4 STEP TOWARD DITORCE REFORM.

The decision of the United States Supreme
Court in certain divorce cases, announced on
Monday last is to be regarded with sincere sat
isfaction 4 step toward a much needed re-
form. 1t is to the effect that divorce legally
obtained in the State of which the parties con-
cerned are bona fide residents must be regarded
as valid in all the States, and that divorce
secured by any sort of huggermuggery in
State in which they have not legal residence Is
invalid. Those principles are, of course, in ex-
act accord with common sense and equity.
They are also in accord with the constitutional
provisions that full credit shall be given in each
State to the judicial proceedings of every other
State, and that the citizens of each State shall
be entitled to all privileges of citizens in the
several States.
There is, however nothing in the constitu
tion or in common sense and justice that
would enable a citizen and resident of one
State to enjoy therein privileges and immuni
ties not granted by that State, but granted by
some other State of which he is not a citizen
or resident. 1t is thing TO carry the
privileges and immunities of his own State into
others when he enters them as a visitor. 1t
would be very different thing to seek to bring
into his own State the privileges and immuni-
ties of an alien State The latter would be an
ntolerable thing 1t has more than once been
attempted In some the attempt may
have been condoned by default. But it is Il
cheering and encouraging thing to have the SUI
preme Court of the nation put its mark of dis
approval thereon.
Many years ago the evils of the "wld-cat
system of State bank currency. free from Fed
eral control and supervision. We're clearly DEM
onstrated. when every man had to consult
table to ascertain how much a dollar bill issued
in one state was worth in some other State.
Surely the matrimonial relationship ought to
be considered precious rs the currency. 1t
ought not TO be necessary for men and women
10 consult n table TO ascertain in which States
they are married and in which States they are
divorced Whether or not the whole business
of divorce should be relegated 70 Federal legs-
lation and the Federal courts is open ques-
ton. But there can he no possible question of
the urgent need OF making the marriage and
divorce procedure Of evecy State such that it
will deserve and command full faith and credit
in every other State.

UNDOING THE MISCHIEF.

The charter amendments introduced In both
branches OF the legislature yesterday are salts
factory so far as they go. but they do not go far
enough. The three changes in the work Of the
revision commission which have been most gen.
orally and Justly condemned are those which
would distribute 100000 among eight news
papers In the boroughs Of Queens. Richmond
and The Bronx, give Brooklyn an excessive
supply of police magistrates. to be elected
instead OF appointed, and permit public money
70 be allotted to private schools at the discretion
OF the Board Of Education There are several
others which seem TO be needless. or worse. but
the contest has been chiefly made over these
three and it would be difficult to say which Of
them i. most Objectionable. The amendments
proposed yesterday relate TO the first and third
and would be effectual to prevent the evils COM
plained Of but the city magistrates job still
clings TO the charter, and the common predic
ton is that ii will not be shaken off. We much
prefer 10 believe that the influences which have
brought about the excision OF other mischievous
provisions will avail TO get rid Of this one Also
and that the revised charter as finally passed
will be able TO stand the closest scrutiny.
1t should he evident to the majority respon
eible for this years legislation that nothing less
than convincing proofs OF a determination on
their part to remove before adjournment all
reasonable causes of complaint in respect to the
charter will counteract the disagreeable impres
sion which their original method OF dealing with
IL created Much of the denuncaticn which has
been so eagerly uttered has been insincere. and
not little Of IL has been absurdly rancorous
but II cannot be denied that some Of the things
done 10 the revision can be excused only on the
ground that their nature and effect were not
couprehended. We have no doubt that many
Republican members can honestly plead that
excuse, but they can hardly suppose that such
haste and carelessness in the treatment Of an
act affecting nearly half the population of the
State would have been overlooked or readily
forgiven in the coming campaign and at the
polls. Fortunately the public, without regard to
party. was more watchful than the legislature
and put in its vigorous protest in time to pre-
vent the threatened evil. II the opportunity so
afforded is suitably employed little harm will
result from an awkward illustration OF the ease
with which few plausible individuals can
sometimes mislead a majority OF well meaning
men. But the work of purifying the charter
must be thorough II will not do to offer three
or four changes OF the right sort as a proof
OF good faith while a single notoriously bad
feature is deliberately retained.

TO BRING BISHOP CLARK TO TRIAL.
PURPOSE OF THOSE WHO TOOK PART IN
SERVICES WHICH HE DECLARED
VIOLATED THE RUBRICS.

