MIGSjTPE ~ BTRNJH,

The dispatch stating that King Thebaw has
ordered all the EngliShmcn in Burmah to be
killed is not incredible, whatever the facts may
be- HIS fcrocity and cruelty are so notorious
that such an order ia not surprising, and the
less so since recourse to massacre is by no
means unknown in Oriental States under SINH
lar circumstances. 1t is also quite possible that
not only all Englishmen but all Europeans in
Burmah will be killed, for this King mas IA
much reason to be dissatisfied with the French
for not helping him out OF the scrapc they got
him into. AS with the English for undertaking
10 teach him a lesson. There are probably not
great number of Europeans in the country
though doubtless enough to render the cXecu-
ton of the Kings alleged sangulnary order
very horrible and deplorablc. The majority
of the foreigners are probably at Mandalay,
which would render the execution of the order
easier. Tho officers of the Bombay and Bur-
nah Trading Company, ThcbaWs attempt to
break faith with which corporation brought on
the present difficulty. are among those threat
encd or already sacrificed, and there are some
French merchants and consular agents.
The danger of massacre of Europeans Is
always present during disputes with Oriental
dcspots, and it is ore of the reasons which tend
To compel the annexation OF such countries
when they are conquered. The carrying on OF
commerce in. and developing the resources OF,
these countries. are seriously interfered with
by the caprice and INSCRIPTIONS ferocity of the
rulers at critical juncturcS, and often the con
Gucror is thus forced to choose between re-
nouncng all hope of commercial expansion IN
the region concerned, and annexation. a Bur
mcsc massacre ut this time would 20 lar to
settle the question in favor OF Immediate an
ncxation and would have the greater influence
in this direction because France would he apt
To found a claim to intervention on the murder
of her citizens, and evidently would not be sat
,Ged with so poor guarantee for the future
as another native Burmese dynasty oilers. IL
is alleged that French intrigue Is responsible
for the audacity of Thebaw's proceedings and
there is some ground for the charge apparently.
If il is true, however, the French agents have
probably by this time paid dearly for their
dreams of IndO-C Chinese empire, and In Sacri-
Gclng their lives have after all only precpi-
tatcd the absorption of Upper Burmah 10y Eng
land. and the withdrawal of Siam beyond
French influence.

pastors and the women of their iocks which is
so apt to DC misc0nceived and to afford matter
for soothing and scandal to prejudiced lay
minds. 1t is plain enough that between an
earnest and energetic minister and equally
earnest and energetic female members OF the
church there must arise an intimacy ana a
frequency of communication liable, III certain
easily conceived circumstances, to give rise to
suspicion. Suspicion in such cases Is sure TO
grow rapidly, if only because the average man
finds secret pleasure in the overthrow oil
whatever aTroSates a moral or social superior
ity. Thus the position of tue minister Is hemmed
with dangers, and if he is not careful his down
tall is never far off. Add to these difficulties
such as grow out of the development OF church
ciQues, which always, in accordance with some
unexplained law of nature, become peculiarly
rancorous in the prosecution of their quarrels,
and the pastors lot Is certainly not happy
one. When, or if. the pastor himself is weak or
vicious or imprudent, the catastrophe may be
said to create itself.
In the case under notice the inyarlaDle
accomplishments and cOncOmitants OF all
church scandals are present III force. Ihere Is
a vein of hatred against the minister on one
side, and rs intense 4 vein on the other OF en-
thusiastc devotion to him. The mischief OF
this extremism is that between the two irrecOn-
cilabe ciques the truth is liable to get so
tossed about as finally to be lost sight OF. The
knowledge that he has stanch band OF
friends at his back, moreover, is apt to produce
in the mind of the accused pastor feeling that
he need not mind what the courts decide; That
the only decision that can affect him must come
from the church. This seems to be what Mr.
Downes thinks just now though he is clear
sighted enough to perceive that it he is found
guilty on the charge about to be prosecuted
against him in the criminal court there VIII
remain nothing for him but resignation.
To the lay intelligence it may appear that
even the shadow of such n charge must destroy
the usefulness of n minister and there Is reason
to believe that there was time when the
churches generally held this view. But OF late
the spirit of faction has made such progress that
in many instances there is more concern
manifested about beating the other side than
about the moral questions at issue, and If the
profane public perceive this tendency they only
sheer the more at the unwholcsomc nature OF
the disclosures made, ana the evidences offered
that conversion does not always convert.

At the same time Mr.. Gladstone is well
aware how strongly the current of modern
thought is running against State churches ana
foresees the ultimate fate of the Establish
ment. AS an English Churchman he has no
fears that the substitution of the voluntary
system for the present order will impair the
vitality or usefulness of the Anglican conf
munion. The half-century which has passed
since he was at Oxford listening to DIR. New
man at st. Mary's and entering with character
istic subtety of mind into the religious
controversies of the day, has witnessed a
marvellous IMMIGRATION of that Church. Mr..
Brighc has confessed that if the Establishment
had not shown signs of renewed life and use
funess disestablishment would have been
accomplished long ago. 1t is because that
Church has become q great working force in
ChristendOm and done so much to earn the
respect of NOnconfOrmists as well as to COM
mend the affections of Englishmen that discs
Enlistment, as Mr.. Gladstone asserts, will be
nothing less than a gigantic operation. The
warmth and affection of his tribute to the
English Church and the calm reasonableness of
his protest against preciptate action and
premature agitation will go far toward
reassuring moderate Liberals.

THE DOUNEST1BER CISF

The Downes- Tabcr case. which has disturbed
Boston more or less during the past three
months. has also excited much interest among
the public who are rather given to expect the
worst of ministers accused of imprOprictics.
The decision Of Judge Allen granting Tabcr Il
divorce from his wife and dismssing the cross
bill of the latter, has been surprise generally,
and evidently not least to the pastor himself
A. Mrs. Tabtr was not accused of wrong. doing
with any one but himself the judicial decision
which condemns her directly. indirectly de-
elalcs him guilty. His position at this moment
is indeed peculiar. While thus virtually con-
dcmned in one court he awaits trial in another
and it is of course possible that though in
directly convicted he may be directly acquitted
Such Il turn to the case would involve COM
plcatiOms Of the most aggravating and appar-
emily hopeless kind. But this is not all A
third inquiry-by the Bowdoin Church-is
about to be set on foot in response to the
demand of the pastor; and as in such trial
probably evidence Will be allowed which courts
would exclude, a fuller if not more satisfactory
view of the whole affair may be presented
The case like all similar ones, Il considerably
obscurcd and entangled by the pervading
presence of that peculiar relation between
