ton at which his ticket was nominal
ed. and therefore the delegates. chosen
at the same convention, to his CON
gressional convention, could have no
standing before the law.
The court, after a brief conference,
gave its ruling, Judge Williams an
nouncing that the verdict unanimously
overruled the Looney objections and
sustained those of the democratic con
gressional committee. Judge Williams
stated that the secretary of state would
be Immediately appraised Of the verdict
Of the court.
After the hearing the court and Wis

Bond should BE Required.
II would seem that the state and
counties should have some degree of
protection in election contests of the
character of the one passed on yester-
day at Macomb, which resulted in the
temporary suspension of the courts Of
six counties. If the contestants were
required TO furnish a bond for the
costs it is likely there would be fewer
contests. There is nothing to prevent
any citizen seeking political nOtOriety
calling convention and nominating n
ticket and filing a certificate and no.
lice of contest against the candidates
of either party with the secretary Of
state. The duty Of the latter requires
him TO refer to a county or district
board. Busy men are called from their
duties to inquire into contests that in
many instances have no merit. The
only satisfaction that those bringing
them expect to gain is a little notoriety
and an opportunity 10 display their
lighting qualities for the edification of
their followers. Let a bond be requir-
ed and the politician who knows he has
no case will think before he acts.

There had been a caIl, they were in
formed, printed by Mr.. LoOney in a
republican paper for a convention at
Moline, an action that he had taken
without authority from any other mem
Der of the committee, having signed
the name of Mr. Compton, as secre-
tary, to the same. without that gentle
mans consent. The meeting at Rock

FAVOR DIVORCE REFORM
Episcopal Bishops Adopt Amend
ment Forbidding Remarriage.
WAS REJECTED BY DEPUTIES

Conference viii Be Held to Consider
the Disagreement, But II Is Thought
Deputies viii Not Recede From
Their Action.
Boston. oct. lS-Tne house OF bish-
DDS. one of the legislative bodies OF
the Episcopal general convention.
adopted an amendment TO the canon
on marriage aud divorce forbidding
the remarriage of any divorced person
The amendment was substantially the
same as that which was rejected by
the house OF deputies on Friday last
The action of the bishops was not I'M
expected. as :he sentiment OF that
body was we'll known. In fact. a SINH
lar amendment was passed at the san
Francisco convention three years ago
but failed. AS was the case this year,
to secure the support of the other
house. A conference Of committees
representing the bishops and deputies
will be- held to consider the disagree
ment but leading clergymen do not
anticipate that the deputies will re-
ccde from their vote OF last week.
In the house Of deputies proposed
canon providing a court OF review, to
which appeals may be taken from the
decisions of diocesan courts, was re-
ported and its essential features
adopted. though several minor proyis-
ions went over.
Among these was one grouping the
dioceses and missionary districts into
seven provinces. each province to
have n court OF its own. A proposal
TO establish a court of appeals, a sort
of supreme court. to be composed OF
the bishops of the church, was re-
icrred to the next convention.
The amendment to the canon on
marriage and divorce is as follows:
NO minister shall solemnize mar
riage between any two persons unless
bv inquiry he shall have satisfied him
self that neither person has been. or
Is. the husband or the wife OF any
other person then living. from whom
he or she has been divorced for any
cause arising after the marriage.
Several additional amendments were
presented in the house Of bishops. one
OF which provides that a divorced
person shall rot be admitted to the
sacraments. There is a prOyis). how
ever that the sacraments shall not be
refused "A penitgnt person in imminent
danger OF death. nor to any person VINO
shall solemnly aver that he or she was
the innocent party in divorce for the
cause OF adultery
Another amendment sets forth the
procedure To be followed in case cler-
evman IS in doubt concerning the mar
rage Of any person and lays the case
before the bishop. These two amend
ments will be taken mp today.
Another amendment, which was
adopted. compels all clergyment to
observe closely the state laws on mar
riages and provides for the presence
Of M least two witnesses.
The bishops voted TO nominate mis-
sionary bishops for Cuba. Hankow,
China and Salt Lake.
