JULY 17. 190 nlBBOBS AND BIWBCi? THE CARDINAL COMMENDS sol I II CAROLINA'S STAND. Declares Doctrines of Christ Are Still Applicable to Matrimonial Condi lions in This Country, Baltimore) July 14.--Cardinal Gib? bons, In an Interview today, replied to remarks Of Former Supreme Court Justice Henry Brown on the subject Of divorce before the Maryland Bar AJMOCiation at Old Point Comfort last v ek. The cardinal bald: "Justice ?Brown has taken excep? tion to my views on divorce and mar rl ige? He is reported to have re? ft nod to the ounder of the Ch t; n religion as an 'idealist.* whoso sentiments, while suitable to less fav? ored times and circumstances, are not adapted to this enlightened age. "The learned jurist will permit mo tt> say that the teachings of Christ have been the basis of all Christian legislation for nearly 1,000 years and continue to be the light and guide of hundreds of millions of soul-. And there Is no subject which He treats more fully and clearly than the Ques? tion of marriage,, the foundation-stone of our family and social life. "In three of the gospels he permits the unity of marriage and permits separation of a married couple only in the cause of adultery. 1 do not see why a law which has been enforcd and cordially accepted in every ag< and country where Christianity dom? inates* should be considered obsolete or impracticable In the United States. The multiplication of divorces, '*the 'cardinal continued, Mle largely ascribed by some writers, not to our divorce laws, but to the eager and recklvss manner In which ministers of God officiate at marriage services. Bin are not these persons confound? ing cause for effect? Divorces are multiplied not by ministers who will? ingly assist at ill-assorted marriages, but because loose legislation on mat? rimony makes it easy for married pa: ' 3 to annul the man inj" bond. "If the civil laws of all our Statei ***?vr^ ? ? ?'. hi :. j arw in bMath Carolina and in Canada, the persons contemplating rnavrriage would serl? oualy and prayerfully reflect; they would study each other'* disposition* ami temperament before engaging in B Contract whivh WOUld bad them for life.

Godfrey. 1 Truth's." 9 Sew Seri THE IM A isfc f> TAIUPP. A Measure That w ill Satisfy Kelthcrl political Party, Nor the Masses of Tlie Country. A w< ii Informed newspaper syn? dicate correspondent in Washington, makes the following observations re? garding the tariff bill now in confer? ence: It is not necessary to go to Demo? cratic sources for condemnation of the tariff bill as passed by the senate. The explanation of those Republican senators who have sought to prevent the adoption of the numerous senate increases, as made on the floor of the senate during the two hours proceed? ing the final vote, contain all the con? demnation which any Democratic or j ator could desire and they will doubt less be freely used on the stump in the next campign. When as staunch a Republican as Senator Beveridge. of Indiana, whose party loyalty none can question, deems it necessary to charge his party with violating Its sacred pledges to the people, and to vote against a great party measure like the tariff bill it affords abundilnt evidence to the average man of the character of that measure. Many Republicans, including some who voted for the tariff bill, hope and expect that great improvement Will be worked In the bill in conference, not as the result of any special dis p< sit ion on the part of the conferees to revise the tariff downwards but be? cause of the avowed intention of the president to exert his powerful in? fill t nee to secure the acceptance by the senate of all the house reductions, and by the house of all the senate re? ductions. It is still tOO early to war? rant any prediction as to the result of the president's Influence but that he Will do all In his power short of veto? ing the bill to prevent \hn final en? actment of the high rates imposed by the senate Is certain. Xo sooner had the confer IOCS been appointed than ti.o president request? ed some of tViem to come to tho White House Where he expressed to them his views ; s to the necessity of re1 isji ;r tju* t.*.ri? . krwuwavV ? .vii'? ont attempting "^o go inio detail. Judge Taft pointed to the general condemnation which has been visited or the senate bill and urged his party associates to so modify the bill In conference as to obviate that criti? cism as far as possible. It is a not? able fact, however, that under the rule? governing conferrces they are authorised first to deal only with those subjects where the two house differ, and secondly, they are limited In their action to the extremes ol such differences. For Instance, taki the case of print paper. The house fixed a rate of $2 a ton. The senaU fixed a rate of $4 a ton. Whatever nay be the judgment of the confer roes they cannot increase th<* duty a love $4 nor lower it below $2. lTn de? these circumstances, while there i ] considerable room for betterment, na startllngly radical Improvement can be effected In the tariff bill. I Ar- if to insure- tlie maintenance Ol the higher rates of duty. Speaker Can? non added Representative Fa.liny, probably the stoutest high protection? ist in the house, to the list of con ferrees, although by that addition tin house con ferrees exceed those of tlie senate by one. Mr. Fordney, it wiii be recalled, led the fight in tin house for the highest possible duty on lumber and it is expected that he will contest every effort of Chairman Payne to compel the senate to accept the lower duties of the house. f \1 OULD OUTX \\V SPORTS. fieorgln Legislators object to Colic ISawe Ball and Fn ?1 Bull.

The jury, composed of good. InteUt* gi nt men from the town and coun? try, took the record to their room and it Is said they agreed to a verdict of acquittal on the first ballot. Wednes? day morning Judge Memmingcr had this jury empanneled again and after a talk to them excused them from further attendance at this term. He then ordered the si eriff to have a new venire of 17 ;urors drawn to serve for the rest of the week. The case grew out of a row that occurred1! at Thzah picnic last summer, between the Russells and two oi three young men named Robinson, s I Mr. D. V.
