TRIAL MARRIAGES.

A few people of this country have be- come unnecessarily excited ever Mrs. Ella Clews Parsons doctrine of trial marriages. But for a certain promin- ence of Mrs. Parsons. the matter would hardly be noticed, and anyway it is hardly worth noticing. Yet a preacher of Los Angeles last Thursday injected the subject into a Thanksgiving ser mon and hammered it mercilessly.
 Mrs. Parsons we think, has not been quite understood in her advocacy of so- called trial marriages. Many people have understood her to be attempting a revival of free love. However. what she precisely means is of little import ance. The course of marriage and love will not be changed in an instant on the recommendation of any man or woman. What changes there may be will come with changing civilization. which is now making satisfactory for ward progress.
 The subjects of marriage and divorce have not been treated with good sense by those who have agitated them the most loudly. but in the mean time the great mass of the people have been so- ing on getting better all the time, and slowly approaching a proper solution of the relation between men and wo- men.
 T. is a,ror or a,a side to regard marriage as a wholly divine institution and divorce as an unpardonable sin. as it is on the other. to regard marriage as the possible result of a passing whim.
 There is much foolishness on the part of those enthusiasts who are seek ing to render divorce in any circum- stance difficult almost to the point of impossibility and to prevent by shame and humiliation the separation of those who ought 10 be separated. Whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder," Is not an in- junction laid upon divorce courts.
 Marriage is a solemn, but not a sacred institution. The laws of the country with respect to divorce are tending in the right direction. Divorces should be made no more difficult to obtain than they are now in most well ordered countries. But there is q grow ing disposition to prevent the encOur- agement of divorce by too favorable legislation.
 Marriage is something more. and something less than a civil contract. People enter into 1t with a few definite promises and a great many more as clearly understood. There may be a violation of one or more of those i'm piled conditions by ~the party of the first or the second part. and these vio- lations may be persisted in until a suit is brought on the ground that the con- and that it only remains for the court 10 formally abrogate it. The courts are day by day seeing their duties more clearly.
 Marriage and divorce laws at any stage of the worlds history are the product of the best human wisdom and experience prior to that time. That wisdom and experience are more valu- able guides to matrimonial well-being than the views of extremist agitators on either side.
 Regarding Mrs. Parsons plan. it de- serves only to be said that d trial mar fisge. necessarily entered upon with doubt, would almost certainly prove . failure.
