demntng the diocese Of Ohio for not bring
Ing the offender to Justice DR.. DoNALD's
point Is, and it is strong point, that
nobody ought to be prejudged and pro-
nounced guilty until he is 80 proved
after due and authoritative investigation.
He does not sympathize with Mr.. MAC
QUEARYs theories. but he demands that he
shall be treated with fairness, and that each
diocese shall be left to regulate Its own af-
fairs without interference from any lndi-
vidual outside Bishop.
1t is very interesting dlscusslon and Is n
symptom OF the restlessness OF the clergy
under what they regard as episcopal AFRO
gance. But the Churchmun takes the side Of
Bishop POTTER without reserve, though It
acknowledges the temperate spirit in which
DIR. DONALD presents his case. He Is argu-
Ing for the rights OF the presbyter.
Mr.. MACQUEARY, we believe, has since
been admonished for his teachings by Bishop
LEONARD of Ohio, and may be duly tried.
But what does the Churchmdn imply by ask
ing: How many unknown MAcQUEARYs
are there in the ranks OF the clergy Of the
Church ?" Are we to infer that doubts Of
the literal meaning OF "born Of a virgin I"
are frequent among tho Episcopal clergy ?

The authorities in Tunis have forbidden
the departure OF pilgrims for Mecca on account
OF tho report that cholera is prevalent
there. 1t Is not at all unlikely that the dis
eases spread abroad through these pilgrim
ages to the holy city will In time make the
journey 30 unpopular that the number Of Wis.,
itors will he greatly reduced. The Dutch
traveller. scHNoucK, who is the last European
to visit Mecca In Disguise tells narrowing
story OF the sufTerinGs Of the pilgrims while in
the city, and OF the total lack Of sanitary or
other measures that would contribute to their
health and comfort. Pilgrims from Mecca are
often source OF great uneasiness In the Afri-
can coast towns. whose people are never sure
that pestIIence does not accompany the devo-
tees. Tho steamers OF the Rubattino Company
are supposed to stop on every trip at JeddG,
the port OF Mecca, but their visits there are
quito irregular. because the other norts where
they touch are very likely to have quarantine
against Jedda In fact, Mecca Is coming TO DO
regarded as a good deal OF nuisance even in
some Mohammedan regions.

the patrons OF that delusive and reprobate
game OF chance called "policy;" but to
preserve any uniformity Of action. and to be
able to make any canvass. voters OF their
way OF thinking must give their united sup
port to one or the other ticket OF the lot.
Let us take the First Assembly district as
IN illustration. 1t contains 1880 voters, OF
whom 6, 800 are usually Democratic and 1000
Republican. Each OF the Democratic fac
tions, the Republicans, and probably the
Labor party, the Temperance party, tho
Socialists, and the Women Suffraglsts, will
have a ticket. There will probably be found
in addition, n small number OF Clerical
Citizens, reformers and regenerators gen.
orally, who will want ticket OF their own.
Who, outside Of their municipal nominees,will
compose it? If they make regular nomina-
tions, say for Congress, Assembly, and AL
dermen, the gentlemen put UP for these
posts will naturally and reasonably expect
the same uniformity OF support from the
Clerical Citizens that they and their friends
will give to the municipal ticket OF
the clergymen. In other words, the
Citizens will have to make fight for votes
In each district everywhere, or they will
pal Offices solely. II the latter course Is
pursued the movement will be wholly with
out representative character, since 1t will
not be the effort OF earnest electors band
ing together to fill public posts, but will
degenerate into mere contest OF private
individuals running for municipal offices
against the nominees Of the organized
parties. Under such conditions, 1t is not
probable that all the tickets which bear
at their head the name Of candidate
like DR.. DE COSTA will get In the First
more than a handful OF votes, perhaps
hundred in the total OF {. 800: and what's true
OF the First Assembly district will be SUBJ
stantially true OF every other populous To-
cality in town. So tho Citizens movement,
which budded in hope, would wither and
fade away before blossoming.
The new election law gives to independent
voters no such advantages as the Clerical pol
iticlans suppose. Indeed 1t makes their
work harder than 1t was before. 1t puts
premium upon party, and upon party candi-
dates; and by complicating the election
machinery makes 1t more difficult for an in-
dependent candidate to run than was the
case under the old law. 1t saves, it Is
true, the cost Of ballot printing; but the
trouble In the past has not been that indie
pendent candidates could not get their
ballots printed, but that they couldn't
get them voted. The same trouble will
confront them this year. for the most
patient and careful scrutiny OF the new
law fails to reveal any clause in 1t en-
abling any Independent candidate, whether
nominated at the Windsor Hotel or the At
lantic Garden, to win unless plurality Of
the voters want him. And they won't want
them II the regular parties put up can
didates who are just as good, II not better.

1t VIII Trouble tho Political Parsons.

