For some time past the Empress OF Russia
Inns been living at Cannes, In tho South Of
France. seeking, but seeking In vain to re-
cover her health. Suffering as she Is from
consumption, her doctors declared that an
other winter In the rigorous climate OF Rus
aia meant certain death. and banished her to
either France or Italy until the summer.
This change. however. has done her but little
good aud her death la looked for every mo-

tho relations existing between father and son
and brother In that family are, but few per-

I'm constant terror of the assassins knife the
son hates his father with equal fervor and
would welcome his death by tho bull

venge Tho history OF the Romanoffs for tho
past two centuries has been history OF
crime. eaualled only by that OF the Borghlas
and tho Claudian line of Roman emperors.
The most extraordinary and unnatural crimes

frequently committed by them. They have
been excused on the ground that the family

present Emperor suffers from this family
faint of insanity. and is a victim of morbid
melancholy that bears evidence of disorder

81 Case, With Comments"

Under the above heading we reproduce In
these columnS an editorial from the Baptist
Courier of last week. The sentiment therein
expressed Is SO unlike the Christian spirit Of
the editorials which have characterize that
paper Of late, that we are at n loss to under
stand the animus which prompted It's wri-
ting. Are not EpiScopa!ians Christians? Is
the Episcopal church not orthodox? Ifso, are
they and the church not fighting the good
light of faith, as sell rs tic Baptists? Unless
1t Is con:endcd that everybody else than Bap-
fists arc ~llcrctics the article in question would
seem TO be aimlcss. According 10 our under
standing the Protestant Churches maintain
and teach all the cardinal or vital tenets OF
the religion Of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ. We all observe the sltme ordinances
but In somewhat different ways. The Bap-
lists immerSc their members, while the Fpis-
copllians will either sprinkle or immerSc.
After ali, the question Of immersion or
sprinkling IL Il matter OF the very smallest
Importance in saving souls. The Baptist Cou
ricr, however, would, it seems to us, give out
the impression that the Baptist Church Is the
only church whose members Gun be saved.
At the final accounting On the Great Day we
presume tina BaptistS and EpiScopalians Will
be judged according to the deeds dom In the
body" according TO the fidelity and sincerity
with which they have served the Lord, ac-
cording to the purity or impurity OF the heart
not rs to whether they were Baptists or
~Episcopalians. If only Baptist: inherit the
kingdom of heaven, the legacy which OUT
Saviour left will be enjoyed by q very small
proportion of his servants on earth. In times
of war it makes but little difference to which
regiment a soldier may belong, SO long rs he
Is true to his cau.e. So in the life OF the real
Christian. Itmakes no difference whether he
Is Il Baptist or an Episcopalian. 1t strikcs us
that the editors remarks are unkind to the
lady who naturally desires to worship with
her husband. She Is right and reasonable In
her request, and she should join with him the
Episcopal or any other ofthc Christian church.
cs. "Whosoevcr livcth and belleveth In me
shall never die" no matter to which church
he may belong.

Baltimore Sun.

WASHINGTON, September @.-An Item o.
gossip has been floating around in political
circles here for ten days to the effect that q
movement was on foot for the withdrawal OF
Gen. Garfield from the head orthe Republican
ticket and the substitution Of Gen. Grant 10
his place. Not much importance has been at
tached this for TWO reasons; First, that there
is no recoynized authority which could under
take the responsibility OF substituting Gen.
Grant, even II MIR. GARFIELD was willing to get
ont of the wav: and, second, all shrewd pollti-
clans agree that II the Republican cause Is In
such dire straits as som3:ofits supporters seem
to fear, it Is too late now for Gen. Grant or any
one else to save II. The meeting yesterday
between Gen. Garfield II Gen. Grant, SEN
ators Conkling, Logan n Simon Cameron
has, however given fresh interest to this piece
of gossip. and prominent Republicans to-day
while no: exactly crediting 1t, talk ofthe pos
slbllity Of 1t us a forlOrn hope.
In this connection 1t Is much commented
on that neither General Grant nor Senator
Conkling in their speeches yesterday made
any personal allGsion to Mr.. Garfield, and 1t
is q fact, which has never been the case in
any previous Presidential campaign, that
scarcely my OF the leading speakers Of the
Republican party bring Mr.. Garfield into
their speeches at all. Several high govern
ment officials to-day were expressing grave
doubts as to Republican success In Ohio next
month, and said the Republicans could scarce
Nv nave settled on q candidate less calculated
to arouse popular enthusiasm than General
Secretary Sherman, however, still

OPINION ON AMERICA's AGRICUL.-
IuRAL ADVANTAGES.

LONDON, July 22.-The report of Clare
Sewell Read and Albert Pell, sent by the
Royal Agricultural Commission to the
United States and Canada to inquire into
the state OF agriculture is published. They
say that while many prevailing conditions
are favorable in America, in the contest
for agricultural supremacy, still draw backs
exist, which tell in favor OF England.
Severe winters suspend agricultural em.
ployment; droughts are injurious; insects
and in the prairie country a short supply
OF water endanger the crops. Western
America possesses singular advantages for
stock raisers, while the Middle States
afford them excellent pasturage, and the
Eastern States good markets. The allot.
ment otland and the termination OF free
ranges in the West will increase the cost
Of cattle raising, but the increased con
sumption by the growing population will
enhance prices. The success and exten.
sion OF the growth Of blue grass open
fresh prospects for grazing aud will, in
time, bring improved turf under the hoof
Of thoroughbred stock, or at least OF a
high grade OF cattle.
