ments by the chairman of the state

with the exception of Governor Pea
body, is elected. There has been SO
much. scratching that it is not possible
at this time to give even an estimate
on the governors vote. believe,
however, that he will come to Denver

action by the state canvassing board
that will insure the reelection Of Gov
ernor Peabody."-Chairm Farley Of

tee.
George Stidger, for district attor-
ney, and William w. Booth, for state

there been an honest election and a
fair count, would have been success
ful."-F. A. Williams, chairman OF the

Denver. Nov. 13-Governor Peabody
last night issued the following state
ment:
ITO The People of Colorado:
From the most reliable information
obtainable from the several counties OF
the state l am now confident that I
have been fairly and honestly re
elected governor OF Colorado.
Great outrages have been at
tempted in some outside counties, as
well as in Denver. Opposition to my
election did not come mainly from Ia
boring men or from labor unions. They
are as much in favor of law and or
der as other law abiding citizens. Mel
ther do threats of personal violence
and public disturbance, nor the STIR
ring up of strikes come chiefly from
them.
Il am now convinced that the fight
came in a large degree from n set of
reckless men. both in and outside OF
the Republican party, who aided the
Democrats. egged them on to disor-
derly conduct and supplied them with
large sums cf money In the hope of de-
feating me and of defeating Congress
man Brooks. who has also incurred
their political displeasure.
I'VE shall probe the facts about
the recent election In every county OF
the state. II 1t should prove that am
not reelected. l WILL ADMIT 1T
PROMPTLY.
"I make this public statement be
cause of an evident attempt on the
part OF some people. some politicians
and some newspapers to bluff the pub
lie into believing that / am defeated.
with the hope thereby of discouraging
my friends and frightening me away
from the contest.
Il ask the assistance and support of
all law abiding citizens of Colorado Ia
my attempt to honestly and fearlessly
establish the facts in relation to the
election OF November Sth, 1904.

separation from bed and board can
not loose the marriage tie, so that
either party may marry again during
the life of the other. Nor has legal
divorce the slightest power before
God to loose the bond Of marriage and
to make a subsequent marriage valid.
Views Divorce With Alarm.
"As devoted to the best interests Of
our republic and anxious for its per-
petuity, we view with alarm the in
crease of divorces in our land due to
the scandalous looseness of legislation
in many states. 1t is not the individ-
ual, but the family, which is the safe
guard of our boaSted civilization. Di-
vorce attacks the root of the family
and deprives it of its sacred character.
Divorce, by destroying the home.
deprives the child of the great bless
ing of home training. There are no
holier words in our language than
home and mother. But divorce destroys
the home and drives out the mother.
':When we hear so many voices
raised in condemnation of divorce and
seeking a remedy for this unmixed
evil; when all must realize that no
legislation can be of remedial value;
may we not hope that at last recog-
milton Of the splendid stand taken by
the Catholic Church will be given and
her claim that not to Caesar but to
God and Gods Church pertains the
settlement of all such questions"
The letter calls the attention Of all
Roman Catholics to the conditions
which must be complied with before
the church will give marriage its
full blessing and pleads with them to
conform closely to these requirements,
that they might enter into a contract
from which they would regret that
even death could release them"
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-02-28

In letter to the clergy and laity of
the Roman Catholic diocese of Savan-
nah to be read to-day in all the
churches, Rt. Rev. Bishop B. J. Kelley
laments the spread of the divorce evils
and the other evils which are conse-
quent upon it, and earnestly and force
fully argues for the position which the
church has taken upon the matter
The position of the Roman
Catholic Church as mediator
between God and man and its
divine authority to interpret the
Scriptures, are argued for, though
the greater part of the letter is taken
with a discussion of the sanctity of the
marriage vows. Among other things
the Bishop says:
when men were told that the writ
ten word of God was sole witness to
and the depository of the divine reve-
lation; that each man must read it and
could easily interpret it for himself, it
did not take an inspired prophet to
foresee that such a doctrine would lead
first of all to multiplication of sects.
and next. to a denial of the sacred
character of the Holy Scriptures. The
multiplication of sects is known of all,
and few countries have exhibited so
fruitful a soil for these noxious growths
as our own republic.
"The second consequence OF attempt
ing to supplant the house builded on a
rock by the house builded on the shift
ing sands of private judgment is seen
to-day I'm one of the most lamentable
symptoms OF Christian life outside the
Church OF God. Time was when the BIZ
BILE, and the Bible alone, was the war

