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

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.

Y.nkville. July 14.?In the Court of
General Potslona Tuesday the case of
the state against Efi. II. Russell, W*
v. Russell et ai.. charged with a*
vault and battery with intent to 1 ill
and carrying Concealed weapons, was
tried. There were four counts, all
tried at ?ne time.
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. Potts a policeman of Fort
Mill, was tried for the killing of a
negro at that place some weeks ago.
and was acquitted.
Cyrus Dunlap and Joe Burton, col?
ored, were tried for housebreakinir
and larceny. Burton was found not
guilty and Dunlap found guilty and
sentenced to the state reformatory
for the period ? f seven years.

YorkvUle, July 14.?Judge Mem
minfer's remarks In dismissing the
i jury in the Bussoll case were sub?
stantially that if the jury saw fit to
acquit men who had shot other men
it was not his atfair. but that when
r e n were acquitted of carrying con?
cealed weapons, the charge- not being
denied, the verdict would be laughed
at from one end of the country to the
other. He did not intend to allova
hove el. 0' made i idle ulod^'^iat
tver might be the fate of the Jury,
lie then dismissed the jury and or
% dcred a special venire.
Opinion differs as to the propriety
and justice of the judge's action It |g
held by some that the charge that,
the weap >ns were "concealed" as al?
leged In the indictment was not as*
. tablished by the testimony. Others
uphold the judge and applaud him.
