THE Oath in the British Commons.


1t is easy to understand the causes that
have led the British House of Commons to
reject the Affirmation Bill notwithstanding
the fact that it was supported by the Prem
Ter. The subject has raised great deal of
feeling in Britain, and the real questions at
issue have been obscured by others which,
after all, are not connected with the matter.
The actions of Mr.. Bradlaugh, too, have not
been Of a kind to assist his cause. After
scornfully refusing TO take the oath he has
lately expressed again and again his desire
and his willingness to do so. His writings
and compilations, aside altogether from
those which are decidedly agnostic, have
been of character calculated TO rouse
against him the feelings and prejudices of
the more respectable portion of the COM
munity. And when to all that is added the
fact that not only are his political opinions
decidedly republican, but the expression of
those opinions has on more than one occa-
sion been absolutely disloyal, we can have
some conception of the antipathy which the
advocate has raised against the cause. To
the unpopularity of Mr.. Bradlaugh the de-
ieat of the Affirmation Bin is largely due.
But the constitutional principle at stake
though obscured for the moment must even
tually triumph. To leave a constituency
practically unrepresented because of the re-
ligious opinions-or rather want of religious
opinions--of the man chosen to represent it
is out of consonance with the more tolerant
and enlightened views of the latter part of
the nineteenth century. The daty which a
representative owes to his country. and to
his constituents, has nothing to do with his
religious belief. None can have higher
sense of religious faith than Mr.. Gladstone,
but we find him clearly, in the face of oblo-
guy, separating the great constitutional
principle from that which had surrounded it
and giving it scope in his Affirmation Bin.
And when the clouds have passed away
British Liberals will be found gradually raj
lying round the principles now enunciated
by Mr.. Gladstone

So 1t appears, after all the diplomatic fuss
made about that proposed meeting between
the monarchs of Italy and Austria, that the
meeting is postponed until November next,
and therefore all the political significance
attached to it by the European journals and
by foreign correspondents was altogether
imaginary. No doubt the whole affair was
diplomatic trick of the German Chancel-
Tor, Prince Bismarck, to alarm France at the
prospect of war with the triple alliance.

A HAMPSHIRE, England, woman, finding
her husband suicidally suspended from the

went to hunt up the authorities and tell
them of the unfortunate course pursued by
her husband. In due time they came, but
then he had ceased struggling and was sleep
ing the placid sleep of death. Her excuse
for not cutting him down when she first dis
covered him was, that he was making such
horrid faces that she hadn't the heart to do

IT was considered rather a plucky per-
Torrance of Nelson when at the naval en-
gagement of Cape st. Vincent he put his
spy-glass to his blind eye and declared that
he could not see the signal of recall, but
then success crowned his daring breach of
discipline, and success, like charity, covers
multitude of sins. General Crook, in
somewhat similar manner, has cut himself
loose from control during his daring raid
into Mexico by giving orders that no dis
patches shall pass his rear-guard. Should
the expedition result in victory, it is more
than probable that this high-handed opera
ton will be applauded, but disaster would
be doubly baneful under the circumstances.
In military matters it is not always the most
prudent general who achieves honor, but on
the other hand, rash gambling for reputa-
tion is more risky in that direction than in
any other in which men are engaged. We
sincerely hope that General Crook will give
a good account of the border outlaws.

MR.. james Bryce, NJ. p, whose essays on
Beaconsfeld and Mr.. Gladstone in the Cen
fury magazine showed him to be an unprej-
udiced and incisive student of political his
tory, has contributed to the same magazine
an article on England and Ireland,n which
is said to be remarkable study of the diff
ferent phases of the Irish question. He
traces the historical, political and social re-
iations of the countries, and blames both
sides for the present disquieting state of af-
fairs. Writing largely for foreign audi
ence, MIR. Bryce has not seen fit to suggest a
remedy or to discuss pending measures; but
the thoughtful reader of his essay can make
his own deductions as to the wisest policy
the dominant party in England should now
pursue.

Easter at the Strangers Church


The Strangers church was very
tastefully decorated by the ladies for
yesterdays services. Mr., Long
preached an earnest and eloquent
Easter sermon in the morning to a
crowd that might be considered large
considering the state of the weather.
At night Mr.. Longs theme was
Vegetation and the Starry Heavens, ~
which was handled in his usual fervid
and brilliant style. Mrs. Gilbert
Raine was at the organ, and the music
was excellent, as it WAS also in the
morning. There is a growing ten.
dency among Protestants outside Of
the Episcopal church to observe
Easter in a spirit OF Christian Joy and
thanksgiving. This is so not only in
Memphis, but all over Christendom,
wherever the story of the cross is told
and a belief in the resurrection is
accepted. There seems to be no good
reason why the observance Of this day
in ell its grand meaning and symbol.
ism should be limited to any particu
lar branch of the church. The
Christian world seems to be coming tC
this idea very rapidly.

The cost of paving Monroe street
from Second to DeSoto is estimated
at $4,000 by the City Engineer, provided
block stone is used. The distance is

about 1000 square yards. From
DeSoto to the bayou 3O5 feet, or 1900
square yards, will cost $1,000 if rubble
stone is used. With curbing the
entire cost is set down at $4,000. The
cost of drainage work on Second from
