We may be old fogy. hut We do not be-
lieve in the marriage for convenience.
and We do not believe In the marriage
for convenience where preachers are con-
cerned any more than where others are
concernsd. We believe In the old-fash-8
toned love matches. We believe that
there can be no happy and successful
marriages without sincere love on both
sides and plenty OF it, just as we believe.
that all marriag es without love are dis
nal failures, nc matter how brilliant
they may sem to the society editor.
AN OFFENCE TO The SOUTH.
Mr.. Cleveland might have been"
a little more particular In his use of
words IN the speech which he made be-
fore the New York Chamber of Com
merce day before yesterday. In sayins
when the government was threatened
by armed rebellion. he used an expires
sion that was boyh inaccurate and Of
fensve. The South was not in rebellion
against the government The Confede-
rate States exercised their right as
sovereign States to quit the Union and
set up a government Of their own They
did not threaten the United Safes Gov
ernnent- They did not propose to make
war upon the United States Government
nor to storm Tie capital at Washington.
They proposed to set UP a government
cor themselves. as they had the consu-s
tuional right to do and thsy armed
themselves and fought because the
troops Of the United States Government,
unlawrully and maliciously invaded their
territory. Thsre was no rebellion about
It, and Mr. Cleveland knows it.
