nIXORCE STATISTICS.

In an article printed IN these columns
on Sunday last on the subject Of divorce.
we took occasion 10 say that the question
did not give the people Of the South
much concern for the simple reason that
divorces in this section arc few and FAR
between. but that it was a subject which
necessarily engrossed the attention Of the
people OF the North and West because Of
the alarming increase IN the number Of
divorces asked for in those sections.
This statement is slngularly emphasized
by some figures which are printed in the
New York Herald Of Sunday. The Herald
shows that in twenty-four cities Of the
United States in the year 1897 sAi d.
vorces we're asked for and 66os were
granted For the first nine months OF the
year 1893 the number Of divorces asked
FOR in these same cities was 6,73i and
the number granted 31SL in Chicago,
during the present year applications for
divorce in 200 cases have been made; in
Boston. 353; in Washington $50; in
Omaha. Neb $50: in San Francisco. 473; in
Denver lflNNs lll i tiAltAN itilfif F-f III
Cleveland, o.. l92, i'm Cincinnati, 50l.
Only two Southern cities are reported.
one Of these is Mobile, Ala. in which
the number of divorces asked for this
year is reported as So, with the quail
fcation that most OF these suits were
filed by coored persons. Charleston re-
ports that there is no divorce law in
South Carolina. not even the usual statu-
tory grounds being recognized.
We are sorry that there were not more
reports from Southern cities. for we are
quite sure that tho same favorable ex-
hbit would he made as is made from
Mobile ard Charleston Divorce is not
popular in the South, and God grant that
IL may never be.
