The papers are publishing some Stats
tics from the Alabama tax digests, which,
if correctly stated, are peculiar, TO say the
least Of them. The value Of all the hogs
in the state is $50, $50; farming imple-
ments. SIS, 291; printing presses and ma
terial. SIO6, 796; libraries, ,2O4; sheep,
$3.50, 245; mechanical tools, 1921 Az bonds,
1851, 793; guns, pistols, dirks. ETC., S4lO,-
T62. The Alabama people appear to be
better heeled for fighting than for feeding
the little ones, or those who own deadly
weapons are more conscientious about
giving them in at full valuation than the
farmers and.mechanlcsof the State.

A Cincinnati paper says: 1t would
probably be the cheapest thing for the
government 10 bring the Piegan Indians
down TO Washington and board them at

then some Indian agents would be de-
Drived Of fat stealings. The grand old
party could never think Of doing such an
Injustice to any Of its members.

The Bib county Democrats have done
well in nominating Messrs. Gustin, Bart

1T the Republicans would carry Maine
By at least 10000 and probably by 5000
majority. The canvass made was thought
70 be sufficient to produce this result.
Mr.. Blaine and his managers were shrewd
enough, however, to give it out that they
did not expect over 10000 majority, so
that it might be made to appear that their
most sanguine expectations had been
surpassed. A Belfast letter TO the SPRING
field, Mass, Republican, an independent
paper. conveys the above information,
and also says the Democrats made three
mistakes in regard to Maine: 'sOne in
giving up the State at the start; one in
not using money for legitimate purposes,
and the third in not making provision TO
detect and punish Republican bribery.

When the mathematicians get through

To the Editor Of the 81. Croir Avis.
Dear Mr.. Editor!

AS find that some persons have the
impression that the Bishops of our
MOravian Brpthrcn's Unity care not
ordained ministers of Jesus Christ, in The
Church of God in the fullest, broadcast
sense, in which it can be affirmed Of any
of the followers of Christ in His gospel
ministry the world OVER" permit me to
give in your paper, a brief statement of the
historical facts, which are probably not
generally known. The Episcopal ordina-
ton of the church Of the Unitas Fratrum
was derived from that of the Western or
Romish Church through a small branch Of
the Waldensian Church in Austria, which
had received it through conservation by
Bishops of the Roman Church at the Council
of Basic in 1434-that Council being at open
variance with the Pope of Rome. From
two Bishops Of this Waldensian Church,
one of them called Stephen, the first three
Bishops of the Brethren received the
Episcopacy by ordination in the year 1907.
Bishop Stephen suffered martyrdom as Il
hereto at Vienna in 1869.
The historical truth of this statement is
supported by two eminent historians Of
Bohemia ofthe present day, DR.. F. Palacky,
HiStoriographer of the Kingdom of
Bohemia, and DR.. Gindrly, Curator Of the
Royal Library and Museum at Prague,
who, though a Roman Catholic, has writ
ten the most critical and exhaustive history
Of the ancient Brethren's Church to be had
in print.
Apostolic succession with us does not
rest on any supposed unbrOken line Of
orders, or acts of conservation, from the
time of the Apostles downwards. 1t may
be found in the descent of the ancient
Church of Bohemia from the Sclavonian
branch of the Eastern or Greek Church.
Illyricum and Dalmatia from. Nv. 10.
2 Tim. ". 10.) were Sclavonian Provinces.
The light Of truth was kindled there by
Apostolic hands. It sh0ne then into other
lands, westward and nOrthward. 1t has
continued to shine, though with intervals
Of dimness, and at times well-nigh quench-
ed; and it shines today, amongst the rest,
in and through the Church of the United
Brethren. That is the succession of Apos-
tolic truth, of the Apostolic spirit, and of
Apostolic labours. If we have not these.
we have no Apostolic succession worthy Of
the name.
