stances intolerable, and divorce
for variety Of causes are as essential to-
Gay as when they were permitted in the
days of MOSES. The evil is to be deplored;
the hardness of the hearts Of the people is
to be deplored; the danger to the state
which danger to the family involves is to
be deplored; but it is questionable if
national legislation can cure the evil or
very materially improve IL. After all, the
stability, the purity, the nobility and all
that is commendable in a nation, must
spring from the character of the units
composing it. And if those units are not
righteous, upright and honest, then it will
be in vain that we shall look for the ap-
pearance of those qualities in the nation.
The character Of those units cannot be
much affected by restrictive laws; they
will be more affected, more influenced by
education and by home influence than by
legislative enactments; and it must be
through those channels that instability in
the marriage relation and all other evils
must primarily be affected, and not only af-
fected, but cured if cured they can he. In
other words, we believe there is but one
means that will amount to anything in
checking this evil of divorce, and that is to
so educate and purify the people until they
shall no longer apply for or desire divorce.
In other words, it is an evil that must be
corrected through the influence of religion
anu the church. We can hope for but little
from the state.

point their man. because Mr.. HARRISON
did not recognize their right to fill the
office.
President HARRISON has done mighty few
things which can be commended by the
independent, non partisan citizen, but his
course in this case should be warmly ap-
proved. 1t is to be hoped that he will make
this precedent for his future guidance.
The Senators have come to think that
the federal patronage in their respec-
tive states belongs to them and
can be distributed as they will, the Presi-
dent having nothing to do in the matter be-
yond signing the commissions. The Sena-
tors can show no reason why this should
be So They have simply assumed it, and
ii has been conceded so long that they think
it is right inherent in them. We are
heartily glad that HARRISON has found
courage to depart from the custom and snub
the Senators whose present indignation is
as vain as their claim was impudent.
As to BEATTY, it is believed that he will
make as good Judge as any Republican in
Idaho. He is not great lawyer, it is true;
but where are the great lawyers who are
accepting poorly paid judgeships in the far
west? The really able lawyers are at the
bar, where the money is to be made, and
not on the bench, where there is small
money for hard work. A good lawyer In
Idaho will earn three or four times a. much
as Judge BEATTY's salary, and as it is cash
rather than title which your average good
lawyer is striving for, it is not surprising
that so many second class lawyers get upon
the bench.
