What is Law?

1t is certainly a great, If not the
greatest, of the vexations to which
we are subjected, in our present
serious state of political and civil
uncertainty, that courts and judges
decide the most important contro-
versies between citizens on political
and partisan grounds, and without
any regard whatever to the mum
cipal law or the jurisprudence Of
the civilized world. AS to the Cen
stitution and its provisions, the
person who even cites a, provision
of that instrument il any Of our
courts, especially ia our Supreme
Court, is regarded as a very YER
dant STRIPPING or musty old fogy.

Of the 18th we read the following
"The Secretary Of the Treasury
has issued a. circular warning the
people. that taxes and all dues
arising under the revenue laws,
whether from fines or penalties,
can only be receipted for by bond
ed officers, or in certain cases by
clerks Of courts. All direct or i'm

As the taxes are now being col

hoove our citizens to be on their
guard, as warned by the above

1t will be remembered that in September last
Bishop Hopkins, of our State and City, attended
The Pan Anglican Council at Lambeth Palace,
England, which was Congress of nearly eighty
Of the chief Bishops of the Episcopal communion
througout the world, Colonial, American and Eng
lish. Il was proposed to celebrate the conclu
ding services Of the council in Westminster Alb
hey, London. Now, the Abbeys are controlled
by Deans and not by the Bishops, in England,
and Dean Stanley undertook to decline to grant
the use Of Westminster Abbey for that purpose,
unless the assembled Bishops would pledge
themselves to a certain course The terms were
unanimously declined by the Council. Dean
Stanley has since addressed an excuse for his
rudeness to the American Bishops, through the
presiding Bishop of the church in the United
States, Bishop Hopkins. The Bishop answered
him in an article which has been copied extern
sively in the Episcopal papers in New York and
Philadelphia, and more extensively in England
The London Church Times says of it
Dean Stanley has paid the penalty of an act
Of surprising folly. 1t was a safe thing to in
suit the entire English episcopate by his refusal
of Westminster Abbey for special service dur
ing the session of the Lambeth Conference 1t
also proved to be safe thing to aggravate the

litical statement in justification. But it was a |
