The Kansas Fair-TufcrcSt!ng Rem
inisccuCcS.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, September IL
The second day of the industrial eXposi
tion was a grand success both in point OF
display and attendance, No less than
10000 people being on the grounds.
Jefferson Davis arrived on the grounds
about Il o'clock and was'iutrodurcI To- the
throng by Col Coates, President Of tine
Association. Mr.. Davis made essentially
the same speech a. at De Soto and Full
ton, and was frequently applauded.
When Mr.. Davis retired Senator
Cockerill and ex-senator David AtchIson,
who sat in Congress with Mr. Davis
many years ago, were called out and
spoke briefly. No aIlusIOn was made 10
y lrtics by either party, and nothing oc-
Cured to mar the pleasure OF the occasion.
During the morning Mr.. Davis had an IN
formal reception at the Coates House, and
among the callers were David AtchIson
and Major Sevicre, the latter being a
classmatc of Davis at West Point, and
who served several years with bim in the
army. DR.. Stewart, who bore Mr.. Davis
from the field Of Bucna Vista when
wounded, was also present, and the old
times talked OF by these gentlemen were
very interesting and were the notable
features Of the occasion.

As til. place is on q high elevation oi
land and is "way over" in the southwest
corner of the town Of Halifax, adjoining
Coleraine and Heath, in the Old Bay State,
and also extends to the town of whiting
ham, people think that it is not of much
consequence, considering the amount of
labor expended in climbing the long, steep
aud zigzsg road that connects 1t with the
post offices, stores, churches and other
public places; hut the TACT il, it is very
pleasant here in summer, although rather
disagreeable in some winter seasons like
the past one. Our district school usually
ranks AS the third in town for attendance,
aud the scholars are rather above the av-
GRACE of country schools in advancement,
yet the parents do, as most all parents in
town practice in doing, that of not visiting
the schools, but jump at conclusions in re-
gard to the utility of the schools, which
often does injustice TO teachers aud others
connected with their management; also, ii
is customary for superintendenis TO allow
the people to look after the schools, and
thus much controversy is usually had in
many schools. In regard to punctuality at
school there IL "a vast difference with ScbOl-
ars; with many, but little heed is taken of
this important item, but in our school of
this past winter we mud that there were
five schDars, sons of G. Cutting. who were
neither absent or tardy, aud they were the
only ones, too, although their home was
mile away through the clustering SHOWS.
When we think what Il ilOurishing school
we have now, our thoughts glide into the
future, aud we see a large new school house
with but a remnant of the once thrifty
schOOl-which will probably be the case If
several OF the families move away to he
better accommodated to public places for
resort az well As Tor nsCcssarlc~ needed at
home. Nothing will prevent this annihi-
latiOn of the school, perhaps, but the build
ing of a highway road f. ON near the school
house down the valley to Stones Mills on
the river road. Besides accommodating
these families, the road would he the line
for travel from points north and east to the
Hoosac tunnel, and other places 10 that di-
reclion, which are at present reached by
roundabout course in order TO avoid our
steep aud long hill The Inhabitants of
this hill seldom ask favors OF the town,
often finishing the repairs on the highway
by voluntary labor which they intend to
use To assist in the road to he constructed,
for they dislike to burden The town with
taxes-and they also think that 1t is the
best policy To have good ratings in dan
gerous places, rather than re under the
necessity of having to pay such a large
amount of highway damage s-about $1,000
in the ten years just past. The grade OF
the proposed road would be about five de-
grees, or less than some points on the river
roads, aud not one-half as steep as the usu-
al way of getting to our school house grave
ward aud dwelling houses. y. Ms >.

The DE u Case Settled.

II is rare that a tier relating to the at
fairs ola single denomination arouSes 80
general an interest in the public at large rs
has been manifested in the question of the
confirmation Of DR.. De KoNen as Episco-
pal Bishop Of Illinois. Two reasons NAV
be given 10 explain this circumstance. In
the first place the diocese in question has
for some time been battle ground between
the extreme parties in the church. In the
contest over the election of a successor to
Bishop Whitehouse the Low Church party
were defeated, and DR.. seymour, an ex-
treme High Churchman, was elected. The
General Convention, ailera long discussion,
having refused to confirm DIR. Seymour,
another election was had, and Dr. De
Koven who had been defeated in several
contests for bishopric elsewhere, was
chosen. This rcaflirmation Of extreme
High Church principles by the Illinois
diocese served to widen the breach between
the two wings of the church and to keep
active the old animosites. This circum-
stance would have been enough, of itself,
to direct general attention to the points at
issue but we must add to it the fact that
the Episcopal Church itself was felt to be,
in a certain sense, on trial. An endorse
ment of DR.. De Koven, with his alleged
tendencies toward Romanism, would have
been regar, ed, with some justice as par
tial abandonment of the fundamental prn-
cipCs Of Professionalism.
Of the forty-five dioccses in the church,
all but ten have taken action on the case,
and the votes already recorded are sufii-
cient to absolutely defeat DR.. De Koveu.
The vote stands eleven for, tive lty-four
against, and the following is statement of
it in detail:
For. Maine, Albany, Alabama, Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Missouri,
Nebraska, Vermont and Fond du Lrc.
against. Central New York, Central
Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, Ohio, South
ern Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Kentucky,
Virginia, Delaware, Louisiana. Texas,
Michigan, Mississippi, Northern New Jer-
sey, Maryland, Pitlsburg, Georgia. New
York, South Carolina, Massachusetts, Long
Island, Kansas and Western Michigan.
Twenty-three votes are required for con-
tirmation, and as twenty-four are already
recorded against DR.. DC koven, his defeat
is final. The point seems settled, therefore,
that no man with even the faint of Roman
ism about him can he elevated to the
BishOpric with the consent of the Episco-
pal church, as represented either in its
General Convention or by its Standing
Committees.

