It is no wonder, then, that with these facts
| before them in their Mother-Church, tho Episco-
paGans Of this country should feel the necessity
of adding one more to the parties within their
body, in order to prevent secession from it. A
stitch in time saves nine. The Reformed Epis~
copalian schism could probably have been pre-
vented. or would mover have been thought OF,
had there been IN organized and pronounced
Broad-Church party in tho Episcopal com
munion- At all events, it is evidently thought
that the time has come to try what can be done
to prevent other rupturcs, by providing accom-
modations for the diTeront modes Of worship
and forms Of faith.
In fact Broad-Church party has come to be
necessity in all the great scots that care to MAIN
tain their unity, peace, and concord. The liber-
al element r1ses and asserts itself, not only
for its own sake, but for the sake Of all the
other elements or schools Of thought. HLite1al
conformity" being no longer nttainable large
forbeatance has become Indispensable. Tho
Liberal Baptists have organized TO guarantee
freedom OF action on the communion question,
the Liberal Prcsbyterians arc insisting upon
he1ibility in the Interpretation not only Of the
Westminster Confession, but Of Paul on the
silence Of women, and now tho Liberal Epsco-
palians arc making stand for "hberty in the
use of tho prayer-Book and ''an adaptation
OF the Church to it's mission in this age" Every
is beginning to SEQ that nothing
will insure its unity and perpetuity like securing
to its component parties.

In general, these classes are, although not yer.
poor OF vary ignorant, still the poorest ant
most ignorant of the voters. Their politica
knowledge, especially, is defective. And this il
necessarily so, because "from the era
die to the grave they have less lei
sure and fewer advantages for knowledge
reflection, and mental discipline" than others.
Tho new electoral classes ha7e not the ability
themselves to govern the country nor the ability
to choose those who have. They are not poit-
ical economists, and what they are most likely to
demand are higher wages, shorter hours, and
to demand them through the medium of 1egis-
lation. They will pe likely to ask relief from
all taxation by which the cost OF living is in
creased, and to add to the public outlay, which
creates demand for their own labor. Even il
they do not seek for m increase in wages by d.
rectlegis]ation, they will for shorter hours hence
the enhancing of the cost Of labor, since it will
become less productive, and OF the cost OF living,
etc., etc.
Dir. Greg is at loss to discover what kind Of
afoEeign policy the ignorant maBs of English
men will dictate. Nor has he much faith that
educating the masses will enable the country to
escape the dangers he points out. The people
Tho education comes too late. The masses were
given power suddenly. They ara being educated
by slow degrees. They hnve received much
power; they can receive but little educa-
ton Their power is to be supreme.
Their education can be only superficial and t1an-
aient- Power nas been given to the existing
generation. Education is to be given to the
next-more yet. tits not possible to educate
the people 80 2s to fit them to understand politi-
cal questions or decide political difficulties
This is certainly powerful indictment OF the
universal or quasi-universal suffrage in Eng
land. Mr: Greg is certainly right in saying that
the Reform bill means revolution, It does
mean revolution, but gradual one. There is
no use in dropping tears over it. It ia an &C
complshcd fact At frat sight, it would seem
that Mr. Greg's reasoning would apply to this |
country IS much as to England. 1t does not, !
however; for here property ia not confined to
the possession Of the few. Mr. Greg sees this,
aud sees. also, that the main security Of Eng
land in the future will bo in tho wider dif-
fusion Of property. England, Notwithstanding
her excellent institutions, has many abuses to
:emedy-abuses borrowed from another age.
The mission OF the laboring classes is to remedy
hese abuses. It will be we'll for them il they
Fnl learn when and where tostop- The English
Church should be disestablished, the expense
ttending the maintenaAce OF the Royal family
urtai1ed, the land monopoly abolished. There
sill be minor questions to settle; but these are
he principal.
Mr. Greg has not yet developed his views on
he other two great dangers threatening En-
land, viz: her approaching Industrial decline
nd The divorce Of the intelligence Of the coun-
~ from its religion.

The present condition Of the Chicago Rive
rainage. It was thought that when the cana
MAS deepened ne had escaped the terrors ot
the pest1ence which that stream forever invited,
ont no person who has had to Cross the river
within the past few DAYS but has recognized the
ACCENT smell which for so long insinuated itself
into every street and habtation, By day and by
night, disturbing the we'll, debiitating the sicl1,
and Fastening the departure OF the DYING,
The present condition Of the river ia
due mainly to local causea. The recent heavy
rains and high winds have, By their adverse op-
srations, produced the "unpleasanrness ~ in tho
river from which the public nre suffering. The
heavy rains along the line Of the cana1 haya
poured into that artificial outlet more water than
u can carry OIL, the result Of which is not only
to stop all flow from tho river, but to force the
stream backward The high winds have. at the
sarne time, driven the water Of the lake into
the river. causing it to rise as much as q
foot or more at ti1nes. These two cansas
by their opposing forces, have disturbed
hs chicago AlFex to it's bottom. While
httle OF nothing has esca. ed, and there has heen
no current either up or down stream. the river
has not been secured, but has beon stirred nm
violently, and it only needs q look from tbc
bridge into the iuky stream to enable anyone to
Judge in what condition tho bottom of the river
must be at the best Of times. Yesterday, under
the eject Of south wind, there Was decided

ORGANIZED IGNORANCE.

