THE WILMINGTON. MESSENGER: FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1897. 2 JACKSON & BELL COMPANY. FRIDAY. MAY 7, 1897. THE BAPTIST CONVENTION. Today the Southern Baptist Conven--tlon meets with the first Baptist church in this city. It is the largest, most im posing: religious body in the south, and lias no rival in the north unless it, be -ol gathering of northern Baptists. It Is a. reperesentative body of the whole family of Southern Baptists but not a ;ieglslative body. Its growth during the last half century has been immense The census of 1890 gave the total of Baptists in the United States at 3,712, 413, with 42,909 churches, each separate, governing itself and independent. The "3mrch property was valued at$82,328, 23. We searched the big almanacs of 3296 and 1897 for later statistics, but they gave almost everything else, -omitting that which would specially Interest Christians. The Southern Bap tists in 1890 numbered 1,276,491 members whites) with 16,206 congregations and property valued at $18,152,599. The col ored members were 1,352,564, with church property valued at $9,082,587. The Baptists of the world in 1894 were . stimated by the English hand book - at 4,136,152. The increase since 1890 in the United States is very large, but we are unable to give the latesV reports this morning. The Southern Baptists are an united, enthusiastic, working body , bence their growth and power. They have given special consideration to education in the last half century. They liave the most colossal theological .school on the continent, at Louisville, Ky. The white Baptist congregations of the south own .and conduct twenty- - one colleges and alivSnity schools; some - of which have gained international reputation for high scholarship and ex- - cellence of management. The enor mous aggregate capital the denomina tion has invested In these institutions of learning, their equipment, their en dowment, etc., is not included in the Item "church property," above noted. At this time their educated ministry is very strong,, both numerically and in equipment. They have In great force educators and ministers who are grad uates of both literary colleges and uni versities and of theological schools. They count by the thousand in the south. They have rrien of his1 scholar ship, authors of real parts, preachers of rare power and true eloquence. Their influence upon this country and its fu ture destiny is most potent. As factors for good they command the respect of intelligent people who understand the 1 facts. They represent much of the wealth, and intelligence of the south. The number of white people of all ages under their teaching and influence count by mil nanswprobably not less than 5,000,000 - and it may be 6,000,000. The Baptist people are ' staunch friends of liberty civil and soul liberty. ' They can be counted on generally to stand by the great fundamentals of a Tree government. They deserve the at- v. tention of all students of policies and civics. The great body that is within pur gates today is one to command -and to deserve the respect of all and the hospitality of every one who is ,-able to render it! The Messenger gives them cordial greeting a most hearty and brotherly welcome. It hopes thir . stay among us will be profitable to them and the great cause they repre sent, and that their time here may be : full of pleasure and Interest, and their recollections of Wilmincton in the years to come may be of unalloyed sat-; . isfaction. May they make new and abiding friendships. The Messenger office is central and easily accessible, The proprietors ten vio... v.a nao nf their Daper to all the delegates and the friends who shall at-" ' .tendTfor making known their wishes -and wants. They invite all of the offi cials of the great body to command us at will, to make themselves entirely at nome and to lend us their assistance in all proper ways that the proceedings and events of the session may be fully reported, and even in the minutest par ticulars. We desire to give to them and the public a complete report and of all that shall be of interest or im portance to their denomination, to Christians at large and to the greater public. acy against social order and the sacred- ness of the marriage relation." The case happened in the enlightened . and self-complacent north. - The chief actor is a man of large means and "great prominence in social and political af fairs," but he is evidently a cold blooded monster who is dominated by a vicious propensity. The story we take from an editorial , in The New York Evening Post. It says: "A man of, great" prominence in the business and political affairs of New Jersey deserted-his wife and family and went to Oklahoma, where he procured a divorce In the territorial courts which virtually sell decrees to any person who will pay the cash price for them. The wife of one of his confidential employes did the same thing about the same time. The two then returned to New Jersey and contracted a marriage, and are now living in Trenton in the mansion for merly occupied by the man and his first wife. Tne latter, aesenea ana uis honored for no known reason, is living in a neighboring cottage with her chil dren, where they are witnesses of the shameless perfidy which has wrecked their home and brought scandal upon two households." We heartily agree with the able New York city evening daily that this exam ple, so low, so brazen, so venal, In a plea for a divorce reform for the speedy adoption of a national law as to divorces. We say we agree to this, providing it can b'e done without vio lating the rights and muniments of the several states. We suppose if a na tional bankrupt law or an inter-state railroad law' could be passed by the federal congress that it is also com petent to enact a general law control ing divorces in all the states. The Messenger will not designedly and will ingly favor any law by congress that is really an infraction of reserved rights of the states. The Evening Post presents a legal point bearing upon the greatly wronged wife in New Jersey. It says most pertinently: "The question, therefore, is whether the courts of New Jersey will destroy these rights and dprive the deserted wife of her vested interests by affirm ing the legality of the 1 Oklahoma di vorce. To do that would declare in ef fect that the property rights of married women in New Jersey could be put to destruction by a divorce court in a dis tant territory. It