CoNGnrss AND DrvonCns.

The coming session of Congress will be again called on to wrestle with the subject of enacting uniform divorce laws for all the Union. We appre- hend that it will be drmcult to ngree on such legislation for two reasons. It will be opposed by those who hold that marriage and divorce should be governed entirely by State jaws. These are the loyal believers in the rights ot the States, of whom there are still some left in and out of Congress. and they will probably oppose Federal leg islation on the subject.
 Another ground of disagreement, we apprehend, may be founded n the fact that the divorce laws dine" so widely in the different States. We believe there is no legal ground tor divorce in South Carolina. while in some of the newer States almost any excuse will pass, and divorces are almost as easy as buying a pig. It may happen that members from different States. act ing from a feeling of loyalty to those who elected them. will not be willing to support law which may radically differ from the laws of their own States. The only way to get a bill through Congress will be for members to make concessions. It may also be difficult for so many lawmakers to agree on what shall constitute legal ground for divorce. The New York Times says of this part of the aues- tion:
 There can really be no honest Ques. tfon about these: That all divorces proceedings shall be held in open court. that q permission to remarty shall not become operative for some aecen. m terval after the entry of the decree: that no divorce fairly suspectaoie ol being held 4collusive. or granted Tor violation of conJugal rights which mas been condoned; that the solicitation or divorce cases shall be made crime all these are excellent provisions. The" night we'll he, and tbev possibly arc. supplemented by stricter requirements vice of summons than nov in many States prevail
 Whatever may be the different 'iews held in Congress when they come te consider this subject, and however strong may be the opposition of thosa who insist that the several Statea should control these matters, there ought not to be any difference of opin- ion as to the inconsistency and inade- auacy of present laws. Whether we contend that Congress should control or that all should be left to the States there ought not to be any question or controversy about two things. valid marriage in one State should be valid in all the other States, and legal divorce in one State should be recog- nized as legal by all the others. Wheth- CT it is possible for these two desirable conditions to come through State legis- D lation, or whether they can only be had by Federal legislation, it might be difficult to say, but no one should dispute the proposition that marriage and divorce should be uniform in all the States and Territories. Just what Congress can or will do on the subject remains to be seen.

Our Coming Development and the
 South.

 Baltimore Sun.
 In his address on October to the Chicago Commercial Association. MT. James J. Hill. the eminent and broad minded railway magnate or the Northwest, reverted to the topic of intensive farming discussed by him a few weeks ago. By the middle of tho present century, Mir. Hill repeats. our population will be more than 2OO,- 100000, and our present area or cul- tiyable land will be inadequate for it's sustenance, unless the product per acre be greatly increased by improv. ed methods of cultivation. We shat cease to be large exporters of grain and other food products, needing them for home consumption. Our forests. ore mines, coal mines and oil wells are now being prodigally drawn up on. and fifty. years hence we will be approaching exhaustion We are at present supplying the whole woria with our natural products, but this cannot continue, unless science has unsuspected secrets which she will by 1850 have divulged for our benefit. We shall accordingly, it is urged, by l3oo, ..be thrown back upon the soil-thn cnly resource of mankind capable of indefinite renewal
 Conceding tho gcn-al truth of MT. HilPs argument. and noting his spec jal reference to the Northwest, it may he observed thatit bears forci biy upon the question of availability of the fer file lands of Maryland and tie south ern States generally for the larger populatltn and improved farming pf inc future There is a wide area of fertile and thinly settled land await irg development in the Soutf ani Southwest, as hosts of Northern farm CTS have already discovered to their Lrofit MT. Hill refers to an expected addition of 60,OG0,0Od acres of the put- lie domain in the far West by irriga- tioh-enoush to sustain d population of 5000, ,0c0-but he forgets to consid- CT the vastly lar"er ,arca of swamp sld marsh lands awaiting reclamation along the border of the coastal plains from Virginia to Texas, and caFable Of sustaining population of from oc. tOO,COO to 75,000,000 It is in the Mid Gle and Southern States of the lnlon, indeed, that extensive farming Wlii produce its best results and supply food for the greatest increase of pop ulation. So far, these sections haNe been comparat lively neglected by ths foreign aomeseeker The majority of Immigrants have been diverted py exceptional and temporary causes to more indictment regions. with the re" suit that the Soutn ras obtained US increment chiefly from the Northern States. and has. ea silly assimilated it's new citizens. Conservatism is val uable national asset. and the south IS conservative. It may be hoped, there fore, that the coming exploitation or Southern soil and other natural re- sources will be ample and rapid out lot so hurried as to prevent southern conservatism for continuing to pro- duce wholesome assimilation often cons picuous hy its absence in the Northwest.