The Methodist society is experiencing
some severe financial difficulties. They

to pay their Ii liabilities, and their creditors,
by materials and labor, have taken legal
steps to obtain their dues. As tue society

uallv liable. and some OF the claimants

for them. They have had serious difiicul.
ties to contend with from the first, but the
present state of things bring them TO a
most critical point in their history. The
building OF church is a great undertake
ing in any society, and it calls for great
deal OF trouble, labor, and sacrifice, even
. when society is comparatively large.
But though this society is not large. nor its
members uverDurdened with this worlds

sacrifice will prevail and they will labor,
pray, and give till the work is complete |;
and that they will he all the richer Tor il In

counsels and measures may be devised for
their present relief and ultimate success.

WOVtIl Thinking Of.

To a foreigner, who has read continually
of our boosted American free thought free
speech and free everything, it must seem
like strange anomaly that a member has
Just been expelled from one of our State
legislatures on account of his religious
opinions. Mr.. J. William Thorne who was
deprived of his seat in the North Carolina
legislature less than a month ago, on theo-
logical grounds, was a Progressive Friend
in religious belief, and the only evidence
against him was a pamphlet published sew
eral years ago when he had controversy
with a clergyman of the English church.
In this discussion he rejected certain cur
rent theological dogmas because TO him
they made God seem cruel and vindlctive.
Just before his expulsion he was called to
the bar of the House and under oath made
this statement of faith: "There is but one
living and true God; everlasting, without
body or parts, or passions; Of unlimited
power, wisdom aud goodness; the maker
of all things visible and invisible" No
charges were made against Mr.. Thorne's
personal character. 1t was not claimed
that he was not capable, honest aud trust
worthy. lie was expelled because he did
not believe in the God of the Bible, hut
only in the philosophers God of nature.
In extenuation of such an offence against
Justice and good government it may be
urged that North Carolina has always had
the reputation of being one of the most be-
nighted States in the Union, and it is prob
ably true that degree of narrowness and
bigotry prevails there which would not be
tolerated in a Northern State. Perhaps,
the legislature by negro votes had some
thing to do with the feeling of the Demo
cratic majority in regardto his theological
opinions. 1t is even possible that he was
too honest TO suit some of the corrupt Re-
publicans. However this may be il is {
satisfaction to know that the religious press
of the country of all. shades of belief, has
with scarcely an exception, condemned The
expulsionin unequivocal terms, realizing
evidently, that honesty, ability and SINGER
ity are the prime requisites for man il
public life, and that questions on othe
points are impertinent. But, Afler all thu
fact remains that this unrighteous act wa
committed in free America and the occa
sion is one when it may be well for us tC
stop and seriously consider whether in al
possible respects, we of this great and glo
rious Republic are really so much ahead o
all the rest of creation.

THE NEW CARDINAL.-Arcbhish John
McCloskey of New York, the newly APP
pointed Cardinal. and the first American
who has ever received this high honor, was
born in Brooklyn, n. y, in 1910, was or
dained in New York in 1891, was consecrat-
ed Bishop of AXicren in 1874 by Bishop
Hughes, and when the diocese of Albany
was established, was transferred to that
see, holding it for II years, when upon the
death Of Archbishop Hughes, he was ele-
waited to the vacant seat. His conservation
as Archbishop occurred at St. Patrick's
Cathedral, where he was originally ordain-
ed as priest, apd where he celebrated his
first mass, on Sunday, August II, 1864. In
the interest of his church, Archbishop Me-
Closkey has been an interchangeable worker,
and his new dignity is one which his co.
religionists generally regard as being we'll

On the 18th Of March Senator Edmunds
took The floor, and spoke nearly two hours
against Pnchback's right to a seat. The
treatment his speech received at the hands
of some Of his colleagues, is melancholy ev-
idence of the decay of what may he called
honesty and bipartisan judgment in the
discussion of what are really judicial and
bipartisan questions. Morton, Howe, Lo-
gan, Sargent and other senators character
lied it as democratic speech, because the
senator argued from the facts and the law
thatthe pretended legislature which chose
PnchbaGk was not legal Legislature I'M
der the laws and constitution of Louisiana
The argument was all on his side, To he
sure, and the case seemed entirely clear in
his most fOrcible presentation OF II.
Mr.. Edmunds's republicanism can
be doubted by no one; and when we say
that, we mean that his devotion to repuh-
iican principles has never wavered in the
smallest degree. But republican princi-
pies are one thing; mere parisanship, or
support of whatever somebody may choose
to say is republcanism, is quite another
thing. 49, N0hiDeiier Freeman.