The ill-adv1sed strike of the 'longshOremen
is bearing the fruit which every one except the
unfortunate participants f0resaw. Those who
threw away their work at the bidding of their
unions have seen their places instantly occu-
pied by others willing to take the wages
offered The operations of the stevedores have
not been interrupted perceptbly. Every vessel
advertised to sail from this port on Saturday
left her dock at the appointed hour. The work
has been so well, so promptly, and so cheer
fully performed by the new hands, and by
those not belonging to the unions, that the most
sangune anticipatiOns of the shpOwners have
been more than met, and they have no longer
any doubt of their ability to secure all the
labor they want on the new terms. One singu-
lar fact strikes us in the reports of the inspec-
tors. They say that in many instances the
stowage done by the raw hands was better
than usual showing that the old hands, feel
ing sure of their position, had become careless
about their duties, and that the new ones, who
needed the work, were anxious to do 1T well.
The strikers themselves, however, do not
seem to have learned anything by the events
of the week. They held a meeting Saturday
night in which they displayed the same igno-
rance Of the situation, the same passionate
resentment against their former employers, the
same lack of comprehension of their true
relations to the community, and the same
fatal unanimity which was noticeable when
the strike began. There were some 1900
1ongshoremen present, and although many of
them, being husbands and fathers, could not
but have been painfully conscious that there
was something wrong il the management
II. IL
the subsistence of their families, there was not
one found who had anything to say against
the despotism which had PIT them into this
position. They all took evident pleasure in
voting that they would never work for any
merchant OF stevedOre who had employed
outsiders" and that under no circumstances
would they ever work for Walsh or Hen
derson, thus needlessy narrowing their
chances for making a living i'll future.
They did not seem to see that by
this unnecessary defiance they were making it
an object for the firms and corporations re-
fcrred TO, to work in future for the destruc-
tons Of their unions, and to discriminate
against all their members. They clinched their
starvation decree by once more forbidding
any one belonging to their organization to
work anywhere for less wages than their privy
council prescribed. which are at present 40
cents per hour during the day and so cents
per hour at night. AT this a delegate from
Jersey, whose constituents did not desire TO
shut the door to common sense upon them
selves, rose to move an amendment, but was
not suffered to proceed A delegate from
Brooklyn wanted o committee appointed to
confer with the merchants, but was met with
the shout, "Let the merchants wait upon u.s.
which spirited phrase had great success. They

matters of taxation and public expenditure
ask to be treated with candor and sincerity,
and as rational beings. We have not yet
seen even the shadow of economy and re-
duced expenditures, and promises of retrcnch-
ment, or unsupported assumptions OF it, are
a kind of paper which no prudent individual
should discount in these times The plain
fact of the matter is that every rejecting
man who pays any attention to the progress
Of events perceives that our National ana
municipal governments are ruinously extrava-
CANT. If superficial men and men without
spnes cannot be ousted from the control OF
the public money the very foundations OF our
institutions will in time be undermined. one
grand object of government is the protection
of property, but every dollar paid in taxes is
subtracted from somebody's property, and the
evil is doubled when that dollar, instead OF
being honestly and judicously expended goes
into the pocket of some one who has no nSht
TO it. The people demand reform, not mystl-
fication. The fog about. the Treasury Is too
thick already for those who are not engaged
in emptying that receptacle.

NOVENBER ASPECTS.

1t must be admitted that there is an indct-
ment against this eleventh month, which it is
difficult to traverse-an indictment of melan-
chOly preferred by the poets, who think that
it is better to sigh than be laughing, and sus
tanned by the conventional reputation of these
thirty days of presumDtive dizziness. Novem-
Der is at the disadvantage of coming too soon
alter the warm and fascinating lbrilliancy of
its predecessor. The change from prismatic
gories, from great sweeps of color in the
woods and the SUNSET, from definite outline
and an atmospheric purity which mocks us
with suggested dreams of wide Paradisan lands
the change from the pure blue of the heav-
ems to quiet, neutral tnts is perhaps too
sharp and general for the eye which has
grown sensuous and epicurean in its
tastes. We are snatched, with but short
warning, from our Oriental indulgencies, and
reminded by the eager breath of the coming
Winter, that we too are of the blood of the
Mortimer, and that not for us always are to
be filled those beakers which the boy-poet
said were full of the warm South" Yet
there is something within us which tells us
that we are native to these low temperatures,
and come of stock which centuries ago was
corsecrated, by baptism of snow and hail,
to the work of regenerating the nations. We
rouse ourselves from the reveries and the
silken lassitudes of the Summer, and stretch
ing once more our long dsused muscles, we
stride from the leafy covert and the soft
luxury of the valleys to the simplicity of the
plain and the energy of the hillside.
The observant reader will hardly need to be
reminded that natural objects are constant
succession of compensations. We may lose in
kind, but not in degree Nature has thou
sand costly phases, but never, by accident, q
cheap one. 1t is true that she is of our own
creation and may grow commonplace to COM
mon place souls. The Berkleyan theory has
SO much truth in it, if no more. Beauty is
not born of our exclamation points and fus-
tan adjectives but of our honest recognition
of the beautiful and the man who, by adj
vice of the family doctor, takes walk that
he may digest his dinner. though he find
Hygeia, will probably miss Pan and the wood
