The action © of bishops yesterday in re- propositions looking to a change anor this important subject puts an end to the controversy for the present he possible attitude of the sentiment for a change was Hishop Doane’s proposi- which was a prohibition of the mar- riage of either party to a divorce—in effect, @ refusal to recognize any such thing as divoree—and Bishop Potter's proposition, which permitted the marriage of the tnno- ent party in the case of divorce for adul- tery. It is clear from the action of the bishops that there was some turning about in the voting. for the Potter amendments were first adopted and then rejected when the time came to ballot on the entire canon as amended. It may have been that the advocates of the Doane amendment, find- ing themselves beaten, voted for the old canon in preference to the temporartly suc- cessful amendment advocated by Bishop Potter and his followers. As the case now stands, a minister may marry the innocent party to a divorce after he has satisfied himself, upon inquiry, that the party is entitled to such consideration. He must, however, constitute himself a court to investigate the facts, relying upon Such testimony as he may find and upon gates livided between | becomes an American p | the | ally difficult. | &ppare the ex parte evidence of th interested. | Herein lies the difference between the ex- isting canon and that proposd by Bishop | the burden of | proof upon the person seeking marriage. According to that regulation the minister could not well be misied save by forged documents, and the facts of a divorce and of the innocence of ihe person applying | for the marriage service would be spread | on the records of the church as well as of the court. This change, it was believed, | would serve to discourage divorce to @ | certain extent by making it more difficult | to secure remarriage in the Episcopal | Church. Of course it would affect only the | members of Episcopal congregations, and { its moral influence would be limited to this extent. Yet even such an influence is de- sirable in view of the widespread evil of divorce and the nece: of some restraint in law and the church to check the growth of this menace to the social system. The Doane proposition offended the sense of justice of many persons both in and out of the church, yet it was warmly defended as the rigorous remedy required by the situation. It is argued by the advocates of severe church restrictions that much of the readiness with which the divorce courts are sought is due to the ease with which the s may remarry. jous purpose of the church is to purage divorce in the hope that greater discretion will be shown in choosing hus- bands and w and in the belief that married people will be the more faithful to their vows if the remedy of divorce is sur- rounded by severe restrictions and the op- portunity to remarry is stringently limited. Right-minded people will agree that these re worthy objects, while the subject plainly presents many serious difficulties In the of a practical settlement. The sentiment in faver of the adoption of vig- orous provisions on this subject is steadily growing in the church, and it is to be hoped that this growth is indicative of a similarly increasing sentiment outside of way the denominational lines. — > e+ —___ New American Territory. Porto Rico today becomes part of the American commonwealth, and a new era begins m the West Indies. Good govern- ment takes the place in that island of the corrupt, quitable Spanish rule, and the entire group is benefited through the with- drawal! of the influence from Madrid which stricted the development of natural jources and has been a factor for retro- gression rather than progr Porto Rico ssession by virtue ueror to reimburse of the right of the con himself for the expenses of a war. The United States did not seek the war, and would gladly have avoided the struggle. But events and the blind stubbornness of Spain made it imperative that the sword be drawn to rid the western hemisphere of Spanish influence for mis-government. Cuba was the « al object of interven- tion, and for the sake of the Cubans t country sought to drive Spain from power. This accompiished, the very principle which had operated in Cuba to require interven- tion was equally potent in Porto Rico, even though that island was not then in serious insurrection. The smoldering fires of revolt were to be seen, and the government held its own by pursuing a characteristic policy of force. The people of Porto Rico were as worthy of good government as were those of Cuba. The situation left no other logical course open but the taking of this sland, as a war indemnity as well as an of humanity, to prevent the recurrence there of the conditions which in Cuba had so loudly called for interference. Porto Rico comes into the republic tn xood condition, despite the mal-administra- tion of the Spaniards during centuries. Th island is rich and there is reason to believe that the American institutions will readily take root and speedily grow. The question of local government wili not be exception- At first a military adminis- tration will be not only justified, but neces- sitated by the upset conditions created by the charge of ownership and the presence of many elements which might lead to chaos if unrestrained by a firm hand. Eventually this process will be abandoned for a civil government adapted to the local conditions, the needs and the limitations of the people and the ultimate purposes of this country. Perhaps these purposes are as yet undefined. Generally they tend tly to the eventual creation of a territory, such as may grow into the pro- portions of a state. There is nothing In Porto Rico incompatible with the idea of statehood, taking into account the influ- ences which will surely modify the unfor- tunate heritages of Spanish rule. However this may be, the present problems are in- significant compared with those which the Cvban situation presents. Porto Rico comes into the Union in a good frame of mind, g—if the reports from the army and the commercial agencies may be credited— me American, and capable of speed- rbing the doctrines which underlie an domination. hearty welcome is extended to this agest member of the American republic, . oddly, is at th time one of the oldest settlements in the hemisphere.

