I'm Ecclesiastical Commemorative question,
whether there can be a church without a bishop.
is TO be discussed by the Rev. DR.. Potts, who
takes The anti-espiscopal side of the question, and
by The Rev. DR.. Wainwright, who maintains the
episcopal side.
The occasion of the controversy was passage
IN speech made by Dr. Wainwright at the re-
cent New England dinner. Abiding to a remark
IN MI Choate's address, that in Geneva the ext
led purltans "iound church without bishop ~
Dr. WAINWRIGHT said, that if that were proper
occasion, he would maintain that there could not
DE church without bishop. DR.. Potts accord
lngiy addressed letter to DR.. Wanw right offer
ing 10 debate the question with him. DR.. VAIN
wright answered, accepting the offer, and propo-
sing That, as the space to be occupied by such
controversy would be greater than the editor of
any secular paper would be able TO spare, each of
the parties in the dispute should select some reli-
glous paper, in which the communications on
both sides should be published, the editors re-
sPecuVely abstalnlng from comment until the con-
uoversy be concluded. Dr. Wainwright selects
'he ohurchman on his part; DIR. Potts will prob
ably choose the Observer
d. Potts oilers TO prove that the proposition
there cannot be church without bishop" is
pregnant with innumerable evil consequences,
Theological social and civil and that it is un-
scIiptural, uncharitable, schsmatlcal and ani.re-
publican in its character.
Dr. Wainwright denies this assertion sin its
lebgth and BREADTH" and declares himself ready
TO maintain his denial the moment his antagonist
enables him to do so by stating the arguments on
"hich Tie assertion is founded.--N Y. Post

THE REASON WHY

After the election of 1910 number of Loco
iocos were earnestly engaged discussing the rea-
sons why the Wings had beaten them so badly
IN the preceding election. One insisted that it
was because the people were such fools that they
had all their senses taken away by the coonskin
mummeries. Another declared it was not ,ha, so
much as the bribery Of thousands of voters by
The banks and foreigners, whilst third asserted
that the people had gone mad, and had got drunk
upon excitement and hard cider.

,he hfst one, turning to litto humpbacked, gim-

WHAT THEY CAN AND WHAT THEY
CAN'T

The following brief article from the Louisville
Journal expresses great deal in small space,
and characteristics the Locofoco party truthfully
as anything we have SEEM The editor might
have added, that they could find authority,--not
in the constitution, but in precedent,--to an
mex territory to the United States, but none what
ever for improving what we have, or that which
they would add to it:
1t is little remarkable that the Locofoco lead
ders cannot find constitutional authority for any
thing that is good, but can find an abundance of it
for every thing that is bad. They cannot find con.
stitutional authority for making a bank-they
cannot find constitutional authority for opening
roads and improving rivers-they cannot find con-
sttional authority for the protection and en-
couragement Of American industry-they cannot
find constitutional authority for the distribution OF
the land money among the States to which 1t be-
longs /; but they can find constitutional authority
fora Rhode Island rebellion-they can find constI
tutonal authority for leg. treasury and It's leg
treasurers-they can find constitutional authority
for DISTINGUISHING State of its whole COMPRESSION
al epresentation--they can find constitutional
authority for setting at naught law OF Congress
and creating representations IN defiance OF that
law-they can find constitutional authority for OBJ
literatng the records of the Senate by way OF flat
terng party leader-they can find constitutional
authority for trampling OH the right of petition
they can find constitutional authority for the an
nexation Of foreign country to the Republic
they can find constitutional authority for quarter
ing on the country standing army of 100000
men-n short, they can find constitutional author
ity for every enormity moral, political or financial,
that ever entered into the imaginalons OF an I'M
scrupulous party"