Tho gentlemen who have been meeting at
the Windsor Hotel are very hopeful OF salts
factory results from the spontaneous Cit-
z0ns' movement which they have originated
at that establishment They base much OF
their confidence upon the operation Of the
now ballot law which went into effect on
Tuesday last. This law they declare. gives to
Independent and unattached citizens OF their
own way of thinking an unprecedented OPP
portunity." A large number OF these gentle
men, 1t is evident, have had their minds dis
tracted, and their attention drawn from the
task Of reading and compromising the act,
by the clatter concerning Its advantages
made by some Of Its advocates who are as
ignorant on the subject as themselves. AS
matter Of fact, the new law. 30 far from
assisting movements like that OF the Clerical
Citizens. will tend to embarrass rather than
to aid them. They are leaning. 80 to speak,
upon broken reed.
In order to arrive at a better comprehension
OF this subject, let US In all seriousness and
soberness, assume that when the Citizens re-
assemble In September (they have adjourned
until thon. apparently for no better purpose
than 10 leave the field to their opponents)
they will put regularly In nomination a
ticket made up. let US say as follows: The
Rev. B. F. DE COSTA for Mayor, WHEELER II.
PBoKHAM for District Attorney, SIMON PROP
RRTY QUALIFICATION STERN for Sheriff. W.
MARLBORO WINS for Comptroller. CoRNR-
LIUs VEsPUcIUs COLUMBUS DooDY for Presl-
dent OF the Board Of Aldermen. and E.
LARRY GoDKIN. formerly OF Cloughbawn,
for Coroner. Three hundred persons would
undoubtedly sign the certificate OF their
nomination; 1t would be duly filed in
the County Clerks office, and one million
copies OF it would be printed by the county:
four, as the law provides, for each eleotor.
Thus far. at least, the Citizens movement
would be bowling success.
But what would followH The new law pro-
vides that all the candidates balloted for
must DO on the Same ticket. The Citizens
will have a satisfactory list Of names for
municipal offlces. but how will their follow
ers agree concerning the rest OF the ticket
Under the old law, Congressional. judiciary.
Legislative, and aIdermanic candidates were
each ON separate ballots; and the voter
could support q Citizens ticket for municipal
Officers without surrendering his party allie
glance on national or State questions IN
der the now law all his candidates must be
on ono ticket. 1t is truo the Citizens may
secure. at large expense to the city treasury,

1t requires good deal OF philosophy to
face with a smiling visage and unruf1ed tenn
per such n situation as that described by DR..
JUNKER in his new book. While at Suez on his
last trip to Africa he met two wealthy English
men who were to be his fellow travellers down
the coast on the Suakin steamer They were
OF for hunting trip along tho Blue Nile, and
they had sent a splendid equipment from Lon
don to Suez While they were having \ good
time in Cairo their equipment arrived at Buez,
and by accident WAS loaded on the wrong
steamer, and when they reached the Suez
Canal to take the suakin boat they found that
all their guns. ammunition, tents, and the rest
Of their outfit were n thousand miles on the
way to Australia. where they probably arrived
In good condition. The unfortunate Nimrods
had to order another OUTFIT from London.

Holland Will have six months to make up

the Antl-Slavery Conference. She has no ter
ritorial claims in Africa. but she is interested
in the diffusion OF Holland gin. and mas not

Congo State to impose an import tax on gin
and other commodities. Here are nearly all

Our esteemed Farmers Alliance contem-
porary, the atlanta Constitution is still ioyously
procaiming that the Farmers Alliance OF
Georgia Is the Democratic party OF Georgia.
The fact Is not particularly encouraging for
extra Georgian Democrats who do not admire
the Farmers Alliance quite as much as the
Atlanta Constitution admirers 1t. But 1t seems
to be a fact that the Democratic party OF
Georgia is part Of the Farmers Alliance IN
the same way that JONAH was included IN the
whale. AS Farmer W. ]. NoRTHEN. who is 60
ing to be the Alliance Democratic candidate
for Governor says in a speech triumphantly
quoted by the Constitution, which has doomed
his boom with great energy and judgment, II
tho farmers, tho Alliance men, are not Demo-
Gratis. what are they?"
Well some few OF them are Republicans, We
suppose. and oil Of them are In favor OF the pro-
posterous Agricultural Sub Treasury scheme.
OF which Col. LIVINGSTON OF Georgia is perhaps
the most distinguished advocate. There Is. We
believe a concordat between Col. LIVINGSTON
and Mr. NoRTHEN.
II the Democratic party Of Georgia had swal-
lowed the Farmers Alliance, the latter would
have given upth Agricultural Sub Treasury
As the Farmers Alliance has swallowed up
the Democratic party OF Georgia. the latter will
have to swallow all the queer principles Of its
container Mr.. NoRTHEN's question doesn't
have to be answered in the way he supposea
