If the newspapers Of this country coult
have the disposition OF Bishop Haven We
think they would at least depose him
from the high office which he holds in
his church, on account Of the absurd man
ner in which he carries on when he
touches politics, which, by the way, is
quite often. He not only goes in for Grant
for third term, but he goes in for making
him an anointed ruler. For instance, in
his Fourth Of July speech he said:
THE church officials must anoint The
ruler or the people will not allow him tc
rule. lie must receive the sacrament be
fore he can be crowned. The preacher
not the Judge, makes him ruler, They
are servants OF the church, and thus only
can they reign. How different our inaug
urUon, where only the head OF the court
administers the oath, and never clergy
lnauis called TO consecrate the chief"
TIE next move Of Haven will probably
be III tie direction Of the dogma Of infalli
bility, which teaches that all civil powe
should be subordinate to ecclesiastical au
phority.

The detection Of Mr.. Hendricks causes
a mGst serious disturbance in the calcula.
tons OF Mr.. Tilden for 1880. The fact is
that in order to secure his nomination in
1915 Mr.. Tilden promised to support the
nomination OF Mr.. Hendricks in 1880, and
after bargain OF this kind the order OF
battle was arranged. Mr.. Hendricks now
demands that the bargain with him be
cal ried out, while Mr.. Tilden claims that
the eight.by.seven decision Of the Elec-
toral Commission ought to operate as a
waiver Of any promise made at the time Of
his nomination. This unfortunate differ
ence OF opinion between these gentlemen
has been widened by the violence Of in
judicious friends. The result is that
neither Tilden nor Hendricks will have
dominating strength in the Democratic
National Convention, and way is open.

WAsHISGToN, July s. Since Senator
Conkling's speech in reference to where
the revenues came from that support the
Government, there has been a great deal
OF talk on the subject in official circles,
and the pet often expressed that there
is no way to tell what proportion OF the
public burdens are borne by the people OF
each State. In the PostotEiCe Department
it is possible to tell to a cent where the
revenues OF that branch Of Government
come from, for postage stamps are used
where they are sold, but whisky and
and tobacco are not.
Many officials think that the fairest and
most correct way to estimate the amount
paid by the people OF each State to the
support Of the General Government, is to
take the sales Of stamps and postal cards
and receipts from newspaper postage.
They argue that the postotlice business in
each State is pretty true criterion OF the
business and intellectual growth OF such
State, and that Government revenue from
each State is really in proportion to postal
receipts.
II this be true, the two hundred and
forty-fve millions paid into the Treasury
for the support oil the General Govern
ment comes from the people Of the respec.
tive States in the following proportions:
