The General Convention (triennial) Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, which
met IN Chicago yesterday, is a large, con-
servatlve assemblage OF able men. 1t will
have some very important matters before
it during its sessions, all OF which, doubt
less, will receive the careful consldera-
tlOn they deserve. The convention is
composed of two branches-the House of
Bishops, which comprise all the Bishops
of the church diocesan and M ssionary)
and the House OF Deputies, which is made
up Of eight delegates-four lay and four
clerical-from each diocese, and one
clerical and one lay delegate from each
missionary district.
Since the last convention death has
claimed four Bishops, viz: john F. Young
OF Florida, Benjamin B. Smith of Ken
tuckv. Charles f. Robertson of Missouri,
and Robert ii. Clarkson of Nebraska.
It is probable that a proposition
will be made to modify, to a lin
to meet sentiment in the South
and West in favor of as great simplicity
as possible in everything that pertains to
church services. 1t is also probable that
tae move for a partial revision of the
prayer book will be brought forward
again. This has already been quite ex-
tensively debated in previous conven-
tions.
There is noticeably strong sentiment
in favor OF an appellate court,in which the
findings end decisions of an ecclesiasti.
cal court may be reviewed, and, if neces-
sary, reversed.
At present a decision OF an eccles iasti-
cal court, approved by the Bishop of the
diocese, is final. There is no appeal from
it because there is no court to which an
appeal can be taken. 1t is thought prob
able that the advIsabillty OF establishing
an appellate court will be considered by
the convention.
There is another thing that doubtless
will claim a very considerable share OF
the attention OF the convention. IL is the
importance of closer relations between
the Protestant Episcopal church and
other denominations. Christian teachers
of ali denominations realize that if the
skepticism of the day, which appears to
be growing, is to be successfully met and
overcome, 1t is necessary that all Chris
tian forces should work together. In
union there Is strength. At present
the Protestant Episcopal church does not
cooperate with other denominations in
religious work. Its ministers do not enter
the puipits of other denominations and
ministers Of other denominations do not
enter its pulpits. 1t ia not improbable
that measures will be adopted looking TO
some sort Of arrangement with other
churches for offensive aud defensive war
fare in behalf OF Christianity.

The State election Yesterday was re-
markable one in Georgia, In that there
was no opposition to the Slate ticket. The
in the primaries. The result OF the con-
test in the primary elections made it evil
dent that IL would be useless to nominate
"A candidate against Gen. Gordon.
There being only Que State ticket, there
was very little interest in the election, ex-
cept in few counties where there were
rival legislative candidates, and there
was, therefore, light vote polled.
In this county there was some little ex-
element, due to the fact that there were
two legislative tickets, both OF which
were pretty strongly supported. The vote
was not large, however. That,
doubtless, was because the registration
wa small. Only about three-fOurths of
those voted, however, who were regis
tered. This would se m TO indicate that
the interest in the local contest was not
a. great as 1t was thought it would be a
dav or two ago.
For several days before the election.
and particularly yesterday, the impress
sion was that two Of the sold ticket" and
one OF the knights of Labor ticket would
be elected, and the same impression pre-
vailed at midnight when about half OF
the ballots had been counted.
Ii is probable that the amendments to
the constitution were carried, Stree no
hostility to them cropped out before the
election. Nothing certain, oowever, can be
known OF their fate until the returns have
been pretty generally received.

An exchange says that a spirited
warfare is raging in Newark, N. j.,
against the adoption OF Barnes Brief

book in the public schools on account OF
Ats alleged non-Union sentiment in refer
ence to the civil war. The strife has be-
come 81 bitter that it will be carried into
the city election, which will be held Oct.
IL. Probably this history contains some
unpleasant truths. 1t mig I be we'll for
the Newark patriots to get Gen. Sherman
to write a truly loyal school history foT
them. II is to be regretted that several
Southern States have so little self respect
and regard for the truth Of history that
they use some OF the most unreliable Re-
publican partisan I xt books-readers and
histories-in their public schools.

