DIVORCE AND RE-MARRIAGE.
A Subject to be Considered by Prot
estant Episcopal Convention.


estant Episcopal Convention.
San Francisco. Cal. The attitude OF
the. Protestant Episcopal church in
America toward divorce and the re-
marriage Ct divorced persons is sure
10 sivs rise to much debate during
the present general convention.
A majority report prepared by some
Of the most learned bishops, clerical
and lay deputies, will come mp for
action, recommending that the church
adopt Cannon IA, preventing min
ister Of the church from "solemn-
izine . marriage between any two
versons unless or until by inquiry he
vill have satisfied himself that neith-
m person has been the husband OF
wife Of another person then living. "
This 10 q sweeping law, not recog-
ufzing even infidelity as cause for
divorce, and not permitting Episco-
pal clergymen to solemnize the mar
riase of an innocent party in . d.
vorce. The action taken BY the
"riRorists, as those taking this ex-
IRENE stand are called. 10 based on
| the ground that the church IL called
apon to register its protest against
the laxity on the subject Of divorce
that prevails in the United States. Al
stated by one Of the signers Of the
report. There seems now . way In
which the church can avoid complici-
" in divorces Of the most scandaious
character except in % far - It may
refuse to assume any color Of respon-
sibility for any divorce BY forbiddina

One Of the dilsmmas In which the
shursh Legislators dad themselves,

must put the ban On ell d.

distinction - "thers II no judicial

Therefore, they argue they mus
forbid the clergy from performing
the ceremony or marriage Of any di

The Kings Finger Bowl.

When a member Of the royal family
comes to dinner, it is point Of ETH
quette to provide none but the illustri-
GUS guest with a finger bowl at the end
Of the banquet. The other diners must
get on somehow without that conven-
fence.
The reason is a curious one. In early
Georgian days one never knew who
was loyal. Every other man might be
a Jacobite in his secret heart. Now, it
was piece Of Jacobite ritual whenev-
er the toast Of 1.-THE King" was drunk
secretly to pass the goblet over any
water that happened to be by the
drinker. This was supposed to con-
vert the toast into that Of '"The King
Over the Water" the exiled Stuart at
Rome or st. Germans.
On this becoming known the court
insisted that there should be no water
within reach Of any guest, and the pro-
hibition still holds.-London News.

develop them and the excitement in

be material reduction in the price

hardly probable. Perhaps this is an

OUR TARIFF AND IT'S REVISION.

OON lARIEF AND lis RENaSAONu
It is likely that the best course the
United Safes could pursue would be
to take up at an early date thorough
revision of the existing tariff with a
view to cutting out of it all needless
ly little rates of duty, and making it
as little obstructive of foreign com.
MERGE as circumstances will permit
It is plain enough that the time has
come when many schedules, like that
Of iron and steel, for instance, could
be sweepingly revised. There will
be much less danger of attempts at
European exclusion of American
wares if we proceed to pull down
some of the barriers the need of which
we have outgrown. For example,
with the American Tin Plate Com
pany now an integal part of an iron
and steel corporation capitalized at
almost billion and half dollars,
there is no longer any need to fear
the competition of European tin plate.
The only point to be considered is
that of the maintenance of the Amer
lean scale of wages. Nor is there
any longer much reason for dealing
with the tariff as party question.
According to the sounder theory of
American protectionists, the high
tariff was to be justified as a temper
ary means to an assured end. Ger
tainly, that end has now been to a.
great extent, at least, accomplished;
and this country has reached, rela-
i've to other countries, position of |
1ia b and mature industrial develop |
nent. Even admitting that under
existing ten or twenty
7ears ago there was close relation be-
ween the tariff system and the rate
If wages, it would not follow Of ne
essity that under the different con-
litions now existing the average
tandard of wages in the United
states would be much affected by
apid change from a protective to a
ev9nue tariff. The old-time theoreti-
al arguments of the protectionists
nd free traders may all be safely
egIected, in the working out of a
ariff-revision adapted to the new
poch.-From ''The Progress Of the
Vorld," in the American Monthly
seview of Reviews for May.