All Americans will be glad to learn that “Private Bill” Anthony, the brave mari orderly who reported to Captain Sigsbee on the night of February that the Maine had been struck by a torpedo and was sink- ing, has been promoted to be a sergeant by the commanding officer of his corps. “Pri- vate Bill’ showed on that trying occasion such command of his nerves that he im- mediately became, in a certain measure, a popular hero, yet he was apparently un- affected by tha praise heaped upon him. He was a true type of the discipiine which prevails in his corps, and, in fact, in the n y and the army ofthe United States. His promotion is well conceived, and will doubtless prove beneficial to th> corps of which he 1s so noted a member. ————_ + +2 —____ It must be confessed that the absence of the war investigating commission from Washington does not cause a feeling that anything in the way of excitement is being missed. ————- +02 The Cuban government will, of course, realize that it is young yet, and be willing to take some advice. - -w30e What Mr. Quay took for plums may have been early persimmons, —_ + +2 ____ Betting Odds in New York. When th? gubernatorial campaign in New York opened the betting was decidedly fa- verable to Col. Roosevelt. The odds at first averaged two to one, and some large wagers were laid at this rate. Than, as the democratic machine began to find smooth bearings and to get Its pace, the odds gradually diminished, until today the betting is practically on even terms, with an occasional offer of ten to eight, or ten to nine on Roosevelt. There is an abund- arce of cash in sight for Van Wyck wagers at even money, and there are apparently meny takers. But suspicion has been en- gend-red in the New York breast that these bets of the last few days are not al- together genuine, that they are merely part of the campaign play of the Tammany crowd, so expert in all manner of tricks to fool th voters and to bring out the full strength of the party. It is a favorite dodge with practical politicians to take a hand in the betting in order to influence the ' less weak-kneed, on the assumption, more or Justified, that there ar? who always prefer to stand with the win- ners. It is not exsential that large sums be actually risked for this purpose. Noth- ing is easier than to force the odds up or down to suit the pleasur2 of the party man- agers by publishing far and wide the plac- ing of certain sums at certain terms, the names of the bettors being withheld “at thelr urgent request.” There is much of this kind of botting reported, and there {s © who are genuinely anxious to gamble on the chance of the election are prone, of course, to foliow the trend of ths market, so to speak, and to shape their bets and give thetr odds according to the concensus of Judgment among the fraternity. So these anonymous bets, which in nine cases out of ten are “wash’ wagers, both sides being agents of the party men in charge of the betting department, have a certain influence on the fluctuations of the gambling. ‘In this way, ft is now charged, Tammany has been steadily hammering down the Roos:- velt odds in the hope of disheartening the republicans and encouraging the democrats, and perhaps, too, in the hope of making small stakes on the sid2>. It is recognized that men generally bet according to their pclitical proclivities, but the professional gamblers have no regard for sentiment when they risk thelr money, but bet ac- cording to their judgment as to the rela- tive chances of candidates. Yet the value of their wagers as indicating the trend of opinion has been negatived of late years by these maneuvers of th> machine mana- fers, who seek to utilize the gambler's prestige among a certain class to bolster up @ weakening cause or to arouse the spirits of the partisans.

The Jaws of Defeat. “Talk about snatching victory from the jaws of defea exclaimed Senator Sorg- hum, retrospectively. “Did you ever accomplish that?” “IT should say so. The last man I had as an opponent wasted so much time talkin’ that he didn’t stand any show whatever.” Litterateur’s Confession. “To grow long hair I'm tryin’ And the reason must be plain; To become a social lion Ong of course must have a mane.” A Difficult Problem. “We must do something to make the pub- lic forget the Dreyfus affair,” said one French official. “Lt know it,” replied the other. “But there's only one way to do it, and I don’t see lw we can think up anything more scandalous to offer them.” Distinction. “Did you ever In your Ife see me with a ruflied temper?” she demanded. “Certainly not, Henrietta,” answered Mr. Meekton; “only slightly crimped now and then, that’s all.” Practical. “What do you think of this arrogant tour undertaken by the German emperor?” in- quired the grand vizier. “That's all right,” answered the sultan, as he took a sup of coffee and lit a cigar- ette. “Don’t say anything to discourage him. It'll make business good for the hotels.” Saved From the Wreck. My Uncle Jim is happy, Though he’s had some tryin’ luck; He is lively still an’ scrappy. There is nothin’ spoils his pluck. He's lost the nomination Which he thought he'd orter claim, An’ he lost some reputation, Though we love him still the same. He lost his temper sunny When he saw his comrades shirk; He lost a lot o’ money "Cause he couldn't tend to work. But he says he'll be in clover An’ he bids us all rejoice; The battle isn't over, Fur he hasn't lost his voice. ———+ +2 ___ To Sound Money Men. From the Buffalo Express. The sincere und money man must rec- ognize that party regularity is a worse ex- cuse for supporting free silver than any other. It is a sacrifice of principle for the loaves and fishe: The national democrats who indorse and support that policy this year are robbing themselves of all hope of influence in their party in 190. They are selling themselves for nothing. If they ever hope to bring the New York democra- cy back to the ground which it occupied in the spring of 1896, they must convince the Tammany machine that it needs them badly enough to indorse and stand by their principle. It cannot so master Tammany by helping to put a Tammany governor in office merely on the strength of the omis- sion of the silver question from the party platform. —— John M. Palmer’s Stand. From the Philadelphia Press. Ex-Senator John M. Palmer of Illinois, a «rim old fighting soldier of the civil war and presidential candidate In 1396, is one of the few gold democrats who has not de- serted his principles and is not afraid or ashamed to say so publicly. General Palmer announces that he cannot support the democratic party now with any better grace than In 1896, and says he will vote for the republican candidate for Congress in his district. He proposes to do as wise and corsistent an act as he did in the Tli- nols legislature in 1855, when he helped to elect a republican senator from Wlinois. Archbishop Chapelie’s Appointment. From the Providence Journal. In sending Archbishop Chapelle to Cuba the pope once more shows how good a statesman he is. Of French birth, the archbishop Is a genutge American in his ideas, and his popularity among all classes in New Orleans is amply deserved. There are delicate questions to be settled where he in going, and no mere reactionary could settle them. But Dr. Chapelle’s liberality and good sense may be counted upon ta smooth over many difficulties. —_—__+ «2 —____ ‘Trouble Ahead for the Orator. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press, The orator this fall will have a hard time. He can’t mention the name of a war “rere, republican or democratic, without sveking applause, and the applause will be just the same, whether it is for a democrat or republican. ++ Another Job for Gen.
