ANOTHER LOCAL
OPTION MEASURE.

Trenton, March "a "A new local
option bill bobbed up in the House to-
day. B. Frank Buck, Assemblyman
from Cumberland county, is the author
of the new measure. 1t provides:
THAT in any municipality not i n
cluding a county, whenever majority
of the voters shall file petition with
the court or other licensing body
against the granting of any licenses for
the sale of intoxicating liquors such
court or body, after canvassing such
petition, shall refuse to grant or renew
licenses for two years and until pc
tition in favor of granting licenses
signed by majority of the voters shall
be presented. The sale of liquor for
medicinal purpose is excepted, and also
the sale of alcohol for chemical and
manufacturing purpose by druggists :"
The bill was referred to the Commit
tee on Judiciary.
This means that in wet munich
pality, not including the county, liquor
selling may be eliminated if a majority
of legal voters sign the petition, while
a dry" community may be given
licensed saloons if majority of the
voters sign petition therefor.
The bill sets forth the form of petit
tion and provides for the canvass of the
petition by the licensing power after it
is filed. 1t is made a misdemeanor for
any person to sign unlawfully petit
tion as qualified voter.
The bill was drawn and introduced
for the anti-saloon league, as was the
Crosby bill, which went down to de-
feat last week.

County Clerk Sheldon will be glad of
a law which has just gone into effect.
1t will give him opportunity to make
something of house cleaning. The
law referred to provides that registry

WOOD USED
FROM WAR VESSEL.

The New Jersey society of the D. A.
R. is making preparations to hand
somely furnish the New Jersey room
in the D. A. R. building at Washing
ton, D. c., with wood taken from the
old frigate Augustine. The frigate
was one of the first vessels sunk during
the Civil war and was raised about a
year ago.
The hoat was on the property of one
of the members of the society and she
had experts examine the wood and
they pronounced it of the best. The
majority of it is ebony and it is in an
excellent state of preservation.
The wood was taken to sawmill
and cut into many pieces so that it
would have chance to dry. All of
the big iron screws were rusty and
We're easily removed
The wood has been drying out since
last June and the society hopes to have
it thoroughly dry by July and then be-
gin the work of furnishing the room.
All of the mantles and trimmings in
the room will be made from the wood
of the cid ship. What timber is left
over will be made into furniture for
the room. The room will be in the
Jacobs style of architecture.
The original states will have rooms
in the national building, which is
situated opposite the treasury depart
ment. The government donated the
land for the purpose.
The coat of arms of the original
states will be placed in the respective
rooms. A North Carolina woman will
have the coat of arms reproduced from
the originals. The New Jersey seal is
now in the General Mercer room in
the Old Barracks.

ASSASSINATION.

The world was shocked in reading on Sunday
morning that anarchists had assassinated the King
Of Portugal and the Crown Prince. The avowed
aim and object of anarchy is to destroy all govern
ments. Those no-government schemers and plotters
are cursed in heaven and on earth Satan who re-
belled against his Creator, originated anarchy and
tlEy who hate all forms of government are his lin
cal descendants. Man must be governed, and the
representative of the government, be he king en-
peror president, is bound see that the author
ity of the law is respected that violence and law
lessness are kept in check and the peace of society
preserved Without government, society could. not
exist Hence the right of all people to demand that
government be instituted and its various branches
constitutionally established The murderers of the
late King of Portugal and the organization of
which they were members have no other aim in life
but the destruction of all government. The cause
of those monstrous evils is want of faith in God and
future punishment. When people lose faith in God
in heaven, in Justice in Christian charity and eter-
nifty, society is doomed to decay The meeting of
anarchists in Chicago last Monday where assas-
sination Of King Carlos and President Mckinley
applauded. should serve as an object lesson to
every loyal citizen of the United States Their ex-
istence is menace to free government.

HE CURSED GOD

A few days ago helpless paralytic an unhappy
man whose was John Chana, committed sui
eide in his miserable home at Potttstown. Pa.
Chana was at one time a fine specimen of physical
manhood. He was sinful man, possessed Of
great strength One day, Infatuated at his contin-
ued ill-luck in the presence of few boon com
panions Chana began to abuse the name of God
shamefuly and finally cursed his Creator and de-
fed him. Then Chana dropped as drops a steer
when struck with the sedge of the slaughter house.
and when they lifted him up his body was limp and
the man paralyzed. Then he ended all by destroy
ing himself, mutiated his body leaving it loath-
thing to look upon, and be went like Judas

THE SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE.

