Modified MormOniSm.

| Albany Argus.
Some recent divorces have excited
anew discussion upon the apparently
growing evils of easy divorce, and sub
sequent remarriage.
| The clergy of all denominations are
speaking out in no uncertain terms
Bishop Doape, of Albany, hsssemphati
cally expressed his opiaion of q recent
case. Cardinal Gibbons asks: SIS moi
| the law of divorce virtual federation
of Mormonism in modified form:
Mormonism consists in simultaneous
polygamy, while the law of divorce
practically leads to successive polyg-
amy"
Figures are published which seem to
indicate that the percentage of divor-
ces is increasing faster than the per-
centage of population; faster than the
list of marriages.; and Cardinal Glib
bons cites figures which show that in
1867 there were in the United States
9,937 divorces, while in 1886 there
were 25. 535. with a probability of a
gradually increasing percentage ever
since.
There has been a multiplication of
causes or pretexts on which divorces
may be grantnd, until now, if the W est
ern states be included, there are %
causes, many of them Of trivial charac-
ter, which may be deemed sufficient for
man to put asunder whom God hath
Joined. The laws of the state of New
York are among the best in the union;
but the salutary effect of our laws is
greatly diminished by the fact that
New Workers go to other states and
procure divorces, for little or no cause,
then contract other marriages and re-
turn to this state to reside. Divorces
obtained in this state for adultery auth
orize only the aggrieved party to con-
tract another marriage; but the offend
ing party goes to some other state and
the correspondent.
Cardinal Gibbons characterizes
these conditions as social plague. for
which he sees no remedy but the aboli-
ton of mischievous divorce legisla-
ton, and an honest application of the
teachings of the gospel. President
Patton, of Princeton university, de-
clares that 1.-THE various grounds for
1ivorce, taken in connection with the
facility with which divorces are grant
I'D in various states in the union, are
gradually leading to system of
egalized concupiscence, and this con-
1ition of affairs is disgrace to our
Christian civilization
The preservation OF the sanctity of
.he home, and of the marriage relation,
IS consideration paramount to any
other essential to the perpetuity of the |
American republic. The divorce evil
las reached a stage where the plainest |
Of plain speaking seems to be fully JUS
flied.

THE great industrial combination

THE great industrial combinations
known as trusts will be their own NJ
doing. Their stock is watered to such
an unconscionsble extent that it will be
impossible to keep dividends paid up on
all of 1t. Some day, not far off, there
will come q crash, and the bottom will
fall out of the "trust problem" in jif-
fly. No good can be gained by trying
to make the matter a partisan issue
There is no difference of opinion among
reasonable men as to the vicious
character of these great combin atoms,
and it is useless to repeat the foolish
charge that the republican party is in
any way responsible for the recent ex-
traordinsry ssmultiplication of their
number. The problem is one calling
for study and careful legislation along
conservative lines. The trusts will
kill thems elves in time. Partisan ran
cor and abuse will not better conditions
one whit,

BEFORE man months the public
library will be moved into its new
quarters in the city hall. Every effort
should be made to increase the library
to size commensurate with the i'm
portance of the enterprise by the time
the move is made. Every bit of mon
ey contributed to the library goes to
increase it, and no better investment
could be made by public spirited citi-
zens. Let verybody give the library
one good, book. That will she good
starter. 1t is desired that the whole
people take an interest in maintaining
and increasing the library. The
small annual dues are only nominal,
and they con stitute virtually the only
means by which the library is main
tanned and increased.

In Connecticut q man was killed by
train. A suit WAS brought by the
mans heirs, and Judge Robinson OF
the superior court awarded the plain
tiffs ten dollars damages, in full for
the loss of the mans life. Most rail-
roads would be quite willing to settle
out of court on such a basis, and if the
case is, regarded as a. fair precedent
elsewhere in the union the num-
Der of damage suits will be consider
ably decreased.

THE insurgents in the island of Ne
gros who assassinated Capt. lilly and
mutilsted his body in a fiendish way
turn out to be members of an organized
band of robbers instead of 'petriots"
fighting for their country against for
eign invaders, as the anti-expansionists
are so fond of telling US. 1t is not just
clear why these brigands should be al
lowed to shoot down our soldiers with
impunity. And yet some people say
we ought to throw down our arms and
run away instead of hitting back.

THE attempt of Joe Bailey to make 1t
appear that the friendly sentiment ex-
pressed by the president toward the
south, and participated in by most oil
the newspapers and many public men,
is purely selfish and part of a scheme
to get votes for the republican party
in 19O0,is quite worthy OF Joe Bailey
and it is hardly necessary to say that
it is quite unworthy OF man of any
sense or honest impulses.

To See the Show.

A large number of our peooIe
went to Crowley last night to sec
the circus. The circus didn't come
here on account of the nigh licen Sc.
The Gazette thinks the show license
is too high. All the boys and girls
like circuses and all the men and
women who used to be bows and
girls, and on their behalf-and ours
too-we appeal to the local law
makers not to be SO devilish hard
on the show people. We all like to
see the elephant and hear the cal
hope and take look at the
bearded woman, the pretty horses,
the wild man from SuIu, the pink
lemonade, the peanut boy, and the
show women even if they are
painted and look tough. Come
down with your l1cease, gentlemen,
and don't try to keep away all the
shows with a sort or Chinese wal;
around the town.

A Sad Accident.

VIM. SOnnier whose arm was am
Putated after being very badly
mutilate ted in the gin at the com
press, is doing well and is RAPIDLY
regaining his strength. Mr.. Son
nier's arm was caught among the
teeth of the gin and before it was
possible to relieve him several
pieces of the machine had to be
taken apart. Mr.. VOORHEES,, en-
gineer of the Peoples Cotton Oil
Mills, was sent for. AS he was
familiar with the construction of the
machinery he succeeded in taking
1t to pieces in about one hour,
during which time Mr.. Sonnier was
compelled to go through an ex-
ceedingly painful ordeal. Drs. 7. ID.
and A. r. Trahan and Fl.
Mouton were called and they de-
cided to amputate the mans arm.
Mr.. Sonnier is hard working
man and the accident, causing the
loss Of an arm, is indeed a terrible
blow to him. Mr.. Corona, the
m anager, has extended 10 him all
the assistance that it was possible to
give and will give him employment
to his manned condition.

When Captain Trask arrives at Ma
Mia with the transport Aztec he will
probably receive orders to return to
Honolulu instead of to San Francisco.
as has been the rule heretofore. The
Government is reported to have deCid-
ed to adopt the new plan of keeping
two steamers for horses and mules ply
ing constantly between here and Ma
Mia and two between here and the
Coast. The Aztec is believed to be
one of those selected for the Manila
end of the journey. The Leelanaw and
Centennial are to run between here and
san Francisco and one other steamer
will keep the Aztec company.
The object of the new arrangement
is to give the horses a rest on land
here, in the middle of their long voy-
age, without having a steamer lying
idle i'm port, while the horses recuper-
ate. Uncle Sam is paying very high
for his transports and the daily bills
for them pile up just the same whether
they are Fastening across the sea or
lying idle at a wharf. The expense of
simply the charter price of a vessel
like the Aztec amounts to over $4,000
in the time it takes for the horses to
get into condition for another start.
Under the new arrangement the
transports that run between here and
San Francisco will land their animals
here and go back for more. The re-
suit will be a large stock of horses and
mules on hand here all the time, from
| which the Aztec and her companion
may draw. The animals may then
! have weeks ashore, instead of days
as the San Francisco transports will
get ahead of the other two.
