SOCIAL EVILS.

Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott preached a
special discourse, on Feb. 2, on MAR
riage and Divorce" Inthe course OF his
remarks he declared his relief, in the po-
sition held by the Roman Catholic
church, which regards marriage as a
sacrament undesirable by human law.
In these days, when the theory so 6, ner-
ally prevails that marriage is only a
civil contract that may be set aside for
trivial causes, it is encouraging to notice,
on the part of any clergyman, an elfor t
to teach some higher view Of MARI age
than than which is so current. Why do
not the puIpir and the church open the 7
eyes, TO he fact that ore OF the creates I
pcrils to morals and society, at the pres
ent day, is in the low views held OF the
family as divine inst tuition, and the i'll.
difference manifested to the frequent dis.
ruption Of families under legal forms
This process goes on in all our countit S
twice year, and amost no notice is
taken of it. Neither church nor pulpit
raises its voice against it, and the public
are being educated to regard marriage
views as having no binding force again, t
inclination or convenience, and that the '
may be cast asidfas' readily as wor'
out garment. Why should the pulpits b.
utterly dumb. to this wanton wreckae,
of families and the dishonor done to Il ,
marriage bond, tilthe congregations b,
come so full OF divorced persons that it
does not REUTER- the words ofthe Master
on this subje ct ?-yermont Chronicle.

GOOD MORALS.

1t is interesting to notice that in con-
neclion with the growth of athletics
there is the most pronounced and univer-
sal condemnation OF professional pueiism
and prize fighting. States that have had
no laws forbidding these have made all
haste to enact some. And now Congress,
with no opposition, has found time in
the midst gifts exciting duties, to pass
Flaw prohibiting all prize fights bull nights,
ETC., in any Of the territories OF the United
States
As the result Of this strong, outspoken
opposition to prize fighting, several pu'
gilists have, during the past SIX months,
been obliged to flee from one state to an
other to find place where, undlsturbed
by the officers of the law, they could
pommel each Other to their hearts con.
tent. For some weeks past they have
been hanging on to the southernmost
borders of our republic thinking, II they
could not find a place to bring off their
fight on the soil of the United States, they
could pass over the line into Mexico,
with the assurance thatin the land where
bull fights are allowed, no voice would be
raised against prize fighting.
But now word comes that the Mexican
government, having learned that prize
fighting has been forbidden by every state
in this Union, proposes not to allow ii in
Mexico. President Diaz gives notce that
he shall preventit. Itispleasant to know
that by our example we are influencing
our sister republic on the south towards
good in one thing. Bull fights will go
next. Moral influences are not idle

The monthly report just issued by the
agricultural department at Washingt on
shows that Vermont leads the New Eng
land states in the crops of corn, wheat,
barley, and stands second on the list for
oats, rye potatoes, buckwhcat and hay
Maine leads on oats, potatoes, hay and
buckwheat, while Massachusetts leads
the list on rye. The corn crop was the
largest in 16 years, while the average
price is the lowest in the same period
The wheat crop was less than usual and
the price lower.

The latest census returns show that, in
the New England states, the proportion
of women to men is on the decrease. In
Vermont the number of females has been
less than males since 1870 at least. In
1870 the males exceeded the females by
SOL. In 1890 the excess of males over
females was 6,232. Though there has
been in Maine a constant relative
decrease e the number of females to
males since 1870, it was not till 1890
that an actual excess Of males over
females was shown. New Hampshire
still has an excess OF females over macs.
but it is decreasing at the rate OF 026
per cent per decade. A change i'll the
same direction is going on in Connect
cut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
EARLY in the twentieth century there is
likely in all the states in New England to
be an exec SIS OF males over females.

MIR. BRYAN SURE TO WIN.
Two Hundred and Forty Votes Safe
in Sight.
Congressman Jas. ID. Richardson Gives
His Estimates and Names the
states Democracy VIII Carry.