would punish the de serted wife for the sins of the faithless husband, and render mothers and chil dren powerless to protect themselves and their property from conspiracy and robbery." , Is it right, is it just, is it desirable that the divorce law of Illinois or Okla homa, or any of the other states with loose divorce law,shall enter into other states and settle the question of mar riageshall disrupt the bonds and favor wrong doing and rascality? The New York paper says that if the "Oklahoma divorce is upheld by the courts of New Jersey it will mean that married women have no property rights in the estates of their husbands which the law is bound to respect. We do not believe it will be upheld. The principle of it is wicked, unjust and repugnant to every sense of Uw&lUUt . A CORRESPONDENT ON TRENT. PUBLIC OPINION. Some two or three years ago, perhaps it was, Professor Trent published his life of William G. Simms, of South Caro lina, It was very offensive to ills ad mirers and friends. We have not read the book being, repelled by the criti cisms upon it. Capt. Samuel A. Ashe took occasion to sive it a rattling, rak ing review at he time, but it escaped our notice. It stirred the friends of the university of the south, but the young and gifted Professor retained his place. The merited excoriation may not have diminished his grip upon the guardians of the institution. But of that we are not informed. At any rate the gifted author is still there and has sent forth his second work in which able men of the south are phihpped if not villi pended. A gentleman of the Episcopal church has written us thanking us for our recent editorial on Professor Trent's last ; unfortunate book. The News and Courier sharply criticises him for his last book, but if we are not mistaken, it failed to take him to task for the assault upon Simms so covetly made. Our correspondent re fers to him as "the rascal." He says I am tolerant enough of opinions di vergent from my own but there per vades his life of Simms a mean, sinis ter, fiendish hatred of the excellent things of the anti-bellum South; and his disregard of truth is an insult to the intelligence of the reader." He points to some of Trent's sly ways of stabbing his subject, and gives quota tions to show that "all through the book is the same false suggestion. It is this falsehood in the man that makes it so contemptible and despicable that Sewanee can tolerate such a miserable worm among, its faculty." A really gifted man of letters when false to his people and the cause they espouse is capable of working much injury for he will be quoted by the enemies "of the South as a true witness, who pene trates the weaknesses of Southern character and the cause that was so bravely espoused, and who exposes the fallacy . and unwisdom. He will : be no doubt read with pleasure by the South haters and if he will settle in Connecti cut, as Cable did, he may be lionized for a season and enjoy a few months "immortality." When fevers and other epidemics are around safety lies in fortifying the system with Ayes Sarsaparilla. A person having thin and impure blood is in the most favorable condition to "catch" whatever disease may be float ing in the air. Be wise in time. If the Macon Telegraph takes t he position that all the complaints of agri cultural effect, and not sincere, but were used simply as a basis for revolt agains t the old parties, then' what has It to say. of the declaration of the ad vance agent ox prosperity himself in his inaugural address? President Mc- Kinley said: "Economy is demanded in every branch of the government at all times, but especially in periods like the present of depression in business, and distress among the people. The de pressed condition of industry on the farm, and in the ability of the people to meet the demands upon them, etc." Now was President McKlnley keep ing up. the campaign thunder and ad mitting a depression which does not exist, just for party clap-trap, or was he speaking without knowledge of the real situation as it is known to exist by The Telegraph and 'President Brown? Augusta Chronicle. What effect," he was asked, "will Mr. Cleveland's speech have on the fu ture of the democratic party?" "None whatever," he replied. "No democrat cares What he thinks and what opinion! he expresses. He has separated himself from the party which he traitorously betrayed, and for his own peace of mind and that of his family he should remain in the state of innocuous desuetude to which he has relegated himself by his own acts. JJe has no future in the democratic party, and his following, if any, will disap pear as the mist before a summer sun. With the whole administration behind him in 1896, he could not force his opin ions on his party; without such a pow er, his opinions now are not likely to have any weight. No man ever evac uated the presidential chair so .thor oughly detested "by both parties as he was. This is true not only of-the poli ticians. The rank and file cannot even now mention his name without their faces flushing with rage at the manner he has betrayed a confiding party." Senator Morgan on Cleveland. The straight party democrats are also very frank in their expressions. Sen ator Gorman, of 'Maryland, said: "I have not read the published reports of Mr. Cleveland's speech with any degree of attention. I glanced at the headings In the morning papers, and cursorily read enough of the speech to see that it was the characteristic Cleveland speech adroitly adapted to the occa sion, full of wholesale ; vituperations and iconoclastic utterances. Mr. Cleve land has spoken. His individual and isolated position in the political world Is well enough understood, and the country at large receives his declara tions as they have been accustomed to do of late, mildly Interested and rather amused, but the number of democrats who are Influenced by his words is small indeed- Mr. Cleveland assails everybody so generously that few can hear him Without feeling a personal affront. His speech exhibits as well as anything he has ever said his pen chant for demolition and his utter ina bility to construct or reform. The dem ocratic party naturally does not look to Mr. Cleveland as a leader, and I can not think that the speech of last night will interest the rank and file in the POINTED PARAGRAPHS. , : It now appears that, about all that the "sick man of the East" needed was for some one to stir him up a little.- Houston Post.