we notice our morning and evening journals
give special departmental space to Births Mar
rlages and Deaths. Why not include divorces
and. let it read Births, Marriages. Divorces
Deaths! Divorce is almost as common rs
marriage, and will always have an absorbing interest
for prurient public Lecky in his History of
European Morals tells us there are six stan
dards by which a community may be measured.
Among these he includes Respect for the sane
tity of marriage" Religion he tells us is the only
incentive to noble deeds and lofty endeavor when
all else totters. Once that the love of religion
ceases to exist or to exert an active influence on
human souls, marriage becomes a mockery. true
liberty and progress desert the nation the citizens
reconcile themselves to their abiect lot and M
longer strive against evil The sanctitv of mar
riage is the keystone of society, supporting tbe
arch on which society rests
Whatever else the state interferes with. this
ought not to be touched, for Christ. our Lord
Himself said: "Those whom God has Joined to-
gether let no man put asunder." valid marriage
can only be dissolved by the Angel of Death. No
power on earth-much less in hell-can dissolve
the validity of marriage
The history of the world is one LONG testimony
to the inevitable corruption of morals when tho
sanctity of marriage ceases to be respected The
denominations of Roman society in its decline the
orgies of the Court of Louis XIV. and Pbin
kgalite are just, if extreme, examples of a world
vide truth 1t is to be feared that the same spirit
which gave birth to this softness and luxurianee in
the past is on the increase among ourselves. Manv
are the indications that the tide of public and pri
vate morality is on the ebb in the American com
monwealth, Notwithstanding our education and

ironical the result is logical If the nation is
to survive as Christian nation, and if the ethics
of the Christian faith to endure, protest must
be entered against this new attack upon the foun-
daton of our civilization. If sectarianism is too
radical to permit the restoration of Catholic
teaching g the public schools at least the Catholic
people ecan unite with their Protestant friends in
restoring Christ as the Redeemer of the world not
withstanding the protests of as ancient and
honorable as the Jews. Otherwise the denomina-
tional churches must follow the example of Catholi
cism, abandon in large part the "non-sectarian"
educational facilities provided by the public purse,
and support private institutions of learning where
in Christ, the Son of God, shall forever be the
foundation upon which all education is based

look for them. General symptoms are, however, SUI
fcienty obvious. The liberation by society OF IN
cestuous unions the plea that they are legal;
the torrents of pollution openly pouring in and out
through the doors of divorce courts at once the
cause and effect of their own degradation the
shameful uncleanness of our matrimonial legisla-
ton the scarcely yelled apologies for unhoE living
and unholy men put forward by leading represen-
tatves of public opinion; the low worldly CONNER
cia spirit in which marriages are arranged and
broken off; above ALL perhaps, the appalling growth
of abortion and child murder-all these things are
true warnings that the strata of unhoy and ar
tiicia state of society are infected with moral rot
tenness.
A general sinking of the surface tells of un-
soundness beneath and taking all things into ac-
count the thoughtful man cannot hesitate to place
a cotempt for the sacredness of marriage and
wide departure from the rule of Christian purity
as among the noticeable features of a decaying
manhood and womanhood.
There are two forms of sin marked out in the
Word of God for special condemnation, and there
fore as specially pernicious
"The Lord knoweth how to reserve the unjust
unto the day of judgment; but chiefly them that
walk after the flesh and despise authority" Many
passages in the Second Epstle Of ST. Peter seem to
point to these two classes of sins, as invested with
peculiar maignity and in some way specially indie
alive of the last great apostasy There is something
exceedingly remarkable III the way in which law
lessness-that is, contempt for the word of Cod
and sensuaity are laid at The root of all other sins
by st. Paul in his first chapter of his Epistle to
the Romans. First the rebel rejection of God and
His service next as immediate result, the abysses
of impurty and dsrespect for MARRIAGE lastly, as
the immediate result the long catalogue of sins with
which the chapter concludes And in the Second
Epistle of Timothy, when drawing a similar pic
ture of what yet remains to be revealed the Apostle
adds that of this sort are the seducers who creep
into houses and lead captive silly women laden
with SINS led away with divers luss y men of Cor
rupt minds, who resist the truth reprobate concern
ing the faith" So leading us on to the palmer de
lineations of their character by Saints Peter and
Jude.
Of Lamech, the accursed, only two facts are men
toned; first that he departed from the original law
of marriage, having married again while his only
wife was living; second, that he murderer.
Thoughtful non-C Catholics are at last coming TO
agree with that the law which prohibits divorce
is attended with much less inconvenience for the
peace of families than the law which permits it.