MURFREEsBoRo, Oct. 9.-Coneress-
man j. ID. Richardson returned from
Chicago this morning to start upon
canvass of his district. For two
months Mr.. Richardson has been in
charge of the newspaper work at
Democratic headquarters in Chica-
go, and is entirely conversant with
the entire field of conflict and the
outlook.
When questioned, Mr.. Richardson
freely expressed his opinion upon
the result of the campaign, stating
that Mr.. Bryan would carry the
South, excepting possibly Delaware,
thus obtaining 1866 votes; then, he
will carry, with absolute certainty,
every State west of the Mississippi,
unless it may be Iowa, about which
there may be some doubt, though
present information places Iowa in
the Bryan column. Not including
Iowa, these Western States will give
81 votes, which, added to the South
ern vote, makes 2l7 electoral votes,
or only Z of a majority.
If any one of the following States
is carried by the Democrats-to-wit,
Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Indiana, Illinois or Ohio--Mr.
Bryan will be elected, while McKin-
ley, to be elected, must carry all of
the States named. Mr.. Richardson
said Minnesota and Michigan are
almost as certain to be for Mr.. Bry-
an as Arkansas or Georgia. In these
two Northern States fusion is COM
plete, and this insures their votes.
In addition to the 240 votes thus
assured, Mr.. Richardson said he
considered Iowa, Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio as sure for Bryan, and a
careful analysis leads to the inevita-
BILE conclusion that Mr.. Bryan will
be elected.
In reply to inquiries concerning
the newspaper reports of friction be-
tween him and members of the COM
mittee, he said that "the statements
were wholly absurd, and there had
not been at any time any want of
absolute harmony and agreement at
headquarters all had complete CON
fidence in Chairman Jones, and he
was doing all that could be done in
the management of the campaign"
He also stated that though there
were no barrels on tap, there was
enough money for all legitimate
campaign expenses. Mr.. Richard
son has come home to talk to his
constituents and help the cause of
Democracy, and while sure Of eleo
tion, he deems it due to the people
of the district to give an account Of
his stewardship.

PRACTICAL FUSION WILL COME.
The Populist Ranks Denounce the Action
of Their Leaders.

The Populist Ranks DenOunce the Action
of Their Leaders.
The ranks of the Peoples Party in
Tennessee are in rebellion. From
all over the State the demand comes
that the fusion proposed by the
Democrats and rejected by Nc
Dowell and Buchanan, shall be
made. Nearly every day the papers
publish open letters from prominent
Populists in the State, declaring
their allegiance to free silver aud
their purpose to vote for Bryan and
Sewall electors.
The following very emphatic reso-
lutions, adopted last Saturday by the
Peoples Party of Davidson county,
in convention assembled, is sam
pie of what is going on
"ReSolUcd, that we indorse the action
of J. I. Miller, State elector at large,
and A. c. Dale, elector for the Sixth
Congressional District, for their patrj.
otic action in resigning from the Popu-
list electors and putting principle above
party.
"ReSolycd, second, that we denounce
the action Of J. p. Buchanan, Chairman.
and c. C.. Henderson, Secretary, for
using their official positions in urging
Populists to vote for Republican gold
bugs thus enabling the Republicans 20
carry the Tennessee Legislature, which.
in case of the death of Senators Harris
or Bate, would elect 'goldbug' to the
Senate, thereby losing control OF the
United States Senate, which we have
so long fought for.
"ReSOLged, third, that we denounee the
Hon. A. l.. Minis for letting his eHndi.
dacy for Governor be used as a mesns to
defeat fusion with the Democrats for
Bryan electors, thereby aiding MeKin-
ley to defeat Bryan.
"ReSOtUed, fourth, that we demand
that the Peoples Party Executive Com
mittee accept the four electors offered
by the Democrats or withdraw the. en-
tire Populist electoral ticket before
election, so as not to ieopardize the
State of Tennessee, turn il over Go the
'goldbugs,i Mckinley and Hobart
"ResOtUed, fifth, that the Peoples
party is willing to fight any party or
combinations of parties, but declines to
fight itself; therefore, we recommend 10
the Populists Of the State to vote Cor
those electors which will insure the
election of Mr.. Bryan in this State"

THERE are some fat, well fed, we'll
to-do wiseacres, who affect to laugh
when you talk about the unscrupu-
lousness and greed of the money
power. Here is what E. Benz. An
drews, President of Browns Uni
versity, of Providence, Rhode
Island, said in letter in the New
York World, which we republished
in our columns some time ago:
Never since slavery days has the
press in the parts of the country
familiar to me, displayed such dis
regard for truth, and such stubborn
obtuseness to the most obvious con-
siderations, as it does at present on
the silver question. This means
that the money power seated in
London, but with representatives, in
New York, philadelphia and Chica-
90, is determined to continue the
appreciation of gold, and deter
mined, therefore, shat the facts shall
not be known. The bankers and
the press are almost entirely under
its influence"

The Yale College boys formed a

denounced the action of some of
their fellow students in grossly dis
turbing Mr.. Bryan in his speech,
and, by resolution, rendered him an
apology for this disgraceful episode.

REMEMBER that you vote for cleo
tors and not for the President di-
rectly. Therefore William ]. Bry-
an does not get the benefit of a vote
cast for the Bryan and Watson cleo
tors, because these electors are inde-
pendent of the Bryan and Sewall
electors. 1t is admitted by all, both
Populists and Democrats, that the
Bryan and Sewall electors is the
only free silver ticket which has any
hopes of carrying this State. There
fore, if you have sincerely to heart the
success of Bryan and the free coinage
of silver, vote for the Bryan and
Sewall electors.

ARTHUR SEwALL's letter of
acceptance has the right ring about
it. He says the free and unlimited
coinage of silver is the only remedy
with which to check the wrongs of
to-day, and to undo the ruin of the
mast
