A WAR OF T.RIrEs.

The sensation makers are trying to ere
ate the impression that Russia's action
in putting the highest duties on American
factory products is the beginning of q
tariff war by the countries of Europe
against the United States. 1t lis doubtful
if there is any understanding between
European countries in regard to retaiia-
tory tariffs on American goods, though It
would not be surprising If there should
BE, because every one of them feels that
the American protective system is uu-
just. They are willing to open their mar
kets to us and they think we should be
willing TO open our markets to them. II
there should be a war of tariffs the re-
taliatory duties would be laid only on
manufactured products, because Europe
wants our raw materials to reach her
factories at as low prices as possible.
We called attention sometime ago TO the
very rapid increase in the volume or our
exports of manufactured products.
The increase is alarming to Europeans. Ii
the increase should continue at the same
rate for any great length of time we
markets. Besides. where are Europeans
to get the money with which TO pay for
what they set from us? They are bound
TO take our food products, because they
lave not enough of their own, but they
think they ought to supply their own mar
kets with manufactured products. and
also TO have share of our markets
for such products so as IN he ahle to
purchase food products from us.
1t would not be surprising if they
should adopt retaliatory tariffs, but there
is no reason for thinking that Russia's
action is the beginning of a tariff war
that is to be participated in by other Eu-
ropean nations. Russia undoubtedly act
ed in her own responsibility and judg,
ment Her action however, may influ-
eEce other nations to follow her example

Dumont constructed his balloon espe-

start, though he had reached the start
ing point within the prescribed 30
minutes, as a poor piece OF business.

Last Thursday a negroes fair was

cock made an address IN which he urged
the negroes 20 build up society among

welt dining Booker r. Washington and
said to the negroes thai their best

them, and the secular view, that mar
rage Is q civil contract which may be
dissolved for cause by court of COM
petent jurisdiction. OF course, as
churchman. he held TO the religious
aspect OF the case and, therefore, en-
tertained very strict ideas on the sub
ject Of divorce. However. he did not
advocate the denial Of remarriage to
the innocent party, when divorce was
granted for the offense mentioned by
our Savior as justification for the
ic matters could be established.
The bishop stated that It would be
{. wise thing to affiliate with all Chris
tian people who take the view that
marriage IS a hoy relation, and who
may be 50 disposed, Ito use their in
fuence with their states to secure the
enactment Of law on marriage ana
divorce which would be Uniform Ia AL
states We concur In this sentiment.
We are Of the opinion that an at
tempt to change The Constitution OF The
United States so as TO place the regu-
lation of marriage and divorce In The
national government, would fail of itl
purpose There Is very strong OBJ
lection on the part OF many OF the
states Of the union to the taking away
of the right TO manase and legislate
ipon their own domestic relations,
which Is one OF the reserved rights that
they hold 10 Win jealousy. II, there

TO enact similar laws in relation to this
matter many OF the evils that now
exist could be corrected and divorce
as well as marriage IN one state would
he fully recognized IN ali the othe
tates, and common understanding
and practice as TO these important pub
&c matters could be established.
In considering the causes for divorce
which should be deemed sufficient, we
think The clergy Of the leading churches
in Christendom have entertained an In
correct idea Of the teachings of the
Savior on this subject His denuncia-
ton Of man who would put away his
Wife except for one cause, was intend
ed, evidently, TO abolish the old custom
under the Mosaic law which justified a
man In giving a bill Of enforcement to
a wife for trivial causes, His brief re-
marks did not cover the ground Of rea-
sons why woman, III treated, unpro-
yided for, or whose feelings and affec-
lions were utterly alienated from her
spouse through his vile conduct. should
not be justified In obtaining a complete
separation and a dissolution Of the
marriage contract.
As the learned divine admitted in his
discourse, the clergy of the Episcopal
Church, as well as ministers Of other
churches, are divided In their opinions
concerning the exact translation and
meaning of the scripture texts that
touch on this subject, II Is a pity that
they have nothing else to rely upon
than the interpretations which may be
placed upon the dead letter Of the writ

tion is Of inestimable value, and would |
make clear all the disputed points II 1t |

RUSSIA IN MANCHuRiA.

China dispatches state that Ii Hung
Chang is seriously Ill., and the cause
assigned Is that the empress dowager
has notified him of her resolution TO re-
nounce the Manchurian convention.
which he has been negotiating with
Russia. That is singular Diplomatic
defeats do not generally induce hemor-
rhages, though they may cause chagrin,
For some time II has been rumored
that China and Russia had concluded
q second treaty relating TO Manchuria,
and at 81. Petersburg 1t was said that
the new convention could not be object
ed to by the European powers. 1t
seems. however, that many Of the Chin
csc ylceroys opposed II, and that the
empress finally sided with them and
concluded to reject IT, The effect OF
this will simply be that Russia will
continue to occupy Manchura without
treaty.
BY the first convention Russia was to
exercise proteetorate over the Chin
csc province, similar to that Of Great
Britain over Egypt All the forts were
TO be dismanted. except such as Rus
STA would choose 10 maintain, and a
Russian was to be virtual governor. No
concessions Of any kind were to be
granted except after consultation with
the Russian government This was a
plain declaration of Russian intention
to keep the province permanently. The
powers, however objected on the
ground that the negotiations had been
conducted in violation Of a previous
agreement between the powers inter-
ested in China. and the government of
the latter country refused TO sign the
treaty
Then negotiations were opened again
The agreement reached Is said to con-
tain substantially the same points en-
bodied In the first treaty. and that Ii no
doubt correct. II is the absorption Of
the province that Russia desires, and
the purpose win surely be accomplished
with or without treaty. since China cam
not defend herself against the invasion,
and no other power is likely to under
take that task for her. Russia, of
course. declares her intention to with
draw as quickly as possible" but as
long as she has railways there to look
after and other interests to maintain.
the possibility Of withdrawal will not
appear.
To the rest Of the world the occupa-
ton means the exemption of Manchur-
la from the open-door policy In CHM.
That seems to be understood. And
when one part Of China is closed. others
viii be, and gradually the fruits of the
expensive campaign In China Will be
lost to most Of the participants.