The Republican plurality and majority
In Name are growing smaller by degrees
and beautifully less as the actual figures
are recorded and added together. The
latest estimates give the plurality at 12,-
$50 ana the majority 1858. The Boston
Herald says; "These figures, instead OF
running above the plurslities and MAORI
ties usual In of years, fall below the aver.
age. We ind that in the seven previous
elections held in Maine in off years fol.
lowing Presidential contests since the
Republican party cbipped the SHELL, the
Republicans obtained an average plu.
rallty OF 1882 over the Democrats and
an average minority Of l1,402 over all op.
pouents. This years figures show piu
rality smaller by TAP and a majority
smaller by 2,444 than the respective aver.
ages OF the previous of years." This
shows about the size OF the boost the
Maine ellctlcn gave the Blaine boom.

A Boston paper is unkind enough to
remind Mr.. Blaine OF an unpleasant scene
in bis career. 1t says: "Mr. Dawes bad
reputation in Congress which would
have fully justified his election as speaker
OF the House OF Representatives in place of
Mr.. Blaine. Gen. Butler, as his colea cue,
deserted him to support the Maine aspI-
rant. He claimed TO have turned the
scale. and then asked for his reward of
Mr. Blaine. The manner in which the
latter eluded him by getting out of a
window OF the speakers room while Gen.
Butler was waiting for him at its door is
one Of the iunny incid nts which people
remember in Washington. Mr.. Dawes
was The Republican leader Ct the House
at that period" This was almost az dra-
matte as the scene when the Plumed
Knight got on bis knees, as related IN the
history OF the Muihgan letters business.

Clandestine Childish Marriages.

The frequency OF childish marriages
at the New Jersey Gretna Green is
stirring up the ministry and the people
to an evil that must be remedied by
law if at all. But there is even a
worse state OF affairs existing in some
of the villages ofNew England. There
is a village not quite 100 miles from
Boston which contains a minister
who is noted for the number of these
marriages of minors consummated
during his passionate. Ministers who
for the sake of a petty fee will ruth
lessly destroy the happiness of two
homes by their "nosGuestion- asked"
policy ought to be locked up as
dangerous members of society. With
two children scarcely out OF the gram
mar school likely to tancy that they
love each other, and q minister of
this kind within fifteen miles, 10
home is safe from one OF these clandes-
tine marriages, and parents, to pro-
tect their homes, would do we'll to do
as the father of q 'spoony" young son
DID recently. He filed the correct ages
ofhls son and his intended with the
town registrars and resident clergy
men within a radius of ten miles, and
warned them that the marriage would
be illegal because the son was minor.
1t is pretty sad state of affairs
when parents are forced to descend
TO such means as these.-Boston

1t was an Auful Mess to be in.
st Man in The Boston Record.

Best Man in The Boston Record.
The bridegroom had moved worlds,
so to speak, to get railway passes for
himself and wife almost all the way to
California. He Was poor nlllsic-store
clerk who had had the luck to marry
an heiress, and he knew perfectly well
he shouldn't have none, enough to
spend month III California, as the
young lady wished, unless he could get
passes out to Ogden. He had friend
who was clerk to railway director,
and the thing was managed. Imagine
the situation a half hour before train
time, when the poor young man dis
covered that he had lost the passes!
The bride was gettinginto her travling
dress; the carriage which was to take
them to the station was at the door.
The rooms were full OF guests making
ready to 60 home. The agonized fellow
searched pocket after pocket in despair.
1t was lucky that he was almost alone
in adressing-room upstairs. The few
gentlemen who were there putting on
their overcoats could not help smiling
at seeing his distressed search, al
though, of course, they felt very sorry
for him. At last, in desperation, he
rushed out into the passage, probably
with q vague hope Of finding friend
to loan him enough money to help him
through his dilemma, and met his bride
coming out of her room.
"For Heavens sake, George| what is
the matter?" she cried, as soon as she
saw his pale face and wild manner.
1--WE lost the passes!" he answered in
stage like whisper that was really
-blood-curdling for misery.
She took it all in in all instant, and
replied: "Come on, we'll miss the train.
| have a big check that papa gave me
in my ndbag."
"Whoop!" exclaimed George and
he plunged back into the dressing
room. He remembered his own
handbag. There were the passes in
an inner pocket, where he had placed
them for safs-keeping. He came back
relieved, but fairly mopping his brow,
and he was still q little white around
the corners of his mouth as the car
| riage drove off in a shower of rice.
