The Labor and Capital Controversy.

The New York Trade Bureau, in
an editorial on "Capital," gives en-
preston to the following sensible
ideas:
The war against capital has been
especially bitter of late years, and
will probably increase in virulence
until practical experience shall have
convinced the workingman that his
only hope and refuge, in fact his
ark of safety, against n food of
want and misfortune is this self
same so-mucb-abused capital. Be
cause one possesses means, either
inherited or earned, is it reason
that he should be marked down as
subject Of direct or indirect
persecution 7 1t is his misfortune
to possess more Of this worlds
goods than his fellow, and therefore
he is held up as a mark for oppro-
blum and condemnation. We are
not among the capitalists; still
this is no disgrace, as we view it
and no reason why we should be
visited with storm of cotumely
and made a subject Of objurgation.

A voracious insect has lighted
upon the cornfelds around Mer.
idcn, in the State on Connecticut
and the way it makes its meals of
the corn thereabout, fills some of
the farmers with amazement and
alarm. 1t is described as a good
sized, six-legged, evil-looking bug,
larger and flatter than the potato
bug, brown in color, swift of wing,
and destructive of tooth. This
bug has thoroughly mastered the
table accomplishment of eating
corn from the cob. He begins at
the small end, feasting his way
along a row of grains, and when he
gets through, nothing but the husks
is left, the kernels having been
neatly and skillfully devoured.
"The bugs fly like lightning when
started, so look out" says q cores
pendent of the Hartford Times,
leaving some doubt whether the
casual reader is warned to beware
of something like stroke of light
ming, or whether neighboring
farmers are thereby advised to arm
themselves against an invasion of
this insect pest. A Burlington COR
respondent of the same paper also
makes the startling statement that
in that vicinity whole fields of corn
are ruined almost in single day,
while acres Of grass suddenly turn
brown. and dry up, the roots hav.
ing been eaten out by some subsoil
ravager. Entomologists have not
yet sat in judgment upon these
bugs, but they appear to be close
kin TO the hearty potato bug, or
possibly even more remorseless de-
vastators, Attila bugs, whitening
the grass wherever they burrow.

1t is not surprising that, when
Memphis is ravaged by the yellow
fever plague, as she is at this time,
there should be some confusion in
the mind of the Mayor, Mr.. Flip
pin, respecting political matters. 1t
is thus that we account for Mayor
Flippin's dispatch to Hayes, asking
that two companies of regular
troops be stationed in Memphis for
the preservation of order. The
Mayor appears to be fearful
that riot and disturbance be
yond his power to suppress may
break out, and hence his appeal for
troops. But if he had consulted
his copy of the constitution, he
would have ascertained that the
United States guarantee to the
States protection against domestic
violence, "on application of the Leg
islature, or of the Executive when
the Legislature cannot he conven-
ed" not on the application of a Ma
or. His proper course was to write
or telegraph to the Governor of Ten
nessee. Then, if the latter had
judged fit to make an application
for troops in due form, it would
have been for Hayes to decide
whether he could furnish them, I'M

gress, forbidding the employment

The McCoskry Casa Contrast.

1t is to the credit OF the Episco-
pal Church, that its House Of Bish-
ops has so promptly dealt out to
the licentious Bishop of Michigan
the severest punishment it could
inflict on him. When first the
proofs OF his guilt were laid be-
fore him by members Of his do
cese, Bishop McCoslry sought to
escape an investigation, with its
consequent disgrace, by resigning
his episcopal functions on the plea
of i'll health and the necessity o.
prolonged European travel.

resignation, and denouncing the
charges against him as venomous

Bishop McCosky, knowing tho
men and the Church with whom
he had TO deal, and forecasting hi:
doom afterward repeated his res
ignation, and substantially ran
away to Europe to escape the com
ing storm. And now, after a de-
cent interval, the House of Bishops
through the Presiding Bishop, "de-
clare and pronounce the said Sam
uel Allen McCoskry to he deposed
from the holy ministry and from
all the Offices thereof and he will
wander about Europe a disgraced
and disowned priest, unable to es-
cape from his shame.
This is the second case in the
history of the Episcopal Church of
the United States where a bishop
has been deposed or suspended
from his episcopal functions for Ii
centious conduct, and, as we have
said, it is to the honor of that com
munion that it has not hesitated to
make another example, and again
administer its discipline without
regard to the exalted ecclesiasti-
cal rank of the offender. The first
ease was that of Bishop Onder-
donk of New York, man esteem
ed in his diocese, and with dis
tinguished family connections
The accusations against him were
sustained, and he was at once sus-
pended from his episcopal Office,
in 1913, and from that time until
his death, in 1861, he lived under
the ban of sentence which was
terrible to him. His brother, also,
Bishop Onderdonll of Pennsylva-
MIA, was suspended in 1914 for his
habits of intemperance; but though
restored, he kept
from the public view.
This is the proper way for
church to deal with its reprobatc
priests. The more exalted the &C.
position of the criminal,
the greater power and influence he
has in the communion, the more
necessary is it that he should be
made to bear the penalty of his
scandalous offenses.
What q contrast is there between
the course of the Episcopal Church
in the cases of Bishop McCoskry
and the two Onderdonks, and that

Drain Taxes.

For the benefit of those parties
who appear TO he somewhat uneasy
and their minds are unsettled in
reference to the drain tax sales,
the advertising of which is on the
18th page Of this paper, we give the
amended law in regard to the drain
tax, as passed at the last session Of
the Legislature of this State. And
for further information in regard
to the law we would refer the read
er to the Republican State legis-
lature which passed it. AS for
our part, we do not attempt to ex-
plain whether the law is just OF un-
just:

invested. Nobody in modern
times digs a hole, buries money out
of sight, and fixes it so that no re-
turn will be received, The days OF
DISTINGUISHED philanthrophy have
passed. People expect something
for something, and the man who
says that he only makes a move for
the general benefit, with no profit to
himself, is viewed with suspicion.
There are no more Damon and
Pythias arrangements among us;
every man expects a return for in
vestments. either in friendship or
trade. Therefore il is little too
much to ask a capitalist to put in
his money simply with the idea Of
giving the proceeds to the employee.
The sooner that working men come
to this conclusion the better for
them and their employers. There
is no child's play about it. As
business has ruled of late, times
have been bard enough for both
parties, and it is necessary, if they
wish to see even moderately pros
porous trade, that discord shonld
cease. The workingman is vitality
interested in protecting the CAPT
talist, and will show his good
sense by refusing to take any
action which may tend to produce
trouble.
