Nearly a Deadlock with Germany.

Gcrmanys note is merely rciteration of her
attitude toward neutral shipping and a fiat refusal
in tho polite terms OF diplomacy, to adopt any
measures OF her own to safeguard American lives
or American vessels in the zone which she
has defined. Since the protection of American
life and property constituted the sum and sub
stance OF warning and our demand the Ger
man reply can only be regarded as thoroughly I'M
satisfactory. Were it not for the suggestion
on the part of Germany that should use our
warships to convoy our merchantmen, the situ-
alton might we'll be regarded as deadlock. 1t
cannot be imagined for moment, however, that
the government of the United States will court
the danger involved in sending its ships of war
into the war declared by Germany. There
can be no escape, however, from the impression
that Germany has been playing game of bluff
Without a doubt she has been in the past exerting
every power at her command to block Great
Britain's control of ocean commerce. The fixing
OF date on which danger will ensuc to American
shipping is withou; serious significance. Great
Britain still controls the seas

Pennsylvania Marriage Menace.

DR.. ]. J. Welsh, the eminent surgeon, much
honorcd in Pennsylvania recently gave lecture
en- Medical Supcrstitions,' and said there could
be no progress in medical science until physicians
learn that disease and habit cannot be inherited;
that tuberculosis and drunkenness the re-
suits OF environment, predisposition and suggcs-
ton and that both durable. He denounced
the doctrine OF hercdity a silly superstition,
and declared that the men who foster it are re-
sponsibc for half the imaginary diseases that arc
sapping vitality. The doctor suggested that
the people who imagine they raise the phys-
cal standard OF by passing laws would next
attempt to explain the evolution OF genius and
try to produce it by statute. The genius has been
supplied by the author OF the bill to regulate
marriage introduced in the Pennsylvania lcgisla-
turc.
DR.. Welsh may have given much study to
these questions but who would prefer his judg-
mcnt to that OF ST 100 salaricd Doctor appointed
by the county commissioners, who is authorized
by law to permit refuse marriage to
and a woman The cugenic marriage law is
great wise and benehccnt rcfornl-for the po-
litical doctors who hope TO get the jobs and col
lect the ices well the salary. If the bill
should be adopted and prevent the marriage OF
people who have been in the bread line and soup
kitchens, as we'll as those who have accepted help
from private public institution, Pennsylvania
would become a niarriagclcss State during the
rest OF this administration, if the Hon. Hampton
Moorcs figures correct to the number of
people out OF work in the great Keystone State.

Three or four years before the
death of Parke Goodwin, at the age
of eighty-siX, I met him one morning
when he seemed disposed to entertain
me with some of his "reminiscences
AS he knew almost every one worth
knowing in America, having even
seen Aaron Burr and talked with him,
his experiences and associations were
| rich in picturesque, dramatic and
exciting incidents. Mr.. Goodwin was
Tor some years an eagerly sought
platform lecturer. He was accus-
toned TO make n winter tour which
carried him frequently as far west
as the Mississippi River. He had
personal acquaintance with all of
those who had gained great reputa =
ton as lyceum or platform lecturers
and many times compared notes with
| them, learning thereby what some of
their personal experiences were
with single exception" he said
the lyceum lecturers who made thu.
platform their vocation did this for
the purpose of earning livelihood
or of adding to an otherwise scanty
income. The single exception which
] have in mind WAS George William
Curtis. He received 4 handsome SAL
airy from Harper ~ Brothers as editor
of Harpcr's Weekly and contributed
to the magazine. think his earn
ings from that source were about
$4,000 Il year. Curtis had. however,
decided TO earn money enough to
meet what he regarded as a moral
financial obligation. although there
was no need for him TO do that He
felt morally responsible for his share
in the loss cntaiIed by the failure of
Putnam'S Magazine. Therefore he
undertook 10 earn year by year
enough money to make payments
upon notes he had given which rep
resented the debt. II took him about
thirty years to liQuidatc that indebt-
edness and every penny he earned as
4 lecturer was devoted to that pur-
pose.
"Beecher once told me that he lee
tured for the purpose of getting
money enough TO pay for and carry
on farm which he bought near
PeekskilI on the Hudson. DR. Chaplin,
who was "A very popular lecturer and
who was the first to be paid $50 for
reading a lecture. took that method
of increasing the income which he
received as pastor OF 4 prominent
church in New York. ! regarded my

through the failure of railroad
