A continuation of Past Grand Master Parker's
address follows:
"Of course every one takes twenty drive
to Windsor Castle. One is shown through the
various rooms of state and through the Albert
Memorial Hall, most exquisite place. You
are also shown the private chapel of the Queen,
where herself and certain of the nobility attend
divine service on the Sabbath day, the Queens
place being private box similar to one of our
upper theatre boxes. From Windsor Castle
you look over the most beautiful section of
England. Far in the distance rise the spires of
Eaton College, while in another direction you
look upon the equestrian statue Of George Ill,
erected at the end Of a shaded avenue extend
ing for miles.
"Near the inner court, down narrow street
in London, stands Temple Church, erected in the
fifteenth century. In it are buried some of the
most celebrated Knights Templar of ancient
times On the right as you enter are four fig
ures in knightly armor carved in stone, resting in
reclining position on marble slab, beneath
which repose their bones. The most promi-
nent of these figures are Strongbow, or the Earl
Of Pembroke, and his two sons. On the left in
knightly armor are the figures of Lord DeRoss
and three other unknown knights. Few Knights
Templar go abroad who do not visit Temple
Church. My impressions of London are of the
pleasantest character During the twelve days
1 was there we were fortunate enough to have
only half day of rain. The most beautiful
autumnal Indian summer weather prevailed
and we had only one taste of what is known as
a London fog. The streets of London are en-
tirely paved with wooden pavements, which they
find there much more durable than concrete.
OF course there must be much poverty in city
with population of seven millions of people,
but one sees very little of it. From curiosity |
visited the celebrated White Chapel district, and
after travelling longer than thought ought
to | asked a policeman if he could tell me
where could find White Chapel Pointing a

What the Need1ework Guild Is Doing for
the Poor of the City.
Washington is a city prominently given over
to liberal and charitable instincts. Its women
of fashion are not backward in joining the
ranks of their more soberly inclined sisters,
and make opportunities for giving more than
the cup of cold water to the needy. The en-
thusastic determination of these women has
already helped to establish such praiseworthy
institutions as the Children's and Foundlngs'
hospitals the Garfield and Homeopathic hos
pitfalls, the Home of the Good Shepherd, and
homes for the aged and INDECENT.
In January, 1889, new departure was in
stituted ia charitable work, under the director
ship of Mrs D. w. Mahon. 1t was entitled
'The Needlework Guild" and was organized
of England.
The gift of two or more perfectly new and
suitable garments constitutes the donor a
member of the guild. The first year the Needle
years meeting, held as always at 1922 l street,
made display of which any city might be
proud. There is a branch of this guild among
the well-to-do colored people, and they work
with great zeal. The cases of suffering and dis
comfort relieved by both guilds are many and
deserving. Over six hundred garments have been
received for this years distribution, and the
membership has increased to over three hundred.
1t is the ambition of the guild to make its next
years offering one thousand garments.
The officers of the guild are: President, Mrs.
Justice Harlan; Vice Presidents, Mrs. ex.Sena-
ator Pomeroy, Mrs Admiral Murray, Mrs. Gen.
Greely, and Mrs. Samuel j. Randall; Secretary,
Mrs John B. Wight; Treasurer, Miss Fannie G.
Childs; Directors, Mrs. D. w. Mahon, Mrs.
Andrew Coyle. Mrs. Robert Craig, Mrs. H. A. Will

Randall, Mrs G. G. Lancaster, Mrs G. B.
Jewell, Mrs. NJ. G. Emery, Mrs S. H. Shields,
Miss M L. Childs, Mrs. John B. Wight, and
Miss A. r. Green. Any person obtaining con-
tributions from ten persons and reporting them
to the secretary will be considered director,
with the privilege of voting.

The School Question.


If there shall be any attempt by
the Republicans Of Illinois or of
Wisconsin to dodge the school issue,
it will be a sign of weakness and
dishonesty discreditable to the great
party of emancipation and of the
war; and if such an attempt should
succeed it ought to lead to deserved
defeat Among the crafty Republi-
can politicians in Wisconsin there is
a plan to shape State platform on
this question that shall mean any
thing or nothing, as it may be inter
preted by a skilled juggler in words,
and they hope to go before the peo-
pie paltering in such double sense
that they can keep in the ranks both
the friends and the enemies of the
Bennett law This is not possible.
It is a question on which there can
no more be compromise than there
could be a compromise on the old
war and slavery questions.
If the Republicans in Wisconsin
as a party really want to compromise
on the school question, they can not.
No pledge to "uphold the principles
of the Bennett law" but to ''modify
its provisions will be accepted by
alien opponents of the law. They
demand its unconditional repeal. or
at least the repeal Of the provision
requiring instruction in the English
language. That provision consti-
tutes their sole objection to the law.
They will not agree to the existence
Of the law on any other terms but
the exclusion of that provision.
If the friends Of an exclusive alien
language and literature in our pub
lie schools had at first been disposed
to compromise, they are SO disposed
no longer. Seeing the fears and
weakness of the mere politicians
who are on the run-they are now
more urgent in their demands than
ever and more dictatorial in the
terms that they propose
No step backward, is the only
motto for the Republicans. No Mr..
Facing Both Ways can be a leader
in this conflict.

Public and Parochial Schools.

The Rev. Father McCanna, Ro-
man Catholic priest, preached in Jol-
let Sunday night to the following ef-
feet:
He warned parents against send
ing their children to the American
public schools, saying that if they did
they would be lost, and when asked
on the judgment day, "What have
you done with the little ones | gave
you r. the awful reply would come,
Damned, damned, all eternally
damned.
He said that the American public
school system was immoral, unjust,
and unconstitutional (?, that the re-
suit of education in the public
schools was paupers. lunatics, and
criminals, Communists, Socialists,
and Anarchists, and parents might
as we'll send their children to the
iails and penitentiaries at once, as
education in the public school ended
there.
This papal priest was a little more
Incorporate in his language than his
superiors may like, and he may get
