evident that the ordinary ministrations OF the
churches do not reach the people, and that
every year a larger number of men and women
are losing all interest in religion. 1t Is easy
enough to throw ridiculc on reyiva!s; thcy
have not always been managed with Wlsd0m'
and their results have in some instances been OF
little value to the Church But reviyals ut least
testify to two things, that the churches see the
decadence Of religion, and that they feel I'M
PEELED by sense Of duty to bring the people
back to the Church. That of itself is great
deal. In taking this step the Episcopal
Church may lose some of her tradl-
tiona dignity, and cxclusycrcss bat she
will show that she believes in the message
which she breaches, and she will gain the re-
spcct of many who arc not ordinarily gentle in
Judging the Christian Church, ana only too glad
to hold up its imperfcctOns to ridicnle.
The immediate outcome of the Advent
Mission is doubtful 1t is quite likely that
many among the Episcopal clergy disapproye
of such an agency and will stand aloOf from 1t.
They would consccniOusly disapprOye OF
second day of PcntecOst if it were not authorized
by rubric. But these excellent men hardly
represent the spirit of the modern Episcopal
Church. aud will, ere long, have to give way to
men who see more clearly the relation of the
Church 20 modern life. When it is said that
the Episcopal Mission in this city is to be under
the supervision of Bishop Henry c. Potter that
Church and the public in general have the
highest possible assurance that 1t will be con-
Quoted with wisdom and discretion, and with
view to the highest success.

Foraker The packing Of the galleries with
Democratic shOuters was not permitted as at
Toledo, but there was some attempt at disturb
ance while Mr.. Foraker was speaking. On the
whole, the appearance of the candidates before
the people on the same platform has been a
successful experiment. The Democrats are ac-
cusing the Republicans of frauds, but they have
10 evidence to sustain the charge, while the
Republicans enforce their charges by publish
ing lists of fraudulent registrations. The Re-
publicans are on their guard and the Demo
cratic game is not likely to succeed.

Perhaps tho oldest thing about the explosion
was Professor Mcrriman'S observations at New
Brunswick. People about New York who saw the
uplifcd water and felt ths shock declare that
the mine was fired about thirteen minutes past II.
But the New brunswick professor lcit the Garth
tremor at ono minute past II, and saws that 1t
lasted minute and thirty-seycn seconds. New
Brunswick is ab)ut thirty miles from Ncw-iork.
An interesting problem is afforded to scientific
persons in determining how the seismic undulatlon
could hc fo at that distance before the force that
caused il WAS set iu operation. Probably Pro-
lessor Mcrrmau regret, that ho did not wait before
giving ms observations 80 the world until he know
that tho mine Lad been fired. It's another Illus
tration OF the fact that see what We look for

There is better order in st. Louis, but it is
evidently only because the striking street-car
employees think they have the companies badly
beaten, aud because they expect to get what
they demand through the citizens volunteer
committee of arbitration. Arbitration is an
admirable way by which to settle labor
troubles but it is mistake to propose it after
a riot breaks out and before order is restored.
1t is direct encouragement for dissatisfied
workHgmen to make bloody trouble every time
they want their wages increased and their
hours shortened. The better policy for the
citizens of St. Louis would have been to insist
that law and order should be first maintained
at any cost. Then arbitration might wisely
have been proposed.

THE TRIBUNEs cable letter this morning calls
attention to :hc active influence in politics now
exertcd in Ireland by the priests of the Roman
Catholic Church under the lead OF Archbishop
Walsh. Heretofore under pressure from Rome,
behind which stood the great English Catholics,
the Irish Church has been kept from active sup
port of the National cause. This is all changed
now, and a combined prelacy is ed in be-
half of Mr.. Parncll. 1t is, indeed, only natural
that tho Irish priests should sympathize with
other Irishmen. They are mainly recruited
from the ranks of the Irish peasantry who for
centuries have suffered at the hands of the
landlords Of cburse they are against Eng
land. But the spectacle of the Irish Catholic
Church following the leadership OF Il Prcsby-
terrain like Parncll is remarkable.
The Eastern situation grows more pcaccablc
daily, aud the delay of the Great Powers to set
tie any point definitely tends to keep matters
Quiet Practically the Bulgarian question is
arranged but Greece and Scryia remain
troublesome. Greece Of course can be con-
troed in which ever way England sees best.
Not 50 with Servia Unless King Milan gets the
additional territory demanded by his people, he
will lose his crown, and Austria would then cx-
pect to see the country fall quickly under
Russian influence This she will hardly endure
without protest. Whether that would end in
fighting depends greatly upon Bismarck. Act
ing with England, Germany could solve the
problem in the Balkans in the way that appears
best to the Chancellor. 1t does not seem I'M
possible that the outcome of the whole matter
may be the building of a great nation in Bull
garia which eventually may rule at CONSTANT
nople.
The outlook in Ohio is most cheering for the
Republicans. Our dispatches state that thor
ough canvass of all the counties except those
which arc largely Democratic has been made
and that competent and experienced observers
look for the success of the Republican State
ticket and a majority in the Legislature. This,
after making ample allowance for Republican
stay at homes and Democratic frauds. The
Joint debate between the candidates closed at

AFTER BUFFALO BILL.-Those who were

o'clock Yesterday afternoon, were treated
to parody on "Buifalo Bill's Wild West

whose face was covered by shaggy beard

dashing down the broad avenue, mounted
on q fiery steed. 1t was whisky

Shortly after his disappearance horse
was missed, and he identified the horse
which was taken from Baird as his prop
erty. Baird acknowledged taking the
horse, but said he wanted to have some
fun. Ie probably will when Judge Smell
