MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

There was an interesting discussion
Of the question OF divorce and mar
riage at the meeting Of the Archdea-
conry OF Wilmington yesterday and q
very learned and exhaustive paper by
Hon. T.. C. Bradford was Of particular
interest. The duty Of the church to
insist on a reform in the matter viii
be readily admitted. Already thC
Episcopal Church is far I'm advance O.
the other Protestant bodies IN insist
ing on a rather rigid adherence to
Biblical authority on this subject. but
1t is now proposed TO amend the canon
80 that the remarriage Of divorced
persons during the life of either party
shall be prohibited. This absolut,
position we imagine would be easier
10 defend than one with the presei
limitations.
That we have grown too lax ir
granting divorces. and that the laws
Of many States need amendment no
body questions. The great practical
dihculty in She way is the lack OF uni
formity in marriage and divorce laws
and the tendency OF many ministers
and magistrates to perform the mar
riage ceremony whenever a fee ia ten-
dered. But the church OF Rome by
her rule has not only controlled mat
ters OF marriage and divorce among
her own people, but the force Of hei
teaching has had its effect on our law
makers and on the practices OF other
religious bodies. So the Episcopal
Church, whatever ground she may take,
win WELD an important influence and
help 10 create new public standards.
It is not a mere matter OF sentiment,
but a fact, that where the family rela-
tions are most sacredly guarded there
is the highest order Of civilization. In
the island Of Haiti. for instance. where
marriage IL almost a mockery, the IL
legitimate births reach seventy per
cent; and in all countries where po-
iysamy is tolerated public and private
morality are almost unknown quanti-
ties. Therefore. not only the church
but the state is vitality concerned in
this problem Of marriage and divorce

WE Repeat our QUESTION.

Commissioner Ford was asked by an
Evening journal reporter yesterday
why he nlled The unexpired term Of
Mr.. Jones. a Republican. by appoint
ing Democrat, and the term Of Or.
pyle by appointing Republican, thus
giving the Democrats the longer term?
He replied; "That is not a fair ques-
ton"
We submit that it is q fair question.
n pertinent question. and that Mr.
Ford should have answered 1t. on its
face it appears that Mr.. Ford has TAX

created by non-partlsan spirit, &c

pointed TO fiji out the Republican term.
but to place Democrat in a Republic
cans shoes, thus giving him two more
years to serve them had he been named
ms the successor Of Or. Pyle, looks like
peanut politics.
And right here Il Is well TO call Mr.
Ford's attention 70 the fact that his
opportunity to make the appointments
was not OF his creation and not of the
creation OF his party but the result Of
the demands Of the people that had
moved an honest and Independent
Mayor The people are now going to
demand an efficient administration Of
the Water Department; they want no
political machine. and under the cir
cumstances they feel that they have a
full right TO advise Commissioner Ford
and his colleagues, and to learn from
them their reasons for every act We
repeat the question asked Commission
or Ford yesterday. Why was not a
Republican appointed to an out the
unexpired term Of Republican?

much disp1eased at the way municipal affairs have
been conducted in the past and they so bad
ly displeased that they are overripe for a change,
many believing that it would be utterly impossible
to do any worse than what has been done
1t seems that it is the concensus of opinion among
the Democrats that William Pigott, the we'll known
promoter and business of this city be the unani-
choice of the party for mayor. Thus far he has
shown no decided opposition to the move which leaves
the impression among those who make politics study
that he will accept the nomination if unanimously ten
dered to him. If Mr. Pigott is nominated by the Dem
ocrats owing to the unsettled and topsy turvy cond
ton of the Republicans the Piemaker is inclined to-
believe he will be Seate's next chief executive. Mr.
Pigott is very popular to start out with he is thor
ough business in the second place, and has the
confidence of many of the leading Republicans of the
city, as well as the Democrats and will for these
sons give any Republican nominee for mayor mighty
close race for his money.
1t will be remembered that J. w. Go dwin the Dem
ocratic nominee for mayor in 1902 lacked only 600
votes of defeating Mayor Humes, and he certainly
would have defeated him had not such leading Demo-
Gratis the Harts, Walter Fulton and their friends
openly fought his election at the polls An army of
Republicans seemed determined to elect Mr. Goodwin,
but the Democrats would not stand for it. hence Mayor
Humes reelected by plurality of only 600, while
his colleagues high 5000 majority over their
opponents The conditions in Republican ranks have
not greatly changed within the past two years, and
it is believed that great many Republicans of
the opinion that change of politics for two years
will greatly benefit the city, and if the Democrats will
for once use god judgment and nominate such thor
ough- going business William Pigott the Re-
pubcans will flock to him as they did to J. T. Ron
aid some twelve years ago. The Piemaker is no ad
vocate of Change" but it to be in the wind
and it is the duty of the Piemaker as Republican
journalist to the party of the impending danger
that it may its standard bearer no less
sterling business man than Mr.. Pigott.
