I;ituaII-m in England.

The English Ritualists are Just now in sore per-
Qlexity. The Priyv Council las given a legal
judgment. in the ease known a. NqrltV -. Mac.p-
Hoehi.. against their symbolic ceremonies. Mr..
Mackunochic, of the famous ~. Adams Church.
was prosecuted before a lower court for VracticiuE
ceremonies contrary to the regulations Of the
Prayer Book a. ordained hy law for the established
Church Of England. lie was in Iart sustained 10y
the decision. and the prosecutor appealed to the
Iriyy Council, the highest court in such cases.
The Judgment rendered condemns the Ritualists
ON all points, ~ varying from the required uni
~fJrmity, Is to which Lord Cairns in the decision
remarked
The object Of The statute Of Uniformity is, q, its rrsamh'.

1t was therefore declared that placing candles
on the altar. burning incense. alteration Of the
bread and wine by q the priests, and their Gle
vation before the wor-hiVins people, are illegal
and must be rclinquished within the Established
Church.
The Judgment ofthc Privy Council i the subject

Gus and IN the English secular papers some pr0is-
ing It's clcarncss. wisdom and cogcncy, others

AMI intimating u want of unanimity in the court.
To estimate it, bearing Alright, it should be un-
dcrst"od, that no question Of doctrine, taught or
held by the officiating L. priest was under re-
view, but only the lawfulncss of certain outward
acts as part of the church rites. Hence, although
the obnoxious rites are condemned, the vet more
obnoxious ideas which they are usel to symbolic.
may bc held and taught by - the priest" lie is
simply put under the disadvantage of not being
able to express his doctrine symbolically at the
altar.

Of this PAPER, tie Official organ has once or twice
made "a statement similar 20 the above, intinat-
iug that he or Others connected with this journal
have engaged in the cOolie traffic, which j. now

others which appear in that paper. l. devoid Of

that the Government organ Is under jhc -uTcryi-
sion Of Charles Coffin Harris, E-q., who, if lac
knows anything Of the case, must have known the
statement % be unfJundcd. and i therefore Ie--
Iousibir for it. The facts are briefly these
In 1854. a coolie was imported by Mr.. Graves
for a gentleman on Kauai. who did not wish to
receive him, as be had agreed to, and offered him
10 the publisher Of this PAPER. who took him. not
under his old contract, but under a new one.

freedom as q native would. Under this agree
mcut he received eight dollars n month instead Of
four 81 his contract stipulated. and was re-
leased from the obligation u refund his passage.
Il Wa a voluntary service, entered into by the
servant, which Lac continued. with temporary
interruption. for Elie.H y,ars.
We by no means condemn any who have re-
ccivcd and employed coolic laborcr- ON tie best
terms they could obtain them. Ticy must have
lahorcr-. and II j. right they should accept any
who are ubtainlblc, whether foreigners or NATIVES.
Bat we d. condemn the ignorance and short
siShtcdness Of ;hc Bard OF immigration in issu-
inS contracts, or allowing them to be issued, 20
openly in violation Of law, and which render en-
Ilnycrs liable u Losses not contemplated when
they received the laborcrs. If the Mctcalf or
Prinocyille estate had incurred loss by accepting
labOrcrs ON what were iSnorantly believed to be
legal terms. the Government is clearly responsible
for any losses incurred, for all acts OF the Govern
mcnt arc supposed to be legal and ON it must
rest whatever odium attaches to the present lille
gal system.

The French Legion ofIIonor.

The Legion Of Honor is one OF the Oldest orders
of France. and is the goal of all Frcnchmen. 1t
was established by the First Consul IN 1902. and
il was designed by him az a rccompense for mill
tary and civil services. Ii was not confined 10
any particular rank of society, but every social
grade was equally eligible to it. The medal as
now worn consists of 4 cross of ten points of
white enamel edged with gold. the points being
connected with a wreath of laurel. and in the cen
tire is Il head of Napoleon Ill. The cross is en-
signed by the imperial crown Of France. and worn
attached to 4 red ribbon. The vast numbers of
this order, and the insignifcance Of many of the
persons ON which it has been conferred, have
AAxe a' much from its value. In 1913 the mem
~ 4T--aa The College OF the Legion
is in possession Of considerable T1nds, out of
pensions are lNid to certain members ofthc
who have been wounded. These pensions
have sometimes amounted to as large 4 sum as six
millions Of francs annually.
In the course OF Il recent discussion in the
French Legislative body, On some OF the estimates
for special services Of the War Department..
Count de "a Tour drew attention to the cxtraor-
binary increase Of expenditure on account of the
of Honor. 1t appears that the cost of the
Institution was, in 1858, / ,lS7 300 francs within
the last ten years 1t has reached lS,425,O 600
francs. VI. dc Ia Tour calculates that the medal
lists in the French army at present, are 10000
and the members of the Legion OF Honor $1,000,
and If the civilians decorated with the order be
added the number of Legionaries is O3 900. NJ.
lie Ia Tour suggests that the regulation adopted in
1852 by the government, should be enforced
that the nominations should be restricted,
and that no one in future be decorated except
there are two vacancies by death or dcgra-
