The burden of the new increase of postage
does not fall on newspaper publishers. but on
that large class of persons of small means to
whom their friends send their own newspa-
psrs, after they are read. A postage of one
cent enabled many people in this way to
have papers who would otherwise have had
to 60 without. The government has derived
. great and paying revenue from this source,
which will be greatly diminished, under the
new and almost prohibitiye rates.

The charges against DR.. De koyen are that
he BELIEVES and practice the extreme forms
Of Euchar~tic alteration sacramental con-
teSsion invocation of sair,s and prayers
for the dead that he insists on the duty Of
all churchmen and churchwomen to confess
and receive dissolution that he does ac-
,ual!y invoke the aid Of the Saints and
that he believes in purgatory. DR. DE no
ycn's friends, ON the other hand, assert that
they can show from his life, writings, and
practices that he believes in the spiritual not
carnal presence Of the Lord in the bread aud
wine that he recommends only voluntary
confessiOn-in other words, the reception by
the priest Of his peoples condolences when
they feel oyerburdenel with sin and them
selves seek relief, by pouring their eonte>-
sions into the ear of kindly, cody adviser;
that he has never invoked 4 saint in his life,
and has not the remotest intention Ui dong
50: that he believes in the spirit and body
of the dead finding rest As laid down IN the
church books, and never said word OF did
a thing in his whole life II warrant the
statement that he believes in purgatory ,
and finally. that there is nothing he believes
or practices that is not in perfect accord
with many hundreds of leading churchmen,
whose records are considered blamelezs, and
who are admitted by all to be good church
men.
Here is something of difference. We
had not supposed that DIR. Dekoven WAS
the kind Of man that could he 20 radically
misunderstood.
DIR. Ever, the prominent ritualiSt Of New
York, said in a sermon last Sunday that
1.-The wonder is, not that Dr. DehOyen fails
OF Il confirmation at the hands of High aud
Low Churchmen, but that 50 early in the
career of Catholicity DIR. Ewer's term for
ritualism he should have come 80 near
being elected in the Low Church Diocese Of
Massachusetts,, that he should have secured
50 large a vote in Wisconsin, and that the
Diocese oi Illinois should have elected him. .
He considered it startling and sugges-
tive fact that tor the first time in the history
of the American Church twelve dioceses have
dared to vote for Catholic, and twelve do
ceseS presumed to vote against a Low
Churehman." " Verify" added he, the
tide is turning" To an outsider, how
ever, the tide would seem not to he
turning very strongly towards ritualsm. 1t
is now thought that DR.. DeKoyen will not
have the vote Of over a third of the dioceses.

JUSTICE TO ROGER WILLIAMs.-Aiter the
lapse of nearly two centuries and half,
there is prospect that the commonwealth
of Massachusetts will undo the injustice
done that famous victim of religious in
tolerance. Roger Williams In the Hruse
of Representatives, the other day, petit
ton was presented. for an act to revoke
the sentence of banish,nent passed against
Roger Williams by the general court of
Massachusetts, Bay in November, 1885. The
principal reason assigned for the request
was that Roger Williams was banished be-
cause of his advocacy of TIE separation Of
Church and State that that principle has
since been recognized rs correct, and has
been of great benefit to the United States,
and therefore, that Roger W illiams. its first
advocate, ought to be set right. Under the
rule the petition vas referred to the next
general court. which viii have an oppor-
tunity of doing the square thing :" by
the prosecuted clergyman.

The arrangements for the next inter col
legiatc contest have been made on some
what different plan from tina. which pre-
vailed in the last one. Then oratoFy and
composition were the prominent features,
while this time they are to be subordinate,
the places of honor being held by Greek and
mathematics. This change meets with APP
proyal on tue grouLd that those striving Tor
the prizes will be working in the line OF
their college duties and not have their at
tenton distracted. 1t is also thought that
the tendency of American Young men Is al
ready too much toward show rather than
substance. and that oratory and essay
writing may safely be left until thorough
foundation is laid. Another notable thing
is the choice Of practical subject for the
essays. The one given out Is d" The Adyan-
