Why Go Elsewhere for a Bishop

Why Go Elsewhere for a BISHOP?
The Episcopal church Of Georgia is still
without a bishop. Two conventions have
been Leld and two men have been elected to
the place made vacant by the death OF
Bishop Beckwith and both have declined.
Both were well fitted for the position and
either would have filed it creditably and
satisfactorily Each, however, believed he
could DO the church greater service in the
place 90 now occupies. DR.. Gailor was the
first choice and Bishop Talbot the secord.
The question that is being quite generally
asked by members Of the Episcopal church
is, who will be the third choice!
Is there not some one among the Episco-
pal cleryymen of the state who would make
an acceptable bishop! The Episcopal minis.
ters Of Georgia compare favorably with
those of any other state. There are among
them men of eloquence and learning and
some one or more OF them would, 10 all
probability, show that they possessed ex-
cellent administrative ability If given q
chance.
Now that the diocesan convention has
considered about all the available minis
ters outside of the state would it not be
good policy to review little more closely
and critically the qualifications Of the min
issers within the stated II there is any one
in Georgia who would likely meet the ap-
prevail of the church it would seem to be
the part of wisdom to elect him to the va
cant place.
The fact that the convention has twice
| gone outside of the state for bishop ought
not to deter any one in the state from &C
cepting the place. Ministers should not
consult their own feelings in such matter
The interests of the church should be their
sole consideration.
And q home minister understands the
work to be done mu h better than an OUT
slider would, and in many respects is better
prepared to do it. a man who has made a
reputation is not likely to make a more ac-
ceptable and successful bishop than faith
full, but comparatively unknown, worker.
Let the third choice fall upon some one in
the state and the chances are no moro con-
ventions will have to be called.

The Ooala Resolution.

An extraordinary effort is being made to
con vince the alliance members of the legis-
lature that it is their duty t. vote for the
Barrett resolution indorsing the Ocala plat
form, whether they think the legislature is
the proper place for such a resolution or
not. The Southern Alliance Farmer, in its
last issue, says:
But even admitting, for the sake or ar
gumeat, that the Barrett resolution was
inopportunel After it was introduced 1t boz
came the duty of every allianceman to cup
port it freely and heartily; for its defeat
would Ger tainly be interpreted by our enc
mics into defeat for the alliance move
ment in Georgia. AS evidence OF this, the
simple reference Of the resolution to q COM
mittee was seized upon by the partisan
press all over the country as victory
against the farmers, aud the next day hun
dreds OF papers, in flaming headlines, her
aided the glad tidiugs.
So, according to the alliance organ, al
lance members should vote for the resolu-
ton even though their judgments are
against committing the legislature to it,
simply to deprive the papers which are not
friendly to the alliance from having the
chance of asserting in flaming headlines
that the alliance in Georgia has received a
setback. They must do what they do not
believe to be wise in order to deprive their
opponents of the opportunity of stating
what is not true. The organ does not give
sllisncemen good advice 1t should tell
them to do what they believe to be right
under all and any circumstances.
AS matter of fact refusal to indorse
the Ocala platform would not be a setback
for the alliance 1t would be only an indi-
cation that the alliance is disposed to do
what ia right, aud not to do everything it
has the power to do regardless of the ques-
ton of its right to do it.
While it is true that legislatures do pass
resolutions instructing their representatives
in congress, and even ask congress 20
pass certain measures, it would be difficult
to find precedent for the Ocals platform
resolution. The Ocala platform is not only
the platform of a secret organization,
which is taking q prominent part
in politics, but it is the platform
OF q political party that was organized at
Cincinnati last May. The legislature there
fore could with as much propriety ask con-
gress to legislate in conformity with the
democratic or republican platform as with
the Ocala platform.
1t is pretty certain, however. that the
Ocala platform will be Endorsed, and the
Democratic party of the state, which has
not had an opportunity of passing upon it,
will be put in the position of favoring it.
Alliance members who do not believe it is
right to take such an advantage of the
Democratic party will be build ozed into
voting for it by the fear that they will not
be considered good allancemen if they vote
against It.

