AGNOSTIC MARRIAGES.

II is not at all improbable that the
example set by Prof. Heron and Miss
Rand will find numerous imitators.
They commenced living together with
a declaration that neither would oppose
separation, whenever one Of the parties
should become opposed TO the union.
And this seems TO have been the special
feature Of the so.called marriage, that
appears quite charming TO not few
Now the papers tell about "agnostic"
marriages IN different parts OF the
country. In Cincinnati, according 20
reports agnostlcs have formed a So
cicy with a ritual for agnostlc mar
rage ceremonies, for the dedication Of
inianta TO agnosticlsm and the con-
hrmation Of chIldren in "the belief Of
the non-existence Of God" A Cncin.
natl lawyer Is said to be the leading
spirit IN this movement.

Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio has
declared himself in favor of third
term for President Mckinley. 1T is
to be presumed, and certainly to be
hoped, that he speaks for himself and
not for another A quarter of CEN
fury has passed since the friends and
admirers of Gen. Grant undertook to
run him for q third time and failed.
The sentiment OF the American people
Is against third term for President
for any man. But Gen. Grosyenor's
advocacy is offensive in the extreme
He attempts to belittle Washlngtons
refusal OF a third term, saying he de-
clined the nomination because he knew

Guard AGAINST MICROBES.

Tuberculosis Ia now included among
the diseases that bar immigrants from
coming into this country Instructions
have been issued to the commissioner
~ immigration at the port Of New
York that the disease Is to be regarded
as dangerous and contagious. Hither-
10 many persons known to suffer from
mat trouble have been admitted, but
now they viii be returned even II the
disease has not reached an advanced
stage. That means closer inspection
Of all immigrants,
The measure Is just. There Is no
doubt among the authorities that con-
sumption Is contagious under certain
conditions. And there should be no
question Of the right Of the nation to
protect Itself, as far as practicable
against the further spread Of a deadly
disease. The country should be open
to home-seekers, and to the oppressed
OF all nations, but persons suffering
from consumption are not properly
qualified for the work Of breaking new
ground or building up a country They
need care IN congenial climates and
isolation hospitals.
Another disease that needs special at
tention Is leprosy. Recently an investi-
CATION has been undertaken which dis
closes the fact that there Is in this
country, In all probability, about one
thousand persons suffering from that
most terrible malady. 1t hE been
found that the state of Louisiana has
"A, Minnesota 2s North Dakota u.s.
South Dakota 2, Chicago 5, and New
York G. Nearly all Of these cases are
said to be among people Of foreign
birth The Louisiana cases arise
chiefly among foreigners. The number
OF cases IN Louisiana is Increasing
Minnesota's and the Dakota's are in re-
mote country districts, and every one
OF them 70 thoughtto be OF foreign orr
gin.
Congress Il is thought, will be asked
to take some measure for the proven
ton Of the further spread Of this dis
ease Two large leper hospitals will be
asked for, one In the North and one
in the South
With all precautions II is not prob
able that the country can be closed
against all the infectious diseases that
are bred in the contaminated atmos-
phere Of some parts of the globe, nor
be freed from all the Affections that
have come and gained a foothold, As
long as International communication
must exist, one nation must share
with Others the evils that are the COM
mon lot Of mankind, as well as the
benefits Of such communication. The
warfare against disease should be unit
ed All civilized nations should en-
list IN Il. II is war in which the
concert OF the powers should be more
effective than It has been In China,
Only so can success be achieved.
How disease is communicated Is IL
Illustrated In the recent spread of small
pox throughout the country Some
cases were traced, It Is claimed, to the
use Of old army tents from the Philip
pines, sold TO people here, other
cases were traced to souvenirs and
personal articles sent home from SOL
diers II these statements are based
on facts, It is evident that the watch
men against disease germs must be
on the alert all the time, Not only
must the strictest rules be applied to
Immigrants, but TO every branch of
international communication.
