The Alabama Legislature did we'll when 1t voted down the bill to add still another cause for divorce to those now on our statute books. There are many good people who hold that divorces should never be granted for other than the Scriptural cause. However right or wrong they may be in their contention it must surely be admitted that in Ala bama there is no call to add other causes, or excuses Marriage Is an institution too sacred to be put off as one would put on an unsatisfactory garment There are certain States in this Union where divorce mills" are in constant opera hon, and where bonds which should be sacred and lasting are severed with scarcely more trouble than a seamstress snips a thread.

NOT A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Discussing the recent attempted attack on the President, The Boston Post has what appears to us to be an extreme idea tempts. It says:
 For one thing it goes to show that our laws are not what they should be in decreeing the most severe punishment for any attempted assault of any kind upon public officials. high or low. For if they were sufficiently severe and far reaching they would so impress even partially demented creature that he would not nurse in his mind the thought of an attack upon public officer.
 public officer Is a. greater crime than if 1t were a private citizen is a matter about which men may differ, but the idea con- veyed by The Post is not a tenable one That an insane man can be restrained by any law, however severe, is not a reas- enable proposition, nor is it in accord ance with humanity or reason to punish such a man for crime as one would punish criminal with unimpaired reason ling powers and normal faculties for dis ftinsuishing between rght and wrong. l-s If, there Is fault or shame connected 4 with the Oyster Bay incident 1t is found in the failure to properly care for and restrain those who are not responsible for their movements and acts There is no evidence. so far as we know. to show that this man lost his mind suddenly His reason was evidently weak, and We have no cause to think that he was in condl- ton to be restrained by the thought of any law, however severe 1t might be. The proper care and restraint of the in- sane Is of much more importance to the community than would be any law to punish them for acts for which they are not mentally responsible

A PROTECTING FOG

The famotS Confederate privateer
Alabama has often been called 4 pi-

Semmes. How or from whom he took
her doesn't pertain to this yarn. Dixon
was sitting in the cabin one evening
at anchor in Singapore strait with a
bottle of wine beside him that had
been intended for the table of an Eng
lish nobleman.
There was but one light aboard. and
a tarpauln stretched across the sky
light interfered with its being seen.
The pirate was waiting for day. and
when day came he proposed to snap
his jaws above and below a bark that
was trying to get through the strait
laying up nights.

slumbering, innocent of danger. BY no
means. Captain Burt had seen the
Semmes crawling along the surface
of the water the evening before and
suspected her Had she been recog-

bark might have taken to the boats
during the night. They certainly would
have done so. for the captains dau@ll-

that the stranger be investigated. That

important one is manifest from his
sending the young husband. who would
hold the safety of his bride of para

When day came the bark was shut
in by ii fog. But Dixon had noted her
position by the compass the night be

posed to feel for her. Captain Burt had
suffered night of anxiety, and the
more he thought OF the schooner the
more he believed that she was piratic-
ally inclined. When he found the man

gave orders that not sound should
serve as a guide to any one trying to
