A man, q real man, has written to this

are "the approved ingredients and the

in the recent Democratic primaries in the

nation Of . candidate for Governor who
avowedly tolerated negro lynobins and

rhe Nex. Chairman Of Appropriations.

The new Speaker Of the House OF

Ave weeks from to-day, in the person OF
the Hon. JOSEPH G. CANNON OF Illinois
In the organization Of the House one OF
Mr.. CANNoN's most important duties, If
not the most important duty Of all, will
be the selection Of his own successor as
chairman Of the Committee on Appro-
priations.
1t is currently reported that MIR. CAM
NON has decided, in making this appoint
ment, to pass over the committeeman
now ranking next to him in the list, the
Hon. HENRY H. BINGHAM Of Pennsyl-
vania, q veteran member Of the House
whose length of service is exceeded only
by the terms OF Mr.. KETcHAM Of New
York and Mr.. CANNON himself, and to
appoint a comparatively young Repre-
sentative, the Hon. JAMES A. HEMENwAY
of Indiana, who entered Congress only
eight years ago.
Mr.. CANYONS reported reasons refer
entirely to the special qualifications OF
the man he is said to have chosen for
this particular post; and nobody will
doubt either the disinterestedness OF his
choice. or the excellence of his standard
Of Judgment. There never was a more
conscientious chairman of Appropria-
tons than the next Speaker. There have
been few guardians Of the public funds

A Maria re of the Divorced.

II was announced last week that, as
soon as the limit of time after obtaining
a divorce prescribed by the State Of
Rhode Island has passed, divorced
woman, prominent In the New York and
Newport circle Of fashion, will again be
married and to divorced man who is
conspicuous in the same social sphere.
The woman is Roman Catholic who was
welded to her now divorced husband, a
Protestant, about six years ago. In
May Of this year she obtained her d.
vorce at Newport, on the ground of
neglect to provide necessities of life. /"
in 80 doing, Of course, she outraged the
law and the faith OF her Church. The
man to whom she is now to be married
II Protestant also, and his original wife
obtained divorce from him about a
year ago, on the grounds, as alleged in
her complaint, Of adultery with woman
unknown, cruel and abusive treatment
and a confirmed habit of intoxication, I"
and recently she was married to another
man at London.
correspondent having asked US II it
was true that the marriage Of the d.
vorced pair about to take place was to be
solemnized by Roman Catholic priest
OF Newport, We referred the question
to hierarchical authority and received
the reply that such proceeding would
be impossible, for "a Catholic priest
who married divorced woman when
the previous marriage was valid would
be suspended Neither could he marry
the woman to a divorced man whose
previous marriage had likewise been
valid.
The canon Of the Episcopal Church
forbids minister to ofYiciate at mar
riage Of a divorced person unless he or
she was the innocent party to . divorce
suit for adultery; and there Ia a strong
Episcopal tendency to go still further
and refuse marriage to the divorced
under any circumstances, 80 long as the
original married partner is living.
The Presbyterian and other Protestant
Churches have also loudly proclaimed
their intolerance Of divorces obtained
on the grounds alleged by tho parties
to the forthcoming marriage Of which

it would have been relatively easy to Sc
cure tho cooperation Of France, in spite
Of the knowledge that such cooperation
would bring England into the field. Now,
on the other hand, the relations Of France
and England have been 20 signally i'm
proved that only with the utmost re-
luctance would the former country en-
ter ON course certain to provoke British
hostility. Tho friendliness, however,
with which the French people are be-
ginning to regard Great Britain ID in
creasing, and, unless checked, may not
only weaken. but eventually disrupt,
the alliance with Russia.
1t may, therefore, be plausibly argued
At St. Petersburg that it is no longer for
the Cars interest to defer tho inevitable
conflict with Japan. According to re-
ports which have been telegraphed to
Europe, and which seem to be credited
at Toxic, Russia has managed to collect,
in tho region stretching from tho Amur
River to the Yellow Sea, NO fewer than
$4,000 soldiers. Her naval force has
also been increased, though, O. We have
formerly pointed out, its comparative
efficiency will be impaired BY the fact
that it is divided into two squadrons,
one stationed at Vladivostok, and tho
other at Port Arthur, whereas the jap
anese feet occupies midway position.
We should know soon after Oct. 8, il
not before, whether . conflict between
Japan and Russia ID unavoidable. The
Japanese Minister at Pekin has opposed
with vehemence the new conditions at
tached by R,lssia's representative to the
evacuation Of Manchuria on tho date
named. Of which the St. Petersburg
Government has given written assurance
to the United States. Whether Russia
fails punctually to fulfil tho promise
given to Secretary HAY, or whether
China assents to conditions irreconcilable
with a genuine evacuation. Japan will
feel that the public opinion Of the world
is arrayed upon her side. Then she may
be expected to demand that the Russian
troops recently posted on the south
bank Of the Yalu River shall be instantly
withdrawn.

