Marriage of Second Cousins.
Chicago Journal.

Chicago Journal.
Not to be behind the legis-
latures Of other States in the matter
of gratuitous legislation the lower
House in Wisconsin has advanced
20 a third reading a bill to prohibit
the marriage Of second cousins.
This, like so many other current
measures, is an understandable in
vasiou Of personal rights The con
test, heretofore, has been with
reference to the marriage of first
cousins, which in some States is
permitted, while in others, as in
Illinois and Wisconsin, it is IN
lawful But the extension of the
statutory bar to second cousins is an
unheard-of piece of impertinence,
censi derably worse than that En-
gIisb extravaganza, the horror Of
any such amendment to the laws as
would permit a man to marry his
decea.ed wife's sister.
1t is question how far these
matters are fit subject of statutory
regulation and how far they should
be left to be governed by instinct
and social custom. Such statute
as that proposed in Wisconsin can
have no reason in it, at all events,
unless it rests on the common in
stinct of the community at large
How far the intimate family bond
extends is wholly a matter Of Gus
tom. IL early times it is coexten-
sive with the tribal relation, and
there II the same horror of wedlock
between members of the same tribe
or clan As at a later stage is found
between the nearest relatives. 1t Is
idle for meddlesome legislatures
to seek to extend social instinct
by statute beyond the bounds which
nature and hereditary custom have
established.
The mania for this sort of legis-
lauon, which aims to regulate the
private conduct of individuals and
exercise a censorship over their
morals, il one of the most signih-
cant features Of the present day,
and indicates widespread dis
position to disLrust the ancient
liberties guaranteed by the Consti-
tuition Of the United States to all
American citizens. This distrust is
no doubt due chiefly to the agitation
Of sociaGstic iunoyators, whose
doctrines have infected great part
OF the population, especially IN
rural quarters. Professional agita
tors have taught the more volatile
part Of the people to think that
the ume-honored laws which allow
each man the free pursuit of happi-
ness are inadequate for then. pro-
lection, aud ,hey therefore demand
the regulation by statute of the
ninulest details Of life. This ten
dcncy leads TO many absurd bills
and acts Of legislation such as this
bin now pending in the Wisconsin
House
