THE CHURCH CT ENGLAND.
Opposition to Its Disestablishment Grad

Opposition to Its Disestablishment Grad
ually Diminishing.
LONDON, May 28.--It may be taken as
one of the signs of the times that less
and less opposition is shown to the pro-
posal to disestablish the English church.
The recent vote In parliament on the
motion to disestablish the Church Of
Scotland, the growing strength from
year to year Of the Liberation society,
which has this end as its object for the
entire kingdom, the comparative indif-
ference of the Tory press to the question,
all tend to show that disestablishment is
not without hope of realization.
In fact it seems possible that some
day it may come as welcome relief
from the grievances Of the present sys-
tenn. One of the most glaring anoma-
lies of the church endowment system 10
found in the payment of the clergy.
This Is real grievance, and one under
which many q poor curate and his fam
lily are starving. and the horse racing
and hunting vicar as likely, as not has
his town house in addition to his
suburban vicarage and enjoys the pleas
ures of the season, while his poor curate
administers to the needs and does the
Work OF tine parish,
There are about $4,000 clergymen Of
the established church in the kingdom,
1900 of whom are curates. Clerical
salaries range from $75, 900, received by
the archbishop of Canterbury, down to
$3.50, which represents the allowance OF
the humble curate.
The system has other faults. II is inn
possible to displace q vicar except for
gross immortality or some crime, and the
rope which is allowed rector is Of woI.r
derful length. A curate, however, may
be sent packing ut any time, wife, child
rem and all. He is treated as a sort of
superior servant and is retained only
during his rector's pleasure, unless he be
licensed, in which case he can be dis
missed at the end of a years engage
ment.
When vicar wants q curate he can
obtain one on trial. The bishop of the
diocese grants permission for curate to
try the place for three months, at the
end of which time If he and the vicar are
agreed the bishop will license him. But.
If the curate has proved unpopular, the
vicar is at liberty to dismiss him with
less prospect than before of obtaining
work. M
The Liberationists point to the -four
ishiHg of the church in Ireland, which
has long been disestablished and disen-
dowed, and demand that abuses in the
church of England be terminated in like
manner.

A Loss to Vermont.


The death of Golden is great loss
to all breeders of trotting stock IN
New England. Had helived his sons
and daughters would have contribu-
ted greatly to the reputation OF the
East, and particularly to Vermont,
as a section for producing the ideal
gentleman's roadster Mr.. Bailey
has a number of Golden colts, and
we hope that among them may be
found some which will prove as sue
cessful sires of speed, style and beauty
as Golden Horse Breeder.
Out of Politics Now.

Veazey. Il believe" he said, that
from this moment the g. A R. takes

zey is not a candidate for President
of the United States" There is a
good deal of meaning to this remark,

What Poor Roads Do.
There is man down in PennSyl-
vania, Mr.. James B. Powell, who as
cribes the loss to the country of its
farmer population, not to the protec-
tive tariff, or the republican admins
tration, but to poor roads. Mr..
Powell, at a meeting of the Pennsyl-
vania State road commission, the
other day, said: Poor roads are
compelling farmers to give up agri-
culture and go on to the large cities
and towns. One-third of every year
a farmer in Pennsylvania is bound
up at his home with mud" 1t is just
so in Vermont, but the people find it
cheaper to be bound up at their
homes with mud one-third of the
year than to fix the roads. There is
no accounting for some peoples ideas
of economy.-[B Burlington Free Press.
Farmers Alliance Not in Politics.
The most excellent rising humorist
of the dog days is c. w. McCune,
secretary of the Farmers Alliance.
This rare wag says the Farmers ALI
ance isn't in politics. OF course it
isn't. The Farmers Alliance is a so
ciety organized for the purpose of
collecting and preserving old oaken
buckets, cultivating wild oats, speed
ing the plough, beating swords into
pruning hooks, promoting more cor
dial relations between dogs and
sheep, soothing and vaccinifying fe-
rocious bulls, studying the works of
Jeremiah Rusk, threshing old straw,
making hay while the sun shines, not
letting the grass grow under its feet,
taking the kick out of bay steers,
finding the birds in last years nests,
buttering parsnips, building barns
for swallows, making ducks and
brakes of things, counting chickens
before they're Matched, gathering figs
of thistles, proceeding from the egg
to the apple, returning to its NUT
tons, chasing gossamers, letting the
goose hang high, killing the hen that
lays the golden egg, eating its head
off, beling the cat, and other objects
too numerous to mention. What
should politics do in such an innocent
and benevolent associa ton? Politics

The one man in the world who
could have prevented the assassina-
ton of President Lincoln is dead.
John Frederick Parker, born in Win
chester, Va, came to Washington
some time before the firing upon
Sumter, and soon found employment
upon the metropolitan police force.
When, in 1862, it was decided to
strengthen the regular force of door
keepers and watchmen at the White
House with a squad of policemen
Parker was one of those selected. 1t
thus happened that when President
Lincoln and party entered the old
Ford theatre on the night of Good
Friday, 1865, they were accompanied
by Parker as guard. He took his
position at the door of the private
box from which President Lincoln
watched the performance, where he
was expected to remain and prevent
the entrance of everyone except the
members of the party.
AS the play proceeded, Parker
from his post, could hearjust enough
of what was said on the stage to
arouse his curiosity, and it was not
long before he left the door and edged
his way toward the auditorium He
finally took a seat in the orchestra or
pit as it was then called, where he
had scarcely settled himself when the
whole audience was surprised by the
report of pistol shot. The assassin,
Booth, had stealthily approached
the door of the presidents private
box, where, finding no one to chal-
lenge him, he entered unannounced
and fired the fatal shot. There is no
question in the minds of those VINO
are familiar with the details that had
Parker remained at his post Booth
could never have taken President Lin
coin unawares.-[ Chicago News.

THE WAY 1T WORKS.

The young and alert nephew of Sen
atOr HOAR, who is making a brilliant
canvass as Democratic candidate for
congress in one of the Massachusetts
districts, in his speech at Waltham
made some reference to the watches
manufactured there, to which the secre-
tary of the company took some excep-
ton. The facts in the case are Illus
trative and suggestive, as presented by
MIR. HoAR in his reply to the criticisms.
There are eleven of these watch facto-
rles i'll the country, which nominally are
competitors. but have an agreement as
to prices. They use the mechanical
contriyances of American ingenuity in
their productions to such an extent that
labor is trivial item in the cost of
watch. They can turn out work
by their machines that enables
them to undersell the lowest-priced
handwork of Europe, where there has
been less progress made in the use of
mechanical devices. Consequently, the
American watch can go into the markets
of the world and make its way success
fully in the face of all competition. But
the American watch is sold to other
countries at smaller figures than to the
American trade. 1t is not sold without
fair profit; but to be in the fashion. the
watch trust or combine had a few quiet
lines inserted in the MCKINLEY bill i'm
posing duty of 25 per cent on watches
and parts thereof. This enables the
thrifty managers of the eleven watch
factories of the country to add % per
cent to the selling price of their goods.
With this addition to the home profits
they can afford to cut their figures still
closer to the foreign trade. The case is
similar to many others. The consumer
abroad is the lucky party.
