Are Episcopalian Clergymer Com.
PEELED to Marry Divorced Persons?

A startling sequel to the public protest
against the marriage in church by n clergy
man of the Church of England of man
against whom decree of divorce had been
granted, which was made by the Rev. Mr..
BLACK at recent London wedding, is the
opinion delivered by DIR. TRIsTRAM, Chan
cellor of the diocese of London, that
clergyman has no option in the matter, but
must perform the ceremony if a special
license has been obtained. This opinion
respecting the law has surprised and alarmed
churchmen throughout England.
Apart from the question whether his
mode OF attracting attention to the case was
judicious or proper, there is no doubt that
in opposing the marriage the Rev. Mr..
BLACK represented the sentiment of the
great body OF churchmen, English and
American, who believe in marriage as sac
rament, and not merely MS civil contract.
While there is diversity of opinion as to the
propriety of the innocent party to di-
vorce suit remarrying, the bulk of the
Episcopalian communion is shocked ut the
thought of the Church snnctioning the
administration of the sacrament to the
guilty party. The law permits him to
marry again, and he can do so before a civil
officer; but it has been assumed hitherto
that it did not compel the Church to per-
form the ceremony, and that where such
marriages have occurred it has been due to
laxity on the part of the Church officials
The subsequent developments in the case
are, therefore, surprising
The clergyman who oniciated published
an awkwardly worded explanation, which
seemed to imply that the divorced man was
the innocent party to the suit and asserted
that he had no option in the matter, as he
acted by the special mandate of his diocesan,
the natural inference being that the Bishop
Of London had intervened directly. The
mandate turned out to be nothing more
than the special license dispensing with the
banns, issued in the ordinary course of brsi-
ness by n subordinate In the Chancellor =
Office, of course without the Bishops knowl-
edge. He is reported by the Guardian to
have said THAT, while he had no power
to object, nothing on earth would induce
him to perform such a ceremony himself"
DIR. TRIsTRAM however, who Is Chancel-
lor of the diocese, and as such is Judge of
the Bishops consistory court, took occasion
at the next two sessions of the court to
make elaborate statements of the law in the
matter. As the case was not before him,
his opinion is cxtrajudicial; but as he has
been at the head OF the court for twenty
two years, and is one of the foremost canon
lawyers in England, his opinion has weight,
and he is supported in it by Lord GRIM
THORPE, Vicar-General OF the province
of York. DIR. TRIsTRAM maintains, first,

licenses, for a license must issue as a
matter of right to any one who can
show that there is no legal impediment to
the marriage; adding that when the late
| Bishop Of London directed him to issue no

The Closed Doors in the White House

Some persons Of imaginative rather than
philosophc mind and disposition, have
been excited by the published announce
ment that the Red and Blue parlors in the
White House are now closed to visitors,
leaving only the East Room open to public
inspection. Heretofore the two rooms now
closed have been shown to visitors, and
there Is some dissatisfaction with the estab-
lishmcnt of the new rule of exclusion.
Persons familiar with the interior ar
rangement of the White House-a subject
which appears to be of much more concern
to Republicans than to Democrats just now
are aware that in one side of the main
house is the Green Room, so called, then the
Blue Room, and beyond that the Red Room.
Opposite is the East Room, still open to Wis
itors and still shown 10 sightseers. The
closing Of the Red AID Blue rooms in the
White House is held by some persons to be
an undemocratic restriction of public rights

in building which belongs to all the peo-
pie. Others believe that it has deeper
significance.
Probably those who think that some dark
and sinister scheme is hidden under what
seems to be simple regulation Of the
White House, are in error The same per-
sons objected with equal vigor and vehe-
mence to the employment Of sentries at the
approaches to the White House, but their
apprehensions proved to be groundless. Mr..
THURBER desired to protect Mr.. CLEVELAND
from the intrusions OF wild Western Popu-
lists in Washington, who, watching the
Presidents course and the course OF the
Presidents followers in Congress, began to
suppose that they would he welcome visit
ors ut his official residence, even IL they
trod upon the grass, as CoxEY did, to get
there. But it turned out afterward that no
particular Significance was to be attached
to the sentry-box order Very likely 1t
will hereafter appear that the closing
of the Red and Blue rooms in the
White House has no relation to the
foreign policy of the CLEVELAND Ad-
ministration. Some other reasons may
account for it. TnURBER may be tired. In
Mr. CLEvELAND's absence the rush to the
White House may he so great that there Is
danger that the fixtures and furnishings OF
the Red and Blue rooms may be damaged.
The money necessary to pay the attendants
of the White House may not be forthcom-
ing from depleted Treasury. The CLEvE-
LAND Administration may have consecrated
itself recently to the cause Of retrenchment
and economy. Again, the White House
may not be SO attractive to Democrats as 1t
was on and Immediately after March q,
1893, and one room may suffice for the Wis
itors, where heretofore at least three rooms
were required
Whatever may be the reason for the estab-
lishment of the new rule, it is certainly not
the one assigned by excited persons: that
the closing of the Red and Blue rooms was
in accordance with the foreign policy Of the
Administration, and directly occasioned by
hatred of the colors Of the flag. This is an
accusation not supported by evidence.

being badly spoiled by his grand
