Horror, c. J.: concur in the syllabus
of the foregoing opinion, and also in the
judgment, to be rendered but do not con
cur in many things stated in the opinion it,
self 49,
In the light of this Judicial explanation Of
the injustice Of the Law As il now stands, Is
il any wonder that an effort vas made to
correct the manifest wrong and injustice that
had and would be perpetra.ed under lis pro
visionsp
In the Senate Of 1859 there were SIX Sena-
tors serving second term; all of them had
voted in the session of 1887 to amend the
law which had been in force twenty-six years,
by raising the age of consent from ten to
eighteen year,. The amended Law had been
in force two years, and the manner Of its un-
just operation had been demonstrated.
Several young men had been sent to the
peni,entiary, by prostitutes who happened to
be under eighteen years Of age, on the charge
of rape.
To correct this gross injustice the Judiciary
Committee drafted a bill which passed the
Senate February I,th, 1889. The following
is copy Of the bill:

Of said chapter Iso of the Laws Of Kansas
1887, and all acts and parts Of acts In con
nict with this act, are hereby repealed.
SEC. 4. This act shall take effect and b,

The charge Is made that this bill loweret
the age Of consent from IS to n yean, bu
such Is not the case, as will be seen by read
ing sections and 3. II Is true that Il va,
reduced from IS to rs, but the real intentios
Of the bill was to allow defense to be made
by the defendant In case the female was Of
bad reputation by inserting in section the
words "of good repute," which brough, into
question her bad reputation II she was over
"a and under 10 years Of age. The bill pro
vded full protection to the innocent, respect
able girl below IS years Of age, and also to
the immoral girl below twelve, II any had
become depraved a, that age.
The only mistake made by the Senate. II
any, was in not leaving the Law at IS years,

next session II found necessary. In view Of

Marriage by Capture.

Marriage by capture is a very old
and very widely spread custom. It
prevails among the Hindoos, the Kal-
mucks and Circassians, and the prim.
tive races Of Australia, New Zealand
and America, but instead of abduc-
ton being considered an outrage by
these half civilized peoples, it is
looked upon as q preliminary mar
riage rite, and, as general rule, the
coy damsel is by no means averse to
the mild violence.
Abduction became so common in
England in the reigns of the Tudor
princes that a statute was passed on
the subject, and this was followed by
an act Of Elizabeth which took away
the benefit Of clergy from the offend
er, and it was not till 80 late as the
reign of George " that the crime
ceased to be a capital offense and
punishable with death. = London

Early Scotch Church discipline.

In 1648 the session of Galston
unanimously concluded and ordained
that two of the town elders should
leach of them, night about, go visit
the toune and Gatesyd on the Sab
bath night, about seven hours, and
see that none be in toune except the
inhabitants thereof" At every fair
or race there were elders told off to
perambulate the market place or the
race course, as the case might be,
and report every immortality they
saw or heard.
Not a wedding or a Eerrymaking
could be held without ecclesiastical
detectives being sent to inquire into
all that happened thereat and inform
the kirk session Of the numbers pres
ent and the nature of the entertain
ment. And any remissness on the
part of elders in discovering and de-
lating immoralities was not only CEN
sured by presbyteries, but com,
planned Of by the people. Rev. DR..