Milwaukee, April IL (SpeciaD.-The purpose Of
the seven Anglican bishops who took part in the
Foud du Lac conservation ceremony Is to have
the House of Bishops deal with its presiding om-
Ger for his action in referring to certain parts
of that ceremony as a violation Of the rubrics.
Not the bishops who appeared in cope ana
mitre, they say. but Bishop Clark. of Rhode
Island will be brought to trial. If the purpose
of their Joint protest is accomplished. state
ment made to-day in behalf Of Bishop Mich
olson and the others. who assisted Bishop Graf
ton at Fond du Lac, to the effect that their let
ter of protest had been in some quarters mis-
construed 1t was intended first Of all to bring
before the House of Bishops the charge that
the Presiding Bishop. In his official communica-
ton published in The Churchman' last De-
cember, arrogated to himself metropoticai
powers.
If incidentally the House of Bishops takes up
the question of the alleged violation of rubrics
and use of unauthorized vestments at Fond du
Lac the seven prelates will welcome hearing
before that body. but stress is laid on the point
that the great question to be considered by the
General Convention at it's meeting next autumn
is the one of authority. For the purpose OF maxi
ing certain a review of the whole subject by the
highest body of the Church. to the letter issued
by the seven bishops under date of April was
given the character of an official document by
formally addressing 1t to Bishop Clark as Pre-
siding Bishop.
The seven bishops had been considering plan
of action for several months. and they held sew
eral secret conferences for the purpose of decid
ing on the best means of securing such action
as would put an authoritative seal. either of ap
prova or disapproval, on the Presiding Bishops
action and their conduct at Fond du Lac.
They have been greatly annoyed by the COM
ments that have been made upon the extreme
rftualism of that conservation. and willing
that the General Convention should deal squarely
with the question Of various practices that have
been introduced in the High Church doceses.
According 10 the canons and the rules all Off
cial documents received by the Presiding Bishop
must be presented by him to the House of Bish-
ops at its next session for review.
In that way the protest really Is made to the
House of Bishops. and is sufficient of itself TO
demand an investigation. The point 10 be de-
termined is whether not the bishops stand
upon a plane of official equality. and the i'm
portance Of this question is claimed to be equal
To those before the celebrated convocatons of
Canterbury and York, held in 1884, when the
resolution was adopted holding that the Pope
has not any greater jurisdiction in England than
any other foreign bishop. A ruling upholding
Bishop Clark. IL is asserted. will virtually re-
suit in setting aside the action taken in 1884 and
vest in Bishop Clark superior power equal unto
that exercised by the Pope in the Roman
Church.

CITIZENS ryION.s OPPORTUNITY


The convention which the Citizens Union will
hold tomorrow evening may prove Of vital
importance 10 the city; it is sure to be- one way
or apother, Of vital importance to the Citizens
Union organization. In other words. if II is
possible for the independent organization so to
order its deeds and purposes as TO become the
unffying force among the many anti-Tammany
organizations now in existence in this city 1t
viii amply vndcate it's right of permanent
existence. and at the same time perform a
municipal service of great value. If. on the
other hand. it finds itself unable TO perform any
such function. and seeks rather to proceed as
an entity separate and apart, it must give up
any claim TO broad leadership and influence. and
at best take its place merely as one Of the
organizations planning. each In its sphere
TO take part in the mayoralty campaign. This.
we fancy. is not the place which the friends and
supporters Of the union desire it to occupy.
Now, II the former course is to be pursued it
is important for the leaders Of the union to
realize that the way to unity is to unity. Such
course could not be begun by furnishing fresh
opportunity for dscord-in a radical. Ill con-
sidered platform for instance. 1t could be
begun. on the other hand, by means of a wise
and conservative selection of the proposed COM
mttee OF seventy, so that ii would include repre-
sentatives OF all the various elements interested.

SPORTS WITHOUT BLENISH.

The men in authority in a number of Ameri-
can universities and colleges are doing excellent
work in raising the standards Of undergraduate
athletics this year. They are searching for all
doubtful and unpleasant things and with dis
cretion are getting rid Of broken reeds and
unwholesome weeds, which are out Of place in
college sports. 1t is generally admitted that
American students In number of institutions,
in their intense desire TO win victories, have
sometimes been too careless in the makeup Of the
organizations which they send out to gain honors
for their alma matters. In several instances in
past years the strict rules which should govern
the choice Of their representatives have been
somewhat relaxed and the craze for college
glores has gone so far that young fellows who
were not fairly entitled to the honor were picked
out TO carry the colors of well known homes Of
culture The feeling that college sports should
at no time be degraded by suspicion of profes-
sionalism or thickness has gained ground in
recent seasons. and is now stronger than ever.
1t is noble sentiment. and il should be sup
ported nrcservedy on every hand. College
games above ali others should be so honorable
and straightforward that no blot should rest
