The question of marriage and divorce
rulings inevitably comes up at the tri-
ennial Episcopal General Convention
and as inevitably takes precedence in
the discussions. Indeed II makes one
of the chief points of difference be-
tween the High Church and Broad
Church branches of the Episcopal body,
and as the latter maintains a majority
the result of renewed consideration al
ways ends the same way, by a con-
tinued adherence 10 the existing canon
which provides that the innocent party
10 divorce for one specified ground
may marry again within the lifetime of
the former partner of joys and sorrows.
The canon forbids the solemnization OF
the marriage of a divorced person dur
ing the lifetime OF the divorced partner
when divorce is brought about for any
other reason than the one specified as
an exception. The proposed change
provides that there be no exception.
il makes the marriage tie indissoluble
except by death without regard to act
of civil law. IL is promoted by the
High Church party. which claims that
man has no right TO destroy sacra-
ment. which marriage is, and that re-
marriage during the life of divorced
partner lays the party So taking ad-
vantage OF civil law open to the charge
of the most grieyous sin under church
law. But of course, the whole church
does not hold the marriage ceremony as
one Of the sacraments. If there was
unity on that fundamental principle
there would be no difference of opinion
that nothing can dissolve a marriage
except death.

In view Of the dead certainty Of
row ahead a chief executive OF a great
state has but one duty to perform-to
stop the row. When help was asked
for from Virden, it should have made
no difference who asked for II To have
secured IT. 1t was no time for the gov
ernor of Illinois to stop TO write a let
ter telling what he would do for home
labor. 1t did not help matters TO bonn
bastically announce that the RESPONSE
bility OF the impending trouble would
lie with the mining managers. The
one fact of a row i'm prospect demanded
OF the state government that steps be
taken TO prevent it. And because the
governor of Illinois didn't see. or
wouldn't see, that he above all others
and beside any others is responsible for
the dreadful business. there has been
an awful day i'm Vrden and disgrace
has fallen upon the state. Now that the
row is over. the militia are ordered To
the scene. and we are Informed that
"quiet has been restored" And 1t fur
thermore appears that the strikers, the
men whom the governor of Illinois en-
couraged TO shoot and to kill and dis
turb the public peace, had rather the
worst of the days battle. 1t may be
mkind 10 suppose that the governor of
Illinois rather expected a contrary re-
suit when he refused to send aid to the
mines.

admitting that every force and factor
involved was blamsble. it will not be
easy even TO Judge which of them is
most guilty. But one thing does seem
very clear, and that is that the gov
ernor OF Illinois is responsible beyond
any and all others. since he. had the
power TO prevent the riot and nobody
else did have such power. The man
ayers of the mine appealed 10 the gov
ernor for aid. Very likely the object
of the managers was To secure the use
of troops 10 hold back the angry
strikers while imported miners to take
their place were run i'm. The governor
of Illinois conceived that that was the
intention, and he could see no farther
than that. He refused to send the
troops. on the ground that he would
not permit the state 10 be used as
party TO freeze out home labor and in
stall i'm its place the degraded labor
from southern mining gangs. All this
was very pretty. but the governor knew
that the imported laborers We're coming
in; that the strikers were fighting mad,
and that there would surely be riot
upon the meeting of the forces.

The decision as to marriage and di.
vorce. however, as well as other mat
ters OF somewhat radical difference of
opinion i'm the Episcopal Church to-
day, may not always rest with the
Broad church sentiment. Indeed. re-
cent signs indicate marked growth of
the High Church and ritualistic body.
the possibilities of which can hardly
be estimated. The marriage and di-
vorce question offers one OF the peren-
nial tests of strength. IL may he re-
called that the Pastoral letter of 1894
seemed almost an open condemnation
Of the Broad Churchmen. and was ac-
cepted in many quarters as bearing
authority. although Bishop Potter pro-
claimed that no Episcopalian need re-
gard II more seriously than i'm the light
of an united opinion OF individuals.
The letter was never concurred i'm by

nothing more It seems certain that IL
was sign of the growing strength of
ritualism. "A kind OF churchmanship of
the development OF which Phluns
Brooks stood in the way. Meantime II
would appear that in the specific CON
troversy over the divorce issue the posi.
tion Of the High Churchmen i
strengthened by the notorious fact that
marriages OF persons divorced FOR rea-
sons other than the one excepted cause
have not been visited by ecclesiastical
penalties. and this lodging OF the canon
may easily be changed to the fact Of
having law with an exception To it.
