NO SEA FIGHTING REPORTED,

Ten Tsin, April 30-The Japanese
fleet. under Admiral Togo, has made
another demopstrstion against Port
Arthur, and, according to reports
here. is still off the Russian base with
strong force.
The opinion here is that Togo's
latest move is preparatory to joint
land and sea attack on Port Arthur.
1t is regarded ss not improbable that
this attack already has been made,
though no report to this effect has yet
reached here. That there soon will be,
if there already has not been, hard
fighting on the Liza Tung peninsula is
confidently believed here.
This belief is based on news which
has been brought by incoming vessels
of the movements of Japanese war
ships and transports toward the head
of the gulf, where the Russians are
determined to prevent the landing of
Japanese troops il possible.

MAnRIAGE AND pIvoRoE.

The agitation Of the divorce prob lem has brought consternation to the magistrates through the proposition to deprive them of the privilege of per forming the marriage ceremony. To such a change the magistrate will, of course positively object Besides be- anee 1t will rob him of one of his chief sources of income, to say nothing of the opportunity to now and then kiss blushing bride.--Mobile Item.
 Is not The Item getting ahead of the hounds? There Is little agitation of the question except that which recent ly took place fin Boston. among the Episcopalians, and the principal con- tention there was on the question of re-marriage of a divorced person. It must also be remembered that the controversy there was as to the course which should be pursued by Episcopal ministers when dealing with those who had been divorced. Of course that body made no pretence of authority to say what civil officers should or should not do in such cases.
 With the denominational side of tho controversy The Advertiser, of course. mas nothing to do. There were differ ent and somewhat variant opinions among the delegates at Boston, but that was a matter affecting only that denomination and those who belong to it. The decision arrived at cannot af- feet or control the civil or criminal laws of the various States. As we have stated. we have no disposition to enter into the controversy or to take sides with either class of disputants but laynan may discuss the general question of marriage and divorce with out intruding on the domain of the church. or criticising any church be- lief or tenet.

 The day before the recent perform ance of "A Chinese Honeymoon" which was given at her house, little Katie Barry, the Cinderella of the company, refused to sing her song after mid night, the next day being Sunday.

NORTHERNERs SHOULD GO SOUTH.
Field for Study that Cannot Re Equalled
 in Any Foreign Country.

Chicago Tribune, (Rep.)
 There are some Northerners who know more about Germany and about Italy, and perhaps about the romantic and picturesque Balkan peninsula" than they do about Georgia and South Carolina, and Texas. Consequently they show more sense when they are talking about lese majeste. or about the temporal power of the Pope, or about Turkish oppression, than they do when they are talking about the right of the negro to vote.
 It is so easy to think that just be- understand it. The Southerner and the Northerner are fellow citizens. They owe allegiance to the same flag. There fore, the Northerner is perfectly com petent to tell the Southerner how to settle the negro question.
 The fallacy in this logic is that be- cause of the presence of the negro the social condition of Charleston. :. C.. dif- fers from that of Boston Mass, more than that of Boston, Mass. differs from that of London, England. And citizen of Boston gets on better in London than he does in Charleston.
 The negro question is greater than any other question in America. And it IS not only greater, but more delicate. IL is matter of social, as well as of political and industrial life. So. more than almost any other question that could be imagined. it needs personal experience. Tne occasional negro of the North Is not an adequate basis for studying the negro of the South. In the South the negro in many commit mites outnumbers the white, and there Is possibility of negro rule.
 Therefore, Northerner, if you have time and money to visit new scenes visit the South Some of your fellows have gone to the South and have lived | there for few years. They don't feel now quite as you do. See if you can find out what 1t was that modified their opinions.
 Go South and watch the descendants of Washington, Madison, Jefferson Marshall, Jackson, Clay. Calhoun, Polk and Lee while they bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh, are working out with errors of mind and with errors oi heart, but with American pluck anC hope, the greatest domestic problem that ever ate into the heart of a civ. ilized people Then come back, and Ii you still think that they are wrong yor will say so in a different tone.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER ss. 1904.
PREAcHERg WIVES.

A Philadelphia newspaper has been conducting a sort of symposium among the ministers of that city upon the that falls to the lot of a preachers wife in this world. Some members of the cloth gladly accepted the oppor- tunity and set before the public with engaging frankness and openness, just what they believe to be the qualities of mind and heart that should distin- guish a woman married to a pulpit and parish. One genial and intrepid soul vouches In his own experience, having tried matrimony three times and never having once failed in the wisdom of his choice, he cannot conceive that there is any question open for debate: each one of his wives proved a help that has meet for him. Yet another denoupces the whole inquiry as an im- pudent Intrusion upon private life; de- claring wives are made for the joy and consolation of their husbands and he wonders that any affectionately dis posed minister of the gospel can stoop to publicly discuss the matter. His letter appeared, however, and one is led toGeonclude his indignation was not as hearty as he would have liked for it to appear. If he had been as mad as he pretended he was he would assuredly have cast the editors circu- lar into the waste basket or the fire.
 Our own view. speaking from the layman's standpoint. is that the clergy mans wife is now more important to him in his Christian work than she has ever been in any period of the past. This is so, for a very kirnpIe reason. The church, all churches, are more and more steadily dedicated to social causes. The immense the nre- ponderant influence of religion in the control and direction of our modern life is not due to any distinctive pecu- liarities of creed or belief. Rather to the driving impulse to soften. improve and elevate the common lot of man. This imperatively takes the form of aetive charity, not as a matter of course. exemplihed by a simple expen- allure of money. in downright bestow al of gifts, so much as by meetings. by associations, by teaching, by compan- ioi.ship. with the purpose to lift the poor and the spiritually weak into a higher region where they may hope to live with growing constancy.
 If this is not a fanciful view, then the minister's wife must steadily be- come more and more a prop on which he may lean in advancing the work about which he is engaged. There will be many women who will prefer Mar tha's life and busy themselves with the duties of home alone. There will remain, though the constant appeal that society as a whole is making. that she should come out, join her endeavor to the endeavors of her husband as well as hundreds of others to lift the community to a higher plane. In steadily growing numbers in the fu- ture preachers wives will respond to the appeal thus made.
