The ATChbiShop's Visit.

The primate Of all England has
come 70 the Capital Of the United
States. He left behind him people
who worship in a state church. He
greets today a people who dislike the
very idea of church and state united
Yet the Archbishop of Canterbury
will find, and Americans may expect
him to note, that the United States
maintains in all the multiform phases
of its national life as inherent a rev
erence for religion as though the
church stood here, as it stands in al
most every other country of the
globe, behind the shelter of the gov
eminent. In truth, he must discover
that the people who constitute the
bone and tissue of our country live
day by day more closely to the tenets
of Christian faith than the people Of
any other country where the precepts
of the Bible are taught. Our Sunday
is still a day of worship; England's
Sunday has long been a holiday. Our
people as Christians maintain their
own churches: his, as Christians, lean
on the revenues of the state Our
churches are filed with worshipers
who read and learn and understand;
the most optimistic observer could
not say so much for the churches Of
any country in Europe.
These conditions are only a fruit of
the public spirit which has kept our
state and our religion entirely sepa-
rate. But they are more. They are
a distinct promise of a noble service
for religion in the future, a nobler
service-if an American newspaper
may so characterize it-than any peo-
pie can ever render when their
religious faith is confused with their
loyalty to their state.
The people of Washington welcome
the Archbishop of Canterbury
heartily, whatever their religion.
And they do so in an honest and fear
less independence of action, thought,
and faith.

MeTedith's Novel IDEA.

A marriage scheme proposed by
George Meredith is announced as
novel" Such Characterization of il
is not just 1t is no more novel than
any other form of sin arising from
an iniquitous impulse that may be
original" Or, perhaps. it is SO
termed because Mr.. Meredith might
put it in a book If he were 10 dc
this and bury it there iG a mass OF
the obscure language of which he is
a master, no great harm would re
suit, as the difficulty Of digging out
the idea would permit it to remain
inferred.
When Mr.. Meredith makes his pro-
posal in the public prints, and in
comprehensive language, he becomes
an enemy to good morals, and hence
an enemy to society. Whoever or
whatever tends to rob the marriage
relation of stability is the advocate
of an evil or is the evil itself. Mar
riage observed as a sacred compact is
the only safety of the state. Abolish
IL, or rob it Of its essential qualities,
and the people thus deprived sink 20
immortality of a type that means
quick decay. History may be cited
for abundant proof.
The plan of Meredith is that mar
riages be permitted to last for a
period 10 be fixed in advance. At
the end of this time there is to be
dissolution Of the tie, and the state
is to see that there be fair division
of common property and that chill
dren be given care.
In lawless communities, where
lewdness is the highest incentive. a
system essentially identical with
Meredith's prevails now It is not
dignifed by being termed marriage.
There win be a devil of an uproar
before the change is made" admits
the chaste reformer, and he is partly
right. There will be just the sort OF
uproar he describes, and then the
change won't be made. On the con-
trary, the Meredith style Of social
regulator will be eliminated from the
columns OF responsibility.
Authors Of problem hooks and
problem plays, usually tiresome and
Invariably obscene, are doing harm
enough when they refrain from try
ing 10 force their notions into the
conduct Of everyday life People do
not have 10 90 TO the theater, and
they have the privilege of leaving the
undesirable book alone, but when the
material that besmirches the play and
the story is thrust upon the senses
through the medium of the daily
press, the public needs protection.
Marriage is in instances a failure.
The lightness with which it's bonds
are assumed and the gross Iooseness
with which they are severed, is a sad
reflection upon the parties 70 the sun
