GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE,

You have to look over the various
causes for which divorce Is applied for.
in order to realize 10 some extent, the
nature Of that cyl. The newspapers
supply the information needed, For In
stance. one woman desired TO keep a
COW, and the husband objected The
quarrel waxed hot, and divorce re-
suited.
Another woman asks for a divorce
because her husband smokes. II the
records are correct, he had that habit
when they were married The lady ac-
cepted him I'm the foolish hope Of re-
forming him after marriage Failing
IN this. she asks for separation. one
man asks for divorce on a more rea-
sonable ground lie was acquainted
with his wife but one day before their
marriage, and during the brief court
ship she did not happen to tell him
that she had a husband living. a
clergyman is said to ask for divorce
because his wife sometimes hides his
ministerial coat when he wants to use
it. She does not want him to preach
he says Possibly she considers the
good Of the congregation in this matter.
And thus Is the divorce mill kept grind
Ing. II Is high time that something
be done to save the family from the
danger that threatens 1t IN the nIppan-
cy with which contracts that should be
sacred are made and broken,

DECLINES MEDIATION.

Although Russian statesmen adj
nit that the country was not
prepared for war, when tho
first attack on the Port Ar.
thur fleet was made, ana although the
country has suffered some humiliatlng
revorsca. the government at present de-
cliues to accept the good offices Of any
third party. IN the interest Of peace.
Russia Is now determined to pursue the
war with all the resources OF the elm
pIrc. And as Japan has the same de-
termination, and Is said 90 be prepared
for six years war II necessary the
peace outlook Is not bright
This kind Of talk may be all right at
present. 1t may be necessary to show
q brave front, for effect at home II
not abroad But, a. the same time
Russia would gain by a peaceful ar
rangement OF the points In dispute, II
the two combatants are to fight TO a
finish" the victor Is not likely to be
in position TO enforce the most ia
vorable conditions. When Russia had
conquered Turkey Europe simply tore
up the treaty Of san Stefano, and with
It took away a great part Of the ad-
vantages gained, japan was, IN the
last war, forced from the field Of bat
tie. after the victory was won. This
is likely to happen again. Russia may
defeat Japan, after enormous sacrifices,
but she viii then be exhausted and
forced to submit 10 peace terms dictat-
ed by others. what Is the use then, Of
a prolonged contest?

A WORTHY INSTITUTION.

The laying Of the corner stone for
the splendid edifce now being erected
for the Y NJ G. A., at the corner OF
State and First South streets, was an
interesting occasion. Particulars Of the
proceedings will be found In another
part Of this issue of the Deseret News.
The building viii be an ornament to
the city and representative Of most
worthy association. II is not sectaran
In It's aims, motives or proceedings It
takes within its influence and society,
young men Of all persuasions, 1t Is
corrective and preventive in it's meth
DDS. It seeks to redeem the youth from
evil ways ana companions, and pro-
vides means by which he can be In
structed and entertained so that he
need not run into paths OF evil to seek
for amusement
The association has been power for
good throughout the land, and it's ad-
Vancement IN this city IS a source Of
pleasure 10 people who recognize as
worthy. every agency that uplifts and
improves mankind While there is no
need Of such an institution for the
young men among the "Mormons, their
Mutual Improvement associations
meeting every such requirement, II rec
ommends itself to the lovers Of hu-
manity OF every creed and party, as a
mighty engine against vice and crime,
and IN favor Of right conduct and good
citizenship.
The services IN the Theater and on
the ground were exceedingly interest
ing and suited to the occasion. The
mastery discourse OF Rev. Elmer /,
Goshen the splendid address by Prest
r. B. stephens, and every feature of
the ceremonies were appropriate and
excellent The energy displayed by
Prest. Stephens and by Secretary oscar
l.. Cox and the other officers and trus-
tees Of the organization, is worthy Of all
commentator and We hope they viii
meet with the support Of generous per-
sons IN completing the structure as
they have in laying It's foundation and
securing the fine site on which the edl-
fee viii stand as a sign Of progress ana
OF culture.

TWO EXTREMES.

II the London Truth Is correct the
great metropolis is rapidly being
"Americanlzed' That paper says;
"In the United states there has
grown mp an institution which was
called the Four Hundred. Rapidly this
curious system is being adopted In
London, and unless the unforeseen oc-
ours the society here will soon be
composed also almost entirely of rich
and reckless persons, who through the
press, have attained social prominence,
Many Of the finest houses In the town

giant costumes, they occupy the best
boxes A. the opera and the theaters,
they drive I'm the most striking car
ringes, and they give the most eXclu-
sive entertainments
At the same time, there arc thous-
ands Of unfortunatcs In that great city
who have not a bed TO sleep upon for
want Of the few cents that are charged
for a nights lodging at the Salvation
Army houses Of refuge and other cheap
rooming houses. They simply walk
tho streets, unless they are fortunate
enough to find sheltered place whore

In this manner, human institutions are

The history Of France in the first half
Of the past century illustrates this.
The government, which was supposed TO
