Mission work a. Oregon.

Bishop Morris of Oregon talked a4Ater-
tainingly at st. Johns Church yesterday
afternoon. He said the advent season ia
the Protestant Episcopal Church was
generally devoted TO mission work. The
missionary work of ehe Church IS brought
to mind because that Christ was the mis-
sioHary to all the world The people of
the Church do not have very clear con-
ceFtion of the missionary jurisdictions
even Of their own country. Oregon Ia as
large as the combined area of New York
and Pennsylvania, it is far north on the
Pacific coast and next to Washing
ton. In the diocese are but
nineteen clergymen. Three schools and
one university are the educational depart
ment. Girls are being educated in these
schools, and are very useful In the
church work. A hospital was started
severa years ago in the woods near Port.

ATLANTA, Ga. Dec 23.-Henry w.
Grady, the famous orator and editor of
the Atlanta Constitution, died of pneu-
monia this morning. His Illness was con-
tracted in Boston last week where the
distinguished speaker had gone to
deliver an address, Since Thurs
day his case was announced
to be dangerous. but it was only vester-
day that the crisis came and tie disease
took hopeless turn. Mr.. Grady's wife,
mother and his two children ware pres
ent at his death bed Prayers for the
sick man were offered in all the churches
yesterday.
With perhaps single exception, Henry
Wooden Grady is the best known editor
in the Southern States. He had been
talked Of as a nominee for the Vice
Presidency of the United States, yet he
never held public Office.
Mr.. Grady was but 38 years Of age. It
is only ten years since he first began TO
attract attention. His rapid rise in the

a conscious moment yesterday, was char
acteristic: "If / die, said he, "I die
serving the South, the land | loves so
well Father fell in battle for it. am
proud to die talking for it.
He was born at Athens. Ga in 1851
His father was a colonel in the Confed-
crate army, and lost his life in battle
when his son was only IA years old.
Young Grady was educated at the Uni
versity of Georgia, in his native city,
where he graduated at the head of his
class, and his studies were afterwards
continued at the University Of Virginia.
From the first Mr. Grady was strongly
attached to journalism, and on leaving
college, a lad of 10. he started daily
paper on his own account at Rome, Ga.
This necessarily failed, but not dis
couraged, Mr. Grady went to Atlanta
aud started first the Herald and then the
Courier in opposition to the Constitution.
Later, when, by a successful specula-
tion, he acquired $50, 900, he bought a
quarter interest in the Constitution
This interest, now enormously enhanced,
he owned at the time of his death.

rup cp.ND ARMY At MILWAUKEE.

The late encampment was perhaps disap-
,,ointment TO both the friends and enemies of
tho Union veterans. In numbers as well as
in character, the attendance, ofhciai ana vol
untary. went far beyond the hopes that had
been entertained since the unfortunate dlsa7.
oreement between certain department COM
n,anders and the railways. Inc delegates
were never more numerous, better chosen, or
more in earnest in their work. The almost
nun,herIess reunions of the survivors OF the
historic regiments, brigades and divisions that
are accustomed to gather under the lee' as IL
were. of the grand encampment, never drew SO
many of the comrades together, save perhaps
at Columbus and st. Louis. The proceedings
Of the National Encampment itself were
meyer more business-lille, or marked by better
bumor or greater good sense. 1t follows that
those who never liked the old soldiers when
they were young and who have been earnestly
hoping they might commit some gaIing indls-
erection now that they have grown old, are
disappointed.
TO this class it is a natural grief to find the
Grand Army as far as ever from turning itself
into "political machine" and if possible far
tber than ever from doing anything to deserve
the epithet Of beggars," invented for them by
the discohtented and the Democratic press
the latter strangely forgetting, or yet more
strangely, not caring that every second or third
stone thus thrown in spite hurts one of their
own party. 1t is not the first time in history
that this term "beggars' has been reckesSly
applied to a proud and patriotic body OF cit
liens. Never was it less deserved. Men who
demand their just and lawful rights do. not
beg. even when they ask that "apothecaries
scaesD and powerful magnifying glasses be
not brought to the measurement. The Nation
has been generous with its purse; and so were
these men with their lives and their life's blood
But it cannot be said that the Nation has fully
kept it's contract so long as the sole hope in
clearing the crowded docket of the Pension
Bureau rests on the death Of the unfortunate
claimants.

doubtful if any of these figures will ever be
exceeded The Grand Army has grown stead

things, the deaths must exceed the accessiOnS
and the increasing weight of years, so strongly
and so powerfully evident at Milwaukee, will

CLERlCALISN IN TRANCE.

The French Governments warning to the
clergy not to take part in the elections is a
demonstration against clericalism and not
against the Church. 1t may be justified alike
by the Concordat which is virtually n treaty
of peace between the nation and the Vatican,
and also by persistent displays of perniciOuS
activity on the part of bishops and clergy in
various electoral campaigns since the estab-
ishment Of the Republic. Under the existing
system Of State maintenance the Church repre-
SentS the nation and not group of political
factions. Republicans as well as ROyaliSts and
BoulangistS contribute by taxation to the sd
ponds received by the priests and village cures.
The conditions Of the Concordat imply obiiga-
tons on the part of the clergy to recognize the
validity Of existing institutions, and not to
array themselves against the Government which
provides for their support. The majority of
the priests have cheerfully complied with the
requirements Of civil law and refIained from
| meddling in elections But in several crises
Of Republican fortunes the higher ecclesiasticS
have shown themselves to be MonarchistS.
Conservatives and caballeis imbued with hos
thty to the present form OF government. When
Gambetta denounced clericaliSm Us the enemy
the clergy were organized as political power
in resistance to the tendencies Of democratic
progress.
1t is only just to add that the clergy, as time
has gone on, have manifested an increasing
readiness 10 adapt themselves TO the new con-
ditions OF public life. The country cures be-
ing recruited mainly from the pessantry and
educated without expense to themselves in the
seminaries have desired to exercise their
priestly functions without turning the con-
fessional into an instrument of political propa-
ganda, and without getting into strife with the
municipal communes over their stipends. 1t
is pressure from the higher ecclesiastical circles
that has caused them TO neglect their spiritual
calling and 10 take an active and partisan stand
in politics. The more fortunate cures of the
town parishes have been more readily infiu-
enced by ambition since their chances of pro-
motion have depended largely upon their

Standing well with the higher ecclesiastics, who
have been for the most part reactionary zeaIots.
But the pressure upon the lower clergy whether
in town or country has been greatly relaxed
since Gambetta's death and Ferrys overthrow
ord cIericalism as a political force has ma
teriaIly declined. The Governments warning
is undoubtedly timely and necessary, but the
pon,,bHc has less cause for apprehension from
int,igues in that quarter than it has had at any
time since the downfall of the Empire. II the
cIo,cv could be convinced that legislators had

horass them with menaces Of disestablishment
and an, the enforcement OF the requirements Of
military service, they would undoubtedly be
less disposed to exert their influence against
democratic institutions The attitude of The
Radical leaders continues to alarm them but
they are gradually finding out that the present