Increased Opportunities for Arrest.


The number OF the acts Of omission
and commission for which citizens Of
New York are liable to arrest increases
steadily. Already they are a. inclusive
as tho very able curse that the Lord
Cardinal uttered against the Jackdaw
Of Rheims. Within the year hard
ened offender has been locked up in q
police station overnight for the heinous
offence Of taking the air on the roof
of a building separated by only two
houses from an alleged poolroom. Motor
iously desperate criminals Of less than
IA years Of age are likely to be arrested
il they peddle papers on the street un-
tagged. In some parts Of town friendly
game Of cards can be relied upon to
bring about the players arrest, and, il
the conditions are entirely favorable, q
good sound clubbing.
Just before election the chances Of a
man being arrested are much better
than at any other season. Tho law is
off, and the game is hunted by scores
of enthusiasts. The Superintendent Of
Elections and his deputies are par
ticularly active in October, and men
whose acts never would cause them to
be taken up by the Sheriff or the police
may look confidently to the Deputy
Superintendent of Elections.
This IL the case Of man residing In
the Bowery, in a hotel, who on Friday
was approached by an elections deputy.
The deputy had list Of questions for
the man to answer The questions
were a series Of polite intimations that
the man to whom they were put was q
liar about his name, his business, his
habits, and every subject on which
they were designed to shed light Not
the kind Of questions tactful person
would use to inspire friendship and con-
fidenoe in a stranger, but good insulting
questions they were.
The dweller in the Bowery answered
all the questions until he came to one
which INQUIRED whether he was married,
and where his family lived. At that
he rebelled. He would not answer, and
it is recorded that he expressed his
refusal in words that panied the Deputy
Superintendent Of Elections, a man not
accustomed to the violence OF language
that is practised among some citizens.
Therefore, the deputy superintendent
arrested the dweller In the Bowery,
charging him with misdemeanor.
This arrest was made under tho
authority Of Section . Of the Metro
politan Election District law, which
declares that any person who neglects
or refuses to furnish information to
the superintendent and his deputies
shall be guilty Of a misdemeanor. The
possibilities OF arrest are practically
unlimited under this section, and the
community should he accordingly happy.
Every man, no matter how humble his
station, can contrive to get into Jail
under it II he has any ingenuity or in
fluence.
The blessed time is near at hand when
the entire population will be either tagged
and licensed, uniformed according to
calling, business or social position, or I'M
der arrest. Until this condition of things
is brought about, some mems ideal OF
free government will not be attained.

we are speaking. They are endeavor-
ing to bring about comfy among min
listers Of the Christian denominations
under which generally they will refuse
to offlciate at marriages Of people %
divorced, for at present such couples BY
running to ministers Of another denom-
nation than that to which they may
belong are now able to crafty their
desire. or course. it is idle for Churches
to denounce the divorce evil" II their
ministers connive at it by marrying the
divorced for any cause, on the payment
of a fee
1t is true that there arises the grave
question whether parties eligible for
marriage under the law have not right
to insist on the performance Of the con-
tract by civil magistrate, which, for tho
purpose Of marriage, a minister is made.
Other civil magistrates must perform
the duties with which they are charged
by law, without regard to their individual
wishes. But this only raises the outside
question whether it would be advisable
to follow in this country the example 80
frequent in Europe Of requiring civil
marriage by q distinctively civil magis-
trate before any religious ceremony
takes place, il the contract is to be legal.
The question as to the Forthcoming
marriage Of which We have spoken is
how it can be performed by any Christian
minister consistently with the principle
of opposition to the divorce evil Of
which the Churches 50 generally are
now making loud profession. Here is a
case peculiarly fragrant. Both parties
are divorced, the man for offences against
the moral law, as propounded by all
Churches, and the woman for q cause
which is plainly fictitious-'neglect to
provide necessities Of life not really
needed by her.
OF course. no Roman Catholic priest
can officiate at such marriage. Neither
is it possible for any Episcopal clergy
man to perform tho ceremony, without
violating the canon of his Church. Nor
can any Protestant minister officiate at
it without defying the principle on which
the Protestant movement against such
divorces is conducted so conspicuously.
If there ever was complete example Of
the divorce evil, here it is.
Who, then, will perform this marriage
ceremony? How can it consistently be
performed by any other than q purely
civil magistrate acting under the COM
pulsion of his duty under the law?
