THE general convention of the Epis-
copaI church of America is now in ses-
sion in New York city. These gener-
al conventions are held every three
years. But this one is regarded as the
most important ever held in the coun-
try as this is the centennial anniver-
sary of the adoption of the constitut-
tion of the Episcopal church in this
country. 1t is notable also also for the
number of questions that will come
up for discussion and settlement.
Among them will be the name of the
church, about which there are conflict
ing opinions, many being opposed to
the present name. Another matter
will be the changes in the book of com
mon prayer, number of which were
adopted at the Chicago convention
three years ago, and now come up fol
final action. The convention consists
of two houses-the house of bishop:
numbering about forty. and the house
of deputies consisting about 400 lay anC
clerical delegates, there being two
from each diocese.

Says the Kansas City Star. 1t is no
longer secret that Minister Ryan,
who has arrived at Washington from
Mexico, to take part in the Pan-Amer-
lean congress, is not in sympathy with
the Blaine Window policy which
threatens to disturb the trade rela-
lions between the two North Ameri-
can Republics, and it is understood
that his mission TO the national capt.
tai is to advocate the free admission
of Mexican ores to the United States.
No one had any idea when Mr.. Ryan
left the SuDfiower stat that he would
experience such speeds, radical and
salutary results from a change of eli
mate. 1t might not be bad scheme

Mexico for the benefit of Kansas pro

VIEWING the question from his
standpoint, and being in a rather petu-
liant and resentful mood, and trifle
disposed to dogmatize and hector, the
editor of the Wichita Eagle thus
sums up the meaning of woman's suf-
rage:
The ballot for women means public
life for women, public life for women
means the loOsening of the ties of home
life, the Ioosening of the bonds of
home life means the destruction of the
home. destruction of the home means
the abrogation of marital laws and re-
lations, the VIKING out of parental OBJ
legation to offspring and a revolution
in civil government. The deduction is
logical not only. but comes within the
purview of every sane person, ard will
not be denied by anybody except "A few
miscoustructed females aud their cla-
Quers, a majority of whom Imagine

Elk GOVERNOR MARTIN was Penn
sylvanian by birth. He came to Kan
sas in 1857 and was therefore one of
the pioneers of the state. Early in
life he engaged in politics, and has
held several important offices, conclud-
ing his political career with the COVER
norship of the state which he held two
terms. AS politician and a Journalist
he held front rank. His newspaper
the Atchison Champion is one of the
oldest and best known journals in the
state. Perhaps the most marked trait
in Colonel Martins character was bis
remarkable fidelity to his friends. In
his death which came to soon, Kansas
has lost astaunch friend and advocate
and an able man.

A PASSAGE. at arms between ex-
Governor Geo. T. Anthony and Hon.
E. H. Funston at the deep water con-
vention was one of the incidents of
Wednesdays session. The honors
were AL with Funston, who ridicnled
the idea that a member OF congress
should feel delicacy in occupying a
seat in the convention. Anthony ru-
ined a fine speech by challenging the
propriety Of the presence of congress-
man there, and Funston dealt him a
resounding blow in return. The re-
suit of the encounter, significant as it
seemed, was accepted by the Kansas
delegation with tumultuous applause.

PERHAPS it should be regarded as a
matter of wonder that even one of the
four new states in the northwest
should have gone democratic. Whether
the fact that the residence of Prince
Russell Harrison in that state, and his
peculiar political methods had any
thing to do with the result or not, is a
question for the curious. In any
event, the result of the election cannot
be regarded as highly complimentary
to the political generalship Of the young
gentleman who lately cut such a wide
swath in the upper circles of several
European capitals.