THE ANNEXATION SPIRIT. There is a disposition upon the part of a clas in the north to do away with the long pursued course of the United States, avoiding foreign complications and conquests, and to branch out on a Quixotic career of intermeddling and annexation. This republic is great enough in size now. It is so wide and extended that it is a serious problem with thoughtful students of passing events and modern Jjistory whether it The actual deficit for the current can possibly hold together for another year ending 30th of June next, is esti- Good reports come from Washing to.

There are so many sec tional antagonisms, such a large infu sion of foreign people, especially in the west, who know but little of free insti tutions, such a growing conflict between capital and labor, and such a steady growth of extravagance and taxation burdens and official corruption that re flecting, observing men who know something of other civilizations and epochs in history have come to think if it is possible to keep together under a republican-democratic form of govern ment ,such opposing, divergent, crude. selfish.- incapable elements. , The last development in the way of departure from the old landmarks of government is to annex Hawaii filled with a few whites and thousands of Ig norant natives. The late minister to that unimportant part of the world, Mr. John W. Foster, has published a pam phlet (a lecture delivered) 'which is in tended to foster and make popular the idea of annexation. It is in the form of an historical resume.

The awful disaster that has befellen Paris by which perhaps 150 people were killed and many more injured will awaken sympathy the world over.

Since then France has been figuring more and more prominently in the con cert. At the present time it'is in Paris that talk of intervention and of peace is centred, and it is from the Quai d'Orsay that the sultan receives his warning not to proceed too far in his Invasion of Greece. Whether that warning was the warning of (France alone, or of the great powers , speaking through her, does not so greatly mat ter. The voice was the voice of France and it was and is the most commanding in all 'the concerted babel-clamor. It is well that this should be !so.

One of the cruel abominations of this -country is the loose, low divorce laws. "They have fallen beneath contempt or toleration. In many states the bars are almost down entirely. Why should a . tate so careful to observe the ancient law and to keep the bars well up as to divorce, as1 South Carolina, be af lllcted by states having the most in- - decent, immoral, lax law? When a state or a country turns it back upon God and His laws then a flood of folly, of vice," of crime comes in inevitably. .' The Messenger all along has insisted upon the rigid limitations of the Divine law in all legislation for North Caro lina relating to marriage and divorce. If all of the eviL consequences resulting from the abuse of a low and corrupting 'divorce law could be gathered and pub " lished it Would startle and stagger this : land would arouse all the churches to - a united and vigorous crusade against the vicious and deplorable prostitution of law to foster lust, vitiate marriage, destroy home, and break up society.

The speech of Senator Morgan, first man in ability in that body, had a decided effect against a measure that really has but little in it to commend. The speech of Mr. Mills seems to have added to the conviction that it was best to defeat a treaty so very defective and failing, as Lord Salisbury admitted, just at the point to avoid war. He said in such cases the usual appeal to battle would have to settle matters in dispute.
