We cannot in the least agree with the
Rev. Claude RaboteGl in his views upon
the marriage license bill. and we are
greatly surprised 10 find any Christian
minister arguing in favor of difficulties
to be thrown in the way of contracting
marriage. All history and statistics show
that restrictions upon legalized union
AVE q disastrous effect upon the morals
of a community. The places where mar
rage is most easily contracted show, as
a rule. far lower percentages of illegiti-
macy and other kindred evils than those
in which the marriage tie is surrounded
with all sorts of Safeguards"
1t is true some marriages may be ac-
cornplished with a certain amount of mis-
representation TO the ~elergymen who
solemnize them. 1t is Quite true that
much ~unhappiness results from hasty and
~clandestine unions. But these evils are
not fer a moment to be weighed in the
balance against the wrong which they
very frequently avert. In some countries,
they are still more particular about mar
rage than we propose to be, all with the
best intentions in the world. To prevent
fraud and to impede that haste which sets
parental wishes at defiance, France has
a very strict matrimonial code. The re-
suit is that unsanctioned unions, illegiti-
macy and ever worse evils have made
French morality a byword among Anglo
Saxon moralists. In Bavaria, paternalism
is carried so far that marriage is not all
lowed until the contracting couple can
prove the enjoyment of means of support
ing a family. This is admirable. is it not,
in theory? The fact is this careful coun-
try has the highest percentage of illegiti-
macy in the world and a large majority
OF the youth If both sexes are more or
less depraved in morals by the we'll
meant law.
There is a great deal of talk about New
Jersey marriages. but hardly any fact to
justify the belief that they have done any
serious harm. Il all probability an in
v~estigation would show that the usual
percentage of even the clandestine ones
have turned out happily.

Judge MENUS experience since he has
been here will probably create the i'm

A Great Enterp,ise and the Impeding
Forces.

Now that the franchise for the erec-
pleted thing. it remains to be seen
whether the capital can be raised for the
enterprise. 1t is said that money is tim
oraas at this time, and there are assur-
eddy many things to create fear in this
undertaking. The business which the
Bridge is ultimately to depend on for its
div~idend-paying capacity may easily be
impaired at any time by insane Federal
legislation. The imposition of a Mckinley
rariff may depress the trade of New
York. The interstate fever
which has been growing in intensity for
some years may have its effect. Then
the erection OF the structure is not with
out its elements of uncertainty. 1t will
call for the use of a vast variety of ma
~terials. some of them liable to fuctua-
tons in price from tariff changes. and it
wIl involve the employment of skilled
labor, governed by the caprices of a num-
Der of different unions. These, to be sure,
are all minor elements of doubt in COM
parison with the huge primary one as to
the relation the cost and the
earning capacity. even under favorable
circumstances But they are pretty sure
to AFFECT the minds of investors very Sc
riously. and if times are as timorous as
they are said to be, capitalists may not
be found to take the risk.
Instability is the curse Of the country.
The whole course OF business and govern
ment is so perturbed that 1t is unsafe to
base any calculation on the probabilities
of next month, not to say next year. We
have hardly become accustomed ITO a vio-
lent tariff change when we find an un-
~scrupulous political party urging another
one. To crafty a fanatical crotchet, or to
create q new political power, or both, we
see the New York State Legislature reck-
lesly pass a measure which destroys with
a stroke Of the pen at least ten million
dollars worth Of property, beggars ten
thousand families and throws fifty thous-
and men out OF work.

their rulers. Change in politics, change
in business. change in arnusements are
