formity in divorce lawss has often led to
distressing difficulties. A divorce in one
state is sometimes not divorce In an
other state in spite of the fourth article
of the Constitution which declares that
full faith and credit shall be given In
each state to the public acts, records and
judicial proceedings of every other state
Such widely different views are held on
the subjects of marriage and divorce that
a divorce law liberal enough to satisfy pub
lie opinion in one state would probably be
deemed too lax by the people OF another
state Some state laws OF divorce are 50
very far apart that the difficulty Of effect

most insurmountable.

EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon by Rev. II. Preston
If we would have explanation of
the most terrible ~reversals and start
ling cataclysm of human life, we
must search for it in those unherald-
ed experiences, where the vital seeds
are sown, and where men make trades
with conscience.
God will bring every fine ambition
to its coronation, as the sun ripens
every flower in the meadow, unless
somewhere there is sin.
There is no pitiful spectacle
in the world than the spectacle of un-
inspired toll, of labor without Gods
coronation, of strife without the bless
ing of the Lord.
What a truth is here, Gods work
without Gods blessing. That men
may do the most heroic things with
out advantage; that hands may be
lifted against the evil and fall back
helpless; that a soul may make some
matchless sacrifice and still not win
the praise of Heaven.
No man car sin without disqual lily
ing some n else and makingi it hard
er for every child of God to be worthy
of his birthright.
1t means tremendous responsibility
to live. And no man is prepared to
live without Divine help.

MICHAEL DAVITT.

Michael Davitt, the dead Irish land
Lacquer, was not a patriot for revenue
only. He sacrificed all he had in the
cause of Ireland as he understood it.
He was four times imprisoned for in
citing rebellion, his most serious col
lision with the law being in 1870 when
he was convicted of treason for his
completely in the Fenian movement of
1866. He was sentenced to fifteen
years, and after serving half his term
was released on ticket-of-leave.
He Immediately began work on the
land propaganda for Ireland, and dur
ing the enforcement of the coercion
act of 1880 was again arrested and his
ticket of-leave revoked. He was in
prison a year and a half on this occa-
sion, and was again released, but his
spirit was not broken and he began
new labors which brought him two
more short terms of Imprisonment.
Mr. Davitt was one of the origina-
tors of the Irish Land league, whose
avowed purpose was to secure a reduc-
ton of rents and to refuse payment
where reductions were refused. But
back of this material of the campaign
-
the league had for its object a change
in the laws which would bring about
peasant proprietorship. Earlier than
this, John Bright had proposed as a
settlement of the land question that
the government buy out all the estates
which were available and forcibly pur-
chase the lands of corporations in Ire
land, reselling the ground in small
farms on t~hirty-six years time. The
league struggled against the slow-mov-
ing process of English politics, got
into politics itself, built up the Irish
parliamentary party, which was partly
supported by funds from America, So
licited by Dayitt, Dillon and others,
succeeded in modifying the land laws
and finally in bringing home rule to
an issue in the house of commons.
The agitation, of which this ticket,
of-leave man was one of the strenuous
propagators, has convulsed English
politics for t~hirty.fve years. Three
times the Irish members have been
the balance of power between the En-
glish parties in the house, twice they
have succeeded in bringing home rule
to a vote, and now as all the old lead
ers of the Irish agitation are passing
away, a measure of home rule is again
on the horizon of British politics.
Mr.. John Z. Redmond, the present
leader of the Irish party, has recently
stated that he has the promise of the
premier, Sir Henry CAMPBELL Banner
man, that Irish affairs will be dealt
with "In an adequate fashion" at the
next session of parliment. This may
or may not mean an Irish parliment
in Dublin. 1t may mea only another
clash between the lords and commons
and another appeal to the country.
However, it is anearnest that the sys-
tenn of constitutional agitation which
Parnell brought to a high point of eff
~ficiency, and which Michael Davitt
supplemented with more drastic meas
ures of opposition, is a live thing and
that the Irish question can be remov-
ed from English politics only by sat
isfying the aspirations of the Irish
people Minneapolis Journal.

The Chief stated before the caucus
es that the insurgents did not intend