incontestibie fact that the Bible r. los

1.-The Mother Church preferred to
see England torn from her side rather
than yield compliance with the will
of a monarch who sacrificed his coun-
try's faith to his unbridled passions.
In this matter she knew no distinc-

1.-THE enemies of the church regard
marriage as a mere civil contract,
which the civil power is to regulate,
and from which an injured or dissatis-
fed party may release himself or her
self by the remedy of divorce, so as to
be lawfully able to contract new en-
gagements. This is an evident con-
tradiction of the words of Christ:
What God has Joined together let no
man put asunder.'
LAS the guardian of Gods holy law
the church condemns this false theory
from which would follow a successive
polygamy, no less opposed to the unity
and stability of Christian marriage
that that simultaneous polygamy which
to the scandal of Christendom, is found
within our borders. No state law can
authorize divorce so as to permit the
parties divorced to contract new en-
gagements, and every such engage
ment, contracted during the joint lives
of the parties divorced, involves the
crime of adultery.
"The security of the Christian home
is in the indissolubility of the marriage
tie. Christian marriage, once consum-
mated, can never be dissolved, save by
death. Let it be well understood that

so-called leaders of society are the

subserviency of the shepherds to the

Church Protects Christian Women.
"Our country has witnessed periodi-
cal spasms of virtuous indignation
against the polygamous practices of
the Mormons and our highest circles
of society are examples of consecutive
polygamy practiced. The Mormon sup
ports all his so-called wives. but the
wealthy American hands over the care
and support of his legitimate wife
to some one else with whom she con-
tracts marriage, and seeks consolation
in meretricious relations with a highly
respectable woman. whose real con-

what neither philosophy nor legisla-
ton could effect. The many human
societies outside her pale, which are
for religious purposes, are utterly pow
erless to restrain human passion in
this matter. In the Church of God
the dignity of the Christian woman
is assured. Outside the Church of
God her position is the same as that
of women before the Christian dis
pensation; she is at the mercy of her
master, who can repudiate her at his

Marriage of Catholics and Protest

THE church highly disapproves of
the marriage of Catholics and bap-
tized Professionals, and though some
ignorant Catholics deem her conduct
in thus condemning these unions as
unduly severe, a lamentable experience
justifies her decision. No one knows
the immense loss of immortal souls due
to what are called Mixed Marriages.

divine authority. When Professionalism
presumed to reject certain books as
apocrypal, it put in place the wedge
destined in time to cleave in twain the
system which called itself evangelical
and appealed to the Bible as it's foun-
dation. Unfortunately, having rejected
the Scriptures, they have nothing else
on which to fall back; and hence, day
by day is it becoming more evident that
Professionalism as a system is doomed
and that Rationalism or Agnosticism is
to supplant it.
The Great Evil of Divorce.
ITO the rejection of the church and
the substitution of the civil authority
for that established by Christ, is due"
the Bishop says, 1.-The utter disregard
OF Christs teaching on the subject of
marriage by all Protestant sects. There
have not been wanting brave and good
men among the clergy and laity who
have boldly denounced the growing
evil. But nothing shows so conclu-
sively the failure of the non-Catholic
sects to correspond to the teachings
of Christ than their inability to cope
with this disgrace. In various as
semblages of these sects we find from
time voices raised i'm defense of the
sanctity of marriage, but the voice of
the laity predominates, and when the