W. j. Arkell tells the following story on him
self: "Barnum fooled me once pretty badly.
He up to ali sorts of tricks, and you could
not keep too close an eye upon him. / was in
New York one day at the time wnen was pub
fishing the Albany JOurnd, when saw q story
about Barnum in the Evening Post. II was
something 70 this effect, that Bernum was
walking around the show one day when he saw
young man attentively looking at the pictures
and seemingly much interested in them. Bar
mum spoke to him and asked him if he would
ike to have the show explained to him He
said he would, and the Snowman took him the
entire round and gave him a very interesting
talk about the features of the show. When
he got through the young man said
And non, Mr.. Barnum, suppose you
let me explain the show to YOU Barnum as
the show aud explained its features TO him with
such perfect understanding that Barnum was
amazed. Young man. he said, you know more
about this business than any man ever met.
You know more about it than | do VIII you
work for me-? Yes, the young man said he
would work for him. L will give you 5000 u
year. SAID Barnum. No. the young man would
not work for that 4 win give you g., 5OO,' said
Barnum.
IAN right said the young man. 4 will work
for that.
so they went over to Mr. Bailey's Office. and
Mr.. Barnum said to Mr.. Bailey: I want you to
put this young man on the salary list at $500
year. He knows more about the show bust
ness that anyone ever met
=" 1 guess you don't want to do that, said Mr..
Bailey. That young man Is our western adj
vance agent, and we are paying him $4,000 a
year now
The story struck me as a pretty good one
and ltelegrapned my editor in Albany to use it
the next day. Then got TO worrying about it.
1t didn't seem to me just right, and as l was
passing the Euenin0 Post Office. seeing young
Godkiu standing out in front. had an idea.
Hello, Godkin said J. what did Barnum pay
you for that story?
''Godkln pulled me inside of the door. Don't
talk so loud, he said in a whisper. The fact
is we only got so cents line for that story, but
we might just as well have had 81
1T was too late to stop the story then. The
Journal was out on the street But IL made
me feel pretty sick when found out how had
been fooled. Well sir, that story went all over
the country and it was copied everywhere as a
legitin ate news story. And it was a good story,
too. but it was pretty clever advertis .ment.
Barnum was a very cuts man.

street. says the New York World, with the horse
on dead run and the bell ringing, when a
woman ran out from the sidewalk and waved
her parasol and shouted:

The vehicle continued its pace and she look ed
after it moment and then turned and said TO a
policeman who had come up:

a lot of extra trouble. was going to tell them
how to handle him."
Do you know who has been hurt?" asked the
officer.

but he's fallen down in hit on the street."

time he wants a dollar and l refuse it he goes
down on the sidewalk, begins to dance aud

Alster was smoking a cigar, and, carefully re

Chicago newspapers state that all doubt
as to the completion Of the worlds fair
buildings by the autumn of 1899 is being
rapidly dispeled. At Jackson park nine of
the great worlds fair buildings are swiftly
going skyward, and their broad foundations
give to visitors some idea Of the vastness Of
the coming exposition. Three thousand
worklaen are busy building foundations,
finishing substructures aud raising super
structures. In the case of the woman's and
the mines and transportation buildings work
has gone so far that sections will shortly be
ready for the exterior covering. While
visitors are amazed at the acres Of founda-
tions, their great interest cen ters about the
construction of the big manufactures and
liberal arts building. An area of founda-
lions 200 feet long and 500 feet wide is
something which appears stupendous
Twenty carloads of timber have been
dumped on the grounds for this building
and i is estimated that 10. 10000 feet will
be required for the woodwork alone on the
structure. Work has advanced so far that
early this week hoor-laying is likely TO be-
gin By this means the hustling Chicageans
may yet manage to make up the time they
squandered in preliminary wrangling.
