The agitation of the marriage Qucs-
tion growing out of the increased num-
Der of divorces has brought out from
Bishop Potter of the EpiScopalian diocese
of New York several statements of the
problem, in which he takes the position
that the mere prohibition of remarriage
does not exhaust the duty of the
church. The bishop insists that the
church should be the protector of the
family. and that in order to protect the
family it must begin before marriage,
by surrounding with greater safeguards
the entrance into the welded state
A great deal of married unhappiness
eliminating in divorces and in the
breaking up of family life is, no doubt,
due to vicious legislation, which has not
only made separation easy, but promoted
divorce for the sake OF remarriage. Leg
islatorS enact laws only for the interests
of the entire public and society in gen
eral, while the church can enter into the
peculiar conditions of each individual
family. If Bishop Potter's suggestion
should lead to the exercise of greater
care before the church will sanction mar
rage within its doors, the assurance Of
contented families and happy homes
would certainly be increased and the
danger of divorce correspondingly les.
Sened.
The subject is q wide one, deserving
the best thought of all interested in
healthy social conditions, and the
churches cannot do better than to grap-
pie with it and devise the remedies for
existing abuses.

Every republican convention which
has met this year has endorsed the
policy of the administration in the Phil
ippines. Whatever differences exist
among republicans as to what should be
done with these islands after they are
paci8ed, all agree the first thing TO do
is to suppress the insurrection. The
popocrats are plainly little previous in
trying TO force Philippine independence
as political issue in the hope Of Great
ing republican defecions.

PARLIAMENT SUMMONED.

The summoning of Parliament by royal
proclamation. to meet ten days hence,
and the calling out of the reserves, are
the strongest Indications yet given of the
intention of the British government to
so to war If the terms submitted to the
TranSvaal republic are rejected The
summoning of Parliament is for the pur-
pose of supplying the government with
the money necessary TO prosecute war.
The British eXcheQuer has, we believe,
no surplus and consequently it will be
necessary to levy more taxes or borrow
money in order to provide the "sinews
of war" The ministry has no authority
III this respect. The calling out of the
reserves, which are TO be recruited to
their full strength. would seem to con-
clusively show that the British govern
ment regards war as inevitable, that it
does not expect its latest proposals to
be accepted by the Boer government and
does not intend to parley any further
On the part Of the Beers three appears
to he no disposition to in the least recede
from their position and they are not
likely to be affected by the latest evil
dence of British intention, unless it be
in deciding to strike the first blow before
the forces arrayed against them are
increased. 1t will not be surprising if
they do this, for there is every reason
to believe it would result to their imme-
dtate advantage and this might be of
great Importance.
Meanwhile there are reports of bad
treatment of refugees by the Beers, but
these should be received with n good
deal of allowance. The Boer govern
ment, at all events, cannot fairly be
held responsible for the brutality of
some of its people.

FREE PASS DISCRIMINATION.

In his testimony before the Industrial
commission Chairman Knapp of the lu-
terstate Commerce commission made
the statement that one of the worst
phases of railway discrimination is in
the granting of free passes. This is
undoubtedly the case. This method of
contravening the interstate commerce
act has been in constant practice since
the law was enacted and is probably
carried on to n larger extent now than
ever before. In former years only the
larger shippers were favored with this
form of discrimination, but it has grad
ually grown until now it embraces small
as well as large shlppers-merchants
who pay a few hundred dollars annually
to the railroads as well as those who
pay thousands.
The Interstate commerce act permits
railroads to give free carriage to their
own officers and employees and to cX-
change passes or tickets with other rail
road companies for their officers and EN-
ployes, but 1t Is distinct violation of
the law TO give free carriage to others
than those specified. 1t has been an
nounced that the railroads contemplate
putting Il stop 10 this iufraction of the
law and they should do so, but it may
be doubted whether they will, however
apparently earnest their promise TO do so
may be and notwithstanding the fact
that an abandonment of the free pass
discrimination would add materially to
their aggregate revenue.

Yellow fever reports show that the

rUads since the introduction of Ameri-

Philadelnhin Ledger.

That was a peculiarly graceful compi.
ment which President Mckinley paid Ad-
miral Dewey by taking him in his own car
riage in the procession and announcing be-
forehand that he would not acknowledge
any Of the salutes received along the route
but would let the admiral take all the
honors. The act did not detract from the
dignity of the president, while 1t honored
the admiral above all other men, for no
other man has been given under like circum-
stances by president of the United States
a position superior to his own.

At Gothenburg, Sweden. was unveiled
monument to man whose genius can
fairly be said to have created the mod
ern navies of the world. While Sweden
claims him by right Of birth it was in
the United States that John Ericsson
wrought out his greatest work and here
he ended his career. His body was re-
turned to his native land in an Ameri-
can war ship, the visit being the occa
sion of impressive ceremonies. While
John Ericsson's Monitor was but a crude
affair compared with the modern ar
mored leviathans of the deep the latter
are largely the elaboration Of the prin-
ciple which the original turret ship con-
tanned. The Monitor was by no means
the only valuable creation of his great
mind but it is from this that his chief
reputation was gained. The arts of
peace are no less indebted to his genius.
