Love of Display Causes the Decrease of
Marriage ia America.' -
The divorce rate in the United
States at present is something: like
six hundred and twelve out of every
terigthoasand marriages. Germany
lags pitifully behind us with a bare
one hundred and sixty-five, and even
France can show only eighty-six.
The fact is, the domestic life of this
country is in an appalling condition,
says the Rev. Madison C. Peters, D.
D., in the April New Idea Woman's
Magazine. Excessive fashion is one
great foe of home-making.
Why the racefor richea? For
vulgar display, great houses so
many houses as to have no home
sumptuous furnishings, costly equip
ages -these are the things that seem
to constitute for many American
women a perfect paradise in pros
pect only; for when the Eden is
gained the hot breath of a simoon
has withered the verdure and the
flowers, dried up the fountain, and
s'ain the singing-birds, and there is
little or no domestic happiness or
life.
Many a woman would be willing
to sacrifice for the sake of becoming
a man's wife, but most men who do
not marry on the pretext of economy
are persons who could marry if they
were willing to sacrifice some of
their luxurious habits and private
vices and were content to begin life
with' simple, honest, wholesome
comfort, to be increased as life went
on.
But, no; they must start where
their parents left off; they must cut
a dash; they love their pleasure too
much to sacrifice any portion of it
for domestic bliss. The sentiment
hasbecome prevalent that a man
must make his fortune before he
marries; that his wife must have no
sympathy or share with him in the
pursuit of it, in which most of the
pleasure truly consists.
This unfortunate attitude fills our
country with bachelors who are wait
ing to make their fortuneKendang
ering virtue and promoting vice; it
destroys the true economy and de
sign of the marriage institution, en
courages inefficiency among women,
who are expected to be taken up by
fortune and passively sustained
without any concern on their part.

Washington Ooc, STsar Tor Sua.
Senator Lee S. Overman, of North
Carolina, discussing the country's
condition, says there should not be
another panic, in view of the saner
and more temperate feeling that is
likely to succeed the settlement of
the great questions before the peo
ple. Senator Overman says:
''Business is always more or less
disturbed by threatened legislation
upon all those great questions which
directly affect the financial and com
mercial interests of the country.
Within the next six months the tariff
question will be settled, and whether
it is revised upon just and proper
lines in the interest of ail the people
or in the interest of the corporations
and trusts the agitation upon this
great question for a time at least
will be over.
"Within a year in all probability a
new and it is to be hoped saner, if
not a perfect, monetary system will
be adopted. Our financial system
should be so perfected that an era of
prosperity such as we have had and
such as we are to have again soon
cannot be arrested by the money
kings for their own unlawful pur
poses or by unlawful manipulations
and by jugling financiers. A money
panic should never occur again in
this country. ,
"The flow of the great stream of
trade is still turbid and credit is still
uncertain"and hesitating. Money,
however, is becoming easier and can
be borrowed on gilt edged security.
The ' diseased and feverish state of
the money market has taken on a
healthy tone. With the settlement
of these great questions which are
now agitating the country confidence
will be almost completely restored.
Many of the causes which produced
the terrible industrial depression
which has so long prevailed in this
country will be ended.
"Wildcat speculations and frenzied
financering will he discouraged and
abnormal inflation of values will be
avoided andjthe -Watering of stocks
must be stopped. Under such condi
tions, and out of it all,, in the near
future an era of prosperity, founded
upon a solid and permanent basis,
such" as we ha e never before ex
perienced in this country, is bound
to come.
"Congress and the Legislatures of
the different States, while still safe
guarding the rights of the peoplo in
all respects from unlawful manipula
tions and combination by which
they are being continually robbed, at
the same time will be just to the
corporations, and in the interest of
the great eommercia! development
will be more conservative, and will
enact only soch measures as will aid
in the building up rather than de
stroying, of encouraging rather than
crippling, and of uplifting rather
than retarding its growth.
"This spirit seems to be abroad in
the land, and the people will demand
that the laws which have already
been enacted for their benefit shall
be enforced before other more dras
tic legislation shall be enacted. The
greatest encouragement must be
given to the building of more rail
roads for the opening op of new
fields for developm nt.
"In the South we are just entering
upon the threshold of a wonderful
development. The marvelous ipd us
trial progress of that section fdr ten
years prior to the panic, which was
so disastrously arrested, will begin
again upon larger and wider possi
bilities. Profiting by this spirit of
development: already begun our
people are practically out of debt,
and the old conditions under which
they suffered and remained poor are
forgotten and no longer exist, and
with its great industrial resources
and advantages of agriculture min
ing and manufacturing Its future
greatness cannot be - measured, or
told.
"The tide of immigration is begin
ning to turn in that direction to open
up the millions of acres of land lying
mere awaiting the homesteader.
Her magnificent water powers, now
wasting, are to be harnessed to give
cheaper electricity, to give power to
thousands of factories to be built to
work up her raw material. No sec
tion of our country is richer in un
opened wells of oil and natural gas,
beds of coal and iron, mines of gold
and copper and splendid fertilizing
potentiaities. Her annual crop of
of 12,000,000 bales of cotton enriches
her every year $600,000,000. She is
soon to become one of the greatest
fruit and truck producing centres in
the world.
"Capitalists should not hesitate to
invest their money in this great sec
tion. Not only will splendid returns
be given upon the amount so in
vested but those who come can -feel
that no hostile legislation will be en
acted to discourage and cripple in
vestments. There will be no fight
there between capital and labor.
The negro question is settled, sec
tional feeling is no more, and the
stranger-ia welcomed alwasjtu

There is no sane man who does not
know that we will get mure money
for ten million bales than we will for
fifteen million bales. The history of
the past twenty years is proof po.
tive of this statement. We all know
that a large crop of cotton means a
low price, and that a low price for
cotton means poverty and wretched
ness all over the South. This being
true, why will Southern farmers and
their wives and children work In
