This is q new feature of Congregations

that the second Council has been held
we must consider that the polity of the

introduced which will have a tendency
to consolidate the churches and estab-
fish rules and precedents, and give
authoritative opinions for their govern
ment in their relations to one another,
eventually If not at first.

\ Curious IIIsToRIc PARALLEL
Somewhere we have noticed the remark
that history repeats itself" One of the
occasions of such proceeding recently
occurred on the Pacific coast, though no.
body seemed TO recognize the fact at the
time, aud the chief actor was doubtless as
unaware Of the import Of his work as any
hoodlum Of them all. The facts are thus :
San Francisco had an ordinance forbid.
ding the snappish cracker, the decorating
bomb and the Pnging pistol in the public
streets. The purpose, Of course. was TO
divest the sacred Fourth or its noisy ter.
rors by fc-traiuipg tho ebuliions of iu.
venl'e patriotism 10 back. yards aud sub.
ulban solitudes. At the last moment.
probably moved by the agony Of the
hoodlnms at the privaiion, Mayor Otis
took It npou him to suspend tie aforesaid
ordinance OF the supervisors. Not to
mention the general hideousness of night
and day, and the disgust Of quiet folk,
one consequence WAS the breaking of a
pane OF glass worth $50 by conclusive
bomb. The owners Of the glass applied
to the supervisors promptly decided that
the mayor ought to pay the damage.
They had passed the ordinance and the
mayor had suspended it. He must bear
the consequences Of his own act. This is
the incident that inspires our strikingly
novel remark that history repeats itself.
For James Otis simply initiated one OF
the usurpatlons of authority that turned
one James Stuart out Of his situation in
England, in 1888. The king claimed She
right to suspend acts of Parlment when.
ever he deemed proper. He tried it, and
it cost him crown. The mayor took the
liberty to suspend city ordinance. and
it will probably cost him $3.50. This
coniounding legislative and executive
functions is risky business, and can only
be done safely in the RECONSTRUCTED south
ern state.,by governors and mayor of tho
carpet .hag order.
