City of Confusion. The awkwardness of the Queen's dual position as head of the State aud bead of " the Church" is illustrated once more by the position of the new Victorian Divorce Bill. The colony, whi ch rath el' ina ppropriately takeq its nam e from Her Majesty, has detel'mined to make di voroe as easy a process as well can be: and the Bi ll, by wbicl1 th is is effected · bas come to England to obtain the Aanction of the Government and of the Q n en . That, of the Government has been conceded ; bot, before th e Qneen gives be): assent, an opinion of th e modern A ng licanism is made audi hle. " The law of marriage" the Guardian says, "is almos t the onl y subj ect on which Our Lo l'd has laid do wn a defi nite practical nile, a nd the Victorian Divorce Bill openly contra dicts that rule. Whatever the Sermon on the Mount does not apply to, it certainly applies to divorce; for divorce is a matter of private life, closely affecting personal conduct, and a divorce law such as that adopted by V ictoria is a dis tinct declaution that the law of Christ shall not contl'ol the personal condu ct of men who yet call themselves Christians. The final adoption of the new DiYorce Act will ultimately place the A ustralian Chure,:h in a position of grave diffic ul ty. The matter is mu ch more complicated than it may seem at , fl.mt sight. It is not merely a ques tion of reading the Marriage Service ; it is a question of rehi sing Communion to adul terers, of rejecting the friendship, .and denying the religious &nd social statiis, of persons who have made the u n-Christian law of the State a means of setting themselves free from th eir Ch rist ian obligatious." Yes, but there is another equally awkward aspect of the thing, though the Guardian mnintains a discreet silence o\,vu li i.L.

is to give her sanction to legislation which the new A nglicanism holds to be anti-ChriBtian, is also the bead of the Church. And what is more, she holds that very headship in virtue of Henry th e Eighth's having violated the Christian sanctity of marriage, and of the Pope's refusal to condone that violation. And yet we shall bear again abou t the "continuity" of the Anglican Chu rch in these very columns of the Gua1'dian.

The Church an d Science. Mr. A. L . Cortie bas an article in the current nu mber of The Month on Father P erry, which thou gh in parts little else than a reprint of matter which has already appeared in ou r colu mns and those of contemporaries, is yet full of iatel'est.

nu tocratic gove rnment is more likely t? !,•ad to better government than re~pons1ble govern men t ; indeed th obJectors ,10 not appear to have relied upon aoy rnch contention, they appear to be t l'ieo l'etically in favour of self-government in Western A usti·alia, or a t leas t in some pal't of it, but at the same time to be dGterred by fears , maoy of the m, I ve ntt1re to say, mere phantoms urisi n_g from want of lrnowlf'dge of Australia and Australiuns wbich prevents the m from having the courage of their expreHset! opinions. I for one clo no t belie Ye in the absolute rerfection of a ny human fo rm of government; I do not beli evo that th~ bappine11s of the people universal prosperity, or freedo m f~·om abu~es can be secured by any cons ti tution or by any amount of legislation. A utocra tic govemment is liab le to one set of abuses, pop ular governme nt to a11otber, but that does not prevent me from believing that in A ustrali11 with an English people, with E nglish habits of thought, English trac!itions and, if you like, English prejudices and iaults as well as English civic virtuesself-government is the only form of government fitted for the place, the people ao <l the circumstances ; and I ~ ill g ~ further, an d say the fo rm that !s most likely to u phold that sympathetic unity with the mothar country, that which alone can enable us as a race to hold toget her and to fulfil the magn ificen t destiny which Providence has, I believe reserved for us i f we are true to ourselves, to one another, llnd to our peaceful mission for the future of the world-which only can be fulfil led hy the streng th that comes from unity. A first step towards consolidating that noity will, I trust be found in Australian federa tion, wh ich it will be hoped will tend to enlarge the aims and aspirations of Australian statesmen generally many of who m are nowise inferior in bread th of view to the majority of prominent home politicans. It is no doubt impossible to fo resee the resu lt of federation , s uppoRing it to be attained, bn t. tbolle wl,01re opinion is most valuable appear, so far us I have the means of know ing, to be at one with me in their trust that if imperial fede ration is to become a reality, that is, if we are to continue a g reat nation, Australian feJeratio n will be a step to it, as Cana• dian federation has already been. Now with A ustralian fede ration is it possible t hat Weste rn A ustral ia can long rnmain without self-government ? Even withont A ustrnlian federation can she long so rem ain ? T o my mind it is as certain as any political question can he, that Wes te rn A ustralia must have self-governm ent a nd must have it soon. Sile cannot take he r proper position in her g roup of colonies without it, her people will not rest withou t it, the govern ol's who ha ve r uled her advise that she should have it, and to my min d it is q uite cel'tain t lia t her resources and energy wi ll be crippled until she bas it. Admit t,hat mistak es may be made ; adrnit that Government may be more expensive ; admit even that political jobs may occur-and they are not unknown neal'er home-still the country will be developed, a new life will pervade the people, their aims will be hi g her, and it will be in their power t o redress wron gs of their own creation, fo r which they t hemselves, not the mo ther country, wi ll be answerable. T hey will be all the more loyal on tbn t accouot. Loyal th ey are, as was amply shown by the admirab le speech of the ir de legate, the Hon .

H oLLOWAY's PILLs.-Epi<lemic Diseases.-The al:J,rming in0rease of English cholera and diarrhrea should be a warning to every one to subdue ,it once any irregularity tending toward disease.

Nothing can be simpler than ~he instru~t\ons for takinO' this corrective medicme, nothin g ~ore efficient than it cleansing powers, nothing more harmless than its vegetable ingredien ts. H olloway's is the best physic during the summer season, when decayin"0 fruits and unwholesome veO'etables are frequently deranging the bo~vels, and daily ex posing thousands, through their negligence in permitting disordered action, to the dangers of diarrhcea, dysentery, and cholora.
