UP to the morning of the day when the
Republican County Convention met, and in
deed up to the hour when the result of the
decisive ballot for Register of Deeds was de-
clared, Mr.. f. G.. Stevens was in full SYM
pathy with the Republican party. What has
the party done since that time to forfeit his
confidence? 1t has refused to nominate him
for Register of Deeds. This is the head and
front of its offending.

THE Virginia Legislature, in repeating
the whipping law, forgot to enact penalties
to take the place of whipping, and three
housebreakers and two thieves were set at
liberty the other day in one county, because
there was no law for Furnishing them.

Referring to Bob Toomb's declaration that
he is secessionist now, the Chattanooga
Times says: 'sWhy, in thunder then, don't
the old man secede, and let us have peace?
He can go-bless him. He can go far-save
him. He needn't mind returning. Secede,
General, by all means; and, to the end that
we have less noise, move early"

THE board of managers of the Milwaukee
exposition have rejected proposition to
keep the exhibition open Sundays. The
suggestion was made in the nominal inter-

and inquiry showed that the working peo-

the customs of the Christian community.

FOpTNIGHTLY Review: "'The emigrants
to America" are the cream of the popula-
ton of the count tries which they desert. The
"feckless loon" stays at home. 1t is the
man of intelligence, enterprise and energy
who emigrates. There is no fair comparison
between the condition of the mass of the
people, either as regards employment or ed
ucation, in America and in England during
ordinary times. The working class across
the Atlantic is far better off,

Boston Traveller: There is another SIN
dependent Republican" movement in Maine.
This time it is genuine thing. Some of
the Republicans of Sagadahoc county, dis
satisfied with the county ticket, have made
nominations of their own. Simila things
have occurred in almost every county of
every State in the Union. Disappointment
and rivalry on local quarrels are at the bot
tom of them. The fiercer these local fights,
as rule, the larger IS the vote for the State
ticket This is likely to be the result IN
Sagadahoc. The leaders of the bolt say
they shall support the regular ticket for Gov
ernor and Congressmer. The affair is of
very little consequence, and we should not
regard it as worthy of mention, but for the
efforts of the Democratic newspapers to
make this little molehill appear as a noun

Boston Traveller: The little independent
Republican movement turns out to be the
wrong joker All the Fusion papers petted
it and advertised it widely, but they have
deserted to some extent. Why? Two-thirds
of those who run it and two-thirds of those
whom it will catch are of the Plalsted voters
two years ago. Milliken, the head of the or
ganization, was Fusionist then. The whole
aim of these men is to get control of new
machine early, so that it may take the place
of the one whose fires will be put out in
September. AS the indications now point
to the decline of Fusion, recruits for it
will come from Fusion, and the poor
Plastedites now have to contemplate the
creature of their own effort drawing susten-
ance from their scanty stores. They
can console themselves that it is little
thing anyway, and won't hurt much,

"A feature Of the Report of the So
ciety for the Propagation of the gospel this year
is letters from most of the bishops in whose
dioceses the Society has missions. These letters
take the place of the ordinary report though in
many cases they are less definite The bishops
of Calcutta, Rangoon, Madras, Bombay, Co
lombo and Borneo write of the missions of the
Society in Asia, showing what it has done to-
ward the propagation OF the gospel. The
Bishop of Calcutta expresses his surprise at find
ing the influence of Christianity to be so wide
spread and strong in India. There are many
results, he says, which cannot be tabulate6;
but he is convinced that the work has pro-
essed quie as rapid y as it did in the early
centuries of Church history" He speaks warm
ly of Bishops College, which has been regarded
by many as failure and says that the number
OF Christians in the diocese attached to the S.
T. G. is by no means inconsiderable." The
Bishop of Rangoon, in his survey OF the history
OF the Society in Burmah, speaks of the reluc-
lance with which it avaled itself of the benefits
OF schism among the converts of the American
Baptist Mission. Since 1878 six native clergy
men have been raised up and the mission has
been happily consolidated. The number of or
dained missionaries is IA, and there are 5000
native Christians, 400 communicates, and "a
chapels. The Bishop of Madras unite in very
encouraging report of the sta tie and progress Of
the Society missions in that diocese. They
note an increase of effort toward self support
and of interest in the missions by the native
congregation. Bishop Cell, in his recent charge
as reported elsewhere stated that since his last
visitation, four years ago. the number of bap-
tized native Christians connected with the
Church of England has risen from 1897 to
lO1 ,246, an increase of q, 329, or 81 per cent
Just one half of this increase belongs to the
Church Missionary Society. There are, further,
$4,000 catechumens. No less than S,722 natives
had been confirmed in the four years The in
crease of baptized Christians last year in the
Church Missionary Society districts in Time
velly was only % short of 1000. There were
936 adult baptisms, ,9l9 infant baptisms, 7l3
burials, and Ais marriages, performed by the
81 native &C.. M. S. clergymen in the 1927 &C..
NJ. 81 villages in which there are Christians.
In the six months following his return to active
work, after his severe illness, Bishop Sergent
confirmed 1855 native candidates. The Bishop
of Colombo tells what he has done to discourage
