
ton, 90 we may agree upon course
that will be approved by the good
people of the State. There is a
large per cent. of the voters who
are dissatisfied with the Democra-
cy as taught and placticed by the
leaders of that party, and if the
Republicans would give assurance
of advocating the needed reforms,
with such protective influences for
the homes of the good, the pure
and the true, it would be easy to
raise the Republican party to a
party of power. The campaign of
1888 will soon be upon US and we
are not prepared to meet its de-
mands, as we have no thorough Or
ganization. The party should be
aunt on whoever is presented for
President and Vice President OF
the United States. What say the
Republican editors Of the State?
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-11-03

Whatever the result Of the cleo.

ed and the work done, it will he
well to settle one thing, and that is,
the Republican party must select
better leaders. Some of the men

The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-11-03

The work Of the political parties
is over for this campaign, and there
is now time to reflect on what has
been done and how it was done.
The TIMES has no reflections upon
its course; it has acted honorably
and for the good Of all men. II
there are any who are dissatisfied
with what it has done, or attempt
ed to do, it is those who are pursu.
ing the wrong, or else are laboring
under mistaken ideas of the right
Our object is to learn what the
right is on all questions and then
pursue 1t. Too many look away
from the right to policy, or rather
to success, not caring for principle.
