Must Look To The Democratic
PARTY.


There may be come Republican
candidates for Congress next fall
who will promise to vote to reform
the tariff, but if they are elected
they will be powerless to carry out
any such proposition. There are
number of Republican members
of the present Congress who gave
like promises but they are either
sleeping or perchance have for
gotten. They are certainly not
trying to accomplish anything in
that direction. Only short time
ago Senator Spooner, the Repub-
lic4n leader in the Senate, declar-
ed openly that there would be no
tariff legislation at this session of
Congress. claiming that as a pres
identisi campaign was about to be-
gin, agitation of the tariff would
hurt business. He evidently did
moi speak without thorough
understanding of the attitude of
mis- party in both houses, If those
who promised reform before cleo.
ton were in earnest they would
join with the Democrats in fore
ing the committee of ways and
means to report one of the several
bills that are now before the oom.
mittee, but which the great ma
jority of the Republican members
do not wish to vote upon. Ii
would require fifteen Republicans
to join the Democrats and force a
vote on tariff reform, but they will
not do it. The moral to the voters
therefore, is, vote only for the
candidates who really favors re-
duciug the tariff and not those
who promise to do so merely to se-
cure election.

1t is altogether probable that the
wife whose husband went to prison
for his twentieth assult upon her
person was reared in this ancient
idea of what constituted wifely sub
mission.
No more immoral situation seems
possible than the continued asso
oiation of man and woman be-
tween whom blows aud abusive
words are even occasionally ex
changed; and when such conduct
is daily affair, tie relation is one
which disgraoes all humanity, and
renders the marriage tie as indie
cent as immoral.
The wife who makes no attempt
to divorce such a husband lowers
the standard of womanhood. There
fore, the we'll meaning danes who
have organized the Anti Divorce
Society must make and endeavor
to be just, while being strictly
moral
They must not formulate rigid
rules of social ostracism which will

congenial marriage.
An effort is needed to arrest the
tidal wave of divorce before ii
sweeps away tue very buIwarks of
society. Yet to render divorce, nc
matter what causes there may be
calling for it, crime and disgrace,
is to substitute one evil condition
for another.
The divorced wife of brutal

table position to hold in the world
than his legal wife and associate of
a husband who inspires Only hatred
and disgust. This is the most dis.

NT MASON COUNTY WEST VIRGINIA. WEDNESDAY MARCH 6 1901
The Dignity of Marriage.

though,less informality of civil
marriages. He has found that
statistics show that most of the
marriages brought to divorce courts
are contracted under civil instead
of religious auspices.
There is rich mine of solemn
truth in this simple proposition.
1t is the natural instinct of
womanhood to make a great deal
of marriage. The woman who is
fit to marry at all regards her mar
riage as the most important event
of her life.
We are all creatures of occult
forces to greater or less extent, and
the psychic influences of cheap,
hasty msrriage in Justice court
gaped at by loafers. are not such
as help to impress upon the soul
of man or maiden the full realiza-
tion of the meaning of the sacred
ceremony.
1t is futile to say that one mar
risge is as good as another. 1t is
not true. Marriage does not lie
in the legal bonds. The real mar
riege is of the spirit. and whatever
intensifies and exaults the spirit of
it makes the marriage better.
If marriage were all in the legal
bond, then there could be no real
marriage at all, for the legal bond
is far from being absolute. People
marry nowadays not "till death
do us part" but still temper and
unfsithfulness suggests the divorce
court.
Marriage is regarded entirely too
much as mere legal affair, easily
taken on and easily thrown off.
1t has become a common GUS
tom to furnish public marriages
as hdjucts or sideshows to street
fairs and oarnivals. Perhaps we
are approaching period and a
condition of public conscience
that will admit of actual marriages
in plays instead of The make believe
ones to which the stage is accus-
toned. She would have the ad-
vantage of freshness in each per-
formance, but whether the actual
marriage under such circumstances
would teem, or really be, more
genuine than the make. believe one
is question.
There cannot be too much of the
spirit of saoredness and solmenly
put into the marriage service. The
Cleveland clergyman is right in
saying that the life union pledged
before the altar of God under the
dome of His holy temple and amid
the prayers and blessings of rever-
ent and joyous friends, is far
better, far more meaningfuI, a
far more enduring marriage than
the petty legal affair in a justice
court.
Not all can afford fine cnurch
marriages Well, it doesn't matter
how fine marriage is, provided it
is the finest conditions will permit.

War And Increased Prices.

Flour is selling for 81 10 a barrel
more than it did last fall, the in
creased price being caused by the
war in the far east.
The farmers are benefited?
They would be if they had large
lots of wheat to sell. Most of the
cereal, however, is now in the
hands of the speculators who will
receive the profit Under the
stimulus of extra demands the
price of meats is likely to advance.
Such an advance would inure to
the benefit of the stock raisers and
packers. Especially the latter.
When war was begun between
Japan and Russia there were those
who secretly rejoioed They be-
Iieved this country would be great
ly benefited. And 30 it will be in
a general way.
But, the consumer, especially
the wage Garner, the salaried man
and the man with a fixed income
will view with alarm a further in
crease in the price of the neces.
carries of life. And not only the
American consumer, but the world
consumer will be called upon to
pay the bill. In thu near view
and viewed provinoially, war may
be esteemed temporary benefit to
a given locality, but in the long
run loss to the world.
Make the best of it you can, it is
true that war is waste. war is loss