THAT GREAT MAN.
The Albany (Ga) Herald is somewhat disturbed in the region of It's think works, and thus moralizes:

The Albany (Ga.) Herald is somewhat disturbed in the region of It's tnink works, and thus moralzes:
 When the President sails for Pan ama he will be conveyed. He has se- lected the battleShip l.ouistana one or the brides of the navy. for his nag ship; but the Louisiana alone might not meet fully the exacting require- ments of the occasion. So the Wash ington and the Tennessee. two U. Uncle Sans new armored Cruisers ami the most powerful war craft or thels type afioat, are going along as con voys. In time of war 1t has long been customary for prudent nations to send conveys of warships with -ichly-iadet merchantmen, but tris conveying or tirely new. Even the King of Eng land, the Emperor of Germany and the ever-terrified Car of Russia do not hesitate to sail European seas in their ing battleships and cruisers. Why, then, Is not the President of the United States to be considered safe in Ameri can waters in battleship-ln an ur- armed pleasure yacht, even?
 But when Mir Rooseselt goes down to take a peep at the Isthmus and canal operations. he needs must be guarded by three of the most formid;; Stripes; for some imprudent captai,. of a lumberladen schooner or tramp steamer might-who knows ~-sail too close to the presidential flagship. and 1t would then become the painful duty of the conveying squadron tO blow ti.c intruder out of the water.
 And all this causes us to wonder how long it will be before the presl- dential armored train makes its ap- pCarance.
 These be parlous times esteemed contemporary. and we must keep on | these United States have not hesitlted to go out on the waters in an ordinary sailing vessel. and did not consider it necessary to have any con"oying done. There has rarely if ever, been a Presi dent who had r.ore 10 say about cour" age. or who has had more credit from his admirers for bravery, yet 1t seems that he cannot venture on trip to Panama without warship to go on and two others to go along for his
 protection. Perhaps armored. bomb proof trains may com next. But is it really lack of physical cour- 1 age that induces him to traNel in such | state? Is it not rather due to his exalted sense of his own greatness. and to the toadysm of the army Of | sycophants who seek to place him oh a pedestal that no predecessor has be- fore occupied? Between his opinion of | himself and the adulatiou of his I,fatterers. he bids fair to cause plain, | old-fashioned Americans to ask; "ITpoN l what meat doth this, our Caesar feed. ! that he hath grown su great?" l.; | really begin. to look as if Roosevelt. l will, before long. be the limit.

Gold From the Sea.

The clectrolytic recovery of gold from sea water is still a dream of many European chemists. A. Nodon proposes to use as electrodes sheets of copper and lead or lead and cast iron. each about one-twenty-fifth of an inch in thickness. and to surround these plates with porous canvas bags for collecting the gold that falls to adhere The baths, within reach of the tide. would have d depth of two me ters and a width Of ten meters tabout thirty-three feetD With cement parti- tions every forty meters, battery of 100 such baths could he run together and it is caluculated that this would furnish l5O grams of gold per day of twelve hours. Tn this time. 5000 cu- bic meters of water would be treated a current of 5000 ampereS at 2.5 volts being required. The annual cost Is es- tfmated at sl2 o00 and the profits are figured at s20,OOo on a capital of sio,- 900.

thought by the local authorities that
there VIII be few changes which VIII
be made in the time Of trains as they

it is asked of them that they send to

In accordance with this request, the
railroad authorities~here are going TO
suggest that the Pawpaw accommo-
