The document issued by q mass
meeting of citizens Of Knoxville, ad-
dressed to the Justices of the Peace,
of East Tennessee, and published in
the Knoxville /0n,nal of Dec. Sd, is
a movement that ought to receive
the cordial sympathy of every intel
ligent citizen in the state. The OBJ
ject is to provide some means by
which the punishment Of youthful
and petty offenders may be modified
and made reiormatory rather than
retributive and demoralizing. The
attainment OF this object is worth
our best efforts and most serious
considerations and we trust that the
Justices will take up the subject in
earnest.

SO hut the rank and file of the Re-
publican party IS eager for instruc-
ton and competent leadership. So
far from vainly imagining that they
are possessed OF all wisdom, the
members Of the Republican party
are ever ready patiently to hear and
fairly to judge any new political
prophet who comes with amessage
of wisdom. Only it must be wis.
dom and not idle vaporing; and our,
votes must mean some practical ac-
complishnent and not merely rep
resent shots into space, with no
expectation Of visible result If we
are offered candidate for our Con-
gressional Representative who has
all moral eXcellencies but no physi-
cal or mental qualifications to rem
der us any practical service, it need
not surprise the saints if we choose
the man who knows something at
least, about the business, in prefer
ence to mere moral virtues. Moral
ity is most excellent, but it will not
enable a man to tie bleeding ar
terry or set abroken leg. TO do that
properly requires the skill of the
trained physician. 1t would be rs
reasonable to expect people TO en-
ploy a doctor on account of moral
virtues, despite lack Of special
qualification, as to vote for an en-
bodiment of Christian morality,
when practical qualifications were
wanting. Does that argue a non
appreciation of morality? Certainly
not necessarily! Nor can it be
| doubted that the voters of this Dis.
trict would support true and well
qualified Republican with all the
moro enthusiasm and party zeal, il

blameless life and character Wha,

THE baccarat scandal and the appear
ance of the Prince of Wales as witness
in the case, is having a deal more atten-
ton in American newspapers than it is
worthy Of If the scandals of the titled
ones of Europe are to be food for read
ing, there is enough of such odor-
Gus matter to exclude from the press all
news and comment. There is too much
of useful thought, of human interest,
progress and worth to be talked of, to
waste time and space in airing the card

The Union League petition to Congress,
among other things, asks for laws which
shall authorize any citizen to appear in
open court in order, In good faith, to con-
test the right of any applicant to certifi-
cate of naturalization, or to set aside any
such certificate improperly granted:
Which shall authorize any court having
jurisdiction to declare null and void any
certificate or order of naturalization made
in fraud or in violation of existing laws.
If we understand the guarantees of the
law as it stands, any citizen may now APP
pear in open court and contest the right
Of any applicant for admission to citizen
ship. The court, says the law, must be
Satisfied Of the fitness of the applicant"
1t may, therefore, of course, receive any
testimony offered for or against the appIi-
cation. Indeed, no court would venture to
refuse protesting citizen hearing. If.
however, affirmative declaration of the
right to protest will inspire citizens with
courage to do SO, the proposed law may
well be passed. So, too, it is well to en-
act that fraudulently obtained letters of
admission may be set aside. But as fraud
Vitiates all things based upon it, it is
probable that court on its equity side
would now hear applications to annul
letters it had issued. But to neither of
these affirmative amendments petitioned
for will there be raised any objection
worth the mention.

UNIFORM MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE
LAWS.

The New York Mail and Express is at
tempting to again rouse public feeling
concerning the existing incongruous mar
rage and divorce laws of the various
States. The Express declares that there
must be uniform law, but it evades the
issue concerning the proposed assump-
ton of jurisdiction by the Federal Gov
eminent. The country is ready, it is
true for uniformity, but is not ready to
amend the Constitution to secure it. All
the tendencies of the time move away
from the investment of the Federal Gov
eminent with greater power in such mat
ters.
We had hoped that the proposed con-
vention of lawyers and philanthropists,
to be held this spring, would have been
carried out. The subject to engross its
attention was to have been this single
question. The probability is that when
uniformity is reached it will have been
attained through voluntary action by the
States. The late Judge Davis believed
that this can be secured. His plan was
to have a convention of State representa-
tives named by the Governors, to discuss
and agree upon a marriage and divorce
system uniform in its operation.
The distinguished jurist, who gave the
best years of his life to the study of the
IL, ~
does not exist among the people of the
several States such attachment to the
existing divorce laws as is supposed. He
held that it would not be difficult mat
ter by consultation in a spirit broad and
generous, to secure the abolition of the
most Objectionable features of the divorce
laws at the very first attempt, and that
subsequent progress would be natural
and easy.
Congress in 1887 appropriated $4,000 to
pay for an exhaustive compilation and
comparison of the marriage and divorce
laws Of all the States and Territories, and
of all related statistics. The work was
OlAlltlGtSA gnu Civ GI Oll& III DOOh AUTH III
1889. The statistics presented are of a
startling character. Could they be gem
orally published, and by the press given
in substance to the people, we believe
that quite half the approach to uniformity
would be accomplished. The subject is
one vitality important, but it will not be
advanced to settlement ~ attempts to
secure Federal marriage and divorce
law. The States will not surrender their
jurisdiction, because of the indisposition
of the people to give to the General Gov
eminent enlarged powers. But we be-
heve that they will, as already said, be
very much inclined to correct by local
legislation such evils of non-uniformity
as a committee of eminent representa-
uves of all the States might recommend.
Why cannot such body be convened?
